Auguste Comte and Positivism - Exploring the Evolution of Sociological Thought through Positivism and Empirical Evidence

John Stuart Mill

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Auguste Comte and Positivism," John Stuart Mill offers a comprehensive examination of the philosophical framework proposed by Auguste Comte, the father of positivism. Mill's text is marked by a critical yet appreciative tone, demonstrating his engagement with Comte's ideas on science and society. He navigates through the intricacies of positivism, elucidating its core tenets while also addressing its implications for epistemology and ethical thought. This work is situated in the broader context of 19th-century Enlightenment ideals, reflecting Mill's commitment to empiricism and rationality while simultaneously grappling with the limitations of Comte's systematic approach to understanding social phenomena. John Stuart Mill, a prominent figure in classical liberalism, was heavily influenced by the intellectual milieu of his time, including the works of Jeremy Bentham and the evolution of scientific reasoning. His keen interest in social reform, derived from his background and personal experiences within a utilitarian household, guided his exploration of Comte'Äôs ideas. Mill'Äôs philosophical background and his advocacy for liberty and individuality informed his perspective on positivism, as he sought to reconcile scientific inquiry with ethical considerations. "Auguste Comte and Positivism" is a must-read for scholars and students alike who seek to understand the interplay between science, philosophy, and sociology. Mill'Äôs critical analysis not only enriches our comprehension of positivism but also offers valuable insights into the perennial questions of knowledge, progress, and human values. This book provides a pivotal lens through which to examine the evolution of social thought and is essential for anyone interested in the foundations of modern philosophy.

Can Deliberation Cure the Ills...

James S. Fishkin

In our modern world of propaganda, social media enclaves, misinformation, and manipulation, the connection between "the will of the people" and political action has broken down, political divisions are becoming increasingly intractable, and democracies are growing ever more ungovernable. Democracy is in crisis. 
 
 
 
In Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?, James S. Fishkin argues that deliberative democracy can have surprisingly positive effects on all of these problems and charts a unique path to fixing them with his method of Deliberative Polling. After decades of applying and perfecting the methods of deliberative democracy in countries all over the world, this book synthesizes the results of 150 applications and shows how the method can be applied to resolve many of democracy's seemingly intractable challenges. It can clarify the public will and depolarize our divisions. 
 
 
 
Fishkin demonstrates that deliberative democracy is a practical solution if applied widely and lays out a vision for how to combine elections with deliberation to build a more deliberative society, one that cures our extreme partisanship and leads to substantive dialogues that foster mutual respect and more engaged voters. Deliberation provides a story of thoughtful empowerment and democratic reform, strengthening but not replacing our current institutions.

Philosophy of Knowledge and...

Hector Davidson

This book contains these two titles: 
- Philosophy of Language: Language plays a fundamental role in human life, functioning not only as a means of communication but as a structure that shapes the way we think, perceive, and understand the world. The philosophy of language seeks to unravel the complex relationships between words, meanings, and reality, exploring how language functions, how it conveys meaning, and how it relates to the world and our experiences. This chapter serves as an introduction to these foundational issues and provides an overview of the central questions and debates within the philosophy of language. 
- Pragmatism:  Pragmatism is a philosophy that emphasizes the practical application of ideas by focusing on their consequences and real-world outcomes. Rooted in the belief that thought should be guided by experience, pragmatism challenges the notion of abstract, detached theorizing. Rather than searching for eternal truths or fixed principles, pragmatists argue that the value of ideas is measured by their usefulness in addressing human needs and solving practical problems. This approach seeks to bridge the gap between philosophy and everyday life, transforming ideas into action.

How to Lose the Hounds - Maroon...

Celeste Winston

In How to Lose the Hounds Celeste Winston explores marronage—the practice of flight from and placemaking beyond slavery—as a guide to police abolition. She examines historically Black maroon communities in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, that have been subjected to violent excesses of police power from slavery until the present day. Tracing the long and ongoing historical geography of Black freedom struggles in the face of anti-Black police violence in these communities, Winston shows how marronage provides critical lessons for reimagining public safety and community well-being. These freedom struggles take place in what Winston calls maroon geographies—sites of flight from slavery and the spaces of freedom produced in multigenerational Black communities. Maroon geographies constitute part of a Black placemaking tradition that asserts life-affirming forms of community. Winston contends that maroon geographies operate as a central method of Black flight, holding ground, and constructing places of freedom in ways that imagine and plan a world beyond policing.
