Pozycja Catholicism in The United States: Between liberalism and conservatism(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2011) Allitt, Patrick"Harvey Mansfield has always taken the long view. As he sees it, the way to approach an American topic is to ask first what the Founding Fathers said about it, then see what Tocqueville added. In the same way, his approach to any European issue starts out with a word from Plato and Aristotle, then moves along through Augustine and Aquinas to the opinions of Machiavelli and Edmund Burke. In this sense he’s just like the Catholic Church, which has always specialized in taking the long view, while trying to avoid being paralyzed by the weight of tradition. Taking the long view means being aware of oneself as part of an extended historical process, of being indebted to the insights of earlier generations, without being blind to those generations’ limitations. It usually guards against provincialism of time and place steers us away from utopianism, while helping us to see sensible ways forward."(...)Pozycja Harvey Mansfield and virtue in the arid land of modern liberalism(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2009) Bryk, Andrzej"Harvey C. Mansfield is one of the most distinguished American political philosophers writing today, standing at the very center of a bitter debate over the ultimate meaning of political life in modernity, and here, arguably the most prominent conservative academic teaching in a major American university. Mansfield is usually described as a conservative, or in recent years as neoconservative, due to the prominence some of his alleged students achieved in the ranks of George W. Bush’s administration. But this is a very inadequate label, unless it is intended to mean, in general, that he is not a liberal in the contemporary use of the word in America, and that he has had many students who have achieved public prominence, also in the conservative ranks. Mansfield in a personal description of his thought concurs with being labeled as a conservative, using the equivocal understatement that “some people, with some reason, call [me] a conservative”. But whatever the merits and demerits of such a description, it seems too narrow, and thus woefully incomplete. Mansfield’s range of thought and writings is so wide, so versatile, and his presence as a public intellectual commenting on various aspects of contemporary cultural and political life so ubiquitous, that it would be difficult to compress his intellectual and public activities in such a way as to put on it a definite conservative identification. "(...)Pozycja Personal honor, national honor and international justice(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2009) Rabkin, Jeremy"Harvey Mansfield’s most recent book is about “manliness.” I want to talk about honor. Honor is, at least in some of its aspects, related to manliness, perhaps even a child of manliness, as Professor Mansfield indicates in his book. But honor operates more on the surface of political life. It is more insistent on being seen or recognized in public and it varies, according to the different “publics” of different eras or different political regimes."(...)
