The Ethics and Economics of Liberal Democracies
Rarely in the short history of liberal-democratic government has a primer on basic liberal-democratic values and institutions been more needed than now. Popular discontent, even anger, with democratic governments has grown steadily over the past twenty years. Not since the 1930s have citizens and their elected officials been so baffled about their respective roles in the maintenance of both democratic governments and liberal economies. This book attempts to address this growing need. Especially written as a primer for courses in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), it has introductory chapters on all three main disciplines. It also has chapters on the rule of law and on three important ...
The Cancel Culture Panic
Fear of cancel culture has gripped the world, and it turns out to be an old fear in a new get-up. In this incisive new work, Adrian Daub analyzes the global spread of cancel culture discourse as a moral panic, showing that, though its object is fuzzy, talk of cancel culture in global media has become a preoccupation of an embattled liberalism. There are plenty of conservative voices who gin up worries about cancel culture to advance their agendas. But more remarkable perhaps is that it is centrist, even left-leaning, media that has taken up the rallying cry and really defined the outlines of what cancel culture is supposed to be. Media in Western Europe, South America, Russia, and Australia ...
The Logic of Social Practices II
This book reports on cutting-edge research concerning social practices. Merging perspectives from various disciplines, including philosophy, biology, psychology and cognitive science, and economy, it discusses theoretical aspects of social behavior along with models to investigate them, and presenting key case studies as well. Further, it describes concepts related to habits, routines, and rituals and examines important features of human action, such as intentionality and choice, exploring the influence of specific social practices in different situations. Based on a workshop held on April 2022 at the World Congress on Universal Logic (UNILOG 22), in Crete, and including additional invited chapters, the book offers fresh insights into the fields of social practice and the cognitive, computational, and philosophical tools to understand them.

National History and New Nationalism in the Twenty-First Century
National history has once again become a battlefield. In internal political conflicts, which are fought on the terrain of popular culture, museums, schoolbooks, and memorial politics, it has taken on a newly important and contested role. Irrespective of national specifics, the narratives of new nationalism are quite similar everywhere. National history is said to stretch back many centuries, expressesing the historical continuity of a homogeneous people and its timeless character. This people struggles for independence, guided by towering leaders and inspired by the sacrifice of martyrs. Unlike earlier forms of nationalism, the main enemies are no longer neighbouring states, but internationa...

Wir wollen alles, und zwar subito!
1980: Scheinbar aus heiterem Himmel brachen in Zürich, Bern, Basel und in anderen Schweizer Städten Jugendkrawalle aus. Die Öffentlichkeit staunte über eine neu entstandene soziale Bewegung, die mit Fantasie verblüffte und mit Gewaltbereitschaft erschreckte. Obwohl ihre Anliegen - neue Wohnformen, kulturelle Freiräume, Legalisierung weicher Drogen, Kampf dem Überwachungsstaat - und ihr Slogan "Wir wollen die ganze Stadt!" damals auf begrenztes Verständnis stiessen, nahm sie viele Themen vorweg, die die Gesellschaft bis heute beschäftigen. "Wir wollen alles, und zwar subito!" ist ein Referenzbuch zur Aufarbeitung der Geschichte der 'Achtziger'. Porträts und Texte von einstigen Aktiv...
