In 20 essays inspired by Hannah Arendt's analysis of crisis-ridden modernity, Wolfgang R. Heuer addresses aspects of depoliticization and the loss of politics, and thus of freedom. The wide-ranging essays are grouped in five sections: When Politics Vanishes, The Call of Responsibility, Images and Emotions, Federations, and From Plurality to Cosmos. They lead to the insight that the crises of our time require a common change of perspective towards ecological and political sustainability, the unity of »Cosmos and Republic«.Mostra libro
Against Massacre looks at the rise of humanitarian intervention in the nineteenth century, from the fall of Napoleon to the First World War. Examining the concept from a historical perspective, Davide Rodogno explores the understudied cases of European interventions and noninterventions in the Ottoman Empire and brings a new view to this international practice for the contemporary era. While it is commonly believed that humanitarian interventions are a fairly recent development, Rodogno demonstrates that almost two centuries ago an international community, under the aegis of certain European powers, claimed a moral and political right to intervene in other states' affairs to save strangers from massacre, atrocity, or extermination. On some occasions, these powers acted to protect fellow Christians when allegedly "uncivilized" states, like the Ottoman Empire, violated a "right to life." Exploring the political, legal, and moral status, as well as European perceptions, of the Ottoman Empire, Rodogno investigates the reasons that were put forward to exclude the Ottomans from the so-called Family of Nations. He considers the claims and mixed motives of intervening states for aiding humanity, the relationship between public outcry and state action or inaction, and the bias and selectiveness of governments and campaigners. An original account of humanitarian interventions some two centuries ago, Against Massacre investigates the varied consequences of European involvement in the Ottoman Empire and the lessons that can be learned for similar actions today.Mostra libro
Social conditioning is the process by which individuals learn and internalize the values, beliefs, and behaviors that are considered acceptable within their society. From an early age, individuals are taught what is considered “normal” by their families, communities, schools, and media. These lessons shape how people think, act, and perceive the world around them, often without conscious awareness. Social conditioning operates on a fundamental level to ensure conformity to societal norms, providing structure and predictability in behavior, but it also has profound effects on individual freedom and personal identity. At its core, social conditioning involves the transmission of societal norms and expectations from one generation to the next. This transmission can occur through various channels, such as direct instruction, observation, and participation in social rituals. For example, a child may learn appropriate behavior through parental guidance, but they also learn by watching the actions of peers, teachers, and other authority figures. Over time, these external influences become internalized, and the individual’s beliefs and behaviors are shaped to align with societal expectations.Mostra libro
