Vad är rättvisa? Vad ger staten legitimitet? Vilka är källorna till välstånd?

Liberaler har länge brottats med dessa eviga frågor. I Ny liberalism introduceras åtta samtida tänkare, som har varit betydelsefulla för utvecklingen av liberal filosofi och ideologi under de senaste årtiondena.

De politiska filosoferna John Tomasi, David Schmidtz, Jan Narveson, Michael Huemer och Chandran Kukathas ekonomhistorikern Deirdre McCloskey, ekonomen Kenneth Binmore och socialpsykologen Jonathan Haidt presenteras av sakkunniga svenska författare i var sitt kapitel i denna antologi som sammanställts av Patrick Krassén. De flesta av tänkarna har aldrig tidigare presenterats på svenska.

Ny liberalism vänder sig till alla med intresse för politisk filosofi. Den kan läsas både av den som har enbart grundläggande kunskaper och den som har ägnat många år åt fördjupning i liberalismens ideologiska grundvalar. Sedan den första utgåvan 2018 har två nya kapitel lagts till.

Antologin innehåller texter av: Jesper Ahlin Marceta, Fritz-Anton Fritzson, Alexander Funke, Ebba Karlsson, Patrick Krassén, Niklas Elert, Andreas Bergh och Mattias Svensson

Sagt om boken

Den liberala idétraditionen har alltid varit i rörelse, för att kunna vara relevant för nya tider. I Ny liberalism får vi goda introduktioner till sex tänkare som har stått för några av de viktigaste bidragen till vidareutvecklingen av liberal teori under de senaste årtiondena. -Lars Fr. H. Svendsen, professor i praktisk filosofi vid Universitetet i Bergen

Försvaret av ett fritt samhälle måste vara ett intellektuellt äventyr, menade Hayek. Det har det inte varit på ett tag. Därför är denna volym, och tänkarna som presenteras i den, så angelägen. Här är det fria samhället återigen ett intellektuellt äventyr som kittlar tanken och fantasin. -Johan Norberg, författare och idéhistoriker

Varför lyda lagen? Hur långt sträcker sig mina solidariska förpliktelser? Är ingenting heligt? I en tid när 'liberal' alltmer blivit en identitet är det befriande att lyfta blicken mot de eviga liberala spörsmålen, som vi här får aptitretande ingångar till via sentida liberala tänkare som hittills varit okända för en svensk publik. -Gina Gustavsson, docent i statsvetenskap vid Uppsala universitet och fristående kolumnist i Dagens Nyheter. Om redaktören

PATRICK KRASSÉN är jur. kand. och fil. kand. i statsvetenskap från Stockholms universitet. Han har bland annat varit redaktör för tidskriften Liberal Debatt, ledarskribent i Svenska Dagbladet och redaktör och medförfattare till boken Den nödvändiga vinsten (Timbro 2014).

I början av 1800-talet försämrades livsvillkoren hastigt för den växande befolkningen i Göteborg. Detta var en följd av storpolitiska skeenden i Europa. För många ensamstående och familjer stod nöden för dörren. Fattigdomen medförde svält och usla boendeförhållanden, sjukdomar och barnadödlighet blev vanliga, tiggeriet bredde ut sig. Det var genom enskilda insatser och frivilliga gåvor och donationer som hjälp stod att få och år 1819 bildades Sällskapet De Fattiges Vänner. Detta sällskap är idag en stiftelse som verkar som en betydelsefull hjälporganisation. samtidigt som dess historia tecknas får läsaren av denna bok en konkret bild av samhälleliga förändringar och skiftande livsbetingelser under tvåhundra år.

Porträtteringen av brott, gärningspersoner, brottsoffer, rättsväsendet och effekter av brottslighet tar i dag ett oproportionerligt stort utrymme i media samt i vår kultur och vardag. Kriminologistudenter kan av den anledningen behöva en ”omprogrammering” när det gäller föreställningar om vad som är verkligt, eller mätbart. En kriminolog arbetar med vetenskap, inte journalistik eller fiktion. Att lära sig det är ett tålamodsprövande arbete, det kräver kunskaper om teori och metod, om kriminalpolitik, etik och vetenskaplig noggrannhet.Kriminologi – en studiehandbok introducerar läsaren till studier i kriminologi. Boken beskriver ämnet och vad studier i kriminologi innebär. Syftet med boken är att beskriva steget in i den akademiska världen och att ge läsaren verktyg som underlättar studier i kriminologi – alltifrån vad som förväntas under ett seminarium till var du hittar och refererar till kriminologiska källor samt forskningsetik, makt och demokratifrågor kopplade till ämnet.I denna andra upplaga har tre nya kapitel och författare tillkommit. Fyra av de lärosäten i Sverige som undervisar och forskar i kriminologi är representerade. Kriminologi – en studiehandbok riktar sig till både studenter och lärare inom kriminologi.

