Book Description

Council/Research in Values..., 2007. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Górski (philosophy and sociology, Polish Academy of Sciences and politics, Swierokrztska Academy) examines ideas about civil society, democracy, pluralism and universalism across Poland, Eastern Europe, Spain and Latin America. He describes the concepts about civil society by Gramsci applied by Italy and elsewhere, the transition from Marxism to liberalism, and the ideas about civil society extant in Poland and East Central Europe, examines the ideas of civil society in Russia and Spain, and analyzes parallel ideas in the democratic transitions of Eastern Europe, Latin America and Spain, comparing their applications with Poland's record. He also examines philosophy and Westernism in Eastern Europe and Central America, the transition from socialism to postmodern pluralism in Poland, and comparisons of universalism in Poland and the Americas. He closes with commentary on John Paul II's influence on Christian and Civil universalism. (©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
