Cambridge University Press Hegel A Biography
Book SynopsisOne of the founders of modern philosophical thought Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770â1831) has gained the reputation of being one of the most abstruse and impenetrable of thinkers. This major biography of Hegel offers not only a complete account of the life, but also a perspicuous overview of the key philosophical concepts in Hegel's work in a style that will be accessible to professionals and non-professionals alike. Terry Pinkard situates Hegel firmly in the historical context of his times. The story of that life is of an ambitious, powerful thinker living in a period of great tumult dominated by the figure of Napoleon. The Hegel who emerges from this account is a complex, fascinating figure of European modernity, who offers us a still compelling examination of that new world born out of the political, industrial, social, and scientific revolutions of his period.Trade Review'… this is the most rounded and reliable life of Hegel there has ever been.' London Review of Books'Terry Pinkard's biography is of the first rank. … [The] known material has never been marshalled with more spacious clarity.' Observer'… makes [Hegel] into a real human being whose philosophical odyssey becomes credible, even touching.'

Book SynopsisKant is the central figure of modern philosophy. He sought to rebuild philosophy from the ground up, and he succeeded in permanently changing its problems and methods.

Cambridge University Press The Philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir Ambiguity Conversion Resistance 91 Ideas in Context Series Number 91
Book SynopsisStudies of Simone de Beauvoir have mostly concentrated on her literature, her life, and her famous 1949 work, The Second Sex, and the continued emphasis has been on Beauvoir's views on gender. The Philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir places her theory of women's 'otherness' in the context of a number of contemporary theories on a similar subject. While gender takes its place among these, Professor Deutscher counterbalances its grip on our memory of Beauvoir's ideas by situating it in the context of our relationship to ageing, to generational difference, and to race and cultural difference. By differentiating the many aspects of 'otherness', Beauvoir revisited some of the concepts of reciprocity, ambiguity, and ethics for which she is best remembered.Trade Review'… Deutscher elegantly unpicks some of the assumptions behind Beauvoir's work … The case which [she] argues here is both powerful and very subtle and she is able to bring together the various strands in Beauvoir's work in a way which is extremely helpful and illuminating. … little to fault … Penelope Deutscher has made a very considerable contribution to scholarship about Beauvoir.' Marx and Philosophy Review of BooksTable of ContentsIntroduction: Simone de Beauvoir's conversions; 1. Conversions of ambiguity; 2. American bad faith; 3. Conversions of repetition; 4. Conversions of alterity: race, sex, age; 5. Conversions of reciprocity; Conclusion.

