‘Progress’ in Zimbabwe The Past and Present of a Concept and a Country


Free Download Norma Kriger, Brian Raftopoulos, David Moore, "’Progress’ in Zimbabwe?: The Past and Present of a Concept and a Country"

Zimbabwe’s severe crisis – and a possible way out of it with a transitional government, and the new era for which it prepares the ground – demands a coherent scholarly response. ‘Progress’ can be employed as an organising theme across many disciplinary approaches to Zimbabwe’s societal devastation. At wider levels too, the concept of progress is fitting. It underpins ‘modern’, ‘liberal’ and ‘radical’ perspectives of development pervading the social sciences and humanities. Yet perceptions of ‘progress’ are subject increasingly to intensive critical inquiry. Their gruesome end is signified in the political projects of Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF. John Gray’s Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia indicates this.

The Concept of the Public Realm


Free Download Noel O’Sullivan, "The Concept of the Public Realm"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 041544831X, 0415851017 | EPUB | pages: 222 | 0.3 mb
In its political form, the existence of a public realm is the basis of a shared relationship between rulers and ruled which makes politics more than mere power or domination. How to construct and maintain a public realm in the political sphere is, however, a matter of especial dispute at the present day, due partly to the increasing difficulty of making the distinction between public and private spheres which has been the basis of Western liberal democracy; partly to the tendency of public concerns to be identified with economic interests, which transforms citizens into consumers; partly to pressure for the acknowledgement of diversity of every kind, which creates the danger of fragmenting the public realm; and partly to globalization processes which have undermined the traditional identification of the public realm with national political institutions. Globalization has, in addition, raised the question of whether there can be a supra-national public realm and, more generally, of what form it is likely to assume in non-Western cultures. These are amongst the fundamental contemporary issues addressed by contributors to the present volume.

Heidegger’s Concept of Science


Free Download Paul Goldberg, "Heidegger’s Concept of Science "
English | ISBN: 1009523538 | 2024 | 84 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This Element argues that Heidegger’s concept of science has two core features. Heidegger critiques a security-oriented concept of science, which he associates with the dominance of physics in modern science and metaphysics and with a progressive resistance among philosophers and scientists to ontological questioning. Meanwhile, Heidegger advances an access-oriented concept of science, on which science is essentially founded on ontological disclosures but also constantly open to the possibility of new revolutionary disclosures. This Element discusses how these commitments develop in Heidegger’s early and later thinking, and argues that they inform his views on the history of Western metaphysics and on the possibilities for human flourishing that modernity, and modern science specifically, affords. The Element also discusses Heidegger’s dialogue with Werner Heisenberg about quantum physics; and throughout, it highlights points of contact and divergence between Heidegger and other philosophers of science such as Karl Popper, Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend, and Helen Longino.
