Uncertainty and Extremism - - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Uncertainty and Extremism - - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Extremism in society is the source of enormous human suffering and represents a significant social problem. This issue of the Journal of Social Issues assembles a set of 11 empirical and theoretical articles from leading social psychologists to examine the psychological relationship between uncertainty and extremism. The key question that is examined is whether, to what extent and in what fashion do feelings of uncertainty lead people to behave individually or collectively in ways that can be considered extremist – does uncertainty play a causal role in zealotry, fundamentalism, attitudinal rigidity, ideological orthodoxy, intolerance of dissent, violent social disruption, authoritarian leadership, and so forth.

Anthropology - Michael Herzfeld - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Anthropology - Michael Herzfeld - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Not a textbook in the ordinary sense, this work offers a vision of how anthropology - a discipline that operates through intimate knowledge of local societies - can offer vastly increased understanding of society and culture even in this age of mass communication. In its examination of topics ranging as far afield as the mass media, environmental and development issues, kinship and suffering in transnational settings, the politics of both the nation-state and the local community, the arts, cosmologies of science as well as religion, and the relationship between social life and history, this book is not just about an academic discipline; it is about the theoretical as well as ethical commitments that have enabled anthropologists to play a leading role in the critique of racism and other forms of intolerance.

Against Hate - Carolin Emcke - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Against Hate - Carolin Emcke - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Racism, extremism, anti-democratic sentiment - our increasingly polarized world is dominated by a type of thinking that doubts others' positions but never its own. In a powerful challenge to fundamentalism in all its forms, Carolin Emcke, one of Germany's leading intellectuals, argues that we can only preserve individual freedom and protect people's rights by cherishing and celebrating diversity. If we want to safeguard democracy, we must have the courage to challenge hatred and the will to fight for and defend plurality in our societies. Emcke rises to the challenge that identitarian dogmas and populist narratives pose, exposing the way in which they simplify and distort our perception of the world. Against Hate is an impassioned call to fight intolerance and defend liberal ideals. It will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the darkening politics of our time and searching for ways forward.

Blue Labour - Maurice Glasman - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Blue Labour - Maurice Glasman - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Labour has been on a wild ride over the past thirty years. New Labour argued that we had no choice but to accept a globalized free market economy in which the race was to the swift, the open and the flexible. Corbynism reacted against this with a jumble of old school statism and identity politics. Both ultimately failed. In this book, Maurice Glasman takes the axe to the soulless utilitarianism and ‘progressive’ intolerance of both Blair and Corbyn. Human beings, he contends, are not calculating machines, but faithful, relational beings who yearn for meaning and belonging. Rooted in their homes, families and traditions, they seek to resist the revolutionary upheaval of markets and states, which try to commodify and dominate their lives and homes, by the practice of democracy, mutuality and pluralism. This is the true Labour tradition, which is paradoxically both radical and conservative – and more relevant than ever in a post-COVID world. This crisp statement of the real politics of Blue Labour – rather than the absurd caricature of its detractors – is Glasman’s love letter to the left-conservatism that provides Labour’s best chance of moral – and indeed electoral – redemption.

House Concert - I Levit - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

House Concert - I Levit - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Igor Levit ranks among the greatest pianists of his generation, described by The New York Times as ‘one of the essential artists of our time’. But his influence reaches far beyond music: he uses his public platform to speak out against racism, antisemitism and all forms of intolerance and prejudice. Convinced of the duty of the musician to remain an engaged citizen, he is recognized and admired for his willingness to take a stand on some of the great issues of our day, even though it has come at considerable personal cost. When the pandemic broke out and Levit was unable to give live concerts, he switched his piano recitals from concert halls to his living room and gained a huge international following. This book opens a window onto Levit’s life during the 2019–2020 concert season, charting the transition from his whirlwind life of back-to-back live concerts in packed concert halls to the eerie stillness of lockdown and the innovative series of house concerts livestreamed over Twitter. A year in which Levit spoke out against hate and received death threats in response. A year in which he found his voice and found himself – as an artist and as a person.

After Nativism - Ash Amin - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

After Nativism - Ash Amin - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Increasingly, many people in democracies are turning to a strongarm politics for reassurance against globalization, uncertainty and precarity. In countries ranging from the US and the UK to Brazil, India and Turkey, support has grown for a nativist politics attacking migrants, minorities, liberals and elites as enemies of the nation. Is there a politics of belonging that progressive forces could mobilize to counteract these trends? After Nativism takes up this question, arguing that disarming nativism will require more than improving the security and wellbeing of the ‘left-behind’. The lines drawn by nativism are of an affective nature about imagined community, with meanings of belonging and voice lying at the heart of popular perceptions of just dues. This, argues Ash Amin, is the territory that progressive forces – liberal, social democratic, socialist – need to reclaim in order to shift public sentiment away from xenophobic intolerance towards one of commonality amid difference as a basis for facing existential risk and uncertainty. The book proposes a relational politics of belonging premised on the encounter, fugitive aesthetics, public interest politics, collaboration over common existential threats, and daily collectives and infrastructures of wellbeing. There is ground for progressives to mount a counter-aesthetics of belonging that will convince the discontents of neoliberal globalization that there is a better alternative to nativism.

