Baggini Julian: How to Think like a
Philosopher

How to Think like a Philosopher

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

Law and Practical Reason

Moral Responsibility and Artificial Intelligence

Do animals have legal rights? This pioneering book tells readers everything they need to know about animal rights law. Using straightforward examples from over 30 legal systems from both the civil and common law traditions, and based on a popular course taught by the authors at the University of Cambridge, the book takes the reader from the earliest anti-cruelty laws to modern animal welfare laws, to recent attempts to grant basic rights and personhood to animals. To help readers understand this legal evolution, it explains the ethics, legal theory, and social issues behind animal rights and connected topics such as property, subjecthood, dignity, and human rights. The new edition, fully updated throughout, contains a new chapter on rights of nature. The book's companion website (bloomsbury.pub/animal-rights-law) provides access to briefs on the latest developments in this fast-changing area, and gives readers the tools to investigate their own legal systems with a list of key references to the latest cases, legislation, and jurisdiction-specific bibliographic references. Rich in exercises and study aids, this easy-to-use introduction is a prime resource for law students and for anyone else who wants to understand how animals can be protected by the law.

Animal Rights Law

A challenge to incentivization as a dominant framework for understanding and governing people From corporate management and consumer behavior to public health and climate policy, incentives are widely treated as a neutral and effective way to shape how people act. In this book, Guus Dix shows that incentives are not simple policy nudges; they lull us into a passive understanding of ourselves as being merely responsive to changes others make to our environment. They foster a politics of incremental tweaks to a socially and ecologically destructive economic system that we are expected to accept without question. Dix argues that it is time to challenge the reign of incentives in contemporary science and public life. Dix traces the evolution of the incentive, from the engineering of performance charts and rewards for factory workers to combating gridlock at Britain’s National Health Service. He describes the function of incentives under socialism, theories of adjustment incentives developed at the Harvard Business School to manage employees, and incentivizing whole economies—both socialist and capitalist. He shows that incentivization is a distinct way of wielding power. Incentives have become part of a quasi-universal governing philosophy that keeps us from addressing such major issues as poverty and the climate crisis. Finally, Dix analyzes the limits of incentivization, arguing that being governed by incentives keeps us from considering government policies that have the potential to bring about meaningful and transformative change.

*A Radio 4 Book of the Week*'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' - Maureen Freely'Humane, thoughtful and urgent - this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' - Dr Mary WellesleyA thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body__________Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act - or even legal at all?Is it right that you can pay more for 'VIP' egg donors - and to view their photos?How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost - and who should be allowed to buy it?The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person's biological bad luck can be another person's financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered.Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one?Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.__________'A powerful, intimate and disturbing exploration of the hidden markets built on women's bodies' Professor Peter Frankopan'An absolute must read for anyone considering surrogacy; a compelling and thought-provoking book for everyone else' Jack Farchy, co-author of The World for Sale

A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

The Soul of Wealth

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

The Modern Money Questions That Could Save Your Relationships

Yours or Mine?

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

What are reasons? What are duties? What are values? This book presents a fresh account of these concepts and the interplay between them. It defends a modest notion of a reason. It opens space for a notion of a duty that is fundamental and irreducible to that of a reason. And it proposes that engagement with value can be assessed as good, and that good engagement often involves the development of correct beliefs and fitting emotions. The result brings to light the normative significance of cognitive and affective attitudes, and reshapes the relationship between practical and epistemic normativity. In this redrawing of the normative map, Rethinking Normativity engages with wide ranging resources, including Razian theory, care ethics, and accounts of pragmatic encroachment on knowledge.
