The Business of Life and Death Volume 2: Politics, Law, and Society

Bag om The Business of Life and Death Volume 2: Politics, Law, and Society

As Descartes did for epistemology and Lévinas did for ethics, Baruchello places social and political philosophy as the new 'first philosophy'. His research in the intersecting fields of economics, power politics, knowledge, and reality, presented here and in The Business of Life and Death Volume 1: Values and Economies, continues the work of John McMurtry, and fills in the unacknowledged missing pieces in the work of Martha Nussbaum, Hans Jonas, and Arthur Fridolin Utz, among others. He lays bare the frightening reality of how capital has controlled our understanding of knowledge, ethics, and meaning, to the detriment of the life-flourishing of peoples and environments. Yet his argument remains optimistic: he shows how the power of capital can be escaped, and how the life-ground of human goodness can replace it.
