Download or read book Rationality in the Social Sciences written by Helmut Staubmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents for the first time a collection of historically important papers written on the concept of rationality in the social sciences. In 1939-40, the famed Austrian economist Joseph A. Schumpeter and the famous sociologist Talcott Parsons convened a faculty seminar at Harvard University on the topic of rationality. The first part includes their essays as well as papers by the Austrian phenomenologist Alfred Schütz, the sociologist Wilbert Moore, and the economist Rainer Schickele. Several younger economists and sociologists with bright futures also participated, including Alex Gerschenkron, John Dunlop, Paul M. Sweezy, and Wassily W. Leontief, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize for developing input-output analysis. The second part presents essays and commentaries written by today’s internationally noted social scientists and addressing the topic of rationality in social action from a broad range of perspectives. The book’s third and final part shares the recently discovered correspondence between the seminar principals regarding the original but failed plan to publish its proceedings. It also includes letters, not previously published, between Richard Grathoff, Walter M. Sprondel and Talcott Parsons on the rationality seminar and the exchanges between Parsons and Schütz.
Download or read book Values of American Society written by Talcott Parsons and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The material in Values of American Society remains the principal resource for understanding Parsons' conception of value systems. His treatment of value systems has been much debated, although poorly understood, in considerable part because Parsons never published his full conception, developed only in these manuscripts. They continue to hold interest for social scientists, both for their carefully developed analytical scheme and for the resulting discussion of American culture and society.

This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Universität zu Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der folgenden Hausarbeit wird das zweite Kapitel von „a theory of Justice“ des Philosophen John Rawls aus dem Jahre 1971 dargestellt und kritisch hinterfragt. Der Schwerpunkt wird dabei auf seinen beiden Grundsätzen der Gerechtigkeit liegen. Geprüft werden diese beiden Grundsätze hauptsächlich vor dem Hintergrund eines Textes von Peter Koller auf die Frage nach ihrer möglichen Anwendbarkeit und ihrer Grenzen in der Realität und auf Grundlage eines Textes von Otfried Höffe auf ihre mögliche Umsetzung in unserer heutigen Zeit, in der Globalisierung ein immer größer werdender Einfluss für das menschliche Zusammenleben ist. Zu Beginn gibt es eine kurze Einführung und Übersicht über das gesamte Werk „a theory of justice“ die als Grundlage für weitere Erläuterungen dient. Im Anschluss wird dann das zweite Kapitel des Buches näher vorgestellt. Dies mit besonderem Augenmerk auf Rawls Hinführung und Formulierung seiner beiden Gerechtigkeitsgrundsätze. Nach der Darstellung des Kapitels wird Rawls Argumentation für seine beiden Grundsätze hinsichtlich ihrer logischen Begründbarkeit auf Grundlage des Textes von Peter Koller kritisch hinterfragt. Neben der Kritik an der logischen Begründung wird im Anschluss der Frage nachgegangen inwieweit die Möglichkeiten existieren die Gerechtigkeitsgrundsätze von Rawls in der Realität umzusetzen und welche Grenzen und Unterschiede zwischen Theorie und Praxis verlaufen. Danach wird vor dem Hintergrund, dass Rawls Buch „a theory of Justice“ vor über 50 Jahren geschrieben wurde außerdem erörtert welche Schwierigkeiten und Grenzen die heutige Zeit für seine Theorie birgt und ob seine Theorie auch die Möglichkeiten und Probleme der Globalisierung mit einbezieht.

Download or read book Corporate Truth written by Adrian Henriques and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the corporate jungle inhabited by Enrons and WorldComs, a lack of transparency is the root of all scandal. Yet delivering transparency seems immensely difficult, with the oftencompeting interests of shareholders, corporate boards, government regulators and other stakeholders to be taken into account. Drawing on a vast wealth of real-life examples from the commercial world, this lively business book goes in search of the appropriate limits of transparency. From commercial confidentiality and the ethics of marketing to lobbying and corporate corruption, the author addresses the position, significance and limits of transparency in modern corporate life, working through the dilemmas presented by the increasing calls for transparency. From the secrets of the boardroom to the struggles of NGOs, transparency is a persistent challenge. How much is enough? How much do we need? And how do companies actually report on their impacts?

This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume brings together expert reviews of the recent significant advances in our knowledge and understanding of the organisation of the higher plant nucleus, and in particular in the relationship between nuclear organisation and the regulation of gene expression. Rapid progress has been made in a number of key areas over the last five years, including description and characterization of proteins of the nuclear envelope and nuclear pore complex, novel insights into nucleoskeletal structures, as well as developments related to chromatin organization, function and gene expression. These advances open the way for new research into areas such as stress tolerance, plant-pathogen interactions and ultimately crop improvement and food security. Continued research into plant nuclear structure, genome architecture and gene regulation also enriches our understanding of the origin and evolution of the nucleus and its envelope. Edited by world-class researchers in plant cell biology, and comprising contributions from internationally-renowned academics, this latest volume in the prestigious Annual Plant Reviews series brings together a wealth of knowledge in the burgeoning field of plant nuclear structure and genetics. Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 46: Plant Nuclear Structure, Genome Architecture and Gene Regulation is a vital resource for advanced students, researchers and professionals in plant science and related disciplines. Libraries in all research establishments where plant science, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and genomics and agricultural science are taught and studied will find this excellent volume an essential addition to their shelf.
Download or read book Macroeconomic Analysis and Parametric Control of a National Economy written by Abdykappar A. Ashimov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a sequel to the book by Dr. A. Ashimov and his colleagues, Macroeconomic Analysis and Economic Policy Based on Parametric Control. The authors have expanded both the developed mathematical apparatus and the scope of problems and applications stemming from the practice of steering a national economy of a small country in the dynamic environment of the international economic order. The developed theoretical foundation is used in Chapter 1 to suggest a decision support system operating in the framework of state economic policy making. Chapter 2 presents various mathematical models built on the basis of the available statistical data and provides quality assessment of these models. Parametric control problems are being formulated on the basis of these models as problems of mathematical programming, and the obtained solutions are subjected to analyses and interpretations. This is demonstrated by the analysis of the effect of uncontrollable factors on the problem solutions. Chapter 3 is aimed at the modelling and analysis of cyclic phenomena in economics and their structural stability. Chapter 4 presents solutions of specific problems of national economy and analysis and interpretation of their solutions. In summary, the authors formulate comprehensive mathematical models of some critical mechanisms in micro economics previously known only on a qualitative level. They provide vigorous mathematical analysis of the models that justifies their applicability for the formulation of parametric control problems, and the existence of model-based solutions. The complexity of the resultant problems is addressed by the formulation of the appropriate algorithms. The described methodology leads to the development of computer-based decision support systems.
