Ethics Value and Reality

2008ref. BK-R9XFUYTransaction Publishers 2008. 2008 Transaction. Softcover. collectible_like_new. Collectors copy - unread - like new Ethics Value and Reality is a collection of essays written after Kolnai settled in England in 1955. These essays from Kolnai's mature years sit atop a remarkable gestation of moral and political thinking. At the heart of his thought is the special role of privilege in a good social order. Kolnai relies heavily on the work of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century value theorists such as Alexius Meinong Nicolai Hartmann and Max Scheler. He blends this continental tradition of ethics with British intuitionism and Scottish Enlightenment articulations. For Kolnai ethical life cannot be adequately understood except by reference to moral emphasis and thus Kolnai can be thought of as a liberal conservative. He acknowledges myriad values moral and non-moral and accepts that all can have some claim upon us. Low values as much as high values have a legitimate claim. His is a tolerant conservatism though not for a moment does he forgo the necessity of judgment: a readily graspable hierarchy keeps the respective demands of values in proportion. Kolnai welcomes the call to seriousness which is the hallmark of existentialism. The ground of Kolnai's thought is the idea of emotion as cognitive. He saw the typical analytical philosopher's fascination with simplicity of explanation not only thoroughly refuted by the gains in understanding wrought by phenomenological method with its deference to the richness of phenomena but sensed in the monistic inclination he dreaded a harbinger of totalitarianism. Never denying his emotionalism he nonetheless made his points well enough by adopting an analytical approach to philosophy and ethics. This is a major work crossing moral and political philosophy. Aurel Kolnai 1900-1973 was Visiting Lecturer in Ethics at Bedford College at the University of London from 1959 until his death. He was best known for his moral philosophy. It combined elements of ethics with a unique phenomenological method. His methods contributed greatly to the fields of moral theory particularly in regards to responsibility and free will right and wrong the role of moral emotions and the universality of ethical norms. Bernard Williams 1929-2003 was Deutsch Professor of Philosophy at the University of California Berkeley. David Wiggins is Emeritus Wyckeham Professor of Logic at Oxford University. Graham McAleer is professor of philosophy and co-chair of the Catholic Social Thought Committee at Loyola College in Maryland. Transaction Publishers paperback

Twenty Years of Studying Democratization: Vol 1: Democratic Transition and Consolidation

ref. A9781138953727Paperback / softback. New. Democratization emerged at a time of epochal change in global politics: the twin impacts of the end of the Soviet Union and the speeding up and deepening of globalisation in the early 1990s meant a whole new ball game in terms of global political developments. The journal's first issue appeared in early 1994. Over time the editorial position has been consistently to focus on 'the third wave of democracy' and its aftermath. The third wave is the most recent exemplar of a long-term historical trend towards more democratically viable regimes and away from authoritarian systems and leaders. In short the journal wants to promote a better understanding of democratization - defined as the way democratic norms institutions and practices evolve and are disseminated both within and across national and cultural boundaries. Over the years the many excellent articles that we have featured in the journal have shared our focus on democratization viewed as a process. The journal has sought - and continues to seek - to build on the enduring scholarly and of course popular interest in democracy how and why it emerges develops and becomes consolidated. Our emphasis over the last 20 years has been contemporary and the approach comparative with a strong desire to be both topical and authoritative. We include special reference to democratization in the developing world and in post-communist societies. In sum just as 20 years ago the journal today aims to encourage debate on the many aspects of democratization that are of interest to policy-makers administrators and journalists aid and development personnel those involved in education and perhaps above all the tens of millions of ordinary people around the world who do not yet enjoy the benefits of living under democratic rule. The two dozen articles collected in this 'virtual' special issue are emphatic proof of the power of the written word to induce debate uncertainty and ultimately progress towards better forms of politics focused on the achievement of the democratic aspirations of men and women everywhere. paperback
