The Birth of Ethics Phenomenological Reflections on Life’s Beginnings

From the time of conception through the gestation of pregnancy to the birth of a newborn child exists an extraordinary emergent ethics. How does this ethics come into being when a child is conceived?

Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Renée Moreau Cunningham’s unique study utilizes the psychology of C. G. Jung and the spiritual teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. to explore how nonviolence works psychologically as a form of spiritual warfare confronting and transmuting aggression. Archetypal Nonviolence uses King’s iconic march from Selma to Montgomery a demonstration which helped introduce America to nonviolent philosophy on a mass scale as a metaphor for psychological and spiritual activism on an individual and collective level. Cunningham’s work explores the core wound of racism in America on both a collective and a personal level investigating how we hide from our own potential for evil and how the divide within ourselves can be bridged. The book demonstrates that the alchemical transmutation of aggression through a nonviolent ethos as shown in the Selma marches is important to understand as a beginning to something greater within the paradox of human violence and its bedfellow nonviolence. Archetypal Nonviolence explores how we can truly transform hatred by understanding how it operates within. It will be of great interest to Jungian analysts and analytical psychologists in practice and in training and to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies American history race and racism and nonviolent movements. | Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive In Theory the Clinic and Art

Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive In Theory the Clinic and Art

Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive is a highly accessible book that investigates the relevance complexity and originality of a hugely controversial Freudian concept which the author argues continues to exert enormous influence on modernity and plays an often-imperceptible role in the violence and so-called sad passions of contemporary society. With examples from cinema literature and the consulting room the book’s four chapters – theory the clinic art and contemporaneity – investigate every angle usually little explored of the death drive: its positive functions such as its contribution to subjectification; its ambiguous relationship with sublimation; the clues it provides about transgenerational matters; and its effects on the feminine. This is not a book about aggression a type of extroflection of the death drive made visible studied and striking; rather it is about the derivatives of the pulsion that changes in the clinic in life in society in artistic forms. With bold and innovative concepts and by making connections to film and books Rossella Valdrè unequivocally argues that the contemporary clinic is a clinic of the death drive. Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive seeks to relaunch the debate on a controversial and neglected concept and will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists. Today’s renewed interest in the Freudian death drive attests to its extraordinary ability to explain both new pathologies and socio-economic phenomena. | Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive In Theory the Clinic and Art

The Humanitarian Machine Reflections from Practice

The Humanitarian Machine Reflections from Practice

As the world reels from the impact of a global pandemic and increasing intensity of climate-caused hazards the humanitarian sector has never been more relevant. But providing aid to those affected by disasters and crises is more complex than ever. In The Humanitarian Machine aid workers reflect on their own experiences of working in crisis.

Each speaks from their own perspective asking tough questions sharing thoughtful reflections about their ongoing work and unpacking what it really means to be a humanitarian worker. The stories they tell whether recounting a specific experience or reflecting on years of practice reveal the dilemmas they face and demystify the overly romanticized aura that sometimes surrounds humanitarian practice.

Viewed together in this way the insights and reflections provided in this book will be invaluable for humanitarian practitioners students and researchers alike. | The Humanitarian Machine Reflections from Practice

Reflections on the 2019 South African General Elections Quo Vadis?

Reflections on the 2019 South African General Elections is a critical reflection on the key lessons of Elections 2019 in South Africa focusing on the future of the country’s electoral democracy. The volume engages questions on land election campaigns voter turnout voter apathy and how opposition parties will be forced to co-exist in the context of declining electoral dominance the ANC once comfortably held. An important reflection on the lessons of the 2019 South African General Elections the contributors ask: Quo Vadis South Africa? The 2019 General Elections marked a watershed in South Africa’s political landscape. The ANC under the banner of a narrative of regeneration and getting back on the moral path dipped below the 60 % mark for the first time in South Africa’s democratic history. This decline in electoral support for the party may be interpreted as a degeneration of the ANC through the loss of its moral stature the erosion of its integrity and disillusionment with its performance as a governing party. Opposition political parties could not capitalise on this seeming disillusionment with the ruling ANC. Caught in their own factional battles and in the midst of corruption scandals opposition parties were unable to successfully increase their share of the vote and capture the undecided and disillusioned voter. Considering the future of South Africa’s electoral democracy at 25 years of democracy Reflections on the 2019 South African General Elections will be of great interest to scholars of African Studies South Africa Governance and Elections. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Politikon: South African Journal of Political Studies. | Reflections on the 2019 South African General Elections Quo Vadis?

