The contributors to this volume are leading researchers in the field of moral and democratic education and they all combine profound theoretical foundations with empirical research that can help practitioners in their pedagogical actions. The first three articles focus on values and what students might learn from them. An important question is what students can learn from moral mistakes. The second part of the book focuses on the role of teachers in moral and democratic education. What is their pedagogical professionalism and how can that be strengthened by teacher education and by collaborative action research?

The history of religions is quite often an established sub-discipline within convincing research traditions. In order to reconstruct the past adequately, historians need academically controlled data about the beliefs of the people they are dealing with. This book offers ten examples from a wide range of religious beliefs which show that developments in religion have far reaching consequences for general history in the change from Empire to the system of European nations, in establishing social disciplines as part of capitalist societies, in attempts of semi-peripheral states struggling for a place in the European World-System, in defence of Muslim societies on the peripheries and in postcolonial Africa.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The coursebook presents Plato and Aristotle as the two most significant and groundbreaking thinkers of European thought from the era of classical Greek philosophy. The author provides prefatory orientation in the labyrinth of their complex thought and sketches their metaphysics, problems of knowledge and ethics. He departs from the fact that both thinkers are similar in striving to overcome problems of their period by localizing the human being into a hierarchical order of beings, which obliges in questions of the possibility of knowledge as well as of the right conduct. This book is an introduction to key issues in philosophical thought of Plato and Aristotle. Therefore it aims to provide prefatory orientation in their complex thought and addresses problems of dialogue, ontological hierarchy, metaphysics, knowledge and practical philosophy.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781-1832) developed a fascinating cosmopolitanism against the background of his panentheistic metaphysics. In Krauses panentheistic cosmopolitanism, every individual, every family, every friendship, every nation, every league of peoples, and finally, the global civil society itself is called upon to realize the ideals of virtue, law, beauty, and divinity. Because in Krauses panentheistic system of philosophy, humanity is at the centre of the Absolute, as the union of Reason and Nature, humanity is, in effect, called upon, and is capable of establishing the league of humanity as the imageof the Absolute, in and by freedom for excellence. A very short introduction to the philosophy of the German Idealist Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781-1832). The book contains a short biography, shows the relation between Indian philosophy and Krauses own panentheism, and based on this provides an overview of Krauses cosmopolitanism.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Joan Fuster offers us in Poetry, Aphorisms, Diary, Vignettes and Drawings a collection of maxims, apothegms, and aphorisms that constitute a series of philosophical reflections on a variety of topics. The author purposely rejects a fully-developed narrative style as well as a more methodical and comprehensive philosophical approach to the presentation of his ideas. Instead, he chooses the seemingly innocuous and more humble style of the laconic and brief note to offer us what could be termed as his inconsequential musings on life. But Fuster is not alone in this way of approaching the essay and the philosophical genre. In fact, he belongs to a long list of philosophers who have prioritized this form and style in their writings, from the classical Greek and Roman periods to the writings of Montaigne, one of his main sources, and the encyclopedists. The author of Nosaltres, els valencians (1965) and coiner of the successful term paisos catalans is here at his best ruminating on a multiplicity of ideas, surprising the reader with his acute perceptions, and suggesting myriad possibilities of thought and reflection.

While bloating, flatulence and constipation seem like routine, everyday symptoms, one cannot deny the significant societal burden they impart partly through their effect on the quality of life and partly through the medical and surgical costs they incur on patients desperate to improve symptoms.This book discusses irritable bowel syndrome, which is accompanied by complaints of bloating, flatulence, constipation and diarrhea, from which many people routinely suffer. Furthermore, it presents treatment methods, e.g., dietary and nutritional approaches, and recommendations to change lifestyle and manage digestive symptoms.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This study aims at analyzing the characters and spaces in films (writing case studies) in the framework of the Theory of Narrative in the context of the concepts of panopticon and chronotope. In the context of the relation of the spaces with the story, the spaces, where Bal separated according to the movement types of characters as steady spaces and dynamically functioning spaces, were determined according to the context in which the characters could use their existence on the basis of the qualities of the space in the narrative of the film. In this manner, the exterior and interior spaces that are presented in film narratives are analyzed in the context of Bals commentated facts and the facts that are grounded on. While examining the spaces in terms of the effect of these spaces on the plot, evaluations were made about the causal motivation of the spectator while watching the narrative. The concepts of panopticon and chronotope make it possible to examine the narrative elements in detail and try to explain how the process of the narrative interpretation of spectators is developed. With Koca Duenya (2016) and Doert Koeseli UEcgen (2018) as case studies, the presentation of the time element will be examined while trying to analyze how the characters and places are presented to the audience in terms of narratology in the film narrative.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This coursebook addresses key presocratics from Heraclitus to the sophists, who stand at the origin of philosophy as cornerstone of European spirituality. Readers might find that already at this point we encounter timeless and actual questions concerning the human condition in the world, limits of our knowledge, or the problem of adequate articulation of reality. Later thinkers did not philosophised from scratch, but criticised or were inspired by their predecessors. The coursebook thus provides an introduction to presocratic thought as an important field of our spiritual history. This book is an introduction to the main representatives of presocratic philosophical thought, namely Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, atomists and sophists. The author sketches main issues concerning problems of being, appearance, perception and mind. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

The author opens a discussion on the role and the emerging strategies of designers in todays society. She presents historical and contemporary perspectives through design practices committed to provide proposals and solutions to social issues. Her analysis of several case studies results in an approach to design as a narrative medium. Since the end of the 20th century, designers have started to contract out from the laws of industrial production and have begun to personally construct the opportunities in which to intervene, designing products and processes charged with a strong narrative vocation capable of telling a complex story even before reacting to a practical function.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Calling an epoch Middle Age already involves some sort of judgment. But Middle Ages represent a historic period, in which the identity was established, which was denied by the renaissance, modern world and which however is now being discovered again in its sense and beauty. It is a period in which a co-existence between faith and intellect, between ecclesiastical and profane culture was possible. It was a varied living space in which philosophy, mystique and practice could exist side by side. It is a world which is lost today and which we can get a hold of again only by intellectual appropriation. The text presents boundaries and concepts of the Middle Ages and its philosophical and theological thinking. It follows the selected characters of scholastic tradition from 5th to 13th century: Boethius, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, Johannes Scotus Eriugena, Anselm of Canterbury, Peter Abelard, Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas.
