從「尊明」到「奉清」──朝鮮王朝對清意識之?變,1627-1910 From "Honoring the Ming" to "Submitting to the Qing" : The Transformation ofChos?n Korea's Attitude towards Qing China, 1627-1910【電子書籍】[ 孫衛國 ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>一部近三百年的清韓宗藩關係史,<br /> 正是朝鮮王朝由「尊明貶清」到「尊明奉清」的演變史。</strong></p> <p>西元1637年,?經南漢山城盟約之後,朝鮮成為清朝的藩國,雙方關係被視為「典型的朝貢關係」。但秉承「尊華攘夷」儒家觀念的朝鮮,在明、清朝代更迭中表現得非常強烈,只認同明朝為中華,把清朝視作夷狄,且自稱「小中華」。這種思想的交鋒如何影響朝鮮對清朝的態度?以及,朝鮮又如何在「北學派」興起後,逐?改變對清朝的看法?</p> <p>本書是作者十餘年來清代中朝關係史研究的薈萃之作。全書分上、下兩編。上編八章,將政治史、思想史與外交史結合起來,選取一些關鍵性專題,如「小中華」思想、箕子崇拜、關王廟、「復讎雪恥」理念、丁未漂流人事件等,共時性地?示了朝鮮對清觀由「尊明貶清」到「尊明奉清」的演變。</p> <p>下編六章,以朝鮮燕行使洪大容、「北學派」人士 、洪良浩、李尚迪、朴珪壽、金允植等與清人交往的情況,?時性地考察朝鮮對清觀的?變。在思想觀念上,儘管朝鮮長期堅守「尊明」理念;隨著現實的變化,朝鮮漸漸將「貶清」變成了「奉清」,近代仰仗清朝去對抗西方與日本的侵擾,正是典型的體現。</p> <p>The book, which embodies a deeply-researched discourse on the history of Sino-Korean relations in the Qing Dynasty, consists of two parts. Part I, which has eight chapters and combines political history, intellectual history, diplomatic history, and some other key topics such as the concept of Little China, Kijia worship, Guanwang Temple, the ideology of taking revenge for the insult, discusses the evolution of Chos?n Korean’s attitudes towards Qing dynasty from honoring the Ming to submitting to the Qing.</p> <p>Part II of the book, consisting of six chapters, focuses on Korea’s gradually changing attitude towards Qing China through examining the contacts of Korean envoys to Beijing (Hong Dae-yong, the members of Pukhakka, Hong Yang-ho, Yi Sang-j?k, Pak Kyu-su, and Kim Yun-sik) with the Qing people.</p> <p>In terms of ideology, although Chos?n Korea had long since adhered to the concept of “Honoring the Ming”, in reality it gradually turned the idea of despising the Qing into one of submitting to the Qing since it had to rely on Qing China to resist the intrusion of the West and Japan. This change in ideology was a reflection of the changed reality.</p> <p>● ?讀〈見證明朝的時刻〉書評於「政府出版品資訊網」</p> <p>● 本書入圍2019 ICAS11最佳中文書籍</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。 3,059円

Beyond Bureaucracy Towards Sustainable Governance Informatisation【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book examines the role of bureaucracy in modern technologically advanced societies, the traditional models of governance, and the potential of information technology to fundamentally change and improve governance. In the area of public-domain governance, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have empowered public agencies to improve their activities and to strengthen the efficiency of their operations. Technology has enabled optimized transfer of knowledge and information between government agencies, more efficient supervision and control of relationships with citizens, and higher efficiency in law enforcement through better access to information. Throughout the last decades, technology has been used to strengthen the role of state bureaucracies and the relationship between the civil service and the citizens. We have witnessed the transformative powers of ICTs in private-sector enterprises in well-structured technological landscapes, which has produced new ecosystems comprised of software developers, providers, and consumers who provide and consume new products and services in ecosystems that are based on clear technological standards and shared modular generic artefacts, which allow for distributed peer production. ICTs will shape cultural and civic discourse and create products, services and tools, relying on the open toolsets, technologies and exchange of knowledge between peers. This book will be of particular interest to government CIOs, IT/IS managers, researchers, students, and practitioners in technical sciences, public administration, business management, public policy and IS management.</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。 15,800円

