Download or read book Taking the Floor written by Daniel Beunza and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at a Wall Street trading room and what this reveals about today’s financial system Debates about financial reform have led to the recognition that a healthy financial system doesn’t depend solely on how it is structured—organizational culture matters as well. Based on extensive research in a Wall Street derivatives-trading room, Taking the Floor considers how the culture of financial organizations might change in order for them to remain healthy, even in times of crises. In particular, Daniel Beunza explores how the extensive use of financial models and trading technologies over the recent decades has exerted a far-ranging and troubling influence on Wall Street. How have models reshaped financial markets? How have models altered moral behavior in organizations? Beunza takes readers behind the scenes in a bank unit that, within its firm, is widely perceived to be “a class act,” and he considers how this trading room unit might serve as a blueprint solution for the ills of Wall Street’s unsustainable culture. Beunza demonstrates that the integration of traders across desks reduces the danger of blind spots created by models. Warning against the risk of moral disengagement posed by the use of models, he also contends that such disengagement could be avoided by instituting moral norms and social relations. Providing a unique perspective on a complex subject, Taking the Floor profiles what an effective, responsible trading room can and should look like.

Download or read book Der Garten und die Moderne written by Gianni Paganini and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Von allen Traditionen des Altertums war es unzweifelhaft die epikureische Tradition, die gegenuber den weitverbreiteten Traditionen des Platonismus und des Aristotelismus den brisantesten Charakter aufwies. Sie erwies sich auch dem Skeptizismus und dem Stoizismus gegenuber als die profanste. Trotz zunehmender Froschung verfugen wir noch nicht uber eine vollstandige und zufriedenstellende Karte jenes grossen philosophischen und kulturellen Phanomens des modernen Epikuriesmus. Auffalligerweise hat sich die Aufmerksamkeit der Historiker auf diesem Forschungsgebiet als ausserst selektiv erwiesen: von den drei grossen Einteilungen (Logik oder Kanonik, Physik und Ethik) hat allein die Physik - vor allem die Atmomistik - Beachtung gefunden. Die Auffassungen uber Recht und Politik, mit ihren Verzweigungen im Bereich der Moral und der Anthropologie - vor allem die Konzeptionen zur historischen Entwicklung der Menschheit und der Religion - sind dagegen sehr viel weniger beleuchtet worden. Unter dem Titel Der Garten und die Moderne leisten namhafte Wissenschaftler - darunter C. Blackwell, G. Canziani, J.-C. Darmon, G. Gawlick, A. McKenna, A. Mothu, M. Mulsow, G. Paganini, J. Salem, C. Schmitz, W. Schroder, P. Springborg, S. Taussig, A. Thomson und E. Tortarolo - deutsch-, franzosisch- und englischsprachige Beitrage zu einer Schliessung dieser Forschungslucke. The return of the classical philosophers: with this formula Eugenio Garin described a special feature of our Modern Age. He pointed out, however, that this was not only about philologically restoring classical sources but about a fundamental reshaping of an intellectual possession that was again made available. Among all the traditions of classical antiquity, it certainly was the Epicurean tradition which had the most radical character compared to the widely known traditions of Platonism and Aristotelianism. None the less, there is no complete or satisfying picture of the great philosophical and cultural phenomenon of modern Epicureanism today. It is also peculiar that the historians attention has been extremely selective in this case: among the three great partitions (logic, physics and ethics), physics has largely dominated the scene. The fields of law and politics and their connection to anthropology (especially regarding the concepts of the historic development of mankind and of religion) have much less been taken into account. The essays in this book deal with different aspects of the question whether Epicureanism has played an important role for the foundation of the legal, political and moral culture of the Modern Age. They make clear that the influence of Epicureanism has been much more penetrating than one could have assumed. They also show that Epicureanism directly concerned politics, moral, law and practical experience in general, in which it produced new elaborations that were relevant to the Modern Age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owen Flanagan argues in this book for a more psychologically realistic ethical reflection and spells out the ways in which psychology can enrich moral philosophy. Beginning with a discussion of such “moral saints” as Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Oskar Schindler, Flanagan charts a middle course between an ethics that is too realistic and socially parochial and one that is too idealistic, giving no weight to our natures.

