  • Political Judgment

    An Introduction

    by Peter J. Steinberger ...
    Series series Key Concepts in Political Theory
    Politics is the process by which communities collectively decide to pursue certain courses of action. It is, as such, always a matter of judgment.

  • Territory Beyond Terra

    Edited by Kimberley Peters, Elaine Stratford, Philip Steinberg ...
    Series series Geopolitical Bodies, Material Worlds
    At the root of our understanding of territory is the concept of terra—land—a surface of fixed points with stable features that can be calculated, categorised, and controlled. But what of the many spaces on Earth that defy this simplistic characterisation: Oceans in which ‘places’ are continuously re-formed? Air that can never be fully contained? Watercourses that obtain their value by transcending ... Read more

  • Reasons without Rationalism

In Reasons without Rationalism, Kieran Setiya shows that these doubts rest on a mistake.

  • The Social Theory of Practices

    Tradition, Tacit Knowledge and Prepositions

    by Stephen P. Turner ...
    This book presents the first analysis and critique of the idea of practice as it has developed in the various theoretical traditions of the social sciences and the humanities. The concept of a practice, understood broadly as a tacit possession that is 'shared' by and the same for different people, has a fatal difficulty, the author argues. This object must in some way be transmitted, 'reproduced', ... Read more
