The End of Morality Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously

The End of Morality Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously

According to the moral error theorist all moral judgments are mistaken. The world just doesn’t contain the properties and relations necessary for these judgments to be true. But what should we actually do if we decided that we are in this radical and unsettling predicament—that morality is just a widespread and heartfelt illusion? One suggestion is to eliminate all talk and thought of morality (abolitionism). Another is to carry on believing it anyway (conservationism). And yet another is to treat morality as a kind of convenient fiction (fictionalism). We tend to think of moral thinking as valuable and useful (e. g. for motivating cooperative behavior) but we can also recognize that it can be harmful (e. g. hindering compromise) and even disastrous (e. g. inspiring support for militaristic propaganda). Would we be better off or worse off if we stopped basing decisions on moral considerations?This is a collection of twelve brand new chapters focused on a critical examination of the options available to the moral error theorist. After a general introduction outlining the topic explaining key terminology and offering suggestions for further reading the chapters address questions like:• Is it true that the more that people are motivated by moral concerns the more likely it is that society will be elitist authoritarian and dishonest?• Is an appeal to moral values a useful tool for helping resolve conflicts or does it actually exacerbate conflicts?• Would it even be possible to abolish morality from our thinking? • If we were to accept a moral error theory would it be feasible to carry on believing in morality in everyday contexts?• Might moral discourse be usefully modeled on familiar metaphorical language where we can convey useful and important truths by uttering falsehoods?• Does moral thinking support or undermine a commitment to feminist goals?• What role do moral judgments play in addressing important decisions affecting climate change?The End of Morality: Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously is the first book to thoroughly address these and other questions systematically investigating the harms and benefits of moral thought and considering what the world might be like without morality. | The End of Morality Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously

Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia

Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia

The concept of green growth coupled with one of green economy and low carbon development is a global concern especially in the face of the multiple crises that the world has faced in recent years - climate oil food and financial crises. In East Asia this concept is regarded as the key in transforming cheap-labour dependent export-oriented industries towards a more sustainable development. Green Growth and Low Carbon Development in East Asia examines the beginnings of low carbon green growth in practice in East Asia and how effectively it has directed East Asian nations especially Korea China and Japan to put environment and climate challenges as the core target zone for investment and growth. Special focus is paid to energy and international trade - areas in which these nations compete with pioneered nations of Europe and the United States to develop renewable energy industries and enhance their international competitiveness. On the basis of the lessons learned in East Asia together with a comparison of Russia this book discusses the applicability and limitations of this developmental approach taken by the developing nations and resource-rich emerging economies including the conditions and contexts in which nations are able to transition into sustainable development through the use of low carbon green growth strategies.

The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

This book describes all of the important factors that cause some students to have low reading achievement and others to have high reading achievement. It concentrates on the main factors that influence how much a student gains in reading achievement during a year of school or a calendar year. An attempt is made to answer the following questions: what can educators do to increase reading achievement and what is beyond their influence? The author is directly concerned with achievement associated with normal or typical reading. The focus of the book is on things teachers can do during an entire school year that are likely to improve the reading level and reading rate of students which in turn will increase their reading achievement. This effort to specify the most important causes of high and low reading achievement represents an integration of two disciplines of scientific psychology-experimental psychology and psychometrics. A glossary at the end of the book contains definitions of terms and concepts. Helpful appendices explain rauding theory the three laws of rauding theory and the equations that can be used to predict the accuracy of reading comprehension provide conversions among units of rauding rate and list the numbered equations presented in the book. | The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

