Book Synopsis Politische Theorie der Gegenwart in achtzehn Modellen by : Walter Reese-Schäfer
Download or read book Politische Theorie der Gegenwart in achtzehn Modellen written by Walter Reese-Schäfer and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band ist gedacht als knappes und übersichtliches Lehrbuch, das es ermöglichen soll, die Grundbegriffe der zeitgenössischen politischen Theorie und ihre wesentlichen Modelle in ihren theoretischen und philosophischen Grundlagen und in ihrem Spannungsverhältnis zueinander zu verstehen. Ein Großteil der hier versammelten Theorien versteht sich dabei als Gesellschaftskritik. Statt auf älteren Texten, die derselbe Autor in seinem Werk "Klassiker der politischen Ideengeschichte" präsentiert, liegt der Fokus dieses Bandes auf Theorien, die seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts entstanden sind. Ein wichtiges Auswahlprinzip für die in diesem Buch vertretenen Autoren wie Rorty, Lyotard und Hannah Arendt war, auch und gerade die Denkmodelle darzustellen, die im Mainstream der Politikwissenschaft und Gegenwartsphilosophie regelmäßig zu kurz kommen, obwohl sie mehr und Klügeres zu sagen haben als die Standardlektüre. Der Autor stellt 15 Modelle politischen Denkens vor, annotiert sie mit Primär- und weiterführender Literatur und regt seine Leser durch Fragen am Ende jedes Kapitels zum Mit- und Weiterdenken an. Zueinander in Beziehung setzt der Verfasser die Modelle, indem er sie im abschließenden Kapitel auf einer Skala mit den Endpunkten Individualismus und Kollektivismus einordnet, um so das Gesellschaftsbild der Theoretiker durch das Prisma des Liberalismus gebrochen zu illustrieren. Der Band richtet sich an Studierende der Politikwissenschaft und an politiktheoretischen Diskursen Interessierte. Die Erstausgabe wurde stark erweitert durch die Hinzufügung der Kapitel über Max Weber, Carl Schmitt, über Zygmunt Baumans Interpretation des Holocaust, durch die transkulturelle und postkoloniale politische Theorie sowie durch die Theorie der Postdemokratie. Dafür wurden die neoliberalen und marktradikalen Theoriekonzepte zusammengefasst. Das Rawls-Kapitel wurde um einen Abschnitt über sein letztes großes Werk, das „Recht der Völker“ erweitert und das Hannah-Arendt-Kapitel wurde erheblich ausgedehnt. Der Abschnitt über die Kritische Theorie wurden im Umfang verdreifacht, weil die Veröffentlichung der Vorlesungen Adornos aus den letzten zehn Jahren seiner Lehre in Frankfurt den lebendigen Eindruck seines Denkens vor dem Publikum in einer Offenheit zu vermitteln vermag, die dem Autor attraktiver erscheint als die durchformulierte Geschlossenheit seiner großen Werke.
Book Synopsis Die politischen Theorien der Gegenwart by : Klaus von Beyme
Download or read book Die politischen Theorien der Gegenwart written by Klaus von Beyme and published by Springer-Verlag. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese bewährte Einführung gibt einen systematischen Überblick über die politischen Theorien des 20. Jahrhunderts. Vom Standpunkt des Methodenpluralismus aus führt es in die Vielfalt und Dynamik politischer Theoriebildung ein. Es werden methodische Ansätze in Beziehung zu den großen metatheoretischen Schulen gesetzt. Die Grundbegriffe der Politik wie Staat, Macht, politisches System, politische Kultur, Demokratie, Pluralismus werden in ihrer Genesis analysiert und auf ihre Anwendbarkeit hin getestet. Das Buch hält die Mitte zwischen einem Szientismus, der Wissenschaft nur für Wissenschaftler treibt, und einer Common-Sense-Ideologie, die eine relative Unabhängigkeit wissenschaftlicher Theorie von Umgangssprache und Erlebnisinhalten nicht anerkennen will.
