Beyond Communication. A Critical Study Of Axel Honneth'S Social Philosophy

de Jean-Philippe Dr. Deranty

386,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Few thinkers have made such significant contribution to social and political thinking over the last three decades as Axel Honneth. His theory of recognition has rejuvenated the political vocabulary and allowed Critical Theory to move beyond Habermas. Beyond Communication is the first full-scale study of Honneth's work, covering the whole range of his writings, from his first sociological articles to the latest publications. By relocating the theory of recognition within the tradition of European social theory, the book exposes the full depth and breadth of Honneth's philosophical intervention. The book will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in contemporary philosophy and the social sciences.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is a critical exploration of the philosophical underpinnings and implications of Cornelius Castoriadis' reflections on Being, society and the self.

Creativity And Critique - Subjectivity And Agency In Touraine And Ricoeur

de Glenda Ballantyne

168,28€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Many commentators have noted the fertile new intellectual period Critique of Modernity opened up in the social theory of Alain Touraine, but until now its innovations have not been the subject of a sustained analysis. This work locates the wellsprings of Touraine's renewed interpretive power in an implicit and unfinished, but unmistakable 'hermeneutical turn.' To deepen and extend his potent but only partly developed insights, the second part of the book develops his hermeneutical premises more explicitly, through a dialogue with the hermeneutical philosophy of Paul Ricoeur. The outcome is a critical hermeneutics of the subject, which opens new possibilities for theorising human agency and social creativity, and renews the project of critical theory.

Justice: Deconstruction And Hermeneutics - Interviews With Contemporary Thinkers

de Sema Cevirici Atilla

~~185,50€~~ 166,95€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The pursuit of justice is an unending journey. It is the name of an impending promise that we always pray for, hope for, and sincerely desire but cannot quite see its fulfilment. Justice always encourages openness to the future and refuses to be confined to a particular definition. It occurs at different times with various demands and perspectives, and it cannot be reduced to a single definition and a single norm. This is precisely why this book consists of philosophical conversations that aim to expose the different faces of justice and to bring together the thoughts and concerns of thinkers talking about justice from different contexts. The interviews address issues such as God, ethics, otherness, anarchism, the refugee crisis, law, democracy and human rights in the framework of their relation to justice. The book is an invitation to everyone who wants to discuss the demands of justice in different contexts and witness the different faces of justice.

Stranger Cities: Australian Creation And The Ambidextrous Mind, A Profile Of Portal Modernity

de Peter Murphy

245,13€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Stranger Cities explores the metaphysics of Australian society and the clash between its competing strands of romantic culture and classic civilization. The social expression, artistic resonance, economic significance, civic character, historic phases, mythic representations, creative antinomies, and imaginative contribution of these metaphysical fundamentals form the background of Australia's distinctive urban civilization with its bustling stranger populations, ocean-facing portal cities, revealing art and architecture, and cyclical worlds of markets and industries, war and peace. Murphy portrays a classic eudemonic society whose dominant ethos of phlegmatic happiness vies with a subsidiary current of melancholic and choleric romanticism.

How Is Critical Economic Theory Possible?

de Gyorgy Bence, Gyorgy Markus e Janos Kis

265,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is a masterpiece of critical theory. It provides an illuminating and original meta-theoretical account of Marx's general views of critical economic theory. Sympathetic to the general aims of Marx, it also excavates the internal contradictions of the Marxian theory with unparalleled care. Written in Hungarian in the early 1970s, it was censored by the communist authorities immediately after its completion. Its belated publication in English signifies a major boon for research scholars in a range of disciplines, including philosophy, political economy, Marxism, intellectual history, and Eastern European studies.

To Understand What Is Happening. Essays On Historicity

196,10€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 History stands not only for a narrative or descriptive relation to the past, but also for an ongoing process in which we are involved on several levels: in ordinary life as well as in our epistemic endeavours, natural science and technology included. Historicity is thus not only an important question for historians, but for everyone interested in understanding what all our civilisation is about. The present volume sheds some light on different aspects of this ontological dependence. The first part deals with the historicity of understanding (Francoise Dastur, Arbogast Schmitt, Samuel Weber), the second with the limits of making (Emil Angehrn, Nicholas Davey, Jan-Ivar Linden) and the third with the future of memory (Jayne Svenungsson, Christoph Turcke, Bernhard Waldenfels).

Tragedy And Philosophy. A Parallel History

de Agnes Heller

159,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Completed shortly before her death in 2019, Tragedy and Philosophy is the sum of Agnes Heller's reflections on European history and culture, seen through the prism of Europe's two unique literary creations: tragedy and philosophy. Part 1 traces their parallel history from ancient Athens to rebirth in early modern London and Paris. Part 2 explores the interactions between post-metaphysical philosophy and post-tragic drama from the eighteenth through to the twentieth centuries. Heller's perspective is post-Hegelian: the story of European culture can only be told from its end, the generalization of modernity across the globe. In this sense Part 3 is Heller's farewell to the grand narrative of European history and culture as well as her own personal farewell to philosophy.

