Springer Verlag, Singapore Mme de Staël and Political Liberalism in France
Book SynopsisThis book sheds light on the unique aspects of ‘communal liberalism’ in Mme de Staël’s writings and considers her contribution to nineteenth-century French liberal political thought. Focusing notably on the ‘Considérations sur les principaux événements de la Révolution française’, it examines the originality of Stael’s liberal philosophy. Rather than contrasting liberalism with either multiculturalism or republicanism, the book argues that Staël’s communal liberalism challenges the conventions of nineteenth-century political thought, notably through her assertion of the need to institutionalize an organic intermediary connecting the two spheres, an idea later advanced by thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas. Offering a critical reappraisal of Staël’s multifaceted work, this book assesses the political impact of her work, arguing that the political influence of the ‘Considérations’ permeates the liberal historiography of the French Revolution up to the present day.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Part 1: Germaine de Staël's Political Liberalism.- Invention of the Political Center as an Ideal: Staël and the Constitutional Monarchy (1789-1795).- Sentiment in Staëlian Political Liberalism: Letters on the Works and Character of J.-J.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Confucianism and the Chinese Self: Re-examining Max Weber’s China
Book SynopsisSetting the context for the upheavals and transformations of contemporary China, this text provides a re-assessment of Max Weber’s celebrated sociology of China. Returning to the sources drawn on by Weber in The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism, it offers an informed account of the Chinese institutions discussed and a concise discussion of Weber’s writings on ‘the rise of modern capitalism’. Notably it subjects Weber’s argument to critical scrutiny, arguing that he drew upon sources which infused the central European imagination of the time, constructing a sense of China in Europe, whilst European writers were constructing a particular image of imperial China and its Confucian framework. Re-examining Weber’s discussion of the role of the individual in Confucian thought and the subordination, in China, of the interests of the individual to those of the political community and the ancestral clan, this book offers a cutting edge contribution to the continuing debate on Weber’s RoC in East Asia today, against the background of the rise of modern capitalism in the “little dragons” of Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea, and the “big dragons” of Japan and the People’s Republic of China.Trade Review“The book is an interesting and reliable contribution to the discourses on contemporary Chinese sociology of religion; as a result, it is warmly recommended to all specialists in the field and to the general reader of Chinese culture, as well.” (Lehel Balogh, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 45 (2), June, 2019)“Max Weber's fascination with China has been well documented … . It is a must read for both Weber scholars and China specialists, and will be of great interest to comparative-historical sociologists. Summing Up: Essential. Graduate students/faculty.” (J. Li, Choice, Vol. 55 (9), May, 2018)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- China in Germany.- Confucianism.- Daoism.- Self-interest.- Magic.- Capitalism.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Stoicism and the Western Political Tradition
Book SynopsisThis book uniquely recovers and assesses Stoic political thought by tracking its uptake into Western modernity and exploring the extent of its impact. Classical Stoicism has lately seen a popular resurgence inspiring self-help books and therapeutic treatments for anxiety and depression. As a scholarly source for the Western political tradition, it is even more important. Yet, as A.A. Long once observed: “[o]f all the ancient philosophies, Stoicism has probably had the most diffused” yet least “adequately acknowledged influence on Western thought.” This close textual study not only provides the first systematic study of the political content of Stoic thought but also establishes the hitherto under-appreciated influence of classical Stoicism on the political thought of the long eighteenth century and beyond in Europe and particularly Britain. The Stoic ideas upon which we focus include their cosmopolitanism, their contribution to sociability and self-interest debates, their influence on modern feminism and utilitarianism, and their prefiguration of modern conceptions of personal rights.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction: Stoic Political Thought and its Relevance for the Early-Modern PeriodChapter 2: Eighteenth Century Sociability Debates: Stoicism and the Battle with Modern EpicureanismChapter 3: Stoic Cosmopolitanism and Enlightenment InternationalismChapter 4: Stoicism and Utilitarian ThoughtChapter 5: Stoicism, Proto-rights, Self-ownership and John LockeChapter 6: Stoic Feminism and Early Modern Women Writers.Chapter 7: Conclusion.Bibliography

