This book draws from his vast output of articles, chapters and books to provide a thematic yet integrated account of his boundary-crossing innovations in political theory and masterly contributions to our understanding of methods in the social sciencesviolencewhile violence is surely not a theme foreign to political studies, no one has done more or better work in contemporary political theory to bring violence into play as a central term of political thought and to expand our understanding of violencethe editors have focused on work in three key areas:discourseshapiro was one of the first theorists to demonstrate convincingly, and in a manner that has had a long-standing impact on the field, that language is not epiphenomenal to politicsand it explains why both political theorists interested in international relations and international relations scholars concerned with a broader understanding of international politics must both start with shapiro's work as required readingsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreculturegabriel almond and sidney verb's () famous work on 'the civic culture'established a long-held but ultimately counterproductive relationship between culture and politics, one in which culture is an independent variable that has effects on politicsshapiro's rich and numerous writings on culture provide a powerful and important antidote to this approach, as shapiro consistently shows (across wide-ranging contexts) that politics is in culture and culture is in politics, and no politically salient approach to culture can afford to turn either term into a causal variableshapiro's writings have been innovatory with respect to the phenomena he has taken to be political, and the concomitant array of methods that he has brilliantly masteredsamuel huntington's () (in)famous polemic, 'the clash of civilizations', only pushes this relationship to its breaking pointby reconceptualizing and reinterpreting this term, shapiro's work has helped us to rethink the very boundaries between political theory and international relations as putatively separate subfields of political sciencefrom his frequently-cited article on metaphor from the early s to recent work on discourse and globalization, shapiro has shown that politics happens not only with and through the use of language, but within discourse as a material practiceindeed, he shows that language is constitutive of politicsoxfam bookshop wallingford michael j

Oxfam bookshop preston what does reality encompass? is reality exclusively physical? or does reality include nonphysical -mental, and perhaps 'abstract' -aspects? what is it to be physical or mental, or to be an abstract entity? what are the elements of being, reality's raw materials? how is the manifest image we inherit from our culture and refine in the special sciences related to the scientific image as we have it in fundamental physics? can physics be understood as providing a 'theory of everything', or do the various sciences make up a hierarchy corresponding to autonomous levels of reality? is our conscious human perspective on the universe in the universe or at its limits? what, if anything, makes ordinary truths, truths of the special sciences, and truths of mathematics true? and what is it for an assertion or judgment to be 'made true'? in the universe as we find it, john heil offers answers to these questions framed in terms of a comprehensive ontology of substances and properties inspired by descartes, locke, their successors, and their latter day exemplarssubstances are simple, lacking parts that are themselves substancessee oxfam website for delivery information read moreheil argues that the deep story about the nature of these truthmakers can only be told by fundamental physicsproperties are modes -particular ways particular substances are -and arrangements of propertied substances serve as truthmakers for all the truths that have truthmakers
