Hubris and Progress A Future Born of Presumption

Hubris and Progress A Future Born of Presumption

This book explores the ancient question of why man seeks to go beyond his limits. A presumptuous tendency known by the ancient Greeks as hubris and believed to be punished by the gods it developed from a need for our survival to a habit as humanity has subdued animals dominated nature increased knowledge and sought even to overcome death. It also lies behind the crisis of our time as the values of democracy freedom equality and progress have been weakened – sacrificed to excess as we live in an eternal present dominated by greed and indifference regarding the future. Addressing this crisis of our interregnum period in which faith has been lost in the former certainties of modernity such as science progress and the idea of a better world the author considers whether redemption for humanity might lie in our hubristic tendencies as these give us scope to deviate from the existing path and find new ways forward. | Hubris and Progress A Future Born of Presumption

Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell

Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell

Critical assessments of Elizabeth Gaskell have tended to emphasise the regional and provincial aspects of her writing but the scope of her influence extended across the globe. Building on theories of space and place the contributors to this collection bring a variety of geographical industrial psychological and spatial perspectives to bear on the vast range of Gaskell’s literary output and on her place within the narrative of British letters and national identity. The advent of the railway and the increasing predominance of manufactory machinery reoriented the nation’s physical and social countenance but alongside the excitement of progress and industry was a sense of fear and loss manifested through an idealization of the country home the pastoral retreat and the agricultural south. In keeping with the theme of progress and change the essays follow parallel narratives that acknowledge both the angst and nostalgia produced by industrial progress and the excitement and awe occasioned by the potential of the empire. Finally the volume engages with adaptation and cultural performance in keeping with the continuing importance of Gaskell in contemporary popular culture far beyond the historical and cultural environs of nineteenth-century Manchester. | Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell

'Progress' in Zimbabwe? The Past and Present of a Concept and a Country

'Progress' in Zimbabwe? The Past and Present of a Concept and a Country

Zimbabwe's severe crisis - and a possible way out of it with a transitional government and the new era for which it prepares the ground - demands a coherent scholarly response. 'Progress' can be employed as an organising theme across many disciplinary approaches to Zimbabwe's societal devastation. At wider levels too the concept of progress is fitting. It underpins 'modern' 'liberal' and 'radical' perspectives of development pervading the social sciences and humanities. Yet perceptions of 'progress' are subject increasingly to intensive critical inquiry. Their gruesome end is signified in the political projects of Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF. John Gray's Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia indicates this. It is expected that participants will engage directly in debates about how the idea of 'progress' has informed their disciplines - from political science and history to labour and agrarian studies and then relate these arguments to the Zimbabwean case in general and their research in particular. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary African Studies. | 'Progress' in Zimbabwe? The Past and Present of a Concept and a Country

Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

This monograph is an innovative endeavour in many ways. First it brings to the fore the synergy between human evolution and economic and social progress. Second it acknowledges the critical contributions from the routine adherence to contextual truth and contextual non-violence of humanity at large. Finally it argues that the world is sliding towards evolutionary failure by not moving further forward in the adherence to the two core human values. For all those interested in development in a holistic sense the book will inspire thinking and debate. Human evolution will go on – one way or the other – with or without adherence to truth and non-violence. The book stresses the time is now to go for the best and eschew the worst. | Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

This Great Beast Progress and the Modern State

This Great Beast Progress and the Modern State

First published in 1997 this volume follows Catley and Cristaudo as they defend Western Civilization against all comers: against the rest of the world especially the Third World and against its own internal irritants: ‘the scribblings of the intelligentsia’ by idealist philosophers feminists greens post-moderns multiculturalists Orientalists anti-nationalists socialists and Keynesians most of them tenured academics in the arts and social sciences. As academic political scientists themselves they have done time in a number of the ideological prisons they attack and they write about those states of mind with experienced cynicism . As in Paradise Lost the devil gets all the best tunes. The identification of civilization’s enemies is wildly sometimes hilariously politically incorrect. | This Great Beast Progress and the Modern State

John Stuart Mill (Routledge Revivals) The Politics of Progress

First published in 1991 this book attempts to deal with Mill’s thought as a coherent system and tie some elements of his thoughts together.

