Idolatry Of The Actual - Habermas, Socialization, And The Possibility Of Autonomy

de David A. Borman

51,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Reinvigorates Jürgen Habermas'' early critical theory.The first close study of Jürgen Habermas''s theory of socialization, a central but infrequently discussed component of his defense of deliberative democracy, The Idolatry of the Actual charts its increasingly uneasy relationship with the later development of Habermas''s social theory. In particular, David A. Borman argues that Habermas''s account of the development of the subject and of the conditions under which autonomy can be realized is fundamentally at odds with the increasingly liberal tenor of his social theory. This leads Borman to return to the set of concerns that guided Habermas''s social theory in the early 1970s, paying particular attention to questions of crisis and the means by which public reactions are shaped-questions perhaps more relevant today than they have been at any time since the 1930s. Using Habermas''s early work as a framework, Borman constructs an original critical-theoretical argument that draws on research in the sociology of schooling to understand how attitudes toward work, reward, achievement, class, gender, and race are shaped in economically functional ways, and draws on philosophical and empirical scholarship to demonstrate the challenges of multicultural integration and the impact of both on the potential for progressive social transformation.

Karl Popper And The Social Sciences

de William A. Gorton

34,52€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The first systematic treatment of Karl Popper's contribution to the philosophy of the social sciences.This is the first book-length exploration of Karl Popper's often-neglected contributions to the philosophy of social science. William A. Gorton situates Popper's ideas on social inquiry within the broader framework of his thought, including his philosophy of natural science, his ontological theories, and his political thought. Gorton places special attention on Popper's theory of situational analysis and how it aims to heighten our understanding of the social world by untangling the complex web of human interaction that produces unintended-and often unwanted-social phenomena. Situational analysis, Gorton contends, involves a significant departure from the method of the natural sciences, despite Popper's plea for the unity of scientific method. Gorton also addresses some common misconceptions concerning Popper's stance toward economics and Marxism, making the provocative claim that contemporary analytical Marxism provides the best current example of Popperian social science put into practice.

Kindness And The Good Society - Connections Of The Heart

de William S. Hamrick

32,60€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A comprehensive account of human kindness.Winner of the 2004 Edward Goodwin Ballard Book Prize in Phenomenology presented by the Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology with interest from a fund raised from Professor Ballard's family, students, and friends Kindness and the Good Society utilizes phenomenology and a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional sources to provide the first comprehensive account of kindness in any genre of philosophy. Remarkably rich in descriptive detail and drawing upon a wide range of examples, including literary sources, current affairs, and traditional philosophical texts, Hamrick's book rescues kindness from the purposeful neglect of deontological and utilitarian ethical theories. Beginning with an account of the personal and social areas of ethical and moral comportment, Hamrick addresses what is not intuitively obvious about kindness and its opposite, details a critical kindness that avoids both naiveté as well as popular cynicism, and guides us toward a new notion of aesthetic humanism.

de Don Ihde

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Maps the future of phenomenological thought, accounting for how technology expands our means of experiencing the world.A revised form of phenomenology, postphenomenology aims to overcome the limitations of subjectivism and its largely dystopian stance toward science and technology.

Tracing the modern history of phenomenology, pragmatism, and philosophy of science, Don Ihde proposes a reframing of phenomenology to better suit today's contemporary world. An excellent overview of the recent history of the philosophy of science, Postphenomenology and Technoscience revitalizes conceptual frameworks that still have much to offer.

de Peyman Vahabzadeh

35,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Analyzes new social movements and their ramifications for social and political theory.By reexamining the very foundations of everyday acting and thinking and stepping into the open expanse of a possible transition to a postmodern era, this book presents a radical phenomenological approach to the study of contemporary social movements. It offers a theory of acting that refuses to surrender to norms and legislations and thus always intimates a mode of thinking that challenges various manifestations of ultimacy. Vahabzadeh invites us to radically rethink many basic principles that inform our lives, such as the democratic discourse, the concept of rights, liberal democratic regimes, time and epochs, oppression, acting, and the practice of sociology, in an effort to instate a reworked concept of experience in theories about social movements.

Between Reason And History - Habermas And The Idea Of Progress

de David S. Owen

35,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The first book-length treatment in English of Habermas's theory of social evolution and progress.Between Reason and History examines the role of the idea of progress both in Jurgen Habermas's critical social theory and in critical social theory in general. The reception to Habermas's magnum opus, The Theory of Communicative Action, has tended to downplay the theory of social evolution it contains, but there are no in-depth examinations of this aspect of Habermas's critical theory. This book fills this gap by providing a comprehensive and detailed examination of Habermas's theory of social evolution, its significance within the wider scope of his critical social theory, and the importance of a theoretical understanding of history for any adequate critical social theory.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Leading scholars address Paul Ricoeur's last major work, Oneself as Another.This collection of essays by internationally known Paul Ricoeur experts explores the noted philosopher's book, Oneself as Another.

The contributors also offer detailed examinations of Ricoeur's ethical theory and its ontological implications.

Marx And Whitehead - Process, Dialectics, And The Critique Of Capitalism

de Anne Fairchild Pomeroy

35,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A reading of Marx's critique of capitalism through the lens of process philosophy.Marx and Whitehead boldly asks us to reconsider capitalism, not merely as an "economic system" but as a fundamentally self-destructive mode that, by its very nature and operation, undermines the cohesive fabric of human existence. Author Anne Fairchild Pomeroy asserts that it is impossible to appreciate fully the impact of Marx's critique of capitalism without understanding the philosophical system that underlies it. Alfred North Whitehead's work is used to forge a systematic link between process philosophy and dialectical materialism via the category of production. Whitehead's process thought brings Marx's philosophical vision into sharper focus. This union provides the grounds for Pomeroy's claim that the heart of Marx's critique of capitalism is fundamentally ontological, and that therefore the necessary condition for genuine human flourishing lies in overcoming the capitalist form of social relations.

The Active Life - Miller'S Metaphysics Of Democracy

de Michael J. Mcgandy

35,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A sustained reflection on philosopher John William Miller and the metaphysical presuppositions and implications of democracy.The ancient antagonism between the active and the contemplative lives is taken up in this innovative and wide-ranging examination of John William Miller's effort to forge a metaphysics of democracy. The Active Life sheds new light on Miller's actualist philosophy-its scope, its systematic character, and its dialectical form. Michael J. McGandy persuasively sets Miller's actualism in the context of Hannah Arendt's understanding of the active life and skillfully presents actualism as a response to Whitman's challenge to craft a democratic form of metaphysics. McGandy concludes that Miller reveals how the philosophical and the political are inextricably connected, how there is no active life without the contemplative life, and that the contemplative life is founded in the active life.