An Analysis of Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France

An Analysis of Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France

Edmund Burke’s 1791 Reflections on the Revolution in France is a strong example of how the thinking skills of analysis and reasoning can support even the most rhetorical of arguments. Often cited as the foundational work of modern conservative political thought Burke’s Reflections is a sustained argument against the French Revolution. Though Burke is in many ways not interested in rational close analysis of the arguments in favour of the revolution he points out a crucial flaw in revolutionary thought upon which he builds his argument. For Burke that flaw was the sheer threat that revolution poses to life property and society. Sceptical about the utopian urge to utterly reconstruct society in line with rational principles Burke argued strongly for conservative progress: a continual slow refinement of government and political theory which could move forward without completely overturning the old structures of state and society. Old state institutions he reasoned might not be perfect but they work well enough to keep things ticking along. Any change made to improve them therefore should be slow not revolutionary. While Burke’s arguments are deliberately not reasoned in the ‘rational’ style of those who supported the revolution they show persuasive reasoning at its very best. | An Analysis of Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France

Reflections on the Modern and the Global

Reflections on the Modern and the Global

Over the past five hundred years historians and other social scientists have perceived an extraordinary occurance: the transition from the Middle Ages via the Renaissance to modernity. Equally remarkable has been the transition taking place in the last fifty years from modernity to globalization a period marked by increasing interdependency and interconnectivity as evidenced by events such as the advent of the computer. Bruce Mazlish argues that in order to understand ourselves in the world today we need to know more about the nature of both concepts. Mazlish discusses the transition in terms of reflections. Rather than adding to the enormous amount of archival research that already exists he instead examines slices of modernity the way of seeing the sense of self for example as if under a microscope. He sees modernity as strongly marked by its insistence on freedom of political and religious thought and the rights of man (later expanded to include women). Such changes did not happen all at once but as a gradual development. While some prefer to contemplate the transition from the modern to the global as a continuous seamless development Mazlish argues that post-WWII developments are best understood in terms of a break or a rupture. Illustrating that the process was further accelerated by the computer revolution and the launching of artificial satellites Mazlish places the events of 1989 in the framework of globalization. He concludes by inquiring further into the significance of the transition from modernity to globalization and its impact upon thought and identity. | Reflections on the Modern and the Global

An Analysis of Henry Kissinger's World Order Reflections on the Character of Nations and the Course of History

An Analysis of Henry Kissinger's World Order Reflections on the Character of Nations and the Course of History

Henry Kissinger’s 2014 book World Order: Reflections on the Character of Nations and the Course of History not only offers a summary of thinking developed throughout a long and highly influential career–it is also an intervention in international relations theory by one of the most famous statesmen of the twentieth century. Kissinger initially trained as a university professor before becoming Secretary of State to President Richard Nixon in 1973 – a position in which he both won the Nobel Peace Prize and was accused of war crimes by protesters against American military actions in Vietnam. While a controversial figure Kissinger is widely agreed to have a unique level of practical and theoretical expertise in politics and international relations – and World Order is the culmination of a lifetime’s experience of work in those fields. The product of a master of the critical thinking skill of interpretation World Order takes on the challenge of defining the worldviews at play in global politics today. Clarifying precisely what is meant by the different notions of ‘order’ imagined by nations across the world as Kissinger does highlights the challenges of world politics and sharpens the focus on efforts to make surmounting these divisions possible. While Kissinger’s own reputation will likely remain equivocal there is no doubting the interpretative skills he displays in this engaging and illuminating text. | An Analysis of Henry Kissinger's World Order Reflections on the Character of Nations and the Course of History
