His experiences as a soldier, journalist, and editor informed his worldview, allowing him to craft biting critiques of humanity's foibles.

Readers eager for a thought-provoking journey through language and philosophy will find "The Cynic's Word Book" a compelling read. Bierce's clever interpretations prompt reflection on the absurdities of existence, making it a significant addition to any literary collection.

 Justification and Emancipation The Critical Theory of Rainer Forst【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This work is both an introduction to and a critical appraisal of the work of Rainer Forst, one of the most important political theorists in Germany today. Structured for classroom use, this collection of original essays engages with Forst’s extant corpus in ways that are both appreciative and critical.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Forst is an original, prolific, and widely known member of the “fourth generation” of Frankfurt School theorists. His significant contributions include a Rawlsian-Habermasian conception of justice that takes seriously the dissent of citizens and moral agents; an original interpretation and analysis of the concept of toleration; and, most recently, a generative idea of “noumenal power,” to which every human being has a claim by virtue of their equal standing within the moral community of all rational beings. Opening with an essay by Forst on the normative conception of progress and closing with a reply to his critics, this volume is both a primer on and a window into the latest contributions to the tradition of critical theory.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In addition to the editors, the contributors include John Christman, Mattias Iser, Catherine Lu, John P. McCormick, Sarah Clark Miller, and Melissa Yates.＜/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。 | 4,136円 |

 The Modern Literary Werewolf A Critical Study of the Mutable Motif【電子書籍】[ Brent A. Stypczynski ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Throughout history, from at least as far back as the ＜em＞Epic of Gilgamesh＜/em＞, mankind has shown a fascination with physical transformation--especially that of humans into animals. Tales of such transformations appear in every culture across the course of history. They have been featured in the Western world in the work of such authors as Ovid, Petronius, Marie de France, Saint Augustine, Jack Williamson, Charles de Lint, Charaline Harris, Terry Pratchett, and J. K. Rowling.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book approaches werewolves as representations of a proposed shape-shifter archetype, examining, with reference to earlier sources, how and why the archetype has been employed in modern literature. Although the archetype is in a state of flux by its very definition, many common threads are linked throughout the literary landscape even as modern authors add, modify, and reinvent characteristics and meanings. This is especially true in the work of such authors examined in this book, many of whom have struck a chord with a wide range of readers and non-readers around the world. They seem to have tapped into something that affects their audiences on a subconscious level.＜/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。 | 2,652円 |
 Critical Thinking Now Practical Teaching Methods for Classrooms around the World【電子書籍】[ Nancy Burkhalter ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Today’s curricula can (and should) incorporate critical thinking methods because they are the means by which people best understand, learn, and retain higher level concepts. Contrary to what many professional trainers assume, teaching critical thinking is not achieved by shoveling facts at an audience through lecturing or multiple choice testing. It requires sustained, finely tuned teaching and assessment methods. This book lays out a blueprint to do just that. Specifically, it outlines the necessary components of a critical thinking classroom and provides assessment techniques and ample exercises adaptable to any student’s field, age, or level of education.＜br /＞ Often not considered are those learners schooled in a non-Western culture and not proficient in the presenter’s language. These audiences can create invisible barriers to instruction. Without understanding these pitfalls, trainers invite frustration and failure, and risk wasting everyone’s time and money because they were unaware any problem existed. The book addresses these linguistic, cultural, and cognitive obstacles and suggests several solutions, whether you teach these students on your home turf or theirs.＜/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。 | 3,130円 |

Or, A Critical Inquiry into the History of Jesus of Nazareth," Baron d' Paul Henri Thiry Holbach presents a provocative examination of the historical figure of Jesus, challenging traditional narratives through a rationalist lens of the Enlightenment.

