Download or read book Apologia Socrates written by Plato and published by BASABASI. This book was released on 1971 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apologia Socrates berisi catatan pidato yang dibuat Socrates di persidangan ketika dia dituduh tidak mengakui dewa-dewa yang diakui negara, menciptakan dewa-dewa baru, dan merusak para pemuda Athena. Namun, ucapan Socrates sama sekali berbeda dengan "permintaan maaf" dalam pemahaman kita saat ini. Nama dialog berasal dari bahasa Yunani yang berarti pertahanan, atau pidato yang dibuat sebagai pembelaan. Dengan demikian, dalam Apologia, Socrates berusaha untuk membela diri dan perilakunya - tentu saja tidak meminta maaf untuk itu. Buku ini dilengkapi dengan sebuah interpretasi kontroversial dan segar atas Apologia Socrates. Dengan memainkan perhatian intim yang tak biasa terhadap apa yang Socrates tunjukkan atas makna dan hakikat dari ironinya, David Leibowitz sampai pada kesimpulan eksentrik tentang ajaran Socrates atas kebajikan, politik, dan dewa-dewa; keterkenalannya yang beralih dari filsafat alam menuju filsafat politik; dan tujuan atas “orasi pembelaannya” yang kurang ajar. Leibowitz menunjukkan bahwa Socrates bukan sekadar figur unik dan pusparagam dari masa lalu, melainkan juga penunjuk menuju hidup yang baik—kehidupan bijaksana—yang sangat relevan untuk masa sekarang sebagaimana saat di Athena kuno. Berdasar pada pemahaman segarnya atas dialog-dialog Socrates secara umum, dan cerita Orakel Delphi secara khusus, Leibowitz berusaha untuk menunjukkan bahwa Apologia adalah kunci untuk menuju korpus Platonik, mengindikasikan betapa banyaknya tema yang berbeda dan kesimpulan yang tampak saling bertentangan dari dialog-dialog lainnya yang justru saling bertautan.
Download or read book The rhetoric of Pope John Paul II written by Joseph R. Blaney and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope John Paul II was clearly one of the most influential persons of the 20th Century. He affected the world of politics, religion, and culture with a rhetorical zeal unmatched by few actors on the international stage. From the downfall of communism in Eastern Europe to his devotion to Mary to his championing of social justice and orthodox theology, this book examines his several moments of persuasive finesse as well as instances when his message could have been crafted more effectively. The essays in this collection examine his persuasive skills from several scholarly points of view. The book also offers analyses of media portrayals of this often-controversial figure. With contributions from some of the world's leading communication scholars, clergy, and social activists, this book is must reading for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of religious communication in general and John Paul II's rhetorical papacy in particular. Written by Catholics, Protestants, Mormons, agnostics, and atheists, the chapters approach the Pope with varying degrees of admiration, but always with intellectual respect.
Download or read book The Rhetoric of Official Apologies written by Lisa S. Villadsen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-23 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rhetoric of Official Apologies: Critical Essays focuses on the many challenges associated with performing a speech act on behalf of a collective and the concomitant issues of rhetorically tackling the multiple political, social, and philosophical issues at stake when a collective issues an official apology to a group of victims. Contributors address questions of whether collective remorse is possible or credible, how official apologies can be evaluated, who can issue apologies on behalf of whom, and whether there are certain kinds of wrongdoing that simply can’t be addressed in the form of an official apology. Collectively, the book speaks to the relevance of conceptualizing official apologies more broadly as serving multiple rhetorical purposes that span ceremonial and political genres and represent a potentially powerful form of collective self-reflection necessary for political and social advancement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical consideration of the apology in politics. It provides a detailed overview of all aspects of the phenomenon of the apology made by states, which has increased significantly since the mid-1980s. It is the product of a decade’s research and reflection on the subject and thus provides a complete coverage of all the key debates and features. States of apology evaluates the relationship between the personal apology and the apology in politics, the political and cultural factors behind its emergence and the philosophical problems generated by the state apologising and in particular the question of responsibility across generations. The book also considers the dynamics of domestic apologies and the relationship of the apology to the field of international relations. It is written in a clear and jargon-free style which will make it accessible to both students and non-students alike.
Download or read book Race and Reconciliation written by John B. Hatch and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this enlightening and insightful book, John B. Hatch analyzes various public discourses that have attempted to address the racialized legacy of slavery, from West Africa to the United States, and in doing so, proposes a rhetorical theory of reconciliation. Recognizing the impact of religious traditions and modern social values on the dialogue of reconciliation, Hatch examines these influences in tandem with contemporary critical race theory. Hatch explores the social-psychological and ethical challenges of racial reconciliation in light of work by Mark McPhail, Kenneth Burke, Paul Ricoeur, and others. He then develops his own framework for understanding reconciliation-both as the recovery of a coherent ethical grammar and as a process of rhetorical interaction and hermeneutic reorientation through apology, forgiveness, reparations, symbolic healing, and related genres of reparative action. What emerges from this work is a profound vision for the prospects of meaningful redress and reconciliation in American race relations. Book jacket.

