Mit welchen Argumentationsstrategien begründen und legitimieren Philosophen im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts ihre eigene Disziplin? Die Daseinsberechtigung und Aufgaben der Philosophie werden am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts durch die zunehmende Geltung anderer Disziplinen stark infrage gestellt. Philosophen reagieren auf diese Infragestellung strategisch: Sie delegitimieren diese Kritik mit gezielten Argumenten, um dadurch ihre eigene philosophische Position begründen und die Deutungsmacht ihrer Disziplin rehabilitieren zu können. Indem die Selbstpositionierungen der drei prominenten philosophischen Paradigmen Phänomenologie, Wiener Kreis und Kritische Theorie explizit gemacht werden, gewährt dieses Buch Einsichten in das Selbstverständnis der westlichen Philosophie. Die kritische Analyse zeigt, wie sich die Philosophie als Disziplin mit ihrem Anspruch auf Wahrheit bis heute behauptet.

"Addressing Spinoza's perennial question: "why do the masses fight for their servitude as if it was salvation?" Capitalism and the Limits of Desire examines the ways in which self-love has become intertwined with a love of capitalism. With ongoing austerity and misery for so many, why does capitalism seem to be so insurmountable, so impossible to move beyond? John Roberts offers a scandalous and intriguing response: It is because we love capitalism more than we love ourselves. Capitalism in the form of commodities, and, more importantly, the online platforms through which we express ourselves, has become so much of who we are, of how we love ourselves that it is difficult to imagine ourselves outside of it. Roberts contends that disentangling ourselves from this collapsing of self into capitalism is possible and that understanding the insidious nature of capitalist thinking even when it comes to our deepest desires is the starting point. Using Marx, Lacan and Spinoza as his guides, Roberts lays out a way for individuals to move forward and forge a sense of self outside the oppressive demands of platform capitalism"--

"Government lockdowns, school closures, mass unemployment, health and wealth inequality. Political Philosophy in a Pandemic asks us, where do we go from here? What are the ethics of our response to a radically changed, even more unequal society, and how do we seize the moment for enduring change? Addressing the moral and political implications of pandemic response from states and societies worldwide, the 20 essays collected here cover the most pressing debates relating to the biggest public health crisis in the last century. Discussing the pandemic in five key parts covering social welfare, economic justice, democratic relations, speech and misinformation, and the relationship between justice and crisis, this book reflects the fruitful combination of political theory and philosophy in laying the theoretical and practical foundations for justice in the long-term"--

"Patriarchalism is omnipresent in Western culture and it pervades the texts that have shaped this culture. From the creation story in the Bible to the ancient authors, from the Church fathers to the treatises of Enlightenment philosophers, right up to modern fiction, male authority over women, children and other dependents has shaped the nature of human relationships and the discourses about these relationships. This collection of short essays offers fresh and novel readings of key texts in the history of patriarchalism as a concept of power. The texts selected are from political, religious and literary works and together the readings add new insights to a tradition that has never gone uncontested, yet is unlikely to disappear soon."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
