Laws
ISBN: 9781517260446 / Angielski / Miękka / 558 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In other dialogues of Plato, as well as in the Republic, there are to be found parallels with the Laws. Such resemblances, as we might expect, occur chiefly (but not exclusively) in the dialogues which, on other grounds, we may suppose to be of later date. The punishment of evil is to be like evil men (Laws), as he says also in the Theaetetus. Compare again the dependence of tragedy and comedy on one another, of which he gives the reason in the Laws-'For serious things cannot be understood without laughable, nor opposites at all without opposites, if a man is really to have intelligence of...

Religious Convictions and Political Choice
ISBN: 9780195067798 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How far may Americans properly rely on their religious beliefs when they make and defend political decisions? For example, are ordinary citizens or legislators doing something wrong when they consciously allow their decisions respecting abortion laws to be determined by their religious views? Despite its intense contemporary relevance, the full dimensions of this issue have until now not been thoroughly examined. Religious Convictions and Political Choice represents the first attempt to fill this gap. Beginning with an account of the basic premises of our liberal democracy,...

Philosophy, Politics, Autonomy: Essays in Political Philosophy
ISBN: 9780195069631 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. These remarkable essays include Cornelius Castoriadis's latest contributions to philosophy, political and social theory, classical studies, development theory, cultural criticism, science, and ecology. Examining the "co-birth" in ancient Greece of philosophy and politics, Castoriadis shows how the Greeks' radical questioning of established ideas and institutions gave rise to the "project of autonomy." The "end of philosophy" proclaimed by Postmodernism would mean the end of this project. That end is now hastened by the lethal expansion of technoscience, the waning of political and social...

Inequality
ISBN: 9780195078602 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Equality has long been among the most potent of human ideals and it continues to play a prominent role in political argument. Views about equality inform much of the debate about wide-ranging issues such as racism, sexism, obligations to the poor or handicapped, relations between developed and developing countries, and the justification of competing political, economic, and ideological systems. Temkin begins his illuminating examination with a simple question: when is one situation worse than another regarding inequality? In exploring this question, a new approach to understanding inequality...

Free Public Reason : Making It Up As We Go
ISBN: 9780195097610 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Free Public Reason examines the idea of public justification, stressing its importance but also questioning the coherence of the concept itself. Although public justification is employed in the work of theorists such as John Rawls, Jeremy Waldron, Thomas Nagel, and others, it has received little attention on its own as a philosophical concept. In this book Fred D'Agostino shows that the concept is composed of various values, interests, and notions of the good, and that no ranking of these is possible. The notion of public justification itself is thus shown to be contestable. In...

Liberalism and Affirmative Obligation
ISBN: 9780195115284 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The scope of affirmative obligation is a point of contention among liberals. Some see affirmative obligations required by social justice as incompatible with a strong commitment to individual freedom. The task before the moderate liberal is then to consider what a consistently liberal view of affirmative obligation would have to be in order to accommodate liberal commitments to freedom and justice and also account for long-standing institutions that are central to liberal democratic society. In this book, Patricia Smith argues that this can be achieved by reconstructing the liberal...

Democracy, Risk, and Community : Technological Hazards and the Evolution of Liberalism
ISBN: 9780195120080 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book presents a novel and compelling thesis about technological risk, liberalism, and policy making in liberal societies. Opposed to most theories of risk that focus on individual decision makers and models or rational choice, this book argues that risks must be seen as intrinsically both emergent and political phenomena. As such, risks resist reduction to individual actors, events, or decisions. To fully understand and make policy for risk, then, it is necessary to recognize that risks call attention to the connections between individuals and events, to the power being exercised in the...

John Rawls : His Life and Theory of Justice
ISBN: 9780195136371 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. John Rawls was one of the most important political philosophers of our time, and promises to be an enduring figure over the coming decades. His Theory of Justice (1971) has had a profound impact across philosophy, politics, law, and economics. Nonetheless Rawlsian theory is not easy to understand, particularly for beginners, and his writing can be dense and forbidding. Thomas Pogge's short introduction (originally published in German) gives a thorough and concise presentation of the main outlines of Rawls's theory, introduces biographical information when necessary, and draws links...

Reason, Freedom, and Democracy in Islam : Essential Writings of Abdolkarim Soroush
ISBN: 9780195158205 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Abdolkarim Soroush has emerged as one of the leading moderate revisionist thinkers of the Muslim world. He and his contemporaries in other Muslim countries are shaping what may become Islam's equivalent of the Christian Reformation: a period of questioning traditional practices and beliefs and, ultimately, of upheaval. Presenting eleven of his essays, this volume makes Soroush's thought readily available in English for the first time. The essays set forth his views on such matters as the freedom of Muslims to interpret the Qur'an, the inevitability of change in religion, the necessity of...

Another Cosmopolitanism
ISBN: 9780195183221 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In these two important lectures, distinguished political philosopher Seyla Benhabib argues that since the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, we have entered a phase of global civil society which is governed by cosmopolitan norms of universal justice--norms which are difficult for some to accept as legitimate since they are sometimes in conflict with democratic ideals. In her first lecture, Benhabib argues that this tension can never be fully resolved, but it can be mitigated through the renegotiation of the dual commitments to human rights and sovereign self-determination. Her second...

Women's Liberation and the Sublime : Feminism, Postmodernism, Environment
ISBN: 9780195187465 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The notion of citizenship is complex; it can be at once an identity; a set of rights, privileges, and responsibilities; an elevated and exclusionary status, a relationship between individual and state, and more. In recent decades citizenship has attracted interdisciplinary attention, particularly with the transnational growth of Western capitalism. Yet citizenship's relationship to gender has gone relatively unexplored--despite the globally pervasive denial of citizenship to women, historically and in many places, ongoing today. This highly interdisciplinary volume explores the political...

Justice and the Social Contract : Essays on Rawlsian Political Philosophy

John Rawls (1921-2002) was one of the 20th century's most important philosophers and continues to be among the most widely discussed of contemporary thinkers.
