responsible parties ian shapiro frances mccall rosenbluth

How popular democracy has paradoxically eroded trust in political systems worldwide, and how to restore confidence in democratic politics Democracies across the world are adopting reforms to bring politics closer to the people. Parties have turned to primaries and local caucuses to select candidates. Ballot initiatives and referenda allow citizens to enact laws directly. Many democracies now use proportional representation, encouraging smaller, more specific parties rather than two dominant ones. Yet voters keep getting angrier. There is a steady erosion of trust in politicians, parties, and democratic institutions, culminating most recently in major populist victories in the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. Frances Rosenbluth and Ian Shapiro argue that devolving power to the grass roots is part of the problem, not the solution. Efforts to decentralize political decision-making make governments and especially political parties less effective and less able to address constituents' long-term interests. To revive confidence in governance, we must restructure our political systems to restore power to the core institution of representative democracy: the political party.

Kniha známého amerického politologa Iana Shapira z roku 2007 se věnuje současné zahraniční politice Spojených států, která po 11. září čelí zcela novým výzvám. Představuje politiku zadržování (containment) jako alternativu k nefunkční Bushově doktríně. Politika zadržování přizpůsobená realitě 21. století podle Shapira nabízí "nejlepší ochranu Američanů před násilnými útoky a zároveň je nejlepším způsobem, jak zachovat demokracii v Americe a také ji šířit ve světě." Shapirova smělá vize bezpečnosti ve světě po 11. září připomíná Dlouhý telegram George Kennana, ve kterém byla strategie zadržování poprvé představena. Ve druhé polovině 20. století pomohla Americe vyhrát studenou válku a Shapiro ve své další brilantní analýze mocenských strategií ukazuje, nakolik má šanci uchránit Spojené státy před hrozbou světového terorismu.

Kniha současného amerického politického teoretika Iana Shapira je věnována zkoumání legitimity politické moci. Autor nejprve charakterizuje osvícenské pojetí politiky založené na vědě a následně podrobně rozebírá tři hlavní tradice, jež z tohoto pojetí vychází: utilitarismus, marxismus a tradici společenské smlouvy. Další kapitola je věnována kritikům osvícenského myšlení a celá kniha je zakončena úvahami o tom, jak v současnosti formulovat demokracii, jež by mohla dále rozvíjet osvícenský projekt. Shapirova čtivá a fundovaná kniha hledá odpovědi na otázky občanů, kteří se ptají, proč a do jaké míry je stát může nutit k nějakému jednání.

Bestselling novelist Alexander McCall Smith''s charming account of how the poet W. H. Auden has helped guide his life—and how he might guide yours, tooWhen facing a moral dilemma, Isabel Dalhousie—Edinburgh philosopher, amateur detective, and title character of a series of novels by best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith—often refers to the great twentieth-century poet W. H. Auden. This is no accident: McCall Smith has long been fascinated by Auden. Indeed, the novelist, best known for his No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, calls the poet not only the greatest literary discovery of his life but also the best of guides on how to live. In this book, McCall Smith has written a charming personal account about what Auden has done for him—and what he just might do for you.Part self-portrait, part literary appreciation, the book tells how McCall Smith first came across the poet''s work in the 1970s, while teaching law in Belfast, a violently divided city where Auden''s "September 1, 1939," a poem about the outbreak of World War II, strongly resonated. McCall Smith goes on to reveal how his life has related to and been inspired by other Auden poems ever since. For example, he describes how he ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West. So why are we on the verge of throwing it all away? In 2016, New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro spoke at the University of California-Berkeley. Hundreds of police officers were required to protect his speech. What was so frightening about Shapiro? He came to argue that Western civilization is in the midst of a crisis of purpose and ideas; that we have let grievances replace our sense of community and political expediency limit our individual rights; that we are teaching our kids that their emotions matter more than rational debate; and that the only meaning in life is arbitrary and subjective. As a society, we are forgetting that almost everything great that has ever happened in history happened because of people who believed in both Judeo-Christian values and in the Greek-born power of reason. In The Right Side of History, Shapiro sprints through more than 3,500 years, dozens of philosophers, and the thicket of modern politics to show how our freedoms are built upon the twin notions that every human being is made in God's image and that human beings were created with ...

