The author tries to clarify some characteristics in the context of the intellectual history of Japan with regard to how and what aspects of Max Weber's theories have been introduced by Japanese social scientists. Max Weber's influence on Japan is so great that it is impossible to discuss the whole of it. Accordingly, in this article, the author refers only to a few social scientists who are notable from the viewpoint of some important problems, such as "overcoming modernity,' etc. Some aspects which are peculiar to the interpretation of Weber's theories on Oriental society in Japan are dealt with in relation to the author's interests in the last part of this article.

From New York Times bestselling author Cass Sunstein, a brisk, provocative book that shows what freedom really means--and requires--todayIn this pathbreaking book, New York Times bestselling author Cass Sunstein asks us to rethink freedom. He shows that freedom of choice isn't nearly enough. To be free, we must also be able to navigate life. People often need something like a GPS device to help them get where they want to go--whether the issue involves health, money, jobs, children, or relationships. In both rich and poor countries, citizens often have no idea how to get to their desired destination. That is why they are unfree. People also face serious problems of self-control, as many of them make decisions today that can make their lives worse tomorrow. And in some cases, we would be just as happy with other choices, whether a different partner, career, or place to live--which raises the difficult question of which outcome best promotes our well-being. Accessible and lively, and drawing on perspectives from the humanities, religion, and the arts, as well as social science and the law, On Freedom explores a crucial dimension of the human condition that philosophers and economists have long missed--and shows what it would take to make freedom real

First published in 1998, this volume is a historical and comparative study of treason, whose aim is to clarify and categorize the diverse and often mixed – even confused – motives which underlie treason, both at its conspiracy and implemental stages. Its approach is to use case studies ranging from classical society to modern cases of treachery to examine this complex issue. Some of the case studies will have a familiar ring, but others will not be so well known, as the book is not merely a popular recitation of spy stories. Rather, it is concerned with the nature of treason, and offers some theoretical pointers to treason as a social and psychological phenomenon. The text demonstrates that, while in common speech the term 'treason' has pejorative connotations, it is, in fact, a multi-faceted phenomenon which merits much closer investigation.

International audience ; In this article, we propose to study how English travellers described and perceived three aspects of Scandinavia between 1775 and 1800. These themes are landscape, agriculture and politics. In a first part, we will analyse the different perceptions of a physical or a fantasized landscape. On a second part, we will focus on how English travellers learned to dissociate theory and practical application thanks to the study of the Scandinavian models of agriculture and politics. ; Dans cet article, nous proposons d'étudier comment les voyageurs anglais ont décrit et perçu trois aspects de la Scandinavie entre 1775 et 1800.

In this thoughtful and original book, social scientist Olivier Godard considers the ways in which arguments of justice cling to international efforts to address global climate change. Proposals made by governments, experts and NGOs as well as concepts and arguments born of moral and political philosophy are introduced and critically examined. Godard contributes to this important debate by showing why global climate justice is still controversial, despite it being a key issue of our times.

This book brings together authors from different institutions and perspectives and from researchers specialising in different aspects of the experiences of the African Diaspora from Latin America. It creates an overview of the complexities of the lives of Black people over various periods of history, as they struggled to build lives away from Africa in societies that, in general, denied them the basic right of fully belonging, such as the right of fully belonging in the countries where, by ch

AbstractDeparting from the typical emphasis on the oppressed and the frames they deploy to make claims for rights, we analyse the frames deployed by a dominant group – in this case, organisations within the men's rights movement. Adopting a purposive comparative lens, we examine how men's rights organisations strategically shape and use frames across the sub‐national, national, and transnational levels. Using textual data from the websites of three men's rights organisations – a US‐based transnational organisation, one national organisation based in India, and one sub‐national organisation based in Pune, India – we discern two key frames deployed by the organisations: abstract egalitarianism and men as victims. However, the organisations emphasise different aspects of each of the two frames based on cultural context, either focusing on specific laws and their implementation or adopting a notion of a general "global culture".
