The Philosophy of Human Learning - Christopher Winch - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Philosophy of Human Learning - Christopher Winch - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Philosophy of Human Learning addresses current concerns with the nature of human learning from a distinctive philosophical perspective. Using insights derived from the work of Wittgenstein, it mounts a vigorous attack on influential contemporary accounts of learning, both in the ''romantic'' Rousseauian tradition and in the ''scientific'' cognotivist tradition. These two schools, Professor Winch argues, are more closely related than is commonly realised.

There is No Such Thing as a Social Science - Rupert (university Of East Anglia) Read - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

There is No Such Thing as a Social Science - Rupert (university Of East Anglia) Read - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The death of Peter Winch in 1997 sparked a revived interest in his work with this book arguing his work suffered misrepresentation in both recent literature and in contemporary critiques of his writing. Debates in philosophy and sociology about foundational questions of social ontology and methodology often claim to have adequately incorporated and moved beyond Winch''s concerns. Re-establishing a Winchian voice, the authors examine how such contentions involve a failure to understand central themes in Winch''s writings and that the issues which occupied him in his Idea of a Social Science and its Relation to Philosophy and later papers remain central to social studies. The volume offers a careful reading of the text in alliance with Wittgensteinian insights and alongside a focus on the nature and results of social thought and inquiry. It draws parallels with other movements in the social studies, notably ethnomethodology, to demonstrate how Winch''s central claim is both more significant and more difficult to transcend than sociologists and philosophers have hitherto imagined.

Rules, Magic and Instrumental Reason - Berel Dov Lerner - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Rules, Magic and Instrumental Reason - Berel Dov Lerner - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book offers a systematic and critical discussion of Peter Winch''s writings on the philosophy of the social sciences. The author points to Winch''s tendency to over-emphasize the importance of language and communication, and his insufficient attention to the role of practical, technological activites in human life and society. It also offers an appendix devoted to the controversy between the anthropologists Marshall Sahlins and Gananath Obeyesekere regarding Captain James Cook''s Hawaiian adventures. Essential reading for those studying the development of philosophy in the twentieth century, this book will also be of great interest to anthropologists, sociologists, scholars of religion, and all those with an interest in the relationship between philosophy and the social sciences.

Managing Production - Graham M. Winch - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Managing Production - Graham M. Winch - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The management of production is faced with ever greater challenges as global competion mounts. The problems revolve around the paradox of flexibility and productivity in the organization of production: how to compete on price while retaining the capability to respond quickly to market changes; how to develop new products faster without jeopardizing product integrity; how to increase quality while reducing costs. The recent research on lean production has explored some of these questions in the context of the motor industry. This book takes a broader audit of these issues across the full range of the metalworking sector in the United Kingdom. Focusing on the engineering/manufacturing interface, the research presented here explores how 15 leading British firms are facing up to the challenges of the 90s.

Selected Economic Writings - James Mill - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Selected Economic Writings - James Mill - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

James Mill was the consummate utilitarian economist and theorist: his numerous intellectual interests and practical pursuits shatter the net boundaries of modern specialist scholarship in social science.Mill''s many-sided genius was primarily a product of the age in which he lived. The late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries saw a remarkable flowering of intellectual genius in Scotland in all of the arts and sciences, which gave the country a leading place in the broad European movement known as the Enlightenment, Mill being in fact only one of many brilliant men Scotland produced at that time.Mill''s writings in this volume, first published in 1966, cover his development as an economist and are an attempt to assess his contribution to classic political economy. Particular attention is paid to the formative but less well-known pre-Benthamite period of his life. The volume opens with a substantial biographical assessment of Mill''s life and work. The selections are specifically divided into four groups consisting of: early economic writings ("An Essay of the Impolicy of a Bounty on the Exportation of Grain," "Commerce Defended," and "Smith on Money and Exchange"); James Mill and David Ricardo ("Elements of Political Economy"); Mill on scope and method ("Whether Political Economy is Useful"); and Mill and India ("History of British India"). Donald Winch provides an introduction to each section that contextualizes the essays in Mill''s own work and the economic thought of the time.James Mill: Selected Economic Writings is sure to be of interest to students of economic theory and social policy. One of the founders of utilitarianism, he adopted that doctrine to both British conditions and Britain''s broader imperial pursuits.Donald Winch is professor of economics at the University of Sussex. He has authored and edited many books and papers on economics, economic theory, economic policy and economic history.

Poetics and Politics of Relationality in Contemporary Australian Aboriginal Fiction - Dorothee (university Of Stuttgart) Klein - Bog - Taylor &

Poetics and Politics of Relationality in Contemporary Australian Aboriginal Fiction - Dorothee (university Of Stuttgart) Klein - Bog - Taylor &

This is the first sustained study of the formal particularities of works by Bruce Pascoe, Kim Scott, Tara June Winch, and Alexis Wright. Drawing on a rich theoretical framework that includes approaches to relationality by Aboriginal thinkers, Edouard Glissant, and Jean-Luc Nancy, and recent work in New Formalism and narrative theory, the book illustrates how they use a broad range of narrative techniques to mediate, negotiate, and temporarily create networks of relations that interlink all elements of the universe. Through this focus on relationality, Aboriginal writing gains both local and global significance. Locally, these narratives assert Indigenous sovereignty by staging an unbroken interrelatedness of people and their land. Globally, they intervene into current discourses about humanity’s relationship with the natural environment, urging readers to acknowledge our interrelatedness with and dependence on the land that sustains us.

Relativism - Paul O'grady - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Relativism - Paul O'grady - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The issue of relativism looms large in many contemporary discussions of knowledge, reality, society, religion, culture and gender. Is truth relative? To what extent is knowledge dependent on context? Are there different logics? Do different cultures and societies see the world differently? And is reality itself something that is constructed? This book offers a path through these debates. O''Grady begins by clarifying what exactly relativism is and how it differs from scepticism and pluralism. He then examines five main types of cognitive relativism: alethic relativism, logical relativism, ontological relativism; epistemological relativism, and relativism about rationality. Each is clearly distinguised and the arguments for and against each are assessed. O''Grady offers a welcome survey of recent debates, engaging with the work of Davidson, Devitt, Kuhn, Putnam, Quine, Rorty, Searle, Winch and Wittgenstein, among others, and he offers a distinct position of his own on this hotly contested issue.
