Full Description
This timely book posits that the concept of 'the Good' can be reconceived without returning to the metaphysical teleologies of the past. Mark Olssen rehabilitates the Good in a modern context, grounding it in ecological, social, political and educational infrastructures that sustain agency, meaning and freedom today.
Drawing on philosophical, economic and public choice theory, the book explores the Good in democracy, ethics, education, the provision of water and technological change. Olssen demonstrates that the post-teleological Good consists of the shared, enabling conditions that allow human and planetary systems to flourish within complexity, not through a single way of life or relativism. Ultimately, he argues that the concept of the Good must be reimagined for governing in a global age marked by interdependence, technological acceleration and planetary fragility.
With insights into the various historical conceptions of the Good and how it must be adapted for the modern world, The Return of the Good in the Age of AI is a valuable resource for scholars and students of politics and public policy, sociology and politics, philosophy and economics.
