The Rise and Propagation of Historical Professionalism

The Rise and Propagation of Historical Professionalism

This book examines the evolution of historical professionalism with the development of an international community that shares a set of values regarding both methodological minimum demands and what constitutes new results. Historical professionalism is not a fixed set of skills but a concept with varying import and meaning at different times depending on changing norms. Torstendahl covers the propagation of these different ideals and of new educational forms from the late 18th century to the present from Ranke’s state-centrism to a historiography borne by social theories. | The Rise and Propagation of Historical Professionalism

International Competitiveness in Latin America and East Asia

International Competitiveness in Latin America and East Asia

First published in 1993. Latin America is undergoing a process of profound economic and social change. The industrial import substitution that continued for several decades was quantitatively successful in terms of industrialization but - like inward-oriented industrialization in the socialist countries - failed to raise the economies of the region to international productivity levels. The attempt at catch-up industrialization outside the reference frame of the world market led to economic stagnation social crises serious environmental degradation and the obstruction of social development. The following papers included in this book show that the development of competitive advantages is initially determined by the new macro policy and by modernization at enterprise level. | International Competitiveness in Latin America and East Asia

Textbook of Logic

Textbook of Logic

Originally published in 1930 this well-known text by the late British philosopher Abraham Wolf offers the student a practical consistent and comprehensive approach to logic which remains unique in its field. Dr. Wolf here deals systematically with the two main types of reasoning - formal logic and inductive logic - and their various applications. All the main elements of logic - such as inference syllogism dilemmas evidence deductive and inductive methods and probability - are subsumed under these general headings. Professor Wolf strongly emphasizes the fact that logic cannot be mastered without some practical application; at the end of this volume therefore he includes a section of exercises based on each chapter. His unusally interesting appendix examines such matters as symbolic as logic fallacies the law of contradiction modal propositions the existential import of categorical propositions predictables and categories. | Textbook of Logic

Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

The book argues that there is no monolithic homosexuality; there are only homosexualities that is there are as many reasons for being gay as there are gays. Some people are born gay some have gayness thrust upon them and some do indeed achieve to great gayness. Representation of homosexuality/homoeroticism as it is understood today is thus a western import. The act and public/social discourses on same-sex love are still illegal; it is according to many against the Indian ‘tradition’; and a sense of ‘history’ is seriously problematic when we dig out for a past tradition of homoerotic love and desire. Hoshang Merchant through an examination of texts films poetry attempts to analyse and crack the codes of sexual (mis)conduct in contemporary India giving short histories of the fate of several gay writers and explaining the difficulties of ‘coming out’. | Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

Seemings New Arguments New Angles

Seemings New Arguments New Angles

This volume presents new research on the epistemology of seemings. It features original essays by leading epistemologists on the nature and epistemic import of seemings and intuitions. Seemings and intuitions are often appealed to in philosophical theorizing. In fact epistemological theories such as phenomenal conservatism and dogmatism give pride of place to seemings. Such views insist that seemings are of central importance to theories of epistemic justification. However there are many questions about seemings that have yet to be answered satisfactorily. What kinds of seemings are there? How do seemings justify? Are seemings connected to truth? Do they play a significant role in inquiry? The chapters in this volume offer a range of useful arguments and fresh ideas about seemings the nature of justification and evidential support intuitions inquiry and the nature of inference. Seemings: New Arguments New Angles will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in epistemology and philosophy of mind. | Seemings New Arguments New Angles

Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance

Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance

In the first critical study wholly devoted to Joseph Conrad's use of techniques associated with the literary tradition of romance the author argues that Conrad's engagement with the genre invigorated his work throughout his career. Exploring the ways in which Conrad borrows from alludes to and subverts the tropes of romance the author suggests that Conrad's ambivalent relationship with popular forms like the adventure novel is revealed in the way he uses romance conventions to disrupt narrative expectations and make visible ethical problems with Europe's colonial project. The author examines not only familiar novels like Lord Jim but also less-studied works such as Romance and The Rover using Robert Miles's model of the 'philosophical romance' to show that for Conrad romance is also philosophically engaged with issues of ideology. Her study enables a new appreciation of the ways in which Conrad continued to experiment even in his later fiction and of the ethical import of that aesthetic experimentation. | Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance

Countering Economic Crime A Comparative Analysis

Countering Economic Crime A Comparative Analysis

Economic crime is a significant feature of the UK’s economic landscape and yet despite the government’s bold mission statements ‘to hold those suspected of financial wrongdoing to account’ as part of their ‘day of reckoning’ and ‘serious about white-collar crime’ agenda there is a sense that this is still not being done effectively. This book examines the history of the creation of the UK’s anti-economic crime institutions and accompanying legislation providing a critique of their effectiveness. The book analyses whether the recent regulatory regime is fit for purpose as well as being appropriate for the future. In order to explore how the UK’s economic crime strategies could be improved the book takes a comparative approach analysing policy and legislative responses to economic crime in the United States and Australia in order to determine whether the UK could or should import similar structures or laws to improve the enforcement of UK economic crime. | Countering Economic Crime A Comparative Analysis

Modern Cryptography with Proof Techniques and Implementations

Modern Cryptography with Proof Techniques and Implementations

Proof techniques in cryptography are very difficult to understand even for students or researchers who major in cryptography. In addition in contrast to the excessive emphases on the security proofs of the cryptographic schemes practical aspects of them have received comparatively less attention. This book addresses these two issues by providing detailed structured proofs and demonstrating examples applications and implementations of the schemes so that students and practitioners may obtain a practical view of the schemes. Seong Oun Hwang is a professor in the Department of Computer Engineering and director of Artificial Intelligence Security Research Center Gachon University Korea. He received the Ph.

