Download or read book Career Development written by Fred W. Vondracek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book places career development into the mainstream of human development research and theory. The result is a powerful synthesis of vocational psychology and the most recent advances in lifespan developmental psychology, thus offering a developmental-contextual framework for guiding theory and research in career development. Its chapters demonstrate the utility of this framework for the study of women's career development, health and careers, career intervention, and the selection and application of appropriate research methodologies. Scholars as well as intervention specialists should find this volume to be of great value. The adaption of this developmental-contextual framework for career development theory, research, and intervention may represent an important future for vocational psychology and the study of career development.

Download or read book thique et politique chez Hans Jonas written by Cyrille Semde and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Est-il vrai que la préoccupation pour l'environnement ne s'accommode pas avec toute forme d'organisation démocratique du pouvoir politique ? Dans son livre intitulé Pour une éthique du futur, Hans Jonas avoue que la « tyrannie serait toujours préférable au désastre », et qu'il approuve moralement une telle option « pour le cas où ce genre d'alternative se présenterait ». Mais choisir la tyrannie face à la catastrophe, n'est-ce pas opter pour une catastrophe contre une autre ? Instituer des régimes forts au nom de l'urgence écologique ne contrasterait-il pas avec les revendications quotidiennes en faveur de l'implantation de gouvernements démocratiques véritables ?

This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Des discours s'accordent à dire qu'il y a une crise environnementale. Mais la lecture scientifique rend-elle totalement compte de la crise environnementale ? Les mécanismes de sa résolution préconisés, dans une perspective technoscientifique et dans une dynamique démocratique à l'échelle planétaire, sont-ils des remèdes efficaces à la hauteur de l'urgence écologique ? Quels autres savoirs sont-ils mobilisés pour sortir de cette crise ? Dans un tel contexte, le culte de la croissance est-il encore raisonnable ? Doit-on toujours nourrir l'ambition de faire de l'homme le « maître et possesseur de la nature » ? Cet ouvrage tente de répondre principalement à ces questions par le truchement de l'écosophie T, philosophie de l'environnement, qui propose une réflexion globale et radicale sur la crise environnementale.

Download or read book Narratives of Fear and Safety written by Kaisa Kaukiainen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this edited volume, written in English and French, tackle the intriguing problems of fear and safety by analysing their various meanings and manifestations in literature and other narrative media. The articles bring forth new, cross-cultural interpretations on fear and safety through examining what kinds of genre-specific means of world-making narratives use to express these two affectivities. The articles also show how important it is to study these themes in order to understand challenges in times of global threats, such as the climate crisis, and - to imagine a better future. The main themes of the book are approached from various theoretical perspectives as related to their literary and cultural representations. Recent trends in research, such as affect and risk theory, serve as the basis for the discussion. Many of the articles in the volume discuss apocalyptic and dystopian narratives that currently permeate the entire cultural landscape. Dystopian narratives do not only deal with future threats, such as totalitarianism, technocracy, or environmental disasters, but also suggest alternative ways of being and new hopes in the form of political resistance. The articles in the volume also draw from disciplines such as gender studies and trauma studies to examine the threats posed by collective fears and aggression on individuals' lives and propose ways of coping with fear. These themes are addressed also in articles analysing new adaptations of old myths that retell stories of the past.

Download or read book Conceptual Basis Formalisations and Parameterization of the Stics Crop Model written by Nadine Brisson and published by Editions Quae. This book was released on 2009-01-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The STICS crop model has been developed since 1996 at INRA in collaboration with other research and technical institutes. The model syntheses, illustrates and concretizes an important part of the French agronomic knowledge as a point of view on the field and cropping systems working. The formalisations of the STICS crop model presented in this book can be considered as references used in the framework of crop sciences. The book arrangement relies on the way the model designs the crop-soil system functioning, each chapter being devoted to a set of important functions such as growth initiation, yield onset, water uptake, transformation of organic matter etc. One chapter deals with the cropping system and long term simulations and the final chapter is about the involvement of the user in terms of option choices and parameterization. If this book is mainly intended for scientists who use the STICS model, it can also be useful for agronomists, crop modellers, students and technicians looking for elementary formalizations of the crop-soil system functioning.

This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les principaux signes de la crise écologique se trouvent dans la pollution sous toutes ses formes : destruction des milieux naturels, épuisement des ressources, pillage de la planète, disparition des espèces, perturbations climatiques ou encore risques liés aux manipulations génétiques.

