Moral Systems and the Evolution of Human Rights
- Edition
- 1 edition
View details
Annotation: This volume offers a comprehensible account of the development and evolution of moral systems. It seeks to answer the following questions: If morals are eternal and unchanging, why have the world’s dominant religious moral systems been around for no more than a mere six thousand of the two hundred thousand years of modern human existence? What explains the many and varied moral systems across the globe today? How can we account for the significant change in moral values in one place in less than 100 years’ time? Using examples from classical civilizations, the book demonstrates how increasing diversity compromises a moral system’s ability to account for and integrate larger populations into a single social unit. This environmental stress is not relieved until a broader, more abstract moral system is adopted by a social system. This new system provides a sense of belonging and purpose for more people, motivating them to engage in prosocial (or moral) acts and refrain from socially disruptive selfish acts. The current human rights paradigm is the world’s first universal, indigenous moral system. Because moral systems can be expected to continue to evolve, this book points to current boundaries of the human rights paradigm and where the next major moral revolution might emerge.

Other title information: Pioneer in Cosmopolitan Sociology and Risk Society
Annotation: This book presents Ulrich Beck, one of the world’s leading sociologists and social thinkers, as a Pioneer in Cosmopolitan Sociology and Risk Society. His world risk society theory has been confirmed by recent disasters – events that have shaken modern society to the core, signaling the end of an era in which comprehensive insurance could keep us safe. Due to its own successes, modern society now faces failure: while in the past experiments were conducted in a lab, now the whole world is a test bed. Whether nuclear plants, genetically modified organisms, nanotechnology – if any of these experiments went wrong, the consequences would have a global impact and would be irreversible. Beck recommends ignoring the mathematical morality of expert opinions, which seek to identify the level of a given risk by calculating the probability of its occurrence. Instead, man’s fear of collapse should offer an opportunity for international cooperation and a cosmopolitan turn in the social sciences.

Symbol i Muzyka
View details
Annotation: This book is an entry into the symbolicism of music. The book consists of three chapters. In the first, I deal with the concept of the symbol itself. I discuss its genesis, history changing understanding, and above all - it's functioning in contemporary thought in such fields as sociology, cultural anthropology, semiotics or semiology, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and musicology. In the second chapter I present the problem of symbol and meaning in European music in a historical outline. The third chapter is my analysis of musical interpretations.

The eyes of justice
- Dependent title
- Seventh Round Table on Law and Semiotics
View details
Annotation: The general topic of this book, miscarried justice, is suggested by the title's allusion to the sightlessness of th proverbial representation of justice. Viewpoints from several academic disciplines, e.g. philosophy, sociology, linguistics, criminal justice, literary criticisms, and religious studies, are brought together with theories of law. This collection is not only interdisciplinary, but cross-cultural as well. The common language is 'legal semiotics', in both a Peircean and non_peircean idiolect. This collection is a rich cross-referential research tool for investigators of law and semiotics in all its aspects. -cover

Annotation: Alla gångbara cynismer och sofismer om konstnärliga schabloners ofrånkomlighet och subjektets undergång i vår komplicerade massmediala värld etc sopas bort av Bachtins enkla uppmaning att konsten på allvar, att svara på det tilltal som riktas mot en: "För det som jag förstått och upplevt i konsten är jag skyldig att ansvara med mitt liv, så att allt det som jag upplevt och förstått inte skall vara verkningslöst i livet." All common cynicisms and sophisms about the inevitability of artistic templates and the demise of the subject in our complicated mass media world, etc., are swept away by Bakhtin's simple call to take art seriously, to respond to the appeal that is made to one: "For what I have understood and experienced in art, I am obliged to be responsible with my life, so that all that I have experienced and understood shall not be ineffective in life."
