Hodnocení kvality života a udržitelného rozvoje. Data, indikátory, informace
Indikátory kvality života a udržitelného rozvoje jsou založeny na principech moderní vědy – neříkají, jaký by svět nebo konkrétní hodnocený fakt měl být, ale jaký je. Slouží pro hodnocení koncepcí, které na základě širokého společenského konsenzu definují hlavní environmentální, ekonomické a sociální problémy lidstva. Interpretují se v širokých společenských souvislostech, a proto se využívají v rozhodovacích procesech na různých úrovních. Jednotlivé kapitoly knihy provádí aktuálními poznatky z tvorby a využití indikátorů – zabývají se teoretickými východisky a metodologickými postupy i konkrétními příklady indikátorů nejvíce používaných či citovaných. Kniha je určena pro odbornou veřejnost, studenty i kohokoliv se zájmem o hodnocení společenského rozvoje.
The World Under Capitalism
Branko Milanovic is best known as one of the world’s leading experts on global inequality. But he is also an unusually wide-ranging and penetrating commentator on subjects across economics and beyond, in politics, history, and culture. This book brings together his most searching, provocative, and entertaining articles of recent years, providing an abundance of vital insights into the evolution and dynamics of the world under capitalism. The volume features important ideas about the struggle to achieve a more equal and prosperous world against not only the predictable forces of deregulation and distraction but new ideas about shrinking the economy to protect the environment. Further from Milanovic’s speciality, readers will find an extraordinary array of reflections on subjects including migration, globalization, the politics and economics of Russia and China, the crisis of liberal democracy, economic and literary history, and the intellectual giants of economics. The pieces are united by Milanovic’s distinctive voice – humane, wry, and realistic – and by remarkable erudition worn lightly whether the topic is the fall of Constantinople, Jane Austen, or the mores of contemporary soccer. No one can fail to learn from the book, while the sparkling prose, unexpected observations, and sheer importance of the subjects at hand make it a compelling read from start to finish. Now available as an audiobook.
The Paradox of Morality
The last work by “one of the most singular voices of twentieth-century French philosophy” (Critical Inquiry) on the complexities of love in public and private life Vladimir Jankélévitch stands alongside Emmanuel Levinas as one of the most admired French ethicists of the twentieth century, known for his work on everything from the possibility of forgiveness after the Holocaust to the philosophy of music. In his final work, The Paradox of Morality (1981), Jankélévitch turns his attention to the fundamental questions of the moral life: the struggle between egoism and self-sacrifice, the question of whether pure or infinite love exists, and moral agency in the pursuit of human rights. In dialogue with philosophers from Plato to Nietzsche, Jankélévitch proposes that the moral life comprises an acrobatic act in which we must balance the demands of love and our responsibility to the other against our natural attachment to the self. Morality is the activity of realizing and combining, in each individual action, the maximum amount of love possible with the minimum of being. This oscillation between self and other—and between being and love—is never fixed or stable. In the end, morality is not something that exists in the world of contemplation; instead, it is the substance of what must be done here and now: created anew in each new moment.
Feminism, Defeated
Feminism has been defeated. Once a politics, feminism is now a philosophy, an epistemology, a method. Once for women, it is now for everyone. Once in pursuit of liberation, it now seeks only inclusion. In Feminism, Defeated, Kate Phelan traces the depoliticization and ultimately, the defeat of feminism. She recovers the second-wave view of men and women as sex-classes, enemies, political kinds, a view more radical than the contemporary view of men and women as social constructs. She also describes how poststructuralism displaced this view and replaced it with another. In this view, the sex/gender binary constructs men and women, and excludes the gender nonconforming. As this view replaced the second-wave one, the injustice of men’s oppression of women was replaced by that of exclusion, and the goal of women’s liberation was replaced by that of inclusion. Thus did feminism become the trans-inclusionary movement as which we now know it, and Phelan shows that this shift was not the progression of feminism; it was the betrayal of it. In this highly original and persuasive study, she argues that the recent emergence of a new gender-critical feminism presents a moment of opportunity to reclaim feminism’s political project.
Morality and Responsibility
T. M. Scanlon is one of the world’s leading philosophers, widely known for his contractualist moral theory and his distinctive account of moral responsibility and blame. In these important essays, written between 2001 and 2021, Scanlon reflects on the lines of thinking that led him to these views, considers objections to them, and locates them in relation to the views of others, including Derek Parfit, Harry Frankfurt, Gary Watson, and Christine Korsgaard. The result will be essential reading for scholars and students in moral philosophy, political philosophy, and the philosophy of law.