The host of the conference was the Faculty of Cultural Sciences of Universitas Haluoleo, Kendari, Indonesia in collaboration with Graduate Program of Linguistics Universitas Warmadewa, Denpasar-Bali, Indonesia. By organising the seminar, it is expected it can be used as a scientific forum to accommodate discussions among young researchers originated from Indonesia in the fields of social science, humanities, and education. Therefore, the keynote speakers and invited speakers in the seminar are the researchers that are reputable and well-known in the world. We would like to thank the organising committee and the board of reviewers for their kind assistance and intention in reviewing all the papers. We would also extend our best gratitude to keynote speakers for their invaluable contributions and worthwhile ideas shared in the seminar. As a result, ISSHE is expected to be able to be used as academic media to exchange ideas that will impact on conduction of any study related to social science, humanities, and education phenomena.

Download or read book The Halal Food Handbook written by Yunes Ramadan Al-Teinaz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique handbook providing a set of good practice standards for both producers and consumers of Halal food This accessible, authoritative book covers all aspects of Halal from its origins through to how we expect Halal to develop in the coming years. It explains what Halal is, where it came from, how it is practiced, and by whom. In addition to putting Halal in a religious and cultural context, the book provides practical standards for those working in the Halal trade. It explains why there are so many different interpretations of Halal and why this needs to be resolved if international trade is to be developed. Each chapter in The Halal Food Handbook is written by leading experts in their particular field of study. The first one discusses how regulatory bodies have failed to stem the miss selling and adulteration of Halal foods. The next chapters cover the slaughter process and issues around good practice. The book then looks at regulators—covering Sharia law, UK national laws, and the EU—and outlines the legal framework for enforcing the law. It also compares and contrasts different types of religious slaughter for faith foods; examines attempts to set an international standard for trade; and discusses pork adulteration in Halal foods. The final chapter covers other aspects of Halal, including cosmetics, tourism, lifestyle, and banking, and finishes with a look at what the future holds for Halal. Written and edited by leading international experts in Halal who are backed by the Muslim Council of Britain Presents a set of good practice standards for both producers and consumers of Halal food Covers the complexity of the political, legal, and practical dimensions of Halal food production The Halal Food Handbook will appeal to a wide audience, including abattoirs, manufacturers, retailers, regulators, academics, public bodies catering for Muslims, and the broader Muslim community.
Download or read book Moral Development and Moral Education Routledge Revivals written by R. S. Peters and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, this collection of essays was taken from Peters’ larger work, Psychology and Ethical Development (1974) in order to provide a more focused volume on moral education for students. Peters’ background in both psychology and philosophy makes the work distinctive, which is evident from the first two essays alone: ‘Freud’s theory of Moral Development in Relation to that of Piaget’ and ‘Moral Education and the Psychology of Character’. He also displays balance in his acceptance that reason and feeling are both of great importance where the subject of moral education is concerned. Although written some time ago, the book discusses issues which are still of considerable interest and importance today.

Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Natural Law written by Dr Ana Marta González and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resorting to natural law is one way of conveying the philosophical conviction that moral norms are not merely conventional rules. Accordingly, the notion of natural law has a clear metaphysical dimension, since it involves the recognition that human beings do not conceive themselves as sheer products of society and history. And yet, if natural law is to be considered the fundamental law of practical reason, it must show also some intrinsic relationship to history and positive law. The essays in this book examine this tension between the metaphysical and the practical and how the philosophical elaboration of natural law presents this notion as a "limiting-concept", between metaphysics and ethics, between the mutable and the immutable; between is and ought, and, in connection with the latter, even the tension between politics and eschatology as a double horizon of ethics. This book, contributed to by scholars from Europe and America, is a major contribution to the renewed interest in natural law. It provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of natural law, both from a historical and a systematic point of view. It ranges from the mediaeval synthesis of Aquinas through the early modern elaborations of natural law, up to current discussions on the very possibility and practical relevance of natural law theory for the contemporary mind.
