Amerindian societies have an iconic status in classical political thought. For Montaigne, Hobbes, Locke, Hume and Rousseau, the native American ‘state of nature’ operates as a foil for the European polity. Challenging this tradition, The Imbalance of Power demonstrates ethnographically that the Carib speaking indigenous societies of the Guiana region of Amazonia do not fit conventional characterizations of ‘simple’ political units with ‘egalitarian’ political ideologies and ‘harmonious’ relationships with nature. Marc Brightman builds a persuasive and original theory of Amerindian politics: far from balanced and egalitarian, Carib societies are rife with tension and difference; but this imbalance conditions social dynamism and a distinctive mode of cohesion. The Imbalance of Power is based on the author’s fieldwork in partnership with Vanessa Grotti, who is working on a companion volume entitled Living with the Enemy: First Contacts and the Making of Christian Bodies in Amazonia.

Описание: Which kind of methodology should political philosophy endorse to jointly meet its theoretical and practical commitments? Virtuous Imbalance: Political Philosophy between Desirability and Feasibility assesses three paradigmatic cases to explore and explain political philosophy's attempts to answer this important question. Rawls's realistic utopianism, Machiavelli's realism, and Plato's utopianism are examined and explored as Francesca Pasquali presents the proper methodology political philosophy should endorse when attempting to attain equilibrium between the practical and the theoretical. These models are investigated with reference to desirability and feasibility; the former concerning the adequacy of normative principles, the latter the practical possibility of enacting them. Both realism and utopianism are shown to perform important and relevant functions with utopianism providing the criteria for judging political practices and realism developing principles for orienting political actors' conduct. An innovative version of realistic utopianism develops, avoiding the shortfalls detected in previous formulations whilst presenting a methodological strategy that enables political philosophy to play a proper public role, without dismissing theoretical concerns.

Disparitis, Catalytic Events
Professor Franz Schumacher, world renowned German environmentalist has irrefutable proof that the world is incapable of coping with his projection of 12 billion human beings inhabiting the earth by 2100. His moral dilemma about the future of the planet has reached breaking point.
Disillusioned by human greed and indifference to the environment, Franz's plan is the elimination of 5 billion people to arrest the downward spiral of destruction caused by unstoppable population growth and consumption.
Social destabilization, climate manipulation and technological innovation are used as catalysts to achieve his objective.
The resulting international reactions, not always foreseen, span every continent in a series of interwoven and intriguing events.
Set in 2020, this shocking yet academically sensible scenario is exciting, disturbing and captivating.
Disparities, Catalytic Events is the first in a trilogy of a potentially true story of what the future might hold.