Gettóélet '44
1944/45-ben a német mintát követve Magyarországon is megvalósult a náci típusú gettósítás, ennek következtében végül közel 600 000 ember került 221 gettóba, majd a munka- és haláltáborokba.
A tervszerűen végrehajtott elkülönítés és népirtás ugyan nem újkeletű gondolat, a gettók gyakorlati "haszna" és "hasznosulása" mégis csak fokozatosan bontakozott ki a nácik előtt is. A lakáshiány, a városok átalakulása, a kifosztás lehetőségei szépen lassan alakították ki a kényszerlakhelyek típusait és funkcióit. A magyarországi gettósítás eleinte némileg eltért az Európában elterjedt megoldásoktól, ám az 1944 tavaszán ideérkező náci zsidótlanító tanácsadók már 5-6 év tapasztalatával vágtak bele Európa egyik legnagyobb zsidó közösségének kifosztásába és kiirtásába, és ennek megoldása kapcsán számos pártra, mozgalomra, politikusra, társadalmi szervezetre tudtak támaszkodni.
A magyarországi vidéki gettók Európa "gyors" történetű kényszerlakhelyei lettek, azonban a mai napig nem lehet teljes képet bemutatni róluk, mivel hiányoznak az átfogó történeti munkák. Jelen kötet a fogalmak tisztázása és a szakirodalom alapos feldolgozása mellett fel kívánja hívni a figyelmet a magyarországi gettók működésének és történetének több aspektusára, jellemzőjére és a történettudomány adósságára.
Tell el-Retábí a príbeh jeho objavovania
Sídliská, pohrebiská, pevnosti – to všetko sa skrýva pod staroegyptským tellom, ktorý od roku 2007 skúma tím poľských a slovenských egyptológov a ďalších odborníkov. Ich výsledky prináša táto publikácia, prierez veľkou časťou staroegyptských dejín a rovnako prierez vedeckými disciplínami, ktoré dokážu obraz starých Egypťanov obohacovať aj meniť. Predstavuje jedinečnú mozaiku nielen doterajších nálezov, ale aj metód použitých na ich objavovanie.
Tell el-Retábí sa nachádza v údolí Tumilát, vytvorenom jedným z pradávnych nílskych ramien. To neústilo do mora, ale do Suezskej šije, kde napájalo viacero jazier. Faraóni ho využívali ako strategickú cestu k Červenému moru, na Sinaj, do Sýropalestíny a ešte ďalej. Poviedka o Sinuhetovi naznačuje, že slúžilo aj ako obranná línia pred nepriateľmi z východu a severovýchodu. Obchod, spracovanie rôznych surovín a obrana tak najviac ovplyvnili vývoj lokality a život jej obyvateľov.
Túto bohato ilustrovanú knihu zostavil multidisciplinárny tím autorov – egyptológov, archeológov, historikov a predstaviteľov spolupracujúcich vedných disciplín – antropológie, archeobotaniky, archeozoológie, geodézie, keramológie, pedológie, či stavebného inžinierstva. Snaží sa ísť v šľapajach Vojtecha Zamarovského a v slovenčine popularizovať jedinečný príbeh významného miesta staroegyptských dejín.
Burn Them Out!
In November 2023, the Dublin riots shocked Ireland and the wider world. They were sparked by a knife attack by an immigrant on three children. Inflammatory online rumours spread in minutes. Part of the north inner city were wrecked, cars and buses torched, and protestors wreaked havoc on the streets for hours.Until very recently, Ireland had prided itself on having escaped the wave of far-right, xenophobic populism now rampant throughout Europe. That complacency has been rudely challenged.In Burn Them Out!, Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc explores the long history that has led to this pivotal moment. He uncovers the pervasive anti-Semitism of the Irish political elite in the 1920s and 30s, the energetic efforts of Mosley and other British fascists to extend their movement to the North of Ireland, the IRA’s alliance with Nazi Germany in the 40s and the many ultra-Catholic, anti-communist Irish movements that were millimetres away from fascism. He tells the story of exotic entities like the Fascio di Dublino, the Dublin branch of Mussolini''s Fascist Party, and the Irish wing of Miss Rotha Lintorn-Orman''s ‘British Fascisti’. The openly-fascist Irish movement known as the Blueshirts, an offshoot and ally of the early Fine Gael, is looked at with fresh eyes, and its supporters’ statements about Jews now make for hair-raising reading. Many of its proponents went on to become pillars of the Irish political and cultural establishment. And the Catholic and nationalist Ailtirí na hAiséirghe (Architects of the Resurrection), a post-war sect, was in many ways a precursor of today’s Irish far right.This is an essential book about an aspect of Irish history all too often swept under the carpet.
