Philosophical Interventions: Reviews 1986-2011

Autor Martha C. Nussbaum
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mar 2012
This volume collects the notable published book reviews of Martha C. Nussbaum, a philosopher and high profile public intellectual who comments often on issues in philosophy, politics, gender equality, economics, and the law. Many of her engagements have been through the medium of the book review, which she has published prolifically in academic journals and in high profile venues like The New Republic and The New York Times for over 20 years. This volume collects 25 of what she considers to be her key reviews. The reviews date from 1986 and range to the present, and engage with authors like Roger Scruton, Allan Bloom, Charles Taylor, Judith Butler, Richard Posner, Catherine MacKinnon, and other prominent intellectuals of our time. Throughout, her views defy ideological predictability, heralding interesting work from unlikely sources, deftly critiquing where it is deserved, and generally providing a compelling picture of how intellectuals might engage with broad social concerns. Nussbaum will provide a new introduction that explains her selection, and provides her view of the role of public intellectuals.

Recenzii

[Nussbaum] brings the history of philosophy to life by applying it to issues of ongoing public concern ... this volume serves as a perfect introduction to some of the most important socio-political debates of the past 25 years ... I cannot think of a better guide to this small part of the history of ideas than Nussbaum.