Community Participation with Schools in Developing Countries Towards Equitable and Inclusive Basic Education for All【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (2016-2030) set by the United Nations in 2015 restated the importance of universal primary education for all, and specifically discuss quality, equity, and inclusion in basic education. To achieve this, the role of community has been emphasized and participation has become a "buzzword" in international development over the past several decades. Despite the growing attention to community participation in school management, previous literature has shown mixed results in terms of its actual practice and its impacts on quality, equity, and inclusion in education.</p> <p>This book deepens the contextual understanding of community in developing countries and its involvement in schools in general, and its impact on quality, equity, and inclusion of school education in particular. By presenting various case studies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and a post-conflict state in Europe, the book analyses commonalities and differences in the ways communities are involved and cast their impacts and challenges. The book contributes knowledge on the ways in which community involvement could work in developing countries, the detailed processes and factors that make community participation work in different dimensions, and remaining challenges that scholars and practitioners still need to be concerned and mindful in the field.</p> <p>This book will appeal to both researchers and practitioners who are concerned about the community participation approach for the SDGs.</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。 8,866円

Emergent Technologies and Design Towards a Biological Paradigm for Architecture【電子書籍】[ Michael Hensel ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Emergence - the process by which new and coherent structures, patterns and properties ‘emerge’ from within complex systems</em></p> <p>Traditional architecture starts from the premise that architectural structures are singular and fixed, and however well integrated are separate from their environment and context. Emergence requires that the opposite is true ? that those structures are complex energy and material systems that have a lifespan, exist as part of an environment of other active systems, and develop in an evolutionary way.</p> <p>This book, based on the authors’ internationally renowned Emergent Technologies and Design course at the Architectural Association in London, introduces a new approach to the practice of architecture. The authors use essays and projects to demonstrate the interrelationship of concepts such as emergence and self-organisation with the latest technologies in design, manufacturing and construction.</p> <p>With projects from their course, and critiques and commentary from some of the world’s leading design theorists and practitioners, the authors of Emergent Technologies and Design have introduced a radical new way of understanding the way in which architecture is conceived, designed and produced.</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。 11,768円

Marx, Uno and the Critique of Economics Towards an Ex-Capitalist Transition【電子書籍】[ Thomas T. Sekine ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This unique book, written in a question and answer style, brings to life the work of the world’s foremost Marxian economist Thomas T. Sekine on the scientificity of Marx’s project in <em>Capital</em>, its applicability to navigating world-historic change across capitalist stages of development and what Marxian economics teaches us about building viable future historical societies. Sekine, a student and follower of Marxist Kozo Uno, argues that capitalism neither constitutes the end of history nor does its overthrow await socialist revolution. Rather, based upon its own historical delimitations capitalism, following World War I and the Great Depression of the 1930s, has entered a period of disintegration. Grounded on a scathing critique of bourgeois economics in all its forms, Sekine exposes the futility of bourgeois policy interventions attempting to revive capitalism. This book will be of interest to economists in both the mainstream and heterodox schools, and those broadly interested in the history of economic thought.</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。 14,585円

The DRiP then runs two members of the KRT for POTUS and VPOTUS, with surprising results. In the end, Talia, on the lam after a court finds her guilty of finagling the ownership of her hotel, plots a new religion in which the goal of life will be to avoid both hell and heaven and find happiness in a third option.</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。 150円

Slouching Towards Utopia An Economic History of the Twentieth Century【電子書籍】[ J. Bradford DeLong ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**An instant <em>New York Times</em> and <em>Wall Street Journal</em> bestseller from one of the world’s leading economists, offering a grand narrative of the century that made us richer than ever, but left us unsatisfied</p> <p>“A magisterial history.”ーPaul Krugman</p> <p>Named a Best Book of 2022 by <em>Financial Times</em> * <em>Economist</em> * <em>Fast Company</em>**</p> <p>Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would have used such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. When 1870?2010 ended, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression, uncertainty, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo.</p> <p>Economist Brad DeLong’s <em>Slouching Towards Utopia</em> tells the story of how this unprecedented explosion of material wealth occurred, how it transformed the globe, and why it failed to deliver us to utopia. Of remarkable breadth and ambition, it reveals the last century to have been less a march of progress than a slouch in the right direction.</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。 2,291円

