Social Ties in Online Networking
This book explores the relevance of social networking from the perspective of its users to reveal the sociological significance of (inter)active experiences on Facebook. In doing so, the work examines obscure aspects of Facebook by addressing such questions as: What constitutes keeping in touch?; how is knowing of the other different from being with the other?; and why is the presence of others such an important element of Facebook? Social Ties in Online Networking discusses the significance of social networking activity through a collection of interviews with the users of Facebook. It analyses what they do, what they like and watch, but first and foremost how they intend their own actions and others’ actions to be perceived within the realm of social media. This book is an exploration of relationships, which will be of interest to academics and students in sociology, social theory, human geography, social networking, media studies and social psychology.
Aristotelian Protestantism in Legal Philosophy
This book contains the first-time English translation of the main work of Paul Scholten, the General Method of Private Law. The introductory article analyzes Scholten’s view in contrast with a particular combination of Comte’s centralizing optimization program and Neo-Kantian Idealism, which is still dominant in political philosophy. Comte’s sociology and Scholten’s Jurisprudentialism are not presented here in the well-known opposition of Sein and Sollen, but by showing how their different views on scientific method are grounded in opposite views on the philosophical, political and ethical meaning of human action. Neo-Kantianism adheres to Comte’s view, while Scholten adheres to th...
A Sociological Theory of Value
In this book, Natàlia Cantó Milà elaborates on Georg Simmel's relational approach to a theory of value, pointing at the heuristic possibilities that this approach offers to modern sociology and to a sociology of modernity. She does so by focusing on the theory of value Simmel developed in his »The Philosophy of Money«, delivering an alternative reading of this book that views its theory of value as its main axial point. Simmel's theory of value is depicted by Cantó Milà as including an intrinsically sociological aspect, since economic as well as moral, ethic and aesthetic values are conceived as resulting from human relations.
Business Ethics
Business Ethics provides a thorough review and analysis of business ethics issues using several learning tools: Strategic Stakeholder Management as the Theme: All chapters use a strategic stakeholder approach as a unifying theme.

By adopting this approach, students will be able to see how the various aspects of business ethics are connected. Theory-based and Application-based: All chapters have important applicable theories integrated with discussion of how such t...

Klimamigration - Ein Terminus zwischen Macht, Grenze & Recht
Die Migration aufgrund klimatischer Ursachen stellt in der Tat eine aktuelle und zukünftige globale Herausforderung dar. Doch ist ihre politische Dimension dabei nicht neu. Der Generaldirektor der Internationalen Organisation für Migration, William Lacy Swing, spricht von über 19 Millionen Binnenflüchtlingen im Jahr 2015, deren Migration auf Naturkatastrophen zurückzuführen ist. Politische und mediale Diskurse beschäftigen sich weltweit trotz dessen bis heute mit der Frage, ob es Klimamigration als alleinstellige Form der Migration gibt. Dabei bedarf es einer Diskussion um die rechtlichen und politischen Faktoren der Klimamigration. Diese wurde vor allem durch den Beschluss des UN-Men...
Plural Action
Collective Intentionality is a relatively new label for a basic social fact: the sharing of attitudes such as intentions, beliefs and emotions. This volume contributes to current research on collective intentionality by pursuing three aims. First, some of the main conceptual problems in the received literature are introduced, and a number of new insights into basic questions in the philosophy of collective intentionality are developed (part 1). Second, examples are given for the use of the analysis of collective intentionality in the theory and philosophy of the social sciences (part 2). Third, it is shown that this line of research opens up new perspectives on classical topics in the history of social philosophy and social science, and that, conversely, an inquiry into the history of ideas can lead to further refinement of our conceptual tools in the analysis of collective intentionality (part 3).
