Abstract

In recent years, ideas of conscience and the liberty of conscience have become ever more salient in public discourse. Historically, these concepts have been used to mark out a certain scope of freedom and protection in moral, political and legal conflicts. In our time, individual conscience is frequently used to legitimate objections to, for instance, military service and medical interventions like abortion and vaccination. So too in Sweden – a country widely described as one of the most modern and secularized societies in the world. In this volume, a group of researchers in history, human rights, law, ethics and sociology of religion address some of the most central issues around conscience and the liberty of conscience in Sweden from the middle ages to the present. By situating conscience and liberty in wider intellectual, social and political settings, the essays provide alternative ways of thinking about the most intractable problems surrounding these concepts – the relationship between law and morality, the tension between individual and collective freedom, as well as the role of religion in public affairs. This volume will create new avenues of research for scholars and students interested in challenges related to conscience and liberty: both those in ethics, politics and law seeking a historical perspective, and those in history who want to tie their studies to the present.

Abstract

Consciousness is among the last major frontiers of scientific research, and is situated at the meeting point of philosophy and science. Recently, new methodologies have made consciousness much more scientifically accessible, and particularly the study of disorders and disturbances of consciousness has added tremendously to our understanding of the biological basis of human consciousness. This is the first major book to examine this approach. The editors Steven Laureys and Giulio Tononi are leaders in the field, and the selected authors include major international players such as Antonio Damasio, Joseph Fins, Michael Gazzaniga, Christof Koch, Adrian Owen, Marcus Raichle, Nicholas Schiff and Wolf Singer. This book will be an indispensable resource for researchers and students in neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry and neurology, and to all working on the cognitive neuroscience of consciousness or on clinical disorders of consciousness. It will also be of great value for anybody thinking about consciousness as one of the philosophical, ethical, sociological, political and religious questions of our time.

Abstract

In a time of great agricultural and rural change, the notion of 'multifunctionality' has remained under-theorized and poorly linked to the debates in the social sciences. This book analyses the extent to which the proposed transition towards post-productivist agriculture holds up to scientific scrutiny, and proposes a new transition theory.

Abstract

Written by a team of eminent historians, these essays explore how ten twentieth-century intellectuals and social reformers sought to adapt such familiar Victorian values as `civilisation', `domesticity', `conscience' and `improvement' to modern conditions of democracy, feminism and mass culture. Covering such figures as J.M. Keynes, E.M. Forster and Lord Reith of the BBC, these interdisciplinary studies scrutinize the children of the Victorians at a time when their private assumptions and public positions were under increasing strain in a rapidly changing world.

Abstract

"Pribble investigates the barter economies that developed in many of the labor camps established under the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. When the Khmer Rouge abolished currency and markets in 1975, starving Cambodians created underground exchanges in labor camps throughout the country, bartering luxury items for food and other necessities, while simultaneously undermining the regime's ideological goals of eliminating any traces of capitalism in Democratic Kampuchea. Pribble asserts three key points about the barter economy in the Khmer Rouge labor camps. First, the underground exchanges in Democratic Kampuchea provided food and medicine for desperate people subsisting under a totalitarian regime, saving the lives of countless Cambodians. Second, bartering was the riskiest way to obtain food because it was dependent upon the discretion of two or more individuals from different social classes under the threat of violent punishment, thereby altering the social dynamics of the camps. Finally, despite the regime's extreme efforts to eliminate foreign influence from the country and impose communist ideology on millions of citizens, basic forms of market capitalism and a demand for superfluous luxury goods persisted in labor camps throughout the country. A fascinating study of the human consequences of imposing rigid ideology, that will be of particular interest to scholars and students of political history and Southeast Asian history"--

Abstract

Sigmund Freud, in his search for the origins of the sense of guilt in individual life and culture, regularly speaks of ""reading a dark trace"", thus referring to the Oedipus myth as a myth on the problem of human guilt. The sense of guilt is indeed a trace that leads deep into the individual's mental life, into his childhood life, and into the prehistory of culture and religion. In this book this trace is followed and thus Freud's thought on the sense of guilt as a central issue in his work is analyzed, from the earliest studies on the moral and ""guilty"" characters of the hysterics, via the

Abstract

Dave Boothroyd develops an original perspective on Levinas' account of the ethical Subject as contingently and empirically embedded in everyday experience. He reads Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, Foucault, Irigaray, Deleuze, Badiou and Nancy alongside Levinas to address ethical issues such as sexual difference, vulnerability, secrecy, communications, suffering, hospitality, friendship, censorship and death.
