Transformations in Central Europe between 1989 and 2012
Transformations in Central Europe between 1989 and 2012: Geopolitical, Cultural, and Socioeconomic Shifts by Tomas Kavaliauskas, is an in-depth study of the transformations in Central Europe in the years since the fall of Communism. Using a comparative analysis of geopolitical, ethical, cultural, and socioeconomic shifts, this essential text investigates postcommunist countries including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Slovenia. Next to transitological interpretations, this study ventures upon negative and positive freedom (Isaiah Berlin) in Central Europe after two decades of post-communist transition. Kavaliauskas questions ...
The Disaster of European Refugee Policy
This volume addresses the mass arrival of migrants and refugees in Europe in 2015 and 2016, and the crisis of response that unfolded across the continent. The chapters critically discuss this crisis and help the reader to understand why the refugees and migrants fled, what kind of response they faced and what was wrong with the reactions of the states. Despite the fact that all the authors are based in Slovenia, the volume transcends this particular state and covers theoretical and practical aspects of the crisis which are not geographically limited to only one country or region. It addresses a variety of audiences, such as students, researchers, sociologists, political scientists, lawyers, geographers and philosophers, and will appeal to those who seek to understand forced migration and refugee protection, states’ responses to migration and asylum seekers, and the rise of hate speech, racism, xenophobia and authoritarianism in Europe.
Thought Experiments between Nature and Society
As a prominent figure in analytic philosophy of the 20th and 21st centuries, Nenad Miščević has enriched, enhanced, and expanded many areas of the field. This volume, dedicated to him for his 65th birthday, follows the virtues he so much respects – conceptual analysis, rigorous use of logics, and clear definitions – and applies them to a very hot topic in philosophy, thought experiments. Present throughout the history of philosophy, thought experiments have become indispensable for the discipline and for analytic philosophy in particular. But questions can be asked, as to what exactly is a thought experiment, what it consists of, and, most importantly, if it is even useful for philoso...
Lying Beyond Scruples
Lies and manipulations have long been part of social life, but the rise of Trump and Trumpism has made these practices excessively blatant and obscene, challenging our ability to respond effectively. This book explores this shift through sociological, anthropological, philosophical, and communicological perspectives, analysing the emergence of a new form of lying and manipulation—anti-/non-/post-truthful, anti-/non-/post-ethical, and anti-/non-/post-reflexive. Using the Slovenian case of Trump-inspired practices, Kotnik presents an analytical model of resistance as a means of self-empowerment against these disruptive and harmful tactics. She examines how open liars and transparent manipulators have become socially tolerable in our increasingly "mentirocratic" societies and argues that it is crucial to resist these practices both in principle and in action. Kotnik's work offers a stimulating investigation into why the open lie and transparent manipulation have become socially acceptable and why they must be actively opposed.
