Voting Paradoxes and Group Coherence The Condorcet Efficiency of Voting Rules【電子書籍】[ William V. Gehrlein ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The likelihood of observing Condorcet's Paradox is known to be very low for elections with a small number of candidates if voters’ preferences on candidates reflect any significant degree of a number of different measures of mutual coherence. This reinforces the intuitive notion that strange election outcomes should become less likely as voters’ preferences become more mutually coherent. Similar analysis is used here to indicate that this notion is valid for most, but not all, other voting paradoxes. This study also focuses on the Condorcet Criterion, which states that the pairwise majority rule winner should be chosen as the election winner, if one exists. Representations for the Condorcet Efficiency of the most common voting rules are obtained here as a function of various measures of the degree of mutual coherence of voters’ preferences. An analysis of the Condorcet Efficiency representations that are obtained yields strong support for using Borda Rule.</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。

Parallels and Paradoxes Explorations in Music and Society【電子書籍】[ Edward W. Said ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>**These free-wheeling, often exhilarating dialogues are an exchange between two prominent figures in contemporary culture: Daniel Barenboim, internationally renowned conductor and pianist, and Edward W. Said, eminent literary critic and impassioned commentator on the Middle East. Barenboim is an Argentinian-Israeli and Said a Palestinian-American; they are also close friends.</p> <p>“[A] genuine give-and-take between keen minds and open hearts. . . . The fluidity of their relationship, like musicians in an orchestra, is a compelling model for a world often splintered by dogma, ideology and hermetically sealed minds.” ?<em>Los Angeles Times</em>**</p> <p>As they range across music, literature, and society, they open up many fields of inquiry: the importance of a sense of place; music as a defiance of silence; the legacies of artists from Mozart and Beethoven to Dickens and Adorno; Wagner’s anti-Semitism; and the need for “artistic solutions” to the predicament of the Middle Eastーsomething they both witnessed when they brought young Arab and Israeli musicians together. Erudite, intimate, thoughtful and spontaneous, <strong>Parallels and Paradoxes</strong> is a virtuosic collaboration.</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。

Why the Innocent Plead Guilty and the Guilty Go Free And Other Paradoxes of Our Broken Legal System【電子書籍】[ Judge Jed S. Rakoff ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>In this startling and incisive exploration, Judge Jed S. Rakoff, a leading authority on white-collar crime, exposes the paradoxes and injustices that define the American judiciary today.</strong></p> <p>How can we be proud of a system of justice that often pressures the innocent to plead guilty? How can we claim that justice is equal when we imprison thousands of poor Black men for relatively modest crimes but rarely prosecute rich white executives who commit crimes having far greater impact? How can we applaud the Supreme Court's ever-more-limited view of its duty to combat excesses by the president?</p> <p>In <em>Why the Innocent Plead Guilty and the Guilty Go Free</em>, Rakoff draws on his twenty-four years as a federal trial judge in New York, as well as his experience as a federal prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer, to illuminate some of our most urgent legal, social, and political issues: plea deals and class-action lawsuits, corporate impunity and the death penalty, the perils of eyewitness testimony and forensic science, the war on terror and the expanding reach of the executive branch. He reveals a fundamental problem: the judiciary is constraining its own constitutional powers.</p> <p>With a unique insider's perspective, Rakoff understands the values that animate the best aspects of our legal systemーand has a close-up view of our failure to live up to these ideals. But he sees within this gap great opportunities for practical reform and a public mandate to make our justice system truly just.</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。

Paradoxes of Defence【電子書籍】[ George Silver ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Paradoxes of Defence was first published in London in 1599. It was written by George Silver, an English gentleman, who was appalled at the influx of Italian rapier fencing into England, and set out his arguments in favour of the traditional English weapons: the short sword, the short staff, the forrest bill, the morris pike, and all manner of additional arms such as daggers, bucklers, and targes. He rails against the fashionable new style on the grounds that it is both dangerous to the practitioners, and of no use in warfare.</p> <p>Whether he was right or wrong, history was against him and the fashionable Italian rapier took over. But his work offers a vital window into the theory and practice of martial arts in England in Tudor times, and ironically provides much of what we know about several Italian rapier masters: Rocco Bonetti, Vincentio Saviolo, and Jeronimo Saviolo.</p> <p>In this edition, the text has been modernised and edited by Guy Windsor, and published as a companion volume to the audiobook version, available in both modern pronunciation narrated by Jonathan Hartman, and original pronunciation narrated by Ben Crystal.

