Pragmatism, Feminism, and Democracy: Rethinking the Politics of American History
ISBN: 9780415930307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. At the turn of the century, a battery of new intellectual and cultural currents came together to reorient society - Progressivism, Pragmatism, feminism, labour activism, and consumer culture. In this work, Livingston reads philosophers like John Dewey alongside activists like Jane Addams and finds in their ideas a similar and novel sense of the individual's place in the world. By drawing new connections between these developments, Livingston re-channels discussion on the coming of modernity.

The World Turned Inside Out: American Thought and Culture at the End of the 20th Century
ISBN: 9780742535428 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The World Turned Inside Out explores American thought and culture in the formative moment of the late twentieth century in the aftermath of the fabled Sixties. The overall argument here is that the tendencies and sensibilities we associate with that earlier moment of upheaval decisively shaped intellectual agendas and cultural practices--from the all-volunteer Army to the cartoon politics of Disney movies--in the 1980s and 90s. By this accounting, the so-called Reagan Revolution was not only, or even mainly, a conservative event. By the same accounting, the Left, having seized the commanding...

Religious Thought in the Victorian Age: Challenges and Reconceptions
ISBN: 9780567026460 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The central purpose of this book is to offer an account of crucial intellectual challenges to traditional British theology, challenges that provoked wide-ranging discussions and decisively shaped British theology. In several instances, they resulted in rather fundamental reconceptions of traditional doctrine and belief. Not all of the conclusions reached in these debates proved enduring, and some efforts to accomodate theology to advances in the sciences proved spurious or unnecessary. Yet even the ill-fated forays and speculations were efforts to respond to new, genuine questions that...

No More Work: Why Full Employment Is a Bad Idea
ISBN: 9781469630656 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For centuries we've believed that work was where you learned discipline, initiative, honesty, self-reliance--in a word, character. A job was also, and not incidentally, the source of your income: if you didn't work, you didn't eat, or else you were stealing from someone. If only you worked hard, you could earn your way and maybe even make something of yourself.
In recent decades, through everyday experience, these beliefs have proven spectacularly false. In this book, James Livingston explains how and why Americans still cling to work as a solution rather than a problem--why it is...

Pragmatism and the Political Economy of Cultural Revolution, 1850�1940
ISBN: 9780807846643 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The rise of corporate capitalism was a cultural revolution as well as an economic event, according to James Livingston. That revolution resides, he argues, in the fundamental reconstruction of selfhood, or subjectivity, that attends the advent of an 'age of surplus' under corporate auspices. From this standpoint, consumer culture represents a transition to a society in which identities as well as incomes are not necessarily derived from the possession of productive labor or property. From the same standpoint, pragmatism and literary naturalism become ways of accommodating the new forms of...

In a way that will delight and instruct even the nonmathematical among us, James Livingston shows us how scientists today are creating magnets and superconductors that can levitate...