Download or read book Counter Terrorism Laws and Freedom of Expression written by Téwodros Workneh and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As nations have aggressively implemented a wide range of mechanisms to proactively curb potential threats terrorism, Counter-Terrorism Laws and Freedom of Expression: Global Perspectives offers critical insight into how counter-terrorism laws have adversely affected journalism practice, digital citizenship, privacy, online activism, and other forms of expression. While governments assert the need for such laws to protect national security, critics argue counter-terrorism laws are prone to be misappropriated by state actors who use such laws to quash political dissent, target journalists, and restrict other forms of citizen expression. The book is divided into three parts. Part I deals with the politics and discourse of counter-terrorism laws. Part II focuses on the ways counter-terrorism laws have impacted journalistic practice in different countries, with effects ranging from imprisonment of reporters to self-censorship. Part III addresses how counter-terrorism laws have been used to target everyday citizens, social media activists, whistleblowers, and human rights advocates around the world. Together, the chapters address how counter-terrorism laws have undermined democratic values in both authoritarian and liberal political contexts. Scholars of political science, communication, and legal studies will find this book particularly interesting.
Download or read book Public Apology between Ritual and Regret written by Barbara Segaert and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s we witness a rise in public apologies. Are we living in the ‘Age of Apology’? Interesting research questions can be raised about the opportunity, the form, the meaning, the effectiveness and the ethical implications of public apologies. Are they not merely a clever and easy device to escape real and tangible responsibility for mistakes or wrong done? Are they not at risk to become well-rehearsed rituals that claim to express regret but, in fact, avoid doing so? In a joint interdisciplinary effort, the contributors to this book, combining findings from their specific fields of research (legal, religious, political, linguistic, marketing and communication studies), attempt to articulate this tension between ritual and sincere regret, between the discourse and the content of apologies, between excuses that pretend and regret that seeks reconciliation.

Download or read book Constantino el primer emperador cristiano Religi n y pol tica en el siglo IV written by Josep Vilella Masana and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La victoria de Constantino en la batalla del Puente Milvio adquirió gran trascendencia casi desde el mismo año 312, principalmente porque cristianos y paganos la relacionaron con su conversión a la Christianitas. Desde entonces, la conducta procristiana del monarca comportó relevantes cambios en el registro histórico, entre los que destacan el apoyo tutelado a las iglesias y, en general, el fenómeno de la «cristianización» del mundo antiguo. Vinculados al congreso internacional que se celebró en Barcelona y Tarragona del 20 al 24 de marzo de 2012 para conmemorar el 1700.º aniversario de tal efeméride, los estudios que conforman este volumen examinan diferentes y complementarias cuestiones relativas a la trayectoria de este poliédrico emperador y aspectos político-religiosos de su época, prestando asimismo atención a los «Constantinos» mostrados por el ingente y secular acervo documental alusivo a su figura. En el análisis y la contextualización del proceder de Constantino, resulta axial su actuación en el ámbito confesional, caracterizada tanto por el favor al cristianismo como por la conservación de la tradición pagano-imperial, aunque más empobrecida. Mediante una atenta valoración crítica de los testimonios existentes, el presente libro profundiza en la dimensión histórica y legendaria de un personaje clave en el paso del poder pagano al poder cristiano y, en consecuencia, fundamental en el decurso del Imperio romano y de nuestra Europa, en la cual el cristianismo sigue manteniendo un notable protagonismo.
Download or read book Freedom and Democracy in an Imperial Context written by Robert Nichols and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom and Democracy in an Imperial Context: Dialogues with James Tully gathers leading thinkers from across the humanities and social sciences in a celebration of, and critical engagement with, the recent work of Canadian political philosopher James Tully. Over the past thirty years, James Tully has made key contributions to some of the most pressing questions of our time, including: interventions in the history of moral and political thought, contemporary political philosophy, democracy, citizenship, imperialism, recognition and cultural diversity. In 2008, he published Public Philosophy in a New Key, a two-volume work that promises to be one of the most influential and important statements of legal and political thought in recent history. This work, along with numerous other books and articles, is foundational to a distinctive school of political thought, influencing thinkers in fields as diverse as Anthropology, History, Indigenous Studies, Law, Philosophy and Political Science. Critically engaging with James Tully’s thought, the essays in this volume take up what is his central, and ever more pressing, question: how to enact democratic practices of freedom within and against historically sedimented and actually existing relationships of imperialism?
Download or read book Emotional Diplomacy written by Todd H. Hall and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional Diplomacy explores the politics of expressed emotion on the international stage, looking at the ways state actors strategically deploy emotional behavior to manipulate the perceptions of others. By examining diverse instances of emotional behavior, Todd H. Hall reveals that official emotional displays play an integral role in the strategies and interactions of state actors. Emotional diplomacy is more than rhetoric; as this book demonstrates, its implications extend to the provision of economic and military aid, great-power cooperation, and the use of armed force. Hall investigates three strands of emotional diplomacy: those rooted in anger, sympathy, and guilt. His research, drawn on sources and interviews in five different languages, provides new insights into the 1995–1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis, the post-9/11 reactions of China and Russia, and relations between West Germany and Israel after World War II. Emotional Diplomacy offers a unique take on the intersection of strategic action and emotional display, a means for understanding why states behave emotionally. Hall provides the theoretical tools necessary for understanding the nature and significance of state-level emotional behavior through new observations of how states seek reconciliation, strategically respond to unforeseen crises, and demonstrate resolve in the face of perceived provocations.
