Brian Ellis starts with a re-appraisal of the founding of the United Nations and the political and economic policies of the post-war reconstruction period. He then shows how this period, despite its many faults, embodied a philosophy more closely embedded in scientific realism than dominant theories of either left or right today. He goes on to develop this philosophy, meticulously, demolishing theories of Rawls, Nozick and others along the way. The result is a philosophy that investigates how a society actually works, supports evidence-based economics and can better enable human beings to flourish. It is a philosophy that can also accommodate the historical differences between societies and their different, but parallel, development strategies over time. Brian Ellis is a leading expert in the history and philosophy of science with wide-ranging expertise in political, ethical and economic philosophy, the philosophy of mind and action, logic and probability theory. He is Professor Emeritus in Philosophy, at La Trobe University, and former Professorial fellow, University of Melbourne. 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aEthics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aEconomics 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aEconomics. 676 $a901 676 $a901 700 $aEllis$b Brian$046558 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910731476503321 996 $aOn Civilizing Capitalism$93394856 997 $aUNINA
