Throughout history, humans have always indulged in certain irrationalities and held some fairly wrong-headed beliefs. But in his newest book, philosopher Lee McIntyre shows how we've now reached a watershed moment for ignorance in the modern era, due to the volume of misinformation, the speed with which it can be digitally disseminated, and the savvy exploitation of our cognitive weaknesses by those who wish to advance their ideological agendas. In Respecting Truth: Willful Ignorance in the Internet Age, McIntyre issues a call to fight back against this slide into the witless abyss....

Beide Disziplinen setzen dabei auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen an. Das Zusammenspiel zwischen individuellen Perspektiven, Interaktionen im Hier und Jetzt sowie gemeinsamen Welten, die unser Leben uberdauern, wird oft durch Sprache erklart. Der Gebrauch von Sprache...

This book explores the economic institutions that determine the nature of animal lives as systematically exploited objects traded in a market economy. It examines human roles and choice in the system, including the economic logic of agriculture, experimentation, and animal ownership, and analyses the marginalization of ethical action in the economic system.

Animals and the Economy demonstrates that individual consumers and farmers are often left with few truly animal-friendly choices. Ethical participants in the economy must either face down an array of institutional...

Hence, they profoundly affect research practices in multiple ways. While consequences concerning the...
