Social Darwinism
ISBN: 9780335202188 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 141 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Social Darwinism is the extension of Darwin's evolutionary ideas to human society. Over the past two centuries it has been argued that the fittest in terms of physical and mental prowess are most likely to survive and reproduce. It has also been suggested that the increasingly complex structure of human society mirrors the increasing complexity of nature. This highly original text examines whether these extensions from nature to society are justified, and considers how dangerous they may be in implying the systematic neglect - or even destruction - of the least fit. It asks what, in any case,...

Reconstructing Nature: Alienation, Emancipation and the Division of Labour
ISBN: 9780415089227 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the main features of the contemporary environmental crisis is that no one has a clear idea of what is going on. The author uses an extension of Marx's theory of alienation to explain why people find it so difficult to relate their different knowledges of the natural and social world.
He argues that nevertheless it is possible to relate these to the abstractions of ecological discourse. Emancipation can come only through embracing science and rationality rather than rejecting them and, in the process, humanity as well as the non-human world will benefit. One of the main features of the contemporary environmental crisis is that no one has a clear idea of what is going on. The author uses an extension of...

First, there is no evidence that owners of capital are attempting to extract ‘rare’ materials in the cosmos. The costs would be ‘out of this world’. But capital, not...
