Abstract

Explores the potential of globalisation to provide the conditions for a harmonious global community. Solidarity has been a mobilising word since the mid-19th century, conjuring images of united action in pursuit of social justice. Lawrence Wilde explores this concept and raises the question of whether solidarity among strangers is a meaningful aspiration in our globalising age. He critically examines the work of Rorty, Honneth, Touraine, Habermas and Fraser and shows how solidarity relates to nationalism, gender, religion and culture. Looking to the future, he explores the politics of global s

Abstract

Als ouder willen we het beste voor ons kind. We investeren massaal in tijd, energie, geduld en liefde. En toch zijn er vanaf de eerste dag onvermijdelijk ook andere hoofdrolspelers in het leven van ons kind, die ons niet per se volgen in onze opvoedingsstijl. Hoe pak je dat nu aan? Hoe spreek je de trainer aan op zijn aanpak waar je kind onzeker van wordt? Wat doe je met het ongevraagde advies van anderen dat je uit evenwicht brengt? Wat zeg je wel of niet op een oudercontact? Of tegen een grootouder? En vooral: hoe omring je je gezin met de juiste mensen? Op deze vragen gaat auteur Lynn Geerinck uitgebreid in. Ze ging te rade bij experten zoals ex-kinderrechtencommissaris en huidig directeur van het Agentschap Opgroeien Bruno Vanobbergen, psychotherapeut Ju?rgen Peeters en historica Noëmi Willemen. Daarnaast sprak Geerinck ook met gezinnen en merkt dat verschillende ouders worstelen met het vinden van een goed netwerk, maar ook met creatieve oplossingen voor de dag komen. Een must read voor elke ouder. (flaptekst)

Abstract

Can we understand important social issues by studying individual personalities and decisions? Or are societies somehow more than the people in them? Sociologists have long believed that psychology can't explain what happens when people work together in complex modern societies. In contrast, most psychologists and economists believe that if we have an accurate theory of how individuals make choices and act on them, we can explain pretty much everything about social life. Social Emergence takes a new approach to these longstanding questions. Sawyer argues that societies are complex dynamical systems, and that the best way to resolve these debates is by developing the concept of emergence, focusing on multiple levels of analysis - individuals, interactions, and groups - and with a dynamic focus on how social group phenomena emerge from communication processes among individual members. This book makes a unique contribution not only to complex systems research but also to social theory.

Abstract

Gerard Delanty provides a comprehensive assessment of the idea of cosmopolitanism in social and political thought which links cosmopolitan theory with critical social theory. He argues that cosmopolitanism has a critical dimension which offers a solution to one of the weaknesses in the critical theory tradition: failure to respond to the challenges of globalization and intercultural communication. Critical cosmopolitanism, he proposes, is an approach that is not only relevant to social scientific analysis but also normatively grounded in a critical attitude. Delanty's argument for a critical, sociologically oriented cosmopolitanism aims to avoid, on the one hand, purely normative conceptions of cosmopolitanism and, on the other, approaches that reduce cosmopolitanism to the empirical expression of diversity. He attempts to take cosmopolitan theory beyond the largely Western context with which it has generally been associated, claiming that cosmopolitan analysis must now take into account non-Western expressions of cosmopolitanism.
