Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access book is about the German term Menschenbild . This term concerns basic beliefs about humanity such as equality or hierarchy, the desirability of freedom or control, and the relationship of people to nature. Such beliefs shape everything - how to live, how to treat others, how society is built. They underpin laws, morals, politics, and education. They shape how children are raised, how society functions, and how people view the future.This book examines these beliefs, exploring why they matter, and how they affect people. Drawing on Friedrich Nietzsche, it argues three things:Everyone holds a set of basic beliefs about what it means to be human.These beliefs shape our knowledge, values, and institutions.They are not passive; they become real. Over time, they influence people.By uncovering the hidden power of these beliefs, this book introduces a concept as foundational as it is overlooked and offers a new lens for understanding today s cultural and political conflicts. It suggests that rethinking our understanding of humanity might be key to shaping a better future.The Concept of Menschenbild and What it Means to be Humanis essential reading for all scholars, researchers and advanced students of social philosophy and the philosophy of the human self. It is also of interest to researchers of the philosophy of language, linguistics and theology.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Humans evolved to experience work as pleasurable and continued to find it pleasurable for the first 98% of our history, often likening it to play. The negative associations we see now with work stem from the extreme inequality and exploitation accompanying the rise of the state 5,500 years ago. Consequently, today manypeopleview work negatively,seeing it as a means to gain income to enable consumption as opposedto serving as a means for creativity, community, and self-fulfillment.InWhy We Must Work, Jon D. Wisman draws upon economics, philosophy, evolutionary psychology, social anthropology, and history to explore how work has been experienced and understood over the course of history. In addressing current conditions, he notes the absurdity that, while we live with unparalleled abundance, some workers suffer unemployment and most are not free in their workplaces, often being bossed about. Equally absurd, given our abundance, is the extreme inequality that results in pervasive insecurity, stress, and pessimism. Laissez-faire ideology legitimates the public policies that generate this inequality and these work conditions while depicting ever greater consumption as opposed to meaningful work as the means to greater happiness.Wisman offers an attractive alternative vision of our future, grounded in two reforms to make work again fulfilling: guaranteed employment and workplace democracy. Guaranteed employment would provide security and eliminate poverty while providing everyone with the social and self-respect of being a productive member of society. Measures to bring about worker ownership and control of their firms would bring freedom and democracy to the workplace. Both reforms conform to cherished values while preserving capitalism s two principal institutions of private property and markets.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This Open Access book examines how people often treat social group membership as inherent, immutable, informative and even intergenerationally inherited. Such essentialism remains one of the more puzzling folk intuitions, at odds with social science maintaining that people become culturally competent group members through enculturation, and that norms can change how group boundaries are defined quite substantially. Essentialism also features prominently in much rhetoric that justifies intergroup hostility and in researchers' attemptsto explain it. Nonetheless, social scientists have not reached a consensus about essentialism's causal role in intergroup relations.In this Open Access book, contributors from a range of perspectives tackle fundamental questions in this field:Do humans share a tendency to essentialise groups If so, where does this tendency come from How is essentialism expressed in cognition, behavior, and institutions What are its consequences for cooperation and social conflict Psychologists, cultural anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists weigh in on these questions in this volume, often using specific cultural contexts as case studies to elucidate both the particularities and common patterns in the ways essentialism does, or does not, work in the real world.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access book is a tribute to the profound contributions of Professor Bumsig Kim in the field of mathematics, particularly in the realm of mirror symmetry. Mirror symmetry is a fascinating duality between complex/algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry, manifesting in various ways. One of the foundational examples of this duality is the comparison of period integrals on a complex manifold with curve counts (enumerative invariants) on its mirror. This vision was ultimately realized through the Quasimap Wall-Crossing Formula, developed by Bumsig Kim and his collaborators.The book delves into the methods for counting curves, including Gromov Witten theory and Fan Jarvis Ruan Witten theory. In his final works, Kim and various groups of collaborators achieved methods for counting curves on gauged linear sigma models, effectively unifying Gromov Witten and Fan Jarvis Ruan Witten theory. This monumental effort involved constructing categorical frameworks and developing a dictionary between categorical and classical homological constructions.As a conference proceedings volume, this book is a collaborative effort by Professor Kim s network of colleagues. It explores the intricate connections between categorical and enumerative aspects of mirror symmetry, showcasing the depth and breadth of Kim's work. Through detailed discussions and presentations, the book highlights the innovative approaches and groundbreaking results that have shaped the field.Readers will find a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in mirror symmetry, enriched by the collaborative spirit and intellectual rigor that characterized Professor Kim's career. This volume not only honors his legacy but also serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students seeking to understand and build upon his pioneering work. Whether you are new to the field or an experienced mathematician, this book offers a wealth of knowledge and insights into the complex and beautiful world of mirror symmetry.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book contributes to the existing Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) literature in several ways. It expands SFL s empirical scope to understudied, high-stakes institutional contexts like mediation, enriching our understanding of register and genre. Methodologically, this research bridges computational data mining with SFL s meaning-oriented tradition, providing a solution to the delicacy vs. scale dilemma which is capable of handling large-scale conversational data while preserving linguistic and sociological insights. Furthermore, the research extends existing SFL/Appraisal-based identity studies by tracking the co-occurrences of all evaluative options within the Appraisal system network, systematically mapping the relationship between the reservoir of meanings in a culture and the repertoire a given individual can mobilize, as well as the relationship between the reservoir of systems populating the realization hierarchy and their actualization in text.Targeted at scholars in linguistics, discourse analysis, communication studies, and computational social sciences, this book offers a sophisticated understanding of how language functions as a dynamic tool for identity negotiation. It provides researchers and practitioners with innovative theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches for analysing discursive behaviours in high-conflict interactions. This book also provides practical insights for mediation practitioners, demonstrating how language can be strategically employed to facilitate more effective communication and resolution strategies.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - As the international system undergoes its most profound reordering since the end of the Cold War, the assumptions that once anchored America s global role are no longer analytically sufficient. Intensifying great-power rivalry, the weaponization of economic leverage, and accelerating geoeconomic polarization are reshaping the strategic environment faster than inherited explanatory frames can account for. This book advances a new conceptual architecture for interpreting US foreign policy transformative depth to distinguish among the policies that presidential administrations employ to reconstitute, reform, or stabilize the international order, or to minimize US engagement in its management. The framework clarifies the deeper logics through which the United States positions herself amid a tumultuous global transformation.At the center of the study is a reconsideration of the modern presidency as a structurally pivotal force during periods of systemic inflection.Through a comparative examination of the leadership styles and decision-making practices of Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden, the book shows how personality traits and professional backgrounds interact with external pressures to produce distinct trajectories in foreign, economic, and security policy. The result is a theoretically original and empirically grounded account of American statecraft in an era of global strategic uncertainty.
