This volume discusses the philosophical, social, and political notions of biopolitics, as well as the ways in which biopower affects our lives, including the relationships between the human and nonhuman, the concept of political subjectivity, and the connection between art, science, philosophy, and politics.

This book presents the central issues provoked by the radical contextualist position according to which there is an insurmountable gap between meaning and saying. The essays in this volume set these debates in a wider context, and present the fundamental motivations and implications of radical contextualism.

Domination consists in subjection to the will of others and manifests itself both as a personal relation and a structural phenomenon serving as the context for relations of power. Domination has again become a central political concern through the revival of the republican tradition of political thought (not to be confused with the US political party). However, normative debates about domination have mostly remained limited to the context of domestic politics. Also, the republican debate has not taken into account alternative ways of conceptualizing domination. Critical theorists, liberals, feminists, critical race theorists, and postcolonial writers have discussed domination in different ways, focusing on such problems as imperialism, racism, and the subjection of indigenous peoples. This volume extends debates about domination to the global level and considers how other streams in political theory and nearby disciplines enrich, expand upon, and critique the republican tradition''s contributions to the debate. This volume brings together, for the first time, mostly original pieces on domination and global political justice by some of this generation''s most prominent scholars, including Philip Pettit, James Bohman, Rainer Forst, Amy Allen, John McCormick, Thomas McCarthy, Charles Mills, Duncan Ivison, John Maynor, Terry Macdonald, Stefan Gosepath, and Hauke Brunkhorst.

Although scholarship in philosophy of action has grown in recent years, there has been little work explicitly dealing with the role of time in agency, a role with great significance for the study of action. As the articles in this collection demonstrate, virtually every fundamental issue in the philosophy of action involves considerations of time. The four sections of this volume address the metaphysics of action, diachronic practical rationality, the relation between deliberation and action, and the phenomenology of agency, providing an overview of the central developments in each area with an emphasis on the role of temporality. Including contributions by established, rising, and new voices in the field,　Time and the Philosophy of Action　brings analytic work in philosophy of action together with contributions from continental philosophy and cognitive science to elaborate the central thesis that agency not only develops in time but is shaped by it at every level.

The issues explored in this book concern the act and object of judgment. What kind of act is judgment? How is it related to a range of other mental acts, states, and dispositions? How many objects are there of a given judgment? These and related questions are approached from a variety of historical and contemporary perspectives.

This collection brings together contributions from a diverse group of philosophers who explore a broad but thematically unified set of questions on the role of naturalism in the philosophy of the social sciences.

This book explores important questions at the intersection of the debates about relational autonomy and equality. They develop possible conceptual links by considering the role of values¿such as agency, non-domination, and self-respect¿to which both relational autonomy theorists and relational egalitarians are committed.
