Dimensions of Dignity

The Theory and Practice of Modern Constitutional Law

By: Jacob Weinrib

In an age of constitutional revolutions and reforms, theory and practice are moving in opposite directions. As a matter of constitutional practice, human dignity has emerged in jurisdictions around the world as the organizing idea of a groundbreaking paradigm. By reconfiguring constitutional norms, institutional structures and legal doctrines, this paradigm transforms human dignity from a mere moral claim into a legal norm that persons have standing to vindicate. As a matter of constitutional theory, however, human dignity remains an enigmatic idea. Some explicate its meaning in abstraction from constitutional practice, while others confine themselves to less exalted ideas. The result is a chasm that separates constitutional practice from a theory capable of justifying its innovations and guiding its operation. By expounding the connection between human dignity and the constitutional practices that justify themselves in its light, Jacob Weinrib brings the theory and practice of constitutional law back together.

In Between and Across

Legal History Without Boundaries

By: Kenneth Walter Mack,Jacob Katz Cogan

In Between and Across acknowledges the boundaries that have separated different modes of historical inquiry, but views law as a way of talking across them. It recognizes that legal history allows scholars to talk across many boundaries, such as those between markets and politics, between identity and state power, as well as between national borders and the flows of people, capital and ideas around the world.

The Red Thread

The Passaic Textile Strike

By: Jacob A. Zumoff

This book tells the story of 15,000 wool workers who went on strike for more than a year, defying police violence and hunger. The strikers were mainly immigrants and half were women. The Passaic textile strike, the first time that the Communist Party led a mass workers’ struggle in the United States, captured the nation’s imagination and came to symbolize the struggle of workers throughout the country when the labor movement as a whole was in decline during the conservative, pro-business 1920s. Although the strike was defeated, many of the methods and tactics of the Passaic strike presaged the struggles for industrial unions a decade later in the Great Depression.

The Law of Freedom

The Supreme Court and Democracy

By: Jacob Eisler

The Supreme Court has been at the center of great upheavals in American democracy across the last seventy years. From the end of Jim Crow to the rise of wealth-dominated national campaigns, the Court has battled over if democracy is an egalitarian collaboration to serve the good of all citizens, or a competitive struggle by private interests. In The Law of Freedom, Jacob Eisler questions why the Court has the moral authority to shape democracy at all. Analyzing leading cases through the lens of philosophy and social science, Eisler demonstrates how the soul of election law is a battle between two philosophical understandings of democratic freedom and popular self-rule. This remarkable book reveals that the Court's battle over democracy has shaped how Americans rule themselves, marking election law as the most dramatic judicial intervention in constitutional history.

The Concept of Property in Kant, Fichte, and Hegel

By: Jacob Blumenfeld

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Concept of Property in Kant, Fichte, and Hegel

Freedom, Right, and Recognition

By: Jacob Blumenfeld

This book provides a detailed account of the role of property in German Idealism. It puts the concept of property in the center of the philosophical systems of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel and shows how property remains tied to their conceptions of freedom, right, and recognition. The book begins with a critical genealogy of the concept of property in modern legal philosophy, followed by a reconstruction of the theory of property in Kant’s Doctrine of Right, Fichte’s Foundations of Natural Right, and Hegel’s Jena Realphilosophie. By turning to the tradition of German Rechtsphilosophie, as opposed to the more standard libertarian and utilitarian frameworks of property, it explores the metaphysical, normative, political, and material questions that make property intelligible as a social relation. The book formulates a normative theory of property rooted in practical reason, mutual recognition, and social freedom. This relational theory of property, inspired by German Idealism, brings a fresh angle to contemporary property theory. Additionally, it provides crucial philosophical background to 19th century debates on private property, inequality, labor, socialism, capitalism, and the state. The Concept of Property in Kant, Fichte, and Hegel will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in 19th Century German philosophy, social and political philosophy, philosophy of law, political theory, and political economy.

Telling Tales

Making Sense of Christian and Judaic Nonsense: The Urgency and Basis for Judeo-Christian Dialogue

By: Jacob Neusner

Jacob Neusner makes the astonishing claim that Judeo-Christian dialogue is nonexistent. . . . This book is substantive. It suggests what both parties [Christians and Jews] might do and say as first works and words when they undertake dialogue. If they are realistic, frank, aware of their own stories, they can further such dialogue. If they keep making up 'soft versions' of their own tradition, they will produce mush or hypocrisy (from the Foreword). Instead of having dialogue, Christians and Jews have been exchanging monologues--parallel lines that never meet, says Jacob Neusner. This is because neither Christians nor Jews have viewed each other according to each other's terms. Neusner proposes a new way of beginning dialogue by suggesting that Jews and Christians exchange stories. This, he says, will help Christians and Jews understand each other and ultimately provide a way of making sense of the other party's nonsense.

Jacob of Sarug's Homily on the Sinful Woman

By: Jacob (of Serug),Scott Fitzgerald Johnson

This edition of Mar Jacob of Sarug's (d. 521) homily on the sinful woman who anoints Jesus at the banquet - widely identified in the west as Mary Magdalene - focuses on the theme of weeping which Jacob describes as the dominant characteristic of repentence. For him, the sinful woman is the example of true Christian contrition. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacob's surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation.

The Prayers of Jacob of Serugh

By: Mary Hansbury

Fairacres Publications 177 Jacob of Serugh (451-521) is one of the great poets of the early Syriac tradition. His meditations focus us on the centrality of divine love as he understood it in the context of scripture. These reflections on the mysteries of salvation were prefaces to his homilies; as Sebastian Brock remarks in his Foreword, they ‘are beautiful little gems in their own right.’ In this book, Mary Hansbury presents a selection of the richest and most theologically profound of Jacob’s prayers. They introduce us to his warm pastoral concern for the spiritual and theological formation of the Christians in his care, which has remained lively and accessible down the ages.

The Missing Jesus

Rabbinic Judaism and the New Testament

By: Craig A. Evans,Jacob Neusner

How can Jesus said to be "missing"? References to Jesus are not missing, but rather a dimension of his identity. This text demonstrates that in order for us to understand Jesus and his influence, we need to see him within the context of the Judaism that was his own natural environment.

The Great Procession

By: Jacob Reeve

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Great Procession

By: Jacob Reeve

The Great Procession chronicles a series of encounters with the Holy Spirit that Jacob Reeve experienced over the course of nine months immediately following a 40-day fast. During this time, Jacob was awakened almost every night by the Spirit to receive the next portion of an ongoing parable that picked up where it left off the night before. As the story unfolds, so does the contrast between the divisive religious mindset and the mindset of pure identity in Christ. The Spirit is revealing what it looks like for mankind to venture out from the island of isolation and into the open forests of God's Kingdom: hence the Great Procession. For many, this parable will represent a foundational shift in the way everything is seen. The Incredible insights from the Holy Spirit answer many of those deep-down questions about life, purpose, and faith that many of us have, and will prove to be an indispensable resource for anyone who desires to live in a wholehearted, full embrace with Christ, knowing the King and His Kingdom, and living in the true faith, freedom, and love that the Holy Spirit beckons us into.

Jacob of Sarug's Homily on Simon Peter, when Our Lord Said, "Get Behind Me, Satan"

By: Jacob (of Serug)

Jacob of Sarug's (d. 521) homily on Simon Peter, when our Lord said, "Get behind me Satan!" (Matt 16:23) touches the themes of Jesus' divinity and death, warfare with Satan, the harrowing of hell, and his relationship with Peter. Peter's rebuke of Jesus' willingness to die gives Jesus (through Jacob) the occasion to explain what his death will accomplish. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacob's surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation.