Hints towards the formation of a more comprehensive theory of life Exploring life's interconnected essence through poetic philosophy【電子書籍】[ Samuel Taylor Coleridge ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Hints Towards the Formation of a More Comprehensive Theory of Life," Samuel Taylor Coleridge presents a profound exploration of the interconnectedness of life, philosophy, and science. Written against the backdrop of the early 19th century, a time when the Romantic movement was redefining the relationship between nature and human experience, Coleridge's work employs a blend of lyrical prose and philosophical inquiry. He critically examines the limits of mechanistic explanations of life, advocating for a holistic understanding that incorporates both the scientific and the spiritual dimensions of existence. Through his innovative use of metaphor and imagery, Coleridge articulates a vision where art, nature, and science coalesce into a singular, dynamic reality. A leading figure of the Romantic era, Coleridge's background as a poet and philosopher informs his writing in this treatise. His interactions with contemporaries such as William Wordsworth, along with his deep engagement with German idealism, shaped his thoughts on life and its underlying principles. Coleridge's struggles with personal and existential questions resonate throughout his work, offering insights that transcend his own time and speak to universal human experiences. This thought-provoking text is especially recommended for readers interested in the intersections of literature, philosophy, and science. Coleridge's reflections serve not only as academic inquiries but also as an invitation to contemplate the deeper meanings of life itself. His ability to synthesize complex ideas in an accessible manner makes this book a valuable addition to the library of any seeker of wisdom.</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。 310円

Asexuality and Freudian-Lacanian Psychoanalysis Towards a Theory of an Enigma【電子書籍】[ Kevin Murphy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Asexuality and Freudian-Lacanian Psychoanalysis: Towards a Theory of an Enigma</strong> proposes that asexuality is a libidinally founded <em>desire for no sexual desire</em>, a concept not included in psychoanalytic theory up to now.</p> <p>"Asexuality" is defined as the experience of having no sexual attraction for another person; as an emerging self-defined sexual orientation, it has received practically no attention from psychoanalytic research. This book is the first sustained piece of exploratory and theoretical research from a Freudian-Lacanian perspective. Using Freudian concepts to understand the intricacies of human sexual desire, this volume will also employ Lacanian conceptual tools to understand how asexuality might sustain itself despite the absence of Other-directed sexual desire. This book argues that asexuality holds a mirror to contemporary sexualized society which assumes sexual attraction and eroticism as the benchmarks for experiencing sexual desire. It also argues that asexuality may be a previously unrecognized form of human sexuality which can contribute new understandings to the range and breadth of what it means to be a sexual being.</p> <p>This book will be of interest to anyone in the area of asexuality or sexuality ? psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, university lecturers, researchers, students or those simply curious about the possibilities of the human sex drive.</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。 7,244円

My Religion A Journey Towards Spiritual Enlightenment【電子書籍】[ Leo graf Tolstoy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "My Religion," Leo Tolstoy presents a profound exploration of spirituality, ethics, and the nature of faith. Written in the context of his own spiritual awakening and disenchantment with institutionalized religion, the book weaves philosophical discourse with personal narrative. Tolstoy'??s literary style in this work is both contemplative and didactic, employing straightforward prose to convey complex ideas about the moral imperatives of love, compassion, and the quest for truth. The text critiques the dogmas of organized religion, advocating instead for a personal and existential understanding of faith that resonates with universal human experience. Leo Tolstoy, a titan of Russian literature, was profoundly impacted by his personal struggles with faith, social injustices, and the search for meaning in an increasingly materialistic world. Having experienced a spiritual crisis in the later years of his life, he sought to articulate the essence of his beliefs, which reject superficial religious practices in favor of a deeper, lived spirituality. His lifelong commitment to moral integrity and social reform undeniably informs the themes of "My Religion." Readers seeking a thoughtful examination of spirituality will find "My Religion" both enlightening and challenging. Tolstoy'??s reflections serve not only as a guide toward personal morality but also as an invitation to question established beliefs. This book is essential for those interested in philosophy, theology, or the human condition, encouraging critical engagement with one'??s own faith and ethical stance.</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。 150円

Socialism in Marx’s Capital Towards a Dealienated World【電子書籍】[ Paresh Chattopadhyay ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book explores how Marx envisaged society after capital(ism) by a close examination of the idea of socialism in the text(s) of <em>Capital</em>. Going beyond Marx’s critique of the Gotha Programme, Paresh Chattopadhyay challenges those who leave <em>Capital</em> aside in discussions of socialism in Marx’s works on the grounds that it is uniquely preoccupied with the critical analysis of capitalism. Instead, Chattopadhyay shows how Marx, in <em>Capital</em>, considered capitalism as a simple transitional society preparing the advent of socialism envisioned as an association of free and equal individuals.</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。 13,369円

