Why things matter to people : social science, values and ethical life

責任表示 Andrew Sayer
データ種別 図書
出版情報 Cambridge, U.K. : Cambridge University Press , 2011
本文言語 英語
大きさ ix, 284 p. ; 24 cm
概要 Andrew Sayer undertakes a fundamental critique of social science's difficulties in acknowledging that people's relation to the world is one of concern. As sentient beings, capable of flourishing and s...ffering, and particularly vulnerable to how others treat us, our view of the world is substantially evaluative. Yet modernist ways of thinking encourage the common but extraordinary belief that values are beyond reason, and merely subjective or matters of convention, with little or nothing to do with the kind of beings people are, the quality of their social relations, their material circumstances or their well-being. The author shows how social theory and philosophy need to change to reflect the complexity of everyday ethical concerns and the importance people attach to dignity. He argues for a robustly critical social science that explains and evaluates social life from the standpoint of human flourishing. Book jacket.
