Starting with dominant theories that have seen these developments as indicative of a rise in 'penal populism' or 'popular authoritarianism', personalizing the state revisits one of the central paradoxes of our times: the illiberal turn that liberal democracy has takenthis book goes to where much of the commentary has stopped short: to the lived experiences of citizens who inhabit some of britain's most stigmatized urban neighborhoods, namely its council estates that were once built to house the working classesthese popular forms of engagement reflect, in turn, a longer history of state control exercised against working-class peopleliberal democracy appears in crisisfrom the rise of 'law and order' and ever tougher forms of means-testing under 'austerity politics' to the outcome of britain's referendum on leaving the eu, commentators have rushed to explain the current conjuncturesee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop leeds 274ppabove all, the book exposes the state's disavowal of its political and moral responsibilities at a time when mechanisms for collectivizing redistributive demands have been silencedotherwise clean textdrawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, it moves the question from 'why' liberal democracy has taken a punitive turn to the 'how' and the 'what': to how citizens experience democracy in the first place and what grassroots understandings of politics and care they bring to their encounters with the stateit reveals the murky, sometimes contradictory desires for a personalized state that cannot easily be collapsed with popular support for authoritarian interventionsa little stain on a few pages, a little tear at the back of djpersonalizing the state challenges dominant narratives of exceptionalism that have portrayed the people as a threat to the democratic order

Oxfam bookshop tunbridge wells on being in the world: wittgeinstein and heidegger on seeing aspects by stephen mulhall this study aims to cast new light on a neglected but important area of wittgenstein's philosophy, and to reveal its pertinence to the central concerns of contemporary analytic philosophyby setting seeing aspects within this interpretative framework, the author seeks to demonstrate parallels between wittgenstein's interest, and concerns at the heart of heidegger's "being and time"its starting point is the belief that wittgenstein's seemingly unsystematic remarks on seeing aspects of pictures and words, are in fact focused on a phenomenon which he labels "continuous aspect perception"this focus not only confers unity upon his treatment of the topic, but also connects that treatment with fundamental questions in the philosophy of psychology (taking issue with davidsonian approaches to these matters, for example)see oxfam website for delivery information read moreit highlights what is distinctively "human" about human behaviour in relation to things in the world, and elements which distinguish human practical activity from that of automatain very good condition, with clean pages and a cover only faintly marked at the backthis work strives to show that wittgenstein's investigation of aspect perception is designed to illuminate much more than a bizarre type of visual experience
