Friedman P: Political Knowledge and
Democracy at Scale

Political Knowledge and Democracy at Scale

A Systems Defense Against Democratic Skepticism

The Tonality of Thought

Is there a human nature? Can knowledge of it help us live better lives? This book synthesises ancient and modern philosophical ideas and draws on scientific research to answer yes to both these questions. It develops an innovative normative theory on the basis of commonsensical, naturalistic, premisses; and it defends an Aristotelian normative theory -- whereby we should understand human goods as realisations or perfections of human nature -- against both traditional and emerging challenges to perfectionist ethics, including evolutionary biology and transhumanism. The result is a ground-breaking theory of 'natural perfectionism', which both returns perfectionistic ethics to its Aristotelian roots and shows how this is compatible with evolutionary biology and cognitive science. At a time when the very idea of human nature is viewed as something that can be readily transcended, this work recalls us to a realistic, sober and better-founded vision of it.

The Failure of the Voice Referendum and the Future of Australian Democracy

Bringing together Michel Foucault's aesthetics of existence and Richard Shusterman's somaesthetics, this volume provides a critical comparison of two of the most influential philosophical theories of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Introduced by a comprehensive overview of both concepts by editors Stefano Marino and Valentina Antoniol, the ensuing chapters interrogate the affinities and variances between Foucault's and Shusterman's philosophies. Building on the interdisciplinary character of somaesthetics and aesthetics of existence, international scholars explore these ideas through a wide range of topics ranging from care of the self and of the social self to the ethical and political challenges posed by themes as white ignorance, construction of resistances, and production of subjectivities. Given the central role played by the body in both concepts, this volume also affords particular attention to the philosophy of sexuality. Demonstrating the value of reading these two thinkers together through the adoption of radical interpretive perspectives, Foucault's Aesthetics of Existence and Shusterman's Somaesthetics highlights the potentialities and the relevance of Foucault's and Shusterman's theories, even with respect to our actualité.

How to Live Like a Stoic

What would the world look like if we couldn’t express outrage against the things we disagree with or support the changes we seek?Rivers that don’t catch fire. The choice to marry who we love. Clean air and water. Even weekends off. Peaceful protest—which, in the U.S. as in many other countries around the world, is protected as a crucial part of an inclusive, thriving participatory democracy – helped bring about each of these victories. Free speech, dissent, and public mobilization are essential tools for advancing so many causes, including environmental protection, workers’ rights, human rights, self-determination, and climate, social, and racial justice.Though protest has brought so much progress — or maybe because of it — the right to speak freely, dissent, and even do basic public outreach and organizing, is increasingly under attack. We have come to expect crackdowns in authoritarian countries, but anti-protest sentiment is spreading in established democracies as well. Activists are being vilified, retaliated against, and even criminalized. In the U.S., anti-protest laws have been enacted in 49 states. SLAPP suits – meritless legal action taken to silence dissent -- are on the rise. New legal concepts, such as “negligent protest,” are being used to hold organizers liable for damages. At the same time, violent actions taken by anti-democratic forces have been reframed and pardoned.Our right to peaceful protest is under attack, and we must act now!Protest! A Tribute and a Call to Action&nbsp;presents a clear understanding and appreciation of the critical role peaceful activism has always played in advancing public good, and to spotlight the need to safeguard this democratic right. The book describes more than 40 iconic, inspiring campaigns from around the world. Photos, artifacts, inspiring quotes, and more make this a compelling testament to the power of public dissent. Guest essays from leaders such as Jane Fonda, Tennessee Representative Justin Pearson, Dolores Huerta, Nemonte Nenquino, and others reveal the role that protest has played in their commitment to fight for change. This book, through storytelling and first-hand reflection, encourages readers to themselves engage in peaceful activism — right here, right now.

Bloomsbury Studies in Modern German Philosophy

"This collection brings together a series of cutting-edge studies on the most significant controversies and prize essay contests of the German Enlightenment. Chapters address questions such as the condition of possibility of the debates, their institutional support and their aims, and introduce relatively unknown but key figures of the period. Set out into four parts, the essays provide new material on areas such as anthropology, the problem of language, colonialism and the origins of aesthetics for the wider study of 18th-century intellectual and philosophical life"--
