Rethinking Philosophers' Responsibility

Rethinking Philosophers' Responsibility
Lydia Amir, "Rethinking Philosophers' Responsibility"
English | ISBN: 1443893668 | 2017 | 341 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Calling on philosophers as the custodians of rationality to reconsider their responsibility toward their communities and the state of civilization at large, this book considers philosophy to be a practical discipline. Largely foreign to philosophers and non-philosophers alike, this conception of philosophy discloses the relevance of its unique contributions to contemporary society. The book offers a compelling and accessible analysis of philosophy also in relations to religion, psychology, the New Age Movement, and globalization, and exemplifies through a wide range of current problems how philosophers can fulfil their responsibility. Its argument that responsibility lies where one is capable of doing what is needed, and even more so, when no one else can do it, targets philosophers. However, its innovative study of contemporary philosophy coupled with its original contributions to the problems at hand will engage academics and students from other disciplines, as well as a general readership.

Reimagining Childhood Studies

Reimagining Childhood Studies
Spyros Spyrou, "Reimagining Childhood Studies"
English | ISBN: 1350019224 | 2018 | 272 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Reimagining Childhood Studies incites, and provides a forum for, dialogue and debate about the direction and impetus for critical and global approaches to social-cultural studies of children and their childhoods. Set against the backdrop of a quarter century of research and theorising arising out of the "new" social studies of childhood, each of the 13 original contributions strives to extend the conceptual reach and relevance of the work being undertaken in the dynamic and expanding field of childhood studies in the 21st century.

Rebooting Clausewitz 'On War' in the Twenty-First Century

Rebooting Clausewitz 'On War' in the Twenty-First Century
Christopher Coker, "Rebooting Clausewitz: 'On War' in the Twenty-First Century"
English | ISBN: 0190656530 | 2017 | 176 pages | EPUB | 387 KB
Rebooting Clausewitz offers an entirely new take on the work of history's greatest theorist of war. Written for an undergraduate readership that often struggles with Clausewitz's master work On War-a book that is often considered too philosophical and impenetrably dense-it seeks to unpack some of Clausewitz's key insights on theory and strategy. In three fictional interludes Clausewitz attends a seminar at West Point; debates the War on Terror at a Washington think tank; and visits a Robotics Institute in Santa Fe where he discusses how scientists are reshaping the future of war. Three separate essays situate Clausewitz in the context of his times, discuss his understanding of the culture of war, and the extent to which two other giants-Thucydides and Sun Tzu-complement his work.

Race and Power in British India Anglo-Indians, Class and Identity in the Nineteenth Century

Race and Power in British India Anglo-Indians, Class and Identity in the Nineteenth Century
Valerie Anderson, "Race and Power in British India: Anglo-Indians, Class and Identity in the Nineteenth Century "
English | ISBN: 1780768796 | 2015 | 344 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
By the nineteenth century the British had ruled India for over a hundred years, and had consolidated their power over the sub-continent. Until 1858, when Queen Victoria assumed sovereignty following the Indian Rebellion, the country was run by the East India Company - by this time a hybrid of state and commercial enterprises and eloquently and fiercely attacked as intrinsically immoral and dangerous by Edmund Burke in the late 1700s. Seeking to go beyond the statutes and ceremony, and show the reality of the interactions between rulers and ruled on a local level, this book looks at one of the most interesting phenomena of British India - the 'Eurasians'. The adventurers of the early years of Indian occupation arrived alone, and in taking 'native' mistresses and wives, created a race of administrators who were 'others' to both the native population and the British ruling class. These Anglo-Indian people existed in the zone between the colonizer and the colonized, and their history provides a wonderfully rich source for understanding Indian social history, race and colonial hegemony.