Book Synopsis Politische Theorie und Kritik by : Frederic Arning
Download or read book Politische Theorie und Kritik written by Frederic Arning and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Note: 1,7, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In diesem Forschungspapier wird - ausgehend von James Tullys "Politische Philosophie als kritische Praxis" - auf insgesamt 5 Seiten der Frage nach Rolle und Funktion der Kritik in der modernen politischen Theorie nachgegangen. Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde die Kritik im Zuge der Aufklärung zu einem Grundbegriff (Vgl. Hartmann/Offe 2011: 242) der politischen Theorie und hat diese Position bis heute inne. Vertreter_innen kritischer politischer Theorien streben die "Befreiung von der Ideologie, die den Akteuren den Blick auf ihre eigene Situation und ihre eigentlichen, mit dem status quo im Widerspruch stehende Interessen verstellt" (Hartmann/Offe 2011: 222) an. Zu einem besseren Verständnis werden anschließend in einem Überblick drei weitere Auffassungen von Kritik behandelt, auf welche sich James Tully zum Teil bezieht.
Book Synopsis Sociology in Germany by : Stephan Moebius
Download or read book Sociology in Germany written by Stephan Moebius and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book traces the development of sociology in Germany from the late 19th century to the present day, providing a concise overview of the main actors, institutional processes, theories, methods, topics and controversies. Throughout the book, the author relates the disciplines history to its historical, economic, political and cultural contexts. The book begins with sociology in the German Reich, the Weimar Republic, National Socialism and exile, before exploring sociology after 1945 as a key discipline of the young Federal Republic of Germany, and reconstructing the periods from 1945 to 1968 and from 1968 to 1990. The final chapters are devoted to sociology in the German Democratic Republic and the period from 1990 to the present day. This work will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, and to a general readership interested in the history of Germany. Stephan Moebius is Professor of Sociological Theory and Intellectual History at the University of Graz, Austria.
Book Synopsis International Handbook of Violence Research by : Wilhelm Heitmeyer
Download or read book International Handbook of Violence Research written by Wilhelm Heitmeyer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international manual is like a world cruise: a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the more reason to consider carefully whether it is necessary. This can hardly be the case if previous research in the selected field has already been the subject of an earlier review-or even several competing surveys. On the other hand, more thorough study is necessary if the intensity and scope of research are increasing without comprehensive assessments. That was the situation in Western societies when work began on this project in the summer of 1998. It was then, too, that the challenges emerged: any manual, espe cially an international one, is a very special type of text, which is anything but routine. It calls for a special effort: the "state of the art" has to be documented for selected subject areas, and its presentation made as compelling as possible. The editors were delighted, therefore, by the cooperation and commitment shown by the eighty-one contributors from ten countries who were recruited to write on the sixty-two different topics, by the con structive way in which any requests for changes were dealt with, and by the patient re sponse to our many queries. This volume is the result of a long process. It began with the first drafts outlining the structure of the work, which were submitted to various distinguished colleagues. Friedheim Neidhardt of Berlin, Gertrud Nunner-Winkler of Munich, and Roland Eckert of Trier, to name only a few, supplied valuable comments at this stage.
Book Synopsis Whistleblowing for Change by : Tatiana Bazzichelli
Download or read book Whistleblowing for Change written by Tatiana Bazzichelli and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The courageous acts of whistleblowing that inspired the world over the past few years have changed our perception of surveillance and control in today's information society. But what are the wider effects of whistleblowing as an act of dissent on politics, society, and the arts? How does it contribute to new courses of action, digital tools, and contents? This urgent intervention based on the work of Berlin's Disruption Network Lab examines this growing phenomenon, offering interdisciplinary pathways to empower the public by investigating whistleblowing as a developing political practice that has the ability to provoke change from within.