Springer Verlag, Singapore The Ethics of Governance: Moral Limits of Policy
Book SynopsisThe Ethics of Governance: Moral Limits of Policy Decisions offers a toolbox drawn from normative ethics which finds applications in public governance, primarily focusing on policy making and executive action. It includes ethical concepts and principles culled from different philosophical traditions, ranging from more familiar Western theories to non-Western ethical perspectives, thereby providing a truly global, decolonized and expanded normative lens on issues of governance. The book takes a unique and original approach; it demonstrates the use of the ethical toolbox in the context of actual examples of governance challenges.Taking three major case studies each representing an aspect of human-human and/or human-nature and/or human-animal relationship, the book attempts to show the significance of public practical reasoning in policy decisions with the aim of arriving at reasonable responses. Acknowledging the challenges that policy makers often face, the book highlights the fact that policy making is hardly an exercise yielding a black-or-white solution; rather it involves finding the most reasonable normative outcome (course of action) in a given situation, especially employing an expanded understanding of values including well-being, sustainability, interdependence and community. This effort that helps bridge the gap between ethical theorists and policy practitioners exemplifies the necessary role of ‘engaged philosophy’ in public governance.In the major case studies, Boxes offer facts and figures along with pertinent ethical questions that have been raised and discussed. Aiming to aid the engagement of a diverse audience including non-philosophy readers, each chapter also includes Boxes containing examples, shorter case studies, at-a-glance charts, and tables with comprehensive ethical tools for a quick recap.Table of Contents Introduction.- Chapter 1: The Role of Public Practical Reasoning in Good Governance.- Chapter 2: Introducing the Cases.- Chapter 3: Western Consequence-based ethics: Cost versus Benefits.- Chapter 4: Principle-based ethics: ‘means’ versus ‘ends’.- Chapter 5: Human Well-being: Moving Beyond Social Welfare and Human Rights.- Chapter 6: Care, community, compassion and virtue: Decolonizing our Moral Landscape.- Chapter 7: Revisiting the Cases: The Ethical toolbox in Praxis.- Conclusion: Ethics of Governance: Moral Limits of Policy Decisions.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Friedrich Engels and the Foundations of Socialist Governance
Book SynopsisThis book states that the political systems of China, Vietnam, Cuba and other socialist countries are showing distinct maturity and ability to deal effectively with challenges – the most recent being the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to understand how they have developed their structures, it is time to return to the roots of the Marxist tradition and re-examine the question of socialist governance. It was Friedrich Engels (and less so Marx) who laid out some of the theoretical foundations for socialist governance. On the basis of extensive research in 1870s and 1880s, Engels developed his analysis of the nature of hitherto existing states as a ‘separated public power’; the role of the dictatorship of the proletariat and its exercise of power; the actual meaning of the ‘withering away of the state’, which would be one of the very last outcomes of socialist construction; and the nature of socialist governance itself. On this matter, he proposed a de-politicised public power that would stand in the midst of society and focus on managing the processes of production for the sake of the true interests of society.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Chapter 1. Separated Public Power: On Hitherto Existing States.- Chapter 2. Socialist Gewalt and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.- Chapter 3. Abolition or Dying Away of the State?.- Chapter 4. Towards Enmeshed Socialist Governance.- Conclusion

Cambridge University Press Cosmopolitan Regard Political Membership and
Book SynopsisCosmopolitan theory suggests that we should shift our moral attention from the local to the global. Richard Vernon argues, however, that if we adopt cosmopolitan beliefs about justice we must re-examine our beliefs about political obligation. Far from undermining the demands of citizenship, cosmopolitanism implies more demanding political obligations than theories of the state have traditionally recognized. Using examples including humanitarian intervention, international criminal law, and international political economy, Vernon suggests we have a responsibility not to enhance risks facing other societies and to assist them when their own risk-taking has failed. The central arguments in Cosmopolitan Regard are that what we owe to other societies rests on the same basis as what we owe to our own, and that a theory of cosmopolitanism must connect the responsibilities of citizens beyond their own borders with their obligations to one another.Trade Review'In this imaginative and ambitious book Richard Vernon sets out an attractive and sophisticated contractarian account of 'cosmopolitan regard' that offers a rich and innovative approach to global justice.' John Horton, Keele University'This clearly written book defends an account of patriotic concern that is compatible with the cosmopolitan ideal of equal regard for others. In defense of his own position, Vernon thoroughly and thoughtfully engages the extensive contemporary literature on this important question. The book can thus serve as a useful reference resource for students and scholars wanting to get familiar with the philosophical debates surrounding patriotism, membership and global justice.' Kok-Chor Tan, University of Pennsylvania'Richard Vernon's book makes an elegant contribution to debates in contemporary political philosophy about the moral basis of our political societies and its implications for the duties we have to those who fall outside of our associative universes of belonging.'

C. Grayling’s view, are climate change, technology and justice. In his timely new book, he asks: can human beings agree on a set of values that will allow us to confront the numerous threats facing the planet, or will we simply continue with our disagreements and antipathies as we collectively approach our possible extinction? As every day brings new stories about extreme weather events, spyware, lethal autonomous weapons systems, and the health imbalance between the northern and southern hemispheres, Grayling’s question - Is Global Agreement on Global Challenges Possible? - becomes ever more urgent. The solution he proposeTrade Review‘A truly excellent book.

Liberty Fund Inc Natural Rights on the Threshold of the Scottish
Book SynopsisGershom Carmichael was a teacher and writer who played an important role in the Scottish Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, not least by bringing the works of Grotius, Pufendorf, and Locke to the attention of his students and his readers throughout Europe. He drew upon the Reformed or Presbyterian theology taught in Scottish universities in that era to propose that in respecting the natural rights of individuals, one signifies one''s reverence for God''s creation. Inasmuch as all of mankind longs for lasting happiness or beatitude and such happiness can be found only in worship of or reverence for God, such reverence is the natural law which obliges all men to respect the rights of men and citizens
