Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche is a central figure in our modern understanding of the individual as freely determining his or her own values. These essays by leading Nietzsche scholars investigate what this freedom really means: How free are we really? What does it take to be free? It might be a 'right', but it also needs to be earned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Freedom’ is one of the most fiercely contested words in contemporary global experience. This book provides an up-to-date overview from an anthropological perspective of the diverse ways in which freedom is understood and practised in everyday life, including the emergent relationships between governance, autonomy and liberty. The contributors offer a wealth of ethnographic insight from a variety of geographic, cultural and political contexts. Taken together the essays constitute a radical challenge to assumptions about what freedom means in today’s world.

Download or read book Agency, Liberty, Autonomy written by Michael Garnett and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have two arguments against these views. The first is that neither can make proper sense of our interest in independence. This is because both understand restrictions on freedom in terms of reductions in one's option set, and it is possible to subject a person to one's will without restricting her options (for example, by altering her preference set). The second is that both rely on the coherence of the idea of deep agency, which I show to be incoherent. (The negative view of liberty does not rely on the idea directly, but is driven to it in an attempt to answer the first argument.) Deep agency theorists are unable, I argue, to explain what they mean by 'deep agency' in a non-circular way. There are two freedoms: liberty and autonomy. Liberty pertains to an agent's range of options: the extent of an agent's liberty is a matter of the alternatives open to her. Autonomy pertains to an agent's independence from others: the extent of an agent's autonomy is a matter of his lack of subjection to the control of other agents. My dissertation defends the dual nature of freedom, provides accounts of its two parts, and gives reasons for rejecting two widely-held rival views. The first of these rivals is the negative view of liberty: the idea that freedom is reduced only by impediments to choice imposed by other agents. The second is the deep agency view of autonomy: the idea that freedom consists in having a 'real' self, consisting in one's 'true' or 'authentic' purposes and values, which rules over the rest of oneself and determines one's behaviour. The first of these arguments motivates my account of autonomy: if we are to capture properly our interest in independence, we require a concept devoted to it alone. The second motivates my account of liberty: if there is no deep agency, then the account must be shallow and simple. I argue that these two concepts exhaust our interest in freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the author freedom is not a fixed measure. It is not the container of powers and rights defining an individual's role and identity. It is rather the outcome of a process whereby individuals continuously re-define the shape of their individuality. Freedom is everything that each of us manages to be in his or her active and uncertain opposition to external 'pressures'.

Book excerpt: At midnight on 14 August 1947, Britain's 350-year-old Indian Empire was broken into three pieces. The greatest mass migration in history began, as Muslims fled north and Hindus fled south, and Britain's role as an imperial power came to an end. Patrick French's vivid and surprising account of the chaotic final years of colonial rule in India has been acclaimed as the definitive book on this subject. Journeying across India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, he brings to life a cast of characters including spies, idealists, freedom fighters and politicians from Churchill to Gandhi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the relationship between different concepts of freedom and happiness. The book's authors distinguish three concepts for which an empirical measure exists: opportunity to choose (negative freedom), capability to choose (positive freedom), and autonomy to choose (autonomy freedom). They also provide a comprehensive account of the relationship between freedom and well-being by comparing channels through which freedoms affect quality of life. The book also explores whether the different conceptions of freedom complement or replace each other in the determination of the level of well-being. In so doing, the authors make freedoms a tool for policy making and are able to say which conception is the most effective for well-being, as circumstances change. The results have implications for a justification of a free society: maximizing freedoms is good for its favorable consequences upon individual well-being, a fundamental value for the judgment of human advantage.

Download or read book Personal Autonomy in Society written by Marina Oshana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are socially situated amid complex relations with other people and are bound by interpersonal frameworks having significant influence upon their lives. These facts have implications for their autonomy. Challenging many of the currently accepted conceptions of autonomy and of how autonomy is valued, Oshana develops a 'social-relational' account of autonomy, or self-governance, as a condition of persons that is largely constituted by a person’s relations with other people and by the absence of certain social relations. She denies that command over one's motives and the freedom to realize one's will are sufficient to secure the kind of command over one's life that autonomy requires, and argues against psychological, procedural, and content neutral accounts of autonomy. Oshana embraces the idea that her account is 'perfectionist' in a sense, and argues that ultimately our commitment to autonomy is defeasible, but she maintains that a social-relational account best captures what we value about autonomy and best serves the various ends for which the concept of autonomy is employed.

Download or read book Virtues of Independence and Dependence on Virtues written by Ludvig Beckman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debate about the concept of virtue is a persistent theme in academic discourse. One strand of thinking attempts to examine and reconstruct ethical theories with the aim of formulating a new morality or ethics. A second strand of thought, more strongly represented in this work, attempts to explore the social and political world deploying the concept of virtue. Thus, this volume crosses the established borders of academic disciplines in order to provide a richer and more comprehensive understanding of the place of virtues in contemporary western societies.The editors hold that the dominating virtue of our culture and society is the virtue of independence. Yet independence, or individual autonomy, is contingent upon a diverse, and so far ill-understood, set of cultural, biological, economic, ethical, and political practices. The idea of individuality is in other words supervening on a web of formal and informal relations. This volume therefore attempts to improve our understanding of the prevailing ethos of independence as well as of the mechanisms and practices sustaining it.Virtues are examined in specific contexts. Authors explore what we can learn about our dependence on virtues from the archaic Greek culture. They examine the relevance of virtue-ethics to the understanding of day-to-day practices. And they look at the place of virtues in understanding the norms of independence and liberty. Other contributions attend to the virtues of independence and its challenges, examining possible philosophical challenges, questioning whether independence is always a virtue, and how the virtues of justice fare given a commitment to the virtues of independence.The final portion of the book explore the empirical consequences of the virtues of independence. Among the questions addressed are how personal independence affects political and economic institutions, and the connections between norms of independence and the growth of modernity. This volume is an important contribution to contemporary understanding of what constitutes virtuous and ethical behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this volume forwards a particular theory of freedom and delves into the relationships between this view of freedom and issues of social justice. Exploring positive and negative implications of the idea of freedom and its interaction with social justice programs, Phillip Cole argues that the idea of freedom contributes substantially to the theory of social justice, rather than drawing limiting boundaries around it. Cole examines the concept of freedom in light of ability, autonomy, neutrality, equality, welfare and membership. At heart, his approach is based on the notion of 'entitlement' and assumes that all people are of equal moral and political weight, that all should receive the same consideration for the purpose of ethical and political questions.

Download or read book Autonomy and Long-term Care written by George J. Agich and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The realities and misconceptions of long-term care and the challenges it presents for the ethics of autonomy are analyzed in this perceptive work. While defending the concept of autonomy, the author argues that the standard view of autonomy as non-interference and independence has only a limited applicability for long-term care. He explains that autonomy should be understood as a comprehensiveness that defines the overall course of a person's life rather than as a way of responding to an isolated situation. Agich distinguishes actual and ideal autonomy and argues that actual autonomy is better revealed in the everyday experiences of long-term care than in dramatic, conflict-ridden paradigm situations such as decisions to institutionalize, to initiate aggressive treatments, or to withhold or to withdraw life-sustaining treatments. Through a phenomenological analysis of long-term care, he develops an ethical framework for it by showing how autonomy is actually manifest in certain structural features of the social world of long-term care. Throughout this timely work, the rich sociological and anthropological literature on aging and long-term care is referenced and the practical ethical questions of promoting and enhancing the exercise of autonomy are addressed.
