Jacques Rancière ist ein französischer Philosoph, der sich mit den Konzepten des politischen Diskurses und der Rolle der Massen in der Gesellschaft auseinandersetzt. Sein Werk untersucht, wie wir Ideologie, das Proletariat und die Arbeiterklasse verstehen und wie diese Gruppen in Beziehung zum Wissen stehen. Rancière befasst sich auch mit dem Thema Menschenrechte und der Rolle internationaler Organisationen bei deren Durchsetzung. Seine ästhetische Theorie ist zu einem Referenzpunkt in der bildenden Kunst geworden.
In this book, Jacques Ranci ere explores how political relations develop fundamentally from sensual experience, as individual feelings become the concern of the whole community. Since politics emerges then from the 'division of the sensual', aesthetic experience becomes a radical means for social and political upheaval--
"Sustainability is a pressing concern for people and governments around the world, but it is also an essentially contested concept that requires an understanding of the stakes, trade-offs, and complex politics at play. Sustainability: The Basics offers an accessible and interdisciplinary introduction to the concept, and discusses key questions such as: What are the core principles of sustainability? What are the key ethical considerations for questions of sustainability? How do we measure sustainability? What are the critical obstacles to achieving global sustainability? What happens when societies fail to observe principles of sustainability? Fully updated in its second edition, Sustainability: The Basics now includes coverage of the Sustainable Development Goals, a global range of case studies and explores the complex social dynamics of Earth system changes that affect our critical life supports. The second edition also proposes a new, "sustainable humanism" that animates much of our work to make a better, more humane world. As the world reels from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, this book is an ideal starting point for anyone who wants to know more about what we need to do to sustain civilization, humanity, and the world we live in"--
