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. The criteria may apply to a single outstanding outcome or a lifetime of significant achievements in effecting successful systems.＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞Comments on a previous version of the book:＜/p＞＜p＞Russ Ackoff: ‘the book is the best overview of the field I have seen’＜/p＞＜p＞JP van Gigch: ‘Jackson does a masterful job.

Written in a caustic tone that intertwines humor with profound cynicism, this work invites readers into a labyrinth of definitions that challenge conventional understanding.

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

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

Critical theory and feeling The affective politics of the early Frankfurt School【電子書籍】[ Simon Mussell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This bookoffers a unique and timely reading of the early Frankfurt School in response to the recent ‘affective turn’ within the arts and humanities. Resisting the overly rationalist tendencies of political philosophy, it argues that critical theory actively cultivates a powerful connection between thinking and feeling, and rediscovers a range of often neglected concepts that were of vital importance to the first generation of critical theorists, including melancholia, hope, (un)happiness, objects and mimesis. In doing so, it brings the dynamic work of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch and Siegfried Kracauer into conversation with more recent debates around politics and affect. An important intervention in the fields of affect studies and social and political thought, ＜em＞Critical theory and feeling＜/em＞ shows that sensuous experience is at the heart of the Frankfurt School’s affective 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。	4,106円

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. And catch some weasels in their tracks!＜/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。	933円

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

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. The book employs a systematic and critical approach, utilizing historical analysis, textual criticism, and philosophical inquiry to dissect the legends surrounding Jesus. Holbach's work is notable for its bold secular stance at a time when religious dogma dominated European thought, offering a significant contribution to the development of modern biblical criticism.

This seminal work is recommended for readers interested in theological debates, Enlightenment philosophy, and the historical analysis of religious texts. It invites a reconsideration of Jesus' life and legacy, making it an essential read for scholars, theologians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the intersection between religion and reason.

Assimilate A critical history of industrial music【電子書籍】[ Alexander Reed ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞≪ Industriel ≫ est une ?pith?te que les fans et les critiques appliquent ? une grande vari?t? de musiques - le battement sur des bidons de Einst?rzende Neubauten, le grognement ?lectronique de Throbbing Gristle, le cliquetis rythmique en boucle de Skinny Puppy et les compositions synthpop de VNV Nation, pour ne citer que quelques groupes. Mais l'ampleur stylistique et la long?vit? de cette contre-culture musicale sugg?rent que le terrain commun pourrait bien ne pas ?tre un son particulier, mais plut?t un r?seau d'id?ologies. Ce livre retrace les attitudes et les pratiques de la musique industrielle, depuis ses premi?res articulations - il y a cent ans -, durant les ann?es pr?figurant le genre, puis les ann?es 70, jusqu'? son d?veloppement d'aujourd'hui et de demain. S'inspirant d'intellectuels radicaux comme Antonin Artaud, William S. Burroughs et Guy Debord, les musiciens de l'indus ont toujours cherch? ? d?manteler les hypoth?ses culturelles si normalis?es par les m?dias, le gouvernement et la religion qu'elles en sont devenues invisibles. Plus extr?me que le punk, la musique industrielle s'est r?volt?e contre les id?es m?mes d'ordre et de raison : elle a cherch? ? ?radiquer le lavage de cerveau qu'est l'identit? elle-m?me. Elle a aspir? ? provoquer, ? ?tonner et ? hurler, par souci d'ind?pendance. Bien s?r, que cette r?volution ait fonctionn? ou pas est une autre question. Assimilate est la premi?re ?tude universitaire jamais publi?e sur la musique industrielle. ? travers des interventions ?clair?es de musiciens, d'amateurs, de professionnels du marketing, de cartographies urbaines et l'?tude de morceaux, cet ouvrage retrace les valeurs, les m?thodes et les buts de la musique industrielle au cours de quarante ann?es de changements technologiques, politiques et artistiques. Musicologue ?rudit et lui-m?me musicien indus, S. Alexander Reed apporte un regard profond non seulement sur l'histoire de ce genre, mais aussi sur ses rapports ambigus avec les symboles du totalitarisme et du mal.
