Abstract:

The critical theory tradition has, since its inception, sought to distinguish its perspective on society from more purely descriptive or normative approaches by maintaining that persons have a deep-seated interest in the free development of their personality—an interest that can only be realized in and through the rational organization of society, but which is systematically stymied by existing society. Yet it has struggled to specify this emancipatory interest in a way that avoids being either excessively utopian or overly accommodating to existing society. Despite the fact that Hegel’s conce

Abstract:

Sacred music has long contributed fundamentally to the making of Europe. The passage from origin myths to history, the sacred journeys that have mobilized pilgrims, crusaders, and colonizers, the politics and power sounded by the vox populi—all have joined in counterpoint to shape Europe’s historical longue durée. Drawing upon three decades of research in European sacred music, Philip V. Bohlman calls for a reexamination of European modernity in the twenty-first century, a modernity shaped no less by canonic religious and musical practices than by the proliferation of belief systems that today

Abstract:

How does reconciliation make a beginning when conditions seem to suggest its impossibility, such as during the 1980s in apartheid South Africa? To answer this, I focus on leadership, arguing that opportunities must be seized in order to be realized. This requires a fresh examination of Mandela’s leadership along with F. W. de Klerk’s. I conclude that it was not remorse or forgiveness as such but rather a growing awareness of mutual interdependence—acknowledging their duty to provide their constituencies with the best possible future, and the role that their adversary would have to play in real

This chapter deals with the healed self, contextualized as united with the natural world, moving toward its reconciliation with the third arm of the holistic model of health—the social world.

LOHAS is a capitalist endeavor but also attempts to position itself as resistant to those processes, and as such it must articulate “LOHASians” as ultimately powerful in themselves to change the course of late capitalism and consumer

Abstract:

The chapter creates the framework for a Mengzian environmental ethic by reference to respect and restraint, relying primarily on ancient Confucian texts. These qualities underpin a “tempered anthropocentrism” because a synthesis of role-based virtue and sensitivity to larger ecological forces may, when synthesized, be key to human and earth flourishing. And two competing Confucian and ecology schools might find reconciliation in a shift in focus to some of the earliest Confucian texts—particularly the Mengzi, one of the most important and influential Confucian texts next to Confucius’s Analect

Abstract:

The Musical Gift tells Sri Lanka’s music history as a story of giving between humans and nonhumans, and between populations defined by ethnic and religious difference. Author Jim Sykes argues that the genres we currently recognize as Sri Lanka’s esteemed traditional musics were not originally about ethnic or religious identity but were gifts to gods intended to foster protection and/or healing. Noting that the currently assumed link between music and identity helped produce the narratives of ethnic difference that drove Sri Lanka’s civil war (1983–2009), Sykes contends that the promotion of hi

In this crucial ethnographic chapter of The Musical Gift, the author explores the plight of Tamil musicians during the war in Sri Lanka’s north and east, the role of music after the 2004 tsunami, and the use of music by NGOs and local musicians to forge peace (with not always successful results). The chapter explores what “reconciliation” might mean, and what role music and scholarship might play in achieving it. The chapter argues that attempts to use music to forge peace tend to succeed when activists define music as a form of exchange and gift-giving between populations, rather than definin

For example, it argues against posing false binaries between domestic and international issues and against viewing violence and conflict as the same. It holds up strategic nonviolence to critical scrutiny and shows that “do no harm” approaches may in fact do harm. The chapters cov

“The new economic miracle,” “role model for Europe,” and “beacon of stability”—these and similar euphoric headlines in Germany about the nation and its economy have become almost commonplace in recent years as the country’s self-confidence has grown despite a deep European crisis. The headlines in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere around the globe, however, are startlingly different: “Germany’s austerity obsession,” “Europe’s reluctant hegemon,” “Germany benefitting at the expense of Europe.” So stark a contrast prompts several questions: What is the true state of Germany’s economy?

The analysis charts key facets of the Fund’s internal workings, including its hierarchical nature, internal review processes, and how internal interactions are evolving.

Abstract:

This book provides an account of how we might address wrongdoing given challenges to anger and retribution that arise from ethical considerations and from concerns about free will. It contends that we should dispense with basically deserved pain and harm, and with associated retributive sentiments. Without such desert, how might we understand blame? Blame can be conceived as taking on a non-retributive stance of moral protest, whose function is to secure forward-looking goals such as moral reform and reconciliation. Is it possible to justify effectively dealing with those who pose dangerous th

Abstract:

Crime stories attract audiences and social buzz, but they also serve as prisms for perceived threats. As immigration, technological change, and globalization reshape our world, anxiety spreads. Because journalism plays a role in how the public adjusts to moral and material upheaval, this unease raises the ethical stakes. Reporters can spread panic or encourage reconciliation by how they tell these stories. Murder in Our Midst uses crime coverage in select North American and Western European countries as a key to examine culturally constructed concepts like privacy, public, public right to know

Abstract:

The profession of peacemaking has been practiced by indigenous communities around the world for many centuries; however, the ethnocentric world view of the West, which dominated the world of ideas for the last five centuries, dismissed indigenous forms of peacemaking as irrelevant and backward tribal rituals. Neither did indigenous forms of peacemaking fit the conception of modernization and development of the new ruling elites who inherited the postcolonial state. The new profession of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which emerged in the West as a new profession during the 1970s, neglec

Abstract:

The resurgence of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism in the context of Chinese leadership values has emerged as a foundation for a new generation of leaders. The once-in-a-decade transition of China’s leadership witnessed the ascendency of a consensus-oriented fifth generation of leaders supporting a central authoritative figure whose priority will likely include the reconciliation of a waning communist ideology juxtaposed with its ostensible embrace of capitalism. How will Chinese Communist Party authority, ideology, and control address the encroachment of Western values that are centered on
