Download or read book Jane Addams s Evolutionary Theorizing written by Marilyn Fischer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jane Addams’s Evolutionary Theorizing, Marilyn Fischer advances the bold and original claim that Addams’s reasoning in her first book, Democracy and Social Ethics, is thoroughly evolutionary. While Democracy and Social Ethics, a foundational text of classical American pragmatism, is praised for advancing a sensitive and sophisticated method of ethical deliberation, Fischer is the first to explore its intellectual roots. Examining essays Addams wrote in the 1890s and showing how they were revised for Democracy and Social Ethics, Fischer draws from philosophy, history, literature, rhetoric, and more to uncover the array of social evolutionary thought Addams engaged with in her texts—from British socialist writings on the evolution of democracy to British and German anthropological accounts of the evolution of morality. By excavating Addams’s evolutionary reasoning and rhetorical strategies, Fischer reveals the depth, subtlety, and richness of Addams’s thought.

Download or read book The Ethics of Democracy written by Lucio Cortella and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legal regulations and formal rules of democracy alone are not enough to hold a society together and govern its processes. Yet the irreducible ethical pluralism that characterizes contemporary society seems to make it impossible to impose a single system of values as a source of social cohesion and identity reference. In this book, Lucio Cortella argues that Hegel's theory of ethical life can provide such a grounding and makes the case through an analysis of Hegel's central political work, the Philosophy of Right. Although Hegel did not support democratic political ends and wrote in a historical and cultural context far removed from the current liberal-democratic scene, Cortella maintains that the Hegelian theory of ethical life, with its emphasis on securing a framework conducive to human freedom, nevertheless offers a convincing response to the problem of the ethical uprootedness of contemporary democracy.

Book excerpt: "Democracy and Social Ethics" by Jane Addams is a pioneering work in the field of social ethics and political philosophy. Published in 1902, it reflects Addams' profound insights into the social and political issues of her time and her commitment to promoting social justice and democracy. The book is a collection of essays that critically examines various aspects of American society, including poverty, inequality, gender roles, immigration, and the ethical responsibilities of individuals and communities. Addams draws on her experiences as a social reformer and the founder of Hull House, a settlement house in Chicago dedicated to serving immigrant communities and addressing urban poverty. One of the central themes of "Democracy and Social Ethics" is the idea that democracy is not merely a political system but a moral and social ideal that requires active participation and empathy from all members of society. Addams argues that true democracy cannot exist in a society marked by economic inequality and social injustice, and she calls for a more inclusive and compassionate approach to governance. Addams also challenges traditional notions of gender roles and highlights the importance of women's participation in public life and social reform. She emphasizes the interconnectedness of social issues and the need for a holistic approach to addressing them, rooted in empathy, cooperation, and mutual respect. Throughout the book, Addams advocates for a more ethical and humane society, where the well-being of all members is prioritized over individual interests and profit. She offers practical solutions to social problems, such as labor reform, education reform, and the promotion of grassroots activism. "Democracy and Social Ethics" remains a seminal work in the fields of social ethics and political philosophy, inspiring generations of activists and scholars to work towards a more just and democratic society. Addams' emphasis on the moral dimensions of democracy and the importance of social solidarity continues to resonate today, making her book a timeless classic.

Download or read book In Our Name written by Eric Anthony Beerbohm and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a government in a democracy acts in our name, are we, as citizens, responsible for those acts? What if the government commits a moral crime? The protestor's slogan--"Not in our name!"--testifies to the need to separate ourselves from the wrongs of our leaders. Yet the idea that individual citizens might bear a special responsibility for political wrongdoing is deeply puzzling for ordinary morality and leading theories of democracy. In Our Name explains how citizens may be morally exposed to the failures of their representatives and state institutions, and how complicity is the professional hazard of democratic citizenship. Confronting the ethical challenges that citizens are faced with in a self-governing democracy, Eric Beerbohm proposes institutional remedies for dealing with them. Beerbohm questions prevailing theories of democracy for failing to account for our dual position as both citizens and subjects. Showing that the obligation to participate in the democratic process is even greater when we risk serving as accomplices to wrongdoing, Beerbohm argues for a distinctive division of labor between citizens and their representatives that charges lawmakers with the responsibility of incorporating their constituents' moral principles into their reasoning about policy. Grappling with the practical issues of democratic decision making, In Our Name engages with political science, law, and psychology to envision mechanisms for citizens seeking to avoid democratic complicity.

Download or read book The Common Cause written by Leela Gandhi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europeans and Americans tend to hold the opinion that democracy is a uniquely Western inheritance, but in The Common Cause, Leela Gandhi recovers stories of an alternate version, describing a transnational history of democracy in the first half of the twentieth century through the lens of ethics in the broad sense of disciplined self-fashioning. Gandhi identifies a shared culture of perfectionism across imperialism, fascism, and liberalism—an ethic that excluded the ordinary and unexceptional. But, she also illuminates an ethic of moral imperfectionism, a set of anticolonial, antifascist practices devoted to ordinariness and abnegation that ranged from doomed mutinies in the Indian military to Mahatma Gandhi’s spiritual discipline. Reframing the way we think about some of the most consequential political events of the era, Gandhi presents moral imperfectionism as the lost tradition of global democratic thought and offers it to us as a key to democracy’s future. In doing so, she defends democracy as a shared art of living on the other side of perfection and mounts a postcolonial appeal for an ethics of becoming common.

Download or read book Democracy and Social Ethics written by Jane Addams and published by . This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, Jane Addams, a pioneering figure in the realms of social reform and activism, delves deep into the heart of societal structures, examining the intricate interplay between democracy and social ethics. As the founder of Hull House, a renowned settlement house in Chicago, Addams dedicated her life to addressing the pressing social issues of her time, from poverty and inequality to women's rights and peace activism. With keen insight and unwavering conviction, she navigates the complexities of a world teetering on the precipice of change, drawing from her own experiences as a tireless advocate for the marginalized and disenfranchised. She unveils the stark realities faced by communities on the fringes of society, shedding light on the pervasive injustices that threaten the very fabric of democracy. Jane Addams's profound impact on society was not confined to the local sphere. Her tireless efforts to promote peace and social justice reverberated on the global stage, earning her the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. She was the first American woman to receive the award. This recognition cemented her status as a towering figure in the pantheon of social reformers, a beacon of hope for those striving to create a more equitable world. Addams asserts that mere passive belief in the inherent dignity of all human beings falls short. Instead, she contends that individuals must actively engage in the daily effort to eliminate racial, gender, class, and other biases from their personal relationships. Democracy and Social Ethics is not merely a book-it is a call to arms, a manifesto for change in a world yearning for justice. Addam's words resonate with a timeless urgency, challenging readers to confront the moral imperatives of our time and to forge a future where democracy and social ethics intertwine to create a more compassionate world for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When do governments merit our allegiance, and when should they be denied it? Ian Shapiro explores this most enduring of political dilemmas in this innovative and engaging book. Building on his highly popular Yale courses, Professor Shapiro evaluates the main contending accounts of the sources of political legitimacy. Starting with theorists of the Enlightenment, he examines the arguments put forward by utilitarians, Marxists, and theorists of the social contract. Next he turns to the anti-Enlightenment tradition that stretches from Edmund Burke to contemporary post-modernists. In the last part of the book Shapiro examines partisans and critics of democracy from Plato’s time until our own. He concludes with an assessment of democracy’s strengths and limitations as the font of political legitimacy. The book offers a lucid and accessible introduction to urgent ongoing conversations about the sources of political allegiance.
