Music Science Philosophy Models in the Universe of Thought

Music Science Philosophy Models in the Universe of Thought

This book stresses the interrelatedness of knowledge by extricating models that cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries. For example science can find models from the technology and semantic field of music music can find its models from the technology and semantic field of science and each domain may be guided by a philosophical or metaphysical principle - thus the title of the book. But the book itself is structured as a mirror image of its title. Chapters 1-6 provide instances of the role of music in such domains as epistemology and logic as well as in the early modern sciences of developmental biology continuum mechanics anatomy and physiological psychology whereas Chapters 7-10 provide instances of what some other domains of knowledge have given back to the philosophy and theory of music. | Music Science Philosophy Models in the Universe of Thought

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period provides a comprehensive analysis of the course of right-wing politics in the country in the last 40 years. In 1983 after the fall of a violent military regime Argentina began the longest period of democratic stability in its history—40 years marked by economic institutional social and political crises. This book examines the trajectory of the different right-wing organisations and ideological developments during these years seeking to understand both the distinctions and the continuities that lie beneath its metamorphoses. Argentina has always acted as a laboratory in which to appreciate how the major problems and questions that concern those who have studied the right-wing in recent decades are translated into a particular political culture. In an international scenario marked by the social and political growth of different right-wing movements some of which pose a threat to liberal democracies the study of the Argentine case can provide greater clarity and a different perspective on problems that transcend this specific national case. This book will be of interest to scholars of Argentinian and Latin American politics and history as well as specialists on the comparative politics of the radical right. | Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Cosmological Fine-Tuning Arguments What (if Anything) Should We Infer from the Fine-Tuning of Our Universe for Life?

Cosmological Fine-Tuning Arguments What (if Anything) Should We Infer from the Fine-Tuning of Our Universe for Life?

If the physical constants initial conditions or laws of nature in our universe had been even slightly different then the evolution of life would have been impossible. This observation has led many philosophers and scientists to ask the natural next question: why is our universe so fine-tuned for life? The debates around this question are wide-ranging multi-disciplinary complicated technical and (at times) heated. This study is a comprehensive investigation of these debates and the many metaphysical and epistemological questions raised by cosmological fine-tuning. Waller’s study reaches two significant and controversial conclusions. First he concludes that the criticisms directed at the multiverse hypothesis by theists and at the theistic hypothesis by naturalists are largely unsuccessful. Neither of these options can plausibly be excluded. Choosing between them seems to turn on primitive (and so hard to justify) metaphysical intuitions. Second in order to break the philosophical deadlock Waller moves the debate from the level of universes to the level of possible worlds. Arguing that possible worlds are also fine-tuned in an important and interesting sense Waller concludes that the only plausible explanation for the fine-tuning of the actual world is to posit the existence of some kind of God-like-thing. | Cosmological Fine-Tuning Arguments What (if Anything) Should We Infer from the Fine-Tuning of Our Universe for Life?

The Lion and the Unicorn What England Has Meant to Scotland

The Lion and the Unicorn What England Has Meant to Scotland

Originally published in 1935 and authored by a supporter of Scottish Nationalism this book ascribes many of Scotland’s misfortunes in history to the sectarian wars and those of Edward I as well as the havoc wrought by the Industrial Revolution and the decay of Scotland’s successive cultures. Reduced to political impotence by the early 20th Century and severed from that contact with Europe which fostered its early culture the author feels its national life dwindled. Many of the themes surrounding Scottish identity and independence are once again part of today’s political debate. | The Lion and the Unicorn What England Has Meant to Scotland

Social Media and Education Now the Dust Has Settled

Social Media and Education Now the Dust Has Settled

Social media are now established as an important aspect of contemporary education. We live in times where social media applications such as Facebook Twitter Tumblr and Snapchat are mainstream educational tools; where most new educational technologies claim to have a ‘social’ element; and it increasingly makes no sense to distinguish between learning ‘online’ and ‘offline’. It studies users' experiences and views of social media; addresses questions of equality and diversity concerning who is doing what with social media; examines how the use of social media applications sits alongside pre-existing cultures and structures of schooling; and brings to light the unintended and unexpected results of social media in education. Altogether this collection of writing provides a nuanced and interesting discussion of the realities of social media use across different aspects of education. This book was originally published as a special issue of Learning Media and Technology. | Social Media and Education Now the Dust Has Settled

William James's Hidden Religious Imagination A Universe of Relations

William James's Hidden Religious Imagination A Universe of Relations

This book offers a radical new reading of William James’s work on the idea of ‘religion. ’ Moving beyond previous psychological and philosophical interpretations it uncovers a dynamic imaginative and critical use of the category of religion. This work argues that we can only fully understand James’s work on religion by returning to the ground of his metaphysics of relations and by incorporating literary and historical themes. Author Jeremy Carette develops original perspectives on the influence of James’s father and Calvinism on the place of the body and sex in James on the significance of George Eliot’s novels and Herbert Spencer’s ‘unknown ’ revealing a social and political discourse of civil religion and republicanism and a poetic imagination at the heart of James understanding of religion. These diverse themes are brought together through a post-structural sensitivity and a recovery of the importance of the French philosopher Charles Renouvier to James’s work. This study pushes new boundaries in Jamesian scholarship by reading James with pluralism and from the French tradition. It will be a benchmark text in the reshaping of James and the nineteenth-century foundations of the modern study of ‘religion. ’ | William James's Hidden Religious Imagination A Universe of Relations

The Political Right and Equality Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity

The Political Right and Equality Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity

McManus presents an intellectual history of the conservative and reactionary tradition stretching from Aristotle and Filmer to Alexander Dugin and Patrick Deneen. Providing a comprehensive critical genealogy of the intellectual political right McManus traces its core to a nostalgia for the hierarchical cosmos of antiquarian and scholastic thinking. The yearning for a shared vision of the universe where each part of reality has its place maps onto the conservative admiration for orderly political and social stratification. It stamps even the more moderate forms of liberal conservatism which emerged in the aftermath of the revolutionary 18th century as the political right struggled to accept and later master first the politics of liberal capitalism and later universal suffrage. In its most radical forms this nostalgia for an orderly and hierarchical existence can harden into a resentment at the perceived shallowness of liberal modernity. McManus argues for those who support the project of modernity to commit themselves to better understanding the depth of the political right’s critiques many of which expose uncomfortable but solvable problems with the quest for equality and freedom. A critical guide to the history of conservative and reactionary thought for students and scholars of political science and political history. While there are a lot of competing explanations for the contemporary rise of right-wing forces Matt McManus’ new book suggests that it is hostility to equality that actually unites the right. Zeroing in on key intellectuals and writers McManus in a sharply written text offers a compelling explanation for the disproportionate intensity of right-wing grievance politics. | The Political Right and Equality Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

This book examines why the United States has introduced safeguards that are designed to prevent their counterterrorism policies from causing harm to non-US citizens beyond US territory. It investigates what made US policymakers take steps to put the gloves back on through five case studies on the emergence of such safeguards related to the right not to be tortured the right not to be arbitrarily detained the right to life (in connection with targeted killing operations) the right to seek asylum (in connection with refugee resettlement) and the right to privacy (in connection with foreign mass surveillance). The book exposes two mechanisms – coercion and strategic learning – which explain why the United States has introduced what the authors refer to as extraterritorial human rights safeguards thus demonstrating that the emerging norm that states have human rights obligations towards foreigners beyond their borders constrains policy choices. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of human rights counterterrorism US foreign policy human rights law and more broadly to political science and international relations.