Původní cena: 299 Kč, celková sleva: 67 % Neortodoxní a mnoha duchovním tradicím otevřený rabín Rami Shapiro přijímá původně buddhistický koncept milující laskavosti a spojuje ho s podněty dalších spiritualit. Milující laskavost nachází v charakteristice židovského Boha a v jeho atributech, jak je dále rozvíjí judaismus, ale i křesťanství, islám a další. Shapiro probírá třináct biblických atributů Boží milující laskavosti jako rámec pro kultivaci dobrého života každého člověka, který je volán k tomu, být Bohu podobný. Vede tak člověka k objevení zdrojů jeho vlastní důstojnosti, velkorysosti, laskavosti a dobroty. Každý může rozšířit své srdce, když: – je laskavý skrze soucitnou upřímnost – dělá si v srdci místo pro realitu – rozpoznává Boží projevy – obejme paradox nevědění – je přítomný v daném okamžiku aj. Rami M. Shapiro, známý jako „Rabbi Rami“, je oceňovaný autor, učitel a přednášející, představitel liberálního judaismu se zájmem o současné spirituality.

Kniha Nové dětství nabízí nový, revoluční pohled na moderní technologie, kterým jsou naše děti denně vystavovány. Ve světě, kde hraní videoher a používání internetu dětmi vzbuzuje obavy a inspiruje k množství výzkumů, zabývajících se dopadem těchto vlivů na vývoj našich děti, nabízí Jordan Shapiro na první pohled až překvapivě tolerantní přístup. Skutečně dělá hraní videoher z dětí zombíky a připravuje je o poctivé dětství? Nebo je naopak může jistým způsobem rozvíjet? Vždyť mezi jejich a naším dětstvím vlastně ani nemusí byt takový zásadní rozdíl. Shapiro nejenže nabízí jiný úhel pohledu, navíc dobře vysvětlený a podložený fakty, ale v jisté části se jeho kniha mění na povinnou příručku pro rodiče. Oddělit děti od moderních technologií a sociálních sítí je dnes nemožné. Ale díky autorovým postřehům a radám můžeme děti naučit využívat je zodpovědně a bez negativních následků. Kniha Jordana Shapiro vám neřekne, že máte dětem všechna moderní lákadla vzít, protože jsou špatné. Naučí vás však, jak děti do digitálního světa vyslat natolik připravené, aby na ně tento svět nepůsobil destruktivně.

The New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance delivers her most intimate and powerful work: a piercing, life-affirming memoir about marriage and memory, sorrow and love. Hourglass is an inquiry into how marriage is transformed by time - abraded, strengthened, shaped in miraculous and sometimes terrifying ways by accident and experience. With courage and relentless honesty, Dani Shapiro opens the door to her house, her marriage, and her heart, and invites us to witness her own marital reckoning - a reckoning in which she confronts both the life she dreamed of and the life she made, and struggles to reconcile the girl she was with the woman she has become. What are the forces that shape our most elemental bonds? How do we make lifelong commitments in the face of identities that are continuously shifting, and commit ourselves for all time when the self is so often in flux? What happens to love in the face of the unexpected, in the face of disappointment and compromise - how do we wrest beauty from imperfection, find grace in the ordinary, desire what we have rather than what we lack?Drawing on literature, poetry, philosophy, and theology, Shapiro writes gloriously of the joys ...

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Debates about science and religion are rarely out of the news. Whether it concerns what''s being taught in schools, clashes between religious values and medical recommendations, or questions about how to address our changing global environment, emotions often run high and answers seem intractable. Yet there is much more to science and religion than the clash of extremes. As Thomas Dixon and Adam Shapiro show in this balanced and thought-provoking Very Short Introduction, a whole range of views, subtle arguments, and fascinating perspectives can be found on this complex and centuries-old subject. They explore the key philosophical questions that underlie the debate, but also highlight the social, political, and ethical contexts that have made the tensions between science and religion such a fraught and interesting topic in the modern world. In this new edition, Dixon and Shapiro connect historical concepts such as evolution, the heliocentric solar system, and the problem of evil to present-day issues including the politicization of science; debates over mind, body, and identity; and the moral necessity of addressing environmental change.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021: POLITICS BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL "A must-read for anyone interested in the Supreme Court."—MIKE LEE, Republican senator from Utah Politics have always intruded on Supreme Court appointments. But although the Framers would recognize the way justices are nominated and confirmed today, something is different. Why have appointments to the high court become one of the most explosive features of our system of government? As Ilya Shapiro makes clear in Supreme Disorder, this problem is part of a larger phenomenon. As government has grown, its laws reaching even further into our lives, the courts that interpret those laws have become enormously powerful. If we fight over each new appointment as though everything were at stake, it’s because it is. When decades of constitutional corruption have left us subject to an all-powerful tribunal, passions are sure to flare on the infrequent occasions when the political system has an opportunity to shape it. And so we find the process of judicial appointments verging on dysfunction. Shapiro weighs the many proposals for reform, from the modest (term limits) to the radical (court-packing), but shows that there can be no quick fix for a judicial system ...

