Produktbeschreibung
Yves Simon was one of the preeminent Thomistic philosophers and political theorists of the twentieth century. He saw it as a moral duty to understand human reality and to use philosophical analysis to examine contemporary politics when they embodied philosophical errors or vicious ideologies. In The Ethiopian Campaign and French Political Thought, Simon extracts principles from the 1894 Dreyfus Affair in France and applies them to Italy's 1935 invasion of Ethopia. As Simon's analysis shows, the relatively obscure events leading up to the Italian invasion had larger implications for Europe and the world, perhaps even paving the way for Vichy France's collaboration with Hitler's German New Order.

Autorenporträt
Professor Yves R. Simon (1903-1961) was a renowned French Catholic political philosopher. At the Catholic University of Paris, Simon met Thomistic philosopher Jacques Maritain, who was on the university's faculty at the time. From Maritiain, Simon learned that philosophy is not a "mere cultural exercise" and should be taken seriously as a search for truth and wisdom-a lesson that Simon learned well. Simon was a teacher at several American universities, including the University of Notre Dame and the University of Chicago. He published numerous books and articles, many of which remain as classic pieces of political and social philosophy.
