Samfundsvidenskabelig idéhistorie

Bringing together foreign and domestic policy, The Poverty of the World aims to offer a new answer to the question of why Americans became obsessed with poverty in the 1960s. A history of how American liberals made sense of US power during a period of unprecedented affluence at home, it uses intellectual and political biographies of major figures in postwar US social thought and politics to tell the story of how Americans invented the problem of "global poverty" and executed a war against it.

Consistent Democracy offers an intellectual history of democracy and the so-called woman question from the 1830s through the 1890s. It shows that in asking and answering questions about women's roles, responsibilities, and rights, Americans grappled with fundamental ideas about democracy.

This book deals with the evolution of mathematical thought during the 20th century. Representing a unique point of view combining mathematics, philosophy and history on this issue, it presents an original analysis of key authors, for example Bourbaki, Grothendieck and Husserl. As a product of 19th and early 20th century science, a canon of knowledge or a scientific ideology, mathematical structuralism had to give way. The succession is difficult, still in progress, and uncertain. To understand contemporary mathematics, its progressive liberation from the slogans of "modern mathematics" and the paths that remain open today, it is first necessary to deconstruct the history of this long dominant current. Another conception of mathematical thought emerged in the work of mathematicians such as Hilbert or Weyl, which went beyond the narrow epistemological paths of science in the making. In this tradition, mathematical thought was accompanied by a philosophical requirement. Modernity teaches us to revive it.The book is intended for a varied public: mathematicians concerned with understanding their discipline, philosophers of science, and the erudite public curious about the progress of mathematics.

In this book, Ben Lazare Mijuskovic uses both an interdisciplinary and History of Ideas approach to discuss four forms of intertwined theories of human consciousness and reflexive self-consciousness (Plato, Augustine, Descartes, Leibniz, Kant, and Hegel; Schopenhauer¿s subconscious irrational Will; Brentano and Husserl¿s transcendent intentionality; and Freud¿s dynamic ego). Mijuskovic explores these theories within the context of psychological issues, where the discussion is undergirded by the conflict between loneliness and intimacy. He also explores them in the context of ethics, where the dynamic is between the values of good and evil. The book historically traces these issues in both a personal as well as a political framework.

This book explores the creation and career of the French Constitution of 1795, operative from the start of the Directory until Napoleon¿s takeover in 1799. It explores the composition, history and replacement of the French Revolution¿s third Constitution through a focus on the speeches and writings of four sets of political voices discernible in late 1790s France. The four main chapters present these voices as Thermidorians, Conservatives, Republicans and Brumairiens. They reveal the intensity and breadth of the debates generated by the permanent tension between the Constitution and the many ongoing conflicts of the Revolution. Set within and beyond the government and the two legislative chambers, the debates feature numerous conflicts central to the French Revolution including the composition and functions of the public powers, the legitimacy of exceptional laws, the regulation of the press and freedom of religion. This sustained focus on the relationship between the politicalnation and the Constitution provides a fresh reading of the political culture of the Directory.

¿This book considers how legal history has shaped and continues to shape our shared present. Each chapter draws a clear and significant connection to a meaningful feature of our lives today. Focusing primarily on England and Australia, contributions show the diversity of approaches to legal history¿s relevance to the present. Some contributors have a tight focus on legal decisions of particular importance. Others take much bigger picture overview of major changes that take centuries to register and where impact is still felt. The contributors are a mix of legal historians, practising lawyers, members of the judiciary, and legal academics, and develop analysis from a range of sources from statutes and legal treatises to television programs. Major legal personalities from Edward Marshall Hall to Sir Dudley Ryder are considered, as are landmarks in law from the Magna Carta to the Mabo Decision.

'Hugely important ... Drawing on grassroots alternatives from across the world, the book offers a vital guide' Ian Scoones, Professor, University of Sussex'A fantastic collection that illustrates that just transformations are already being imagined and implemented on the ground' David Schlosberg, Professor, University of Sydney'A splendid book co-produced by an impressive international group of academics and activists ... Optimistic and inspiring' Joan Martinez-Alier, Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaThe climate crisis is the greatest existential threat humanity faces today. The need for a radical societal transformation in the interests of social justice and ecological sustainability has never been greater. But where can we turn to find systemic alternatives?From India, Turkey, Belgium and Lebanon, to Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela and Canada, Just Transformations looks to local environmental struggles for the answers. With each case study grounded in the social movements and specific politics of the region in question, this volume investigates the role that resistance movements play in bringing about sustainable transformations, the strategies and tools they utilize to overcome barriers, and how academics and grassroots activists can collaborate effectively.The book provides a toolkit for scholar-activists who want to build transformative visions with communities.