Stalin Paradoxes of Power, 1878-1928【電子書籍】[ Stephen Kotkin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A magnificent new biography that revolutionizes our understanding of Stalin and his world</strong></p> <p>It has the quality of myth: a poor cobbler’s son, a seminarian from an oppressed outer province of the Russian empire, reinvents himself as a top leader in a band of revolutionary zealots. When the band seizes control of the country in the aftermath of total world war, the former seminarian ruthlessly dominates the new regime until he stands as absolute ruler of a vast and terrible state apparatus, with dominion over Eurasia. While still building his power base within the Bolshevik dictatorship, he embarks upon the greatest gamble of his political life and the largest program of social reengineering ever attempted: the collectivization of all agriculture and industry across one sixth of the earth. Millions will die, and many more millions will suffer, but the man will push through to the end against all resistance and doubts.</p> <p>Where did such power come from? In <em>Stalin</em>, Stephen Kotkin offers a biography that, at long last, is equal to this shrewd, sociopathic, charismatic dictator in all his dimensions. The character of Stalin emerges as both astute and blinkered, cynical and true believing, people oriented and vicious, canny enough to see through people but prone to nonsensical beliefs. We see a man inclined to despotism who could be utterly charming, a pragmatic ideologue, a leader who obsessed over slights yet was a precocious geostrategic thinkerーunique among Bolsheviksーand yet who made egregious strategic blunders. Through it all, we see Stalin’s unflinching persistence, his sheer force of willーperhaps the ultimate key to understanding his indelible mark on history.</p> <p><em>Stalin</em> gives an intimate view of the Bolshevik regime’s inner geography of power, bringing to the fore fresh materials from Soviet military intelligence and the secret police. Kotkin rejects the inherited wisdom about Stalin’s psychological makeup, showing us instead how Stalin’s near paranoia was fundamentally political, and closely tracks the Bolshevik revolution’s structural paranoia, the predicament of a Communist regime in an overwhelmingly capitalist world, surrounded and penetrated by enemies. At the same time, Kotkin demonstrates the impossibility of understanding Stalin’s momentous decisions outside of the context of the tragic history of imperial Russia.</p> <p>The product of a decade of intrepid research, <em>Stalin</em> is a landmark achievement, a work that recasts the way we think about the Soviet Union, revolution, dictatorship, the twentieth century, and indeed the art of history itself.</p> <p><strong><em>Stalin: Waiting for Hitler, 1929-1941</em> will be published by Penguin Press in October 2017</strong></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。

My Life With an Enigma; Unscrambling the paradoxes of an iron-willed romantic【電子書籍】[ Linda Paul ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>From England to Wyoming via Germany and New York. Raised to follow expected social norms, Yramiris Paul Tracy, forged the life she wanted to liveーlife on a ranch in the west. As she told her NYC lawyer in 1957, “My children will know the sky, the sunshine, the mountains, the prairie sage! My children will play on the back of a horse, not in a grimy alley.” Yry was not just a unique individual, she was elusive. And she was a study in contrasts: a romantic dreamer, yet hard-headed and tough as nails when confronted with obstacles that would have pulled others up short. Her flair for the dramatic, paired with a fear of intimacy and exposure, resulted in a wake of similar, but never-matching stories of her past. Her complex nature drew people to shake their heads in wonder and sometimes in disapproval, but to love her just the same.</p> <p>This book is the author’s attempt to unravel the enigma that was her mother and to share Yry’s uniqueness beyond the scope of her friends and family.</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。