Download or read book Social Theory written by Hans Joas and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social theory is the theoretical core of the social sciences, clearly distinguishable from political theory and cultural analysis. This book offers a unique overview of the development of social theory from the end of the Second World War in 1945 to the present day. Spanning the literature in English, French and German, it provides an excellent background to the most important social theorists and theories in contemporary sociological thought, with crisp summaries of the main books, arguments and controversies. It also deals with newly emerging schools from rational choice to symbolic interactionism, with new ambitious approaches (Habermas, Luhmann, Giddens, Bourdieu), structuralism and antistructuralism, critical revisions of modernization theory, feminism and neopragmatism. Written by two of the world's leading sociologists and based on their extensive academic teaching, this unrivalled work is ideal both for students in the social sciences and humanities and for anyone interested in contemporary theoretical debates.
Book Synopsis Sociology, Capitalism, Critique by : Hartmut Rosa
Download or read book Sociology, Capitalism, Critique written by Hartmut Rosa and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three radical perspectives on the critique of capitalism For years, the critique of capitalism was lost from public discourse; the very word “capitalism” sounded like a throwback to another era. Nothing could be further from the truth today. In this new intellectual atmosphere, Sociology, Capitalism, Critique is a contribution to the renewal of critical sociology, founded on an empirically grounded diagnosis of society’s ills. The authors, Germany’s leading critical sociologists—Klaus Dörre, Stephan Lessenich, and Hartmut Rosa—share a conviction that ours is a pivotal period of renewal, in which the collective endeavour of academics can amount to an act of intellectual resistance, working to prevent any regressive development that might return us to neoliberal domination. The authors discuss key issues, such as questions of accumulation and expropriation; discipline and freedom; and the powerful new concepts of activation and acceleration. Their politically committed sociology, which takes the side of the losers in the current crisis, places society’s future well-being at the centre of their research. Their collective approach to this project is a conscious effort to avoid co-optation in the institutional practices of the academy. These three differing but complementary perspectives serve as an insightful introduction to the contemporary themes of radical sociology in capitalism’s post-crisis phase.

Book Synopsis Practicing Sovereignty by : Bianca Herlo
Download or read book Practicing Sovereignty written by Bianca Herlo and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital sovereignty has become a hotly debated concept. The current convergence of multiple crises adds fuel to this debate, as it contextualizes the concept in a foundational discussion of democratic principles, civil rights, and national identities: is (technological) self-determination an option for every individual to cope with the digital sphere effectively? Can disruptive events provide chances to rethink our ideas of society - including the design of the objects and processes which constitute our techno-social realities? The positions assembled in this volume analyze opportunities for participation and policy-making, and describe alternative technological practices before and after the pandemic.
Book Synopsis Society After Money by : Project Society After Money
Download or read book Society After Money written by Project Society After Money and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Society After Money is an interdisciplinary project between commons theory, evolutionary political economy, media studies and sociology, that enter into a dialogue with one another in order to look at their specific theories and criticisms of money. Conceived as the beginning of a necessary interdisciplinary dialogue, the possibilities of post-monetary forms of organization and production are taken into account and examined. On one hand there is a lot of talk about 'digital revolution', 'mediatized society', 'networks', 'Industry 4.0'. On the other hand the present is described in terms of crisis: 'financial crisis', 'economic crisis', 'planetary boundaries'. At once there is the description of a media-technological change along with massive social and ecological disruptions. Society After Money is based on the premise that there might be a conflict between digital media/digital technology and the medium of money – and perhaps new digital possibilities that allow alternative forms of economy. It criticizes what is normally seen as self-evident and natural, namely that social coordination has to be done by the medium of money. We're left with a highly innovative collection of contributions that initiates a broader social discourse on the role of money in the global society of the 21st century.
Download or read book The Sleepwalkers written by Hermann Broch and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his epic trilogy, The Sleepwalkers, Hermann Broch established himself as one of the great innovators of modern literature, a visionary writer-philosopher the equal of James Joyce, Thomas Mann, or Robert Musil. Even as he grounded his narratives in the intimate daily life of Germany, Broch was identifying the oceanic changes that would shortly sweep that life into the abyss. Whether he is writing about a neurotic army officer (The Romantic), a disgruntled bookkeeper and would-be assassin (The Anarchist), or an opportunistic war-deserter (The Relaist), Broch immerses himself in the twists of his characters' psyches, and at the same time soars above them, to produce a prophetic portrait of a world tormented by its loss of faith, morals, and reason.
