The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Three Volume Set

The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Three Volume Set

Ernst Cassirer occupies a unique space in twentieth-century philosophy. A great liberal humanist his multi-faceted work spans the history of philosophy the philosophy of science intellectual history aesthetics epistemology the study of language and myth and more. Cassirer’s thought also anticipates the renewed interest in the origins of analytic and continental philosophy in the Twentieth Century and the divergent paths taken by the 'logicist' and existential traditions epitomised by his now legendary debate in 1929 with the philosopher Martin Heidegger over the question What is the Human Being? The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms is Cassirer's most important work. It was first published in German in 1923 the third and final volume appearing in 1929. In it Cassirer presents a radical new philosophical worldview - at once rich creative and controversial - of human beings as fundamentally symbolic animals placing signs and systems of expression between themselves and the world. This major new translation of all three volumes the first for over fifty years brings Cassirer's magnum opus to a new generation of students and scholars. Taken together the three volumes of The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms are a vital treatise on human beings as symbolic animals and a monumental expression of neo-Kantian thought. Correcting important errors in previous English editions this translation reflects the contributions of significant advances in Cassirer scholarship over the last twenty to thirty years. Each volume includes a new introduction and translator's notes by Steve G. Lofts a foreword by Peter E. Gordon a glossary of key terms and a thorough index. | The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Three Volume Set

The significance of Marx and Engels' socialist theories for contemporary social development in the Eastern societies is henceforth laid bare.

The University as an Ethical Academy?

The University as an Ethical Academy?

This book examines the importance possibilities and complexities of the university as an ethical academy. Universities may be seen as an evolving network of ethical systems that govern teaching research service and administration. However the university system is changing: adding new rules new ways of working and new ideas to its repertoire of operations. The theories that we have traditionally employed may be now put up for questioning and examination. Universities now comprise a spectacularly large body of regulations and policies both internal and external that cover issues from cheating human subject research academic integrity research on animals environmental ethics and the ethics of sexual harassment. These interconnected ecological systems of ethics have not emerged in one rational process but rather reflect the ongoing historical and dynamic development of law and ethics in relation to the creation of new values. This has played out in a particular political and ideological environment which has produced the university as a set of practices and beliefs and a particular set of rationalities. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Educational Philosophy and Theory. | The University as an Ethical Academy?

The Jews and Modern Capitalism

The Jews and Modern Capitalism

Since its first appearance in Germany in 1911 Jews and Modern Capitalism has provoked vehement criticism. As Samuel Z. Klausner emphasizes the lasting value of Sombart's work rests not in his results-most of which have long since been disproved-but in his point of departure. Openly acknowledging his debt to Max Weber Sombart set out to prove the double thesis of the Jewish foundation of capitalism and the capitalist foundation of Judaism. Klausner placing Sombart's work in its historical and societal context examines the weaknesses and strengths of Jews and Modern Capitalism. | The Jews and Modern Capitalism

Scientific and Medical Knowledge Production 1796-1918 Volume III: Authority

Scientific and Medical Knowledge Production 1796-1918 Volume III: Authority

Increasingly critics accused practitioners of hiding hubris behind their purported humanity and questioned whether an increasingly professional scientific community could retain its grip on the meaning of compassion. This volume presents a set of responses to this criticism and others showing the extent to which the lived-experience of scientific practice became a justification in and of itself for the expression of social political and cultural authority. Bare knowledge as it was presented came with an enormous social valuation. These sources show how that authority changed and grew over time. | Scientific and Medical Knowledge Production 1796-1918 Volume III: Authority

Constructing the East African Community Diffusion from African and European Regional Organizations

Constructing the East African Community Diffusion from African and European Regional Organizations

This book provides a systematic analysis of the establishment and decision-making processes concerning the institutional design of the East African Community (EAC) throughout the 1990s and discusses to what extent these were impacted and inspired by other regional organizations from Africa and Europe. Analysing the decision-making processes that led to the set-up of the EAC the book explores the extent to which they were impacted by several other regional organizations namely the Organization of African Unity (OAU) the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) the Southern African Development Community (SADC) the European Union (EU) and the first EAC. The findings indicate that the relevant east African state and non-state actors adopted substantial aspects from the first EAC the EU and the COMESA and adapted them to set up the current EAC. This book demonstrates that the perception of other regional organizations and their institutional design considerably effected the construction of the EAC; here its own past provided crucial learning objectives which challenges the notion of mimicry or replica regional organizations of the EU in the Global South. This work will be of particular interest to scholars and students of regional and international organizations international relations multilevel governance approaches as well as diffusion literature. | Constructing the East African Community Diffusion from African and European Regional Organizations
