The Ethics of Conceptualization: Tailoring Thought and Language to Need
Matthieu Queloz
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0198926251 | 438 Pages | True PDF | 7.43 MB

Philosophy strives to give us a firmer hold on our concepts. But what about their hold on us? Why place ourselves under the sway of a concept and grant it the authority to shape our thought and conduct? Another conceptualization would carry different implications. What makes one way of thinking better than another? This book develops a framework for concept appraisal. Its guiding idea is that to question the authority of concepts is to ask for reasons of a special kind: reasons for concept use, which tell us which concepts to adopt, adhere to, or abandon, thereby shoring up-or undercutting-the reasons for action and belief that guide our deliberations. Traditionally, reasons for concept use have been sought either in timeless rational foundations or in concepts' inherent virtues, such as precision and consistency. Against this, the book advances two main claims: that we find reasons for concept use in the conceptual needs we discover when we critically distance ourselves from a concept by viewing it from the autoethnographic stance; and that sometimes, concepts that conflict, or exhibit other vices such as vagueness or superficiality, are just what we need. By considering not what concepts are absolutely best, but what concepts we now need, we can reconcile ourselves to the contingency of our concepts, determine the proper place of efforts to tidy up thought, and adjudicate between competing conceptions of things-even things as contested as liberty or free will. A needs-based approach separates helpful clarification from hobbling tidy-mindedness, and authoritative definition from conceptual gerrymandering.

Marlene Kessler, "The European Canton Trade 1723: Competition and Cooperation"
English | ISBN: 3110426234 | 2016 | 442 pages | EPUB, PDF | 29 MB + 2 MB
This critically-commented source edition contains the commercial directions, merchant diary and naval log of four East India Company ships, which sailed from London to Canton, China in 1723, as well as the travelogue of another contemporary trader who sailed from Ostend. It highlights the roles of cooperation and competition in shaping the relations between these and other European companies as well as the everyday lives of European merchants and mariners. The edition thus sheds new light on the history of the East Indies trade during the eighteenth century and its role in encouraging early modern globalization.

The European Reform Logjam and the Economics of Reform By Straubhaar, Thomas; Winkelmann, Rainer
2004 | 153 Pages | ISBN: 3428116593 | PDF | 1 MB
Europa tut sich schwer mit wirtschaftspolitischen Strukturreformen. Oft widersetzen sich vor allem größere EU-Länder ganz dem Druck zur Veränderung, oder es werden nur partielle Reformen durchgeführt. Doch Verzögerungen von Reformen sind mit hohen volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten verbunden: Dazu gehören Wachstums- und Beschäftigungsverluste. Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft deutscher wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Forschungsinstitute hat darum anlässlich ihrer 67. Wissenschaftlichen Tagung Gründe für und Wege aus dem "Reformstau in Europa" gesucht. Erstmalig wurde die Tagung in Kooperation mit einem anderen Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitut, dem Centre for European Policy Studies (Brüssel), durchgeführt.Druck zum Wandel ergibt sich allein schon aus der demographischen Entwicklung in Europa. Die Alterung der Bevölkerung wird zu weniger Steuereinnahmen für die Staaten und zu geringeren Beiträgen für die Sozialversicherungen führen. Ein Beitrag dieses Heftes widmet sich dem deutschen "Sozialstaatsdilemma".Doch das Thema "Economics of Reform" wird nicht nur themenspezifisch, sondern auch aus einer allgemein theoretischen Perspektive betrachtet. Welche Faktoren erschweren resp. erleichtern wirtschaftspolitische Reformen? Wie kann der Erfolg von Reformen (am Beispiel der Arbeitsmarktpolitik in Deutschland) beurteilt werden? Gibt es einen Reformstau im Gesundheitswesen in Europa? Und warum sind Reformen zur Privatisierung kommunaler Leistungen - trotz Wohlfahrtsgewinnen - in den letzten Jahren zum Stillstand gekommen? Die Referate werden jeweils in einem Korreferat kritisch beleuchtet.

The Evolution of Global Paper Industry 1800¬-2050: A Comparative Analysis By Juha-Antti Lamberg, Jari Ojala (auth.), Juha-Antti Lamberg, Jari Ojala, Mirva Peltoniemi, Timo Särkkä (eds.)
2012 | 378 Pages | ISBN: 9400754302 | PDF | 3 MB
This book presents an historical analysis of the global paper industry evolution from a comparative perspective. At the centre are 16 producing countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway, the USA, Germany, Canada, Japan, the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay and Russia). A comparative study of the paper industry evolution can achieve the following important research objectives. First, we can identify the country specific historical features of paper industry evolution and compare them to the general business trends explicable by existing theoretical knowledge. Second, we can identify and isolate the factors causing both the rise and fall of industrial populations. Third, a shared research agenda can produce an intensive analysis of global industry dynamics. Finally, an extended research period of 250 years can identify what is truly unique in the paper industry evolution and the extent to which it took the same path as other important manufacturing industries.

