The Plebeian Experience

A Discontinuous History of Political Freedom

By: Martin Breaugh

How do people excluded from political life achieve political agency? Through a series of historical events that have been mostly overlooked by political theorists, Martin Breaugh identifies fleeting yet decisive instances of emancipation in which people took it upon themselves to become political subjects. Emerging during the Roman plebs's first secession in 494 BCE, the plebeian experience consists of an underground or unexplored configuration of political strategies to obtain political freedom. The people reject domination through political praxis and concerted action, therefore establishing an alternative form of power. Breaugh's study concludes in the nineteenth century and integrates ideas from sociology, philosophy, history, and political science. Organized around diverse case studies, his work undertakes exercises in political theory to show how concepts provide a different understanding of the meaning of historical events and our political present. The Plebeian Experience describes a recurring phenomenon that clarifies struggles for emancipation throughout history, expanding research into the political agency of the many and shedding light on the richness of radical democratic struggles from ancient Rome to Occupy Wall Street and beyond.

Political Jurisprudence

By: Martin Loughlin

Political jurisprudence is the branch of jurisprudence that treats law as an aspect of human experience called 'the political'. This is an approach that many contemporary jurists, those whose work presupposes the autonomy of legal order, tend to suppress. In this book, Martin Loughlin assesses the contribution made by political jurists and explains its contemporary significance. Political jurists maintain that the essential characteristics of modern legal order can only be revealed by considering how political authority is constituted. The political is orientated to the fact that people are organized into territorially-bounded units within which authoritative governing arrangements have been established, but the authority of this way of viewing the world is strengthened only through institution-building. Law may be an aspect of the political, but to perform its authority-generating functions effectively it must operate relatively autonomously. The political and the legal operate relationally, without one being reduced to the other. Loughlin introduces the rich literature of political jurisprudence through essays on innovative political jurists such as Hobbes, Burke, Constant, Romano, and Schmitt, and on such central themes as political right, institutionalism, constitutional legality, and reason of state. Building on his earlier books, The Idea of Public Law (OUP 2003) and Foundations of Public Law (OUP 2010), this collection extends his account of this influential strand of European legal thought.

Spirit Connections

By: Lisa Martin Capozzi

It has become acceptable for people to talk freely about their beliefs when it comes to "invisible signs" of spirits among us. People want to believe that there is something that exists beyond the visible. It gives them hope and comfort to think that the dead who've crossed over to the afterlife are able to communicate with us. In 1996, when my Mom passed away, she was able to let me know she was okay and that I would be okay too without her in my physical presence. She is no doubt with me in spirit and still sends me signals to remind me of her spiritual presence in my life. I'm not fearful, rather I find myself smiling or laughing with her whenever she shows herself to me. I like talking to people about this blessing. In turn, I have become pleasantly surprised at the stories other people tell me about their unexplainable experiences with spirits. I never knew how many people had experienced the feelings of what I call "spirit connections". People were eager to confide their experiences to me. It inspired me to write this book which includes forty-seven of their stories in hopes that others will realize that even when your loved ones die, they can live on and be with you in spirit. You will always feel their love as long as you keep them alive in your heart. I hope after you read my book, you will feel renewed joy and happiness from the relationships you have with the living and the dead. And I'm pleased the stories are enhanced with seventeen whimsical illustrations by artist Nicole Renee VanDyke. The book will make a perfect gift for anyone who has ever lost a loved one or is curious about life after death.