Inside a Japanese Sharehouse Dreams and Realities

Inside a Japanese Sharehouse Dreams and Realities

This book explores social change in Japan at the most intimate site of social interaction – the home – by providing a detailed ethnography of everyday life in a sharehouse. Sharehouses which emerged in the 2007 'sharehouse boom' are a deliberate alternative to life in the family home and are considered an experimental space for the construction of new social identities. Through a description of the micro-level mundane material interactions among residents within a mid-sized mixed-sex sharehouse the book considers what these interactions indicate about existing – and often conflicting – ideas about intimacy privacy gender the individual family community and the home. In so doing it highlights how sharehouse residents though a dramatic rejection of the twentieth-century domestic model with its ideal of the family home as a partnership between a male wage-earner and a dedicated housewife and its implied separation of 'family' and 'outsiders' are nevertheless uneasy about overturning existing gender roles and giving precedence to the individual over community and are regarded as a foreign import. | Inside a Japanese Sharehouse Dreams and Realities

Wittgenstein and the Limits of Language

Wittgenstein and the Limits of Language

The limit of language is one of the most pervasive notions found in Wittgenstein’s work both in his early Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and his later writings. Moreover the idea of a limit of language is intimately related to important scholarly debates on Wittgenstein’s philosophy such as the debate between the so-called traditional and resolute interpretations Wittgenstein’s stance on transcendental idealism and the philosophical import of Wittgenstein’s latest work On Certainty. This collection includes thirteen original essays that provide a comprehensive overview of the various ways in which Wittgenstein appeals to the limit of language at different stages of his philosophical development. The essays connect the idea of a limit of language to the most important themes discussed by Wittgenstein—his conception of logic and grammar the method of philosophy the nature of the subject and the foundations of knowledge—as well as his views on ethics aesthetics and religion. The essays also relate Wittgenstein’s thought to his contemporaries including Carnap Frege Heidegger Levinas and Moore. | Wittgenstein and the Limits of Language

The Foodways of Hawai'i Past and Present

The Foodways of Hawai'i Past and Present

Offering diverse perspectives on Hawaiʻi’s food system this book addresses themes of place and identity across time. From early Western contact to the present day the way in which people in Hawaiʻi grow import and consume their food has shifted in response to the pressures of colonialism migration new technologies and globalization. Because of Hawaiʻi’s history of agricultural abundance its geographic isolation in the Pacific Ocean and its heavy reliance on imported foods today it offers a rich case study for understanding how food systems develop in-place. In so doing the contributors implicitly and explicitly complicate the narrative of the local which has until recently dominated much of the existing scholarship on Hawaiʻi’s foodways. With topics spanning GMO activism agricultural land use trends customary access and fishing rights poi production and the dairy industry this volume reveals how local food is emplaced through dynamic and complex articulations of history politics and economic change. This book was originally published as a special issue of Food Culture and Society. | The Foodways of Hawai'i Past and Present

Price Analysis of China's Carbon Emissions

Price Analysis of China's Carbon Emissions

This book explores the determination of China’s carbon emission targets especially with regard to the allocation of responsibility of China’s import and export carbon emissions and carbon emission quota allocations across different time periods industries and regions. Research outside of China tends to focus on methods and approaches of carbon emission reduction policies and the impact of their implementation. Instead within China the focus has been on discussion of the necessity and conditions for China's development of a low-carbon economy as well as its introduction as a concept in the light of overseas comparisons. This book utilizes game theory mechanism design input-output theory econometric theory and other methods to scrutinize China's carbon emissions and carbon emissions targets across different periods industries and regions. The result is a detailed theoretical and empirical investigation of carbon emission issues in the Chinese context. The book will be essential reading for students and scholars of economics especially those with a focus on Chinese economic development and policymakers in the low-carbon economy sphere. | Price Analysis of China's Carbon Emissions

Nietzsche and the Clinic Psychoanalysis Philosophy Metaphysics

Nietzsche and the Clinic Psychoanalysis Philosophy Metaphysics

Nietzsche and the Clinic reimagines what a sustained engagement with Nietzsche's thinking has to offer psychoanalysis today. Beyond the headlines that continue to misrepresent Nietzsche's project this book portrays Nietzsche as a thinker of tremendous practical import for those treating the emergent pathologies of the twenty-first century with an interpretive approach. The more pressing wager of the book is that by introducing Nietzsche's thinking into contemporary debates about the nature and function of the psychoanalytic clinic the future of that clinic can be better secured against attempts to discredit its claims to therapeutic efficacy and to scientific legitimacy. Combining a close textual reading with examples drawn from concrete clinical practice Nietzsche and the Clinic integrates philosophy and psychoanalysis in ways that move past a merely theoretical attitude demonstrating how the relationship between philosophy and psychoanalysis can be expanded in ways that are both clinically specific and post-Freudian in orientation. Chapters include extended meditations on Nietzsche's relation to key themes in the work of Helene Deutsch Wilfred Bion Melanie Klein Donald Winnicott and Jacques Lacan. | Nietzsche and the Clinic Psychoanalysis Philosophy Metaphysics