Barbro Nilsson var en av Sveriges främsta textilkonstnärer (1899-1983), född i Malmö och dotter till den kända trädgårdsarkitekten Emma Lundberg. Färgerna i hennes bildvävar och mattor var lysande – ofta i oväntade kombinationer, men samtidigt harmoniska. Barbro Nilsson förnyade den svenska mattkonsten med gobelängtekniken och skapade klassiska mattor som Snäckorna och Tånga. I boken lyfts hennes starka färg- och formkänsla fram men även hennes spännande liv och alla samarbeten under hennes verksamma år med bland annat maken skulptören Robert Nilsson och arkitekten Sigurd Lewerentz. Dessutom skildras hur Barbro inspirerar dagens textilkonstnärer. Boken är rikt illustrerad.Liselotte Fritz är journalist och har arbetat på Dagens Nyheter och Helsingborgs Dagblad. Som frilansjournalist har hon fokuserat på trädgård och konsthantverk. Genom sin egen tidskrift Kullaliv har hon belönats med Publishingpriset tre gånger. 2022 utkom hennes kritikerrosade bok Ulla Molin: Konsten att skapa den tidlösa trädgården. Under flera års tid har hon studerat Barbro Nilssons efterlämnade dokument, brev, skisser, textila verk och intervjuat personer som känt och arbetat med henne.

Boken Återblickar av professor Lennart Karlsson har tillkommit efter önskemål från många läsare av hans tidigare bok Dokotela. I den boken skildrar Lennart Karlsson sitt liv som läkare under en lång, dramatisk och omvälvande tid i Sydafrika. I Återblickar får du nu veta mer om liv, kultur, språk och religion i Sydafrika, utifrån Lennarts perspektiv. - Hur växte egentligen de olika folkslagen i Sydafrika fram? - Vilka olika kyrkor finns det och var kommer de ifrån? - Hur växte apartheid fram och hur motiverade makthavarna det systemet? - Vilket inflytande har det kristna missionsarbetet haft? - Hur har kampen mot den stora farsoten – hiv/aids – gått? Boken fortsätter med att Lennarts hustru Linnéa berättar om sin väg till Sydafrika och om sitt liv där som missionärsbarn, läkarfru och mamma. Lennart har under sina många år i landet haft många medarbetare. Här får tolv av dem, de flesta svenskar, chansen att själva berätta om sina erfarenheter från sina år i Sydafrika. De var verksamma på sjukhuset Themba i Sydafrika och i klinikarbete i Swaziland. Välkommen att lära dig mer om ett land som ligger geografiskt långt borta – men som för många vänner av kristen mission samtidigt ligger mycket nära, i hjärta och sinne.

Does subjectivism in value theory – the view that value is grounded on attitudes – imply that when we think and talk about what is good and bad we must necessarily be thinking and talking about our desires and other attitudes? • Does value subjectivism entail that evaluative utterances are reports or expressions of the speaker’s attitude? • Are subjectivists committed to an axiology according to which only preference satisfaction is valuable for its own sake? • Are subjectivists disqualified from talking about intrinsic value? • Is it a consequence of subjectivism that if we had different attitudes than those that we in fact have different things would be valuable? • Is subjectivism a view on which things can be good or bad only by being good or bad for particular people? • Are subjectivists committed to objectionable forms of relativism or egoism? • Is every form of idealization of attitudes in tension with the spirit of subjectivism? • Is subjectivism a bleak view on which nothing matters? In Value Grounded on Attitudes – Subjectivism in Value Theory, Fritz- Anton Fritzson defends subjectivist views against some common objections and offers a sympathetic formulation of value subjectivism.

Montana's state constitution was created during the early 1970s. Progressive, innovative and pragmatic, it combines a strong concern for individual rights, personal liberty, and individual dignity while seeking to keep government open and responsive to the will of the people of Montana. It also stresses rights to a clean and healthful environment. The Montana State Constitution is the first reference guide to offer an in-depth analysis of the state's constitutional history. In it, Larry Elison and Fritz Snyder provide the text of the constitution, its meaning, and its legal interpretations. It is an excellent research tool for those interested in Montana's constitutional history and case law, and it includes a comprehensive bibliographic essay dealing with available primary and secondary research sources.

