Although Western democracy created the conditions responsible for the rise of modern science, it is now evident that it may never fully profit from that achievement. The so-called \"democratic philosophy' ' of human behavior to which it also gave rise is increasingly in conflict with the application of the methods of science to human affairs. Unless this conflict is somehow resolved, the ultimate goals of democracy may be long deferred.","PeriodicalId":44462,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN SCHOLAR","volume":"49 1","pages":"57-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1955-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78136384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"American Foreign Policy","authors":"Norman M. Behr, C.

No area of public life has changed more dramatically or quickly than in the realm of foreign policy. Almost over night, the U.S. went from a policy of deterrence, which grew out of the Cold War, to a declared policy of “pre-emption.” Moreover, some analysts were even beginning to openly use the term “empire” and “empire building” to describe developments. As this semester begins, however, events have taken yet another sharp and disturbing turn, and talk of an “American empire” has died almost completely away. President Bush’s approval ratings have plummeted since his re-election in 2004, control of congress shifted in 2006 from the Republicans to the Democrats, and the next presidential race is shaping up as a free for all, in no small part because of a deteriorating situation in Iraq. While most attention is focused on Iraq, the U.S. faces equally significant challenges in many other parts of the world, not least in Afghanistan, Iran, and North Korea. In sum, the ups and downs of the Bush administration’s handling of foreign policy, especially because they have occurred so quickly, serve as a telling case study in the relationship of politics to foreign policy.","PeriodicalId":44462,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN SCHOLAR","volume":"389 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1950-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74956582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
