Description

Explore the complex relationship between human existence and material value in Pricing Lives: The Political Art of Measurement. Published by Oxford University Press, this work by Ariel Colonomos examines how the act of measurement sits at the center of political life. Drawing on foundational ideas from thinkers like Plato, Hobbes, and Weber, the book investigates the ethical and political implications of equating lives with material metrics. Colonomos introduces a unique concept of a double equation: the way societies pay for lives and the way they pay with lives. This measurement is not just a mathematical exercise but a fundamental component that determines the political equilibrium of a society. For students, academics, and readers interested in political philosophy and social sciences, this book provides a deep look into how human interests and lives are quantified within modern political structures.
