Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

This book expands the current axiology of theism literature by assessing the axiological status of alternative conceptions of God and the divine. To date most of the literature on the axiology of theism focuses almost exclusively on the axiological status of theism and atheism. Specifically it focuses almost entirely on monotheism typically Judeo-Christian conceptions of God and atheism usually construed as ontological naturalism. This volume features essays from prominent philosophers of religion ethicists and metaphysicians addressing the value impact of alternative views such as ultimism polytheism pantheism panentheism and idealism. Additionally it reflects a wider trend in analytic philosophy of religion to broaden its scope beyond the Judeo-Christian tradition. Value Beyond Monotheism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in the philosophy of religion ethics and metaphysics. | Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

Hegemony and the Politics of Labour Towards a Discourse Theory of Value in Contemporary Capitalism

Hegemony and the Politics of Labour takes up a question that goes to the heart of the debate about politics capitalism and discourse: how can labour relations and value production be understood as discursive processes? When they launched their poststructuralist discourse theory almost 40 years ago Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe positioned the contingency of discourse and politics in sharp contrast to the deterministic tendencies of the Marxist critique of capitalism. Moving beyond Marxism as an essentialist ‘other’ discourse theory has since remained notoriously silent on questions related to the core workings of capitalism. This book is the first to bring the central categories of discourse theory into conversation with Marx’s critique of political economy. Reintegrating both traditions it argues that the social relations of labour in capitalism emerge as a hegemonic formation. Its contribution is to extend the reach of discourse theory to the capitalist economy exploring how a post- Marxist account of labour value and class connects to the contingent politics of populism. Hegemony and the Politics of Labour is an original and important contribution to the fields of discourse theory and critique of political economy. | Hegemony and the Politics of Labour Towards a Discourse Theory of Value in Contemporary Capitalism

Adam Smith’s Theory of Value and Distribution Economics as a Moral Science Once Again

Ever since the time of his early interpreters beginning with David Hume Adam Smith’s theory of value has been the subject of confusion and misunderstanding—including a controversy which still rages over whether Smith held a labour theory of value and if so whether he held to it throughout Wealth of Nations or if it was confined to the “Early and Rude State”? This book provides a close reading of Smith’s key text and also incorporates material from the other parts of Smith’s oeuvre especially from The Theory of Moral Sentiments to yield original and important insights into Smith’s theory of value. The book operates on the assumption that Smith is proposing relatively simple ideas about price and takes a conventional view that simple Supply and Demand models can illuminate clearly and consistently with his text his theory of price. Combining these elements the book argues that contra Marx Smith does not have a labour theory of value at all understood as a theory of the determination of the relative price structure. Instead Smith is placed squarely in the supply and demand general equilibrium framework and the claim that he is part of a “surplus tradition” which receives its highest treatment in the work of Piero Sraffa is refuted. This book will be of particular interest to Adam Smith specialists historians of economic thought and research economists who have an interest in Smith. | Adam Smith’s Theory of Value and Distribution Economics as a Moral Science Once Again

Good Education in a Fragile World The Value of a Collaborative and Contextualised Approach to Sustainability in Higher Education

This edited collection aims to provoke discussion around the most important question for contemporary higher education – what kind of education (in terms of purpose pedagogy and policy) is needed to restore the health and wellbeing of the planet and ourselves now and for generations to come? The book contains contributions from colleagues at a single UK University internationally recognised for its approach to sustainability education. Introducing a conceptual framework called the ‘Paradox Model’ the book explores the tensions that underpin the challenge of developing sustainability in higher education in the 21st century. It asks probing questions about the purpose of higher education in the 21st century given growing concerns in relation to planetary safety and justice and calls for a rethinking of educational purpose. It draws upon the theory and practice of education and explores how these can develop an understanding of sustainability pedagogies in practice. Finally it delivers thought-provoking discussion on what constitutes a ‘good’ higher education that meets the needs of a world in crisis. Drawing on a planetary health lens the book concludes with a ‘manifesto’ that brings together the key insights from the contributing authors. This will be an engaging volume for academics and educators from a wide range of disciplines in higher educational settings interested in translating sustainability theory into educational practice. | Good Education in a Fragile World The Value of a Collaborative and Contextualised Approach to Sustainability in Higher Education

