A Guide to Stoicism New Large print edition followed by the biographies of various Stoic philosophers taken from "The lives and opinions of eminent philosophers" by Diogenes La?rtius.【電子書籍】[ St. George William Joseph Stock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Philosophy was defined by the Stoics as 'the knowledge of things divine and human'. It was divided into three departments; logic, ethic, and physic. Of the three departments we may say that logic deals with the form and expression of knowledge, physic with the matter of knowledge, and ethic with the use of knowledge. The division may also be justified in this way. Philosophy must study either nature (including the divine nature) or man; and, if it studies man, it must regard him either from the side of the intellect or of the feelings, that is either as a thinking (logic) or as an acting (ethic) being.</p> <p><em>Coming with a new large print edition, this guide is followed by the biographies of various Stoic philosophers taken from "The lives and opinions of eminent philosophers" by Diogenes La?rtius.</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 301円

Encyclopaedia Of Islamic Science And Scientists (Eminent Muslim Scientists)【電子書籍】[ M.H. Syed ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Most progressive among all faiths in the contemporary world, Islam is not only a religion, but also a complete code of life. Introduced in the beginning of the 7th century, Islam removed the thick blankets of ignorance, which were covering whole of the Arabian Peninsula. Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) invited people to Islam to which they responded very harshly and inhumanely. Apart from religious and moral aspects, Islam laid special emphasis on the attainment of education, as an obligatory duty, enjoined on both males and females. It is in this background that Islamic scientific era refers to various diverse developments, caused by Muslim scientists, during the period, known as Islamic Golden Age, Most of the significant scientific advancements were made from 8th to 15thcentury. All the sciences of this period are sometimes referred to as Arabic sciences, because of the Language-Arabic, the (then) lingua franca. The Islamic approach recognizes the limitations rotations of the human mind and acknowledges that all knowledge and wisdom vest in Allah, the Almighty alone. The distinguishing feature, which made Islamic science, superior to that of its western counterpart, is the higher degree of ethics and values. On the contrary, modern science has endless preoccupations that have little or no consideration in respect of ethics or morality. There are hardly any comprehensive and exhaustive books on the subject and there was being felt a pressing need to bring out inauthentic work. This voluminous work is a precious asset for all scholars, researchers and all those, engaged in an academic pursuit, concerning Islamic Studies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 38,694円

That Eminent Tribunal Judicial Supremacy and the Constitution【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The role of the United States Supreme Court has been deeply controversial throughout American history. Should the Court undertake the task of guarding a wide variety of controversial and often unenumerated rights? Or should it confine itself to enforcing specific constitutional provisions, leaving other issues (even those of rights) to the democratic process?</p> <p><em>That Eminent Tribunal</em> brings together a distinguished group of legal scholars and political scientists who argue that the Court's power has exceeded its appropriate bounds, and that sound republican principles require greater limits on that power. They reach this conclusion by an interesting variety of paths, and despite varied political convictions.</p> <p>Some of the essays debate the explicit claims to constitutional authority laid out by the Supreme Court itself in <em>Planned Parenthood v. Casey</em> and similar cases, and others focus on the defenses of judicial authority found commonly in legal scholarship (e.g., the allegedly superior moral reasoning of judges, or judges' supposed track record of superior political decision making). The authors find these arguments wanting and contend that the principles of republicanism and the contemporary form of judicial review exercised by the Supreme Court are fundamentally incompatible.</p> <p>The contributors include Hadley Arkes, Gerard V. Bradley, George Liebmann, Michael McConnell, Robert F. Nagel, Jack Wade Nowlin, Steven D. Smith, Jeremy Waldron, Keith E. Whittington, Christopher Wolfe, and Michael P. Zuckert.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,675円

Private Property, Community Development, and Eminent Domain【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The contributors in this volume address the fundamental relationship between the state and its citizens, and among the people themselves. Discussion centers on a recent decision by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Kelo v. City of New London. This case involved the use of eminent domain power to acquire private property for purposes of transferring it by the State to another private party that would make "better" economic use of the land. This type of state action has been identified as an "economic development taking". In the Kelo case, the Court held that the action was legal within provisions of the US Constitution but the opinion was contentious among some of the Justices and has been met with significant negative outcry from the public. The Kelo case and the public debate arising in its aftermath give cause to assess the legal landscape related to the ability of government to fairly balance the tension between private property and the public interest. The tension and the need to successfully strike a balance are not unique to any one country or any one political system. From the United States to the United Kingdom, to the People's Republic of China, property and its legal regulation are of prime importance to matters of economic development and civic institution building. The Kelo decision, therefore, explores a rich set of legal principles with broad applicability.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 11,123円

The Holy Bible with Notes, Critical, Historical, and Explanatory, Selected from the most eminent commentators and critics【電子書籍】[ Raymond Geschke ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is the complete Holy Bible as annotated by Fr. George Leo Haydock, and later revised by Oakeley. It is a venerable Catholic Study Bible of much erudition and Catholic orthodoxy that remains in print to this day. The original Haydock Bible was published in Manchester England in 1811, and then revised by Oakeley in 1878. This was the last original updating of the Haydock Bible, which reflected then current discoveries in philology, archaeology and science. This eBook version of the Haydock-Oakeley Bible has been created with ease of use in mind. The notes are linked within the Biblical Text. The table of contents makes it easy to move about the Bible by book and chapter. All of the supplementary material that was found in the 1878 Bible is included, as well as some other additions, only found in the eBook version. The text of the Bible is a version of the Douay Rheims Bible, first published in 1582-1611. Therefore the English uses "thee" and "thou" etc. However, it is no more difficult to read than a Dickens novel (aside from the notes, which can be scholarly.) This is a must have for any Catholic, that wishes to have a good study bible.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,780円

Going Concern Valuation For Real Estate Appraisers, Lenders, Assessors, and Eminent Domain【電子書籍】[ L. Deane Wilson MA ASA ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Our purpose in writing this book is multifaceted. First, this book aims to present a clear understanding of going concern valuations, at the same time resolving the current misrepresentations surrounding the issue.</p> <p>Additionally, this book offers a new set of rules readers can use to determine which property types qualify as going concern valuations and which do not.</p> <p>This book presents an understanding that in performing a Going Concern Valuation of properties which are perceived to have a business component, it may not be possible to segregate, allocate, or value the components individually.</p> <p>For example, when appraising the going concern value of a motel with occupancy of 75% it could be argued and possibly proven that there is a value that can be separated from the overall value, or going concern value, to the business component. On the other hand, however, appraising that same motel with only 40% occupancy presents a completely different set of circumstances that could easily draw completely opposite conclusions. It simply may be a lack of sufficient tools or data to argue and prove that the business component in fact has value separate from the real estate. To do so with authority is tantamount to ignorance or arrogance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,760円