Paradoxes of Green Landscapes of a City-State【電子書籍】[ Gareth Doherty ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This innovative multidisciplinary study considers the concept of green from multiple perspectivesーaesthetic, architectural, environmental, political, and socialーin the Kingdom of Bahrain, where green has a long and deep history of appearing cooling, productive, and prosperousーa radical contrast to the hot and hostile desert. Although green is often celebrated in cities as a counter to gray urban environments, green has not always been good for cities. Similarly, manifestation of the color green in arid urban environments is often in direct conflict with the practice of green from an environmental point of view. This paradox is at the heart of the book. In arid environments such as Bahrain, the contradiction becomes extreme and even unsustainable.</p> <p>Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Gareth Doherty explores the landscapes of Bahrain, where green represents a plethora of implicit human values and exists in dialectical tension with other culturally and environmentally significant colors and hues. Explicit in his book is the argument that concepts of color and object are mutually defining and thus a discussion about green becomes a discussion about the creation of space and place.</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。

New Lamps for Old? Gender Paradoxes of Political Decentralisation in Kerala【電子書籍】[ J. Devika ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Based on a large number of interviews with women politicians of many generations and women who have entered the three-tier Panchayati Raj institutions since the mid-1990s in Kerala, this book tries to initiate fresh debate on the impact of the large-scale induction of women into the institutions of local self-government in India. The State of Kerala has been hailed as a success story in accommodating gender concerns in local-level planning and political decentralisation; this conclusion has been based on relatively simple evaluative exercises that ask whether women of diverse backgrounds have gained entry into formal institutions of governance or not. This book seeks to place political decentralisation and its possibilities for women within the historical and contemporary contexts. Against the popular assumption that the liberal feminist promise made by the state will be delivered, say, once the noxious influence of male relatives is removed, the book points to the multiple social forces that shape possibilities and hindrances for women, and reshape gender divisions in the political field. The book thus pays attention to women in both local governance and politics. Secondly, it examines how women have utilised, extended, survived within or subverted these spaces. In the present context in which fifty per cent of the seats in the institutions of local self-government are being reserved for women, and there exists considerable skepticism about reservations for women in the Parliament, this book offers reflections on both local governance and ‘high’ politics.</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。

Trans-Atlantic Migration The Paradoxes of Exile【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book argues that a new cadre of African immigrants are finding themselves in the New Worldーmostly well educated, high-income earning professionals, and belonging to the category termed "African brain drain," they constitute the antinomy of those Africans who were forcibly removed from Africa during slavery. Along with this sense of freedom and voluntary migration comes a paradoxーthat of living in two worlds and negotiating the pleasures and agonies that come with living in exile. For the new African immigrant, the primary factor motivating migration is the desire for a better life whether fleeing political persecution, economic crisis, refugee crisis, or a combination thereof. The overall consequences include displacement, alienation, and the not so enchanting reality of exile. In its encompassing structure and multivalent perspectives, Trans-Atlantic Migration sets in motion the shifting theoretical and pragmatic verity that the new African diaspora and transatlantic migrations are paths laden with paradoxes that only time, negotiations, compromises, and sense of identities can ultimately resolve.</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。

Race, Ethnicity, Nationality and the Law Legal Paradoxes in Conceptualization and Operationalization【電子書籍】[ Andr?s L. Pap ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book provides a complex insight into how law, as a distinct tool and technology, conceptualizes and operationalizes race, ethnicity and nationality. The focus of the comparative project, by bringing examples from five continents and scores of jurisdictions, as well as showcases for hybrid, intersectional groups, is specifically the morphology and dynamics of legal categorization. Separate discussions concentrate on conceptualizing groupness and membership, as well as agency and contestation. The book shows that although identity politics has dominated recent decades, ethno-racial self-identification is not the only operationalizing model legal regimes apply, especially with the recent boost in artificial intelligence (AI), and bio-genetic research. Examples for the “re-biologization” of ethno-racial conceptualization are brought from a wide range of legal regimes, including citizenship, anti-discrimination, asylum, and Indigenous law. The work provides a journey through the administrative-political construction and contestation of ethno-racial classifications, with particular attention paid to the concepts of free choice of identity, covering, and fraud, as well as the arbitrariness, the historical path dependence, and the role of merit in conceptualization. While the starting point of the book is to capture ethnicity as a category of law, it shows how legal conceptualization and operationalization are intertwined with categories of analysis and experience. The methodology applied is comparative constitutional and international law, but the research will have wider interdisciplinary appeal offering a novel perspective for a broad audience in social sciences and humanities.</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。

