Just Freedom: A Moral Compass for a Complex World
ISBN: 9780393063974 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Whereas many thinkers define freedom as the absence of interference--we are left alone to do as we please--Pettit demands that in their basic life choices free persons should not even be subject to a power of interference on the part of others. This notion of freedom as non-domination offers a yardstick for gauging social and democratic progress and provides a simple, unifying standard for analyzing our most entangled political quandaries. Pettit reaffirms the ideal, already present in the Roman Republic, of a free citizenry who enjoy equal status with one another, being individually...

The Common Mind: An Essay on Psychology, Society, and Politics
ISBN: 9780195106459 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What makes human beings intentional and thinking subjects? How does their intentionality and thought connect with their social nature and their communal experience? How do the answers to these questions shape the assumptions which it is legitimate to make in social explanation and political evaluation? These are the broad-ranging issues which Pettit addresses in this novel study. The Common Mind argues for an original way of marking off thinking subjects, in particular human beings, from other intentional systems, natural and artificial. It holds by the holistic view that human...

Made with Words: Hobbes on Language, Mind, and Politics
ISBN: 9780691143255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hobbes's extreme political views have commanded so much attention that they have eclipsed his work on language and mind, and on reasoning, personhood, and group formation. But this work is of immense interest in itself, as Philip Pettit shows in Made with Words, and it critically shapes Hobbes's political philosophy. Pettit argues that it was Hobbes, not later thinkers like Rousseau, who invented the invention of language thesis--the idea that language is a cultural innovation that transformed the human mind. The invention, in Hobbes's story, is a double-edged sword. It...

This is the first full-length presentation of a republican alternative to the liberal and communitarian theories that have dominated political philosophy in recent years.

The Robust Demands of the Good: Ethics with Attachment, Virtue, and Respect
ISBN: 9780198732600 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Philip Pettit offers a new insight into moral psychology. He shows that attachments such as love, and certain virtues such as honesty, require not only their characteristic positive behaviours in the actual world (i.e. as things are), but preservation of those characteristic behaviours across a range of counterfactual scenarios in which things are different from how they actually are. The counterfactual 'robustness', in this sense, of these behaviours is thus part of our very conception of these attachments and these virtues. Pettit shows that attachment, virtues, and respect all conform to a...

Theory of Freedom - From the Psychology to the Politics of Agency
ISBN: 9780745620930 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This innovative approach to freedom starts from an account of what we mean by describing someone, in a psychological vein, as a free subject. Pettit develops an argument as to what it is that makes someone free in that basic sense; and then goes on to derive the implications of the approach for issues of freedom in political theory. Freedom in the subject is equated with the person's being fit to be held responsible and to be authorized as a partner in interaction.
This book is unique among contemporary approaches - although it is true to the spirit of classical writers like Hobbes... This innovative approach to freedom starts from an account of what we mean by describing someone, in a psychological vein, as a free subject. Pettit d...

The Robust Demands of the Good: Ethics with Attachment, Virtue, and Respect
ISBN: 9780198801306 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Some goods that we generate for others, as when we give them attention or help or encouragement, require us to provide that benefit under the actual circumstances where we interact. Other goods that we generate require not just that we actually provide that sort of benefit but that we are also poised to provide it, even should actual circumstances change in various ways. These goods demand robust and not merely actual beneficence. Thus to give you friendship I must be robustly, not just accidentally, attentive to your needs; to give you a virtue like honesty I must be robustly disposed to...

The Economy of Esteem : An Essay on Civil and Political Society
ISBN: 9780199246489 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This groundbreaking book by two distinguished scholars from different disciplines begins by outlining the psychology of esteem and the way the working of that psychology can give rise to an economy. It then shows how a variety of social patterns that are otherwise anomalous come to make a lot of sense within an economics of esteem. And it looks, finally, at the ways in which the economy of esteem may be reshaped so as to make for an improvement -- by reference to received criteria -- in overall social outcomes. While making connections with older patterns of social theorising, it offers a...

Originally published in 1980, this book examines the major issues in the philosophy of social science, paying specific attention to cross-cultural understanding, humanism versus scientism, individualism versus collectivism, and the shaping of theory by evaluative commitment.
