The Utopian Human Right to Science and Culture Toward the Philosophy of Excendence in the Postmodern Society

The Utopian Human Right to Science and Culture Toward the Philosophy of Excendence in the Postmodern Society

This book explores the question of whether the ideal right to science and culture exists. It proposes that the human right to science and culture is of a utopian character and argues for the necessity of the existence of such a right by developing a philosophical project situated in postmodernity based on the assumption of ’thinking in terms of excendence’. The book brings a novel and critical approach to human rights in general and to the human right to science and culture in particular. It offers a new way of thinking about access to knowledge in the postanalogue postmodern society. Inspired by twentieth-century critical theorists such as Levinas Gadamer Bauman and Habermas the book begins by using excendence as a way of thinking about the individual speech and text. It considers paradigms arising from postanalogue society revealing the neglected normative content of the human right to science and culture and proposes a morality dignity and solidarity situated in a postmodern context. Finally the book concludes by responding to questions on happiness dignity and that which is social. Including an Annex which presents the author’s private project related to thinking in the context of the journey from ’myth to reason’ this book is of interest to researchers in the fields of philosophy and the theory of law human rights intellectual property and social theory. | The Utopian Human Right to Science and Culture Toward the Philosophy of Excendence in the Postmodern Society

Global Heating and the Australian Far Right

Global Heating and the Australian Far Right

Global Heating and the Australian Far Right examines the environmental politics of far-right actors and movements in Australia exploring their broader political context and responses to climate change. The book traces the development of far-right pseudo-environmentalism and territorial politics from colonial genocide and Australian nationalism to extreme-right political violence. Through a critical analysis of news and social media it reveals how denialist and resignatory attitudes towards climate change operate alongside extreme right accelerationism in a wider Australian political context characterised by reactionary fossil fuel politics and neoliberal New Right climate change agendas. The authors scrutinise the manipulation of environmental politics by contemporary Australian far- and extreme-right actors in cross-national online media. They also assess the political-ideological context of the contemporary far right addressing intergovernmental approaches to security threats connected to the far right and climate change and the emergence of radical environmentalist traditions in ‘New Catastrophism’ literature. The conclusion synthesises key insights analysing the mainstreaming of ethnonationalist and authoritarian responses to global heating and potential future trajectories of far-right movements exploiting the climate crisis. It also emphasises the necessity for radical political alternatives to counter the far right’s exploitation of climate change. This book will be of interest to researchers of climate change the far right neoliberal capitalism extremism and Australian politics.

The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia–Ukraine Conflict provides a comprehensive account of the postwar parliamentary and extra parliamentary far right in Italy. This book explores the ideology movements and activism of the extreme right and neo- fascists. The recent victory in the Italian parliamentary elections of the ‘post-fascist’ party Fratelli d’Italia and its leader Giorgia Meloni highlights the importance of such research. The book examines why some of these movements participated with CIA- backing in the ‘Strategy of Tension’ in the years of the Cold War where terrorist actions aimed to keep Italy in NATO and prevent the Communist Party from coming to power while other extreme- right groups vehemently opposed this and what they considered the dangerous ‘Americanization’ of the country. It debunks the myth that there was a unified postwar fascist movement in Italy but instead excavates the complex battles within the extreme right as well as with their opponents from the left and the authorities. This study is necessary to clarify the history and ideological dynamics of a political area still too often shrouded in mystery and whose geopolitical role is still poorly understood and generally underestimated. The analysis is contextualized in the present day by looking at the different perspectives of the Italian far right on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The book will be of interest to researchers of political history the Cold War and Italian history and politics. | The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