Philosophies, Puzzles and Paradoxes A Statistician’s Search for Truth【電子書籍】[ Yudi Pawitan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Unlike mathematics, statistics deals with real-world data and involves a higher degree of subjectivity due to the role of interpretation. Interpretation is shaped by context as well as the knowledge, preferences, assumptions and preconceptions of the interpreter, leading to a variety of interpretations of concepts as well as results. <strong>Philosophies, Puzzles and Paradoxes: A Statistician’s Search for Truth</strong> thoroughly examines the distinct philosophical approaches to statistics ? Bayesian, frequentist and likelihood ? arising from different interpretations of probability and uncertainty. These differences are highlighted through numerous puzzles and paradoxes and illuminated by extensive discussions of the background philosophy of science.</p> <p>Features:</p> <ul> <li>Exploration of the philosophy of knowledge and truth and how they relate to deductive and inductive reasoning, and ultimately scientific and statistical thinking</li> <li>Discussion of the philosophical theories of probability that are wider than the standard Bayesian and frequentist views</li> <li>Exposition and examination of Savage’s axioms as the basis of subjective probability and Bayesian statistics</li> <li>Explanation of likelihood and likelihood-based inference, including the controversy surrounding the likelihood principle</li> <li>Discussion of fiducial probability and its evolution to confidence procedure</li> <li>Introduction of extended and hierarchical likelihood for random parameters, with the recognition of confidence as extended likelihood, leading to epistemic confidence as an objective measure of uncertainty for single events</li> <li>Detailed analyses and new variations of classic paradoxes, such as the Monty Hall puzzle, the paradox of the ravens, the exchange paradox, and more</li> <li>Substantive yet non-technical, catering to readers with only introductory exposure to the theory of probability and statistics</li> </ul> <p>This book primarily targets statisticians in general, including both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers interested in the philosophical basis of probability and statistics. It is also suitable for philosophers of science and general readers intrigued by puzzles and paradoxes.</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。

C?sar transforme la R?publique romaine en une dictature dans laquelle les libert?s sont ?touff?es, Cic?ron r?dige d'une traite les Paradoxes des Sto?ciens. Il s'agit pour lui de faire en sorte que les vertus romaines antiques soient pr?serv?es malgr? tout ; il veut encourager ses concitoyens, d?sorient?s par l'instauration de la dictature, et les exhorter ? la vertu et ? la sagesse. Contre l'opinion courante ("para doxa" = chose qui ?tonne), Cic?ron va d?velopper des arguments tir?s de l'?thique sto?cienne selon lesquels "seule la beaut? morale est un bien", "la vertu suffit au bonheur", "toute faute est condamnable, toute bonne action est juste", "seul le sage ne d?lire pas, est libre, citoyen et riche"... La poursuite du bonheur, de l'ind?pendance, d'une v?ritable richesse, d'une patrie avec laquelle s'identifier en des temps difficiles, voil? tout le programme de cette ?uvre ? la fois engag?e et p?dagogique. Cic?ron transmet la doctrine des sto?ciens ? ses contemporains en m?me temps qu'il salue tous ceux qui ne veulent pas voir mourir un certain id?al politique et un certain art de vivre.</p> <p><strong>Biographie de l'auteur</strong></p> <p>Cic?ron est un avocat romain remarquable, engag? en politique, dont l'arme principale est la rh?torique. Son art de la parole, ses combats et son attachement ? la philosophie et ? la libert? en font un des hommes les plus ?clair?s de son temps, auteur d'une ?uvre consid?rablement vari?e, qui fait dire de lui l'un des initiateurs de l'humanisme.</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。

