As sentient beings, capable of flourishing and suffering, and particularly vulnerable to how others treat us, our view of the world is substantially evaluative. Yet modernist ways of thinking encourage the common but extraordinary belief that values are beyond reason, and merely subjective or matters of convention, with little or nothing to do with the kind of beings people are, the quality of their social relations, their material circumstances or well-being. The author shows how social theory and philosophy need to change to reflect the complexity of everyday ethical concerns and the importance people attach to dignity. He argues for a robustly critical social science that explains and evaluates social life from the standpoint of human flourishing.Social valuesSocial normsValuesNormativity (Ethics)Social sciencesMoral and ethical aspectsSocial values.Social norms.Values.Normativity (Ethics)Social sciencesMoral and ethical aspects.303.3/7201Sayer R.

To describe these events as simply the result of American expansion versus indigenous nativism disregards the complexities of the people and their motivations. Patrick Bottiger explores the diversity between and among the communities that were the source of this violence. As new settlers invaded their land, the Shawnee brothers Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh pushed for a unified Indigenous front. However, the multiethnic Miamis, Kickapoos, Potawatomis, and Delawares, who also lived in the region, favored local interests over a single tribal entity. The Miami-French trade and political network was extensive, and the Miamis staunchly defended their hegemony in the region from challenges by other Native groups. Additionally, William Henry Harrison, governor of the Indiana Territory, lobbied for the introduction of slavery in the territory. In its own turn, this move sparked heated arguments in newspapers and on the street. Harrisonians deflected criticism by blaming tensions on indigenous groups and then claiming that antislavery settlers were Indian allies. Bottiger demonstrates that violence, rather than being imposed on the region's inhabitants by outside forces, instead stemmed from the factionalism that was already present. The Borderland of fear explores how these conflicts were not between nations and races but rather between cultures and factions."--Dust jacket.Borderlands and transcultural studies.Shawnee IndiansHistoryOhio River ValleyRace relationsHistory19th centuryOhio River ValleyfastShawnee IndiansHistory.974.00497317Bottiger Patrick1639849MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829189903321The Borderland of fear3983104UNINA
