Le but de ce blog et de mon compte Twitter est d’essayer faire passer une autre information sur l’Orient. Il ne s’agit pas seulement de tenter de donner des nouvelles différentes, ni d’analyser ce qui s’y passe, mais aussi de changer la grille de lecture à travers laquelle nous regardons l’Orient. Il faut arriver à se défaire de cette vision eurocentriste et occidentalo-centriste qui caractérise souvent les médias et les intellectuels, y compris de gauche.

C’est pour cette raison que j’évoque ici ce livre qui pourrait apparaître bien loin des sujets habituels, celui de Kevin B. Anderson, Marx at the Margins. On Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Non-Western Societies (The University of Chicago, 2010). L’auteur, professeur de sociologie et de science politique à l’université de Californie-Santa Barbara, explore le cheminement de la pensée de Karl Marx, en s’appuyant sur des textes souvent méconnus (une partie importantes de l’œuvre de Marx reste non publiée).

Robert Brandom. Philosophie: Wir sind dreifach frei | Kultur | ZEIT ONLINE. -----------------------------quotation added by oAnth Für Honneth ist die entscheidende Wertvoraussetzung der Moderne die Freiheit in drei Bedeutungen: als gleiches Recht eines jeden Menschen auf bestimmte Grundrechte, als Anspruch auf das eigene autonome Urteil über moralische Normen und als »soziale Freiheit«. Letztere versteht er mit Hegel als »Anerkennung«. Das ist der Schlüsselbegriff für seine Kritik der Entwicklung moderner Gesellschaften: Jeder will sich im sozialen Handeln von den anderen bejaht, respektiert und in seinen Zielen gefördert erfahren. Diese Beziehung muss eine symmetrische sein, in der er die anderen ebenso fördert und »ergänzt« – alltäglich erfahrbar ist das vor allem in Freundschaft und Liebe. Marktbeziehungen und demokratische Politik folgen aber demselben Muster. Honneth nennt die soziale Freiheit daher auch »demokratische Sittlichkeit«.

Dem Frankfurter Philosophen Axel Honneth ist mit seinem neuen Buch »Das Recht der Freiheit« ein Kunststück geglückt: Er zeigt, dass im alten Hegel ein aktueller Kritiker unserer modernen Gesellschaften steckt.

Global justice. There is a clear and reasonably uncontroversial basis for a simple theory of justice that all nations/cultures can accept. This is grounded a few core values about human development and is expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Millenium Development Goals, and other founding documents of the United Nations. This conception emphasizes several key values:equal worth of all persons value of freedom value of democracy and self-determinationthe injustice of hunger, lack of education, lack of healthcarethe injustice of capricious arrest and state violence (illegality)These values provide a basis for steering our core institutions and practices in the direction of greater justice: whenever it is possible to reform institutions and practices in ways that enhance one or more of these factors, we should do so. , 13). He did not believe that the ideal theory of justice would suffice to provide a road map for creating a more just society. ).

Tom Pogge's. “Traditionalist” Islamic activism | The Immanent Frame - Barbara D. Metcalf - 2011-09-07. “Traditionalist” Islamic activism. This essay is one of nearly three dozen original contributions to be included in 10 Years After September 11, a digital collection recently launched by the Social Science Research Council. In the days immediately following 9/11/01, the Council invited a wide range of leading social scientists to write short essays for an online forum. Ten years later, these same contributors have been asked to reflect on what has changed and what remains the same. The result is an extraordinary collection of new essays, with contributions from Rajeev Bhargava, Mary Kaldor, David Held, Olivier Roy, Saskia Sassen, Veena Das, Richard Falk, and many others. —ed. At the time of the 9/11 attacks, commentators trying to analyze Afghan support for Al-Qaeda put a great deal of emphasis on the Taliban’s sectarian orientation as “Deobandi.”

The problem was that commentators took to formulating a simple syllogism: The Taliban were Deobandis. The Taliban had accommodated Al-Qaeda. Printer-Friendly Version Metcalf B. Risk. Risk. First published Tue Mar 13, 2007; substantive revision Thu Aug 11, 2011 Since the 1970s, studies of risk have grown into a major interdisciplinary field of research. Although relatively few philosophers have focused their work on risk, there are important connections between risk studies and several philosophical subdisciplines. This entry summarizes the most well-developed of these connections and introduces some of the major topics in the philosophy of risk.