Fighting Polarisation - Cherian George - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Fighting Polarisation - Cherian George - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Polarisation is deeply entrenched in many societies, with antagonistic us/them divides eroding faith in democracy's power to deal with diversity. But, around the world, there are groups of citizens who refuse to concede that this is the end of the story. Challenging received prejudices and resisting tribal appeals, they practise dialogue and deliberation across difference, gradually widening whom they mean by "us". Cherian George highlights the efforts taking place around the world against polarisation: On an American campus inflamed by war in the Middle East, a small group of pro-Palestinian and Zionist students meet over dinner to try to understand one another. In Indonesia, women join hands against rising religious intolerance in their home towns. In New Zealand, indigenous Maaori and the descendants of settlers serve as joint custodians of the country's longest river. This is a transnational tour of a disparate movement to build more inclusive democracies. Like the change agents it spotlights, this book has no illusions about their odds of success. But lessons from the successes and failures map out what may be democracies' best chance against the powerful forces of division and hate. Fighting Polarisation is enlightening reading for undergraduate and graduate students of media and communication studies, comparative politics, political sociology, human rights, and conflict studies, as well as general readers concerned about the future of democracy.

Cultuur & Lichaam - Paul Voestermans - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

"I was deeply impressed by this book. It is a fresh and original analysis of cultural psychology – there is nothing like this on the market ... the argument is so clear and the material so well constructed that one can''t help but argue with the authors at the same time as one is urging them on. In one fell swoop they take on the trend to evolutionary psychology, the worst of social psychology, integrate little known facts with the better known, make a plea for the centrality of the body and a practice orientation to psychology, explain religious tolerance and intolerance, add aging to the mix, and come out with a coherent picture of the relation between culture and psychology. Brilliant really."— Professor Henderikus Stam, University of Calgary "The book is, in one word, a gem.... Compared to the many books in the cultural studies field this book reaches far deeper and higher."— Tom ter Bogt, professor Music and Youth Culture, Utrecht University "The book is written in a lively, stimulating, provocative style. It draws on a wide variety of disciplines apart from psychology (sociology, anthropology, history, religious studies, philosophy, etc.) – as indeed any good book about ''culture'' should. Indeed, this multidisciplinary perspective is perhaps the book''s main strength."— David Ingleby, Professor of Intercultural Psychology, Utrecht University "This book presents both an innovative theoretical account of the persistence of behavioural patterns, and an intriguing and detailed analysis of five central areas of cultural problem-solving. Both theory and empirical analysis are coherent and consistent, and complicated issues usually are clarified by many well chosen examples, that can easily be related to current cultural themes and debates. Moreover, the book is written in a fluent style."— Ruud Abma, Professor of Social Science, Utrecht University

Comparing Christianities - April D. Deconick - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Comparing Christianities - April D. Deconick - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A ground-breaking introductory textbook for the study of the New Testament and the first Christians, written for the next generation of students Comparing Christianities: An Introduction to the New Testament and the First Christians maps the historical rise of Christianity out of a network of early Christian movements. This major new textbook systematically explores the struggles to define the faith by presenting Christianity as the result of a lengthy process of religious consolidation which emerged from a landscape of persistent Christian diversity. The book delves into the history of the first five generations of Christians, from Paul to Origen. The first chapter considers the challenges of constructing Christian histories and offers a new model of Christian families to organize and explain the emergence and competition of different varieties of Christianity. Each successive chapter focuses on key issues that Christian leaders engaged over the centuries, demonstrating how the questions they posed and the answers they provided gave Christianity its distinct shape. As the movements competed for social advantage, Christians began identifying certain Christian movements as enemies and consolidated against them. The final chapter schematizes the Christians studied in the book into three families of Christian movements based on the particular God they worshipped and other shared patterns of thought and practice. This chapter also explains where the varieties of Christianities came from and how the process of consolidation undertaken by some churches shaped Christian identity within a forge of intolerance that still affects us today. Comparing Christianities explores the answers to questions: Who were the early Christians and what did they write?What did Christians think about sex, women, immortality, Judaism, suffering and death?What rituals did the first Christians practice, and what did their religious experiences mean to them? How did Christians live in a Roman-dominated world?How did the first Christians explain the origins of their movement?Comparing Christianities: An Introduction to the New Testament and the First Christians serves as an excellent primary textbook in undergraduate classrooms for Introduction to Christianity, Introduction to Religion, New Testament Studies, Christian Origins, World Religions, and Western World Religions, and a thought-provoking resource for anyone wishing to know more about Christianity.

The Atlas of Reality - Robert C. Koons - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Atlas of Reality - Robert C. Koons - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Atlas of REALITY The Atlas of Reality: A Comprehensive Guide to Metaphysics presents an extensive examination of the key concepts, principles, and arguments of metaphysics, traditionally the very core of philosophical thought. Representing the first exhaustive survey of metaphysics available, the book draws from historic sources while presenting the latest cutting-edge research in the field. Seminal works of philosophers such as David Lewis, Alvin Plantinga, Kit Fine, Peter van Inwagen, John Hawthorne and many others are covered in depth, without neglecting the critical contributions of historical figures like René Descartes, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Bertrand Russell, and more. Written in an accessible manner without sacrificing rigor, readers at all levels will gain illuminating insights into metaphysical topics ranging from the problem of universals, individuation and composition, and relations and qualities, to time, space, causation, existence, modality, and idealism. The authors also articulate the emergence of several coherent metaphysical theses, including neo-Aristotelian, neo-Humean, and more recent alternatives put forth by W. V. O. Quine and David M. Armstrong. Competing views are clearly and fairly represented, and key axioms and methodological assumptions are flagged and cross-referenced, providing scholars with an invaluable tool for future research in metaphysics. Unprecedented in breadth of topic coverage and depth of analyses, The Atlas of Reality is an essential resource for those seeking a thorough understanding of one of the most compelling, influential, and enlightening sub-fields of philosophy in today’s world.
