Towards the Ethics of a Green Future - The Theory and Practice of Human Rights for Future People (Hardcover): Marcus Duwell,... Towards the Ethics of a Green Future - The Theory and Practice of Human Rights for Future People (Hardcover)
Marcus Duwell, Gerhard Bos, Naomi Van Steenbergen
R3,974 Discovery Miles 39 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What are our obligations towards future generations who stand to be harmed by the impact of today's environmental crises? This book explores ecological sustainability as a human rights issue and examines what our long-term responsibilities might be. This interdisciplinary collection of chapters provides a basis for understanding the debates on the provision of sustainability for future generations from a diverse set of theoretical standpoints. Covering a broad range of perspectives such as risk and uncertainty, legal implementation, representation, motivation and economics, Towards the Ethics of a Green Future sets out the key questions involved in this complex ethical issue. The contributors bring theoretical discussions to life through the use of case studies and real-world examples. The book also includes clear and tangible recommendations for policymakers on how to put the suggestions proposed within the book into practice. This book will be of great interest to all researchers and students concerned with issues of sustainability and human rights, as well as scholars of environmental politics, law and ethics more generally.

Critique as Social Practice - Critical Theory and Social Self-Understanding (Paperback): Robin Celikates Critique as Social Practice - Critical Theory and Social Self-Understanding (Paperback)
Robin Celikates; Translated by Naomi Van Steenbergen
R1,089 Discovery Miles 10 890 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Can critical theory diagnose ideological delusion and false consciousness from above, or does it have to follow the practices of critique ordinary agents engage in? This book argues that we have to move beyond this dichotomy, which has led to a theoretical impasse. Whilst ordinary agents engage in complex forms of everyday critique, it must remain the task of critical theory to provide analysis and critique of social conditions that obstruct the development of reflexive capacities and of their realization in corresponding practices of critique. Only an approach that is at the same time non-paternalistic, pragmatist, and dialogical as well as critical will be able to realize the emancipatory potential of the Frankfurt School tradition of critical theory in radically changing social circumstances.
