Thucydides on Politics: Back to the Present
ISBN: 9781107612006 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thucydides famously declared his work to be 'a possession for all time', and so it has proved to be, as each age and generation has seen new things to admire in it and take from it. In the last hundred years, Thucydides has been interpreted and invoked in support of many different positions in politics, political theory and international relations. Geoffrey Hawthorn offers a new and highly original reading, one that sees him as neither simply an ancestor nor a colleague but as an unsurpassed guide to a deeper realism about politics. In this account, Thucydides emerges as sensitive to the...

Population and Development: High and Low Fertility in Poorer Countries
ISBN: 9781138880818 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1978, this book explores the vital global issue of high and low fertility in poorer countries through a series of case studies by contemporary experts in the fields of development and demography. These studies examine such issues as: the relations between fertility rates and income distributions in poor societies; the question of whether or not neo-classical macro-economics are sufficient to understand and to try to engineer relations between economies and populations; and the specifics of the relations between fertility and a variety of socio-economic factors in both...

Plausible Worlds: Possibility and Understanding in History and the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9780521457767 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Possibilities haunt history. The force of our explanations of events turns on the alternative possibilities those explanations suggest. It is these possible worlds that give us our understanding; and in human affairs, we decide them by practical rather than theoretical judgment. In this widely acclaimed account of the role of counterfactuals in explanation, Geoffrey Hawthorn deploys extended examples to defend his argument. His conclusions cast doubt on existing assumptions about the nature and place of theory, and indeed of the possibility of knowledge itself, in the human sciences.

Enlightenment and Despair: A History of Social Theory
ISBN: 9780521337212 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Geoffrey Hawthorn has written a substantial conclusion for the second edition of his widely acclaimed critical history of social theory in England, France, Germany and the USA from the eighteenth century onwards. Hawthorn begins with the 'prehistory' of the subject and traces, particularly in the thought of Rousseau, Kant and Hegel, the emergence of certain fundamental distinctions and assumptions whose existence is often overlooked in studies of the traditional 'founding-fathers' of sociology like Marx, Durkheim and Weber.

The Standard of Living
ISBN: 9780521368407 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Amartya Sen argues that "the standard of living" has been poorly understood and narrowly defined; it is not just a function of opulence, and cannot be seen as utility. It is, he suggests, the "capabilities" offered in states of affairs. In his comments, Bernard Williams considers the conceptual connections among Sen's capabilities, economic welfare, and the broader notion of "well-being," and asks whether the notion raises questions of justice. Ravi Kanbur considers the implications of the uncertainty in the choice that might be thought to be one desirable capability. John Muellbauer offers a...

The Principles of Representative Government
ISBN: 9780521458917 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The thesis of this original and provocative book is that representative government should be understood as a combination of democratic and undemocratic elements. Challenging the conventionally held views on the subject, Professor Manin reminds us that while today representative institutions and democracy appear as virtually indistinguishable, when representative government was first established in Europe and America, it was designed in opposition to democracy proper. The author identifies the essential features of democratic institutions and reviews the history of their application.

Tokugawa Political Writings
ISBN: 9780521567176 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The modern political consciousness of Japan cannot be understood without reference to the history of the Tokugawa period, the era between 1600 and 1868 that preceded Japan's modern transformation. In this volume Tetsuo Najita introduces the ideas of the leading political thinker of the period, Ogyu Sorai (1666-1728), providing an important insight into the history and politics of contemporary Japan. Sorai's texts are accompanied by a chronology of his life, a glossary, a guide to persons mentioned in the text, and a guide to further reading, as well as Professor Najita's introduction, which...

Demystifying Mentalities
ISBN: 9780521366809 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. If faraway peoples have different ideas from our own, is this because they have different mentalities? Did our remote ancestors lack logic? The notion of distinct mentalities has been used extensively by historians to describe and explain cultural diversity. Professor Lloyd rejects this psychologising talk of mentalities and proposes an alternative approach, which takes as its starting point the social contexts of communication. Discussing apparently irrational beliefs and behaviour (such as magic), he shows how different forms of thought coexist in a single culture but within conventionally...
