Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In everyday life, we generally assume that we can make our own decisions on matters which concern our own lives. We assume that a life followed only according to decisions taken by other people, against our will, cannot be a well-lived life we assume, in other words, that we are and should b…e autonomous. However, it is equally true that many aspects of our lives are not chosen freely: this is true of social relations and commitments but also of all those situations we simply seem to stumble into, situations which just seem to happen to us. The possibility of both the success of an autonomous life and its failure are part of our everyday experiences. In this brilliant and illuminating book, Beate Roessler examines the tension between failing and succeeding to live an autonomous life and the obstacles we have to face when we try to live our life autonomously, obstacles within ourselves as well as those that stem from social and political conditions. She highlights the ambiguities we encounter, examines the roles of self-awareness and self-deception, explores the role of autonomy for the meaning of life, and maps out the social and political conditions necessary for autonomy. Informed by philosophical perspectives but also drawing on literary texts, such as those of Siri Hustvedt and Jane Austen, and diaries, including those of Franz Kafka and Sylvia Plath, Roessler develops a formidable defense of autonomy against excessive expectations and, above all, against overpowering skepticism. "Originally published in German as Autonomie. Ein Versuch aeuber das gelungene Leben Suhrkamp Verlag Berlin 2017." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. This ambitious, interdisciplinary collection responds to present intellectual debates concerning the value and limits of privacy. Ever since the beginning of modernity, the line of demarcation between private and public spaces, and the distinction between them, have continually been challenged and redr…awn. Such developments as new technologies that introduce previously unforeseen possibilities for infringement upon privacy and the modern spectacles of television talk shows and "reality-TV" give added urgency to the discussion on privacy. This collection examines the fundamental issues structuring that debate. Bringing together for the first time leading contributors to the recent debates on privacy from both Europe and the United States, this collection affirms that privacy, in all its dimensions, remains a central value of liberal democracies. Its essays expose the complex ways in which privacy is essentially and intimately intertwined with our ideas of freedom, identity, and "the good life.".

Paperback. Condition: New. This new book by Beate Rössler is a work of real quality and originality on an extremely topical issue: the issue of privacy and the relations between the private and the public. Rössler investigates the reasons why we value privacy and why we ought to value it. In the context of modern, liberal societ…ies, Rössler develops a theory of the private which links privacy and autonomy in a constitutive way: privacy is a necessary condition to lead an autonomous life. The book develops a theory of freedom and autonomy which sees the ability to pose the "practical question" of how one wants to live, of what a person strives to be, at the centre of the modern idea of autonomy. The question of privacy is emerging as an increasingly important topic in social and political theory and is central to many current debates in law, the media and politics. The Value of Privacy will be widely recognised to be a classic contribution to the subject.

Condition: Good. First Edition. Nu de eerste piek van de coronacrisis achter de rug is, kijken we aan tegen een ravage. Alles lijkt ontwricht. Levens gingen verloren, ons doen en laten werd ingeperkt en de economie raakte in een paar weken in een vrije val. Veel Nederlanders kampen met grote onzekerheid en zorgen over hun werk,…hun sociale leven, hun toekomst. Een eenvoudige weg terug naar hoe het was lijkt afgesneden. Anders is niet per se slechter. In dit boek maakt een aantal vooraanstaande denkers, deskundigen en bestuurders een voorlopige balans op. Vanuit hun eigen kennis en ervaring kijken zij terug en vooruit. Hoe heeft de crisis ons zo kunnen overvallen? Wat zijn de oorzaken? Wat leren we ervan? En vooral: hoe gaan we straks door? Na de quarantaine is een even noodzakelijke als urgente uitnodiging om verder te kijken. Om met elkaar na te denken over de lessen van de pandemie en over de wereld waarin wij willen gaan leven. 'Als je, zoals ik, elke dag bezig bent met crisisbestrijding is het van grote waarde om de snelkookpan even van het vuur te halen. Om tunnelvisie te voorkomen, andere perspectieven te overdenken en doorkijkjes naar de toekomst te hebben. Deze waardevolle bundel verruimt de horizon en helpt om ons voor te bereiden op het vervolg en op een eventuele nieuwe crisis.' - Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg, Nationaal Co?rdinator Terrorismebestrijding en Veiligheid.
