Eric Voegelin and Leo Strauss are two of the most provocative and durable political philosophers of this century. Ted McAllister's superbly written study provides the first comprehensive comparison of their thought and its profound influence on contemporary American conservatism. Since the appearance in the 1950s of Strauss's Natural Right and History and Voegelin's Order and History, conservatives like Russell Kirk, Irving Kristol, and Allan Bloom have increasingly turned to these thinkers to support their attacks on liberalism and the modernist mindset. Like so many conservatives, Strauss and Voegelin rebelled against modernity' amorality-personified by Machiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche-and its promotion of individualism and materialism over communal and spiritual responsibility. While both disdained the reductionist "conservative" label, conservatives nevertheless appropriated their philosophy, in part because it restored theology and classical tradition to the moral core of civil society. For both men, modernity's debilitating disorder revealed surprising and disturbing relations among liberal, communist, and Nazi ideologies. In their eyes, modernity's insidious virus, so apparent in the Nazi and communist regimes, lies incubating within liberal democracy itself. McAllister's thorough reevaluation of Strauss and Voegelin expands our understanding of their thought and restores balance to a literature that has been dominated by political theorists and disciples of Strauss and Voegelin. Neither reverential nor dismissive, he reveals the social, historical, political, and philosophical foundations of their work and effectively decodes their frequently opaque or esoteric thinking. Well written and persuasively argued, McAllister's study will appeal to anyone engaged in the volatile debates over liberalism's demise and conservatism's rise.

This book offers a lively and acute assessment of the actual aims, methods, and results of the development process, as against its ostensible aims. The author asks several questions: Why is there such a mystical aura about the term 'development'? What are its underlying assumptions? Who is being 'developed', and to whose advantage? He also considers the fact that such 'development', which had promised a golden future to the 'backward' countries of the South, is now increasingly an excuse for mere plunder and violence directed both against Man and his environment. Can such views of development be countered? The author discusses resistance movements in India and other countries, such as the Philippines, and the reasons for the success of such resistance. Finally, there is the question of alternatives: if the clock cannot be turned back, can it be slowed down? Or turned in another direction? The author's views on these questions, which concern the thinking observer as much as the 'development expert' or policy-maker, make this book of enormous topical relevance.
