Rationality and Commitment
ISBN: 9780199287260 / Angielski / Twarda / 377 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Rational choice theory forms the core of the economic approach to human behaviour. It is also the most influential philosophical account of practical rationality. Yet there are persistent controversies about the scope of rational choice theory in philosophy and, increasingly, in economics as well. A leading critic is the philosopher and Nobel Laureate economist Amartya Sen, who put forward a trenchant critique of rational choice theory in his seminal paper 'Rational Fools'. Sen emphasizes the importance of commitment - those aspects of human behavior which dispose individuals to co-operate,...

Identity and Violence : The Illusion of Destiny
ISBN: 9780393329292 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.

Conditions of Love: The Philosophy of Intimacy
ISBN: 9780393331738 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 'What is it to love another person?' This is to raise one of the deepest, and most puzzling, questions we can put to ourselves. Love is a central theme in the autobiography we each write as we try to understand our lives; but we may feel that we become only more confused the more we reflect upon it. Love is closely connected with our vision of happiness; yet there is no one we are more likely to hurt, or be hurt by, than the person we love. If love is something we all want, why is it so hard to find and harder to keep? Love is one of humanity's most persistent and most esteemed ideals, but it...

Race and Epistemologies of Ignorance
ISBN: 9780791471029 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Offering a wide variety of philosophical approaches to the neglected philosophical problem of ignorance, this groundbreaking collection builds on Charles Mills's claim that racism involves an inverted epistemology, an epistemology of ignorance. Contributors explore how different forms of ignorance linked to race are produced and sustained and what role they play in promoting racism and white privilege. They argue that the ignorance that underpins racism is not a simple gap in knowledge, the accidental result of an epistemological oversight. In the case of racial oppression, ignorance often is...

Foundations for a Sociology of the Everyday
ISBN: 9781844671922 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Henri Lefebvre's magnum opus: a monumental exploration of contemporary society.
Henri Lefebvre's three-volume "Critique of Everyday Life" is perhaps the richest, most prescient work by one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers. Written at the birth of post-war consumerism, the "Critique" was a philosophical inspiration for the 1968 student revolution in France and is considered to be the founding text of all that we know as cultural studies, as well as a major influence on the fields of contemporary philosophy, geography, sociology, architecture, political theory and urbanism....

Of Divine Warning: Disaster in a Modern Age
ISBN: 9781594515385 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. This book offers a theory of disaster in modern and contemporary society and its impact on the construction of social and political life. The theory is premised upon what the authors call "the sign continuum," where disaster spreads across society through efforts to evade social responsibility for its causes and consequences. Phenomena generated by such efforts include the social manifestation of monstrosity (disastrous people and other forms of living things) and an emerging antipolitics in an effort to assert rule and order. A crucial development is the attack on speech, a fundamental...

Sport Philosophy Now: The Culture of Sports After the Lance Armstrong Scandal
ISBN: 9781442260658 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. In today s media-driven world, it seems there is always a scandal in the news involving athletes. Whether it s performance-enhancing drugs in cycling, domestic violence in football, or sexual assault in college athletics, new problems pop up as soon as old issues disappear. As we struggle to understand and, hopefully, correct these problems, we face the difficult reality that the lines between fact and fiction are often blurred by the media, and sports governing bodies can be slow to make the necessary changes in their respective fields. In Sport Philosophy Now: The Culture of Sports after...

The Culture of Vengeance and the Fate of American Justice
ISBN: 9780521713863 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. America is driven by vengeance in Terry Aladjem s provocative account a reactive, public anger that is a threat to democratic justice itself. From the return of the death penalty to the wars on terror and in Iraq, Americans demand retribution and moral certainty; they assert the rights of victims and make pronouncements against evil. Yet for Aladjem this dangerously authoritarian turn has its origins in the tradition of liberal justice itself in theories of punishment that justify inflicting pain and in the punitive practices that result. Exploring vengeance as the defining problem of our...

The Multivoiced Body : Society and Communication in the Age of Diversity
ISBN: 9780231145008 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Ethnic cleansing and other methods of political and social exclusion continue to thrive in our globalized world, complicating the idea that unity and diversity can exist in the same society. When we emphasize unity, we sacrifice heterogeneity, yet when we stress diversity, we create a plurality of individuals connected only by tenuous circumstance. As long as we remain tethered to these binaries, as long as we are unable to imagine the sort of society we want in an age of diversity, we cannot achieve an enduring solution to conflicts that continue unabated despite our increasing proximity to...

How We Get Along
ISBN: 9780521888530 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. In How We Get Along, philosopher David Velleman compares our social interactions to the interactions among improvisational actors on stage. He argues that we play ourselves not artificially but authentically, by doing what would make sense coming from us as we really are. And like improvisational actors, we deal with one another in dual capacities: both as characters within the social drama and as players contributing to the shared performance. In this conception of social intercourse, Velleman finds rational grounds for morality, though not a rational guarantee. He maps a middle course...

Social conventions are those arbitrary rules and norms governing the countless behaviors all of us engage in every day without necessarily thinking about them, from shaking hands when greeting someone to driving on the right side of the road. In this book, Andrei Marmor offers a pathbreaking and comprehensive philosophical analysis of conventions and the roles they play in social life and practical reason, and in doing so challenges the dominant view of social conventions first laid out by David Lewis. Marmor begins by giving a general account of the nature of conventions,...

Global Poverty and Individual Responsibility
ISBN: 9780739122907 / Angielski / Twarda / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book considers what responsibilities affluent individuals have toward global poverty, given that global poverty is a problem with structural, political causes, and one that generally requires collective action. By looking at the intersection of moral, political, and legal philosophy, this book gives a pluralistic and differentiated account of individual duties based on a person's moral agency, her roles within collective groups (including her occupational and civic roles), and her institutional identities as citizen and consumer.

Environmentalism in Popular Culture : Gender, Race, Sexuality, and the Politics of the Natural
ISBN: 9780816525812 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. In this thoughtful and highly readable book, Noel Sturgeon illustrates the myriad and insidious ways in which American popular culture depicts social inequities as "natural" and how our images of "nature" interfere with creating solutions to environmental problems that are just and fair for all. Why is it, she wonders, that environmentalist messages in popular culture so often "naturalize" themes of heroic male violence, suburban nuclear family structures, and U.S. dominance in the world? And what do these patterns of thought mean for how we envision environmental solutions, like "green"...
