Reading Iris Murdoch's Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Reading Iris Murdoch's Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals was Iris Murdoch''s major philosophical testament and a highly original and ambitious attempt to talk about our time. Yet in the scholarship on her philosophical work thus far it has often been left in the shade of her earlier work. This volume brings together 16 scholars who offer accessible readings of chapters and themes in the book, connecting them to Murdoch''s larger oeuvre, as well as to central themes in 20 th century and contemporary thought. The essays bring forth the strength, originality, and continuing relevance of Murdoch''s late thought, addressing, among other matters, her thinking about the Good, the role and nature of metaphysics in the contemporary world, the roles of art in human understanding, questions of unity and plurality in thinking, the possibilities of spiritual life without God, and questions of style and sensibility in intellectual work.

Becoming an International Manager - Iris Kolesa - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Becoming an International Manager - Iris Kolesa - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The book discusses international assignment-related decision-making by emerging market firms and their employees. It reveals that the ongoing, reciprocal interactions between the organisational and individual discourses, structures, processes, and the wider macro context spark multilevel role transitions and identity work. The book uncovers the macro-, meso-, and micro-level factors of role transitions and identity work, as well as their outcomes for international staffing. It also expands on the role (transition), social categorisation, and social identity theories by applying them to international staffing. Finally, it presents practical insights for international human resources managers by presenting several ''soft'' approaches to managing international employee mobility, such as employer branding, prioritisation of favourable discourses and identities, and encouraging role hybridisation.

The Sin of Writing and the Rise of Modern Hebrew Literature - Iris Parush - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Sin of Writing and the Rise of Modern Hebrew Literature - Iris Parush - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Sin of Writing and the Rise of Modern Hebrew Literature contends that the processes of enlightenment, modernization, and secularization in nineteenth-century Eastern European Jewish society were marked not by a reading revolution but rather by a writing revolution, that is, by a revolutionary change in this society''s attitude toward writing. Combining socio-cultural history and literary studies and drawing on a large corpus of autobiographies, memoirs, and literary works of the period, the book sets out to explain the curious absence of writing skills and Hebrew grammar from the curriculum of the traditional Jewish education system in Eastern Europe. It shows that traditional Jewish society maintained a conspicuously oral literacy culture, colored by fears of writing and suspicions toward publication. It is against this background that the young yeshiva students undergoing enlightenment started to "sin by writing," turning writing and publication in Hebrew into the cornerstone of their constitution as autonomous, enlightened, male Jewish subjects, and setting the foundations for the rise of modern Hebrew literature.

The Parable of the Three Rings and the Idea of Religious Toleration in European Culture - Iris Shagrir - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

The Parable of the Three Rings and the Idea of Religious Toleration in European Culture - Iris Shagrir - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

This book examines the premodern encounter between the three monotheistic religions through the unique prism of a premodern literary work- The Parable of the Three Rings -a poignant and charming tale of a father who had three sons and one precious ring. By tradition he was to bequeath the ring to his heir, but he loved his three sons equally - so he had two new rings made, crafted to be indistinguishable from the original, and on his deathbed gave a ring to each son. The narrator explains that the father is God, and his sons are the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims, each believing themselves to be the sole upholders of the true religion. A historical and literary study, the book offers a comprehensive discussion of the various guises of the Parable, from the early Middle Ages onwards, and highlights its capacity to reflect openness and pluralism in the interfaith encounter.

In an Ideal Business - Santiago Iniguez - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In an Ideal Business - Santiago Iniguez - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Business decisions are not just based on abstract theories or models. They reflect a world view of how a company operates and the philosophy of management that it follows. Even denying any connection between management and values is a philosophical statement in itself. Santiago Iñiguez de Onzoño, President of the prestigious IE Business School, looks to the greatest female philosophers from modern history to help us bring purpose and meaning back into the workplace and management education. He shows how their pioneering work can be applied in specific situations, from Iris Murdoch’s emphasis on compassion to Hannah Arendt’s work on making the world more human, each philosopher can, in a very practical way, help inform your own approach to work and life. Packed with examples, personal stories and anecdotes from some of the world’s most influential companies and women in business, this book examines how the contributions from female philosophers stand up in the real world, helping to drive inclusion, diversity and ultimately, innovation.

Moral Injury and the Promise of Virtue - Joseph Wiinikka Lydon - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Moral Injury and the Promise of Virtue - Joseph Wiinikka Lydon - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book turns to virtue language as an important resource for understanding moral injury, a form of subjectivity where one feels they can no longer strive to be good as a result of wartime experience. Drawing specifically on Iris Murdoch''s moral philosophy, and examining the experiences of civilians during the Bosnian War (1992-5), Joseph Wiinikka-Lydon argues that current research into war and current understandings of subjectivity need new ways to articulate the moral dimension of being a subject if we are to understand how violence affects one''s moral being and development. He develops an understanding of the human person as a tensile moral subject , one that forefronts the moral challenges and vulnerability inherent in lives affected by war. With these resources, Wiinikka-Lydon argues for a moral vocabulary and images of the human as a moral being that can better articulate the experience of violence and moral injury.

New Philosophical Essays on Love and Loving - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

New Philosophical Essays on Love and Loving - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

New philosophical essays on love by a diverse group of international scholars. Topics include contributions to the ongoing debate on whether love is arational or if there are reasons for love, and if so what kind; the kinds of love there may be (between humans and artificial intelligences, between non-human animals and humans); whether love can explain the difference between nationalism and patriotism; whether love is an necessary component of truly seeing others and the world; whether love, like free will, is "fragile," and may not survive in a deterministic world; and whether or not love is actually a good thing or may instead be a force opposed to morality. Key philosophers discussed include Immanuel Kant, Iris Murdoch, Bernard Williams, Harry Frankfurt, J. David Velleman, Niko Kolodny, Thomas Hurka, Bennett Helm, Alfred Mele and Derk Pereboom. Essays also touch on the treatment of love in literature and popular culture, from Graham Greene''s The End of the Affair to Spike Jonze''s movie her .

Decolonial Puerto Rican Women's Writings - Roberta Hurtado - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Decolonial Puerto Rican Women's Writings - Roberta Hurtado - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores representations of sentient-flesh - flesh that holds consciousness of being - in Puerto Rican women''s literature. It considers how different literary devices can participate in the decolonization of the flesh as it is obfuscated by mappings of the ''body'' from the Enlightenment era and colonial endeavors. Drawing on studies of cognitive development and epigenetics to identify how sentient-flesh creates knowledge of power and navigates methods of subversion for social justice, this book grapples with the question of how Puerto Rican women, living in the nation of their colonizer, manifest an identity that exists beyond the scope of colonization. It makes the case for a change in perspective that illustrates the conceptual shift from survivors to thrivers to educators. To do so, it draws upon Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa''s theory in the flesh; Iris Lopez''s theories of trauma-knowledge; and María Lugones''s concept of ''world travelers'' to retain the corporeal flesh and physical location in Latinas'' attempts to write subversion under U.S. colonization across racial, cultural, and ethnic boundaries, as well as the gendered-sexuality barriers identified by Emma Pérez. This project builds on their work to frame Latina literature within a new discussion of how corporeal, memory, and sentient experiences of identity must center sentient-flesh as the source of decolonial consciousness rather than relapsing into discourses of the ''body''.
