Nemesis Divina (International Archives of the History of Ideas Archives internationales d'histoire des idées #177)
by Carl von LinnéLinnaeus' mature theodicy, his attempt to reconcile the suffering and evil of the world with the omnipotence and goodness of God, is presented in a condensed form in the final editions of his Systema Naturae (1758/68). In this comprehensive compendium of our knowledge of the three great realms of organic nature, he outlines the significance of the sub-conscious, social awareness and theological orientation in the spiritual life of man, and indicates how fate, fortune, and Providence interrelate within his conception of the Deity. In the Nemesis Divina this general undertaking is developed into an `experimental theology', which is exactly analogous to Linnaeus' work in the natural sciences, in that it involves the collecting and classifying of concrete and carefully described case-studies. He never prepared the manuscript for publication, however, and for many years it was regarded as lost, and it is only very recently that any attempt has been made to publish it in its entirety. This is the first English translation of all the relevant manuscript material. It is also the first attempt to analyse the case-studies in the light of what we know of Linnaeus' general taxonomic principles, and to relate each of them to its historical context.
Neo-Abolitionism: Abolishing Human Rentals in Favor of Workplace Democracy
by David EllermanThis book argues for the abolition of the employment system in favor of workplace democracy and thus escapes the usual capitalism-versus-socialism binary choice by reframing the basic issue as the employment contract, not private property or a market economy. The author repositions the political and economic debate in the lineage of abolitionism - against the owning of other people - which in its modern version of neo-abolitionism would also abolish the renting, or hiring, employing, or leasing of other people.The overall argument is based on three recovered theories, each one of which is sufficient to yield the neo-abolitionist conclusion. These three rights-based theories are developed throughout the book. The three theories are 1) inalienable rights theory, 2) the natural rights or labor theory of property, and 3) democratic theory as based on a democratic constitution that only delegates governance rights versus a non-democratic constitution that alienates governance rights. The book, therefore, is a must-read for everybody interested in a better understanding of the political economy, workplace democracy, rights-based theories, and the employment system.
Neo-Noir: Contemporary Noir Film From Chinatown To The Dark Knight
by Douglas KeeseyA world- weary detective, a seductive femme fatale, a mysterious murder- these elements of classic film noir live again in more recent hardboiled detective films from Chinatown to Sin City. But the themes and styles of noir have also spilled over into contemporary films about gangsters, cops and serial killers (Reservoir Dogs, The Departed, Se7en). New hybrid genres have been created, including psycho-noirs (Memento), techno-noirs (The Matrix) and superhero noirs (The Dark Knight). Beginning with an introduction that shows how neo-noir has drawn upon contemporary social and historical events as well as the latest technological advances in filmmaking, this book discusses the neo-noir films that have made the biggest splash in the field ('landmarks'), the directors who have become cult figures of neo-noir, ('auteurs'), films from non-English speaking countries ('international') and neo-noirs that put a new spin on past noirs ('remakes'). The main credits and a plot summary are given for each neo-noir, followed by an in-depth analysis containing original insights into the meaning of the film. 'Factoids' also present fascinating facts, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and lively quotes from the cast and crew.
Neoliberalization, Universities and the Public Intellectual: Species, Gender and Class and the Production of Knowledge (Palgrave Critical University Studies)
by Heather Fraser Nik TaylorThis book employs an an intersectional feminist approach to highlight how research and teaching agendas are being skewed by commercialized, corporatized and commodified values and assumptions implicit in the neoliberalization of the academy. The authors combine 50 years of academic experience and focus on species, gender and class as they document the hazardous consequences of seeing people as instruments and knowledge as a form of capital. Personal-political examples are provided to illustrate some of the challenges but also opportunities facing activist scholars trying to resist neoliberalism. Heartfelt, frank, and unashamedly emotional, the book is a rallying cry for academics to defend their role as public intellectuals, to work together with communities, including those most negatively affected by neoliberalism and the corportatization of knowledge.
Netherlands Reports to the XIth International Congress of Comparative Law Caracas 1982
by H. D'OliveiraLast year I addressed the Netherlands Comparative Law Asso ciation with the following question: 'Does Comparative Law Exist At All?' (My intention then was to flog the dead (?) horse of the merger of comparative law and the sociology of law. ) In presenting this voluminous collection of Netherlands national reports to the eleventh congress of the Internatio nal Academy of Comparative Law I feel my misgivings giving way to the suspicion, that comparative law indeed exists. Of course national reports do not, as such, prove the exist ence of comparative law. It is the general reports together with the national reports, which embody the comparative effort. That is why the Netherlands Comparative Law Associa tion took the initiative to propose the publishing of the materials on a subject to subject basis instead of publish ing collections of national reports. From a comparative legal point of view, it is the topic that should form the basis of the publication, and not the origin of the materials. The general reporter for each topic should be prepared to take up the responsabilities of editing the volume, and would have to be given the right to select those national reports which he considers to be useful both in regard to their quality and the relevance of the material to the basic problems in the questionnaire. This proposal met with very favourable comments from the na tional committees and general reporters of some fifteen coun tries.

