Kant'S Critique Of Hobbes - Sovereignty And Cosmopolitanism

de Howard Williams

~~44,86€~~ 40,37€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Leviathan (1651), Thomas Hobbes lays out the theoretical basis of the Westphalian interstate order dominant in European politics from the treaty of Westphalia in 1648 until the end of the Second World War in which sovereign, staunchly independent national states compete against each other for power and influence. For Hobbes the subjects of the successful state in this system must be thoroughly united under an absolutist sovereign. In opposition to Hobbes, Immanuel Kant develops a theory of international and cosmopolitan right, in which state sovereignty is matched by a gradually developing world federation of peaceful states. In this way, Kant opposes Hobbess materialist moral theory with a moral theory based on both self and the community. This study examines the relationship between the two thinkers, demonstrating the viable alternative to Hobbess orthodoxy found in Kants political writings; it also shows how Kant anticipates the development of a worldwide political order, and suggests that through Kants political philosophy the sovereignty of the people in
Tocqueville Between East And West

de Demin Duan

~~106,00€~~ 95,40€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book adopts an Eastern or Chinese perspective on Alexis de Tocqueville's political thought, highlighting the 'aristocratic' nature of his theory of freedom; and, as it does to, it takes the great traveller of nineteenth-century Europe to the East. What would that traveller see in China? What kind of freedom would be identified in Chinese social contexts? And how would Confucianism figure in today's politics? This book departs from the usual present-day distinction between democracy and authoritarianism, to analyse how 'equality of conditions' has affected both China and the West, albeit in different forms. It rejects the 'End of History' perspective as both false and dangerous, arguing in the Tocquevillian spirit that 'democracy', although inevitable for human societies, it is not an 'end' but rather a condition according to which we must adjust ourself in order to stay free, whether in the West or in the East.

Ethics Of Remote Warfare

de Lily Hamourtziadou

~~106,00€~~ 95,40€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Ethical approaches to war require that we don’t value only the lives of ‘our’ people, as Realism asserts; that we don’t enforce our sense of justice with weapons, as Militarism demands our ‘moral warriors’ do; that force is used only in self-defence, based on the principles of Just War Theory. However, can there be purely defensive or moral wars? This book offers unique insights into twenty-first century warfare through three approaches - Realism, Militarism, and Just war Theory - in the context of ‘precision’ weapons, celebrated for minimising risks to soldiers and civilians. The author questions whether the rapidly developing technology of lethal autonomous weapons is actually expanding an existing legal-ethical issue: the problem of civilian harm. Laws permits acts that cause incidental civilian harm; AI warfare puts the law’s accountability gap into sharper relief, highlighting the need for new accountability mechanisms that reflect a sense of legal and moral justice.

How Kant Matters For Biology - A Philosophical History

de Andrew Jones

99,38€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Kant denied biology the status of proper science, yet his account of the organism has received much attention from both philosophical and historical perspectives. This book argues that Kant’s influence on biology in the British Isles is in part due to misunderstandings of his philosophy. Highlighting these misunderstandings exposes how Kant influenced various aspects of scientific method, despite the underlying incompatibility between transcendental idealism and scientific naturalism. This book raises criticism against scientific naturalism as it demonstrates how some concepts that are central to biology have been historically justified in ways that are incompatible with naturalism. Approaching current issues in philosophy of biology from a Kantian orientation offers new perspectives to debates including our knowledge of laws of nature, the unity of science, and our understanding of organisms. Moreover, new avenues are forged to demonstrate the benefits of adopting Kant-inspired approaches to issues in contemporary philosophy of science.

Isaiah Berlin - A Kantian And Post-Idealist Thinker

de Robert A. Kocis

99,38€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Reacting against both the British Idealists and the logical positivists, Isaiah Berlin forged a new philosophy best described as post-Idealist. This philosophy was deeply informed by Kantian categories and methods, and conditioned by Vichian themes of historical and cultural variation. An advocate of pluralism without relativism, Berlin believed that it was possible to adopt and live by values, but he could not achieve moral certainty that our values are objectively preferable to all others. Like Collingwood and Oakeshott (and some neo-Kantians), Berlin believed that concepts matter and that they have a history; that human values are numerous and incommensurable; that rationalism in politics is dangerous; and that positivists’ hopes for rigorous social sciences are unrealistic. Interestingly, Collingwood and Oakeshott, both also candidates for post-Idealism, shared Berlin’s commitment to these themes. Ultimately, Berlin’s ‘Two Concepts of Liberty’ is perhaps best perceived as a critique of Bradley’s Ethical Studies.

Moral Standing Of The State In International Politics - A Kantian Account

de Milla Emilia Vaha

99,38€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Kant’s moral and political philosophy has been important in developing ethical thinking in international relations. This study argues that his theory of the state is crucially important for understanding the moral agency of the state as it is discussed in contemporary debates. For Kant, it is argued that the state has not only duties but also, controversially, inalienable rights that ground its relationship to its citizens and to other states. Most importantly, the state - regardless of its governmental form or factual behaviour - has a right to exist as a state. The Kantian account provided, therefore, explores not only the moral agency but also the moral standing of the state, examining the status of different kinds of states in world politics and expectations towards their ethical behaviour. Every state has a moral standing that must be respected in a morally imperfect world gradually transforming towards the ideal condition of perpetual peace.

Kant And The Theory And Practice Of International Right

de Georg Cavallar

52,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book argues that Kant’s theory of international relations should be interpreted as an attempt to apply the principles of reason to history in general, and in particular to political conditions of the late eighteenth century. It demonstrates how Kant attempts to mediate between a priori theory and practice, and how this works in the field of international law and international relations. Kant appreciates how the precepts of theory have to be tested against the facts, before the theory is enriched to deal with the complexities of their application. In the central chapters of this book, the starting points are apparent contradictions in Kant’s writings; assuming that Kant is a systematic and profound thinker, Cavallar seeks to use these contradictions to discover Kant’s ‘deep structure’, a dynamic and evolutionary theory that tries to anticipate a world where the idea of international justice might be more fully realized.

 Jürgen Habermas is arguably the worlds most influential living philosopher by introducing ideas such as the public sphere, constitutional patriotism, and the discourse theory of law and democracy, he has transformed modern political philosophy. But since 2001, Habermass thought has taken an unexpected turn. This book is the first full-length treatment of Habermass postsecular political philosophy, and critically analyses his new direction of thought. The author places the postsecular turn in the context of Habermass long-standing commitment to developing a postmetaphysical account of morality, politics and human communication; the tension between secular liberal democracy and religious freedom is real, but there may be losses as well as gains to Habermass quest to translate the sacred.
