Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les auteurs dont il est principalement question dans cet ouvrage (Durkheim, Weber, Habermas et Bourdieu) poursuivent, quoi qu'on en pense, le même objectif. Chacun est soucieux de la spécificité et de la relative autonomie des sciences humaines et sociales. Chacun emprunte cette nouvelle voie dans l'histoire des sciences en reconnaissant de facto les liens qui continuent exister entre sociologie et philosophie. Lorsqu'il est question de problèmes moraux, ils les situent dans le cadre général de l'action, si bien que leur sociologie de la morale est intimement intégrée à leur théorie propre de l'action. La réticence vis-à-vis des particularismes et vis-à-vis d'un pur relativisme, réputés indépassables, leur est pour l'essentiel commune. Aucun d'eux ne fait basculer la morale dans l'irrationnel et ceci en raison du rapport à leurs yeux indestructible qui existe entre raison et morale. On peut penser que cette proximité saisissante de quatre sociologies par ailleurs divergentes indique une affinité avec la philosophie kantienne et, plus loin, avec l'éthique aristotélicienne. C'est pourquoi la première partie de l'ouvrage débute par une lecture de l'Ethique à Nicomaque et de la Critique de la raison pratique. Ces lectures sont celles d'un sociologue à la recherche des racines de sa propre discipline et d'un parcours possible de la raison pratique. La seconde partie de l'ouvrage procède à une mise au point critique de concepts nécessaires à l'élaboration d'une sociologie de l'éthique : la personne, l'espace public, la responsabilité, le long terme.
Download or read book Sociologie de l thique written by Jean-Louis Genard and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 1992 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quel est le fondement du lien social ? La réponse à cette question doit être cherchée au coeur du domaine de l'éthique, dans ce que nous appelons la responsabilité.¦Aboutissement d'un processus d'apprentissage auquel participent les nombreuses institutions qui, comme la famille, assurent la socialisation, la responsabilité constitute la spécificité de l'activité et des relations humaines et sociales.¦C'es elle qui permet de comprendre que nous sommes fiers de nos réussites... honteux ou désespérés de nos échecs. C'es elle qui justifie les scrupules que nous pouvons avoir à l'égard d'autrui, l'indignation que nous éprouvons face à la souffrance ou encore l'attachement qui nous lie à nos proches... Mais c'est aussi à elle qu'en appellera la justice pour évaluer et sanctionner nos fautes...¦Prenant d'abord ses distances par rapport aux grandes approches sociologiques de l'activité morale, l'auteur montre ensuite comment s'opère l'apprentissage social de la responsabilité et comment naissent les grandes valeurs (équité, respect, sincérité, autonomie,...) qui structurent les engagements et les débats éthiques. Il évoque enfin les risques qui menacent aujourd'hui la responsabilité.¦Au travers de ce livre, J.L. Genard tente de relaver le défi épistémologique auquel l'actuel retour de la réflexion éthique confronte la pensée sociologique.
Download or read book Caring Democracy written by Joan C. Tronto and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans now face a caring deficit: there are simply too many demands on people’s time for us to care adequately for our children, elderly people, and ourselves.At the same time, political involvement in the United States is at an all-time low, and although political life should help us to care better, people see caring as unsupported by public life and deem the concerns of politics as remote from their lives. Caring Democracy argues that we need to rethink American democracy, as well as our fundamental values and commitments, from a caring perspective. The idea that production and economic life are the most important political and human concerns ignores the reality that caring, for ourselves and others, should be the highest value that shapes how we view the economy, politics, and institutions such as schools and the family. Care is at the center of our human lives, but Tronto argues it is currently too far removed from the concerns of politics. Caring Democracy traces the reasons for this disconnection and argues for the need to make care, not economics, the central concern of democratic political life. Joan C. Tronto is a Professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Minnesota. She is the author of Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care (Routledge).

