Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La reflexión del hombre acerca del mundo y la vida es tan antigua como la humanidad. Pero en el siglo V a. C., cuando Tales predice un eclipse, nace una nueva disciplina que más tarde se llamó filosofía. Con la reflexión (logos), el pensamiento deja de apoyarse en los relatos mitológicos y en la personificación de las fuerzas de la naturaleza, y se vuelve sistemático, racional. Ya había razón en el mito (si no, Ulises no podría haber burlado al cíclope, como se cuenta en la Odisea)... y todavía habrá mito en la razón (si no, Platón no podría explicar la inmortalidad del alma). De todos modos, con el nacimiento de la filosofía hay un cambio en las exigencias, los métodos, las formas de explicar el hombre y el mundo.Las grandes inquietudes de la humanidad: qué es el ser, cuál es la naturaleza del conocimiento, cómo alcanzar la felicidad... comienzan a tratarse filosóficamente. Este paso hacia la razón se da gracias al advenimiento de la polis (no como ciudad, sino como forma de organización social) y al ocio de las clases dominantes, que disponen de tiempo libre para filosofar.. FILOSOFÍA GRIEGA PARA PRINCIPIANTES acompaña las reformulaciones que se hicieron a partir de Sócrates, Platón, Aristóteles y otros filósofos -los presocráticos, los sofistas...- que la historia mantuvo ocultos y marginados durante mucho tiempo, hasta la aparición de las escuelas helenísticas: cinismo, escepticismo, estoicismo y epicureísmo.Era naciente - ArgentinaEste libro contiene el desarrollo de los siguientes temas: Filosofía Siglo XXI para principiantes con ilustraciones de Pablo Sapia Con este libro usted podrá desarrollar conocimientos sobre filosofía griega.

Uno con una editorial y otro ya con Grijalbo, pero me costó un huevo del ojo.” —RIUS ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The most entertaining history of philosophy! In one volume, we take a look at all the major philosophers, from pre-Socratic to modern-day thinkers. Believe it or not, philosophy can be a lot of fun. Creator of Los Agachados (The Crouched), Mis Supermachos (My Supermachos), and more than a hundred published books, Rius, the great Mexican cartoonist, holds a key place in the history of popular culture. Philosophy (from Greek filos = love, sophia = wisdom: the love of wisdom) is nothing more than man's attempt to know his place in the universe, and to try to explain it through reason. But hang on a minute: First, we want to say something about this book... First, this is not a book for specialists, but for beginners. Secondly, although we've tried to use language that is simple and understandable by everyone, we recommend that you read this at a leisurely pace, trying to understand the meaning of every word. And thirdly, open your mind, don't get stuck on what you "already know"; accept and reason through things, even if they clash with what you already believe... (This is for those who believe in dogmas, Marxist or otherwise.) Believe it or not, philosophy can actually be a lot of fun!

Download or read book Creating Continuous Flow written by Mike Rother and published by Lean Enterprise Institute. This book was released on 2001-12 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workbook explains in simple, step-by-step terms how to introduce and sustain lean flows of material and information in pacemaker cells and lines, a prerequisite for achieving a lean value stream.A sight we frequently encounter when touring plants is the relocation of processing steps from departments (process villages) to product-family work cells, but too often these "cells" produce only intermittent and erratic flow. Output gyrates from hour to hour and small piles of inventory accumulate between each operation so that few of the benefits of cellularization are actually being realized; and, if the cell is located upstream from the pacemaker process, none of the benefits may ever reach the customer.This sequel to Learning to See (which focused on plant level operations) provides simple step-by-step instructions for eliminating waste and creating continuous flow at the process level. This isn't a workbook you will read once then relegate to the bookshelf. It's an action guide for managers, engineers, and production associates that you will use to improve flow each and every day.Creating Continuous Flow takes you to the next level in work cell design where you'll achieve even greater cost and lead time savings. You'll learn: where to focus your continuous flow efforts, how to create much more efficient work cells and lines, how to operate a pacemaker process so that a lean value stream is possible, how to sustain the gains, and keep improving.Creating Continuous Flow is the next logical step after Learning to See. The value-stream mapping process defined the pacemaker process and the overall flow of products and information in the plant. The next step is to shift your focus from the plant to the process level by zeroing in on the pacemaker process, which sets the production rhythm for the plant or value stream, and apply the principles of continuous flow.Every production facility has at least one pacemaker process. The pacemaker processes is usually where products take their final form before going to external customers. It’s called the pacemaker because how you operate here determines both how well you can serve the customer and what the demand pattern is like for your upstream supplying processes.How the pacemaker process operates is critically important. A steady and consistently flowing pacemaker places steady and consistent demands on the rest of the value stream. The continuous flow processing that results allows companies to create leaner value streams.[Source : 4e de couv.]