Green Obsession Trees Towards Cities, Humans Towards Forests【電子書籍】[ Stefano Boeri Architetti ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Green Obsession traces the long path that architect Stefano Boeri and his studio - Stefano Boeri Architetti - have followed in the last fifteen years of practice, aiming at the redefinition of the relationship between city and nature. The book follows a discursive thread, alternating dialogues and scientific essays by some of the main protagonists who have contributed to widening the perspective on this subject, helping to raise awareness while protecting the world and its biodiversity.</strong></p> <p>Cities have contributed for centuries to the promotion of some of humanity’s greatest ideas, we must now urgently include them as among the principal players in the environmental debate and at the forefront of any policy tackling and countering ? possibly reversing - climate change. Nevertheless, even today one of the most significant technologies capable of absorbing CO2 and restoring our environment is photosynthesis. Planting trees, in addition to protecting existing natural areas and biodiversity, together with de-carbonization, renewable energies, digitalization, smart mobility and the circular economy could be the set of strategies necessary to tackle climate change.</p> <p>Today the effects of the Anthropocene age are ever more visible, changing our environment and affecting every species that lives within it. Green Obsession offers a path to be taken, a hard but still necessary paradigm shift ? even for architecture and urbanism ? that aims to give a voice to this much needed ecological transition.</p> <p>This book aims to unveil the processes and the complexity involved in the search for a new kind of urbanism, while raising questions and opening old wounds related to the relationship between the human species and Nature and finally putting these fragments together to create a portrait of our era. We need to conceive cities as new green catalysts. Now more than ever, it is essential to act together as separate individuals and professionals, joining the cause as members of the global community with a shared environmental strategy. We all have to open the era of a new alliance between Nature and City.</p> <p>With Contributions from Emanuele Coccia, Jane Goodall, Paul Hawken, Cecil Konijnendijk, David Miller, Harini Nagendra, Giuseppe Sala and Giorgio Vacchiano."</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。 4,442円

National and Regional Symbolic Boundaries in the European Commission Towards an Ever-Closer Union?【電子書籍】[ Daniel Drewski ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The process of European integration and the transfer of political authority from the national to the European level have led to the emergence of a field of EU policy making in Brussels, which attracts professionals and experts from all EU member states. This book contributes to research on the dynamics of social integration unfolding at the heart of this field. Based on in-depth interviews with officials working for the European Commission ? the EU’s supranational organization ? the author explores the perception and negotiation of symbolic boundaries related to their diverse national and regional backgrounds. In line with their cosmopolitan attitudes and role-conception as European civil servants, Commission officials tend to de-emphasize national and regional divisions among them. Nevertheless, subtle symbolic boundaries remain in connection with their diverse organizational cultures, working language preferences, professional values and influence and career prospects. This nuanced account of patterns of social categorization and group-making in a European context will appeal to sociologists with interests in European integration and the emergence of social fields and groups beyond the nation state.</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。 9,434円

Democratizing Public Management Towards Practice-Based Theory【電子書籍】[ Marta Struminska-Kutra ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book argues that contemporary society in general, and public administration specifically, can benefit from more reflexive learning processes through democracy and public involvement. It identifies the most central social practices, dilemmas, and challenges for public management as well as the mechanisms needed to enact institutional change. Offering a model of reflexivity and learning in the face of public dispute, it explores phenomena such as problem solving, democratization, public learning, and uncertainty to address certain tensions in governance theory and practice.</p> <p>Through a range of well-sourced case studies, this book demonstrates how institutions can manage difficult situations by not only resolving the conflict but addressing the underlying problem. It uses both theoretical and practical approaches to observe the micro foundations of political behavior and its institutional underpinnings, and will be a valuable resource for public administration researchers, practitioners, and graduate students seeking empirical studies of learning processes in the public sphere.</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。 9,723円

Justification and Critique Towards a Critical Theory of Politics【電子書籍】[ Rainer Forst ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Rainer Forst develops a critical theory capable of deciphering the deficits and potentials inherent in contemporary political reality. This calls for a perspective which is immanent to social and political practices and at the same time transcends them. Forst regards society as a whole as an ‘order of justification’ comprising complexes of different norms referring to institutions and corresponding practices of justification. The task of a ‘critique of relations of justification’, therefore, is to analyse such legitimations with regard to their validity and genesis and to explore the social and political asymmetries leading to inequalities in the ‘justification power’ which enables persons or groups to contest given justifications and to create new ones.</p> <p>Starting from the concept of justification as a basic social practice, Forst develops a theory of political and social justice, human rights and democracy, as well as of power and of critique itself. In so doing, he engages in a critique of a number of contemporary approaches in political philosophy and critical theory. Finally, he also addresses the question of the utopian horizon of social criticism.</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。 2,958円