 Critical Systems Thinking and the Management of Complexity【電子書籍】[ Michael C. Jackson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞From the winner of the INCOSE Pioneer Award 2022＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The world has become increasingly networked and unpredictable. Decision makers at all levels are required to manage the consequences of complexity every day. They must deal with problems that arise unexpectedly, generate uncertainty, are characterised by interconnectivity, and spread across traditional boundaries. Simple solutions to complex problems are usually inadequate and risk exacerbating the original issues.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Leaders of international bodies such as the UN, OECD, UNESCO and WHO ー and of major business, public sector, charitable, and professional organizations ー have all declared that systems thinking is an essential leadership skill for managing the complexity of the economic, social and environmental issues that confront decision makers. Systems thinking must be implemented more generally, and on a wider scale, to address these issues.＜/p＞ ＜p＞An evaluation of different systems methodologies suggests that they concentrate on different aspects of complexity. To be in the best position to deal with complexity, decision makers must understand the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches and learn how to employ them in combination. This is called critical systems thinking. Making use of over 25 case studies, the book offers an account of the development of systems thinking and of major efforts to apply the approach in real-world interventions. Further, it encourages the widespread use of critical systems practice as a means of ensuring responsible leadership in a complex world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The INCOSE Pioneer Award is presented to someone who, by their achievements in the engineering of systems, has contributed uniquely to major products or outcomes enhancing society or meeting its needs.

 A Field Guide to Lies Critical Thinking with Statistics and the Scientific Method【電子書籍】[ Daniel J. Levitin ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**Winner of the National Business Book Award＜/p＞ ＜p＞From the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestselling author of ＜em＞The Organized Mind＜/em＞ and ＜em＞This Is Your Brain on Music＜/em＞, a primer to the critical thinking that is more necessary now than ever**＜/p＞ ＜p＞We are bombarded with more information each day than our brains can processーespecially in election season. It's raining bad data, half-truths, and even outright lies. ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestselling author Daniel J. Levitin shows how to recognize misleading announcements, statistics, graphs, and written reports, revealing the ways lying weasels can use them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's becoming harder to separate the wheat from the digital chaff. How do we distinguish misinformation, pseudo-facts, and distortions from reliable information? Levitin groups his field guide into two categoriesーstatistical information and faulty argumentsーultimately showing how science is the bedrock of critical thinking. Infoliteracy means understanding that there are hierarchies of source quality and bias that variously distort our information feeds via every media channel, including social media. We may expect newspapers, bloggers, the government, and Wikipedia to be factually and logically correct, but they so often aren't. We need to think critically about the words and numbers we encounter if we want to be successful at work, at play, and in making the most of our lives. This means checking the plausibility and reasoningーnot passively accepting information, repeating it, and making decisions based on it. Readers learn to avoid the extremes of passive gullibility and cynical rejection. Levitin's charming, entertaining, accessible guide can help anyone wake up to a whole lot of things that aren't so.

 Critical Americans Victorian Intellectuals and Transatlantic Liberal Reform【電子書籍】[ Leslie Butler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In this intellectual history of American liberalism during the second half of the nineteenth century, Leslie Butler examines a group of nationally prominent and internationally oriented writers who sustained an American tradition of self-consciously progressive and cosmopolitan reform. She addresses how these men established a critical perspective on American racism, materialism, and jingoism in the decades between the 1850s and the 1890s while she recaptures their insistence on the ability of ordinary citizens to work toward their limitless potential as intelligent and moral human beings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the core of Butler’s study are the writers George William Curtis, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, James Russell Lowell, and Charles Eliot Norton, a quartet of friends who would together define the humane liberalism of America’s late Victorian middle class. In creative engagement with such British intellectuals as John Stuart Mill, Thomas Carlyle, Matthew Arnold, Leslie Stephen, John Ruskin, James Bryce, and Goldwin Smith, these “critical Americans” articulated political ideals and cultural standards to suit the burgeoning mass democracy the Civil War had created. This transatlantic framework informed their notions of educative citizenship, print-based democratic politics, critically informed cultural dissemination, and a temperate, deliberative foreign policy. Butler argues that a careful reexamination of these strands of late nineteenth-century liberalism can help enrich a revitalized liberal tradition at the outset of the twenty-first century.＜/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。 | 4,227円 |

