What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

Philosophers Bob Fischer and Anja Jauernig agree that human society often treats animals in indefensible ways and that all animals morally matter; they disagree on whether humans and animals morally matter equally. In What Do We Owe Other Animals?: A Debate Fischer and Jauernig square off over this central question in animal ethics. Jauernig defends the view that all living beings morally matter equally and are owed compassion on account of which we are also obligated to adopt a vegan diet. Fischer denies that we have an obligation to become vegans and argues for the position that humans morally matter more than all other living creatures. The two authors each offer a clear well-developed opening statement a direct response to the other’s statement and then a response to the other’s response. Along the way they explore central questions like: What kind of beings matter morally? What kind of obligations do we have towards other animals? How demanding can we reasonably expect these obligations to be? Do our individual consumer choices such as the choice to purchase factory-farmed animal products make a difference to the wellbeing of animals? The debate is helpfully framed by introductions and conclusions to each of the major parts and by smaller introductions to each of the sub-sections. A Foreword by Dustin Crummett sets the context for the debate within a larger discussion of sentience moral standing reason-guided compassion and the larger field of animal ethics. Key Features Showcases the presentation and defense of two points of view on the moral worth of non-human animals Provides frequent summaries of previously covered material Includes a topically-organized list of Further Readings and a Glossary of all specialized vocabulary | What Do We Owe Other Animals?

What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

When it comes to sex the Bible is marred by inequality. To address the consequences of that What the Bible Says About Sex asserts that modern perspectives on sexuality and gender should be separated from the more constraining historical views of traditional biblical interpretation. What does the Bible say about sexuality? How have traditions of biblical interpretation influenced our understanding of sex and gender? What the Bible Says About Sex answers that and many other questions. Not shy it analyzes why the Church claimed dominion over marriage while the female body remained a source of potential evil. It wrestles with how sexuality is used not only in the past but also in the present to reinforce notions of honor and how it can be used to manipulate others. Deftly it handles a discussion of semen as both profane and the seed of life. It looks brazenly at the pornographic and the erotic passages of the Bible and how traditions of interpretation veiled them. With the Bible frequently invoked to support arguments in the present age over the moral limits of sexuality and gender having a greater awareness of what the Bible says about sex and how it is and has been interpreted is critical now more than ever. What the Bible Says About Sex is suitable for students scholars and the general reader with an interest in sexuality and the Bible and sex and desire in both ancient and modern Christianity. | What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

The volume concludes with a chapter by Richard Freeman in which he assesses the arguments and evidence presented in the other chapters and presents his evaluation of how What Do Unions Do? stands up in the light of twenty years of additional experience and research.

Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It

Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It

This is an original accessible book for scholars students activists and the general public on the greatest crisis the world has faced. The authors challenge the widespread notion that a green and peaceful set of technological reforms in the current economic and political system – perhaps a “green capitalism” – can prevent disaster. Dying for Capitalism analyzes the “triangle of extinction” that links capitalism environmental destruction and militarism as a system that cannot sustain life on the planet. The authors analyze how the extinction triangle evolved historically how it functions globally as integral to the world capitalist order and how the United States has become the dominant “extinction nation. ” They also show how recent anti-democratic and anti-scientific cultural and political forces intensify denial of the threat and subordinate health and survival to profit and extreme concentrated power. The book offers a “slender path” of social and political transformation that can prevent catastrophe. The path requires moving beyond current ruling systems. But possibilities of survival arise from action at local state regional and global levels through multiple strategies and movements that already exist. The authors draw on the history of abolitionism and emancipation from slavery in the United States to show how a system that appears unchangeable can be transformed while describing organizations movements and practices that are models of hope and a shift from the triangle of extinction to the “circle of creation. ” | Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It

Unchecked Corporate Power Why the Crimes of Multinational Corporations Are Routinized Away and What We Can Do About It

Unchecked Corporate Power Why the Crimes of Multinational Corporations Are Routinized Away and What We Can Do About It

Why are crimes of the suite punished more leniently than crimes of the street? When police killings of citizens go unpunished political torture is sanctioned by the state and the financial frauds of Wall Street traders remain unprosecuted nothing succeeds with such regularity as the active failures of national states to obstruct the crimes of the powerful. Written from the perspective of global sustainability and as an unflinching and unforgiving exposé of the full range of the crimes of the powerful Unchecked Corporate Power reveals how legalized authorities and political institutions charged with the duty of protecting citizens from law-breaking and injurious activities have increasingly become enablers and colluders with the very enterprises they are obliged to regulate. Here Gregg Barak explains why the United States and other countries are duplicitous in their harsh reactions to street crimes in comparison to the significantly more harmful and far-reaching crimes of the powerful and why the crimes of the powerful are treated as beyond incrimination. What happens to nations that surrender ever-growing economic and political power to the globally super rich and the mammoth multinational corporations they control? And what can people from around the world do to resist the criminality and victimization perpetrated by multinationals and generated by the prevailing global political economy? Barak examines an array of multinational crimes—corporate environmental financial and state—and their state-legal responses and outlines policies and strategies for revolutionizing these contradictory relations of capital reproduction criminality and unsustainability. | Unchecked Corporate Power Why the Crimes of Multinational Corporations Are Routinized Away and What We Can Do About It