Ambiguity Of Justice: New Perspectives On Paul Ricoeur'S Approach To Justice

265,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Ambiguity of Justice offers a collection of essays on Ricoeur's thought on justice, and on the different views that influenced this thought, in particular those of Arendt, Honneth, Henaff, Rawls, Levinas and Boltanski. Although Ricoeur's idea of justice has undoubtedly caught much attention already, only a few monographs have been published so far that explicitly address this topic. The contributors of this book - a mix of both well-established Ricoeur scholars and young promising scholars in this field - address the difficulties in Ricoeur's thought on justice by maintaining his spirit of dialogue, not only by showing how Ricoeur himself repeatedly searches for dialogue in his writings on justice, but also by arguing that Ricoeur's thought allows contributions to contemporary debates about justice.

Budapest School - Beyond Marxism

de J.F. Dorahy

251,75€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Budapest School: Beyond Marxism represents the first systematic and comprehensive study of the post-Marxist writings of the Budapest School to be published in English. The School itself has long been known in English-speaking circles for its neo-Marxist critique of the now-defunct Soviet system. The Budapest School: Beyond Marxism enriches this understanding by situating the confrontation with 'actually existing socialism' as but one moment, however formative, within a much richer and much more theoretically relevant philosophical itinerary. From the early critique of alienation through to the contemporary critical theories of modernity, The Budapest School: Beyond Marxism charts the evolution of the School's thinking with a specific emphasis on the themes of culture, critique, history and the contingency of modern subjectivity.

Cynical Suspicions And Platonist Pretentions - A Critique Of Contemporary Political Theory

de John Mcguire

251,75€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Cynical Suspicions and Platonist Pretensions, John McGuire offers a critique of recent trends in contemporary political theory, specifically concerning the 'dangers' of cynicism and the contamination of public reason. In the view of many theorists and pundits, cynicism remains one of the gravest ills to befall any democratic society, injecting a virulent estrangement which leaves sufferers unable to trust elected representatives and unwilling to participate in collective action. Starting with a reconstruction of the performative and rhetorical tactics of the 'first' Cynic, Diogenes of Sinope (c. 323 BCE), John McGuire aims to demonstrate how cynicism's non-defeatist, relentlessly sceptical ethos provides an important counterweight to the self-aggrandising designs of moralists and policymakers alike.

Jefferson'S Political Philosophy And The Metaphysics Of Utopia

de M. Andrew Holowchak

213,33€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Jefferson's Political Philosophy and the Metaphysics of Utopia, M. Andrew Holowchak traces the development of Jeffersonian republicanism as a political philosophy, though it is today seldom seen as a political philosophy, by examining the documents he wrote (e.g., Declaration, First Inaugural Address, and significant letters) and key literature he read. That political philosophy, fundamentally progressive and people-first, was driven by a vision of an "empire of liberty"-a global confederation of republican nations in moral and political partnership and peaceful coexistence-and was to take root in North America. Jefferson's vision influenced his domestic and foreign policies as president and the numerous letters he wrote after his presidency, but never took root there, or anywhere. Was that due to a defect of vision-a view of humans' capacities and goodness at odds with reality-or were historical forces at play which were antagonistic to the rooting and suckering of Jeffersonian republicanism?

Friendship

de Francesco Alberoni

186,83€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Friendship, Francesco Alberoni offers a wide-ranging analysis of intimacy. Traversing disciplines, he untangles the meanings of friendship from family and friendly relations, from love and passion and the everyday experiences of coupledom. Friendship is the just relationship. Rather than based on exchange, it is an encounter between two intimates that repudiates the logics of the market, the depersonalizing norms of modern bureaucracy and the objectives of collectivities whether they be couples or social movements. Intimate and just, friendship partakes of the world while resisting its dehumanizing drift. Marrying philosophical poetics with social science sensibility, Alberoni shows that the extent to which we live up to the ideals of friendship marks our capacities to realize the republican virtues in concrete everyday life.

Socioaesthetics - Ambience - Imaginary

226,58€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Aesthetics is no longer the preserve of art historians and philosophers of art. Changes in society, culture, economy, urban dynamics and everyday life, push us towards considering the aesthetic components of traditionally non-aesthetic domains. Today it is not only legitimate but necessary to query the relationship between the social as a cohesive and encompassing form of community and human institutions and the aesthetic, that is the sensual, sensory, or, perhaps better, the sensible. Increasingly the social seems to emerge from the sensible and sentient meaning of objects. The volume SocioAesthetics: Ambience - Imaginary collects scholars from social science, aesthetics, arts, and cultural studies in case-driven debate, ranging from biometrics to luxury commodities, on how a new alignment of aesthetics and the social is possible and what the possible prospects of this may be.

Camus, Philosophe - To Return To Our Beginnings

de Matthew Sharpe

331,25€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Camus, Philosophe: To Return to our Beginnings is the first book on Camus to read Camus in light of, and critical dialogue with, subsequent French and European philosophy. It argues that, while not an academic philosopher, Albert Camus was a philosophe in more profound senses looking back to classical precedents, and the engaged French lumieres of the 18th century. Aiming his essays and literary writings at the wider reading public, Camus' criticism of the forms of 'political theology' enshrined in fascist and Stalinist regimes singles him out markedly from more recent theological and messianic turns in French thought. His defense of classical thought, turning around the notions of natural beauty, a limit, and mesure makes him a singularly relevant figure given today's continuing debates about climate change, as well as the way forward for the post-Marxian Left.