The first chapters deal with Mill’s doctrine of improvement and what impact the improvement of man has on the social organisation of society. The third chapter deals with Mill’s theory of economic development. The second part of the book deals with policy issues such as the question of the optimal constitution and Mill’s policy proposals for England. | John Stuart Mill (Routledge Revivals) The Politics of Progress

Social Aspects of Asian Economic Growth Human capital and the people side of progress

Social Aspects of Asian Economic Growth Human capital and the people side of progress

There are in simple terms three principal kinds of capital that come necessarily into play when a society is evolving towards improving the lives livelihoods and qualities of life of its people. The first form of capital is financial – this normally includes physical forms of invested money in plant buildings and infrastructure. The second form of capital is human – seen simply as the level and range of skills and capabilities that are available for use in the society. When people are literate numerate skilled experienced informed cooperative and inquisitive they and their societies can do much more. The third form of capital is social. Here cooperativeness shows its effects and the rules of how that works vary greatly between societies. It is the second of these elements human capital that is the main focus of this book but it overlaps with social capital extensively in these accounts and can only be understood in terms of its connections into the wider societal system. The varying patterns of its workings and influence in different Asian contexts are explained against the background of a theory of societal progress. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Business Review. | Social Aspects of Asian Economic Growth Human capital and the people side of progress

Interrogation and Confession A Study of Progress Process and Practice

Interrogation and Confession A Study of Progress Process and Practice

First published in 1997 Interrogation and Confession has two important concerns. The first is with the structures and strategies that have evolved within the criminal justice system not only to entrench the confession as key item of prosecution evidence but also to legitimate the custodial interrogation of suspects by law enforcement personnel. The second major concern is with kinds of police-suspect encounter that appear in official accounts of custodial interrogation. Based upon a systematic analysis of prosecution papers associated with over 650 Crown Court cases the author provides vivid and challenging insights into the nature of police-suspect relations and closely examines: the extent to which evidence is constructed (rather than elicited); how far formal rules impact upon the character and form of police-suspect relations during interrogation; the circumstances in which suspects elect or decline to cooperate with the police; and the extent to which records of custodial interrogation can be said to be complete accurate and reliable. | Interrogation and Confession A Study of Progress Process and Practice

Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic Genesis Constitution and Regressive Progress

Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic Genesis Constitution and Regressive Progress

This book examines the 2008 global economic crisis as a complex social phenomenon or social hieroglyphic arguing that the crisis is not fundamentally economic despite presenting itself as such. Instead it is considered to be a symptom of a long-standing multifaceted and endemic crisis of capitalism which has effectively become permanent leading contemporary capitalist societies into a state of social regression manifest in new forms of barbarism. The author offers a qualitative understanding of the economic crisis as the perversion or inversion of the capitalistically organized social relations. The genesis of the current crisis is traced back to the unresolved world crisis surrounding the Great Depression in order to map the course and different inverted forms of the continuous global crisis of capitalism and to reveal their inner connections as derivative of the same social constitution. From a historical and interdisciplinary perspective the book expounds critical social theory elaborating on the intersection between the early critical theory of the Frankfurt School – mainly Adorno Horkheimer and Marcuse – and the social form analysis of the Open Marxism school. Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic critically addresses the permanent character of the 1920s–1930s crisis and the crisis theory debates; the political crisis in Eastern Europe (1953–1968); the crisis of Keynesianism; the crisis of subversive reason; the crisis negative anthropology and transformations of the bourgeois individual; the state of social regression and the destructive tendencies after the rise of neoliberalism; and finally the 2008 financial crisis and its ongoing aftermath. | Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic Genesis Constitution and Regressive Progress