Arise, England
''An absorbing and eye-opening account of what the Plantagenets did for us.'' - HELEN CASTOR''Burt and Partington show precisely and engagingly why the Middle Ages matter.'' - DAN JONESBetween 1199 and 1399, English politics was high drama. These two centuries witnessed savage political blood-letting – including civil war, deposition, the murder of kings and the ruthless execution of rebel lords – as well as international warfare, a devastating national pandemic, economic crisis and the first major peasant uprising in English history.Arise, England uses the six Plantagenet kings who ruled during these two centuries to explore England’s emergent statehood. Drawing on original accounts and arresting new research, it draws resonances between government, international relations, and the abilities, egos and ambitions of political actors, then and now. Colourful and complicated, and by turns impressive and hateful, the six kings stride through the story; but arguably the greatest character is the emerging English state itself.
Feeding the Machine
Big Tech has sold us the illusion that artificial intelligence is a frictionless technology that will bring wealth and prosperity to humanity.

Based on hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of fieldwork over more than a decade, this book shows us the lives of the workers often deliberately concealed from view and the systems of power that determine their future.

Ordinary People Don't Carry Machine Guns
In Ordinary People Don''t Carry Machine Guns, Artem Chapeye reveals his war, intimate and senseless, withholding nothing about his motivations, his nightmares, his new relationship with the world. Here one man, a pacifist turned fighter, a story writer turned soldier considers the reasons for and reactions to war on a very personal level. Chapeye investigates his role in the Ukrainian people''s defense against the Russian army and his responsibilities as a father, a writer, a soldier, and a man of conviction. An avowed pacifist until 2022, Chapeye joined the Ukrainian army in the first days of the invasion. He tries to understand the large-scale decision-making that has a defining impact on both individual citizens and society-at-large: many of his fellow soldiers never considered enlisting before finding themselves at war; others fled the country. He wonders what his young children at home are doing and what they''re feeling. The book has three parts, offering historical analogies and literary references throughout. ''When Darkness Comes'' relates the first days of the full-scale invasion in February 2022 when lives and the peace were shattered. ''It''s Necessary to Cultivate Your Garden'' details the experience of the everyday people of Ukraine, workers and peasants, who look forward to returning to simpler lives. The last section, ''People Aren''t Divided into Brands,'' critiques the elitism of those who consider themselves above those who ''''simply'' fight. Deeply thought-provoking, intelligent, and heartbreaking, this is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the ways that war can change everything.

Family Matters
This Element studies how career support from romantic partners affects career patterns and costs in politics. It argues that a lower level of career support from romantic partners leads to a lower likelihood for political promotion among women politicians (the partner support hypothesis), as well as greater stress on women politicians'' relationships when they advance (the career stress hypothesis). Both predictions find support in Swedish data for more than 80,000 political careers over a 50-year period. Women politicians are in relationships that prioritize their male partner''s career and where that partner does less unpaid work in the household. This is important in explaining women''s career disadvantage. It also explains why promotions double the divorce rate for women but leave men''s relationships intact. The analysis sheds light on the role played by romantic partners in gender inequality in politics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Building Socialism
By placing the party grassroots at the centre of its focus, Building Socialism presents an original account of the formative first two decades of the Soviet system. Assembled in a large network of primary party organisations (PPO), the Bolshevik rank-and-file was an army of activists made up of ordinary people. While far removed from the levers of power, they were nevertheless charged with promoting the Party''s programme of revolutionary social transformation in their workplaces, neighbourhoods, and households. Their regular meetings, conferences and campaigns have generated a voluminous source base. This rich material provides a unique view of the practical manifestation of the Party''s revolutionary mission and forms the basis of this insightful new narrative of how the Soviet republic functioned in the period from the end of the Russian Civil War in 1921 to its invasion by Nazi Germany in 1941.
The Once and Future World Order
The epic history of world order, revealing how the decline of the West may be a good thing for its future. Since the dawn of the twenty-first century, the West has been in crisis. Social unrest, political polarization, and the rise of other great powers - especially China - threaten to unravel today''s Western-led world order. Many fear this would lead to global chaos. But this is a Western illusion. Surveying five thousand years of global history, political scientist Amitav Acharya reveals that world order existed long before the rise of the West. Moving from ancient Sumer, India, Greece, and Mesoamerica, through medieval caliphates and Eurasian empires into the present, Acharya shows that humanitarian values, economic interdependence, and rules of inter-state conduct emerged across the globe over millennia. History suggests order will endure even as the West retreats. Instead of fearing the future, the West should learn from history and cooperate with the Rest to forge a more equitable order.
