Fuller Timothy Title : Delitto a Harvard
Author: Fuller Timothy
Publisher: Polillo

Il corpo senza vita del professor Albert Singer, uno dei docenti più apprezzati della Harvard University, nonché specialista di fama mondiale di pittura rinascimentale italiana, viene trovato chino sulla scrivania nel suo studio in Hallowell House. A scoprire il cadavere è Jupiter Jones, un eccentrico quanto geniale studente del corso di Belle Arti, che aveva un appuntamento col professore. Le prime indagini della polizia non portano ad alcuna conclusione, anche perché appare ben presto evidente che, per arrivare a qualche risultato, è fondamentale conoscere il mondo dell'università con i suoi grandi e piccoli segreti. Così, un po' per gioco e un po' per dare una mano alla polizia, Jupiter inizia a investigare e, con sua grande sorpresa, si trova di fronte ad alcuni possibili colpevoli, del tutto insospettabili, e a moventi inaspettati. Scritto nel 1936 da uno studente ventunenne del suddetto ateneo e percorso da un raffinato sense of humour, Delitto a Harvard è una deliziosa opera prima, paragonabile per la sua leggerezza e la scrittura brillante a uno dei grandi classici dell'età d'oro del giallo:

Fuller Timothy (EDT) Title : Machiavelli's Legacy
Author: Fuller Timothy (EDT)
Publisher: Univ of Pennsylvania Pr

Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince is one of the most celebrated and notorious books in the history of Western political thought. It continues to influence discussions of war and peace, the nature of politics, and the relation of private ethics to public duties. Ostensibly a sixteenth-century manual of instruction on certain aspects of princely rule and behavior, The Prince anticipates and complicates modern political and philosophical questions. What is the right order of society? Can Western politics still be the model for progress toward peace and prosperity, or does our freedom to create our individual purposes and pursuits undermine our public responsibilities? Are the characteristics of our politics markedly different, for better or for worse, than the politics of earlier eras? Machiavelli argues that there is no ideal, transcendent order to which one can conform, and that the right order is merely the one that has the capacity to persist over time. The Prince's emphasis on the importance of an effective truth over any abstract ideal marks it as one of the first works of modern political philosophy.

Machiavelli's Legacy situates Machiavelli in general and The Prince in particular at the birth of modernity. Joining the conversation with established Machiavelli scholars are political theorists, Americanists, and international relations scholars, ensuring a diversity of viewpoints and approaches. Each contributor elucidates different features of Machiavelli's thinking, from his rejection of classical antiquity and Christianity, to his proposed dissolution of natural roles and hierarchies among human beings. The essays cover topics such as Machiavelli's vision for a heaven-sent redemptive ruler of Italy, an argument that Machiavelli accomplished a profoundly democratic turn in political thought, and a tough-minded liberal critique of his realistic agenda for political life, resulting in a book that is, in effect, a spirited conversation about Machiavelli's legacy.

Fuller Timothy Title : Un paio di tacchi alti
Author: Fuller Timothy
Publisher: Polillo

Al Syonsett Beach Hotel è in corso la classica riunione degli ex compagni della Harvard University nel decennale della laurea, un'occasione per ritrovarsi, ricordare i vecchi tempi, fare il punto sulle rispettive carriere. Ma la lieta ricorrenza finisce in tragedia quando uno di loro, tale Sherman North, viene trovato morto con una pallottola in petto sul campo da golf vicino all'albergo. Difficile ipotizzare un movente poiché i presenti non lo vedevano dai tempi dell'università, e l'unico indizio rinvenuto nei pressi del cadavere - le impronte di un paio di scarpe da donna con il tacco alto risulta ben poco illuminante. Inoltre Ed Rice, il compagno di stanza della vittima, non ricorda nulla della notte del delitto a causa dei troppi alcolici e men che meno il motivo per cui la camicia che indossava fosse imbrattata di sangue. In suo aiuto accorre Jupiter Jones, un altro ex harvardiano, al quale Ed deve fare da testimone di nozze. Jupiter ha sempre avuto il pallino delle investigazioni, ma stavolta deve risolvere il caso e scagionare l'amico il più in fretta possibile: il suo matrimonio è fissato per la mattina dopo...

Oakeshott Michael, Fuller Timothy Title : The Voice of Liberal Learning
Author: Oakeshott Michael, Fuller Timothy
Publisher: Liberty Fund

By 1989, when Michael Oakeshott’s Voice of Liberal Learning was first published by Yale University Press, books that held a negative view of education in the United States, such as Allan Bloom’s The Closing of the American Mind and E. D. Hirsch’s Cultural Literacy, had garnered a remarkable amount of attention. There have been countless lamentations about the state of schooling in America in recent years, and there have been countless recommendations toward what is invariably called “educational reform.”

To those weary and wary of the cacophony about what’s wrong with education in America and what ought to be done about it, Oakeshott’s voice beckons. As usual, his approach to the subject is subtle, comprehensive, and radical—in the sense of summoning readers to the root of the matter. That root, Oakeshott believed, is the very nature of learning itself and, concomitantly, the means (as distinct from the method) by which the life of learning is discovered, cultivated, and pursued. As Oakeshott has written, “This, then, is what we are concerned with: adventures in human self-understanding. Not the bare protestation that a human being is a self-conscious, reflective intelligence and that he does not live by bread alone, but the actual enquiries, utterances, and actions in which human beings have expressed their understanding of the human condition. This is the stuff of what has come to be called a ‘liberal’ education—‘liberal’ because it is liberated from the distracting business of satisfying contingent wants.”

Liberty Fund’s new edition of The Voice of Liberal Learning includes a foreword by Timothy Fuller that reiterates the timelessness of Oakeshott’s reflections amid the continuing clamor that characterizes discourse about liberal education.

Michael Oakeshott (1901–1990) was Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics and a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He was the author of many works, including Rationalism in Politics and Other Essays, On History and Other Essays, and Hobbes on Civil Association, all of which are published by Liberty Fund.
