Book Synopsis The Radical Choice and Moral Theory by : Zhenming Zhai
Download or read book The Radical Choice and Moral Theory written by Zhenming Zhai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a crisp, original style the author approaches the crucial question of moral theory, the `is--ought' problem via communicative argumentation. Moving to the end of Habermas's conception of the communicative action, he introduces the concept of `radical choice' as the key to the transition from the descriptive to the normative. Phenomenological subjectivity of the intersubjective life-world is being vindicated as the `arch-value' of all derivative values, or the first principle for all normative precepts. With exceptional acumen and mastery of the philosophical argument, the author -- a young native Chinese lately trained in a Western university -- delineates a fascinating route along which the philosophical question of justification raised in the analytic tradition can be answered on the basis of phenomenology. A noteworthy contribution to the interplay between the Anglo--American and Continental schools of philosophy.

Book Synopsis The Idea of European Islam by : Mohammed Hashas
Download or read book The Idea of European Islam written by Mohammed Hashas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suspicions about the integration of Islam into European cultures have been steadily on the rise, and dramatically so since 9/11. One reason lies in the visibility of anti-Western Islamic discourses of salafi origin, which have monopolized the debate on the "true" Islam, not only among Muslims but also in the eyes of the general population across Europe; these discourses combined with Islamophobic discourses reinforce the so-called incompatibility between the West and Islam. This book breaks away from this clash between Islam and the West, by arguing that European Islam is possible. It analyzes the contribution that European Islam has made to the formation of an innovative Islamic theology that is deeply ethicist and modern, and it clarifies how this constructed European Islamic theology is able to contribute to the various debates that are related to secular-liberal democracies of Western Europe. Part I introduces four major projects that defend the idea of European Islam from different disciplines and perspectives: politics, political theology, jurisprudence and philosophy. Part II uses the frameworks from three major philosophers and scholars to approach the idea of European Islam in the context of secular-liberal societies: British scholar George Hourani, Moroccan philosopher Taha Abderrahmane and the American philosopher John Rawls. The book shows that the ongoing efforts of European Muslim thinkers to revisit the concept of citizenship and political community can be seen as a new kind of political theology, in opposition to radical forms of Islamic thinking in some Muslim-majority countries. Opening a new path for examining Islamic thought "in and of" Europe, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Islamic Studies, Islam in the West and Political Theology.

Book Synopsis Robots Won't Save Japan by : James Wright
Download or read book Robots Won't Save Japan written by James Wright and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robots Won't Save Japan addresses the Japanese government's efforts to develop care robots in response to the challenges of an aging population, rising demand for eldercare, and a critical shortage of care workers. Drawing on ethnographic research at key sites of Japanese robot development and implementation, James Wright reveals how such devices are likely to transform the practices, organization, meanings, and ethics of caregiving if implemented at scale. This new form of techno-welfare state that Japan is prototyping involves a reconfiguration of care that deskills and devalues care work and reduces opportunities for human social interaction and relationship building. Moreover, contrary to expectations that care robots will save labor and reduce health care expenditures, robots cost more money and require additional human labor to tend to the machines. As Wright shows, robots alone will not rescue Japan from its care crisis. The attempts to implement robot care instead point to the importance of looking beyond such techno-fixes to consider how to support rather than undermine the human times, spaces, and relationships necessary for sustainably cultivating good care.
Book Synopsis The Francophone African Text by : Kwaku Addae Gyasi
Download or read book The Francophone African Text written by Kwaku Addae Gyasi and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the African writer and the language of the former colonial power, The Francophone African Text: Translation and the Postcolonial Experience highlights the writer's re-appropriation of the foreign language in the creative writing process. It calls attention to the African writer's use of French, a process of creative translation in which the writer's words form a hybrid code that compels the original French to refer to the indigenous African language for meaning. Examining a group of works under the theme of translation, this book reveals that a consideration of both ideological and linguistic elements enhances understanding of the subject from the broader perspective of postcolonial discourse.
Book Synopsis Études de linguistique générale by : Gilbert Lazard
Download or read book Études de linguistique générale written by Gilbert Lazard and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La typologie des langues est aujourd'hui une dicipline en plein essor. Ce volume reunit les articles les plus importants produits par l'auteur au cours de quelque vingt-cinq ans d'exploration des langues les plus diverses. Ces etudes abordent quelques questions fondamentales: nature des categories grammaticales, classes de mots, syntaxe de la proposition, definition du sujet et de l'objet, temps, aspect et mode, articulation theme-rheme, quete des universaux, problemes methodologiques et terminologiques. L'option theorique se situe resolument dans la tradition saussurienne et s'inspire de la pensee d'Emile Benveniste. Dans cet esprit, l'article initial, d'orientation epistemologique, presente la typologie comme une voie susceptible de rapprocher la linguistique du statut d'une veritable science. Gilbert Lazard est professeur honoraire a la Sorbonne et membre de l'Institut. Ses travaux se partagent entre l'etude des langues iraniennes et la linguistique generale. Il est notamment l'auteur d'une Grammaire du persan contemporain, d'un ouvrage sur L'actance et, en collaboration, d'une description de la Structure de la langue tahitienne.
