This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the evolution of the university, moving from its classical focus on Bildung and its symbolic association with ruins, to the contemporary struggle to define the role of values in shaping society through education and research. Education and research are presented as crucial phenomena for societal development, while individualism is highlighted as a key factor in understanding the interaction between society and the surrounding world. We briefly examine the international and multidisciplinary nature of modern education and research, emphasizing the influence of technological progress on their aims and practices. By linking educational philosophies from various cultural epistemes, this book reviews contributions from Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (Swiss educational reformer), Friedrich Froebel (German educational reformer), John Dewey (American pragmatist), Miguel de Unamuno and Ortega y Gasset (Spanish intellectuals), Paul Natorp (neo-Kantian pedagogue), Maria Montessori (creator of the Montessori method), Jean Piaget (who connected epistemology with psychology), and Bertrand Russell (British philosopher and educator). The book contextualizes the role of social factors in shaping education>al practices across cultural contexts. Foundational ideas from Rousseau, Kant, and Hegel are discussed, along with contributions by Natorp and Herbart to social pedagogy and individual ethics. Subsequent sections delve into three core areas: ethical issues in education, the conceptualization of education as a value, and the influence of modern technologies on educational practices. The chapter on research pro>vides a historical overview of how science has been integrated into universities in the West and developed externally in the East. It examines ethical issues in research, positions research as a value, and evaluates the transformative role of modern technologies in scientific inquiry. The discussion transitions to the modern university, tracing its historical mission and organizational models through the perspectives of Vernadsky, Ortega y Gasset, and Russell. Topics such as academic citizenship and the significance of public health research are explored as integral to contemporary university functions. The book also investigates the impact of technological progress on education and research, emphasizing the pivotal role of university-driven public health research. The following chapter, Case Study: Teaching and Research in Georgia, examines authors' experience with the organization and management of teaching and research in Georgian universities. This case study highlights the challenges faced by universities in a rapidly changing world and reflects on how classical approaches to education and research can be transformed when these institutions become both products of mass consumption and centers of excellence. Georgian universities offer a lens to understand current dynamics and envision the near future of academic life. The final chapter, Human Happiness, explores the concept of happiness through an educational lens. It investigates how education can cultivate a unique sense of fulfillment-a form of pleasure that, while akin to others, is distinct in its reliance on intellectual and personal growth facilitated by learning. 148 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The traditional concept of diakonia centres on servanthood and humble service, leading to inconsistencies in mission practice and necessitating revision. If diakonia continues to be defined as servanthood, it risks objectifying people, excluding them from being subjects of mission, failing to learn from others, and mystifying the power of domination. Since diakonia has been essential to the mission of the church from its early days, its interpretation significantly influences the church's self-understanding, current mission and relationships with others. Decolonizing Diakonia explores these issues by examining the Bible, historical developments, theology of service, and Katherine B. Hockin's companionship. This book discovers new language, images, and practices for diakonia that align with postcolonial contexts, emphasizing just, respectful, and compassionate relationships among those participating in God's mission today. Hockin's concept of diakonia as companionship is a fitting idea and practice for our mission. Her notion of companionship is inclusive, allowing everyone to participate in God's mission as equals regardless of their status or privilege within society's power structures. This companionship transforms the power dynamics from being for others into with each other. Decolonizing Diakonia contributes to a deeper understanding of the importance of intercultural and postcolonial hermeneutics as a critique of power and decolonizing mission practice. Anyone who deals in this era of fragmentation and the brokenness of our societies with human beings should make this book its own. Not thinking and acting for others and accordingly disempowering them or patronizing them, but in the approach of diaconal companionship, the focus is placed on acting with others, a togetherness that we urgently need in a post-colonial age. - Prof. Dr Benjamin Simon, Ecumenical Institute at Bossey/ World Council of ChurchesUsing biblical, historical, theological, philosophical, missiological, social and power analysis, Decolonizing Diakonia makes a compelling argument for moving away from the image of servanthood toward an embracing of the idea of companionship. Members of the diaconate and champions of intercultural sensitivity and inclusion will appreciate this powerful challenge to traditional thinking and will value the moving story-telling that Cho and Park share in this volume. - Ted Dodd, President DIAKONIA of the Americas and Caribbean Member of the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Diakonia Reference Group 178 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The focus of the present work is the art status of Duchamp's Readymades and Warhol's Brillo Box, and the claim that these works, because of their singular radicality, have initiated artistic and conceptual revolutions thereby changing the concept of art. The two first parts of the book are devoted to an analysis of the philosophical and art theoretical discourses these iconic works have engendered. Particular attention is paid to controversies concerning the interpretation and the significance of the works in question. In Part One, Thierry de Duve's theory of art is discussed at some length. In Part Two, the focus is on Arthur Danto's philosophy of art, inspired as it is by Warhol's work. In Part Three, the philosophical debates concerning the definability of art are at the centre of attention. Some recent definitional proposals as well as criticisms of the definitional project are highlighted. In particular, Danto's essentialist project is contrasted with Wittgenstein-inspired family resemblance approaches. 