Descriere completă

This book is a translation and celebration of Slovenian politician France Bucar's seminal work. Divided into two parts, the book first presents the English translation of At the New Crossroads . At the New Crossroads addresses the role of ethics in society, where Bucar normatively redefines national identity as the crux of his novel understanding of ethics. Using system theory, he addresses the problems of globalization and governance, presenting a post-modern synthesis of the logic of free flow of capital and global citizenship, with national and cultural identity. Speaking to contemporary society, he shows how society and ethical life are reproduced. Bucar provides the reader with new tools to think about national identity and global politics. The translation is accompanied by several studies of Bucar's arguments. As Bucar applied his system theory to a variety of issues, so too the conglomerate of scholars and issues critically assessed is interdisciplinary, ranging from political science and economics, to law and philosophy, as well as to natural sciences. The contributors and the questions of their essays in the edited volume are as follows. Peter Verovsek (University of Sheffield) uncovers the Weberian roots of Bucar philosophy. Urska Velikonja (Georgetown University) deals with the question of the ethics, rules, and regulations in financial economics. Matej Drev (Georgia Institute of Technology) tackles the issue of equality. Jure Leskovec (Stanford University) presents implications of Bucar's system theory for natural science and computer science. Peter Rozic (Santa Clara University) analyses Bucar's understanding of ethics. Bogomil Ferfila (University of Ljubljana) presents a study of Bucar's system theory. Bringing an important work on ethics, government, and identity to an entirely new readership, this book will appeal to a broad academic audience, namely students and practitioners in the fields of economics, social sciences, and humanities.
