| "This work consists of two parts the essay The Idea of Public Reason Revisited first published in 1997 and The Law of Peoples a major reworking of a much shorter article by the same name published in 1993 Taken together they are the culmination of more than 50 years of reflection on liberalism anon some of the most pressing problems of our times by John Rawls The first essay explains why the constraints of public reason a concept first discussed in Political Liberalism (1993) are ones that holders of both religious and non-religious comprehensive views can reasonably endorse it is rawls's most detailed account of how a modern constitutional democracy based on a liberal political conception could and would be viewed as legitimate by reasonable citizens who on religious philosophical or moral grounds do not themselves accept a liberal comprehensive doctrine - such as that of Kant or Mill or Rawls's own justice as fairness presented in A Theory of Justice (1971) The second essay extends the idea of a social contract to the society of peoples and lays out the general principles that can and should be accepted by both liberal and non-liberal societies as the standard for regulating their behaviour toward one another In particular it draws a crucial distinction between basic human rights and the rights of each citizen of a liberal constitutional democracy It explores the terms under which such a society may appropriately wage war against an outlaw society and discusses the moral grounds for rendering assistance to non-liberal societies burdened by unfavourable political and economic conditions"

| "On July 4 1990 while on a morning walk in southern France Susan Brison was attacked from behind severely beaten sexually assaulted strangled to unconsciousness and left for dead She survived but her world was destroyed Her training as a philosopher could not help her make sense of things and many of her fundamental assumptions about the nature of the self and the world it inhabits were shattered At once a personal narrative of recovery and a philosophical exploration of trauma this book examines the undoing and remaking of a self in the aftermath of violence It explores from an interdisciplinary perspective memory and truth identity and self autonomy and community It offers imaginative access to the experience of a rape survivor as well as a reflective critique of a society in which women routinely fear and suffer sexual violence As Brison observes trauma disrupts memory severs past from present and incapacitates the ability to envision a future Yet the act of bearing witness she argues facilitates recovery by integrating the experience into the survivor's life's story She also argues for the importance as well as the hazards of using first-person narratives in understanding not only trauma but also larger philosophical questions about what we can know and how we should live Bravely and beautifully written Aftermath is that rare book that is an illustration of its own arguments"

| "New insights into how the Book of Samuel offers a timeless meditation on the dilemmas of statecraft The Book of Samuel is universally acknowledged as one of the supreme achievements of biblical literature Yet the book's anonymous author was more than an inspired storyteller The author was also an uncannily astute observer of political life and the moral compromises and contradictions that the struggle for power inevitably entails The Beginning of Politics mines the story of Israel's first two kings to unearth a natural history of power providing a forceful new reading of what is arguably the first and greatest work of Western political thought Moshe Halbertal and Stephen Holmes show how the beautifully crafted narratives of Saul and David cut to the core of politics exploring themes that resonate wherever political power is at stake Through stories such as Saul's madness David's murder of Uriah the rape of Tamar and the rebellion of Absalom the book's author deepens our understanding not only of the necessity of sovereign rule but also of its costs--to the people it is intended to protect and to those who wield it What emerges from the meticulous analysis of these narratives includes such themes as the corrosive grip of power on those who hold and compete for power; the ways in which political violence unleashed by the sovereign on his own subjects is rooted in the paranoia of the isolated ruler and the deniability fostered by hierarchical action through proxies; and the intensity with which the tragic conflict between political loyalty and family loyalty explodes when the ruler's bloodline is made into the guarantor of the all-important continuity of sovereign power The Beginning of Politics is a timely meditation on the dark side of sovereign power and the enduring dilemmas of statecraft"

Weaving together a vivid narrative historical anecdotes and economic analysis The Rise and Fall of American Growth challenges the view that economic growth will continue unabated and demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 cannot be repeated Gordon contends that the nation's productivity growth will be further held back by the headwinds of rising inequality stagnating education an aging population and the rising debt of college students and the federal government and that we must find new solutions A critical voice in the most pressing debates of our time The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come"
