Metaphysics of Cooperation

<p><em>The Metaphysics of Cooperation</em> presents the intellectual achievements of the Polish associative socialist and pioneer of social sciences, Edward Abramowski.</p><p>The volume is divided into five sections, each of them containing an analysis of the Polish philosopher's work according to the issues he dealt with: sociology, ethics, politics, cooperativism, and psychology. Each part also contains a selection of his writings. The intention is to show Abramowski's works in the context of global intellectual history and bring them into conversation with current political debates.</p><p>Abramowski makes fraternity or cooperation the main concepts of his social metaphysics. The Polish version of cooperativism can be inspiring both for contemporary researchers and political activists in post-economic-crisis Europe. It also opens up a space for creating more democratic political and economic institutions.</p>