And if only Matthew, her boss at the art gallery, hadn''t wandered into his local bookshop and picked up a particular book at a particular time, he would never have knocked over his former English teacher or attracted the attentions of the police.Whether caused by small things such as a cup of coffee and a book, or major events such as Stuart''s application for promotion and his wife Irene''s decision to go off and study for a PhD in Aberdeen, change is coming to serial fiction''s favourite street.

For years, responsible investing has been a bewildering precinct in asset management. To many, the idea of aligning your values with your investment portfolio seemed naïve. Slowly and steadily, responsible investing morphed from a movement into an industry on course to command $50 trillion in assets by 2025— a third of the capital at work in the markets. And yet responsible investing has remained as difficult to traverse as ever. It’s drawn fire from critics who’ve branded the approach “woke capitalism” whilst more “responsible” generations of investors are poised to marshal trillions of assets of their own into the business - we are at an inflection point.As a responsible investing practitioner for more than 25 years, author Amy O’Brien has taken part in this revolution in asset management. With geopolitical conflicts, economic instability, and climate change fomenting unprecedented “polycrises”, she believes there is no more effective way to address the challenges of the 21st century than through responsible investing. Like most tectonic shifts in asset management, responsible investing has been complicated, hard to define, and hard to measure. But doing so is not only possible, it''s also imperative.Over nine chapters, the book takes readers on a journey of the evolution ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Ben Shapiro v knize Jak zachránit západní civilizaci míří z pohledu dnešní krize Západu ke kořenům evropské kultury, na něž současná převažující materialistická a hédonistická kultura zapomněla. Vysvětluje, že bez dědictví Athén a Jeruzaléma je ohrožena nejen svoboda a řád, soudržnost demo-kratické společnosti, ale i dnešní, nikdy v minulosti nevídaný blahobyt. Dramaticky popisuje 3 000 let evropských dějin, jež spojily zdánlivě neslučitelné: židovsko-křesťanskou existenciální víru s řeckou filosofií. V symbióze této víry a rozumu vyrostla nejúspěšnější civilizace, která dala světu vědu a techniku, dramatické umění a představu osobní svobody, lidské důstojnosti i občanských práv. Autor hájí řecký přirozený zákon telos, který z konečného účelu lidské přirozenosti vyvozuje, že člověk má pěstováním ctností směřovat k naplnění smyslu svého života, tedy k moudrosti a vznešenosti. Bez vyššího smyslu života se Západ zhroutí do chaosu iracionálních svárů, jak to vidíme dnes, kdy věcnou diskusi nahrazují vášně, subjektivita, etnická nebo menšinová identita a podobně. Paradoxně totiž i sám rozum závisí na víře – víře v racionální, poznatelný a objektivní svět, v němž rozpoznává Stvořitele.

Když se Karola Sidona v polovině sedmdesátých let zeptal Jiří Lederer (v interview pro České rozhovory), co ve své tvorbě myšlenkově sleduje, oč mu jde, Sidon mu zprvu nerozuměl. Lederer se mu tedy snažil pomoci: "Rozumíš, jde mi o to, abys sám sebe interpretoval". A Sidon: "Právě o tohle mi jde: abych sám sebe interpretoval." Ano, opravdu se dá říci, že veškerá Sidonova tvorba je poznamenána hledáním vlastní identity, a proto i snahou nemilosrdně poznat sama sebe, hodnotu svého jednání. Tvorba spisovatele, scénáristy a dramatika Karola Sidona byla u nás v sedmdesátých a osmdesátých letech umlčována, a poté byl Sidon dokonce donucen strávit sedm let v exilu. Nyní je známou osobností nejen díky své umělecké tvorbě, ale i díky svému působení v postavení zemského rabína. Tři hry zařazené v tomto svazku (Labyrint, Shapira a Třináct oken) patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co Karol Sidon napsal.

Jak se z talentovaného dramatika a básníka stal jeden z největších autorů v dějinách literatury? V Shapirově nebývale živém líčení můžeme sledovat, co Shakespeare v roce 1599 četl, jaké hry viděl a s kým spolupracoval, stejně tak jako dějinné události, které hýbaly alžbětinskou Anglií. Výsledek už známe: v tomto událostmi nabitém roce Shakespeare investuje do nového divadla Globe a po večerech (!) napíše hned čtyři hry - Jindřicha V., Julia Caesara, Jak se vám líbí a konečně Hamleta - snad nejobdivovanější hru všech dob. S tím, jak se dozvíme, co k jejich vzniku vedlo, se prohloubí i naše porozumění a při příští návštěvě divadla uvidíme své oblíbené postavy zase v jiném světle.

