An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding - Enriched edition

David Hume

Beschreibung

In "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding," David Hume presents a rigorous philosophical investigation into the nature and limits of human knowledge. Employing a clear and accessible prose style, Hume navigates the complexities of empiricism, skepticism, and the role of experience in shaping our understanding of the world. The work critiques metaphysical speculation and emphasizes the importance of empirical evidence, leading to Hume's famous assertions regarding causation and induction. This influential text serves as a foundational piece in modern philosophy, engaging with contemporary and historical thoughts, ultimately challenging readers to reconsider the nature of belief and knowledge. David Hume, a central figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, was profoundly influenced by the scientific advances of his time and the empirical traditions laid by earlier philosophers. His keen insights into human psychology, combined with his background in history, economics, and ethics, informed his exploration of how rationality and emotion intersect in forming human beliefs. Hume's own life experiences and intellectual environment shaped his skeptical approach, prompting him to interrogate deeply held assumptions about human understanding and the foundations of knowledge. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of epistemology and metaphysics. Hume's clear arguments and thought-provoking inquiries challenge readers to engage with timeless questions about knowledge and belief. Whether you are a student of philosophy or a curious reader, this examination of human understanding invites deep reflection and potentially transformative insights.

Familiar Violence - A History of...

Heather Montgomery

Child abuse casts a long shadow over the history of childhood. Across the centuries there are numerous accounts of children being beaten, neglected, sexually assaulted, or even killed by those closest to them. This book explores this darker side of childhood history, looking at what constituted cruelty towards children in the past and at the social responses towards it. Focusing primarily on England, it is a history of violence against children in their own homes, covering a large timeframe which extends from medieval times to the present. 
 
 
 
Undeniably, the experience of children in the past was often brutal, and children were treated with, what seems to contemporary mores, callousness and cruelty. However, historians have paid far less attention to how the mistreatment of children was understood within its contemporary context. Most parents, both now and in the past, loved their children and there have always been widely shared understandings of the boundaries that separate the acceptable treatment of children from the intolerable and morally wrong. This book will examine how these boundaries have changed and been contested over time and, in doing so, provides a context to the many forms of violence experienced by children in the past.

Movement Parties of the Far...

Pietro Castelli Gattinara,...

In an era of traditional political party decline, this book explores a new phase of nativist mobilization, in which street politics plays an increasingly important role. Movement parties offer an exceptional object of study since they challenge the conventional distinction between institutional and non-institutional politics. Examining the "production structure" of ten movement parties across nine European countries, the authors identify key factors that affect their engagement in protest activity. They address the organizational capacity, decision-making processes, and external mobilization of these collective actors using unique empirical material, including quantitative data on far-right protest mobilization spanning over a decade, protest network visualizations, and qualitative interviews with high-ranking officials. 
 
 
 
The book provides fresh insights into how the far right spreads its influence and relates to non-institutional politics, making it essential for anyone concerned about the way in which nativist collective actors transform society from the ground up. A compelling study looking at the relationship between electoral politics and grassroots activism, Movement Parties of the Far Right illuminates the complex organizational and strategic choices underlying far-right mobilization.
