Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk

Що криється за популярним гаслом «Україна — це Європа»? Чи лише географічне розташування та історичний контекст, чи спільні цінності та схожа ментальність? Чи потрібно Україні членство в ЄС? Як наша держава може вплинути на розвиток Європи і водночас як може змінитися сама? У збірці есеїв «Нова Європа», ініційованій Центром «Нова Європа» та «Видавництвом Старого Лева», відомі українці-інтелектуали — історики, політики, журналісти, релігійні та громадські діячі — розповідають про своє бачення України та її місце в Європі. Вони діляться нетривіальними думками, які будуть цікаві і скептикам, і оптимістам, а також тим, хто намагається сформувати власну візію розвитку нашої країни.

Thomas G. Masaryk was founding and first president of the State of Czechoslovakia. He was also a dissident charter member of the theoretical vanguard that established modern sociology in the nineteenth century. Many social scientists are aware of Masaryk's political role, but do not know about his significant contributions to sociology. With the publication of this book, Imber and Woolfolk hope to restore Masaryk to his rightful place in history as a founding sociological theorist. This compilation of some of Masaryk's major writings reveals the intertwining of politics and social theory that is characteristic of his thinking. Chapters in Constructive Sociological Theory include "The Development of the Modern Suicide Tendency"; "Essence and Method of Sociology"; "The Epistemological Problem of Russian Philosophy"; "The Religious Question and Modern Philosophy"; "The Class Structure of Society": "Central Problems of Marxist Policy"; and "Democracy versus Theocracy.". Constructive Sociological Theory also presents these writings together in English for the first time. Alan Woolfolk's substantial introduction extensively discusses Masaryk's biographical background, academic life, political career, religious views, and interpretations of Marx and Comte, among other subjects. This landmark volume will be an essential addition to the libraries of political theorists, sociologists, philosophers, and theologians.

Their magic tree house takes Jack and Annie back to the Wild West, where they experience excitement and danger and try to solve a riddle.

A group of bibliophiles found two lectures of T. G. Maseryk, (Founder of the Czech Republic), dated 1905, in TYRS, a monthly publication, in Kromeriz, Moravia. The lectures were delivered on April 15th and 16th of that year, in Kromeriz, as part of a University Extension Course on the PROBLEM OF A SMALL NATION. The Kromeriz bibliophiles and their friends privately published this significant find in a NOT-FOR- SALE-EDITION on the occasion of the IX CONGRESS of MORAVIAN BIBLIOPHILES and EXLIBRISTS in Valasske Mezerici, on May 16th, 1937. This revered print on the same occasion celebrated the 87th birthday of President the Liberator, Masaryk. (Vasil K.Skrach. In Prague, June Ist, 1937).
