Can societies fall ill? Can institutions die, or social practices
degenerate? Must social norms be embodied? To what extent is social
action habitual? Is social life part of nature or does it transcend
it? This book explores the meaning and many facets of naturalism in
social philosophy. It investigates the consequences of concepts
such as "second nature" and "forms of life" for social philosophy.
It analyses the ways in which social action, gender, work and
morality are embodied. It surveys the conceptions of nature at play
in social criticism. It provides students and experts of social
philosophy with both an overview and critical analyses of the many
facets of naturalism in social philosophy from Hume and Hegel to
Contemporary Critical Theory. Contributors: Louis Carre, Fabian
Freyenhagen, Martin Hartmann, Axel Honneth, Thomas Khurana, Steven
Levine, Sabrina Lovibond, Arvi Sarkela, Barbara Stiegler, Mariana
Teixeira, Italo Testa
Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed
review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical
research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series
creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying
regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas
of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and
its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports
charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form
of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry
could no longer be contained within one volume and the series
Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports
themselves still existed but were divided into two, and
subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and
Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in
chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has
altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various
fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while
others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some
have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be
discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can
be seen on the inside flap of this volume.
How does socio-economic inequality affect our ability to relate to
each other on emotional and intellectual levels? To date, public
discourse on the rising level of inequality in many Western nations
has been informed by quantifiable terms such as income and capital.
Philosophical approaches, conversely, tend to focus on
distributional aspects such as welfare, resources, and
opportunities. In The Feeling of Inequality, author Martin Hartmann
argues that the impact of inequality far transcends the material,
highlighting the ways in which the emotional aspects of these
disparities serve as engines of social differentiation.
Reinterpreting David Hume's and Adam Smith's respective theories of
sympathy, Hartmann sketches a relational theory of democracy that
construes equality as a social relationship, placing particular
emphasis on the emotions and attitudes that often accompany
inequality such as contempt, envy, shame, esteem, pride, and
admiration. Hartmann then localizes these 'relative' emotions in
social and cultural practices, illustrating the ways in which these
emotions result in concrete manifestations of inequality. By
breaking down the foundations of the various empathy gulfs plaguing
contemporary democratic societies, Hartmann paves the way for a
more compassionate approach to thinking about inequality.
Dieses Buch bietet eine umfassende Einfuhrung in die Thematik
stadtischen Zufahrtsmanagements im europaischen Kontext. Dabei
werden sowohl gesetzliche, technologische als auch
volkswirtschaftliche Aspekte in Betracht gezogen. So kontrovers die
Diskussion uber stadtische Zufahrtsmanagement-Systeme wie
beispielsweise City-Maut gefuhrt wird, so wenig kann ignoriert
werden, dass diese Instrumente als Verkehrsmanagementmassnahme aus
dem heutigen Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken sind, ja bereits Fuss
fassten und sich steigender Verwendung erfreuen.
Der Band bietet einen umfassenden, einfuhrenden Uberblick uber die
etwa 80 wichtigsten Texte der Kritischen Theorie. Auf diese Weise
gelingt eine verstandliche und fundierte Einfuhrung in die
Kritische Theorie. Beitragsautoren sind u.a. Sighard Neckel, Rolf
Wiggershaus, Werner Plumpe, Wolfgang Bonss und Martin Seel."
