The Great Recoinage Revisited -- References -- IndexExamining the social and political upheavals that characterized the collapse of public judgment in early modern Europe, Liberating Judgment offers a unique account of the achievement of liberal democracy and self-government. The book argues that the work of John Locke instills a civic judgment that avoids the excesses of corrosive skepticism and dogmatic fanaticism, which lead to either political acquiescence or irresolvable conflict. Locke changes the way political power is assessed by replacing deteriorating vocabularies of legitimacy with a new language of justification informed by a conception of probability. For Locke, the coherence and viability of liberal self-government rests not on unassailable principles or institutions, but on the capacity of citizens to embrace probable judgment. The book explores the breakdown of the medieval understanding of knowledge and opinion, and considers how Montaigne's skepticism and Descartes' rationalism--interconnected responses to the crisis--involved a pragmatic submission to absolute rule. Locke endorses this response early on, but moves away from it when he encounters a notion of reasonableness based on probable judgment. In his mature writings, Locke instructs his readers to govern their faculties and intellectual yearnings in accordance with this new standard as well as a vocabulary of justification that might cultivate a self-government of free and equal individuals. The success of Locke's arguments depends upon citizens' willingness to take up the labor of judgment in situations where absolute certainty cannot be achieved.Political sciencePhilosophyHistory17th centuryJudgment (Logic)Electronic books.Counter-Reformation.England.Filmerian certainty.First Treatise.God.Great Recoinage.John Locke.Michel Montaigne.Parliament.Pierre Charron.Reformation.Ren Descartes.Robert Boyle.Robert Filmer.Scripture.Second Treatise.Thomas Hobbes.Treasury.William of Ockham.absolutism.abstract speculation.apodictic science.authority.certainty.civic education.civic judgment.contemporary liberal theory.demonstration.disagreement.divine certainty.epistemology.freedom.human faculties.intrinsick value.judgment.justification.liberal democracy.liberty.monetary standard.natural signs.new probability.opinio.philosophical investigations.political order.political power.political vocabulary.polity.practical rationality.probability.probable judgment.probable judgments.public judgment.public justification.reasonableness.scientia.self-expression.self-governance.self-government.self-transcendence.state of nature.theory of government.wise men.Political sciencePhilosophyHistoryJudgment (Logic)320.01Casson Douglas1029613MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458212303321Liberating judgment2446137UNINA04269nam 22006972 450 991079007720332120151005020622.01-139-06345-61-107-21365-71-283-11101-297866131110121-139-07578-00-511-92131-41-139-07804-61-139-07003-71-139-08033-41-139-08261-2(CKB)2670000000088899(EBL)691916(OCoLC)726734790(SSID)ssj0000520883(PQKBManifestationID)11312582(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000520883(PQKBWorkID)10516857(PQKB)10460326(UkCbUP)CR9780511921315(MiAaPQ)EBC691916(Au-PeEL)EBL691916(CaPaEBR)ebr10470829(CaONFJC)MIL311101(EXLCZ)99267000000008889920100927d2011|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAnalytical sociology and social mechanisms /edited by Pierre Demeulenaere[electronic resource]Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2011.1 online resource (ix, 320 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-15435-9 0-521-19047-9 Introduction /Pierre Demeulenaere --Part I.Action and Mechanisms:1.Ordinary rationality: the core of analytical sociology /Raymond Boudon;2.Indeterminacy of emotional mechanisms /Jon Elster;3.A naturalistic ontology for mechanistic explanations in the social sciences /Dan Sperber;4.Conversation as mechanism: emergence in creative groups /R.

For example, we can see that inequality has tended to increase over time, and that cities can become segregated. But how do such mechanisms work? Analytical sociology is an influential approach to sociology which holds that explanations of social phenomena should focus on the social mechanisms that bring them about. This book evaluates the major features of this approach, focusing on the significance of the notion of mechanism. Leading scholars seek to answer a number of questions in order to explore all the relevant dimensions of mechanism-based explanations in social sciences. How do social mechanisms link together individual actions and social environments? What is the role of multi-agent modelling in the conceptualization of mechanisms? Does the notion of mechanism solve the problem of relevance in social sciences explanations?Analytical Sociology & Social MechanismsSociologySociologyMethodologySocial systemsSociology.SociologyMethodology.Social systems.301.01SOC026000bisacshDemeulenaere PierreUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910790077203321Analytical sociology and social mechanisms3715868UNINA02946nam 2200565 450 991079102970332120170821194446.01-84545-858-310.1515/9781845458584(CKB)2550000001317369(EBL)1331239(SSID)ssj0001224981(PQKBManifestationID)12441172(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001224981(PQKBWorkID)11264996(PQKB)10316155(MiAaPQ)EBC1331239(DE-B1597)636269(DE-B1597)9781845458584(EXLCZ)99255000000131736920080505h20082010 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrNazi Paris the history of an occupation, 1940-1944 /Allan MitchellNew York :Berghahn Books,2008.©20101 online resource (264 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-84545-786-2 1-84545-451-0 Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-218) and indexes.Title Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Introduction; Chapter 1: Law and Order; Chapter 2: Rules and Regulations; Chapter 3: Economy and Armament; Chapter 4: Culture and Propaganda; Chapter 5: Germans and Jews; Part II: Cracking Down; Chapter 6: The Hostage Crisis; Chapter 7: A Dangerous Place; Chapter 8: Strict Controls and Stringent Quotas; Chapter 9: A Lost Battle; Chapter 10: Eichmann in Paris; Part III: Holding On; Chapter 11: A Turn of Fortune; Chapter 12: A Police State; Chapter 13: A Deep Contradiction; Chapter 14: A Waning Hope; Chapter 15: A Wretched Conclusion; Part IV: Pulling OutChapter 16: The Twilight WeeksEpilogue; Abbreviations; Notes; Bibliography; Indexes Basing his extensive research into hitherto unexploited archival documentation on both sides of the Rhine, Allan Mitchell has uncovered the inner workings of the German military regime from the Wehrmacht's triumphal entry into Paris in June 1940 to its ignominious withdrawal in August 1944.
