Isbn: 9781946511669 - uncertainty (boston review / forum) (32 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Nearly two years into a global pandemic, uncertainty has profoundly unsettled both our personal and political lives. Some of its sources are epistemic: How long will vaccine immunity last? Do rising prices threaten economic recovery? Others are sharply existential: How will I pay rent next month? Will I see my loved one again? At no other moment in the twenty-first century has there been such widespread unease about what the future holds.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A wide-raging exploration of the place of uncertainty in our emotional and political lives.From climate change to the pandemic, uncertainty looms large over our public and personal lives. It is also the core feature of democratic life- while democratic governance seemingly heightens individual power, it exposes our life chances to the uncertain activity of others. We do not exercise control over those to whom we appeal, and yet we are constantly dependent on their actions for the goods in life we seek.Sheila Jasanoff opens a forum on uncertainty and democracy in this volume, arguing that ideas around our autonomy, our freedom, and our individual agency, particularly in the US, obscure our dependence on others in so many ways. To recognize this political emotion is to start to see the transformative potential in uncertainty.The debate that follows explores the ideas about uncertainty and experts in a democracy, as well its scientific, philosophic, and emotional aspects. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
