Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Habermas and Rawls are two heavyweights of social and political
philosophy, and they are undoubtedly the two most written about
(and widely read) authors in this field. However, there has not
been much informed and interesting work on the points of
intersection between their projects, partly because their work
comes from different traditions-roughly the European tradition of
social and political theory and the Anglo-American analytic
tradition of political philosophy. In this volume, contributors
re-examine the Habermas-Rawls dispute with an eye toward the ways
in which the dispute can cast light on current controversies about
political philosophy more broadly. Moreover, the volume will cover
a number of other salient issues on which Habermas and Rawls have
interesting and divergent views, such as the political role of
religion and international justice.
National parks and protected areas offer a wealth of ecological and
social contributions or services to humans and life on earth. This
book describes the strengths of national parks and protected areas
in different parts of Europe and North America and the challenges
to the full realization of their goals. It shows that they are
useful not only in conserving rare species and biodiversity, but
also in protecting water supply and other resources necessary to
tourism and to economic and social development generally. Ideas and
information on useful planning, management and decision-making
arrangements are presented, and research needs are identified.
The definitive new guide on healing trauma and taming our triggers,
by Harvard-trained-Psychiatrist and pioneer of mind-body medicine,
Doctor James Gordon. Trauma comes to all of us, through grief or
from a painful experience; even if our symptoms do not reach that
of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, the consequences can be
devastating. The good news is that there are self-care tools to
help us face the storm, heal our traumas and become healthier and
more whole than ever before because of them. In Transforming
Trauma, Doctor Gordon equips readers with the first evidence-based
program to reverse the effects of trauma on our bodies and minds
that he has used to support thousands of people across the world
who have suffered - from Syrian refugees and 9/11 survivors to
everyday people with emotional or physical illness. Doctor Gordon
believes that any challenge can be overcome once you have the right
techniques - he will show us how to recognise our triggers
step-by-step - those words, actions, perceptions that in some way
resemble a past trauma - and let them become our teachers, so we
can finally realise that that is then and this is now and in turn,
open the door for freedom from our past and a fresh route for hope,
purpose and love. 'This is the book on trauma treatment I've been
waiting for' - Dr Andrew Weil, New York Times bestselling author +
Professor of Medicine 'This book could give you back your life in
unimaginable ways, it will inspire you to say 'yes' to the
seemingly inconceivable and impossible' - Jon Kabat-Zinn

Jurgen Habermas and John Rawls are perhaps the two most renowned
and influential figures in social and political philosophy of the
second half of the twentieth century. In the 1990s, they had a
famous exchange in the Journal of Philosophy. Quarreling over the
merits of each other's accounts of the shape and meaning of
democracy and legitimacy in a contemporary society, they also
revealed how great thinkers working in different traditions
read-and misread-one another's work. In this book, James Gordon
Finlayson examines the Habermas-Rawls debate in context and
considers its wider implications. He traces their dispute from its
inception in their earliest works to the 1995 exchange and its
aftermath, as well as its legacy in contemporary debates. Finlayson
discusses Rawls's Political Liberalism and Habermas's Between Facts
and Norms, considering them as the essential background to the
dispute and using them to lay out their different conceptions of
justice, politics, democratic legitimacy, individual rights, and
the normative authority of law. He gives a detailed analysis and
assessment of their contributions, assessing the strengths and
weaknesses of their different approaches to political theory,
conceptions of democracy, and accounts of religion and public
reason, and he reflects on the ongoing significance of the debate.
The Habermas-Rawls Debate is an authoritative account of the
crucial intersection of two major political theorists and an
explication of why their dispute continues to matter.
