The Routledge Guides to the Great Books

The Routledge Guidebook to Marx's Capital

In some cases in the US, offenders have been made to take anti-psychotic drugs in order to restore competence to stand trial, or even to receive punishment. If such neurointerventions can change a person's behaviour can they be used to treat and more controversially, predict and prevent crime? Once a fantasy portrayed in films such as Minority Report such questions are fast-becoming fundamental ones for policy, law and ethics. This is the first book to introduce and explain the fundamental concepts, problems and debates around neuroscience, ethics and crime. After a helpful introduction the authors examine the following topics: Criminal justice, harm and the problem of punishment: why punish? Cognitive and behavioural neuroscience: a short introductionReading minds: can brain scans replace lie detector tests and predict reoffending?Neuroscientific assessments of competency Compulsory neurointerventions: can changing the brain be used to increase empathy and reduce violent urges?Voluntary neurointervention: is it wrong to administer neurointerventions even if the offender agrees to receive the neurointervention?Neuroscience, free will and moral responsibilityBroader issues in criminal justice, including the justification of criminal punishment and the role of moral intuitions in decision-making. Additional features, such as chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary make this an excellent resource for students of philosophy and those in related disciplines such as philosophy, criminology, law and criminal justice.

An Introduction

Neuroscience, Ethics, and Criminal Punishment

This is the first book to provide a sustained exploration of the philosophy of mistakes. Beginning with the distinction between mistakes and malfunction Kim Frost examines the idea that mistakes are a form of irrationality; whether there can be mistakes of sensation and emotion; the idea of mistakes as imperfect exercises of fallible powers; the seemingly paradoxical theory that mistakes seem accidental yet also explicable; and mistakes in the context of non-human animals, such as the Sphex wasp, human experience and taking responsibility for mistakes.

Mistakes are an inevitable part of human experience. We jump to conclusions, confuse one thing with another and can simply get things wrong. We make such mistakes, and in that sense we are distinctively responsible for them. In this respect, we are quite different from most other things in the natural world. This is the first book to provide a sustained exploration of the philosophy of mistakes.

In this exceptionally clear and engaging introduction to the philosophy of science, James Ladyman explores the philosophical questions that arise when we reflect on the nature of the scientific method and the knowledge it produces. He discusses whether fundamental philosophical questions about knowledge and reality might be answered by science, and considers in detail the debate between realists and antirealists about the extent of scientific knowledge. The style remains unassuming, bringing to life the essential questions in the philosophy of science. Ideal for any student of philosophy or science, the book requires no previous knowledge of either discipline. It contains suggestions for further reading and cross-references with an extensive bibliography, making this the ideal textbook for students coming to the subject for the first time. The second edition includes the following key features: new chapter 'Confirmation and Evidence' which will include Nicod's criterion and Hempel's symmetry thesis and Bayesianism new content added to the 'Revolutions and Rationality' chapter, including Post-Kuhnian views of the scientific method more content on social factors in science and recent views of science.

Critical Concepts in Religious Studies

There is a substantial and growing literature on both theories and methods in the study of religion. This new four-volume collection will showcase the very best cutting-edge research and canonical literature.

Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion

This book introduces students and researchers to the philosophical issues at play in the growing field of Bayesian epistemology. It focuses not on how to do particular calculations but instead on the philosophical foundations at the convergence of belief and mathematical representation. Its central questions are: What is the nature of quantifying belief? What is the source of its norms? How is it reasonable to represent belief numerically? Accessible to those without any mathematical background, this book will become a much used classic in the field.

Written in an engaging style for undergraduate students and general readers, Environmental Justice as Environmental Ethics: An Introduction is a new kind of primer to the study of moral problems and the natural world. It takes as its starting point the increasing awareness among researchers, activists, and others that the key ethical issues related to the use of the environment are questions of justice. It then provides a framework for systematically understanding environmental justice, exploring sustainable development, consumption, the distribution of natural resources, environmental racism, ecofeminism, and the anti-toxic movement, among other issues. The book reaches beyond the usual concerns of moral theory to engage with environmental issues where most readers find them on the ground. The result is a new kind of introduction to environmental ethics-foregrounding the importance of environmental justice and engaging students by illuminating those topics they find the most compelling, important, and relevant to their daily lives. Included in the text are teaching tools, like short descriptions of longer arguments discussed elsewhere, tips for detecting problematic reasoning, questions at the end of each chapter, and a bibliography of prominent and useful literature. A Companion Website provides links to key documents, important interviews, and videos that illuminate key parts of the book

A New Introduction

Environmental Justice as Environmental Ethics

Routledge Studies in Critical Realism

Through an extensive critical review of the major traditions of social theory from the perspective of social realism, this book develops the argument that social theory to date has been hamstrung by its resort to conflationary-reductive analytical modes. Deploying social realism as a tool of explanatory critique of influential sociological theories of contemporary society, such as risk, liquid modernity, reflexive modernity, and postmodernity, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of critical theory, critical realism, philosophy and sociology.

The failure of social philosophers to make sense of an object of knowledge that embodies real divisions and polarities has generated a fundamental problem of social theory: the fallacy of reductive-conflationary analytical and explanatory models in sociological research. This book seeks to define the problem of sociology as one of developing appropriate theoretical and methodological tools for describing and analysing a multi-faceted social reality. Through an extensive critical review of the major traditions of social theory from the perspective of social realism, this book develops the argument that social theory to date has been hamstrung by its resort to conflationary-reductive analytical modes. Part I presents a realist critique of the traditional rivals of holism and individualism while Part II offers a realist critique of the major paradigms of sociological elisionism. In Part III the author builds on these critiques by exploring how the ontology of social realism can sustain a robust social theory that resolves the traditional dilemmas and antinomies. Deploying this social realism as a tool of explanatory critique of influential sociological theories of contemporary society, such as risk, liquid modernity, reflexive modernity, and postmodernity, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of critical theory, critical realism, philosophy and sociology.

Routledge New Religions

George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (c.1866-1949) is acknowledged as one of the most influential early teachers of a hybridised Eastern-Western esoteric spiritual tradition, and one of a few key influences on the contemporary New Age Movement and a myriad other alternative spiritualities and new religions. Positioning Gurdjieff's teachings within the field of New Religious Movements, this book examines the 'Work' (as Gurdjieff's system is commonly called), including his teachings presented in writings, music, and exercises known as 'Movements'. This critical introduction to the Gurdjieff tradition also provides an analysis of problems with unreliable sources and auto-mythology, examines major pupils and successors, and shows how the 'Work' functions in the contemporary spiritual marketplace. Offering an excellent introduction to anyone unfamiliar with Gurdjieff and his context, this book also provides further depth for scholars and an invaluable companion to literature examining Blavatsky, Steiner, Theosophy, and Anthroposophy.
