Book The Political Economy of Sustainability

Download or read book The Political Economy of Sustainability written by Fred P. Gale and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This theoretical and practical book builds on the knowledge that sustainability’s value pluralism cannot be reconciled with the value monism of classical, neoclassical, nationalist or socialist political economy. Developing the concept of sustainability value (SV), which requires integrating economic (exchange), social (labour), environmental (intrinsic) and cultural (use) values in all processes of extraction, manufacturing, trade, consumption and disposal, the book reformulates our understanding of key political economy topics such as trade, investment, preference formation, corporate governance and the role of the state. The book illustrates how SV is being realised via multi-stakeholder networks which, forming at the community, national and global levels, enable the required cross-value deliberation.

Its focus on multiculturalism and its analysis of basic concepts related to timely issues of public arts policy make it a unique contribution.

Book Routledge Handbook of Marxian Economics

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Marxian Economics written by David M. Brennan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most developed economies are characterized by high levels of inequality and an inability to provide stability or opportunity for many of their citizens. Mainstream economics has proven to be of little assistance in addressing these systemic failures, and this has led both scholars and students to seek alternatives. One such alternative is provided by Marxian economics. In recent decades the field has seen tremendous theoretical development and Marxian perspectives have begun to appear in public discourse in unprecedented ways. This handbook contains thirty-seven original essays from a wide range of leading international scholars, recognized for their expertise in different areas of Marxian economics. Its scope is broad, ranging from contributions on familiar Marxist concepts such as value theory, the labor process, accumulation, crisis and socialism, to others not always associated with the Marxian canon, like feminism, ecology, international migration and epistemology. This breadth of coverage reflects the development of Marxian economic and social theory, and encompasses both the history and the frontiers of current scholarship. This handbook provides an extensive statement of the current shape and future direction of Marxian economics. The Routledge Handbook of Marxian Economics is an invaluable resource for students, researchers and policy makers seeking guidance in this field. It is designed to serve both as a reference work and as a supplementary text for classroom use, with applications for courses in economics, sociology, political science, management, anthropology, development studies, philosophy and history.

Book Relational Realms

    Book Details:
  • Author : Diana Wandix-White
  • Publisher : Rowman & Littlefield
  • Release : 2023-02-06
  • ISBN : 1475867220
  • Pages : 113 pages

Download or read book Relational Realms written by Diana Wandix-White and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relational Realms offers context for the exploration of positive relationship building. It is rooted in the contention that relationships consist of various internal and external ways of knowing and being that constantly and interactively release and retrieve energy which, when acknowledged and worked through, can result in authentic and relationally healthy environments. In our present divided era, educators hold the potential to be societal change agents by engaging in a transformative way of relating to students, families, and other educators; Relational Realms offers such a pathway. Through this book, we offer a map for navigating relationships and analytical tools that provide theoretical and practical contexts for getting to the heart or root of positive relationship building in school environments and beyond. Relational Realms consists of a complex web of internal and external ways of knowing and being that challenge our emotions. Within the text, we lay out the key components of the 8 Relational Realms, and present the relationship among them. They include the following: relational epistemology, relational knowledge, relational knowing, relational cultural knowing, relational dissonance, relational value, relational spiritual knowing, relational competence.

Book Philosophic Values and World Citizenship

Download or read book Philosophic Values and World Citizenship written by Jacoby Adeshei Carter and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Philosophic Values and World Citizenship: Locke to Obama and Beyond, Alain Locke—the central promoter of the Harlem Renaissance, America's most famous African American pragmatist, the cultural referent for Renaissance movements in the Caribbean and Africa—is placed in conversation with leading philosophers and cultural figures in the modern world. The contributors to this collection compare and contrast Locke's views on values, tolerance, cosmopolitanism, and American and world citizenship with philosophers and leading cultural figures ranging from Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, James Farmer, William James, John Dewey, José Vasconcelos, Hans G. Gadamer, Fredrick Nietzsche, Horace Kallen, Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka) to the cultural and political figure of Barack Obama. This important collection of essays eruditely presents Locke's views on moral, emotional, and aesthetic values; the principle of tolerance in managing value conflict; and his rhetorical style, which conveyed his views of cultural reciprocity and tolerance in the service of the values of citizenship and cosmopolitanism. For teachers and students of contemporary debates in pragmatism, diversity, and value theory, these conversations define new and controversial terrain.

