Making Architecture Through Being Human A Handbook of Design Ideas

Making Architecture Through Being Human A Handbook of Design Ideas

Architecture can seem complicated mysterious or even ill-defined especially to a student being introduced to architectural ideas for the first time. One way to approach architecture is simply as the design of human environments. When we consider architecture in this way there is a good place to start – ourselves. Our engagement in our environment has shaped the way we think which we in turn use to then shape that environment. It is from this foundation that we produce meaning make sense of our surroundings structure relationships and even frame more complex and abstract ideas. This is the start of architectural design. Making Architecture Through Being Human is a reference book that presents 51 concepts notions ideas and actions that are fundamental to human thinking and how we interpret the environment around us. The book focuses on the application of these ideas by architectural designers to produce meaningful spaces that make sense to people. Each idea is isolated for clarity in the manner of a dictionary with short and concise definitions examples and illustrations. They are organized in five sections of increasing complexity or changing focus. While many of the entries might be familiar to the reader they are presented here as instances of a larger system of human thinking rather than simply graphic or formal principles. The cognitive approach to these design ideas allows a designer to understand the greater context and application when aligned with their own purpose or intentions. | Making Architecture Through Being Human A Handbook of Design Ideas

States Human Rights and Distant Strangers The Normative Justification of Extraterritorial Obligations in Human Rights Law

States Human Rights and Distant Strangers The Normative Justification of Extraterritorial Obligations in Human Rights Law

This book combines legal and philosophical perspectives to address the question of whether states are bound by human rights when they act with effects on people abroad—states’ extraterritorial human rights obligations. Taking an innovative approach it begins with a profound legal analysis of the issue at national supranational and international levels and then engages in depth with counterarguments against extraterritorially applying human rights on the basis of which it develops its own ethical justificatory theory of extraterritorial human rights obligations. The book closes the circle by showing what the practical implications of this theory for the interpretation (and possible evolvement) of human rights law would be. In a world where critiques of and resistance to the general idea of universal human rights are on rise the book contributes to closing the gap between judicial and normative perspectives on extraterritorial human rights obligations by inquiring into the ethical underpinnings of this topical legal challenge. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students in human rights international law and more broadly in political philosophy philosophy of law and international relations.

Being Human Psychological Perspectives on Human Nature

Being Human Psychological Perspectives on Human Nature

While there may be no one single characteristic that differentiates humans as a species it is the combination of differences from other species that makes us unique. The new edition of Being Human examines the psychology of being human through exploring different psychological traditions alongside philosophy and evolutionary theory covering themes such as culture cognition language morality and society. Our nature – or ‘essence’ – is something that has preoccupied human beings throughout our history beginning with philosophy and religion and continuing through the biological social and psychological sciences. Being Human begins by describing some of the major philosophical accounts of human nature from Ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle to major British and Continental philosophers such as Locke and Nietzsche. The book considers religious accounts of human nature with their focus on the nature of good and evil and scientific accounts of genetics and the brain which underpin the distinctively human cognitive ability of language. Attention then turns to the ideas of the behaviourists such as Skinner Freud and other psychodynamic psychologists and humanistic-phenomenological psychologists such as Maslow. Finally human culture is discussed as the ultimate defining characteristic of human beings: culture represents our ‘natural habitat’ and what defines us as a species. This updated second edition includes increased coverage of social psychology and has a broader scope in order to identify the defining characteristics of human beings. With reference to current psychological research and philosophical material this is fascinating reading for students of psychology philosophy and the social sciences. | Being Human Psychological Perspectives on Human Nature

Actualizing Human Rights Global Inequality Future People and Motivation

Actualizing Human Rights Global Inequality Future People and Motivation

This book argues that ultimately human rights can be actualized in two senses. By answering important challenges to them the real-world relevance of human rights can be brought out; and people worldwide can be motivated as needed for realizing human rights. Taking a perspective from moral and political philosophy the book focuses on two challenges to human rights that have until now received little attention but that need to be addressed if human rights are to remain plausible as a global ideal. Firstly the challenge of global inequality: how if at all can one be sincerely committed to human rights in a structurally greatly unequal world that produces widespread inequalities of human rights protection? Secondly the challenge of future people: how to adequately include future people in human rights and how to set adequate priorities between the present and the future especially in times of climate change? The book also asks whether people worldwide can be motivated to do what it takes to realize human rights. Furthermore it considers the common and prominent challenges of relativism and of the political abuse of human rights. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of human rights political philosophy and more broadly political theory philosophy and the wider social sciences.
