In Reshaping Reason, John McCumber advocates new life for American philosophy. At present, McCumber believes, American philosophy is ready to go in new directions, but American philosophers remain hopelessly divided between analytic or Continental approaches. There seems to be no middle ground, and the debate between the two traditions has created indifference to the field, both in wider intellectual culture and among philosophers themselves. Here, McCumber brings together aspects of analytic and Continental philosophy to give, for the first time, a fully temporalized account of reason. He pro

This book examines the ways in which nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) contribute to the development and maintenance of global civil society. Basing his argument on the contention that "people make politics," the author investigates eight NGOs and connects their organizational activities to global civil society’s dynamics and processes. In constructing an analytical framework for understanding global civil society, the author reviews traditional understandings of civil society, integrates these with a classical theoretical approach that places people at the center of world politics, a

Caught up in current social changes, we do not fully understand the reshaping of social life. In sociological analyses there is a conceptual gap between subjectivities and social structural processes, and we face real difficulties in understanding social change and diversity. Through analysis of key areas of social life, here, Sarah Irwin develops a new and exciting resource for better understanding our changing social world. Breaking with conventional approaches and reconnecting the subjective with the objective, Irwin’s book develops a new conceptual and analytical perspective with soc

Moreland Perkins’s "Reshaping the Sexes in ’Sense and Sensibility’" is an accessible exploration of Jane Austen’s revision and reversal of sexual stereotypes. He argues that Austen’s first published novel, "Sense and Sensibility", embodies her most sustained effort at correcting dominant concepts of gender in her era. Through an analysis of the text, he demonstrates how the novel’s protagonists deviate from ruling ideas of their sexes and reveal Austen’s own feminist tendencies. By comparing Elinor Dashwood to Austen’s other female protagonists,
