Nietzsche and the Politics of Reaction Essays on Liberalism, Socialism, and Aristocratic Radicalism - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Matthew McManus خلاصه: Introduction Matt McManus Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained: later on, there are no worse and no more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions. Their effects are known well enough: they undermine the will to power; they level mountain and valley, and call that morality; they make men small, cowardly, and hedonistic — every time it is the herd animal that triumphs with them. Liberalism: in other words, herd- animalization. Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilig

Explorations in Marx’s Theory of Price—Why Marx Is Still Relevant for Understanding the Modern Economy Volume I: Money and Money Prices - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Howard Nicholas خلاصه: Preface This book is the first volume of a three-volume series borne out of a dissatisfaction I felt after writing Marx’s Theory of Price and its Modern Rivals, 2011. The dissatisfaction came from an awareness that a number of aspects of Marx’s theory of price required greater attention than I was able to accord them in this work. These included his analyses of money, profits, and the cyclical movement of the capitalist economic system. Although I was aware of this neglect while writing the book, I felt it did not do serious damage to my main purpose in writing it; to refute what I considered to be unwarranted charges of unintelligibility, inconsistency, and irrelevance levelled against Marx’s explanation of price. I now feel these omissions are consequential, and undermine my defence of Marx’s theory of price in the book. My hope is that this volume and the next will remedy the shortcomings of Nicholas (2011). As the title of the present work suggests its purpose is to expand on Marx’s theory of price by expanding on his explanation of money. The second volume builds on this by expanding on his explana- tion of profits and the movement of prices over cycles. The third volume extends this explanation to the level of the world market, explaining inter- national value and price, world money and exchange rates, and the cyclical movement of world market prices.

Ahmet Suayb Gundogdu Food Security, Affordable Housing, and Poverty - Original PDF
نویسندگان: An Islamic Finance Perspective خلاصه: CHAPTER 1 Affordable Housing and Poverty “The root causes of the problem in accessing affordable housing” In Islam, paying Zakat, avoiding Riba, and spending to avoid hoarding have much more value than abstaining from fornication, theft, and drinking. The hoarding issue has not been appropriately preached since Al-Ahbari has been hoarding.1 The importance, as well as the proper imposition of Zakat, is also ignored. Case Box 1.1 showcases the clari- fication from Muhammad ( ).

Epistemology Modalized by Kelly Becker - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Kelly Becker خلاصه: 1 Introduction: Externalism and modalism Recent developments in epistemology, and in philosophy more generally, provide a promising foundation for an answer to a very old question: What is knowledge? The question stymied Plato in the Theaetetus, from which the traditional tripartite analysis of knowledge as justified true belief derives. It received fresh attention when Edmund Gettier showed that the three conditions of the traditional analysis were not jointly sufficient for knowledge. Subsequent attempts to repair the analysis of knowledge aimed (1) to amend the notion of justification to avoid the Gettier problem; (2) to add a fourth condition, for instance that there are no defeaters to one’s justification; or (3) to replace justification with some other condition that captures the requisite link between belief and truth constitutive of knowledge. 1 The uniqueness of the third strategy is not clearly defined because one could easily argue that, whatever the necessary link between belief and truth turns out to be, it just is justification. Nonetheless, I see myself as pursuing this approach because the very term ‘‘justification’’ is all too pregnant with associated notions that I believe are not essential to knowledge, and work- ing toward an account that explicitly involves justification as a necessary condition can lead us away from a proper understanding of knowledge. (A specific instance of this problem arises in Chapter 2.) Unencumbered by the requirement to explicate ‘‘justification,’’ we can inquire into the requisite belief-truth link constitutive of knowledge by testing proposals for that link against our intuitions concerning whether an agent actually knows in parti- cular cases. If we find that a correct or, at least, working account of that link does not capture the traditional conception of justification, then so be it. 2 Our topic, then, is propositional knowledge: knowledge that p for some arbitrary proposition p. I will not claim that all other forms of knowledge, for instance, knowledge by acquaintance, knowledge of one’s own phenom- enological states, and know-how, are reducible to propositional knowledge, and so do not intend to give an account of knowledge in general. This only slightly diminishes the importance of an account of propositional knowl- edge, since it is through sentences and the propositions they express that we think and talk about the world. It would be a significant advance in our understanding if we had a plausible theory of such knowledge
Dynamic Détente. The United States and Europe, 1964–1975 - PDF
Dynamic Détente. The United States and Europe, 1964–1975 - PDF
نویسندگان: Stephan Kieninger خلاصه: Détente seemed to prolong the division of Europe. It seemed to make America lose sight of its mission. From the perspective of its critics, détente allowed for the Soviet Union’s arms buildup in the 1970s, and it allegedly precipitated America’s decline in the wake of the Vietnam War. That is the traditional Cold War narrative.1 This book tells a different story though. I argue that the power of dynamic détente policies transformed Europe in the shadow of the military status quo. This study depicts the origins and the implementation of American policies to overcome Europe’s division peace- fully through the kind of dynamic détente that was codified in the Helsinki Final Act of 1975. I emphasize that the transformative effects of the Helsinki Accords had been envisaged since the 1960s: Lyndon Johnson’s bridge build- ing and Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik were the forerunners for the Helsinki pro- cess. Johnson and Brandt were eager to foster liberalizing changes in Eastern Europe through an expansion of East-West communication. The assumption was that the Communist rules were prepared to open up their systems gradu- ally for freer movement of people, information, and ideas provided that they were granted international security

Pastoral Care for the Incarcerated: Hope Deferred, Humanity Diminished? - Original PDF
Pastoral Care for the Incarcerated: Hope Deferred, Humanity Diminished? - Original PDF
نویسندگان: David Kirk Beedon خلاصه: This book explores and formulates a response to the question: How best can those held in modern systems of mass incarceration be cared for pastorally when many prisons diminish both hope and humanity? Employing the multi-disciplinary approach of practical theology, this ethnographic enquiry will be a guide for chaplains and all who strive to embody compassion wherever human flourishing is undermined. The book’s structure follows the pastoral cycle method from practical theology, remaining context-based and practice-focused throughout. Pastoral insights are illustrated with personal, poetic and movingly reflective material drawn from the lived experience of indeterminately sentenced men who did not know if or when they would be ever released. The author, a former prison chaplain, remains reflexively and humanely present in the text, modelling the profound humane regard and pastoral presence that is central to this work. This book will take the reader deeply into penal spaces on a journey of both compassion and hope.
