Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Swearwords have an almost magical power to shock and offend. What explains this What can we learn when we take a close, serious look at swearwords and how they work What do we find when we explore, for example, what exactly it is we're doing when we swear, or why people are more tolerant of f\*\*\*--when they know full well what it stands for--than they are of the swearword it refers to Philosopher Rebecca Roache takes readers on an illuminating and entertaining search for answers to these and other puzzling questions about swearing. As she argues, swearing is uniquely powerful because unlike other etiquette breaches it is designed to offend. But that is not all that swearing can do. It has the power to bring people together, help them accept one another, and relate to one another as equals.

Buch
Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume presents two closely related essays by Thomas Nagel: 'Gut Feelings and Moral Knowledge,' discusses the value of intuitions in understanding human rights and argues against subjectivist and reductionist accounts of morality of the kind offered by evolutionary psychology or based on brain scans. The second essay, 'Moral Reality and Moral Progress,' proposes an account of the historical development of moral truth, according to which it does not share the timelessness of scientific truth. This is because moral truth must be based on reasons that are accessible to the individuals to whom they apply, and such accessibility depends on historical developments. The result is that only some advances in moral knowledge are discoveries of what has been true all along.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

Drawing on seven months of fieldwork, Ruth Moon argues that, not only is the force of globalization inadequate to shift practice in a local context, but it in fact serves to reinforce local practices and boundaries, highlighting the limits of globalization to effect change.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - George Orwell: The Ethics of Equality is the first book written by a philosopher about George Orwell's philosophy, especially his ethics. Orwell is sometimes understood to be profoundly disinterested in philosophy, but he had much to say about philosophical matters, including humanism, the good life, free will and moral responsibility, equality, liberty, justice, and more. Peter Brian Barry examines all of Orwell's collected works, including his fiction, journalism, essays, book reviews, diaries, and correspondence to make the case for Orwell's relevance as a philosophical thinker.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Coined in the middle of the nineteenth century, the term 'voodoo' has been deployed largely by people in the U.S. to refer to spiritual practices--real or imagined--among people of African descent. 'Voodoo' is one way that white people have invoked their anxieties and stereotypes about Black people--to call them uncivilized, superstitious, hypersexual, violent, and cannibalistic. In this book, Danielle Boaz explores public perceptions of 'voodoo' as they have varied over time, with an emphasis on the intricate connection between stereotypes of 'voodoo' and debates about race and human rights.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Policing Empires, Julian Go offers a postcolonial historical sociology of police militarization in Britain and the United States. He tracks when, why, and how British and US police departments have adopted military tactics, tools, and technologies for domestic use. Using both secondary and primary archival sources, Go reveals that police militarization has occurred since the very founding of modern policing. This book thereby unlocks the dirty secret of police militarization: Police have brought the imperial boomerang home to militarize themselves in response to perceived racialized threats from minority and immigrant populations.

It offers the first analytical case study of a Holocaust victim society that explains human behavior in extremis, and demonstrates how prisoners created new social hierarchies, reshaped their conceptions of family, and developed new loyalties. Based on extensive research in archives around the world and empathetic reading of victim testimonies, this history of everyday life in a prisoner society reveals the many forms of agency and adaptation in Nazi concentration camps and ghettos.