The Evolution of Proust's Combray: A Genetic Study By Maureen A. Ramsden
2020 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 1789977851 | EPUB | 1 MB
This book primarily investigates whether the most important work in the development of Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu was Contre Sainte-Beuve, often assigned this role, or the first, unfinished and, in Proust's lifetime, unpublished novel, Jean Santeuil. Given the length of the final work, this book focuses on the beginning of the first volume, Du Côté de chez Swann, known as Combray. Proust was writing his work on the French literary critic Sainte-Beuve, when it appeared to evolve into the final novel. However, much of the material found in the early work, Jean Santeuil, can also be found in À la recherche, but usually in a very different form or context. By his abandonment of Jean Santeuil, Proust showed he was still searching for the right material and also, even more challenging, a suitable form in which to present it. The technique adopted for the main body of this work is to follow, by means of close readings, the evolution of a character, a place or an episode, from its earliest appearance in the avant-texte, both published and unpublished, to its final place in Combray. The extra layer of the avant-texte also leads to further elucidation of the meaning of this rich and complex novel. Finally, the new presentation of the material in Combray reveals the novel's technical evolution to that of a modernist work.

Fernanda Pratas, "The Expression of Temporal Meaning in Caboverdean "
English | ISBN: 3110668246 | 2021 | 228 pages | EPUB | 1434 KB
One hot topic in contemporary linguistics concerns how we express the passage of time in natural language. In particular, interesting questions have been raised as to how formerly understudied languages fit into deep-rooted theoretical frameworks, which among other features comprise a grammatical category of tense.

This monograph mainly contributes to this debate in two complementary ways: through a detailed description of a large set of new data from two varieties of Caboverdean, a Portuguese-related language, and through a novel approach to the role of its few temporal morphemes, which allows to better define how tense meanings, aspect, and mood, together with other linguistic and extralinguistic information, provide what we understand as past, present, and future.

David B. Hollander, "The Extramercantile Economies of Greek and Roman Cities: New Perspectives on the Economic History of Classical Antiquity"
English | ISBN: 1138544256 | 2019 | 156 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Recent work on the ancient economy has tended to concentrate on market exchange, but other forces also caused goods to change hands. Such nonmarket transfers ranged from small private gifts to the wholesale confiscation of cities, lands, and their peoples. The papers presented in this volume examine aspects of this extramercantile economy, particularly benefaction and the role of associations, as well as their impact on the market economy.

This volume brings together ancient historians, New Testament scholars, and classicists to assess critically the New Institutional Economics framework. Combining theoretical approaches with detailed investigations of particular regions and topics, its chapters examine Greek economic thought, the benefits of membership in private associations, and the economic role of civic euergetism from classical Athens to the municipalities of Roman Spain.

The Faber Pocket Guide to Handel (Pocket Guide - Music) by Edward Blakeman
English | March 19, 2009 | ISBN: 0571238319 | True EPUB | 338 pages | 0.3 MB
The Faber Pocket Guide to Handel offers a detailed but accessible exploration of George Frederick Handel, his composition, and his legacy. A larger-than-life figure in his time, Handel's reputation has been less than steady since his death in 1759. Was he (in the words of Berlioz) just 'a great barrel of pork and beer', or (as Handel himself claimed) truly 'the master of us all'? Now, more than 250 years after his death, there is more interest in Handel than ever before, with his operas (such as Rinaldo and Agrippina) experiencing fantastic renewed popularity. This lively new Pocket Guide goes in search of the composer who wrote the Messiah, Water Music - and much more.

Handy for browsing and reference, key features include:
- Handel's life: year by year
- Handel's operas: a complete guide
- Essential Handel
- Picturing Handel
- Handel on CD and DVD
- Handel Online
Edward Blakeman assesses how Handel's works - incredibly influential in their context of baroque music - have stood the test of time and why they can still speak thrillingly to us today. With recommendations throughout for listening, further reading, and web surfing, this is the ideal guide for music lovers who want to discover the great composer for themselves.

English | January 1, 2010 | ISBN: 0571237363 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 0.3 MB
Richard Wagner remains, almost 130 years after his death, the most controversial composer in the history of music. Creator of huge and hugely ambitious operas, which have an immense immediate impact, as well as providing food for endless thought and discussion, Wagner has had an influence on many fields outside music.

He also provides an outline of Wagner's astonishing life, and shows that he has often been unfairly criticised and made a scapegoat, especially for political events which took place long after his death.
Key features include:
- Wagner: his life year by year
- Wagner: his music work by work
- Things people said about Wagner
- Essential Wagner: ten great moments
- Wagner on CD and DVD