Visions of Energy Futures Imagining and Innovating Low-Carbon Transitions

Visions of Energy Futures Imagining and Innovating Low-Carbon Transitions

This book examines the visions fantasies frames discourses imaginaries and expectations associated with six state-of-the-art energy systems—nuclear power hydrogen fuel cells shale gas clean coal smart meters and electric vehicles—playing a key role in current deliberations about low-carbon energy supply and use. Visions of Energy Futures: Imagining and Innovating Low-Carbon Transitions unveils what the future of energy systems could look like and how their meanings are produced often alongside moments of contestation. Theoretically it analyzes these technological case studies with emerging concepts from various disciplines: utopianism (history of technology) symbolic convergence (communication studies) technological frames (social construction of technology) discursive coalitions (discourse analysis and linguistics) sociotechnical imaginaries (science and technology studies) and the sociology of expectations (innovation studies future studies). It draws from these cases to create a synthetic set of dichotomies and frameworks for energy futures based on original data collected across two global epistemic communities— nuclear physicists and hydrogen engineers—and experts in Eastern Europe and the Nordic region stakeholders in South Africa and newspapers in the United Kingdom. This book is motivated by the premise that tackling climate change via low-carbon energy systems and practices is one of the most significant challenges of the twenty-first century and that success will require not only new energy technologies but also new ways of understanding language visions and discursive politics. The discursive creation of the energy systems of tomorrow are propagated in polity hoping to be realized as the material fact of the future but processed in conflicting ways with underlying tensions as to how contemporary societies ought to be ordered. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of energy policy energy and environment and technology assessment. | Visions of Energy Futures Imagining and Innovating Low-Carbon Transitions

Ecological Restoration Law Concepts and Case Studies

Ecological Restoration Law Concepts and Case Studies

Ecological restoration is as essential as sustainable development for the health of the biosphere. Restoration however has been a low priority of most countries' environmental laws which tend to focus narrowly on rehabilitation of small discrete sites rather than the more ambitious recovery of entire ecosystems and landscapes. Through critical theoretical perspectives and topical case studies this book's diverse contributors explore a more ambitious agenda for ecological restoration law. Not only do they investigate current laws and other governance mechanisms; they also consider the philosophical and methodological bases for the law to take ecological restoration more seriously. Through exploration of themes relating to time space geography semiotics social justice and scientific knowledge this book offers innovative and critical insights into ecological restoration law. | Ecological Restoration Law Concepts and Case Studies

Europe's Rich Fabric The Consumption Commercialisation and Production of Luxury Textiles in Italy the Low Countries and Neighbouring Terr

Europe's Rich Fabric The Consumption Commercialisation and Production of Luxury Textiles in Italy the Low Countries and Neighbouring Terr

Throughout human history luxury textiles have been used as a marker of importance power and distinction. Yet as the essays in this collection make clear the term 'luxury' is one that can be fraught with difficulties for historians. Focusing upon the consumption commercialisation and production of luxury textiles in Italy and the Low Countries during the late medieval and early modern period this volume offers a fascinating exploration of the varied and subtle ways that luxury could be interpreted and understood in the past. Beginning with the consumption of luxury textiles it takes the reader on a journey back from the market place to the commercialisation of rich fabrics by an international network of traders before arriving at the workshop to explore the Italian and Burgundian world of production of damasks silks and tapestries. The first part of the volume deals with the consumption of luxury textiles through an investigation of courtly purchases as well as urban and clerical markets before the chapters in part two move on to explore the commercialisation of luxury textiles by merchants who facilitated their trade from the cities of Lucca Florence and Venice. The third part then focusses upon manufacture encouraging consideration of the concept of luxury during this period through the Italian silk industry and the production of high-quality woollens in the Low Countries. Graeme Small draws the various themes of the volume together in a conclusion that suggests profitable future avenues of research into this important subject. | Europe's Rich Fabric The Consumption Commercialisation and Production of Luxury Textiles in Italy the Low Countries and Neighbouring Terr

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

While international negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been less than satisfactory there is a presumption that a significant level of multi-lateral commitment will be realized at some point. International air and marine travel have been left to one side in past talks because the pursuit of agreement proceeds on the basis of commitment by sovereign nations and the effects of these specific commercial activities are by their nature difficult to corral and assign to specific national jurisdictions. However air travel is increasing and unless something is done emissions from this segment of our world economy will form a progressively larger percentage of the total especially as emissions fall in other activities. This book focuses on fuel. The aim is to provide background in technical and policy terms from the broadest reliable sources of information available for the necessary discourse on society's reaction to the evolving aviation emissions profile. It considers what policy has been why and how commercial air travel is committed to its current liquid fuel how that fuel can be made without using fossil-source materials and the barriers to change. It also advances some elements of policy remedies that make sense in providing an environmentally and economically sound way forward in a context that comprehends a more complete vision of sustainability than 'renewable fuels' traditionally have. The goal of Will Sustainability Fly? is to broaden and contextualize the knowledge resource available to academics policy makers air industry leaders and stakeholders and interested members of the public. | Will Sustainability Fly?

