Inhaltsangabe

Arne Naess is considered one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. He has been a tremendously prolific author, yet his works as a whole have remained largely unavailable – until now. Springer made available for the first time, a definitive 10-volume collection of Arne Naess’s life’s works: The Selected Works of Arne Naess.

The Selected Works of Arne Naess (SWAN) presents a major overview of Arne Naess’s thinking and provides an extensive collection of this prolific philosopher’s principal writings. Some of Naess’s most important publications have never before been available in English. Many others are out of print. Often, his papers were published in obscure and inaccessible journals. And because Naess has been so prolific, many of his most important papers still remain unpublished. The publication of SWAN makes Naess’s work more fully accessible to scholars, students, and critics alike.

Soziale Kontrolle von abweichendem Verhalten und Kriminalit t wandelt sich in hohem Tempo. Steuer-ID, Vorratsdatenspeicherung, Video berwachung, immer neue Anti-Terror-Ma nahmen, h rtere Strafvollzugsgesetze, Kriminalpr vention und Sicherungsverwahrung stehen in der tagespolitischen Diskussion scheinbar unabh ngig nebeneinander. Tats chlich sind sie jedoch Ausdruck einer im Wandel befindlichen Sozialkontrolle, die mit Selbstf hrung, Kontrolle und Ausschluss arbeitet.Das Buch stellt diese grundlegenden Ver nderungen dar und analysiert sie vor dem Hintergrund der konomischen, soziokulturellen und diskursiven Umbr che seit den 1990er Jahren. Diese bilden die Grundlage daf r, dass Staat und Gesellschaft Kriminalit t und Abweichung heute neu definieren und anders darauf reagieren.
