Excerpt from Two Discourses to Townsmen You ought seriously to weigh the grand motives and views, which produced the settlement of New-England. At the end of twenty years from the landing of the Pilgrims on the Rock of Plymouth, there had arrived in New-England about twenty one thousand souls. After this period, more people left the country, than came into it.* These twenty-one thousand, therefore, are properly considered as our ancestors, as the Fathers of New-England. Now it is a fact, as notorious as it is important, that they came to this country, with the express design of procuring for themselves the enjoyment of civil and religious liberty, and of transmitting the same to posterity. The emigration of the Fathers was produced by the civil and ecclesiastical oppressions of the mother country; and they looked upon New-England, as an asylum prepared by Providence, where they might maintain the worship of God, and enjoy the blessings of equal laws. Spiritual privileges, however, in their estimation, far exceeded all others; and were placed by them as much above temporal privileges, as by us they are placed below them. The leading motives and views of the New-England Fathers, are well and truly stated by Mr. John Higginson, in a sermon, delivered before the General Court of Massachusetts in 1683. "When the Lord stirred up the spirits of so many of his people," said Mr. Higginson, "to come over to this wilderness, it was not for worldly wealth, or a better livelihood for the outward man. The generality of the people that came over, professed the contrary; nor had we any rational grounds to expect such a thing in such a wilderness. Though God hath blessed his poor people here, and there are, that have increased here from small beginnings to great estates; yet these are but additions; they are but additional mercies. It was another and a better thing, that we followed the Lord into the wilderness for. This is never to be forgotten, that New-England is a plantation of religion. And if any man amongst us make religion as twelve, and the world as thirteen, let such an one know, he hath neither the spirit of a true New-England man; nor yet of a sincere christian."

Excerpt from Two Discourses The face of society is continually assuming new forms. Old things are passing away. Empires are falling, and giv ing place to new political combinations, which, in turn, flour ish for a season, and then give place to others of a different character. States are changing. Laws and ordinances are changing. Legislators are urging on the bold experiment to discover the best system of human government, that shall combine the greatest amount of human liberty consistent with due subordination to law, and the prompt execution of justice. The possession of wealth, of power, of popular influence, is as unstable as water. The men of three score and less may look back upon great and surprising reversion in the circumstances of families, involving disappointment and distress. Changes, moreover, pertain to the externals of Christianity. The form and fitting up of sanctuaries vary - the modes of conducting public worship - the position of the worshippers - the style of sacred melody - the manner of communicating divine truth, vary from age to age. But in the principles of divine worship - ih essential truth as revealed in the Word, there is, there can be, no change.

Rousseau first exposes in Discourse on the Origin of Inequality his conception of a human state of nature, presented as a philosophical fiction and of human perfectibility, an early idea of progress. He then explains the way, according to him, people may have established civil society, which leads him to present private property as the original source and basis of all inequality. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712 – 1778) was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer of the 18th century, mainly active in France. His political philosophy influenced the Enlightenment across Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the overall development of modern political and educational thought.

A spirited defense of the anarchist approach to life James Scott taught us what's wrong with seeing like a state. Now, in his most accessible and personal book to date, the acclaimed social scientist makes the case for seeing like an anarchist. Inspired by the core anarchist faith in the possibilities of voluntary cooperation without hierarchy, Two Cheers for Anarchism is an engaging, high-spirited, and often very funny defense of an anarchist way of seeing—one that provides a unique and powerful perspective on everything from everyday social and political interactions to mass protests and revolutions. Through a wide-ranging series of memorable anecdotes and examples, the book describes an anarchist sensibility that celebrates the local knowledge, common sense, and creativity of ordinary people. The result is a kind of handbook on constructive anarchism that challenges us to radically reconsider the value of hierarchy in public and private life, from schools and workplaces to retirement homes and government itself. Beginning with what Scott calls "the law of anarchist calisthenics," an argument for law-breaking inspired by an East German pedestrian crossing, each chapter opens with a story that captures an essential anarchist truth. In the course of telling these stories, Scott touches on a wide variety of subjects: public disorder and riots, desertion, poaching, vernacular knowledge, assembly-line production, globalization, the petty bourgeoisie, school testing, playgrounds, and the practice of historical explanation. Far from a dogmatic manifesto, Two Cheers for Anarchism celebrates the anarchist confidence in the inventiveness and judgment of people who are free to exercise their creative and moral capacities.

A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.

In Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourses on the Origin of Inequality, he outlines his own history of the development of human society. He explains in general terms how the differences between social and economic classes arose alongside the formation of modern states. He also explores the means by which these inequalities were actually built into and perpetuated by the foundational notions of modern society and government. Rather than endorse a return to the peaceful ways of pre-modern human beings, Rousseau addresses these inequalities in his seminal work, The Social Contract. Rousseau does not see government as an inherently corrupting influence, and he makes very clear and precise recommendations about how the state can and should protect the equality and character of its citizens.