360 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The Poland's case study examines how historical context shapes digital behaviors in a semi- peripheral information society. The research spans four key areas: First, it analyzes how Western internet tools are adapted for Polish users. Second, it explores informal circulation of audiovisual content, particularly American TV series, through 'peer re-production'. Third, it traces how current digital sharing practices evolved from analog copying culture during the Polish People's Republic era, when VHS tapes were widely shared, influencing modern attitudes toward digital piracy and content access. Finally, it examines how global digital communication forms are localized, using Facebook art memes as an example. This research highlights Poland's unique position between global digital frameworks and local cultural practices, showing how historical patterns of media consumption continue to influence modern digital behavior.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 122 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -As the Russia-Ukraine War sees its fourth year, this book provides a timely analysis of the successes and failures of Ukraine's campaign to expel Russian forces from sovereign Ukrainian territory. Lessons are drawn using sociological approaches to risk management such as systems-thinking, organising for high-reliability, latent and active error, mindfulness, groupthink, strategic empathy, passive and active learning, single and double-loop learning, isomorphic learning and active foresight. The aim of this book is to help Western nations improve their defences against, as former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak put it, 'An axis of authoritarian states with different values to ours'. Lessons range from the urgent need to improve the resilience of critical national infrastructure to the benefits of allowing front-line commanders greater decision-making freedom. If Western liberal democracy is to survive, the lessons of the Russia-Ukraine War must be actioned.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 298 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The global history of text-based communication constitutes a particularly exciting facet of material culture, given the myriad ways in which its production, transmission, and consumption has been - and continues to be - accomplished across cultural and political boundaries. However, a critical engagement with script and print outside the western world has remained relatively limited to summaries and generalisations, despite a burgeoning interest in the interrelated areas of printing, publishing, design, and type histories. The time is long overdue for these narratives relating to the material production of text to expand, and address the rich variation and particularity of global practices. Covering a variety of scripts and linguistic contexts, this volume explores the plurality of historical and contemporary engagements with, and interpretations of the printed and written word in various artefacts, printing technologies, and writing systems. Part of the Printing History and Culture series by the Centre for Printing History and Culture, this book presents critical perspectives and fresh approaches toward the study of the visual and material aspects of print in diverse linguistic environments - whether handwritten, lithographed, typographically printed, or digitally manifested.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 226 pp. Englisch.…

It investigates the history of such laboratories, while contributing to debates on designing contemporary forms of labs. The book traces the trend for laboratories in the humanities since the mid-nineteenth century, outlining a multitude of projects across diverse times and spaces.We are interested in what makes humanities laboratories different from their scientific relatives. Can a humanities lab and those investigating natural sciences even be considered as related Or should the relationship between them be seen transversally, outside of the opposition between the humanities and the natural and formal sciences We argue that the humanities laboratory should not be based on the idea of mimesis and imitate a scientific lab, but rather operate according to the principle of mimicry. Only in this way can the humanities fulfil their self-critical function.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 386 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The eponymous inter esse means the elusive 'third' position of that which lies between, that which escapes unambiguous classification and constitutes the essence of Romanticism. The book provides a constellation of texts, a clash of case studies that provide contrasting views of Romanticism, shifting between inspiration and virtuosity (Hugo and Mickiewicz), feminine poetry and the fantasy of femininity (Desbordes-Valmore and Z¿michowska; de Nerval and Krasin¿ski), along with optimistic versus pessimistic-even nihilistic-reactions to disenchantment with the Enlightenment (Novalis, Krasin¿ski, Malczewski, Macha, Bonaventura, Buchner, Goszczyn¿ski).'Siwiec's comparative analysis . juxtaposes the familiar with the foreign, taking Polish and foreign-language writers under critical literary scrutiny.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The main aim of this book is to study the Athenian lower classes between the seventh and fourth centuries BC, with the emphasis on the thetes. The word thes had a double meaning in ancient Athens: a day labourer and/or wage earner (generally a pauper without land) and a member of the Solonian census class. Based on this scheme, the intention here is to examine the ways in which both meanings overlapped throughout that historical period. Within the framework of this evolution, the book addresses the different aspects that are necessary for understanding the meaning of the word thetes in relation to the social, economic, political and cultural status of those who were called as such. This involves identifying the different situations in which the thetes found themselves in ancient Athens over time. All these issues are addressed in this book diachronically, thus offering a comprehensive overview of the historical evolution of the Athenian lower classes.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 628 pp. Englisch.…
