Giovanni Gentile and the State of Contemporary Constructivism
￥147.05
This book presents Giovanni Gentile's actual idealism as a radical constructivist doctrine for use in moral theory. The first half describes the moral theory that Gentile explicitly identifies with actual idealism, according to which all thinking, rather than an exclusive domain of 'practical reason', has a moral character. It is argued that after Gentile's turn to Fascism in the early 1920s, this theory is increasingly conflated with his political doctrine. This entails several major changes that cannot be squared with the underlying metaphysics. The second half of the book develops a more plausible account of Gentilean moral constructivism based on the pre-Fascist idea of reasoning as an internal dialogue. Comparisons and contrasts are drawn with contemporary constructivist doctrines, as well as theories employing dialogical conceptions of reason. The internal dialogue is presented as a device enabling the thinking subject to make objective judgments about real-world problems despite the impossibility of her occupying a fully objective standpoint. Thus actual idealist moral theory is offered as an example of constructivism at its most radical, inviting advocates of less radical varieties to reassess the foundations on which their theories are built.

Beyond the Subjectivity Trap
￥107.81
Beyond the Subjectivity Trap challenges the paradigm of the hard problem of consciousness by contesting the relevance and primacy of human thought.

Multiplication Tables and Flashcards
￥9.71
Despite living in the age of calculators, smartphones and computers, it is still important for children to learn basic mental arithmetic. Teachers across the world still stress the importance of learning multiplication tables (sometimes called times tables).This eBook has three sections. The first contains a simple number grid for reference. The second contains each multiplication table between two and twelve - children will learn these by reading and repeating them. The third section contains 'flashcards' - each page asks a multiplication question between 1 x 1 and 12 x 12; turn over the page to reveal the answer. Note that in the flashcard section, this is split further into easy (between one and four), medium (five to eight) and hard (nine to twelve) - meaning that children do not have to have learned all their tables before taking the fun test.Containing everything a parent or teacher will need to get their children learning the most important mental arithmetic, this book is essential for your child's development.
Balancing Act
￥63.67
This is a careful examination of the historical formation of Britain and of key moments in its relations with the European powers. The author looks at the governing discourses of politicians, the mass media, and the British people. The rhetoric of sovereignty among political elites and the population at large is found to conceive of Britain's engagement with Europe as a zero-sum game. A second theme is the power of geographical images - island Britain - in feeding the idea of the British nation as by nature separate and autonomous. It follows that the EU is seen as 'other' and involvement in European decision-making tends to be viewed in terms of threat. This is naive, as nation- states are not autonomous, economically, militarily or politically. Only pooling sovereignty can maximize their national interests. Atsuko Ichijo is Senior Researcher in European Studies at Kingston University.
