Politics, Ethics and Culture in Our Time: A Post-Civilizational Perspective
ISBN: 9789004538160 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Global capitalism is effecting changes in human life as momentous as those that occurred during the Neolithic Revolution, the Axial Age (700-300 BC), and the modern era post-1500, when industrial capitalism, state power, and science reshaped the civilized world. The transformation is paradoxical, however. Science and technology ensure material progress but the market promotes cultural obsolescence and erodes belief in the Enlightenment ideals that inspired the quest for progress. In Western democracies, liberty and equality are proving irreconcilable, citizens becoming demoralized, fraternity...

In this path-breaking and controversial book, Harry Redner provides a systematic study of how the epistemologically interesting features of contemporary science are to be understood. Taking “science†to include knowledge from the social sciences and humanities as well as the physical sciences, Redner shows how the history of science, philosophical theory, and current scientific research reveal connections between scientific developments and features of the social organization of science. Redner argues that the shift from Classical science to a more complex and less orderly World science...

Beyond Civilization: Society, Culture, and the Individual in the Age of Globalization
ISBN: 9781412854856 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For Harry Redner, the phrase "beyond civilization" refers to the new and unprecedented condition the world is now entering--specifically, the condition commonly known as globalization. Redner approaches globalization from the perspective of history and seeks to interpret it in relation to previous key stages of human development. His account begins with the Axial Age (700-300 BC) and proceeds through Modernity (after AD 1500) to the present global condition. What is globalization doing to civilization? In answering this question, Redner studies the role played by capitalism, the...

ISBN: 9781412863018 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The century that began in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War was catastrophic.

In Europe the main agent of destruction was totalitarianism; in America it was globalization, ushered in by modernity; and in the non-Western world it was colonialism, followed later by totalitarianism and globalization. Harry Redner examines each of these processes, providing theoretical and historical accounts of... The century that began in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War was catastrophic.

The Triumph and Tragedy of the Intellectuals: Evil, Enlightenment, and Death
ISBN: 9781412864107 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This fourth instalment of Harry Redner's tetralogy on the history of civilization argues that intellectuals have a brilliant past, a dubious present, and possibly no future. He contends that the philosophers of the seventeenth century laid the ground for the intellectuals of the eighteenth century, the Age of Enlightenment. They, in turn, promoted a fundamental transformation of human consciousness: they literally intellectualized the world. The outcome was the disenchantment of the world in all its cultural dimensions: in art, religion, ethics, politics, and philosophy. In this...

This work is a critique of their ideas. Harry Redner establishes where and how they went wrong, in some cases with apocalyptic consequences for Europe and the world. The great intellectuals of the age, at once philosophers, sociologists, political theorists, historians and much else...
