Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An Introduction to Political Thought emphasizes a dual approach to political theory by providing a chronological overview of both major figures and texts as well as an understanding of the development of key concepts and themes. In this way the authors provide a basic sense of the history and development of political thought and a critical grasp of the theoretical and philosophical issues at the heart of politics. Beginning with the idea that laws and constitutions are only beneficial insofar as they give effective expression to our moral and political beliefs, the authors argue that moral and political ideas are the foundations of politics. Political philosophers covered in depth include: Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx, Bentham, Rawls, and Burke. Key concepts such as the moral order, liberty, human nature, freedom, the social contract, distributive justice, liberalism, socialism, feminism, human rights, and multiculturalism are also all covered. In exploring these issues the authors offer a critical guide through key arguments in the history of political thought and contemporary political theory.…

Tapa blanda. Zustand: New. El libro revelación de las letras balcánicas. La reapertura de una fábrica en la antigua Yugoslavia se convierte en un campo de batalla entre el deseo de prosperidad y la memoria colectiva. Un retrato mordaz de una sociedad que no ha cerrado sus heridas.Han pasado varios años desde que terminó la guerra de los Balcanes. Oleg y Nikola, un par de empresarios buscavidas al servicio del nuevo capitalismo, han llegado a N., una ciudad fronteriza que parece haber sido olvidada por el mundo, para reabrir la antigua fábrica de turbinas. Con la ayuda del antiguo ingeniero, Sobotka, intentarán ganarse la confianza de la población local predicando el evangelio socialista yugoslavo de la «autogestión». Pero sus verdaderos objetivos se revelarán mucho más oscuros. Pronto el proyecto empieza a descontrolarse, y Oleg y Nikola luchan por mantener el orden en la fábrica, donde la llegada de la «nueva prosperidad» resucita viejas rencillas e imprevisibles reencuentros.Una afilada sátira sobre el choque del sueño socialista y el capitalismo del siglo XXI. Robert Perisic, uno de los escritores más visionarios del continente, presenta una salvaje parodia del postcomunismo, una tragicomedia contada con un humor despiadado en una de las mejores novelas europeas de los últimos años, que fue adaptada en una exitosa serie de televisión.CRÍTICA«Las novelas de Robert Perisic están repletas de inteligencia e ironía, y nos muestran que la Croacia de posguerra no solo perdura, sino que importa.» --Jonathan Franzen«Esta inteligente y ambiciosa visión de las influencias del capitalismo en Europa del Este será perfecta para los admiradores de Umberto Eco.» --Publishers Weekly«Una aguda y subversiva novela de ideas que parece reflejar una época en la que las propias ideas están en bancarrota.» --Kirkus Review«En el conmovedor relato de Perisic, el borrado de Yugoslavia y de su experimento socialista sigue atormentando a su pueblo, ahora a la deriva en un vacío de posguerra» --The New York Times«El último artefacto socialista es una obra atemporal, apátrida, que invita a sus lectores a salir a la luz» --The New Republic«Perisic capta brillantemente el absurdo y el caos de una sociedad en transición. El libro está impregnado de un ethos poético punk: desafiante, anárquico, exuberante e irónico, perfecto para una historia sobre buscavidas, trabajadores, soñadores y mercenarios en la Croacia de la posguerra y la posverdad» --Miriam Toews«Una escritura siempre rica en detalles y atenta a las múltiples perspectivas de sus personajes. Una novela excepcionalmente atractiva.» --The Irish Times«Una lectura alucinante: una historia de crimen y heroísmo en las secuelas reales de una guerra racial totalmente blanca, contada con sabiduría, sofisticación y pasión.» --Nell Zink.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What role should the idea of evil have in contemporary moral and social thought The concept of 'evil' has long been a key idea in moral discourse. Now, the contributors to this volume make a start on the important task of systematically exploring evil in the context of political theory.Intuitively, we know what evil means. Yet once we begin to think about its meaning we quickly uncover competing definitions. In recent years, political theorists have generally set the concept aside as outdated or inappropriate. Yet the idea that some things are wrong beyond toleration still has significant currency. If 'evil' can capture that significance, it merits a closer look.Key Features- Presents a broad ranging exploration of the idea of evil in contemporary theory- Offers a philosophical analysis of the role of evil in ethics- Analyses the idea of evil in classic arguments.…
