With God on Our Side: Religion, Social Movements, and Social Change
ISBN: 9783111235363 / Angielski / Twarda / 2024 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Religion plays a central role in a variety of social movements, including many that are not explicitly faith-based. This book provides the first systematic analysis of the ways religion contributes to diverse movements for social change. It draws on a variety of case studies, from the US and globally, to build an argument about religion’s distinctive capacity to provide logistical support, to inspire and legitimize activist practices, to connect different spatial scales, and to link big ideas to everyday experiences. The book’s analysis rests on three foundational arguments.... Religion plays a central role in a variety of social movements, including many that are not explicitly faith-based.

Seeds of the Kingdom: Utopian Communities in the Americas
ISBN: 9780195183337 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In these skeptical and disillusioned times, there are still groups of people scattered throughout the world who are trying to live out utopian dreams. These communities challenge the inevitability and morality of dominant political and economic models. By putting utopian religious ethics into practice, they attest to the real possibility of social alternatives. In Seeds of the Kingdom, Anna L. Peterson reflects on the experiences of two very different communities, one inhabited by impoverished former refugees in the mountains of El Salvador and the other by Amish farmers in the...

Everyday Ethics and Social Change: The Education of Desire
ISBN: 9780231148726 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Americans increasingly cite moral values as a factor in how they vote, but when we define morality simply in terms of a voter's position on gay marriage and abortion, we lose sight of the ethical decisions that guide our everyday lives. In our encounters with friends, family members, nature, and nonhuman creatures, we practice a nonutilitarian morality that makes sacrifice a rational and reasonable choice. Recognizing these everyday ethics, Anna L. Peterson argues, helps us move past the seemingly irreconcilable conflicts of culture and refocus on issues that affect real social change....

Being Animal: Beasts and Boundaries in Nature Ethics
ISBN: 9780231162265 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For most people, animals are the most significant aspects of the nonhuman world. They symbolize nature in our imaginations, in popular media and culture, and in campaigns to preserve wilderness, yet scholars habitually treat animals and the environment as mutually exclusive objects of concern. Conducting the first examination of animals' place in popular and scholarly thinking about nature, Anna L. Peterson builds a nature ethic that conceives of nonhuman animals as active subjects who are simultaneously parts of both nature and human society. Peterson explores the tensions between humans...

Being Human: Ethics, Environment, and Our Place in the World
ISBN: 9780520226555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Being Human examines the complex connections among conceptions of human nature, attitudes toward non-human nature, and ethics. Anna Peterson proposes an "ethical anthropology" that examines how ideas of nature and humanity are bound together in ways that shape the very foundations of cultures. Peterson discusses mainstream Western understandings of what it means to be human, as well as alternatives to these perspectives, and suggests that the construction of a compelling, coherent environmental ethics will revise our ideas not only about nature but also about what it means to be...
