Book Synopsis The Alienated Mind (Routledge Revivals) by : David Frisby
Download or read book The Alienated Mind (Routledge Revivals) written by David Frisby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1983, with a second edition in 1992, investigates the emergence of the sociology of knowledge in Germany in the critical period from 1918 to 1933. These years witnessed the development of distinctive paradigms centred on the works of Max Scheler, Georg Lukács and Karl Mannheim. Each theorist sought to confront the base-superstructure models of the relationship between knowledge and society, which originated in Orthodox Marxism. David Frisbsy illustrates how these and other themes in the sociology of knowledge were contested through a detailed account of the central sociological debates in Weimar Germany. This reissue of The Alienated Mind will be of particular interest to students and academics concerned with the development of an important tradition in the sociology of knowledge and culture, social theory and German history.
Book Synopsis The Violence of Representation (Routledge Revivals) by : Nancy Armstrong
Download or read book The Violence of Representation (Routledge Revivals) written by Nancy Armstrong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, this collection of essays brings into focus the history of a specific form of violence – that of representation. The contributors identify representations of self and other that empower a particular class, gender, nation, or race, constructing a history of the west as the history of changing modes of subjugation. The essays bring together a wide range of literary and historical work to show how writing became an increasingly important mode of domination during the modern period as ruling ideas became a form of violence in their own right. This reissue will be of particular value to literature students with an interest in the concept of violence, and the boundaries and capacity of discourse.
Book Synopsis Nonsense upon Stilts (Routledge Revivals) by : Jeremy Waldron
Download or read book Nonsense upon Stilts (Routledge Revivals) written by Jeremy Waldron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Nonsense upon Stilts ̧ first published in 1987, Waldron includes and discusses extracts from three classic critiques of the idea of natural rights embodied in the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. Each text is prefaced by an historical introduction and an analysis of its main themes. The collection as a whole in introduced with an essay tracing the philosophical background to the three critiques as well as the eighteenth-century idea of natural rights which they attacked. But the point of reproducing these works is not merely historical. Modern attacks on ‘rights-based’ political philosophy mirror the concerns of Bentham, Burke and Marx. Jeremy Waldron has therefore added an extensive concluding essay which relates these classic texts to the modern discussion of rights and re-examines the idea of rights in the light of contemporary critiques. This text provides an invaluable teaching tool for courses in politics and philosophy.

Book Synopsis Rereading German History (Routledge Revivals) by : Richard J. Evans
Download or read book Rereading German History (Routledge Revivals) written by Richard J. Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rereading German History, first published in 1997, Richard J. Evans draws together his seminal review essays on the political, economic, cultural and social history of Germany through war and reunification. This book provides a study of how and why historians – mainly German, American, British and French – have provided a series of differing and often conflicting readings of the German past. It also presents a reconsideration of German history in the light of the recent decline of the German Democratic Republic, collapse of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany. Rereading German History re-examines major controversies in modern German history, such as the debate over Germany’s ‘special path’ to modernity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the discussions in the 1980s on the uniqueness or otherwise of Auschwitz. Evans also analyses the arguments over the nature of German national identity. The book offers trenchant and important analytical insights into the history of Germany in the last two centuries, and is ideal reading material for students of modern history and German studies.
Book Synopsis Feminism and Socialism in China (Routledge Revivals) by : Elisabeth Croll
Download or read book Feminism and Socialism in China (Routledge Revivals) written by Elisabeth Croll and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978, Feminism and Socialism in China explores the inter-relationship of feminism and socialism and the contribution of each towards the redefinition of the role and status of women in China. In her history of the women’s movement in China from the late nineteenth century onwards, Professor Croll provides an opportunity to study its construction, its ideological and structural development over a number of decades, and its often ambiguous relationship with a parallel movement to establish socialism. Based on a variety of material including eye witness accounts, the author examines a wide range of fundamental issues, including women’s class and oppression, the relation of women’s solidarity groups to class organisations, reproduction and the accommodation of domestic labour, women in the labour process, and the relationship between women’s participation in social production and their access to and control of political and economic resources. The book includes excerpts from studies of village and communal life, documents of the women’s movement and interviews with members of the movement.