James Clarke & Co Ltd 21stCentury Statecraft
Book SynopsisFrom civilisational frontier risks associated with new challenges like disruptive technologies, to the shifting nature of great-power conflicts and subversion, the 21stcentury requires a new approach to statecraft. In 21st-Century Statecraft, Professor Nayef Al-Rodhan proposes five innovative statecraft concepts. He makes the case for a new method of geopolitical analysis called ''meta-geopolitics'', and for ''dignity-based governance''. He shows how, in an interdependent and interconnected world, traditional thinking must move beyond zero-sum games and focus on ''multi-sum and symbiotic realist'' interstate relations. This requires a new paradigm of global security premised on five dimensions of security, and a new concept of power, ''just power'', which highlights the centrality of justice to state interests. These concepts enable states to balance competing interests and work towards what the author calls ''reconciliation statecraft''. Throughout, Professor Al-Rodhan brings his philTrade ReviewIn a world of accelerating global crises this volume offers a comprehensive attempt to update and extend geopolitical theorizing. Its innovative ideas of symbiotic realism and sustainable national security add essential new concepts to help tease out the complexities of international politics. Essential reading for students of our global predicament. Professor Simon Dalby, author of Anthropocene Geopolitics The reheating of European conflicts and great-power rivalries combined with the meteoric rise of disruptive technologies reminds us that a new, inter-disciplinary approach to statecraft is long overdue. 21st-Century Statecraft presents a sobering analysis of the challenges faced by modern statesmanship that is in tune with the times. With insightful pointers and a glimmer of hope, Professor Al-Rodhan's thrilling examination of the transformation of state power over the last two decades, is required reading for students and practitioners of diplomacy, power, and justice. Emmanuel Dupuy, President of l'Institut Prospective et Sécurité en Europe This is the ultimate geopolitics reader. At a moment in which great power competition has once again taken front seat in global debates, Professor Nayef Al-Rodhan has relaunched a fresh edition of this modern classic of international relations theory. An invaluable resource to both scholars and the interested public, this volume will help you understand states' complex interests, dilemmas, trade-offs, systemic competition and potential cooperation.Writing in a highly accessible style and drawing from an impressive breadth of expertise, Al-Rodhan manages to explain the core elements of global geopolitics in a dense yet gripping fashion. Illustrating solid theoretical background with many practical examples, Al-Rodhan suggests a paradigm shift in how we understand and conduct contemporary statecraft to find sustainable, ethical solutions to the multi-layered challenges of our time. If you read only one book about geopolitics, it should be this one. Kristina Kausch, Senior Resident Fellow, The German Marshall Fund of the United States Al-Rodhan (Oxford Univ., UK) aspires to be a peacemaker and settle the ongoing battle between those who view the nation-state as the foundation of international relations and those who see the nation-state disappearing amid the relentless pressure of globalization. He uses various labels to describe this new synthesizing approach. The one that caught this reviewer's eye was described at length in Chapter 5, "Dignity-Based Governance." Al-Rodhan rightly appreciates that most, if not all, humans seek dignity. Further, he correctly understands that nation-states are institutional vehicles that protect and advance the dignity of their citizens. However, the book starts to go off track by arguing that the quest for dignity is grounded in neuroscience. Al-Rodhan's attempt to craft a "neurophilosophy" that state leaders can use is less than convincing. Readers may applaud the effort to forge a new synthesis, but results-oriented state leaders will be left scratching their heads over how to use neurophilosophy as the new form of statecraft. The 27 case studies toward the end of the book do little to help. Neither nation-state realists nor globalists will abandon their entrenched positions for this approach. J. A. Stever, emeritus, University of Cincinnati, CHOICE, April 2023 Praise for the original edition: This book provides a carefully crafted description of how the international system is being transformed and defines the challenges facing contemporary statecraft in handling that transformation. Nayef Al-Rodhan has undertaken this enormous task by defining the concept of meta-geopolitics and addressing potential future problems while making full use of the analytical tools that he has developed. It is a unique and intellectually courageous undertaking that will help us gain deeper insights into the many dimensions of current and future security challenges. Ambassador Rolf Ekéus, Chairman of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Stockholm, Sweden This book offers a refreshing and ambitious re-examination of the nature of statecraft and geopolitics and contains a number of relevant concepts that can be translated into brand-new research and ambitious policy goals. Building on a number of his previous concepts, the author continues a remarkable endeavour aimed at updating and adapting traditional geopolitical perceptions. Step by step, brick after brick, the author is clearly building a major comprehensive contribution to strategic thinking and diplomacy.

Cambridge University Press Orientation in European Romanticism
Book SynopsisExploring the experiments in individual and national self-consciousness conducted during the Romantic period, this essential comparative study of European literature, philosophy and politics makes original and often surprising connections and contrasts to reveal how personal and social identities were re-orientated and disorientated from the French Revolution onwards. Reviving a contested moment in the history of aesthetic theory, this study shows how the growing awareness of irresolution in Kant''s third Kritik allowed Romantic writers to put the aesthetic to radical uses not envisaged by its parent philosophy. It also recounts how they would go on to force philosophy to revise received notions of authority, empowering women and subordinated ethnic groups to re-orientate existing hierarchies. The sheer range and variety of writers covered is testament both to the breadth of writing that Kant''s philosophy so rashly legitimated and to the wider importance of philosophy to the understanTable of ContentsPart I.