Download or read book The Rebel Sell written by Joseph Heath and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With the incredible popularity of Michael Moore's books and movies, and the continuing success of anti-consumer critiques like ADBUSTERS and Naomi Klien's NO LOGO, it is hard to ignore the growing tide of resistance to the corporate-dominated world. But do these vocal opponents of the status quo offer us a real political alternative?" "In this work of cultural criticism, Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter shatter the central myth of radical political, economic and cultural thinking. The idea of a counterculture, a world outside the consumer-dominated one that encompasses us, pervades everything from the anti-globalization movement to feminism and environmentalism. And the idea that mocking the system, or trying to 'jam' it so it will collapse, they argue, is not only counterproductive but has helped to create the very consumer society that radicals oppose." "In a blend of pop culture, history and philosophical analysis, Heath and Potter offer a startling, clear picture of what a concern for social justice might look like without the confusion of the counterculture obsession with being different."--Book jacket.
Book Synopsis Max Weber in Politics and Social Thought by : Joshua Derman
Download or read book Max Weber in Politics and Social Thought written by Joshua Derman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Weber is widely regarded as one of the foundational thinkers of the twentieth century. But how did this reclusive German scholar manage to leave such an indelible mark on modern political and social thought? Max Weber in Politics and Social Thought is the first comprehensive account of Weber's wide-ranging impact on both German and American intellectuals. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Joshua Derman illuminates what Weber meant to contemporaries in the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany and analyzes why they reached for his concepts to articulate such widely divergent understandings of modern life. It also accounts for the transformations that Weber's concepts underwent at the hands of émigré and American scholars, and in doing so, elucidates one of the major intellectual movements of the mid-twentieth century: the transatlantic migration of German thought.
Book Synopsis On the Pragmatics of Social Interaction by : Jürgen Habermas
Download or read book On the Pragmatics of Social Interaction written by Jürgen Habermas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core of this book is a set of five lectures delivered by Habermas at Princeton in 1971 under the title 'Reflections on the Linguistic Foundation of Sociology'. These lectures offer a preliminary view of what would become The Theory of Communicative Action, and they form an excellent introduction to Habermas's ideas about communication and society. They lay out the general parameters of Habermas's project in an accessible way, and situate his work in relation to other theories of society, particularly those of Edmund Husserl, Wilfrid Sellars, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Two additional essays elaborating the themes of the lectures are also included in this volume. 'Intentions, Conventions, and Linguistic Interactions' is an essay in the philosophy of action that focuses on the validity of social norms and examines the conceptual connections between rules, conventions, norm-governed action, and intentionality. 'Reflections on Communicative Pathology' addresses the question of deviant processes of socialization and contains an analysis of the formal conditions of systematically distorted communication. This book was designed as a companion to On the Pragmatics of Communication (1998), which took pieces from Habermas's later work to create a systematic introduction to his theory of formal pragmatics.
Book Synopsis The Communicative Construction of Reality by : Hubert Knoblauch
Download or read book The Communicative Construction of Reality written by Hubert Knoblauch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume advocates a shift from the social constructivism found in the work of Thomas Luckmann and Peter Berger, to a communicative constructivism that acknowledges communication as an embodied form of action in its own right, according to which social actors, in engaging in communicative action, construct a material social reality that guides, delimits, and enables actions. A study of the importance of understanding the role of communication in an age in which digitization and mediatization have extended the reach of communication to a global level and brought about the emergence of the communication society, The Communicative Construction of Reality shows how communication society does not merely replace modern society and its hierarchical institutions, but complements it in a manner that continually results in conflicts leading to the refiguration of society. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in the sociology of knowledge, communication, and social theory.
