Harvey C. Mansfield, William R. Kenan, Jr.,
Professor of Government, studies and teaches political philosophy. He has
written on Edmund Burke and the nature of political parties, on Machiavelli
and the invention of indirect government, in defense of a defensible
liberalism and in favor of a Constitutional American political science. He
has also written on the discovery and development of the theory of executive
power, and has translated three books of Machiavelli’s and (with the
aid of his wife) Tocqueville's Democracy
in America. His book on manliness has just been published. He was
Chairman of the Government Department from 1973-1977, has held Guggenheim and
NEH Fellowships, and has been a Fellow at the National Humanities Center. He
won the Joseph R. Levenson award for his teaching at Harvard, received the
Sidney Hook Memorial award from the National Association of Scholars, and in
2004 accepted a National Humanities Medal from the President. He has hardly left Harvard since his
first arrival in 1949, and has been on the faculty since 1962.

By Harvey C. Mansfield Yale University Press ISBN: 0300106645 Editorial
Reviews "Mansfield argues that manliness-in
its combination of stubbornness and rationality-provides a ground for
political life. His work is a thoughtful attempt to move us to think more
clearly about who we are, and about the future of our liberal
society."-Mary Nichols, "Annoying at times (often!), but
never uninteresting, this book has much of importance to say."-Arlene
Saxonhouse, University of Michigan "A work of thought as well as a
provocation, Manliness deserves to be widely read, argued over,
and pondered."- David Bromwich, Buy
