Social Class and State Power - Exploring an Alternative Radical Tradition (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): David M. Hart, Gary... Social Class and State Power - Exploring an Alternative Radical Tradition (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
David M. Hart, Gary Chartier, Ross Miller Kenyon, Roderick T Long
R3,642 Discovery Miles 36 420 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book explores the idea of social class in the liberal tradition. It collects classical and contemporary texts illustrating and examining the liberal origins of class analysis-often associated with Marxism but actually rooted in the work of liberal theorists. Liberal class analysis emphasizes the constitutive connection between state power and class position. Social Class and State Power documents the rich tradition of liberal class theory, its rediscovery in the twentieth century, and the possibilities it opens up for research in the new millenium.

An Ecological Theory of Free Expression (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Gary Chartier An Ecological Theory of Free Expression (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
Gary Chartier
R3,073 Discovery Miles 30 730 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book advances a comprehensive moral defense of freedom of expression-one with implications for law and policy, but also for the choices of individuals and non-governmental institutions. Gary Chartier seeks to ground expressive freedom in mutually supportive concerns related to themes including property, autonomy, flourishing, and discovery, while seeking to tightly cabin the range of potential injuries that might trigger legal liability for expressive activity. Chartier argues suggestively for an understanding of expressive freedom as rooted and realized in a complex set of social ecosystems that merit protection on multiple grounds and applies it provocatively to a range of contemporary issues.

R1,583 Discovery Miles 15 830 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This Handbook offers an authoritative, up-to-date introduction to the rich scholarly conversation about anarchy-about the possibility, dynamics, and appeal of social order without the state. Drawing on resources from philosophy, economics, law, history, politics, and religious studies, it is designed to deepen understanding of anarchy and the development of anarchist ideas at a time when those ideas have attracted increasing attention. The popular identification of anarchy with chaos makes sophisticated interpretations-which recognize anarchy as a kind of social order rather than an alternative to it-especially interesting. Strong, centralized governments have struggled to quell popular frustration even as doubts have continued to percolate about their legitimacy and long-term financial stability. Since the emergence of the modern state, concerns like these have driven scholars to wonder whether societies could flourish while abandoning monopolistic governance entirely. Standard treatments of political philosophy frequently assume the justifiability and desirability of states, focusing on such questions as, What is the best kind of state? and What laws and policies should states adopt?, without considering whether it is just or prudent for states to do anything at all. This Handbook encourages engagement with a provocative alternative that casts more conventional views in stark relief. Its 30 chapters, written specifically for this volume by an international team of leading scholars, are organized into four main parts: I. Concept and Significance II. Figures and Traditions III. Legitimacy and Order IV. Critique and Alternatives In addition, a comprehensive index makes the volume easy to navigate and an annotated bibliography points readers to the most promising avenues of future research.

The Logic of Commitment (Hardcover): Gary Chartier The Logic of Commitment (Hardcover)
Gary Chartier
R1,971 Discovery Miles 19 710 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book develops and defends a conception of commitment and explores its limits. Gary Chartier shows how commitment serves to resolve conflicts between ordinary moral intuitions and the reality that the basic aspects of human well-being are incommensurable. He outlines a variety of overlapping and mutually reinforcing rationales for making commitments, explores the relationship between commitment and vocation and the relevance of commitment to love, and notes some reasons why it might make sense to disregard one's commitments. The Logic of Commitment will appeal to ethicists interested in the connection between commitment and personal well-being, and to anyone who wonders why and when it might make sense to make or keep commitments.

Public Practice, Private Law - An Essay on Love, Marriage, and the State (Hardcover): Gary Chartier Public Practice, Private Law - An Essay on Love, Marriage, and the State (Hardcover)
Gary Chartier
R3,108 Discovery Miles 31 080 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Marriage is ordinarily a public practice, supported by, as well as supportive of, society. But it need not fall within the purview of the state. Public Practice, Private Law articulates a conception of marriage as a morally rich and important institution that ought to be subject to private rather than legislative or judicial ordering. It elaborates a robust understanding of marriage that captures what both different-sex and same-sex couples might see as valuable about their relationships. It explains why sexual ethics won't yield a normative model of marriage, and why the kind of marital love worth wanting, can. It goes on to show how an understanding of marriage as rooted in demanding commitments can allow for divorce before arguing that the state should cease to sponsor marriages. It concludes by suggesting that both state and non-state institutions should acknowledge the marriages of same-sex couples.

