1946059794Chicago: University Of Chicago Press 1946. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Ix 245 Pp. Green Cloth Gilt. First Printing. Book With Wear Spine Gilt Bright. Inscribed By Morgenthau "With Kindest Regards" To Yves René Marie Simon 1903 - 1961. Simon Studied Under Jacques Maritain At The Institut Catholique De Paris. He Taught At The Institut Catholique De Lille From 1930 To 1938. In 1938 He Went To The University Of Notre Dame Where He Remained Until 1958. He Is Best Known For His Work In Moral And Political Philosophy.Dust Jacket Priced $3.00 Wear Short Edge Tears And Small Losses Somewhat Crushed Spine Panel Completely Pinked . Per Wikipedia Morgenthau's Scientific Man Versus Power Politics 1946 Argued Against An Over Reliance On Science And Technology As Solutions To Political And Social Problems. The Book Presented A "Pessimistic View Of Human Nature" Centered On A Universal Lust For Power And The Inevitability Of Selfishness. Hans Joachim Morgenthau 1904 - 1980 Was A German-American Jurist And Political Scientist Who Was One Of The Major 20Th-Century Figures In The Study Of International Relations. Morgenthau Is Usually Considered Among The Most Influential Realists Of The Post-World War Ii Period. Morgenthau Made Landmark Contributions To International Relations Theory And The Study Of International Law. In 1933 Morgenthau Published A Second Book In French La Notion Du "Politique" Which Was Translated Into English And Published In 2012 As The Concept Of The Political. In This Book Morgenthau Seeks To Articulate The Difference Between Legal Disputes Between Nations And Political Disputes Between Nations Or Other Litigants. The Questions Driving The Inquiry Are: I Who Holds Legal Power Over The Objects Or Concerns Being Disputed Ii In What Manner Can The Holder Of This Legal Power Be Changed Or Held Accountable Iii How Can A Dispute The Object Of Which Concerns A Legal Power Be Resolved And Iv In What Manner Will The Holder Of The Legal Power Be Protected In The Course Of Exercising That Power For Morgenthau The End Goal Of Any Legal System In This Context Is To "Ensure Justice And Peace". In His Work In The 1920S And 1930S Morgenthau Sought A "Functional Jurisprudence" An Alternative To Mainstream International Law. He Borrowed Ideas From Sigmund Freud Max Weber Roscoe Pound And Others. In 1940 Morgenthau Set Out A Research Program For Legal Functionalism In The Article "Positivism Functionalism And International Law". Francis Boyle Has Written That Morgenthau's Post-War Writings Perhaps Contributed To A "Break Between International Political Science And International Legal Studies." However Politics Among Nations Contains A Chapter On International Law And Morgenthau Remained An Active Contributor To The Subject Of The Relationship Between International Politics And International Law Until The End Of His Career. His Politics Among Nations First Published In 1948 Went Through Five Editions During His Lifetime And Was Widely Adopted As A Textbook In U.S. Universities. While Morgenthau Emphasized The Centrality Of Power And "The National Interest" The Subtitle Of Politics Among Nations-"The Struggle For Power And Peace"-Indicates His Concern Not Only With The Struggle For Power But Also With The Ways In Which It Is Limited By Ethical And Legal Norms. In Addition To His Books Morgenthau Wrote Widely About International Politics And U.S. Foreign Policy For General-Circulation Publications Such As The New Leader Commentary Worldview The New York Review Of Books And The New Republic. He Knew And Corresponded With Many Of The Leading Intellectuals And Writers Of His Era Such As Reinhold Niebuhr George F. Kennan Carl Schmitt And Hannah Arendt. Morgenthau Was A Consultant To The U.S. Department Of State When Kennan Headed Its Policy Planning Staff And During The Kennedy And Johnson Administrations Until He Was Dismissed By Johnson After He Began To Publicly Criticize American Policy In Vietnam. <br/> <br/> University Of Chicago Press hardcover

Mueller on first leaf dated April 24 1937 from the library of David G. Kohl 1946-2025 former art teacher at the Hong Kong International School musician artist and historian. A remarkable photo album with images shot by three different Lutheran Church Missouri Synod LCMS missionaries in China along with the descriptive contents list compiled by Rev. R.J. Mueller detailing the purpose and composition. He writes that the Enshih Shihnan Mission had prepared three albums “one for the Mission Board one for the Building Committee of General Conference and one at the Enshih Station. The numbers all agree. However not all pictures listed appear in all books.†This “Building Committee†album was intended to focus primary on the structures homes chapels of the mission as well as surrounding areas and was intended to aid in speeding up communications for fundraising and building affairs issues as correspondents could then merely refer to the master list of numbers held by all three parties. Enshih China was one of the final mission stations established by the LCMS far from their other missions and when Gebhardt returned to Enshih following the Civil War in 1928 there was significant damage to the mission structures to be repaired. Looting by bandits and marauding soldiers had caused over $ 2000 in damage but was encouraged to find that the Lutheran evangelist Shen had continued the mission chapel school orphanage. He would later be joined by Mueller and others although primarily composed of Chinese Staff. These photos in the album includes views of Mueller’s residence windows frames and gutters looted; screens torn doors boarded up as well as views of the native house and threshing floor adapted into an orphanage at Yao Wan after 1930. Several others show the extent of the protective walls built around the properties farm houses the gates as well as farms bridges and nearby fields at Enshih. Landmarks such as rocks shaped like Elephants in the river and Big and Little Hog creek below farmland. A very nice series of photos depict the Ts’i Ts-ung-fu funeral the blind deaf and other orphans about 1931 as well as textiles drying in the sun. Other photos capture the Ch’i-li-ping market fortune teller temple noodle stand and the T’ai shan shrine at Ch’i-li-p’ing. More photos depict Hu Ping-chih the orphanage secretary Yuen Ye-chih cashier in 1934 Hsieh T’i-ya seminary student who died later in 1937; along with the mission pulpit nearby streets and the rear view of the Yao Wan houses.Of additional interest are the images of the rugged roads to Liang Shui-chin the temple and steep steps drying opium in Kuan-p’e which was a small town between the East Gate and Yao Wan before opium raising was banned in 1934; along with the nearby Ch’ing-Ching Clear River at the high water stage the front of the True Light Chapel in 1934 as well as the gravestone of Mr. & Mrs. Wang Japanese-Lutherans who had died in 1930. The final photo No. 169 again shows the Clear River below the city. Mueller 1905-1998 graduated from seminary in 1929 and left for China with his wife Dorothy for the Evangelical Lutheran Foreign Mission Board returned briefly to the U.S. from 1937-1940 spent 1939-1942 teaching at a Lutheran seminary in China while being bombed by the Japanese and also served in Shanghai where he would supervise the Lutheran Hour and Lutheran Hour offices. Although he and his wife briefly returned to the United States in 1946 following World War II they subsequently served again in Shanghai China into the early years of Communist rule by Mao tse-tung before returning again to the U.S. See: David Kohl Lutherans on the Yangtze: A Hundred Year History of the Missouri Synod in China 2014 pp. 103 124 131 132 166 174 99-131.
