Natural Kinds and Genesis: The Classification of Material Entities
ISBN: 9781498531412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Natural Kinds and Genesis: The Classification of Material Entities, Stewart Umphrey raises and answers two questions: What is it to be a natural kind? And are there in fact any natural kinds? First, using the everyday understanding of things, he argues that natural kinds may be understood as classes or as types, and that the members or tokens of such kinds are individual continuants. A continuant is essentially a being-in-becoming, a material thing which changes and yet remains the same, in virtue of its nature or essence, as long as it exists. In the primary sense of the term, then, a...

Complexity and Analysis
ISBN: 9780739103067 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Wherever we look, we notice complexity. Philosophically, the concept constitutes a tangled web of problems, in theory as well as daily life. Complexity and Analysis is a meticulous rendering of these problems, tackling the seldom considered nature of complexity that confronts ontological analysts and holists alike. Stewart Umphrey expertly describes the limits of analysis as they have come to light within mathematics, the natural sciences, and analytic philosophy, explaining how Aristotle came upon, and sought to move beyond, the limits of ontological analysis. In trying to understand any...

The Power of Community-Centered Education: Teaching as a Craft of Place
ISBN: 9781578866519 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. We face an epidemic of disengagement in American high schools as our institutions fail to offer meaningful and relevant ways to connect curriculum with students' emerging life stories. These students do not see how schooling, as it is presently constituted, is important to their own developing identities. One solution to this problem is to organize the curriculum around the concept of community and to link the study of abstract concepts and principles to their manifestations in the places that students know and care about (local history, shared traditions, civic pride, etc.). The Power of...

Law on the Screen
ISBN: 9780804751629 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The proliferation of images of law, legal processes, and officials on television and in film is a phenomenon of enormous significance. Mass-mediated images are as powerful, pervasive, and important as are other early twenty-first-century social forces--e.g. globalization, neo-colonialism, and human rights--in shaping and transforming legal life. Yet scholars have only recently begun to examine how law works in this new arena and to explore the consequences of the representation of law in the moving image. Law on the Screen advances our understanding of the connection between law and...

The Secrets of Law
ISBN: 9780804782593 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Secrets of Law explores the ways law both traffics in and regulates secrecy. Taking a close look at the opacity built into legal and governance processes, it explores the ways law produces zones of secrecy, the relation between secrecy and justice, and how we understand the inscrutability of law's processes. The first half of the work examines the role of secrecy in contemporary political and legal practices--including the question of transparency in democratic processes during the Bush Administration, the principle of public justice in England's response to the war on terror, and...

Law's Mistakes
ISBN: 9781625341938 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From false convictions to botched executions, from erroneous admission of evidence in a criminal trial to misunderstandings that arise in the process of creating contracts, law is awash in mistakes. These mistakes can be unintentional deviations from expected practices or the result of intentional actions that produce unintended negative consequences. They may become part of a process of response and correction or be accepted as an inevitable cost of action. Some mistakes are external to law itself, such as errors in an agreement made by two private parties. Others are made by legal actors...

Law and the Stranger
ISBN: 9780804771542 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Law calls communities into being and constitutes the "we" it governs. This act of defining produces an outside as well as an inside, a border whose crossing is guarded, maintaining the identity, coherence, and integrity of the space and people within. Those wishing to enter must negotiate a complex terrain of defensive mechanisms, expectations, assumptions, and legal proscriptions. Essentially, law enforces the boundary between inside and outside in both physical and epistemological ways. Law and the Stranger explores the ways law identifies and responds to strangers within and across...

Law and the Utopian Imagination
ISBN: 9780804790819 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Law and the Utopian Imagination seeks to explore and resuscitate the notion of utopianism within current legal discourse. The idea of utopia has fascinated the imaginations of important thinkers for ages. And yet--who writes seriously on the idea of utopia today? The mid-century critique appears to have carried the day, and a belief in the very possibility of utopian achievements appears to have flagged in the face of a world marked by political instability, social upheaval, and dreary market realities. Instead of mapping out the contours of a familiar terrain, this book seeks to...

Law's Madness
ISBN: 9780472031597 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Law "and madness? Madness, it seems, exists outside the law and, in principle, society struggles to keep these slippery terms separate. From this perspective, madness appears to be law's foil, the chaos that escapes law's control and simultaneously justifies its existence. Law's Madness explores the gray area between the realms of reason and madness.
The distinguished contributors to Law's Madness propose a fascinating interdisciplinary approach to the instability and mutual permeability of law and madness. Their essays examine a variety of discursive forms--from the literary to the... Law "and madness?

Law and War
ISBN: 9780804787420 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Law and War explores the cultural, historical, spatial, and theoretical dimensions of the relationship between law and war--a connection that has long vexed the jurisprudential imagination. Historically the term "war crime" struck some as redundant and others as oxymoronic: redundant because war itself is criminal; oxymoronic because war submits to no law. More recently, the remarkable trend toward the juridification of warfare has emerged, as law has sought to stretch its dominion over every aspect of the waging of armed struggle. No longer simply a tool for judging battlefield...

The Place of Law
ISBN: 9780472031580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It has long been standard practice in legal studies to identify the place of law within the social order. And yet, as The Place of Law suggests, the meaning of the concept of "the place of law" is not self-evident.
This book helps us see how the law defines territory and attempts to keep things in place; it shows how law can be, and is, used to create particular kinds of places -- differentiating, for example, individual property from public land. And it looks at place as a metaphor that organizes the way we see the world. This important new book urges us to ask about the usefulness of...
