Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his famous classification of the sciences, Francis Bacon not only catalogued those branches of knowledge that already existed in his time, but also anticipated the new disciplines he believed would emerge in the future: the "desirable sciences." Mikhail Epstein echoes, in part, Bacon's vision and outlines the "desirable" disciplines and methodologies that may emerge in the humanities in response to the new realities of the twenty-first century. Are the humanities a purely scholarly field, or should they have some active, constructive supplement? We know that technology serves as the practical extension of the natural sciences, and politics as the extension of the social sciences. Both technology and politics are designed to transform what their respective disciplines study objectively. The Transformative Humanities: A Manifesto addresses the question: Is there any activity in the humanities that would correspond to the transformative status of technology and politics? It argues that we need a practical branch of the humanities which functions similarly to technology and politics, but is specific to the cultural domain.

The answers depend on your personal philosophy, your interpretation of the research, the level at which you are teaching, the kinds of students you are teaching, community preferences, and the nature of your school or school district's reading program.

Download or read book Wings of Judgment written by Ronald Schaffer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1988-09-29 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II--"the good war"--is here viewed from a new angle of vision, one that sheds fresh light on how major decisions were reached. More than just a book on the strategy and outcome of American bombing in World War II, Wings of Judgment tells about choices in war, decisions that determined whether hundreds of thousands of people lived or died and whether famous cities and great monuments of civilization survived or were destroyed. It is about the bombing of Dresden and Berlin and of dozens of cities and towns all over Germany and about the preservation of Rome and Florence. It is about the incineration of Tokyo, the bombing of Hiroshima, and the sparing of one of Japan's most beautiful and holy places, the city of Kyoto. Describing U.S. air raids that terrified inhabitants of enemy nations and citizens of enemy-occupied countries, it raises serious questions about the military and moral effects of American bombing. It also tells of American efforts to avoid killing civilians needlessly. Taking us behind the scenes at military headquarters, Schaffer shows that even the toughest warriors occasionally found themselves offering moral arguments for their actions, arguing that they were made right by enemy atrocities, by the justness of the Allied cause, and by the numbers of lives of American servicemen that Allied bombing might save.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dr. Al-Shabab's new book provides a unique view of the nature and scope of translation as interpretation and the approach to be used in dealing with pre-dictionary texts - that is, those which have never been previously translated. The author provides a model for the study of what he calls "the language of translation." The opening chapters deal with six elements of translation, five stages in the process, three differing types and the nature of the translation lagnuage, together with methodological aspects of its study. The final chapters deal with some observations regarding the language of translation and the application of computer analysis. In addition to providing a descriptive frame, Dr. Al-Shabab captures the creative potential of the translation process and pinpoints the centrality of the translator as an agent, a builder of texts. This book is an important contribution to linguistic hermeneuticsd, attempting as it does to explain the success or failure of translation as a human enterprise"--Back cover.
