Ethnosociology: The Foundations is
a systematic presentation of the main principles and analytic
strategies of the discipline of ethnosociology, written by Alexander
Dugin, one of the major Russian philosophers and political analysts
of the present day. Through study of the main sources and schools
that influenced the establishment of ethnosociology as an independent
and original scientific discipline, Alexander Dugin offers a profound
philosophical approach to the categories of the “ethnos,”
“narod,” “nation,” and “society” and elaborates a general
ethnosociological taxonomy.
Dugin’s work is distinguished by its strict consistency, a broad spectrum of
knowledge, and various methodologies of ethnosociological analysis,
brought together into a single, easily applicable system. While this
book can serve as a manual for specialists in the field of sociology,
philosophy, political science, cultural studies, ethnology,
international relations, state and law, it will also be of pertinent
interest to anyone who follows the latest groundbreaking developments
in the humanities, or who seeks to understand the structure of human
societies.

Alexander
Dugin’s Political Platonism
offers a seminal analysis of the contemporary philosophical
crisis from one of the best-known writers and political commentators
in post-Soviet Russia. Through a series of essays, course
transcripts, and a single long interview—each remarkable for the
depth of its learning and the boldness of its vision—Dugin exposes
the profoundest roots of the Western philosophical tradition,
offering his view of why it has reached its final terminus, and his
indication of where a new beginning must be sought.
The works collected in this volume
present Dugin’s theory of Political Platonism as a fundamental
philosophical and political orientation, capable at once of reviving
higher political and social forms and furnishing solid ground for
resistance to the collapse of the contemporary world. His
multi-perspective thesis offers a thorough and thought-provoking
critique of modernity and a masterful survey of Western philosophy,
reaching from before Heraclitus to beyond Heidegger. In its
provocative, clear-sighted analyses and its visionary flights, this
book provides an invaluable reference for those already familiar with
Dugin, and an intriguing introduction for those coming to him for the
first time.

By 1903, more than fifty years of peaceful campaigning had brought British women no closer to attaining the right to vote. In that year activist Emmeline Pankhurst founded the Women's Social and Political Union, a militant organization dedicated to achieving women's suffrage. The union's motto, "Deeds not words," reflected its radical approach, consisting of stone-throwing, window-breaking, arson, and physical confrontation with authorities.The Suffragette, written by Emmeline Pankhurst's daughter, Sylvia, offers an insider's perspective on the union's growth and development as well as the motives and ideals that inspired its leaders and followers. She chronicles the protesters' tactics as well as the consequences of their actions: arrests, imprisonment, hunger strikes, and the mental and physical ordeals of forced feeding. Vintage photographs illustrate the demonstrations, courtroom trials, and other dramatic incidents from the history of the women's militant...
