Book Synopsis Evil in Joint Action by : Hans Bernhard Schmid
Download or read book Evil in Joint Action written by Hans Bernhard Schmid and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-19 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joining insights from social science and philosophy, this book offers a nuanced view on the discourse of evil, which has been on the rise in the West in recent years. Exploring the famous ‘Pear Theft’ episode in St Augustine’s Confessions, it looks beyond the theological implications of the event to focus instead on the secular insights that it offers when the event is placed in the context of social thought. With attention to Augustine’s lengthy reflections on a seemingly marginal episode, the author contends that it is possible to discern the elements of a convincing account of intentional evil action, the Pear Theft representing a case of joint radical improvisation that lacks collective deliberation. As such, a new perspective emerges on familiar and more intuitive forms of evil in joint action that involve group identification and institutional action. Evil in Joint Action will appeal to scholars of sociology, social theory and philosophy with interests in ethics, collective action and concepts of evil.
Book Synopsis Social Capital, Social Identities by : Dieter Thomä
Download or read book Social Capital, Social Identities written by Dieter Thomä and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research on social capital tends to focus on an economic reading of social relations. Whereas economists pride themselves on reaching out to social theory at-large, sociologists criticize the economization of the social fabric. The concept of social capital serves as a touchstone for the study of the role of the economy in modern societies. It serves as a breach for expanding the reach of economic categories, yet it also yields the opportunity for questioning and transforming economic premises in the light of social theory and philosophy. Exploring the concept of social capital in the context of related terms like embeddedness, trust, sociability, and cooperation is particularly instructive. This collection of papers from various disciplines (philosophy, sociology, economics, religious studies) combines conceptual studies and empirical findings. It is a plea for re-embedding economic thought in a broader theoretical framework. By exploring the varieties of social identities implied in the theories of social capital, the authors argue for a social (or more sociable) conception of man.
Book Synopsis Evil Matters by : Zachary J. Goldberg
Download or read book Evil Matters written by Zachary J. Goldberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an inquiry into particular matters concerning the nature, normativity, and aftermath of evil action. It combines philosophical conceptual analysis with empirical studies in psychology and discussions of historical events to provide an innovative analysis of evil action. The book considers unresolved questions belonging to metaethical, normative, and practical characteristics of evil action. It begins by asking whether Kant’s historical account of evil is still relevant for contemporary thinkers. Then it addresses features of evil action that distinguish it from mundane wrongdoing, thereby placing it as a proper category of philosophical inquiry. Next, the author inquires into how evil acts affect moral relationships and challenge Strawsonian accounts of moral responsibility. He then draws conceptual and empirical connections between evil acts such as genocide, torture, and slavery and collective agency, and asks why evil acts are often collective acts. Finally, the author questions both the possibility and propriety of forgiveness and vengeance in the aftermath of evil and discusses how individuals ought to cope with the pervasiveness of evil in human interaction. Evil Matters: A Philosophical Inquiry will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in philosophy working on the concept of evil, moral responsibility, collective agency, vengeance, and forgiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A companion series to the acclaimed Word Biblical Commentary. Finding the great themes of the books of the Bible is essential to the study of God's Word and to the preaching and teaching of its truths. These themes and ideas are often like precious gems: they lie beneath the surface and can only be discovered with some difficulty.

The Word Biblical Themes series helps readers discover the important themes of a book of the Bible. This series distills the theological essence of a given book of Scripture and serves it up in ways that enrich the preaching, teaching, worship, and discipleship of God's people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All humans share the same sets of emotions, physical needs, and feelings--fear and sorrow, courage and joy, aspirations and hopelessness, pessimism and optimism, resilience and surrender, repulsiveness and affinity, and the basic needs of thirst and hunger, shelter, and health care. In all of these, the most negatively impacted are the lives of the masses by the rhetoric, misdeeds, and crimes of party politicians on both sides of the political divide everywhere The masses feel helpless, but hope lies in the presence of conscientious individuals who uphold values and who find the courage and the will to voice out and act on behalf of the common men and women. And there are those who take on leadership roles with the objective of securing a better environment for their people. In And the Meek Shall Inherit Earth, author Ghazali PH Kho offers a series of essays exploring these issues and how to create a better society. From July of 2012 through June of 2014, the collection looks at a wide array of world geopolitical subjects including global denuclearization, media freedom versus personal privacy, social media as tools for crimes against humanity, and native ancestral lands and development. Insightful and intellectual, Kho presents a rational look at the many topics of concern for the masses of today.

Book Synopsis Social Robots in Social Institutions by : R. Hakli
Download or read book Social Robots in Social Institutions written by R. Hakli and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social institutions emerge from social practices which coordinate activities by the explicit statement of rules, goals, and values. When artificial social actors are introduced into the physical and symbolic space of institutions, will this affect or transform institutional structures and practices, and how can social robotics as an interdisciplinary endeavor contribute to the ability of our institutions to perform their functions in society? This book presents the proceedings of Robophilosophy 2022, the 5th in the biennial Robophilosophy conference series, held in Helsinki, Finland, from 16 to 19 August 2022. The theme of this edition of the conference was Social Robots in Social Institutions, and it featured international multidisciplinary research from the humanities and social sciences concerning social robotics. The 63 papers, 41 workshop papers and 5 posters included in this book are divided into 4 sections: plenaries, sessions, workshops and posters, with the 41 papers in the ‘Sessions’ section grouped into 13 subdivisions including elderly care, healthcare, law, education and art, as well as ethics and religion. These papers explore the anticipated conceptual and practical changes which will come about from the introduction of social robotics into public and private institutions, such as public services, legal systems, social and healthcare services or educational institutions. Offering an exploration of the societal significance of social robots for the future of social institutions, the book will be of interest to both researchers in robotics and to those working in social institutions and enterprises.