 Critical Discourse Studies and Technology A Multimodal Approach to Analysing Technoculture【電子書籍】[ Dr Ian Roderick ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Making a new contribution to the developing field of multimodal critical discourse studies, Ian Roderick's book demonstrates how technologies that tend to be widely represented as innovative, or as simple pragmatic solutions, are always anchored in power relations and are therefore deeply ideological.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A series of examples analysing technologies such as robotics, smart phones or bio-medicine, their functioning and uses, as well as their representations in the media, show that these are embedded within discourses that tell us about ＜em＞social and power relations＜/em＞, ＜em＞identities＜/em＞ and ＜em＞political values＜/em＞. The book takes a tour of everyday technologies and how they are represented in different settings. A Disney theme park attraction showing how technology has improved family life makes many assumptions about what is natural in terms of interpersonal relations, pleasure and satisfaction. Advertisements that represent robot workers inform us about the kinds of worker-management relations now characterising work places. Roderick looks at the way that technologies, while often represented as divorced from their production and maintenance, as objects of wonder, need to be seen within a fabric of social relations that tends to be supressed from how we see them as part of a wider technological fetishism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Engaging with existing theories of technology, the book argues that we must take a more interdisciplinary approach to avoid the pitfalls of social constructivism and technological determinism. Our experiences of technologies are shaped through the relationship between knowledge, practices and institutional forms.＜/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。 | 25,372円 |
 Phaethon: Loose Thoughts for Loose Thinkers Challenging Conventions and Embracing Critical Thinking in 19th Century Literature【電子書籍】[ Charles Kingsley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Phaethon: Loose Thoughts for Loose Thinkers," Charles Kingsley presents a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that meanders through the intersections of mythology, philosophy, and social critique. Drawing from the ancient Greek myth of Phaethon, who recklessly attempts to drive the sun chariot, Kingsley explores themes of ambition, responsibility, and the quest for knowledge. His literary style is characterized by a blend of poetic prose and incisive commentary, reflecting the Victorian preoccupation with moral and cultural dilemmas while engaging with the evolving scientific discourse of the era. This work stands as a testament to the intellectual ferment of the mid-19th century, offering rich insights into the tensions between faith and reason. Charles Kingsley (1819-1875), a prominent Victorian author, clergyman, and social reformer, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous changes of his time, including the rise of industrialization and the challenges to traditional beliefs. His varied career as a novelist, historian, and naturalist provided him with a nuanced understanding of the societal issues at hand. Kingsley'??s own experiences, combined with his passion for social justice, informed many of the themes found in "Phaethon," as he sought to reconcile faith with contemporary thought and advocate for moral introspection. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a rich exploration of philosophical ideas through an engaging narrative lens. Kingsley's unique voice and insightful reflections invite readers to delve into the complexities of human thought and the moral imperatives that guide our actions. "Phaethon" is not merely a philosophical treatise; it is a call to self-examination and responsible action that resonates with the ongoing discourse surrounding knowledge and ethics today.＜/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 |

 Islam, Liberalism, and Ontology A Critical Re-evaluation【電子書籍】[ Joseph J. Kaminski ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book offers comparative ontologies of both Islam and liberalism as discourses more broadly construed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author argues that, despite recent efforts to speak of overlapping consensuses and discursive congruence, the fundamental categories that constitute "Islam" and "Liberalism" remain very different, and that these differences should be taken seriously. Thus far, no recent scholarly works have explicitly or meticulously broken down where these differences lie. The author rigorously explores questions related to rights, moral epistemologies, the role of religion in the public sphere, and more general approaches to legal discourse, via primary and canonical sources constitutive of both Islam and liberalism. He then goes on to articulate why communitarian modes of thought are better suited for engaging with Islam and contemporary socio-political modes of organization than liberalism is.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of politics and international relations, Islam, liberalism, and communitarianism.＜/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。 | 9,616円 |

 World Cinema A Critical Introduction【電子書籍】[ Shekhar Deshpande ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞World Cinema: A Critical Introduction＜/em＞ is a comprehensive yet accessible guide to film industries across the globe. From the 1980s onwards, new technologies and increased globalization have radically altered the landscape in which films are distributed and exhibited. Films are made from the large-scale industries of India, Hollywood, and Asia, to the small productions in Bhutan and Morocco. They are seen in multiplexes, palatial art cinemas in Cannes, traveling theatres in rural India, and on millions of hand-held mobile screens.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Authors Deshpande and Mazaj have developed a method of charting this new world cinema that makes room for divergent perspectives, traditions, and positions, while also revealing their interconnectedness and relationships of meaning. In doing so, they bring together a broad range of issues and examplesーtheoretical concepts, viewing and production practices, film festivals, large industries such as Nollywood and Bollywood, and smaller and emerging film culturesーinto a systemic yet flexible map of world cinema.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The multi-layered approach of this book aims to do justice to the depth, dynamism, and complexity of the phenomenon of world cinema. For students looking to films outside of their immediate context, this book offers a blueprint that will enable them to transform a casual encounter with a film into a systematic inquiry into world cinema.＜/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。 | 12,103円 |