Cet ouvrage présente quelques grands représentants de l'écologie philosophique : Michel Serres, Hans Jonas et Edgar Morin. Connaître leur pensée, c'est faire face aux questions écologiques de notre temps : Serres propose la signature d'un contrat naturel entre l'homme et la nature. Pour Jonas, la solution se trouve dans l'éthique de la responsabilité de l'homme envers la nature et les générations futures. Edgar Morin promeut pour sa part une éthique planétaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious book, Girard employs the latest tools of the historian's craft, multi-archival research in particular, and applies them to the climactic yet poorly understood last years of the Haitian Revolution. Haiti lost most of its archives to neglect and theft, but a substantial number of documents survive in French, U.S., British, and Spanish collections, both public and private. In all, this book relies on contemporary military, commercial, and administrative sources drawn from nineteen archives and research libraries on both sides of the Atlantic.

This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etude Scientifique de l’année 2021 dans le domaine Philosophie - Pratique (Ethique, Esthétique, Culture, Nature, Droit, ...), Université de Lomé (anc. Université du Bénin) (Pepartement de Philosophie), cours: Philosophie, langue: Français, résumé: Le présent article a pour ambition de mettre en exergue le statut de la responsabilité dans le débat écologique contemporain en partant de l’éthique jonassienne de la responsabilité. Il rappelle précisément que la responsabilité, dans le débat écologique contemporain, renvoie essentiellement à la définition des stratégies d’endiguement de la crise écologique, constituant ainsi une antithèse au principe espérance qui est le principe générateur de l’utopie technoscientifique. Justement parce que c’est de la peur de la dégradation irréversible de la biosphère qu’incorpore l’utopie technoscientifique que découle la responsabilité qui s’exprime en stratégie d’endiguement de la crise écologique dans le présent et l’actuel.

Download or read book Phenomenology and Intercultural Understanding written by Kwok-Ying Lau and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches the topic of intercultural understanding in philosophy from a phenomenological perspective. It provides a bridge between Western and Eastern philosophy through in-depth discussion of concepts and doctrines of phenomenology and ancient and contemporary Chinese philosophy. Phenomenological readings of Daoist and Buddhist philosophies are provided: the reader will find a study of theoretical and methodological issues and innovative readings of traditional Chinese and Indian philosophies from the phenomenological perspective. The author uses a descriptive rigor to avoid cultural prejudices and provides a non-Eurocentric conception and practice of philosophy. Through this East-West comparative study, a compelling criticism of a Eurocentric conception of philosophy emerges. New concepts and methods in intercultural philosophy are proposed through these chapters. Researchers, teachers, post-graduates and students of philosophy will all find this work intriguing, and those with an interest in non-Western philosophy or phenomenology will find it particularly engaging.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 39 of FLS French Literature Series features ten articles on the topic of the environment in French and Francophone Literature and Film. Contributors engage with the work of such authors, filmakers and cartoonists as Michel Serres, Luc Ferry, Patrice Nganang, Marie Darrieussecq, Yann-Arthus Bertrand and Plantu, and such topics as human zoos, eco-colonialism, queer theory, and the environmental catastrophes of WWI and, globally, of human civilization as recorded in the recent eco-documentary, HOME. Wide-ranging, provocative and topical these articles both broaden and deepen the efficacy of ecocriticism as a tool for enriching our understanding of the field beyond the English and American “nature writing” at the theory’s core.

Download or read book Penser les fondements philosophiques de la conversion cologique written by Isabelle Priaulet and published by Labor et Fides. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre entend poser les fondements philosophiques d’une « conversion écologique » en éclairant la dimension ontologique de la crise écologique. En s’appuyant sur des auteurs tels que Heidegger, Hans Jonas, Günther Anders et Jacques Ellul, l’auteure montre, dans un premier temps, la nécessité d’une conversion face au péril métaphysique que représente la Technique comme dévoiement de notre « être-au-monde ». La seconde partie consiste à poser les fondements philosophiques et religieux du concept de conversion. De la metanoia platonicienne aux thérapies de l’âme stoïciennes et épicuriennes, l’auteur explore la place de la connaissance de la physis dans le « retour à Soi » afin de faire émerger la possibilité et les modalités d’une « conversion écologique ». La dernière partie, plus spécifiquement consacrée à l’écologie, utilise les modalités de la conversion écologique esquissées avec les sagesses grecques et chrétiennes pour penser un changement de notre affect du monde et défendre l’hypothèse d’une « empathie universelle » en affinité avec la philosophie merleau-pontienne de la « chair du monde ». À travers deux grands courants de l’écologie que sont l’écologie profonde et la wilderness, l’auteure jette les bases d’une ontologie relationnelle jusqu’à penser, contre toute tentation catastrophiste, une « échologie de la Joie », une spiritualité de la résonance, en dialogue avec les traditions asiatiques
