Samenvatting
This audio course examines the major periods in the history of Western political thought and questions the political and social order. It considers the ways in which thinkers have responded to the particular political problems of their day, and the ways in which they contribute to a broader conversation about human goods and needs, justice, democracy, and the proper relationship of the individual to the state. One aim will be to understand the strengths and weaknesses of various regimes and philosophical approaches in order to gain a critical perspective on our own.

Professor Grahame Lock teaches political philosophy at Nijmegen and Leiden Universities and lectures in European philosophy at Oxford University. Among his publications are works on political theory and on general philosophy, including textbooks on the history of political ideas and a monograph on Wittgenstein.

Revolutionairen, anarchisten, socialisten, vredesactivisten, seksuele hervormers, fundamentalisten... wereldverbeteraars zijn van alle tijden. De collecties van het Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis (IISG) in Amsterdam zijn er vol van. Het IISG is het grootste documentatiecentrum ter wereld op het terrein van sociale geschiedenis en emancipatorische bewegingen. Vijftig strekkende kilometer boeken, archieven, posters, spandoeken en foto’s vormen de verzameling waaraan het Instituut zijn vermaardheid dankt. Dit boek verschijnt ter gelegenheid van de 75ste verjaardag van het IISG in 2010. Het kijkt terug op driekwart eeuw verzamelen in internationale context. Maar het schrijft ook een nieuwe geschiedenis van creatieve ideeën en mensen die zich inzetten voor radicale verandering. Wereldverbeteraars vormen de rode draad in het verhaal, dat is opgebouwd uit meer dan tweehonderd originele documenten. Van Karl Marx naar Aung San Suu Kyi, van de Franse Revolutie naar de Chinese studentenopstand van 1989, van de wereldbestormers in de Gouden Eeuw naar de antiglobalisten van nu.

Jaap Kloosterman en Jan Lucassen zijn senior stafmedewerkers van het IISG en samenstellers van de tentoonstelling ‘Wereldverbeteraars, 75 jaar IISG’ in het Gebouw van de Bijzondere Collecties van de Universiteit van Amsterdam, 29 oktober 2010 tot 30 januari 2011.

A book for all ages, from Bar/Bat Mitzvah youth to adults and seniors, looking to make some sense out of our world. Written in the simple style of a skilled storyteller, its appeal is wide: for secular Israelis, traditional, orthodox, liberal or “renewal” Jews, humanists, for inter-faith study and anyone interested in the heritage of Jewish Wisdom.
This inspiring and heartfelt retelling of the building blocks, – the heavenly letters, the Aleph-Bet –, of Creation is a book for all.