We Count We Matter Voice Choice and the Death of Distance

We Count We Matter Voice Choice and the Death of Distance

This book examines the meaning of Brexit the election of Trump and the rising tide of populist revolt on the right amidst the collapse of the left. Exploring the reaction against the establishment or ‘the system’ the author contends that we are witnessing a new divide between those who wish to see an interconnected world and those who seek distance: as transport and technology shrink the world we witness a backlash that favours protectionism and opposes immigration. Distance is the new frontier: for some remote players are rejected in favour of identities closer to home. This divide plays out in relation to the notion of ‘face’ as individuals react to ‘faceless’ organisations and processes such as globalisation and automation responding to a sense of alienation on social media and developing a conception of themselves as networked individuals. Thus we move towards a type of society characterised not by honour and dishonour or right and wrong but by voice and choice. A fascinating and very accessible analysis of the divisions and transformations that have come to dominate the contemporary landscape this book will appeal to political leaders and social scientists with interests in globalisation social movements and social theory. | We Count We Matter Voice Choice and the Death of Distance

How We Experience Modern Verse

How We Experience Modern Verse

Poetry moves us. Sometimes a poem changes our life. Then we analyze it as a cultural artifact with no special connection to us. An extensive critical apparatus enables us to develop sophisticated interpretations but we dismiss as idiosyncratic even life-changing experiences of poetry. We need an apparatus to unfold our experience of reading poems into a more effective relationship with the world. Modern poets in particular wrote prophetic verse for this purpose. Archetypal psychology and phenomenology describe the soul that modern poetry moves in us. Three prosodic mechanisms activate the psyche. The polyphony of accentual and quantitative versification creates depth to lure the soul. Aural images reshape the reader’s stream of consciousness. Readers follow the movement of blocks of verse across the expanse of the page with what Maurice Merleau-Ponty terms the phenomenal body. These mechanisms reach us at the collective level of consciousness and generate the power we need to solve big collective challenges such as race climate change and inequality. | How We Experience Modern Verse

Women Do Genre in Film and Television

Women Do Genre in Film and Television

Winner of first Prize in the BAFTSS Best Edited Collection competition this volume examines how different generations of women work within the genericity of audio-visual storytelling not necessarily to ‘undo’ or ‘subvert’ popular formats but also to draw on their generative force. Recent examples of filmmakers and creative practitioners within and outside Hollywood as well as women working in non-directing authorial roles remind us that women are in various ways authoring commercially and culturally impactful texts across a range of genres. Put simply this volume asks: what do women who are creatively engaged with audio-visual industries do with genre and what does genre do with them? The contributors to the collection respond to this question from diverse perspectives and with different answers spanning issues of direction screenwriting performance and audience address/reception. | Women Do Genre in Film and Television

What We See and What We Say Using Images in Research Therapy Empowerment and Social Change

What We See and What We Say Using Images in Research Therapy Empowerment and Social Change

Image-based research methods such as arts-based research can fill the absence of the voice of impoverished under-privileged populations. In What We See and What We Say Ephrat Huss argues that images are deep and universally psycho-neurological constructs through which people process their experiences. The theoretical model demonstrated in this book demonstrates that images can be used to enable three different levels of communication: with self with others similar to oneself and with others who differ in terms of culture and power. Dr. Huss centers her argument on a case study of impoverished Bedouin women’s groups in Israel who used art as self-expression and includes many additional examples such as unemployed women and teenage girls in slums women who have underwent sexual abuse and the experiences of illegal immigrants. Ultimately the author points to how the inherent structural characteristics of images help to intensify the voices of marginalized groups in research therapy empowerment and social action. | What We See and What We Say Using Images in Research Therapy Empowerment and Social Change

Do Teachers Care About Truth? Epistemological Issues for Education

Do Teachers Care About Truth? Epistemological Issues for Education

This book first published in 1987 examines the notion of truth and then discusses knowledge and the way in which much of our knowledge revises or rejects the common-sense we start from. The author argues that our knowledge is not as secure as some would like to think and that there are important limits to the possibility for explanation. He shows how values permeate our ordinary thinking and argues against the objectivity of these values showing the practical consequences of this argument for teaching in schools. This stimulating approach to a fundamental educational issue does not require previous experience of formal philosophy and will be useful to both education students and teachers in schools. | Do Teachers Care About Truth?

Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

The past ten years have seen local government in the UK facing two major challenges: to survive in the face of Thatcher government hostility and to adapt to enormously powerful forces of economic restructuring which have also been encouraged by government policies. The key aspects of these changing fortunes of British towns explored in this important new book is the ability of individual localities to exercise any control over their own growth and decline. Place Policy and Politics examines local political initiatives seeking to influence economic and social development in seven sharply contrasting localities ranging from the outer council estates of Merseyside to the boom towns of Cheltenham and Swindon. Throughout their analysis the contributors drawn from a wide range of social science disciplines address the vital questions in the debate over local policy initiatives including: To what extent are localities able to harness trends in the national and international economy to provide jobs and a better standard of living for their inhabitants? Why do local authorities vary in their capacity to initiate economic policy? To what extent do national urban and other policies inhibit or encourage their efforts? How might central government modify its policies to facilitate the prospering of localities? | Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?