Anarchy and Legal Order - Law and Politics for a Stateless Society (Hardcover, New): Gary Chartier Anarchy and Legal Order - Law and Politics for a Stateless Society (Hardcover, New)
Gary Chartier
R3,410 Discovery Miles 34 100 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book elaborates and defends the idea of law without the state. Animated by a vision of peaceful, voluntary cooperation as a social ideal and building on a careful account of non-aggression, it features a clear explanation of why the state is illegitimate, dangerous, and unnecessary. It proposes an understanding of how law enforcement in a stateless society could be legitimate and what the optimal substance of law without the state might be, suggests ways in which a stateless legal order could foster the growth of a culture of freedom, and situates the project it elaborates in relation to leftist, anti-capitalist, and socialist traditions.

Christianity and the Nation-State - A Study in Political Theology (Hardcover): Gary Chartier Christianity and the Nation-State - A Study in Political Theology (Hardcover)
Gary Chartier
R2,561 Discovery Miles 25 610 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In Christianity and the Nation-State, Gary Chartier provocatively offers readers unexpected critical distance from some familiar ways of understanding, justifying, and navigating existing political arrangements. People in multiple societies are posing important questions about the authority and functions of the contemporary nation-state and about potential alternatives to this seemingly inescapable institution. Chartier seeks to develop a distinctive theological response to the conditions prompting these questions. Affirming liberalism and cosmopolitanism, he reflects critically on nationalism, localism, religious establishment, and theological accounts of political authority. He highlights links between sin and state power and underscores deficiencies in democratic rhetoric and theory. He rejects the idea of a global government, advocating a nonterritorial alternative he labels 'radical consociationalism. Moreover, he presents concrete suggestions for life under the rule of the state.

Flourishing Lives - Exploring Natural Law Liberalism (Paperback): Gary Chartier Flourishing Lives - Exploring Natural Law Liberalism (Paperback)
Gary Chartier
R831 Discovery Miles 8 310 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book elaborates, illuminates, and illustrates a confident and attractive account of social and political liberalism in light of a rich understanding of flourishing and fulfilment rooted in a version of natural law theory. Examining issues in ethics, law, and politics - including consumer responsibility, the assignment of grades by teachers, deception by lawyers, war and empire, and the use of victim-impact statements in parole decisions - Gary Chartier shows how natural law theory can effectively support pluralism, diversity, social equality, integrity, peace, and freedom.

Gary Chartier elaborates a particular version of economic justice rooted in the natural law tradition, explaining how it is relevant to economic issues and developing natural law accounts of property, work, and economic security. He examines a range of case studies related to ownership, production, distribution, and consumption, using natural law theory as a basis for staking positions on a number of contested issues related to economic life and highlighting the potentially progressive and emancipatory dimension of natural law theory.

Gary Chartier
R922 Discovery Miles 9 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book offers an overview of Christian theology organized around the twin themes of divine and human love. Love serves not only as the book's organizational centre but as the central critical principle deployed in the book to assess the appropriateness of theological formulations. The book covers the traditional theological topics - God, creation, sin, Christ, the Spirit, salvation, the church, and eschatology - as well as basic questions of theological method. It seeks to integrate a focus on love throughout. I believe the book should prove of interest because, while love is regularly canvassed as a dominant theme in Christian thought, it has rarely been the focus of Christian theological construction or a constraint on theological formulation. The book seeks to suggest, chapter by chapter, how a given topic relates to the broad theme of love. While I do not attempt to force-fit all of the doctrinal themes the book explores into a single mould, I believe it becomes readily apparent to the reader that love can serve as a fruitful touchstone for theological analysis and construction. The book is written in a way designed to make it accessible to university students and educated laypersons-the body of the text does not attempt in general to engage with arcane scholarly debates. At the same time, it takes positions on controverted scholarly issues, and the methodological approach outlined at the beginning should make it of some interest to academic theologians. Thus, it represents an attempt to communicate with both academic and lay audiences about matters of theological interest.
