Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Andrea Caffi: The New York Essays gathers, for the first time in one volume, the remarkable essays that the Russian-born Italian socialist Andrea Caffi (1887-1955) published in New York between 1945 and 1948. Written in the shadow of fascism, world war, and the emerging Cold War, these essays offer a powerful and original critique of violence, mass politics, nationalism, and totalitarianism.Appearing in influential journals such as politics, possibilities, and Instead, Caffi's work engages directly with leading figures of the New York intellectual milieu, including Dwight Macdonald and Nicola Chiaromonte. Across topics ranging from revolutionary war and mass culture to mythology, Marxism, and the fate of Europe, Caffi articulates a vision of socialism rooted not in state power or organized violence, but in sociability, morality, and the renewal of civic life.At once philosophical, historical, and urgently political, Caffi's essays challenge both liberal and Marxist orthodoxies. They speak to enduring questions about the relationship between means and ends, the dangers of ideological conformity, and the possibility of freedom in an age of mass society.With a substantial introduction by Mike Tyldesley and an afterword by Alberto Castelli situating Caffi's thought within twentieth-century antifascism and the critique of political violence, this volume restores to contemporary readers one of Europe's most subtle and neglected radical thinkers.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 220 pages. Published in 1970. Retrospective collection of philosophical and critical essays on subject. One of the greatest - yet still largely unknown - books of the 20th century. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. There is no ISBN. The First Edition is now rare. Presents, in its First Edition format, Andrea Caffi's "Critica della Violenza" in a felicitous English translation by Raymond Rosenthal. Brilliantly prefaced with a fifteen-page Introductory Essay by his close friend and colleague, Nicola Chiaromonte. The Essay appears in this edition only. A restless, peripatetic philosopher and committed scholar-as-activist who often participated in, not just witnessed and examined, some of the momentous historical events of the 20th century (the Russian Bolshevik Revolution, the First and Second World Wars), Andrea Caffi wrote prolifically yet published very little in his lifetime because he was perpetually and restlessly on the move. This collection of essays is his single most valuable book in English. His lifelong themes are "power-as-violence" and "power-against-violence". His insistent assertion is that the means to achieve power should be just as, if not even more, ethical, "admirable" (his favorite word), and non-violent than the end, the exercise of power itself. For Andrea Caffi, the end NEVER justifies the means, in contrast to Karl Marx. This is a breakthrough idea because, aside from Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt, almost ALL other political philosophers do find justification for violence at some critical point. Caffi analyzes so-called "revolutionaries" and "radicals" as roles that are misunderstood - and are glorified - in our time, making his seminal analysis all the more salient. Think only of the eternal, un-solvable Middle East Conflict that has pitted Israelis and Palestinians as violent, mortal enemies. Andrea Caffi critiques violence as ultimately the exact opposite of power. Now, power has predominantly been seen, and achieved, in our time as inseparable from violence. Caffi's philosophy is not idealistic at all; he disavows all idealisms and ideologies as barbarisms. On the contrary, his highly original analysis is firmly grounded in "lived experience" and pragmatism. He shows us how and why violence always fails to sustain power in the end - a difficult lesson that very few, if any, political leaders in history learn. "He was a friend of Camus, among others, and in this admirably translated book, moves at his intellectual level" (Publishers Weekly). Actually, he moves at a higher level than the often intellectually challenged French writer: He was the first "critic of ideas" of modern times. An absolute "must-have" title for Andrea Caffi collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and despite its imperfection (wear, some fading, and one blemish on the white DJ) is still in fine, unread condition: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. The red cloth boards are sharp, NOT bumped. The DJ is NOT price-clipped. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century. A near-fine copy. no.…
