Bücher der Reihe Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy

This collection offers a synoptic view of the philosophical discussion over the relationship between facts and values, bringing together contributors committed to exposing the weaknesses of the fact-value dichotomy and exploring alternatives and their implications.

This volume represents a new contribution to the study of the connection between disagreement and skepticism in epistemology, metaethics, ancient philosophy, and metaphilosophy.

This collection brings together the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and the rich tradition of Pragmatist thought, providing a model for pluralist, boundary-crossing scholarship. Contributors explore Deleuze¿s explicit and implicit relationship to American Pragmatism and investigate Deleuze¿s thought at those points which are of most conceptual interest to philosophers currently working in the tradition of Pragmatism. By bringing together Deleuze¿s philosophy and Pragmatist thought while remaining conscious of the differences between them, the collection aims to produce through a variety of conceptual frameworks capable of contributing to contemporary philosophical debate more broadly.

This volume is devoted to exploring the intersection between virtue epistemology and education. With its focus on intellectual virtues and their role in the acquisition and transmission of knowledge and related epistemic goods, virtue epistemology provides a rich set of tools for educational theory and practice.

The clash of ideas often yields insults and increased divisiveness, but civility is more than mere polite behavior: it aids rational discourse in politics and education. This volume examines the contribution of civility to education, citizenship, and public discourse from Eastern and Western as well as classic and modern perspectives.

This collection offers a synoptic view of the philosophical discussion over the relationship between facts and values, bringing together contributors committed to exposing the weaknesses of the fact-value dichotomy and exploring alternatives and their implications.

This forward-thinking collection presents new work that looks beyond the division between the analytic and continental philosophical traditions-one that has long caused dissension, mutual distrust, and institutional barriers to the development of common concerns and problems.

This volume brings together essays that examine and defend the use of experiential learning activities to teach philosophical terms, concepts, arguments, and practices, and argue that teaching philosophy is about doing philosophy with others.

This volume discusses the philosophical, social, and political notions of biopolitics, as well as the ways in which biopower affects our lives, including the relationships between the human and nonhuman, the concept of political subjectivity, and the connection between art, science, philosophy, and politics. In addition to tracing the evolving philosophical discourse around biopolitics, this collection researches and explores certain modes of resistance against biopolitical control.

Domination consists in subjection to the will of others and manifests itself both as a personal relation and a structural phenomenon serving as the context for relations of power. Domination has again become a central political concern through the revival of the republican tradition of political thought (not to be confused with the US political party). However, normative debates about domination have mostly remained limited to the context of domestic politics. Also, the republican debate has not taken into account alternative ways of conceptualizing domination. Critical theorists, liberals, feminists, critical race theorists, and postcolonial writers have discussed domination in different ways, focusing on such problems as imperialism, racism, and the subjection of indigenous peoples. This volume extends debates about domination to the global level and considers how other streams in political theory and nearby disciplines enrich, expand upon, and critique the republican tradition''s contributions to the debate. This volume brings together, for the first time, mostly original pieces on domination and global political justice by some of this generation''s most prominent scholars, including Philip Pettit, James Bohman, Rainer Forst, Amy Allen, John McCormick, Thomas McCarthy, Charles Mills, Duncan Ivison, John Maynor, Terry Macdonald, Stefan Gosepath, and Hauke Brunkhorst.

Although scholarship in philosophy of action has grown in recent years, there has been little work explicitly dealing with the role of time in agency, a role with great significance for the study of action. As the articles in this collection demonstrate, virtually every fundamental issue in the philosophy of action involves considerations of time. The four sections of this volume address the metaphysics of action, diachronic practical rationality, the relation between deliberation and action, and the phenomenology of agency, providing an overview of the central developments in each area with an emphasis on the role of temporality. Including contributions by established, rising, and new voices in the field,　Time and the Philosophy of Action　brings analytic work in philosophy of action together with contributions from continental philosophy and cognitive science to elaborate the central thesis that agency not only develops in time but is shaped by it at every level.

The issues explored in this book concern the act and object of judgment. What kind of act is judgment? How is it related to a range of other mental acts, states, and dispositions? How many objects are there of a given judgment? These and related questions are approached from a variety of historical and contemporary perspectives.

This collection brings together contributions from a diverse group of philosophers who explore a broad but thematically unified set of questions on the role of naturalism in the philosophy of the social sciences.

This volume offers responses to philosophical naturalism from the perspectives of four different yet fundamentally interconnected philosophical traditions: Kantian idealism, Hegelian idealism, British idealism, and American pragmatism.

The aim of this collection is to further our understanding of what a good moral and political education within a democratic context consists in by combining perspectives from moral psychology, political philosophy and philosophy of education.

This book provides a rigorous analysis of Owen Flanagan¿s comparative philosophy. The contributors discuss his philosophy of human flourishing and naturalized approach to Asian Philosophy. The essays critically analyse Flanagan¿s naturalized eudaimonics, naturalized Buddhism, and theory of Confucian human flourishing and moral modularity.

This book brings together original essays that showcase how several current debates in epistemology, philosophy of psychology, and philosophy of mind can benefit from more reflection on these and related questions about the significance of consciousness for inference.

The aim of this volume is to open up new perspectives and to raise new research questions about a unified approach to truth, modalities, and propositional attitudes. It will be of interest to researchers working in epistemology, logic, philosophy of logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, and semantics.

This book encourages critical reflection on the relationship between power and non-power in the contemporary political world from a variety of intercultural philosophical traditions.

With increasingly divergent views and commitments, and an all-or-nothing mindset in political life, it can seem hard to sustain the level of trust in other members of our society necessary to ensure our most basic institutions work. This book features interdisciplinary perspectives on social trust.

This book explores how imagination can be put to epistemic use. More specifically, the contributors address ways in which our imaginings must be constrained so as to justify beliefs and give rise to knowledge.

The essays in this collection explore the idea that discursive norms-the norms governing our thought and talk-are profoundly social. Not only do these norms govern and structure of social interactions, but they are sustained by a variety of social and institutional structures.

This book explores important questions at the intersection of the debates about relational autonomy and equality. They develop possible conceptual links by considering the role of values¿such as agency, non-domination, and self-respect¿to which both relational autonomy theorists and relational egalitarians are committed.
