Cultivating Humanity: A Classical Defense of Reform in Liberal Education
ISBN: 9780674179493 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How can higher education today create a community of critical thinkers and searchers for truth that transcends the boundaries of class, gender, and nation? Martha C. Nussbaum, philosopher and classicist, argues that contemporary curricular reform is already producing such "citizens of the world" in its advocacy of diverse forms of cross-cultural studies. Her vigorous defense of "the new education" is rooted in Seneca's ideal of the citizen who scrutinizes tradition critically and who respects the ability to reason wherever it is found--in rich or poor, native or foreigner, female or...

ISBN: 9780195112108 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What does it mean to respect the dignity of a human being? What sort of support do human capacities demand from the world, and how should we think about this support when we encounter differences of gender or sexuality? How should we think about each other across divisions that a legacy of injustice has created? In Sex and Social Justice, Martha Nussbaum delves into these questions and emerges with a distinctive conception of feminism that links feminist inquiry closely to the important progress that has been made during the past few decades in articulating theories of both national...

Women and Human Development: The Capabilities Approach
ISBN: 9780521003858 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Proposing a new kind of feminism that is genuinely international, Martha Nussbaum argues for an ethical underpinning to all thought about development planning and public policy, and dramatically moves beyond the abstractions of economists and philosophers to embed thought about justice in the concrete reality of the struggles of poor women. In this book, Nussbaum argues that international political and economic thought must be sensitive to gender difference as a problem of justice, and that feminist thought must begin to focus on the problems of women in the third world. Taking as her point...

Fatal Fictions: Crime and Investigation in Law and Literature
ISBN: 9780190610784 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Writers of fiction have always confronted topics of crime and punishment. This age-old fascination with crime on the part of both authors and readers is not surprising, given that criminal justice touches on so many political and psychological themes essential to literature, and comes equipped with a trial process that contains its own dramatic structure. This volume explores this profound and enduring literary engagement with crime, investigation, and criminal justice. The collected essays explore three themes that connect the world of law with that of fiction. First, defining and...

The Quality of Life
ISBN: 9780198287971 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The idea of the quality of life is central to economic and social assessment and also to public policy, social legislation, and community programs. However, the commonly used indicators of economic success such as per capita income are at best crude measures of the quality of life. There is a strong need for a systematic exploration of the content, reach, and relevance of the concept of the quality of life, and ways of making it concrete and usable. In this collection of essays, some leading economists and philosophers rise to that challenge and provide a wide-ranging investigation. The...
