Book excerpt: "Questions for Humans: The Paradox of Free Will, Philosophical Perspectives on Fate, Choice, and Consequence" is a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating exploration of one of the most enduring and perplexing philosophical questions of all time: do we have free will, or are our lives predetermined by fate? This book delves deep into the heart of this age-old debate, examining the complex interplay between choice, consequence, and the human experience. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of philosophical perspectives, from the ancient wisdom of Aristotle and the Stoics to the groundbreaking insights of contemporary thinkers like Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris, this book offers a comprehensive and engaging analysis of the free will problem. Along the way, readers will encounter a wide range of fascinating topics and ideas, including: The nature of causality and determinism The relationship between free will and moral responsibility The implications of neuroscience and psychology for our understanding of agency and choice The role of chance, randomness, and uncertainty in shaping our lives The existential significance of free will for our sense of meaning, purpose, and identity Through a careful and nuanced examination of these key themes and questions, "Questions for Humans" invites readers to grapple with the profound implications of the free will debate for our understanding of ourselves, our place in the world, and the fabric of reality itself. But this book is more than just an academic exploration of abstract philosophical concepts. It is also a deeply personal and introspective journey that challenges readers to confront their own beliefs, assumptions, and experiences surrounding free will and determinism. With its engaging and accessible writing style, thought-provoking examples, and practical exercises and reflections, "Questions for Humans" is a book that not only informs and educates but also transforms and inspires. Whether you are a seasoned philosopher, a curious layperson, or simply someone who has ever wondered about the nature of choice and consequence, this book offers a timely and essential guide to one of the most important and enduring questions of human existence. Some of the key benefits and takeaways that readers can expect from this book include: A deeper understanding of the historical and conceptual foundations of the free will debate A clearer sense of the major arguments and positions on both sides of the issue A more nuanced and sophisticated appreciation for the complexity and significance of the question of free will Practical insights and tools for navigating the challenges and opportunities of living in a world where the nature of choice and agency is uncertain A renewed sense of wonder, curiosity, and humility in the face of the grand mysteries of human existence Ultimately, "Questions for Humans: The Paradox of Free Will, Philosophical Perspectives on Fate, Choice, and Consequence" is more than just a book about philosophy; it is a book about what it means to be human. By grappling with the profound implications of free will and determinism, readers will come away with a deeper appreciation for the richness, complexity, and sheer mystery of the human experience.

Download or read book The Philosophical and Theological Relevance of Evolutionary Anthropology written by Martin Breul and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the philosophical and theological significance of evolutionary anthropology and includes diverse approaches to the relationship between evolution, culture, and religion. Particular emphasis is placed on the work of Michael Tomasello, who contributes an opening chapter that tackles the role of religion in his natural history of human thinking and human morality. The first section of the book considers the philosophical foundations of evolutionary anthropology and shows that evolutionary anthropology is open to a multitude of philosophical analyses. The second part offers theological perspectives on the relationship between evolutionary and theological anthropology and between evolution and religion. The volume also reflects more broadly on the complex relationship between religion and science in the contexts of late-modern societies. It makes a significant contribution to the religion and science debate and offers performative evidence that an interdisciplinary discussion between theologians, philosophers, and natural scientists is feasible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion that there is no alternative to capitalism emerged after the fall of the Berlin Wall and made rapid headway due to increasing economic globalisation. More recently, this belief that there is no viable alternative has held firm despite the financial crisis, high unemployment levels and an ever-increasing gap between rich and poor. However, since the appearance of Benjamin Ward’s seminal 1958 article, economic theorists have been developing a workable alternative: a system of self-managed firms. The core argument outlined in this book is that a well-organised system of producer cooperatives would give rise to a new mode of production and, ultimately, a genuinely socialist society. This argument is developed through three key steps. First, following on from Jaroslav Vanek’s definition, it is argued that a ‘Labour-Managed Firm’, a firm which strictly segregates capital incomes from labour incomes, would implement a new production mode because it would reverse the pre-existing relation between capital and labour. Second, given that a system of these ‘Labour-Managed Firm’ cooperatives would reverse the capital-labour relationship, it is suggested that this would constitute a form of market socialism. Third, it is argued that compared to capitalism a system of producer cooperatives offers a wealth of advantages, including the potential for efficiency gains, the eradication of unemployment and the end of exploitation. Ultimately, this book concludes that self-management could take the place of central planning in Marxist visions for the future.
Download or read book No Local written by Greg Sharzer and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can making things smaller make the world a better place? No Local takes a critical look at localism, an ideology that says small businesses, ethical shopping and community initiatives like gardens and farmers’ markets can stop corporate globalization. These small acts might make life better for some, but they don’t challenge the drive for profit that’s damaging our communities and the earth. No Local shows how localism’s fixation on small comes from an outdated economic model. Growth is built into capitalism. Small firms must play by the same rules as large ones, cutting costs, exploiting workers and damaging the environment. Localism doesn’t ask who controls production, allowing it to be co-opted by governments offloading social services onto the poor. At worst, localism becomes a strategy for neoliberal politics, not an alternative to it. No Local draws on political theory, history, philosophy and empirical evidence to argue that small isn’t always beautiful. Building a better world means creating local social movements that grow to challenge, not avoid, market priorities.