Download or read book The Poetics of Imperialism written by Eric Cheyfitz and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1997-06-29 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book Cheyfitz charts the course of American imperialism from the arrival of Europeans in a New World open for material and rhetorical cultivation to the violent foreign ventures of twentieth-century America in a Third World judged equally in need of cultural translation. Passionately and provocatively, he reads James Fenimore Cooper and Leslie Marmon Silko, Frederick Douglass, and Edgar Rice Burroughs within and against the imperial framework. At the center of the book is Shakespeare's "Tempest," at once transfiguring the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown and prefiguring much of American literature. In a new, final chapter, Cheyfitz reaches back to the representations of Native Americans produced by the English decades before the establishment of the Jamestown colony.
Download or read book Managing the Undesirables written by Michel Agier and published by Polity. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Official figures classify some fifty million of the world’s people as 'victims of forced displacement'. Refugees, asylum seekers, disaster victims, the internally displaced and the temporarily tolerated - categories of the excluded proliferate, but many more are left out of count. In the face of this tragedy, humanitarian action increasingly seems the only possible response. On the ground, however, the 'facilities' put in place are more reminiscent of the logic of totalitarianism. In a situation of permanent catastrophe and endless emergency, 'undesirables' are kept apart and out of sight, while the care dispensed is designed to control, filter and confine. How should we interpret the disturbing symbiosis between the hand that cares and the hand that strikes? After seven years of study in the refugee camps, Michel Agier reveals their 'disquieting ambiguity' and stresses the imperative need to take into account forms of improvisation and challenge that are currently transforming the camps, sometimes making them into towns and heralding the emergence of political subjects. A radical critique of the foundations, contexts, and political effects of humanitarian action.

Download or read book Questions of Cultural Identity written by Stuart Hall and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1996-04-04 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why and how do contemporary questions of culture so readily become highly charged questions of identity? The question of cultural identity lies at the heart of current debates in cultural studies and social theory. At issue is whether those identities which defined the social and cultural world of modern societies for so long - distinctive identities of gender, sexuality, race, class and nationality - are in decline, giving rise to new forms of identification and fragmenting the modern individual as a unified subject. Questions of Cultural Identity offers a wide-ranging exploration of this issue. Stuart Hall firstly outlines the reasons why the question of identity is so compelling and yet so problematic. The cast of outstanding contributors then interrogate different dimensions of the crisis of identity; in so doing, they provide both theoretical and substantive insights into different approaches to understanding identity.
Download or read book Sociology and Philosophy Routledge Revivals written by Emile Durkheim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in English in 1953, this volume represents a collection of three essays written by seminal sociologist and philsopher Emile Durkheim in which he puts forward the thesis that society is both a dynamic system and the seat of moral life. Each essay stands alone, but their connecting thread is the dialectic demonstration that a phenomenon, be a sociological or psychological one, is relatively independent of its matrix. The essays provide a valuable insight into Durkeheimian thought on sociological and philsophical matters and offer an excellent guide to Durkheim for students of both disciplines.

Download or read book The Ethics of Anthropology written by Pat Caplan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the inception of their discipline, anthropologists have studied virtually every conceivable aspect of other peoples' morality - religion, social control, sin, virtue, evil, duty, purity and pollution. But what of the examination of anthropology itself, and of its agendas, epistemes, theories and praxes? In 1991, Raymond Firth spoke of social anthropology as an essentially moral discipline. Is such a view outmoded in a postmodern era? Do anthropological ethics have to be re-thought each generation as the conditions of the discipline change, and as choices collide with moral alternatives? The Ethics of Anthropology looks at some of these crucial issues as they reflect on researcher relations, privacy, authority, secrecy and ownership of knowledge. The book combines theoretical papers and case studies from eminent scholars including Lisette Josephides, Steven Nugent, Marilyn Silverman, Andrew Spiegel and Veronica Strang. Showing how the topic of ethics goes to the heart of anthropology, it raises the controversial question of why - and for whom - the anthropological discipline functions.
