Reason, Tradition, and the Good: MacIntyre\'s Tradition-Constituted Reason and Frankfurt School Critical Theory

Nicholas addresses the failure of reason in modernity to bring about a just society, a society in which people can attain fulfillment. Developing the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, Nicholas argues that we rely too heavily on a conception of rationality that is divorced from tradition and, therefore, incapable of judging ends.

Freedom of Information Law and Good Governance: The Curse of Corruption in Sierra Leone
ISBN: 9783030836603 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book argues that Sierra Leone’s ten-year civil conflict demonstrates the criticality of freedom of information (FOI) as a facet of good governance where corruption thrives, spanning both public and private sectors, if Sierra Leone’s continued security and stability are to be ensured. It argues that it was the absence of an anti-corruption tool like FOI and its attendants, transparency, and accountability, in governance generally, and in the area of the extractive industry in particular, that lead to other social phenomena which directly sparked the war. It proffers that for the... This book argues that Sierra Leone’s ten-year civil conflict demonstrates the criticality of freedom of information (FOI) as a facet of good gove... |
