Justice: Views from the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9781489935137 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ronald L. Cohen Justice is a central moral standard in social life. It is invoked in judging individual persons and in judging the basic structure of societies. It has been described as akin to a "human hunger or thirst" (Pascal, Pensees, cited in Hirschman, 1982, p. 91), "more powerful than any physical hunger, and endlessly resilient" (Pitkin, 1981, p. 349). The most prominent contemporary theory of justice proceeds from the claim that justice is "the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is systems of thought" (Rawls, 1971, p. 3). However, as the following chapters demonstrate,...

Pete Seeger Reader
ISBN: 9780199862016 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Perhaps the most widely recognized figure in folk music and one of the most well-known figures in American political activism, Pete Seeger now belongs among the icons of 20th-century American culture.
