In General Theory of the State, Jellinek retraces the discipline from the Politics of the Greeks to the crisis of his time, among historicism, nascent sociology, and ...

Was FDR the hero that defeated the Germans, or did he turn a blind eye to the plight of the Jews as long as he possibly could?

He is a Jew who was raised during the extreme anti-Semitism of the Great Depression. Having witnessed the fruits of the New Deal firsthand, Beir became a Roosevelt scholar.

He restates the fundamental assumptions that must underlie the new paradigm. Notably, by assuming infinity he is able to adapt classical mechanics to “neomechanics” and its insistence that phenomena are strictly ...
