Book Philosophy  Ethics  and Politics

Download or read book Philosophy Ethics and Politics written by Paul Ricoeur and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this series of interviews and dialogues which took place between 1981 and 2003, Paul Ricoeur addresses some of the central questions of political philosophy and ethics: justice, violence, war, the environmental crisis, the question of evil, ethical and political action in the polis. Philosophical issues are brought to bear on present-day concerns and the practical realities of contemporary politics. How can the philosopher speak about politics without claiming superior insight or a higher order of knowledge? Ricoeur distinguishes three levels of society: ‘tools’ (modes of production and the accumulation of technology), ‘institutions’ (which are tied to national cultures) and ‘values’ (which claim to be universal). The philosopher’s task is to probe each of these levels and open up spaces for reflection, criticism and democratic deliberation. It is to explore the paradoxes of the political rather than invoking certainties dictated by conscience. Just as there no longer exists a grand narrative about the past, so too there is no longer any utopia capable of projecting the desired future. What remains is human creativity, which marks the source common to the institutional frameworks that are already present and the horizons that extend beyond them. The philosopher’s engagement lies in the promise to revive this source at the very moment it appears to dry up under the weight of the real. This volume of interviews and dialogues with one of the most important French philosophers of the post-war period will be of interest to anyone interested in the great political and ethical questions of our time.

Book Conflits des interpr  tations dans la soci  t   de l information     thique et politique de l environnement  Trait   des sciences et techniques de l information

Download or read book Conflits des interpr tations dans la soci t de l information thique et politique de l environnement Trait des sciences et techniques de l information written by CHARDEL Pierre-Antoine and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La montée des préoccupations environnementales coïncide avec la facilité d'accès à des éléments de connaissance qui sont censés favoriser une perception plus aiguë des problématiques écologiques. Or, cela ne suffit pas à générer des comportements plus responsables envers la nature et les générations à venir. Il est nécessaire de reconsidérer la question environnementale à l'heure de nouvelles médiations informationnelles pour pouvoir composer un monde commun avec une pluralité de régimes d'attention. Les analyses transdisciplinaires qui composent cet ouvrage abordent ensemble les conflits interprétatifs relatifs aux problèmes environnementaux et les environnements médiatiques, dans toute leur hétérogénéité et leur nouveauté. L'analyse de l'exposition des subjectivités individuelles et collectives aux flux informationnels permet ici de mieux comprendre ce que serait une gouvernance réflexive. Conflits des interprétations dans la société de l'information permet de répondre adéquatement à une éthique et une politique de l'environnement.

Book A Critical Theory for the Anthropocene

Download or read book A Critical Theory for the Anthropocene written by Nathanaël Wallenhorst and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, which is rooted in biogeophysical studies, addresses conceptions of political action in the Anthropocene and the tension between a desire to accomplish the Promethean project of modernity and a post-Promethean approach. This work explores the idea of ​​an anthropological mutation of political consolidation from a “post-Promethean togetherness”, to creating the capacity to act together. The political thinking of the human condition developed by Hannah Arendt is important here as a resource for thinking about humanity in terms of human adventure. This has three dimensions: hubris, the world and coexistence referring respectively to the logic of profit of the homo oeconomicus, the logic of responsibility of the homo collectivus and the logic of the hospitality of the homo religatus. The intellectual and political attitude outlined in this book is an extension of critical theory: the work also puts forward a critique of what poses a problem in our relationship to the world and suggests how to overcome it, the ultimate goal being social transformation. The author propose an uprising and an anthropological consolidation of politics based on the revitalization that is brought about by the sharing of a conviviality both between humans and with what is non-human. The identification of conviviality as an educational paradigm to survive the Anthropocene gives us the much needed reason for hope despite this heritage of the Anthropocene. In addition to Arendtian thinking, this critical theory for the Anthropocene draws on the political thinking of several contemporary authors including Maurice Bellet, Hartmut Rosa, Andreas Weber, Dominique Bourg, and Christian Arnsperger. This volume is of interest to researchers in the Anthropocene.

Book Paul Ric  ur

Book excerpt: The philosophical activity and publications of Paul Ricoeur cover a period of seventy years. As a student at the Sorbonne in 1935, he published the first product of his pen, "L'appel de l'action. Reflexions d'un etudiant protestant". His last article, "Devenir capable, etre reconnu", was written a few months before his death on 20th May 2005, and appeared later in Esprit. Between those two titles - in which "action and reflection" and "the capable man and recognition" represent key notions of his philosophical itinerary - Ricoeur published some thirthy books. Encouraged by friends and colleagues I present here a revised version of my bibliography, updated and as complete as possible.