Offering a new reading of Antonio Gramsci's political theory, Radical Politics argues that hegemony is a process of differentiation in which political culture is always changing, and always with the goal of moving toward expanded freedom. Over the course of the book, Peter D. Thomas looks at the way in which various theorists have approached the dilemma of how to engage productively in radical politics and explains why hegemony is a distinctive method of doing politics rather than an end goal. A forceful contribution to ongoing debates about the nature and orientation of contemporary emancipatory movements, Radical Politics provides a counterintuitive interpretation of Gramsci's famous and newly relevant work.

Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der Wirkung Richard Wagners und Friedrich Nietzsches auf die Ideologien der radikalen Rechten, die in der einen oder anderen Form Eingang in die Sammlungsbewegung des Nationalsozialismus gefunden haben. Es konzentriert sich also auf die Rezeption durch die intellektuelle Rechte des Kaiserreichs und der Weimarer Republik, die zur Analyse des Nationalsozialismus wie der neuen Rechten durch die Erhellung der Vorgeschichte der Ideologien beiträgt. Zwei Kapitel widmen sich dem theoretischen Werk Wagners und dem Werk Nietzsches und den Beziehungen der beiden Leitfiguren des späten 19. Jahrhunderts untereinander.

Das Lehrbuch verbindet eine bewährte Orientierung an Schlüsselautor*innen mit einer innovativ-systematischen Darstellungsweise. Mit dem Verständnis von Politischer Theorie als Systematisierung der Rechtfertigung und Kritik politischer Verhältnisse wird ein weiter, aber zugleich eingegrenzter Fokus gesetzt. Im ersten Teil (¿Klassische Perspektiven¿) werden jeweils zwei Figuren der politischen Ideengeschichte kapitelweise gegenübergestellt. Auch im zweiten Teil (¿Zeitgenössische Perspektiven¿) werden zentrale Argumentationsansätze mittels einer vergleichenden Betrachtung von Theoretiker*innen erschlossen. Darüber hinaus werden Forderungen nach einer grundlegenden Neuausrichtung der Politischen Theorie behandelt. Eine übergreifende Klammer bilden Reflexionen zu den Konzepten ¿Macht¿, ¿Gerechtigkeit¿ und ¿Demokratie¿.

Litteraturstudier og studiet af idéernes historie er to tæt forbundne fagligheder, der deler en ambition om at forstå sproglige og kulturelle udtryk. Bogen Litteratur og idéhistorie afsøger forbindelserne mellem de to felter. Formålet er ikke at identificere én korrekt måde at anskue og tilgå krydsfeltet mellem litteratur og idéhistorie, men at vise mangfoldigheden af forbindelseslinjer i igangværende forskning og tænkning på området. Dette udfolder sig over femten kapitler forfattet af både forskere og studerende, der tænker og arbejder med kombinationer af det idéhistoriske og det litterære. Bogen er redigeret af lektor i idéhistorie Casper Andersen, lektor i nordisk sprog og litteratur Simona Zetterberg-Nielsen og ph.d.-studerende Valdemar Nielsen Pold. Bogen henvender sig til alle med en interesse for forholdet mellem litteratur og idéhistorie og kommer vidt omkring i værker og tanker.Bogen er fagfællebedømt og indeholder bidrag fra: Søren R.

'A writer of genius' - William Dalrymple'Remarkable' - Kwame Anthony Appiah'Utterly captivating' - Anthony DoerrCan anyone really own a culture? This magnificent account argues that the story of global civilisations is one of mixing, sharing, and borrowing.It shows how art forms have crisscrossed continents over centuries to produce masterpieces. From Nefertiti's lost city and the Islamic Golden Age to twentieth century Nigerian theatre and Modernist poetry, Martin Puchner explores how contact between different peoples has driven artistic innovation in every era - whilst cultural policing and purism have more often undermined the very societies they tried to protect.Travelling through Classical Greece, Ashoka's India, Tang dynasty China, and many other epochs, this triumphal new history reveals the crossing points which have not only inspired the humanities, but which have made us human.
