 Free Download Nicolas Gachon, "Bernie Sanders's Democratic Socialism: Holding Utopia Accountable" English | ISBN: 303069660X | 2021 | 290 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book provides a framework for understanding and analyzing Bernie Sanders's democratic socialism, its origins, its maturation, and its evolution between 1972, when Sanders ran for the Vermont gubernatorial election for the first time, and 2020, when he made his second presidential run. The core argument is that Bernie Sanders's characteristic brand of socialism evolved from the mould of late 19th century utopian radicalism to radical demands for state and corporate accountability in the 21st century, turning into a social movement for reparative justice that rose to national prominence in the wake of the Great Recession in 2008 and of the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011.  Free Download Believing Is Seeing: Creating the Culture of Art By Mary Anne Staniszewski 1995 | 324 Pages | ISBN: 0140168249 | PDF | 17 MB black & white  Free Download Erik J Olsson, Sebastian Enqvist, "Belief Revision meets Philosophy of Science" English | 2010 | pages: 376 | ISBN: 9048196086, 940073400X | PDF | 4,2 mb Belief revision theory and philosophy of science both aspire to shed light on the dynamics of knowledge - on how our view of the world changes (typically) in the light of new evidence. Yet these two areas of research have long seemed strangely detached from each other, as witnessed by the small number of cross-references and researchers working in both domains. One may speculate as to what has brought about this surprising, and perhaps unfortunate, state of affairs. One factor may be that while belief revision theory has traditionally been pursued in a bottom- up manner, focusing on the endeavors of single inquirers, philosophers of science, inspired by logical empiricism, have tended to be more interested in science as a multi-agent or agent-independent phenomenon.
 Free Download Beklaute Frauen: Denkerinnen, Forscherinnen, Pionierinnen: Die unsichtbaren Heldinnen der Geschichte Deutsch | 2024 | ISBN: 3328603239 | 305 Seiten | EPUB (True) | 13 MB Muse, Sekretärin, Ehefrau - es gibt viele Bezeichnungen für Frauen, deren Einfluss aus der Geschichte radiert wurde. Für deren Leistungen Männer die Auszeichnungen und den Beifall bekamen: Wissenschaftlerinnen, deren Errungenschaften, im Gegensatz zu denen ihrer männlichen Kollegen, nicht anerkannt wurden. Autorinnen, die sich hinter männlichen Pseudonymen versteckten. Oder Künstlerinnen, die im Schatten ihrer Ehemänner in Vergessenheit geraten sind. Lebendig und unterhaltsam erzählt die Historikerin Leonie Schöler ihre Geschichten, sie zeigt, wer die Frauen sind, die unsere Gesellschaft bis heute wirklich vorangebracht haben. Und sie verdeutlicht, wie wichtig die Diskussion um Teilhabe und Sichtbarkeit ist. Dabei wird klar: Hinter jedem erfolgreichen Mann steht ein System, das ihn bestärkt; vor allen anderen steht ein System, das sie aufhält.
 Free Download Richard Iveson Postdoctoral Research Fel, "Being and Not Being: End Times of Posthumanism and the Future Undoing of Philosophy" English | ISBN: 1538188228 | 2023 | 280 pages | PDF | 2 MB Against the grain of many contemporary theoretical positions that indulge in delusions of safety and certainty, Being and Not Being argues that contingency is definitive of the structure of being itself. As a result, any predictions about the future founded upon present or habitual states of being are necessarily subject to possible error given the unpredictability that is the condition of all emergent forms of being. Rather than signal the absenceof an ethical dimension, this prior inscription of potential, which gives rise to profoundly unforeseen forms of being, necessarily invokes an a priori ethical demand that is common to biological and technological systems alike. This ethical demand transforms the 'rules' of critical and ethical engagement not simply with other, 'inhuman' forms of being, but with the future itself. Indeed, this ethical demand requires us to pose serious questions about the legitimacy and usefulness of any decisions made today on the back of predicted futures that erroneously presume the absolute determinability of all beings lacking the alchemical privilege definitive of life. As the exemplary figure of unfounded privilege, it is with Hamlet that the question of life ultimately ends, replaced instead by the extremophile as the figure of unforeseen futures that simply cannot be imagined in the present.

Free Download Behind the Mask Gender Hybridity in a Zapotec Community By Alfredo Mirandé 2017 | 284 Pages | ISBN: 0816539553 | PDF | 3 MB The image of biologically male people dancing while dressed in the traditional, colorful attire of Zapotec, Juchiteca, females stands in sharp contrast to the prevailing view of Mexico as the land of charros, machismo, and unbridled ranchero masculinity. These indigenous people are called los muxes, and they are neither man nor woman, but rather a hybrid third gender.After seeing a video of a muxe vela, or festival, sociologist Alfredo Mirandé was intrigued by the contradiction between Mexico's patriarchal reputation and its warm acceptance of los muxes. Seeking to get past traditional Mexican masculinity, he presents us with Behind the Mask, which combines historical analysis, ethnographic field research, and interviews conducted with los muxes of Juchitán over a period of seven years. Mirandé observed community events, attended muxe velas, and interviewed both muxes and other Juchitán residents. Prefaced by an overview of the study methods and sample, the book challenges the ideology of a male-dominated Mexican society driven by the cult of machismo, featuring photos alongside four appendixes.Delving into many aspects of their lives and culture, the author discusses how the muxes are perceived by others, how the muxes perceive themselves, and the acceptance of a third gender status among various North American indigenous groups. Mirandé compares traditional Mexicano/Latino conceptions of gender and sexuality to modern or Western object choice configurations. He concludes by proposing a new hybrid model for rethinking these seemingly contradictory and conflicting gender systems.  Free Download Behemoth: Main Currents in the History and Theory of Political Sociology By Irving Louis Horowitz 1999 | 487 Pages | ISBN: 0765806274 | EPUB | 1 MB The title,Behemoth, derives from the Hebrew wordBehemah-a beast, an enormous creature, monstrously huge and vast. It is an apt description of the State on the eve of the twenty-first century. Loved by few, vilified by many from all perspectives, it nonetheless continues to grow; by turns rivaling and co-opting that more pleasant-sounding word: Society. Political sociology aims to define and understand the interrelationship between these two huge terms: State and Society.Continuing in a path begun by Horowitz in the 1950s inThe Idea of War and Peace in Contemporary Social and Philosophical Thought, expanded upon in the 1970s withFoundations of Political Sociology, this summing up in the late 1990s is an effort to extract and evolve the canon of political sociology. Starting with Montesquieu, Horowitz proceeds through the European experience of Rousseau, Tocqueville, Hegel, Marx, Durkheim, Sorel, and Weber. He then takes the field on its tangled migration to America with the Frankfurt School in exile, followed by searching chapters on Schumpeter, Mills, Arendt, and Huntington, among others.The result is a stunning revaluation of the intellectual sources of the present day divisions between statists and socialists, welfarists and individualists, advocates of dictatorship and of democracy, mandated rules and voluntary association, hard realists and soft utopians, a world without states and a world with a single state. Horowitz does not offer the usual evolutionary notion of doctrines, but a canon embedded in and embattled with the societies they aim to serve or overthrow in the present as in the past. The result is a major recasting of the theory and practice of social science and normative frameworks.The final chapter offers Horowitz's own prognosis of what we can expect in the recasting of the Welfare State to include the Welfare Society, and its growing nemesis the global economy which threatens to engulf State and Society alike in a return to civilizational concerns. This is an essential text for policy-makers and social scientists interested in macroscopic changes in the political order.