Download or read book Un avenir probl matique written by Michel Fabre and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelle Terre allons-nous laisser à nos enfants et pourront-ils y mener une existence d’hommes et de femmes capables d’exercer à leur tour leurs responsabilités ? Telle est la question que pose le philosophe Hans Jonas (1903-1993) et qui est désormais la nôtre dans notre monde problématique menacé par les catastrophes écologiques et sanitaires. Cet ouvrage s’efforce de reconstruire la pensée ontologique, éthique et politique de Jonas et d’en dégager les implications éducatives. Il la resitue dans le contexte de la philosophie allemande du XXe siècle et de la réflexion sur la technique moderne que développent les disciples dissidents de Martin Heidegger, comme Hannah Arendt et Günther Anders. La pensée de Jonas et particulièrement son maître livre, le Principe responsabilité, s’avère d’une singulière actualité et permet de nourrir nombre de nos questionnements sur l’anthropocène, l’écologie politique et l’éducation à la responsabilité. Le principe de précaution est-il à la hauteur des catastrophes qui s’annoncent ? Que penser du bio-pouvoir et de l’état d’urgence sanitaire ? La démocratie est-elle la mieux armée pour gérer les crises de l’anthropocène ? Comment interpréter les interpellations culpabilisatrices d’une certaine jeunesse accusant les adultes d’irresponsabilité devant l’avenir ? Penser d’après Jonas c’est se laisser interpeller par une pensée radicale tout en soulignant, d’un point de vue critique, les tensions qui traversent son œuvre entre le souci de la survie et celui de la dignité humaine, entre paternalisme et exigence d’autonomie ? Quelles sont les implications politiques et éducatives de telles tensions qui sont les nôtres aujourd’hui ? Penser avec et quelque fois contre Jonas est une aventure, qui, loin de se clore sur des réponses définitives, ouvre de nouveaux questionnements. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux chercheurs, formateurs, éducateurs, enseignants ainsi qu’au public cultivé soucieux des enjeux de la responsabilité politique et éducative dans le monde problématique d’aujourd’hui.

Book Political Responsibility for a Globalised World

Download or read book Political Responsibility for a Globalised World written by Ernst Wolff and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to reflect on the complex practice of responsibility within the context of a globalised world and contemporary means of action. Levinas' exploration of the ethical serves as point of entry and is shown to be seeking inter-cultural political relevance through engagement with the issues of postcoloniality and humanism. Yet, Levinas fails to realise the ethical implications of the inevitable instrumental mediation between ethical meaning and political practice. With recourse to Weber, Apel and Ricoeur, Ernst Wolff proposes a theory of strategic co-responsibility for the uncertain global context of practice.

  • Author : Roderick Frazier Nash
  • Publisher : Univ of Wisconsin Press
  • Release : 1989-01-17
  • ISBN : 0299118436
  • Pages : 306 pages

Download or read book The Rights of Nature written by Roderick Frazier Nash and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1989-01-17 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charting the history of contemporary philosophical and religious beliefs regarding nature, Roderick Nash focuses primarily on changing attitudes toward nature in the United States. His work is the first comprehensive history of the concept that nature has rights and that American liberalism has, in effect, been extended to the nonhuman world. “A splendid book. Roderick Nash has written another classic. This exploration of a new dimension in environmental ethics is both illuminating and overdue.”—Stewart Udall “His account makes history ‘come alive.’”—Sierra “So smoothly written that one almost does not notice the breadth of scholarship that went into this original and important work of environmental history.”—Philip Shabecoff, New York Times Book Review “Clarifying and challenging, this is an essential text for deep ecologists and ecophilosophers.”—Stephanie Mills, Utne Reader

Book L  heuristique de la peur chez Hans Jonas

Download or read book L heuristique de la peur chez Hans Jonas written by Serge-Christian Mboudou and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2010 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après avoir, à la lumière du philosophe belge contemporain Gilbert Hottois, situé la notion de technoscience, résultat du passage d'une science primitivement contemplative à son instrumentalisation par le biais de la technique, au point qu'on aboutit, avec le projet baconien de la science, à la technicisation de la science et à la scientifisation de la technique, M. Serge-Christian Mboudou a analysé, à la lumière cette fois de Hans Jonas, la technoscience telle qu'elle a accru l'agir de l'homme et posé des problèmes que l'éthique de la transcendance et de l'immanence ne pouvaient plus résoudre. Pour résoudre les problèmes dont s'accompagne la technoscience, Jonas estime qu'il faut une éthique nouvelle, l'éthique de l'avenir qu'il appelle également l'éthique de la responsabilité. Cette éthique est principalement fondée sur un concept de référence, 1'" heuristique de la peur ". C'est cela qui motive l'auteur de ce livre à s'interroger sur la possibilité de la peur à fonder l'éthique de l'avenir. Autrement dit, un avenir terrifiant suffit-il à imposer à l'agir de l'homme une autocorrection éthique pouvant permettre à l'humanité présente et future de se protéger contre le risque de l'apocalypse ?

Book Le principe responsabilit

Download or read book Le principe responsabilit written by Hans Jonas and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les morales traditionnelles sont devenues inopérantes en particulier pour les décideurs politiques. Hans Jonas propose une reformulation de l'éthique autour de l'idée de responsabilité, sous ses différents aspects (naturelle et contractuelle), et voit dans les parents et les hommes d'état deux modèles essentiels ; il discute les idéaux de progrès et les utopies (d'où le titre qui rappelle Le Principe espérance d'Ernst Bloch) et dessine une philosophie de l'"espérance responsable" fondée sur le respect. L'accueil réservé à cette grande oeuvre - des philosophes aux décideurs politiques et des pédagogues aux scientifiques - témoigne de l'actualité d'une telle réflexion.