The Guise of the Good A Philosophical History

This is the first book to trace the doctrine of the guise of the good throughout the history of Western philosophy. It offers a chronological narrative exploring how the doctrine was formulated the arguments for and against it and the broader role it played in the thought of different philosophers. In recent years there has been a rich debate about whether value judgment or value perception must form an essential part of mental states such as emotions and desires and whether intentional actions must always be done for reasons that seem good to the agent. This has sparked new theoretical interest in the classical doctrine of the guise of the good: whenever we desire (to do) something we see it under the guise of the good; that is we conceive of what we desire as good desirable or justified by reasons in some way or another. This book offers a systematic historical treatment of the guise of the good. The chapters span from Ancient and Medieval philosophy (Socrates Plato Aristotle Augustine and Aquinas) through the early modern period (Hobbes Spinoza Locke Hume and Kant) and up to Elizabeth Anscombe's rediscovery in the 20th century after a period of relative neglect. Together they demonstrate how history can offer potential new models of the guise of the good—or new arguments against it—as well as to give a sense of how the guise of the good can bear on other philosophical issues. The Guise of the Good: A Philosophical History is an excellent resource for scholars and students working on the history of ethics philosophy of action and practical reason. | The Guise of the Good A Philosophical History

Flood Hazard Mapping: Uncertainty and its Value in the Decision-making Process

Computers are increasingly used in the simulation of natural phenomena such as floods. However these simulations are based on numerical approximations of equations formalizing our conceptual understanding of flood flows. Thus model results are intrinsically subject to uncertainty and the use of probabilistic approaches seems more appropriate. Uncertain probabilistic floodplain maps are widely used in the scientific domain but still not sufficiently exploited to support the development of flood mitigation strategies. In this thesis the major sources of uncertainty in flood inundation models are analyzed resulting in the generation of probabilistic floodplain maps. The utility of probabilistic model output is assessed using value of information and the prospect theory. The use of these maps to support decision making in terms of floodplain development under flood hazard threat is demonstrated. | Flood Hazard Mapping: Uncertainty and its Value in the Decision-making Process

Freedom Responsibility and Value Essays in Honor of John Martin Fischer

This volume celebrates the career of John Martin Fischer whose work on a wide range of topics over the past 40 years has been transformative and inspirational. Fischer’s semicompatibilist view of free will and moral responsibility is perhaps the most widely discussed view of its kind and his emphasis on the significance of reasons-responsiveness as the capacity that underlies moral accountability has been widely influential. Aside from free will and moral responsibility Fischer is also well-known for his work on freedom and foreknowledge the problem of evil the badness of death the meaning of life and the allure of immortality. This volume gathers new essays by leading scholars on some of the major themes of Fischer's work and it also includes a new piece by Fischer in which he offers a systematic reflection on and defense of the motivations that have shaped his theorizing about moral responsibility. Freedom Responsibility and Value will be of interest to scholars and students working on a variety of issues in metaphysics ethics and philosophy of religion. | Freedom Responsibility and Value Essays in Honor of John Martin Fischer

A History of the Muslim World to 1405 The Making of a Civilization

Muslims first appeared in the early seventh century as members of a persecuted religious movement in a sun-baked town in Arabia. Within a century their descendants were ruling a vast territory that extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indus River valley in modern Pakistan. This region became the arena for a new cultural experiment in which Muslim scholars and creative artists synthesized and reworked the legacy of Rome Greece Iran and India into a new civilization. A History of the Muslim World to 1405 traces the development of this civilization from the career of the Prophet Muhammad to the death of the Mongol emperor Timur Lang. Coverage includes the unification of the Dar a1-Islam (the territory ruled by Muslims) the fragmentation into various religious and political groups including the Shi'ite and Sunni and the series of catastrophes in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that threatened to destroy the civilization.