It consists of six sections dealing with the definition of risk and with treatments of risk related to epistemology, the philosophy of science, the philosophy of technology, ethics, and the philosophy of economics. 1. In non-technical contexts, the word “risk” refers, often rather vaguely, to situations in which it is possible but not certain that some undesirable event will occur. 1. risk = an unwanted event which may or may not occur.

An example of this usage is: “Lung cancer is one of the major risks that affect smokers.” 2. 3. Second-order simulacra - Wikipedia. Second-order simulacra. Part of the three order simulacra, the Second-order simulacra, a term coined by Jean Baudrillard, are symbols of a non faithful representation to the original. Here, signs and images do not faithfully show us reality, but might hint at the existence of something real which the sign itself is incapable of encapsulating.[1] While the first-order simulacra is a faithful copy to the original and the third order are symbols that have become without referents, that is, symbols with no real object to represent but pretends to be a faithful copy of an original. Simply put, a third-order simulacra are symbols in themselves taken for reality and further layer of symbolism is added.

This occurs when the symbol is taken to be more important or authoritative of the original entity, authenticity has been replaced by copy (thus reality is replaced by a substitute).

Stripping the place of its importance means that no place can any longer consider its own plight and potency, fullness or void, dramas played in and spectators they attract, as its private mattes. Places may (and do) propose, but it is now the turn of the unknown/uncontrolled/intractable/unpredictable forces roaming in the “space of flows” to dispose. Initiatives are as before local, but their consequences are now global, staying stubbornly beyond the predicting/planning/steering powers of the initiative’s birthplace, or any other place for that matter. Once launched, they – just as the notorious “intelligent missiles” – are fully and truly on their own. On Glocalization coming of Age. Causal-mechanisms theory in Europe.

The causal-mechanisms theory of social explanation has been influential throughout an extensive network of European philosophers and social scientists, often with a pretty direct connection to the analytical sociology research programme. Peter Hedstrom and his research network are particularly influential in this spread of ideas. It is worth mentioning a couple of books in the past ten years that have brought this approach to non-English speakers. Philosopher Michael Schmid published Die Logik mechanismischer Erklärungen (The Logic of Mechanistic Explanation) in 2006.

Schmid's book consists of careful analytical expositions of the theories of a dozen social scientists and philosophers who have advocated for this approach to social explanation, including both current and past proponents.

II. III. V. Thomas Kuhn. Thomas Kuhn. First published Fri Aug 13, 2004; substantive revision Thu Aug 11, 2011 Thomas Samuel Kuhn (1922–1996) is one of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century, perhaps the most influential. His 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is one of the most cited academic books of all time.

Kuhn's contribution to the philosophy of science marked not only a break with several key positivist doctrines, but also inaugurated a new style of philosophy of science that brought it closer to the history of science. His account of the development of science held that science enjoys periods of stable growth punctuated by revisionary revolutions. 1. Thomas Kuhn's academic life started in physics. This led Kuhn to concentrate on history of science and in due course he was appointed to an assistant professorship in general education and the history of science. In 1964 Kuhn left Berkeley to take up the position of M. 2. 3. Métamorphoses de l’idée d’empire à la Renaissance. Thierry Ménissier. Anthropology extracts the true nature of tech. Genevieve Bell, director of interaction and experience research at Intel Corporation, says when she approaches technology she is "less interested in thinking about the piece of technology itself and more interested in the kind of work that technology is trying to do and the larger context in which it finds itself.

" In the following interview, Bell discusses her experience as a "Thinker in Residence" and how anthropology concepts can be used to make tech more consumer centric. You were an Adelaide "Thinker in Residence" for South Australia. What does that involve? Genevieve Bell: The South Australian government over the last seven years has invested in a program to bring preeminent thinkers from around the world to tackle the problems of the future of the state. I was the first Australian, which was very odd. In order to come up with some sort of solid recommendations in that space, I chose to do something quite unusual for this project and in this program — I went and did fieldwork.