Paradoxes in Aerohydrodynamics【電子書籍】[ Shakhbaz A. Yershin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book, on the general topic of hydroaerodynamics, investigates a number of exciting applications in this field, addressing specifically issues that allow seemingly paradoxical issues to be dealt with.</p> <p>The first part is devoted to the study of channel flows, in particular the lateral flow of a viscous and viscous-plastic liquid in a ring channel formed by coaxial cylinders. Specifically, the problem of dissipation of mechanical energy in channel flows of highly viscous liquids is addressed and solved. Furthermore, the mechanism leading to hydrodynamic erosion in intra-field pipelines (known as "channelized effect") is identified. Subsequently, a theory for channel flows with mass transfer through porous walls is developed.</p> <p>In the second part, viscous liquid free flows (jets) are investigated. In particular, a dispersion law for turbulent flow is derived and the existence of dynamic invariance in wake flows of variable density is demonstrated.</p> <p>The third part presents new insights from both theoretical and experimental research into concentrated vortex structure formation and development. The conditions for the existence of Taylor-Goertler vortices are determined and the mechanism for their formation is described. Last but not least, the theory of vortex rings, a particularly interesting problem in hydroaerodynamics, is introduced in the last section of this book.</p> <p>Care has been taken, when selecting original theoretical problems of interest, to make the link with related topics in the published literature. At the same time, all experimental research described in this book is given a meaningful physical interpretation and corroborated by suitable theoretical models and computations.</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。

Testing and the Paradoxes of Fairness【電子書籍】[ Howard Wainer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>How can admissions officers, employers, and scholarship committees maximize the accuracy of prediction of individual performance while minimizing adverse impact due to group differences? Testing offers a straightforward solution to the first half of this problem. Tests are the best way to predict how someone will perform in school, in the military, in medicine, or while controlling airline traffic and flying a plane. Tests are also useful beyond personnel selection, such as for selection of a college major or courses. However, the other side of this problem is more complex. Using tests is always accompanied by group differences that could result in continued systemic discrimination by limiting opportunities for those who are marginalized. This book charts an approach to using tests that incorporates evidence, transparency, and societal values to maximize efficiency and fairness.</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。

Ideological Conflict and the Rule of Law in Contemporary China Useful Paradoxes【電子書籍】[ Samuli Sepp?nen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book studies ideological divisions within Chinese legal academia and their relationship to arguments about the rule of law. The book describes argumentative strategies used by Chinese legal scholars to legitimize and subvert China's state-sanctioned ideology. It also examines Chinese efforts to invent new, alternative rule of law conceptions. In addition to this descriptive project, the book advances a more general argument about the rule of law phenomenon, insisting that many arguments about the rule of law are better understood in terms of their intended and actual effects rather than as analytic propositions or descriptive statements. To illustrate this argument, the book demonstrates that various paradoxical, contradictory and otherwise implausible arguments about the rule of law play an important role in Chinese debates about the rule of law. Paradoxical statements about the rule of law, in particular, can be useful for an ideological project.</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。

Organizational Culture and Paradoxes in Management Firms, Families, and Their Businesses【電子書籍】[ Saulo Ribeiro ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Studies on culture, change and social processes within organizations have been historically organized around orthogonal approaches. While the literature on change has focused on creating pragmatic, generally simple methodologies that bypass the complexity of the data in order to emphasize the possibility of intervention, literature aimed at truly understanding of the firm and its processes has emphasized the ambiguity of organization and the difficulties involved in reaching a unitary view of its processes, let alone creating a single theory of change. Finally, the literature on family businesses has been restricted to limited views of the field, disregarding the rich insights brought by psychology, sociology or anthropology. The result of these trends has been a gap in the creation of knowledge, with a paucity of studies that link theory with practice and ground change on a comprehensive view of the social reality of the firm. This book addresses both the specific need of family businesses and the broader demands of any organization in which the issue of culture is seriously considered.</p> <p>Drawing on the notions and scholarship on organizations and sociology, the author proposes new concepts and tools for the change agents interested in working with the instrumental rules of the firm with the cohesive tone of the family. <em>Organizational Culture and Paradoxes in Management</em> will be of value to students at an advanced level, academics and reflective practitioners. It addresses the topics with regard to management and organizational studies and will be of interest to organizational scholars, consultants and leaders interested in fostering a meaningful culture within organizations and family businesses.</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。

