Baggini Julian: How to Think like a
Philosopher

How to Think like a Philosopher

Twelve Key Principles for More Humane, Balanced, and Rational Thinking

The 'fresh start' that is afforded individual debtors through the discharge doctrines of American bankruptcy law has, to date, defied justification by a single normative principle or theoretical paradigm. The justificatory accounts that have been advanced either fail to explain core doctrines that have long defined the right of discharge or invite theoretical challenges that suggest that their descriptive virtues are swamped by their normative or conceptual shortcomings. This book presents a taxonomy of traditional justifications of bankruptcy and subjects them to critical evaluation. It then seeks to offer a new justification of bankruptcy's 'fresh start' doctrines-one that takes its inspiration from a quite different moral tradition than those that have informed past efforts to justify and explain our enduring societal willingness to release people from onerous financial obligations. The book argues that personal debt relief is fully vindicated not by a utilitarian theory, nor by a distributive justice theory, nor by a retributive theory, nor by any other rights- or duties-based theory that is preoccupied with moral claims that particular creditors or debtors might proffer. Rather, the long-standing institution of discharge in bankruptcy is best explained by an aretaic, or virtue-based, theory that concerns itself with the obligations that the rest of us have to be charitable towards those who are unable to repay their debts. The fresh start that bankruptcy gives to those who have been shackled by overwhelming debt is justified not by its effects on creditors, debtors, or future market actors, but by its satisfaction of the demands of individual charity to which all citizens are subject. Bankruptcy's discharge of the debts of those who have become financially desperate is best thought to be an institution that aggregates others' demands of good character so as to permit citizens for whom debt-forgiveness is a personal virtue to live in a society that fulfils that virtue.

Why should debtors who default on their obligations be forgiven? Focusing on this central question at the heart of bankruptcy, this book challenges the theoretical foundations of insolvency law, exploring the economic and moral rationales for the law's decision to wipe the slate clean.

Debts and the Demands of Conscience

Religionswissenschaft

Seit den 80er-Jahren ist es ein wichtiger Teil des Selbstverständnisses der deutschsprachigen Theologie, sich als 'Theologie nach Auschwitz' zu begreifen. Die veränderten gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen - das Sterben der letzten Zeitzeug*innen und Täter*innen, neue Formen des Rassismus und Antisemitismus, Migration, Digitalisierung und Klimakrise - drängen heute zu einer interdisziplinären und selbstkritischen Fortschreibung dieses Erbes. Die Beiträger*innen nehmen vor diesem Hintergrund die Pluralisierung und Verflechtung globaler Erinnerungskulturen ebenso in den Blick wie das Erbe der kolonialen Vergangenheit, interreligiöse Fragestellungen und die Transformationen des Erinnerns im Anthropozän und schreiben das Erbe der Theologie nach dem Holocaust fort.

What does it mean to know something? What does it mean to prove something? And how are the two connected? Cara-Julie Kather explores Mathematics&nbsp;as a way of thinking and being in the world. She investigates Mathematics&nbsp;in its conceptual relation to Western understandings of the Rational and the Human, and proposes possibilities of subverting Western Mathematics&nbsp;and of forming different mathematical practices. To engage in decolonial-feminist re-writings of the Rational and the Human requires to re-write mathematical practice too. This study seeks to inspire such practices of re-writing thinking and being - in the realm of the mathematical and beyond.

Routledge Research in the Ethics of Tourism Series

This book offers a critical and justice-oriented examination of tourism's complex impacts, revealing how it shapes and is shaped by economic, social, gender, environmental, animal, and racial (in)justices. It explores pathways toward more equitable and transformative practices for communities and environments.The book examines a mosaic of international research on issues of justice and power in tourism. Offering a critical and justice-oriented perspective, it seeks to develop a deep and critical understanding of not only how tourism interacts with injustices but also how it perpetuates various forms of (in)justice, beyond the purely economic- and marketing-driven view of tourism. Anchored in the critical tourism studies, the book is building on a diversity of perspectives and a rich array of theoretical and disciplinary frameworks to challenge conventional point of view on power dynamics and subsequent (in)justice issues associated with tourism. With illustrative case studies from different parts of the world, it leads the readers to build reflexivity and critical engagement for thoughtful research, theories, and practices in tourism.This book is aimed at graduate studies students and professors interested in a critically oriented, justice-based understanding of tourism as a global phenomenon. It will also offer a varied perspective on the complexity of tourism and its multidisciplinary weaving with geographies, societies, and philosophies to all tourism scholars.

El Arte de la Guerra (the Art of War Spanish Edition)

Can animals, artificial intelligences (AI), and nature have fundamental rights? Do they have fundamental rights? And if they do, how do their rights relate to human rights?

 In this book, eminent and emerging scholars from fields as varied as legal theory, environmental studies, and philosophy, probe the theoretical foundations, flaws, and future prospects of the growing phenomenon of non-human rights.

 Using a dialogical structure, the book consists of matched chapters, with one contributor advancing a view on fundamental rights and another engaging with it. This allows readers to deepen their understanding of the different perspectives offered and to participate in constructive conversations that tease out the promise and pitfalls of each position.

 This balanced approach makes the book particularly helpful to scholars and students who are seeking insights into the emerging field of fundamental rights for non-humans. The book also benefits theoretically-minded lawyers, judges, and policymakers who are considering the foundational issues that shape the development of animal rights, AI rights, and rights of nature.

Raumdenken heute

Wie lassen sich Philosophie und urbanes Denken zusammenbringen? In der Reihe 'Raumdenken heute' trägt Christopher Dell relevante Bestände der politischen Theorie zusammen, um sie aus der Perspektive der Raumwissenschaften kritisch zu hinterfragen und in neue Kontexte zu stellen.&nbsp;In Band I nutzt er das Raumdenken des französischen Philosophen Michel Foucault als Referenzrahmen. Dessen erweiterter Raumbegriff, der die Ortlogik der Heterotopie, die Gouvernementalität und die Räume der Darstellung in den Fokus rückt, liefert einen wesentlichen Kontext für das Verständnis der zeitgenössischen Stadt.&nbsp;

Hidden from view, university data infrastructures circulate, process and store scientific data while requiring extensive energy and metal extraction. The authors of this volume offer a speculative engagement with cultures of scientific competition, institutional habits, server procurement and regulations, and with funding procedures that each in different ways contribute to scientific computing and its planetary effects. Short speculative ethnographic texts and original line art offer witty and thought-provoking takes on the challenges data-driven science faces in times of climate change.

This book analyses the tendency in international law scholarship and criticism to seek a 'new' international law. Drawing and building on scholarship around the political significance of theological ideas, it argues that underlying this tendency is a relationship between international law and messianic thinking.

Lex Amicitia draws a long history of the law of friendship - from Aristotle to Derrida - into a contemporary context: scouring the backrooms, bars and ill-lit alcoves, the corridors and side-rooms where the interior engine of institutional decisions operates. The intimate public sphere is fueled by the affects of amity and enmity, identification and rejection, experience and projection in negotiating and deciding the fate of workaday lives. Using the example of law, and specifically of the legal academy in the Anglophone world, this book pieces together the hidden ties and the secret bondings, the erotics and the hostilities that play beneath the surface of public lives. Patiently reconstructing the apparitions of affect and amity as they are glimpsed in marginal moments and off-hours, peripheries and slips, emails and other unintended viscera, the structural role of the laws of friendship, the legal form of compact, concord and contract is reconstructed and expounded.