Compensating Landowners in the Vicinity of Airports A Comparative Study of the Neighbour Conflict

The purpose of this book is to consider the neighbour conflict arising between airports and neighbouring owners of land particularly with residential uses as well as to assess the existing solutions applied to manage or resolve that conflict. The book explains why the neighbour conflict between the airport and landowners is of a particular kind and what legal instruments are applied to address it in an attempt to balance the interests of opposing parties. Readers will develop an understanding of how the law operates when damage is caused by a legal act of the government and what the limits of compensable loss are. In addition the reader will discover the economic foundations of possible solutions and why not all market losses are legally compensable. Key features of this book include: a consideration of key legal concepts such as neighbour law nuisance protection of property land use restrictions liability and compensation to inform a unique analysis of neighbour law in the context of conflict between airports and neighbouring landowners; practical guidance on an airport’s legal liability towards neighbouring landowners; a comparative analysis of airport’s liability compensation claims their scope and economic effects; a comparative overview of planning and environmental solutions applied in a variety of jurisdictions; a discussion of valuation methods and challenges when loss of property value is the measure of compensation. The Author’s intention is to promote conscious and civil relations among market participants as opposed to opportunistic and speculative behaviour. This book is important reading for lawyers academics PhD students and postgraduate students dealing with land use regulations environmental law compulsory purchase eminent domain and expropriation issues compensation for property restrictions as well as with aviation law and legal aspects of airport operations. | Compensating Landowners in the Vicinity of Airports A Comparative Study of the Neighbour Conflict

The Soviet System Models of a Political Society

Many things make up a modern society: its history culture natural setting wealth classes and peoples. For some the power structure the political system lies at the heart of the social order. Russia has long been a political society and its future may also be decided in large part by the power structure. A good way to understand Russia and other modern societies is to examine the ties between the Soviet system and the rest of the country's life. George Fischer argues that it is these ties that explain much about the consequences of a communist state. The Soviet System originally published in 1968 presents a provocative challenge to prevailing theories of modernization throughout the world. In this book Fischer takes issue with current assumptions that societies developing an advanced fully modern economy and culture must inevitably adopt Western-type social and political institutions. The author holds that our understanding of contemporary nations is impeded by assessing them in terms of the prevailing American theory of pluralism. The notion that a pluralist division of labor pervades all of modern society is challenged and tested in the context of the former Soviet Union as a modern society. The emergence of the dual executive a leader with a special mixture of political and economic know-how is emphasized as a trend toward a monist model of society. Fischer demonstrates how this model in which all power is public and both industry and culture remain part of a non-capitalist non-liberal state structure can prove useful in studying social change today. The result is a book of value to all scholars and students dealing with the social and political systems of both developing and advanced societies long after the Soviet system of rule dissolved. | The Soviet System Models of a Political Society

The Concept of a University

Taking on the challenge of the postmodernists of politics Kenneth Minogue argues forcefully and persuasively that the current dominant philosophies of education rest upon a mistake. The fashionable belief that the university is society's handmaiden is confronted by a view of the university as an institution with an independent vitality and function. Minogue at one and the same time reminds us of the sources of admiration for university life in the medieval world and how it rested squarely on its essential autonomy from the very social pressures that have come to define the modern university. The Concept of a University traces many confusions imposed by political ideology to a failure to distinguish academic inquiry from other kinds of intellectual activity such as journalism religious proselytizing and high quality propaganda. Minogue holds that where the university lacks a clear sense of the difference between the academic and the pragmatic its vitality is sapped by conflicting purposes. Much of the present debate about the crisis in universities rests upon a fundamental error of trying to fit them into some scheme of social functions. Minogue's analysis breaks through much muddled thinking on this subject presenting instead a coherent relevant and stimulating approach to higher education. In a new introduction Minogue tells us we have become frightfully tolerant. Anyone can become anything and we all belong to the one practical world of churning problems and solutions. There is no doubt that a new world is being born. It seems to be a world that will have little place for the disinterested pursuit of truth. A great deal of old fashioned scholarship survives-partly by silence cunning and exile' -in the universities' of the present day but little relationship remains between what we used to call universities' and the things called by that name today. Kenneth Minogue is professor emeritus of political science at the London School of Economics. He was born in New Zealand educated in Australia and has made his life and academic career in the United Kingdom. He is the author of The Liberal Mind Nationalism and most recently Democracy and the Moral Life. He is a director of the Centre for Policy Studies and also senior research fellow of the Bruges Group where he remains a member of its academic advisory council.
