Book Description

Examen fresco y no ortodoxo de los conceptos filosóficos clave y de las hipótesis en las ciencias sociales. Analizando los campos que la filosofía y las ciencias sociales comparten, como los de hecho, causa y valor, Bunge afirma que los científicos sociales (antropólogos, sociólogos, científicos políticos, economistas, historiadores) no deben dejar la filosofía a los filósofos, que tienen pocas habilidades en, o poco conocimiento de las ciencias sociales. El autor insta a los científicos sociales a involucrarse en la práctica de la filosofía seria y a los filósofos a participar en la investigación social.

Book Description

This volume has 41 chapters written to honor the 100th birthday of Mario Bunge. It celebrates the work of this influential Argentine/Canadian physicist and philosopher. Contributions show the value of Bunge’s science-informed philosophy and his systematic approach to philosophical problems. The chapters explore the exceptionally wide spectrum of Bunge’s contributions to: metaphysics, methodology and philosophy of science, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of physics, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of social science, philosophy of biology, philosophy of technology, moral philosophy, social and political philosophy, medical philosophy, and education. The contributors include scholars from 16 countries. Bunge combines ontological realism with epistemological fallibilism. He believes that science provides the best and most warranted knowledge of the natural and social world, and that such knowledge is the only sound basis for moral decision making and social and political reform. Bunge argues for the unity of knowledge. In his eyes, science and philosophy constitute a fruitful and necessary partnership. Readers will discover the wisdom of this approach and will gain insight into the utility of cross-disciplinary scholarship. This anthology will appeal to researchers, students, and teachers in philosophy of science, social science, and liberal education programmes. 1. Introduction Section I.

Book Description

Creativity must be turned into innovation that adds value and leads to strategic action. Innovation is often associated with Silicon Valley, expensive research and development departments, and expensive commercialization that primarily benefits a small portion of the world’s population. A small portion of the world’s population working together to solve wicked green problems is not enough either. Green creativity and eco-innovation are necessary to help solve green problems by making products and services available and affordable to the masses. Multidisciplinary Approaches in AI, Creativity, Innovation, and Green Collaboration focuses on the importance of green creativity, eco-innovation, and collaboration to create a more sustainable world. It builds on the available literature and joint expertise in the field of management while providing further research opportunities in this dynamic field. Covering topics such as eco-leadership, green marketing, and social responsibility communication, this premier reference source is a comprehensive and timely resource for government officials, decision makers, business leaders and executives, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Book Description

Este libro es resultado de un trabajo colectivo llevado adelante por un grupo de investigadores de distintos perfiles, orígenes institucionales y hasta de diferentes edades. La idea que los convocó fue la posibilidad de desarrollar, a partir de la construcción de la noción dominio político, algunos de los ya clásicos problemas tratados por la Ciencia Política. Las cuestiones de orden metodológico, las correspondientes al Estado, la democracia, la representación, la ciudadanía y los movimientos sociales se tomaron como casos testigos del desafío teórico asumido. Estos fenómenos debían ser construidos en sus propias singularidades para ser enmarcados en el cuadro ofrecido por el dominio político como noción devenida en categoría-instrumento.

Book Description

In this three-volume set, an international team of experts involved in the research, management, and mitigation of hate-motivated violence examines and explains hate crimes in the United States and around the globe, drawing comparisons between countries as well as between hate crimes overall and domestic terrorism. The Psychology of Hate Crimes as Domestic Terrorism: U.S. and Global Issues takes a hard look at hate crimes both domestically and internationally, enabling readers to see similarities and disparities as well as to make the connections between hate crimes and domestic terrorism. The entries in this three-volume set discuss subjects such as the psychology and motivation in hate crimes, the cultural norms that shape tolerance of outgroups or tolerance of hate, and the fact that hate crimes are a pervasive form of domestic terrorism, as well as myriad issues of proliferation, public policy, policing, law and punishment, and prevention. The set opens with an introduction that discusses hate crime research and examines issues of identification of the bias element of hate crimes via empirical and case vignettes. The subsequent chapters discuss subjects such as the socio-demographic profiles of hate crime offenders; hate crime legislation and policy in the United States; the effects of hate crime on their victims as well as society; the incidence of hate crime in specific regions, such as Europe, the Middle East, and South America; and programs and therapeutic interventions to heal victims. Readers will also learn how specific educational approaches in communities, schools, and universities can be implemented to help prevent future escalation of hate-motivated violence.
