English | May 27, 2025 | ISBN: 0198868626 | 256 pages | PDF | 3.65 Mb
Charity after Augustine explores why the Augustinian tradition’s attempts to build solidarity in the societies of the Latin West have ended in disaster just as often as they have brought about justice. Focusing on the concrete practices of love and charity ― almsgiving, works of mercy, good works ― Teubner demonstrates how religious leaders attempted simultaneously to bind and hold communities together while also, in fits and starts, to expand and include others in their communities.

Free Download In Defense of Reason After Hegel: Why We Are So Wise By Richard Dien Winfield
2022 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 183998242X | EPUB | 1 MB
In Defense of Reason After Hegel repudiates the assault on truth pervading public life and the academy by drawing upon arguments pioneered by Hegel. These arguments show how thought can free itself of arbitrary foundations and establish the exclusive validity of self-determination in knowing, conduct, and aesthetic worth. Wide ranging in scope and radically subverting the reigning orthodoxies in contemporary culture, the essays of In Defense of Reason After Hegel forge a path for restoring the authority of rational autonomy in theory and practice.

Free Download Christopher Hilton, "After the Berlin Wall: Putting Two Germanys Back Together Again"
English | ISBN: 0750950757 | 2009 | 224 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Documenting an incredible unification in the history of Europe, this account examines the merging of East and West Germany following the destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1990. Describing how a totalitarian, atheist, and communist system was married with a democratic, Christian, and capitalist one, this study explores relevant questions such as How did this marriage affect the everyday life of ordinary Germans? How did combining two telephone systems, postal services, hospitals, industry, and railways work? and How were women’s rights, welfare, arts, and housing affected? Spotlighting how this consolidation was never forewarned and how no country had ever tried joining two completely opposite systems before, this investigation presents a fascinating chronicle told through the words of the people who lived through it.

The Decline of Nation-States after the Arab Spring The Rise of Communitocracy


Free Download Imad Salamey, "The Decline of Nation-States after the Arab Spring: The Rise of Communitocracy"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 036700139X, 1472468112 | EPUB | pages: 134 | 0.5 mb
Surveying the causes of the Arab Spring, and revealing the governing trends arising from it, this book examines various international relation theories through the lens of the experiences of the countries in the Middle East and North Africa region. It takes the events of the Arab Spring as an outcome of globalization’s double movement whose integrative cultural, political and security frameworks devastated nationally controlled economies, undermining the nation-state system and propagating a decentralized and communitarian-based governance structure. The consequences for many plural, diverse societies were two-fold: autocratic nationalism was discarded while decentralized regimes representing communitarian-based politics came to the fore. The author reveals how the formulation of a new communitocratic order rests on the accommodation of this newly emerging communitarianism and explores the major drivers of political transformation, describing the emerging communities, forecasting their governing options and the possible repercussions for the post-Arab Spring states.

Decolonisation after Democracy Rethinking the Research and Teaching of Political Science in South Africa


Free Download Laurence Piper, "Decolonisation after Democracy: Rethinking the Research and Teaching of Political Science in South Africa"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1138350869 | EPUB | pages: 156 | 0.7 mb
Decolonisation after Democracy addresses the provocative idea that we need to rid higher education of lingering forms of colonial knowledge. This matters because in the colonial era much knowledge was put to the service of subjugating indigenous peoples, and the assumptions from this era may linger into the present. Examples of deep-rooted and ‘foundational’ forms of knowledge that carry colonial traits are normative binaries such as ‘civilised and backward’, ‘modern and traditional’ and ‘rational and superstitious’. In addition, some accounts of positive values like freedom, equality, justice and democracy may hide the assumption that the western experience is the norm, from which other kinds are rendered imitations, deviations or pathologies.
