Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Human civilization is founded on ethical principles, norms of behaviour that have accumulated over time. Perhaps the oldest of ethical principles is the rejection of violence, which includes the respect for life and for the physical and psychological integrity of others. But, in some circums…tances, violence itself can be regarded as ethical for example, when it is used by states claiming to act in self-defence. In these circumstances, the need to defend oneself against an enemy can transform war from an unacceptable act into a necessary, socially shared and morally sanctioned choice. And it is when violence becomes ethical that we must begin to fear for our future. In the wake of the pandemic, we are witnessing the growing prevalence of aggression and emotionality in social and political life. We find ourselves living in an increasingly impatient and insecure society, which is sceptical of scientific thought and which takes refuge in the irrational. The decline of rationality and the growing prevalence of violence are increasingly common features of a society that has lost touch with the great Enlightenment narrative. We need, argues Bordoni, to rediscover the rationality we have lost and recuperate the positive side of technology. Originally published as "Furor: quando la violenza sconfigge la ragione" by LUISS University Press, 2023. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Our societies are in transition, spurred on by a pandemic that disrupted many aspects of the social world we once took for granted. Weve left behind the solid modernity of the twentieth century and even the liquid modernity so brilliantly analysed by Zygmunt Bauman, but what kind of society…is now taking shape around us? In this highly original reflection on the current state of our world, Carlo Bordoni argues that we are on the threshold of post-society, a condition in which social distancing becomes the norm, real social relations are diminishing in favour of those mediated by technology, existential loneliness is becoming widespread, and we find ourselves voluntarily submitting to new forms of surveillance and control in the hope of increasing our security. Emotions are increasingly assuming a central role in social life, not only because of the growing prevalence of social media, which provide platforms for the public expression of emotion, but also because emotions have been freed from the repression of emotionality that had characterized modern society. While many of these developments are rooted in broader social transformations, they were all deepened and accelerated by the pandemic, which propelled us headlong into a brave new world where social relations are sustained without physical contact but with intense communication. This is the new post-social condition: more humanity, less sociality. First published in Italian by Luiss University Press, 2021. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Human history is a history of individuals of kings and queens, of leaders and thinkers, and of the many individuals who struggle, work hard and find their paths in life. It is also the history of individuation, understood as a continuous search for autonomy, self-affirmation and the achievem…ent of personal goals. But today this process of individuation is coming to an end and morphing into its opposite: disindividuation. The individual is giving way to the progressive loss of individuality, while social life is turning us into a society of 'dividuals' that is, beings who are becoming unaware of their uniqueness and are losing their sense of self.The main driver of this process is technology. The more individuals rely on technological devices to fill the social void and mitigate loneliness, the more they are recognized not so much for themselves as for being the bearers of devices that contain all the information required for their identification: images, texts and the digital traces of earlier exchanges. Individuals increasingly renounce their privacy, sharing it with a device that becomes an integral part of themselves. Deprived of uniqueness, the dividual is a lonely being who no longer has the ability to relate effectively to others and to external reality. We move towards a future without hope, as we are immersed in the ever innovative flow of information on screens and content to survive the present, as if nothing mattered. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Challenging the thought of Zygmunt Bauman on the subject of liquid modernity, where everything has become unstable, precarious and uncertain, Carlo Bordoni (author with Bauman of »State of Crisis«) proposes to look at contemporary society as an »interregnum«, a temporary break with the past. In a condi…tion characterised by anomie, the questioning of democratic achievements and the primacy of an unbridled economy, he offers a new perspective on our social condition. Understanding the interregnum and being aware of its instability and the social degradation that it entails can help us to make the right choices.
