Юк Хуэй - Вопрос о технике в Китае. Эссе о космотехнике

Книга гонконгского философа Юка Хуэя представляет собой исследование историко-метафизического вопроса о технике. Опираясь на идеи Жана-Франсуа Лиотара, Жильбера Симондона, Бернара Стиглера и представляя историю современной восточной мысли (включая такие фигуры, как Фэн Юлань, Моу Цзунсань и Кэйдзи Ниситани), в значительной степени неизвестной русским читателям, автор проливает новый свет на вопрос о технике в Китае.

Почему техника никогда не тематизировалась в китайской мысли? Почему время никогда не было настоящим вопросом для китайской философии? Как трансформировалось традиционное понятие Ци в отношении к Дао по мере того, как Китай принимал технологическую современность и вестернизацию?

В «Вопросе о технике в Китае» систематический исторический обзор основных понятий традиционной китайской мысли сопровождается оригинальным исследованием перечисленных проблем и подводит к вопросу: как китайская мысль может сегодня поспособствовать критической переоценке глобализированной техники с космотехнических позиций?

Ryan Coogler’s Oscar-nominated horror film is a compelling tale of black heroism, but its faith in entrepreneurship and cultural essentialism rings hollow.

Beyond Neoliberalism and Neo-illiberalism: Economic Policies and Performance for Sustainable Democracy

In many countries, the political backlash against neoliberalism has mainly been a retreat from democracy, with a decline in independence of the judiciary and the monetary authorities, increased control of the media, and manipulation of elections for purposes of authoritarian control. The economic dynamics and the impact of neoliberalism, i.e. deregulation and liberalized markets, is just one cause of this authoritarian shift. The contributors to this volume examine the impact of neoliberal economic policies in relation to cultural and political factors and how these have promoted the recent authoritarian turn, as well as probing the economic policies and performance of the illiberal regimes.

The Routledge Handbook of Autocratization

The Routledge Handbook of Autocratization comprehensively and systematically explores the current understanding, and unchartered research paths, of autocratization. With wide-reaching regional coverage and expert analysis from Asia, North and South America, Europa, the Middle East, and North Africa, this handbook reveals cross-country, and cross-regional, analysis and insights and presents in-depth explanations and consequences of autocratization. Arranged in five thematic parts, chapters explore the basic aspects of conceptualization, theorization, and measurement of autocratization; the role of various political and non-political actors as perpetrators, supporters, bystanders, or defenders of democracy against autocratization processes; and the consequences across various policy fields. Showcasing cutting-edge research developments, the handbook illustrates the deeply complex nature of the field, examining important topics in need of renewed consideration at a time of growing concerns for democracy and the global spread of authoritarian challenges to democracy. The Routledge Handbook of Autocratization will be a key reference for those interested in, and studying authoritarianism, democratization, human rights, governance, democracy and more broadly comparative politics, and regional/area studies.