When Ida is sent away for the summer to stay with the Murphys - friends of her father, but also of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald - she travels from New York to France and, unknowingly, into the artistic epicentre of 1929. There, she meets their haughty, sullen, and precocious daughter, Honoria, and wonders if she can be friends with the prettiest girl in the whole world. In the ''perfect inverted world'' of adults, one of constant play and leisure - and inebriation, of course - it''s the children who most acutely perceive the pervasive unhappiness bubbling beneath the surface gaiety. Achingly sad and effortlessly funny, full of the kind of youthful sincerity unclouded by pretenses of age, short story writer and cartoonist Janice Shapiro''s debut graphic novel, HONORIA, is the complex story of the education of two young girls who have started moving slowly into womanhood.

Zpochybňuje tradiční předpoklady o původu a rozdělení rodičovských rolí a úkolů.V naší společnosti se začaly měnit genderové normy a z nich vyplývající (i ekonomická) očekávání. Začalo se také měnit pojetí "tradiční rodiny". Je proto nejvyšší čas přehodnotit některé aspekty otcovství.Otcové jsou však prostřednictvím různých médií neustále bombardováni domněnkami, které pocházejí z viktoriánského nebo industriálního chápání postavení a role otce v rodině.Moderní otcovství tak nabízí tolik potřebné aktualizované chápání otcovství a role otců v životě jejich dětí a mužství obecně.

1606: William Shakespeare and the Year of Lear traces Shakespeare''s life and times from the autumn of 1605, when he took an old and anonymous Elizabethan play, The Chronicle History of King Leir, and transformed it into his most searing tragedy, King Lear.1606 proved to be an especially grim year for England, which witnessed the bloody aftermath of the Gunpowder Plot, divisions over the Union of England and Scotland, and an outbreak of plague. But it turned out to be an exceptional one for Shakespeare, unrivalled at identifying the fault-lines of his cultural moment, who before the year was out went on to complete two other great Jacobean tragedies that spoke directly to these fraught times: Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra.Following the biographical style of 1599, a way of thinking and writing that Shapiro has made his own, 1606: William Shakespeare and the Year of Lear promises to be one of the most significant and accessible works on Shakespeare in the decade to come

For two hundred years after William Shakespeare''s death, no one thought to argue that somebody else had written his plays. Since then dozens of rival candidates - including The Earl of Oxford, Sir Francis Bacon and Christopher Marlowe - have been proposed as their true author. Contested Will unravels the mystery of when and why so many people began to question whether Shakespeare wrote the plays (among them such leading writers and artists as Sigmund Freud, Henry James, Mark Twain, Helen Keller, Orson Welles, and Sir Derek Jacobi)Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro''s fascinating search for the source of this controversy retraces a path strewn with fabricated documents, calls for trials, false claimants, concealed identity, bald-faced deception and a failure to grasp what could not be imagined. If Contested Will does not end the authorship question once and for all, it will nonetheless irrevocably change the nature of the debate by confronting what''s really contested: are the plays and poems of Shakespeare autobiographical, and if so, do they hold the key to the question of who wrote them.

Why the tools of philosophy offer a powerful antidote to today’s epidemic of irrationalityThere is an epidemic of bad thinking in the world today. An alarming number of people are embracing crazy, even dangerous ideas. They believe that vaccinations cause autism. They reject the scientific consensus on climate change as a “hoax.” And they blame the spread of COVID-19 on the 5G network or a Chinese cabal. Worse, bad thinking drives bad acting—it even inspired a mob to storm the U.S. Capitol. In this book, Steven Nadler and Lawrence Shapiro argue that the best antidote for bad thinking is the wisdom, insights, and practical skills of philosophy. When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People provides an engaging tour through the basic principles of logic, argument, evidence, and probability that can make all of us more reasonable and responsible citizens. When Bad Thinking Happens to Good People shows how we can more readily spot and avoid flawed arguments and unreliable information; determine whether evidence supports or contradicts an idea; distinguish between merely believing something and knowing it; and much more. In doing so, the book reveals how epistemology, which addresses the nature of belief and knowledge, and ethics, the study of ... Unknown localization key: "more"