The frontier images of America embrace endless horizons, majestic herds of native ungulates, and romanticized life-styles of nomadie peoples. The images were mere reflections of vertebrates living in harmony in an ecosystem driven by the unpre dictable local and regional effects of drought, frre, and grazing. Those effects, often referred to as ecological "disturbanees," are rather the driving forces on which species depended to create the spatial and temporal heterogeneity that favored ecological prerequisites for survival. Alandscape viewed by European descendants as monotony interrupted only by extremes in weather and commonly referred to as the "Great American Desert," this country was to be rushed through and cursed, a barrier that hindered access to the deep soils of the Oregon country, the rich minerals of California and Colorado, and the religious freedom sought in Utah. Those who stayed (for lack of resources or stamina) spent a century trying to moderate the ecological dynamics of Great Plains prairies by suppressing fires, planting trees and exotic grasses, poisoning rodents, diverting waters, and homogenizing the dynamies of grazing with endless fences-all creating bound an otherwise boundless vista. aries in Historically, travelers and settlers referred to the area of tallgrasses along the western edge of the deciduous forest and extending midway across Kansas as the "True Prairie. " The grasses thlnned and became shorter to the west, an area known then as the Great Plains.

Examine group work's roots and fundamental beliefs to get a glimpse of the future For more than 80 years, social group work has survived difficult timesa testament to the persistence of its practitioners as well as the strength of its methods. Growth and Development Through Group Work chronicles the evolution of this groundbreaking practice through a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the 23rd Annual International Symposium on Social Work with Groups. The book examines practice, policy, and education issues in specific settings and populations from both theoretical and historical perspectives. Presented in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, DC, the papers that comprise Growth and Development Through Group Work reflect a heightened awareness of the importance of social action group worknow, and in the future. The book represents the best of social work’s tradition of social reform and concern for oppressed people, never straying far from the concept of the group, with its multiple helping relationships, as the primary source of change. A comprehensive overview of the field in international, intercultural, and cross-gender contexts, Growth and Development Through Group Work is equally effective for coursework or independent reading. Topics addressed in Growth and Development Through Group Work include: contributions of the late Ruby B. Pernell to the development of social group work research in support of group work education and practice group work in Germany-its development from American roots and its current advances social justice as a major objective of group work practice teaching group work mutual aid in support groups for particularly sensitive health problems psychoeducational group work contributions from Hull House as guides for the future of social group workGrowth and Development Through Group Work is an invaluable resource for clinicians, neighborhood and community activists, educators and students, researchers, therapists, administrators, and anyone working in policy and/or program development.

`A well-researched, clearly written book... Petruska Clarkson and JenniferMackewn did a splendid job organizing the theoretical material... Their judicious use of graphics enhances their discussions... The chapter on Perls' contributions to practice is nicely peppered by samples of his actual therapy work and this is true for other chapters. This, I imagine, is how Fritz would have liked it: to let his work speak for itself... Petruska Clarkson and Jennifer Mackewn have carefully crafted and produced a powerfully informative book. Its pages are crammed with up-to-date facts and issues relating to Perls... The work is lean, not one word is wasted. Congratulations!' - British Gestalt Journal

Fritz Perls was the co-founder of Gestalt Therapy, which is based on a holistic view of people and their relationship to the environment, and which remains one of the most influential approaches in counselling and psychotherapy today. This book provides a clear account of the diverse life of this popular but controversial psychotherapist and discusses his ideas simply and lucidly.

The book includes examples of Perls' work, drawn from transcripts and films of his demonstration sessions. A further feature is a full acknowledgement of the criticisms and appreciations which Perls' life and work have attracted and an honest evaluation of whether and to what extent they are justified.

Plants from the Past is a fascinating, comprehensive record of the work of two dedicated plant scientists who were instrumental in the establishment of archaeobotany and paleoethnobotany as vigorous subdisciplines within American archaeology. Hugh Carson Cutler and Leonard Watson Blake worked together for many decades at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, identifying and interpreting plant remains from archaeological sites all over North America. Covering a period of 30 years and tracing the development of the study of plant remains from archaeological sites, the volume will give archaeologists access to previously unavailable data and interpretations. It features the muchsought-after extensive inventory ""Plants from Archaeological Sites East of the Rockies,"" which serves as a reference to archaeobotanical collections curated at the Illinois State Museum. The chapters dealing with protohistory and early historic foodways and trade in the upper Midwest are especially relevant at this time of increasing attention to early Indian-white interactions. The editors' introduction provides coherence and historical context for the papers and points to the book's potential as a resource for future research. Graced by Dr. Blake's brief introductions to each chapter, Plants from the Past neatly compiles the earliest research in archaeobotany by two originators of the science.
