Philosophical Interventions in Neoliberal Higher Education

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781666939835

In this edited collection, philosophers and critical theorists develop theoretical tools to conceptualize and evaluate the neoliberal university, working together both to interrogate how it reproduces systems of oppression and exploitation and to identify more liberatory and egalitarian alternatives.

Acting and organizing within and against neoliberalized higher education in the Western capitalist world, the international group of scholars included in this volume experience the contradictions and possibilities of the contemporary configuration of the university daily. And yet the crisis in higher education is only one aspect of a much broader social crisis in which neoliberalism and related social inequalities, rapid climate change, de-democratization, rising authoritarianism, war, and genocide interconnect. Edited by Brandon Absher, this volume critiques and intervenes in higher education in the midst of this unprecedented social and natural crisis; at once to expose its structure and inadequacies and to envision an alternative based on the principle of the commons.

What can higher education be, and how might it contribute to a more just, egalitarian, and liberated world?

Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Suicide
Can suicide be, in certain situations, morally permissible or even morally obligatory? Can it be a rational choice? What are our obligations toward suicidal individuals? How should we even define suicide? <em>The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Suicide </em>discusses these questions and expands the frontier of philosophical discourse to include heretofore neglected ethical and social aspects of suicide. <p/>Starting with a critical overview of the most important historical philosophical approaches to suicide, the chronologically ordered chapters in the first part of this volume cover both Western and non-Western philosophical traditions. The second part is dedicated to foundational issues such as the nature, morality, and rationality of suicide. The final section covers philosophical issues related to the practice of suicide, addressing topics such as the ethics of suicide prevention and intervention, new suicide technologies, suicide and mental illness, suicide and media ethics, and suicide and gender, among others. <p/>Across thirty-three chapters written by thirty-five leading scholars, this handbook provides a fresh, compelling analysis of past and contemporary trends in the philosophy of suicide.
