Conservative Reductionism

by Michael Esfeld, Christian Sachse ...

Series series Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science
Conservative Reductionism sets out a new theory of the relationship between physics and the special sciences within the framework of functionalism. It argues that it is wrong-headed to conceive an opposition between functional and physical properties (or functional and physical descriptions, respectively) and to build an anti-reductionist argument on multiple realization. By contrast, (a) all ... Read more

Science and Human Freedom

by Michael Esfeld ...

Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
This book argues for two claims: firstly, determinism in science does not infringe upon human free will because it is descriptive, not prescriptive, and secondly, the very formulation, testing and justification of scientific theories presupposes human free will and thereby persons as ontologically primitive. The argument against predetermination is broadly Humean, or more precisely ‘Super-Humean’, ... Read more

A Minimalist Ontology of the Natural World

by Michael Esfeld, Dirk-Andre Deckert ...

Series series Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Mathematics and Physics
This book seeks to work out which commitments are minimally sufficient to obtain an ontology of the natural world that matches all of today’s well-established physical theories. We propose an ontology of the natural world that is defined only by two axioms: (1) There are distance relations that individuate simple objects, namely matter points. (2) The matter points are permanent, with the ... Read more

Restoring Science and the Rule of Law

by Michael Esfeld, Cristian Lopez ...

Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
Science and the rule of law are the two pillars of modernity. Even though both result from the attempt to employ reason to limit the exercise of power in the scientific and the political sphere, they bear in themselves the germs of their own destruction: scientism and welfare totalitarianism. This book examines a trend towards a new, specifically postmodern totalitarianism, namely a regime of ... Read more

The Consequences of Modernity

by Anthony Giddens ...

In this major theoretical statement, the author offers a new and provocative interpretation of the institutional transformations associated with modernity. We do not as yet, he argues, live in a post-modern world. Rather the distinctive characteristics of our major social institutions in the closing period of the twentieth century express the emergence of a period of 'high modernity,' in which ... Read more

The Metamorphosis of the World

How Climate Change is Transforming Our Concept of the World

by Ulrich Beck ...

We live in a world that is increasingly difficult to understand. It is not just changing: it is metamorphosing. Change implies that some things change but other things remain the same capitalism changes, but some aspects of capitalism remain as they always were. Metamorphosis implies a much more radical transformation in which the old certainties of modern society are falling away and something ... Read more

Cosmopolitanism and the Geographies of Freedom

by David Harvey ...

Series series The Wellek Library Lectures
Liberty and freedom are frequently invoked to justify political action. Presidents as diverse as Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush have built their policies on some version of these noble values. Yet in practice, idealist agendas often turn sour as they confront specific circumstances on the ground. Demonstrated by incidents at Abu Ghraib ... Read more
