Foundations of Futures Studies Volume 2: Values, Objectivity, and the Good Society【電子書籍】[ Wendell Bell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Futures studies is a new field of inquiry involving systematic and explicit thinking about alternative futures. Wendell Bell's two-volume work Foundations of Futures Studies is widely acknowledged as the fundamental work on the subject. In Volume 2, Bell goes beyond possible and probable futures to the study of preferable futures. He shows that concern with ethics, morality, and human values follows directly from the futurist purposes of discovering or inventing, examining, and proposing desirable futures. He examines moral judgments as an inescapable aspect of all decision-making and conscious action, even in the everyday lives of ordinary people.Now available in paperback with a new preface from the author, Volume 2 of Foundations of Futures Studies moves beyond cultural relativism to critical evaluation. Bell compares depictions of the good society by utopian writers, describes objective methods of moral judgment, assesses religion and law as sources of what is morally right, documents the existence of universal human values, and shows that if human beings are to thrive in the global society of the future, some human values must be changed.</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。

<p><strong>Wendell Berry has never been afraid to speak up for the dispossessed. <em>The Need to Be Whole</em> continues the work he began in <em>The Hidden Wound</em> (1970) and The <em>Unsettling of America</em> (1977), demanding a careful exploration of this hard, shared truth: The wealth of the mighty few governing this nation has been built on the unpaid labor of others.</strong></p> <p>Without historical understanding of this practice of dispossessionーthe displacement of Native peoples, the destruction of both the land and land-based communities, ongoing racial divisionーwe are doomed to continue industrialism’s assault on both the natural world and every sacred American ideal. Berry writes, “To deal with so great a problem, the best idea may not be to go ahead in our present state of unhealth to more disease and more product development. It may be that our proper first resort should be to history: to see if the truth we need to pursue might be behind us where we have ceased to look.” If there is hope for us, this is it: that we honestly face our past and move into a future guided by the natural laws of affection. This book furthers Mr. Berry’s part in what is surely our country’s most vital conversation.</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。

Leavings Poems【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A stunning collection of poems and other writings on love, nature, spirituality, and hopeーfrom the award-winning Kentucky writer who “returned American poetry to a Wordsworthian clarity of purpose” (<em>New York Times Book Review</em>)</strong></p> <p>No one writes like Wendell Berry. Whether essay, novel, story, or poem, his inimitable voice rings true, as natural as the land he has farmed in Kentucky for over forty years.</p> <p>Following the widely praised <em>Given</em>, this new collection offers a masterful blend of epigrams, elegies, lyrics, and letters, with the occasional short love poem. Alternately amused, outraged, and resigned, Berry’s welcome voice is the constant in this varied mix. The book concludes with a new sequence of Sabbath poems, works that have spawned from Berry’s Sunday morning walks of meditation and observation.</p> <p>Berry’s themes are reflections of his life: friends, family, the farm, the nature around us as well as within. He speaks strongly for himself and sometimes for the lost heart of the country. As he has borne witness to the world for eight decades, what he offers us now in this collection of poems is of incomparable value.</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。

Tale of Two Dogs: The Rhadmanthy Gambit【電子書籍】[ Wendell A. Yitis ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The religious faction of the GOP reacts to a deadly threat by transforming the party into a religious one. Starting with Georgia, they institute predator and community safety laws based upon church membership with the pastor assuming oversight of his flock. This involves housing, jobs, medical matters and pensions; he has total control. All residents not church affiliated are controlled and the Supreme Court rules that internal state laws are sacrosanct; thus other states enact similar laws. The result is that lobbyist money and business pandering is no longer necessary and the economy goes completely local meaning that out of state ownership ends, money stays local and there is a total withdrawal from global business and imports. Small town simple life America returns. The Christianizing movement spreads into other Republican controlled states. America isolates itself and solves the terrorist problem, full employment results and there is no housing problem.</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。

Citizenship Papers Essays【電子書籍】[ Wendell Berry ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>"[Berry's] refusal to abandon the local for the global, to sacrifice neighborliness, community integrity, and economic diversity for access to Walmart, has never seemed more appealing, nor his questions of personal accountability more powerful."ー<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p> <p>There are those in America today who seem to feel we must audition for our citizenship, with "patriot" offered as the badge for those found narrowly worthy. Let this book stand as Wendell Berry's application, for he is one of those faithful, devoted critics envisioned by the Founding Fathers to be the life's blood and very future of the nation they imagined.</p> <p><em>Citizenship Papers</em> collects nineteen new essays, from celebrations of exemplary lives to critiques of American life, including "A Citizen's Response [to the new National Security Strategy]"ーa ringing call of caution to a nation standing on the brink of global catastrophe.</p> <p>**"The courage of a book, it has been said, is that it looks away from nothing. Here is a brave book." ー<em>The Charlotte Observer</em></p> <p>"Berry says that these recent essays mostly say again what he has said before. His faithful readers may think he hasn't, however, said any of it better before."ー<em>Booklist</em> (starred review)**</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。