Neue Technologien – neue Kindheiten?: Ethische und bildungsphilosophische Perspektiven (Techno:Phil – Aktuelle Herausforderungen der Technikphilosophie #3)
by Marc Fabian Buck Johannes Drerup Gottfried SchweigerZu den wichtigen sozialen Einflussgrößen, die nicht nur die Konstruktion, sondern auch die Realität und Praxis institutionalisierter Kindheit(en) mitbestimmen, gehören, so der Ausgangspunkt und der Gegenstand dieses Bandes, technologische Entwicklungen und die Anwendung und Nutzung von Techniken in der Kindheit für und durch Kinder. Technische Arrangements und Praktiken sind während der Kindheit omnipräsent. In diesem Band werden systematische ethische und erziehungs-, bildungs- und kindheitsphilosophische Fragen diskutiert, die sich im Umgang mit neuen Technologien und Techniken stellen. Hierzu zählen z.B. Fragen der folgenden Art: Wie sind (Neben-)Folgen der Einführung von AI-Systemen in Unterricht und Schule zu verstehen und zu bewerten? Dürfen Eltern die Fotos ihrer Kinder auf Facebook teilen? Welche Möglichkeiten und Fallstricke bietet die Nutzung von Robotern in pädagogischen Kontexten? Welche Rolle spielen neue Technologien bei der Gestaltung des Generationenverhältnisses und für technisch vermittelte und realisierte „Regime der Kindheit“?
Neues Leben aus dem Labor: Biowissenschaftliche und ethische Aspekte der Synthetischen Biologie
by Leona LitterstLeona Litterst vereint in systematischer Weise die Frage, ob mittels Techniken der Synthetischen Biologie „neues Leben“ hergestellt werden kann, mit der ethischen Dimension, ob dieses hergestellt werden soll und welche Regeln dabei gelten. Hierzu stellt sie fünf Forschungsansätze der Synthetischen Biologie detailliert dar, beleuchtet deren Anspruch, „neues Leben“ herzustellen, und bewertet Risikopotentiale in ethisch-anthroporelationaler Hinsicht. Sie untersucht zentrale ethische und systematische Aspekte zu Verantwortung, den Begriffen des Spiels, des Lebens, der Natürlichkeit und Künstlichkeit sowie dem moralischen Status von Forschungsobjekten der Synthetischen Biologie. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Möglichkeit einer Herstellung von „neuem Leben“ nicht nur eine Frage nach der technischen Umsetzung ist, sondern auch danach, wie wir mit „neuem Leben“ sowie den möglichen Chancen und Risiken der Synthetischen Biologie zukünftig umgehen wollen.
Neuroethics and the Scientific Revision of Common Sense (Studies in Brain and Mind #11)
by Nada GligorovThis book is focused on the examination of the particular relationship between developments in neuroscience and commonsense concepts, such as free will, personal identity, privacy, etc., which feature prominently in moral discourse. In the book common sense is recast as an ever-shifting repository of theories from many domains, including science. Utilizing this alternative characterization of common sense, the book reexamines the impact of neuroscience on commonsense moral conceptions.Neuroethics is one of the newest, developing branches of Bioethics. Topics often raised include issues of free will, personal identity and the self; the possible ethical implication of memory manipulation; brain imaging and mind-reading; brain stimulation/enhancement and its impacts on personal identity; and brain death.
Neurolaw: An Introduction
by Eugenio PicozzaThis volume illustrates to the public, and legal experts, the basic principles of the field of neuroscience, that commonly goes under the name of Neurolaw. First, it illustrates the relationship between neuroscience, natural sciences and social sciences. Furthermore, it highlights numerous problems concerning the fundamental philosophical concepts used by Neurolaw and evaluates the validity of the method and the limits of a neuroscientific approach to the problems of law and justice.The volume explores the possibility of application of these concepts on the fundamentals of the general theory of law and legal dogmatics. It also examines the main problems of Neurolaw in relation to public, private, criminal and procedural law. In conclusion, the book follows a systematic method that makes it an thorough manual for the introduction to Neurolaw.

Neuroscience and Law: Complicated Crossings and New Perspectives
by Antonio D’Aloia Maria Chiara ErrigoThere have been extraordinary developments in the field of neuroscience in recent years, sparking a number of discussions within the legal field. This book studies the various interactions between neuroscience and the world of law, and explores how neuroscientific findings could affect some fundamental legal categories and how the law should be implemented in such cases. The book is divided into three main parts. Starting with a general overview of the convergence of neuroscience and law, the first part outlines the importance of their continuous interaction, the challenges that neuroscience poses for the concepts of free will and responsibility, and the peculiar characteristics of a “new” cognitive liberty. In turn, the second part addresses the phenomenon of cognitive and moral enhancement, as well as the uses of neurotechnology and their impacts on health, self-determination and the concept of being human. The third and last part investigates the use of neuroscientific findings in both criminal and civil cases, and seeks to determine whether they can provide valuable evidence and facilitate the assessment of personal responsibility, helping to resolve cases. The book is the result of an interdisciplinary dialogue involving jurists, philosophers, neuroscientists, forensic medicine specialists, and scholars in the humanities; further, it is intended for a broad readership interested in understanding the impacts of scientific and technological developments on people’s lives and on our social systems.