Complexity A Key Idea for Business and Society

Complexity A Key Idea for Business and Society

This book interprets insights from the complexity sciences to explore seven types of complexity better to understand the predictable unpredictability of social life. Drawing on the natural and social sciences it describes how complexity models are helpful but insufficient for our understanding of complex reality. Taking an interdisciplinary approach the book develops a complex theory of action more consistent with our experience that our plans inevitably lead to unexpected outcomes explains why we are both individuals and thoroughly social and gives an account of why no matter how clear our message we may still be misunderstood. The book investigates what forms of knowledge are most helpful for thinking about complex experience reflects on the way we exercise authority (leadership) and thinks through the ethical implications of trying to co-operate in a complex world. Taking complexity seriously poses a radical challenge to more orthodox theories of managing and leading based as they are on assumptions of predictability control and universality. The author argues that management is an improvisational practice which takes place in groups in a particular context at a particular time. Managers can influence but never control an uncontrollable world. To become more skilful in complex group dynamics involves taking into account multiple points of view and acknowledging not knowing ambivalence and doubt. This book will be of interest to researchers professionals academics and students in the fields of business and management especially those interested in how taking complexity seriously can influence the functioning of businesses and organizations and how they manage and lead. | Complexity A Key Idea for Business and Society

Plotting Squatting Public Purpose and Politics Land Market Development Low Income Housing and Public Intervention in India

Plotting Squatting Public Purpose and Politics Land Market Development Low Income Housing and Public Intervention in India

This title was first published in 2003. Since independence in 1947 India has undergone a phase of rapid urbanization. New planning laws have been passed new organizations established public policy documents and discussion papers prepared and a host of land and housing schemes have been implemented. Still however the vast majority of urban expansion is an unplanned process that takes the form of squatting and illegal or semi-legal land subdivision. By looking in detail at two rapidly growing cities in Andhra Pradesh (Vijayawada and Viaskhapatnam) this book explores cultural physical-spatial political and economic determinants of the allocation of urban land and of urban growth in India in historical context. It focuses on the interplay between the government and the organizations in charge of their implementation and the private sector on the other. Special attention is given to the conditions of the urban poor with the changes in their socio-economic conditions. | Plotting Squatting Public Purpose and Politics Land Market Development Low Income Housing and Public Intervention in India

The Republic of the Ushakovka Admiral Kolchak and the Allied Intervention in Siberia 1918-1920

This volume originally published in 1990 and now with an updated Preface gives an account of the Allies' last concerted attempt to destroy Russia's nascent Bolshevik regime. At the start it looked like a threat that should be taken seriously as the Reds' enemies both native and foreign combined with trained mercenaries under the leadership of a Tsarist admiral. But it finished with a firing squad on the ice and a grisly end for the ill-fated Admiral Kolchak. With him died the last hope for the old order in Russia and the future of the new Soviet state was secure. The skill of the author's narrative lies in his mastery both of the detail and of the wider implications of these epic events. | The Republic of the Ushakovka Admiral Kolchak and the Allied Intervention in Siberia 1918-1920

Sex at Risk Lifetime Number of Partners Frequency of Intercourse and the Low AIDS Risk of Vaginal Intercourse

Politicians interest groups and the mass media often answer questions about how AIDS is sexually transmitted as if heterosexual vaginal intercourse is a high-risk activity. When it comes to understanding how AIDS is transmitted and formulating effective policy to deal with the spread of AIDS America remains confused. What. Brody calls ideological knowledge about AIDS is fat more likely to filter through society than scientific knowledge. Sex at Risk Is a comprehensive review of the scientific literature dealing with. the transmission of AIDS. Like Michael Fumento's The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS it exposes the mythology surrounding vaginal intercourse and AIDS transmission Brody also looks deeply at reasons that fear of AIDS transmission from vaginal intercourse has spread so widely and profoundly He addresses serious methodological problems in AIDS/HIV behavioral research as well as tendentious political correctness that has done a disservice to science. Sex at Risk also comprehensively reviews the international research literature on correlates of lifetime number of sexual partners and frequency of sexual intercourse. Among topics covered are: relationships between lifetime number of sexual partners and mental health explanations for important differences between intercourse and masturbation the possible association of frequency with healthy functioning and correlations between frequency and national development. Brody concludes by discussing what AIDS reveals about how politically correct thought impedes scientific progress when taboo themes regardless of their validity cannot be pursued Sex at Risk is factually grounded yet controversial; . Brody raises critical questions about much of what we have learned about AIDS from popular and professional publications soft scientists and public health campaigns.