Book Zainab   s Traffic

    Book Details:
  • Author : Emrah Yildiz
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2024-05-28
  • ISBN : 0520976940
  • Pages : 211 pages

Download or read book Zainab s Traffic written by Emrah Yildiz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the value—religious, political, economic, or altogether social—of getting on a bus in Tehran to embark on an eight-hundred-mile journey across two international borders to the Sayyida Zainab shrine outside Damascus? Under what material conditions can such values be established, reassessed, or transgressed, and by whom? Zainab’s Traffic provides answers to these questions alongside the socially embedded—and spatially generative—encounters of ritual, mobility, desire, genealogy, and patronage along the route. Whether it is through the study of the spatial politics of saint veneration in Islam, analysis of cross-border gold trade and sanctions, or examination of pilgrims women’s desire for Syrian lingerie accompanying their pleas with the saint in marital matters, the book develops the idea of visitation as a ritual of mobility across geography, history, and category. Iranian visitors’ experiences on the road to Sayyida Zainab—emerging out of a self-described “poverty of mobility”—demonstrate the utility of a more capacious anthropological understanding of ritual. Rather than thinking of ritual as a scripturally canonized manual for pious self-cultivation, Zainab’s Traffic approaches ziyarat as a traffic of pilgrims, goods, and ideas across Iran, Turkey, and Syria.

Book Ten Neglected Classics of Philosophy

Download or read book Ten Neglected Classics of Philosophy written by Eric Schliesser and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes for a philosophical classic? Why do some philosophical works persist over time, while others do not? The philosophical canon and diversity are topics of major debate today. This stimulating volume contains ten new essays by accomplished philosophers writing passionately about works in the history of philosophy that they feel were unjustly neglected or ignored-and why they deserve greater attention. The essays cover lesser known works by famous thinkers as well as works that were once famous but now only faintly remembered. Works examined include Gorgias' Encomium of Helen, Jane Adams' Women and Public Housekeeping, W.E.B. DuBois' Whither Now and Why, Edith Stein's On the Problem of Empathy, Jonathan Bennett's Rationality, and more. While each chapter is an expression of engagement with an individual work, the volume as a whole, and Eric Schliesser's introduction specifically, address timely questions about the nature of philosophy, disciplinary contours, and the vagaries of canon formation.

Book Scientism  Science  Ethics and Religion

Download or read book Scientism Science Ethics and Religion written by Mikael Stenmark and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 20/11/2001: The intellectual and practical successes of science have led some scientists to think that there are no real limits to the competence of scienece, and no limits to what can be achieved in the name of science. This view (and similar views) have been called Scientism. In this book, scientists' views about science and its relationship to knowledge, ethics and religion are subjected to critical scrutiny. A number of natural scientists have advocated Scientism in one form or another - Francis Crick, Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, and Edward O. Wilson - and their impact inside and outside the sciences is considered. Clarifying what Scientism is, this book proceeds to evaluate its key claims, expounded in questions such as: is it the case that science can tell us everything there is to know about reality? Can science tell us how we morally ought to live and what the meaning of life is? Can science in fact be our new religion? Ought we become "science believers"? The author addresses these and similar issues, concluding that Scientism is not really science but disguised materialism or naturalism; its advocates fail to see this, not being sufficiently aware that their arguments presuppose the previous acceptance of certain extra-scientific or philosophical beliefs

Book Innovation in a High Technology B2B Context

Download or read book Innovation in a High Technology B2B Context written by Monika Maria Möhring and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investment goods and services require the particular acceptance of buying, technical and strategic departments in customer organisations. The empirical evidence of large scale consumer (B2C) studies therefore bear no validity for B2B decision scenarios in large corporations. Monika Maria Möhring draws on deep insight in an industry-leading multinational corporation's automation, IT, MRO, warehousing and process innovation projects. She scrutinises the build-up and optimisation of sustainable supply relationships. This book depicts the idea, testing, and use of a comprehensive research agenda and methodology for value networks and dyads therein. It introduces a diagnostic industry-proven scorecard and highlights its application for managerial governance of strategic supply chains.
