Book Synopsis Social Ends and Political Means (Routledge Revivals) by : Ted Honderich
Download or read book Social Ends and Political Means (Routledge Revivals) written by Ted Honderich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading British, American and European philosophers contribute to this collection of essays, first published in 1976, in political philosophy. They are essays which have to do in different ways with better societies than the ones we have, and with ways of getting them. They exemplify what can fairly be called real political philosophy. Its past makers have been Plato, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Hegel, Mill and Marx, and it consists in advocacy of certain social ends and of certain means, rather than uncommitted inquiry or comment. The advocacy is of a kind, of course, which depends on analysis and argument. The book will be of interest not only to those who are primarily concerned with philosophy, but students of politics as well.

A number of ideas and terms in it have become part of the standard vocabulary, such as the distinction between "ideal-regarding" and "want-regarding" principles and the division of principles into aggregative and distributive.

Download or read book Community and Ideology written by Raymond Plant and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 2009-11-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially published in 1974, this is a work of applied social and political philosophy which relates the philsophical analysis to various forms of community work theory and practice. Raymond Plant emphasizes that 'community' has a wide range of both descriptive meanings and evaluative connotations, linking this dual role of the word in the description and evaluation of social experience to its history in ideological confrontations. The book takes account of some liberal criticisms of the community ideal, and finally seeks to re-state a theory of community compatible with a liberal ideology.

Book Synopsis The Social Basis of Community Care (Routledge Revivals) by : Martin Bulmer
Download or read book The Social Basis of Community Care (Routledge Revivals) written by Martin Bulmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care for the elderly, disabled and mentally-ill within and by the community forms a vital part of current social policy. Martin Bulmer argues that this policy is inadequately thought out and rests on a series of poorly founded sociological assumptions. As a result there is a vacuum at the heart of government’s social care policy which is likely to lead to ineffective or deteriorating provision for those in need. This book, first published in 1987, will be essential reading for all those concerned with the organization and delivery of social care, whether as students, practitioners or teachers. It will be particularly useful for courses dealing with social policy, the personal social services and the social context of social work.
Book Synopsis Economic Efficiency and Social Welfare (Routledge Revivals) by : E. J. Mishan
Download or read book Economic Efficiency and Social Welfare (Routledge Revivals) written by E. J. Mishan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, Professor Mishan’s Economic Efficiency and Social Welfare: Selected Essays on Fundamental Aspects of the Economic Theory of Social Welfare is a collection of 22 pioneering essays written while the author was teaching at the London School of Economics and chosen to indicate landmarks in the development of his own thought. Professor Mishan, who also enjoys an international reputation as a popular writer on the impact of modern economic growth on social welfare, is among the foremost authorities in the field of resource allocation, and his influence in his subject area has been profound. Mishan’s essays, while generally accessible to the layman due to the author’s lucidity, his economy in the use of mathematical notation and his concern with perspective, are invaluable reading for the economics undergraduate. The essays are particularly relevant to upper level students of project appraisal, welfare economics and cost benefit analysis requiring a coherent survey of their field of study.
Book Synopsis Philosophy in Social Work by : Noel Timms
Download or read book Philosophy in Social Work written by Noel Timms and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978, Philosophy in Social Work is a collection of papers that invites reflective consideration of the philosophical issues arising out of social work. The work stemmed from a series of meetings at the University of Glasgow, designed to encourage philosophers to look at traditional problems raised in the comparatively unfamiliar setting of social work and social service, and for social workers to see the place for philosophical reflection on what they are doing. Among the subjects discussed in the collection are discretion, rights, charity and the Welfare State, the morality of law and the politics of probation, authority and the social workers, and social work and ideology. The underlying theme of all the papers is the away in which philosophy can revive discussion of beliefs and values in social work. It also asks philosophers to intensify their treatment of concrete issues of social significance.