Paradoxes Of China's Prosperity: Political Dilemmas And Global Implications【電子書籍】[ Guoguang Wu ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The world seems divided to either applaud or fear the rise of China, but this book probes deeper by investigating three aspects of the phenomenon in detail: 1) the institutional dilemmas of the prosperity as it integrates Asian authoritarianism with globalizing capitalism to create economic accomplishments; 2) the political struggles alongside the prosperity as Chinese citizens begin to demand equality, rights, and justice that might be viewed to disturb the continuity of stability and development; and 3) the global implications entailed by the prosperity ー not only in power politics, war and peace, or competitions among nations, but especially on global public goods termed “human security”. Articles included here combine political economic analyses, lens with historical depth, and global concerns to add a perspective that highlights the “paradoxes” of prosperity surrounding the ongoing debate on the rise of China and its global ramifications.Readers will find an analysis that goes beyond the dichotomy viewing the rise of China either in positive or negative perspectives. Investigations on the internal dilemmas and the global implications of the rise of China are well-situated in the historical context of China's own search for modernization since the late 19th century. This is one of the few books in which China's rise is examined from a global perspective, rather than from a national perspective (of China, the United States or any other specific nation) ー a global perspective that addresses the challenges facing all human societies with the rise of China.</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。

Paradoxes et v?rit?s【電子書籍】[ Alain Hussenot ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Ce recueil d'aphorismes pr?sente une succession de paradoxes et de v?rit?s.</p> <p>Stricto sensu, un paradoxe est une affirmation qui va contre (para) une opinion (doxa). L'id?e de v?rit?, elle, est une valeur de confiance absolue ou un r?sultat calcul? que rien ne peut contrarier en fonction des crit?res sur lesquels on s'appuie pour l'?noncer.</p> <p>Par exemple le "Je pense donc je suis" de Descartes est une v?rit? absolue de sa philosophie parce que cette affirmation est claire et distincte, c'est-?-dire ?vidente. Ces trois adjectifs sont les crit?res de v?rit? de ce penseur. Et en effet, pour penser, il faut ?tre.</p> <p>En revanche l'expression : "Je suis un menteur" est un paradoxe, parce que si, quand je l'?nonce, je ne mens pas, elle est vraie, mais si je mens en l'?non?ant, elle devient fausse. Elle est donc bien "paradoxale".</p> <p>La vie quotidienne est remplie de paradoxes et de v?rit?s. Cela vient de ce que les hommes, les femmes et les enfants existent entre le pass? et le futur. Cette situation est INTERM?DIAIRE.</p> <p>L'homme pense comme il vit. Il a donc besoin de naviguer entre les v?rit?s et les erreurs, ce qui l'oblige ? "faire avec" des id?es, des paroles et des actions "paradoxales" : il ne peut pas faire autrement.</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。

Academic Life in the Measured University Pleasures, Paradoxes and Politics【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>While a life in academia is still one bestowed with enormous privilege and opportunity, on the inside, its cracks and fragility have been on display for some time. We see evidence of this in researchers bemoaning time spent applying for grants rather than doing research; teachers frustrated at the ways student feedback data are deployed to feed judgements about them; and doctoral students realising that they have little chance of securing full-time academic work. Yet in the public policy domain, the opposite appears true: academics left to their own devices in their elite ivory towers, rarely ever do enough.</p> <p>This collection addresses the fact that academic life deserves to be rigorously researched. Its emphasis on the <em>measured</em> university traces <em>how</em> academic life had ceded itself to the logics of perverse measures, and raises questions about whether the contemporary university may well have become <em>too measured</em> to adequately counter the political times now upon us. The contributors explore the ways in which measurement inhabits paradoxical positions in these spaces. It sketches the contours and consequences of mismeasurement, including the personal costs to academic staff. It examines our desires and fumbled efforts at institutional transformation, and it puts on display our own ethical conduct. The collection concludes with a call to chart a course for a revitalized moral economy of academic labour.</p> <p>This book was originally published as a special issue of <em>Higher Education Research & Development.</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。
