Such fundamental flaws, or discontents, afflict all Modernist theory, from Russian Formalism through Structuralism and Deconstruction. The problems of ...

They need to be fixed before it’s too late.Saving Our Service Academies covers one man’s unrelenting thirty-year fight with the military bureaucracy to instill qualities of force and thoughtfulness in officers-to-be, to show young men how to be adults with other men and women, and to show young women how to deal with the men. Bruce Fleming ha...

A defence of democratic politics, this book argues that democracy comprises a structure based on two incompatible world-views: one relativist and liberal, the other absolutist and conservative ¿ the combination of which is at once essential for its success, yet also that which threatens its survival.
