Overview: This book offers arguments against the view that interpersonal understanding involves a ‘folk‘ or ‘commonsense‘ psychology, a view which Ratcliffe suggests is a theoretically motivated abstraction. His alternative account draws on phenomenology, neuroscience and developmental psychology, exploring patterned interactions in shared social situations.978-0-230-22120-8978-0-230-62529-7Series ISSN 2946-2959 Series E-ISSN 2946-2967

Overview: This book presents a posthumous collection of previously uncollected works of political theory written by Whittle Johnston. Johnston believed that both the liberal tradition of political thought and the realist tradition of international thought had contributed much to humanity’s store of political wisdom, but that each had limitations that could most easily be recognized by its encounter with the other. His method of accomplishing this task was to examine the liberal conception of political life in general and international political life in particular and then to explore the realis
