Titre : Adam Smith Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Smith Craig Editeur : Cambridge : Polity Press Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 210p. Format : 23cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-5095-1823-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : /Politics & Sociology/Philosophy/ Résumé : Almost everyone has heard of Adam Smith, founding father of modern economics and author of Wealth of Nations. There is, however, much more to him than this. This new introduction gives a crystal clear overview of the entirety of Smithnsquo;s thought. It demonstrates how Smithnsquo;s economic theories fit into a larger system of thought that encompasses moral philosophy, philosophy of science, legal and political theory, and aesthetics. Examining the central arguments of his major works, ranging from The Theory of Moral Sentiments to his lectures on jurisprudence and beyond, Smithnsquo;s thought is explained in its full intellectual and historical context. As the book unfolds, the long-standing caricature of Adam Smith as an uncritical defender of capitalism red in tooth and claw is systematically challenged, revealing a far more complex and nuanced figure whose rich legacy remains highly relevant today. Comprehensive yet concise, this book will be the leading introduction to Adam Smithssquo;s ideas for generations of students, scholars and general readers, relevant to areas ranging from philosophy and the history of economic thought to political theory.

Titre : Electronic Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rettberg Scott Editeur : Cambridge : Polity Press Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 247p. Format : 24cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-5095-1678-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : /Literature/ Literary Movements & Periods/ Résumé : Electronic Literature considers new forms and genres of writing that exploit the capabilities of computers and networks - literature that would not be possible without the contemporary digital context. In this book, Rettberg places the most significant genres of electronic literature in historical, technological, and cultural contexts. These include combinatory poetics, hypertext fiction, interactive fiction (and other game-based digital literary work), kinetic and interactive poetry, and networked writing based on our collective experience of the Internet. He argues that electronic literature demands to be read both through the lens of experimental literary practices dating back to the early twentieth century and through the specificities of the technology and software used to produce the work. Considering electronic literature as a subject in totality, this book provides a vital introduction to a dynamic field that both reacts to avant-garde literary and art traditions and generates new forms of narrative and poetic work particular to the twenty-first century. It is essential reading for students and researchers in disciplines including literary studies, media and communications, art, and creative writing.

Titre : Error, Illusion, Madness Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Prado Jr. Bento ; Oliveira Marco, Traducteur Editeur : Cambridge : Polity Press Année de publication : 2021 Importance : 233p. Format : 23cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-5095-3705-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Portugais (por) Mots-clés : / History of Philosophy/Modern Philosophy/ Résumé : Available at a lower price from other sellers that may not offer free Prime shipping. This book makes available in English the work of one of the most important Brazilian philosophers and intellectuals of the twentieth century. First published in 2004, Error, Illusion, Madness is an original contribution to the debate about the nature and role of the subject and its forms of expression. In a context where the category of the subject was being at once dismissed by structuralist and post-structuralist thinkers and sidelined by the intersubjective turn of critical theory, Bento Prado Jr.’s book represented a unique intellectual intervention. He mobilized authors as diverse as Wittgenstein and Deleuze to formulate a notion of the subject as both a critique of identity and an affirmation of difference, a notion that dismantled the foundational character usually associated with this category. In this way Bento Prado Jr. opened up a new and distinctive kind of critical thinking that emphasized subjectivity while avoiding both foundationalism and relativism. This important book will be of great interest to those working in philosophy, critical theory, cultural theory, and Latin American studies.

Titre : Fascism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Roger Griffin Editeur : Cambridge : Polity Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 179p. Format : 22cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-5095-2067-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : /Political Science & Ideology/ Résumé : The word ‘fascism’ sometimes appears to have become a catch-all term of abuse, applicable to anyone on the political right, from Hitler to Donald Trump and from Putin to Thatcher. While some argue that it lacks any distinctive conceptual meaning at all, others have supplied highly elaborate definitions of its ‘essential’ features. It is therefore a concept that presents unique challenges for any student of political theory or history. In this accessible book, Roger Griffin, one of the world’s leading authorities on fascism, brings welcome clarity to this controversial ideology. He examines its origins and development as a political concept, from its historical beginnings in 1920s Italy up to the present day, and guides students through the confusing maze of debates surrounding the nature, definition and meaning of fascism. Elucidating with skill and precision its dynamic as a utopian ideology of national/racial rebirth, Griffin goes on to examine its post-Second World War mutations and its relevance to understanding contemporary right-wing political phenomena, ranging from Marine Le Pen to Golden Dawn. This concise and engaging volume will be of great interest to all students of political theory, the history of political thought, and modern history.

Titre : Gorbachev's Gamble : Soviet Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrei Grachev Editeur : Cambridge : Polity Press Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 271p. Format : 23cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7456-4345-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Gorbachev’s Gamble offers a new and more convincing answer to this question by providing the missing link between the internal and external aspects of Gorbachev’s perestroika. Andrei Grachev shows that the radical transformation of Soviet foreign policy during the Gorbachev years was an integral part of an ambitious project of internal democratic reform and of the historic opening of Soviet society to the outside world. Grachev explains the motives and the intentions of the initiators of this project and describes their hopes and their illusions. He recounts the story of the internal debates and struggles in the Kremlin and behind-the-scene decisions that led to the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the break-up of the Warsaw Pact and eventually the demise of the Soviet Union itself. The book is based on exclusive interviews with the leaders of the Soviet Union including Gorbachev, personal notes and diaries of their assistants and advisers and transcripts of the discussions inside the Politburo and Secretariat of the Central Committee. Together they constitute a multi-voice political confession of a whole generation of decision-makers of the Soviet Union that enables us better to understand the origin and the breathtaking trajectory of the events that led to the end of the Cold War and the unprecedented transformation of world politics in the closing decades of the 20th century.
