Libertarian Free Will

According to the libertarian position on free will, people sometimes exercise free will, but this freedom is incompatible with the truth of causal determinism. Frequently maligned within the history of philosophy, this view has recently gained increasingly sympathetic attention among philosophers. But stark questions remain: How plausible is this view? If our actions are not causally determined, how can we have control over them? Why should we want our actions to be breaks in the deterministic causal chain?The recent resurgence of interest in libertarianism is due, most significantly, to Robert Kane, who is the leading contemporary defender of this view of free will. This book is a collection of new essays on the libertarian position on free will and related issues that focuses specifically on the views of Kane. Written by a distinguished group of philosophers, the essays cover various areas of philosophy including metaphysics, ethics, and philosophy of mind. Kane contributes a final essay, replying to the criticisms offered in the previous chapters and developing his view in new directions.

Religious Question in Modern China

Recent events - from strife in Tibet and the rapid growth of Christianity in China to the spectacular expansion of Chinese Buddhist organizations around the globe - demonstrate that one cannot understand the modern Chinese world without attending closely to the question of religion. The "Religious Question in Modern China" highlights parallels and contrasts between historical events, political regimes, and cultural movements to explore how religion has challenged and responded to secular Chinese modernity from 1898 to the present. Vincent Goossaert and David A. Palmer piece together the puzzle of religion in China not by looking separately at different religions in different contexts, but by writing a unified story of how religion has shaped, and in turn been shaped by, modern Chinese society. From Chinese medicine and the martial arts to communal temple cults and revivalist redemptive societies, the authors demonstrate that from the nineteenth century onward, as the Chinese state shifted, the religious landscape consistently resurfaced in a bewildering variety of old and new forms.The "Religious Question in Modern China" integrates historical, anthropological, and sociological perspectives in a comprehensive overview of China's religious history that is certain to become an indispensable reference for specialists and students alike.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume responds to a renewed focus on tragedy in theatre and literary studies to explore conceptions of tragedy in the dramatic work of seventeen canonical American playwrights. For students of American literature and theatre studies, the assembled essays offer a clear framework for exploring the work of many of the most studied and performed playwrights of the modern era. Following a contextual introduction that offers a survey of conceptions of tragedy, scholars examine the dramatic work of major playwrights in chronological succession, beginning with Eugene O'Neill and ending with Suzan-Lori Parks. A final chapter provides a study of American drama since 1990 and its ongoing engagement with concepts of tragedy.The chapters explore whether there is a distinctively American vision of tragedy developed in the major works of canonical American dramatists and how this may be seen to evolve over the course of the twentieth century through to the present day. Among the playwrights whose work is examined are: Susan Glaspell, Langston Hughes, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Edward Albee, Lorraine Hansberry, Amiri Baraka, August Wilson, Marsha Norman and Tony Kushner. With each chapter being short enough to be assigned for weekly classes in survey courses, the volume will help to facilitate critical engagement with the dramatic work and offer readers the tools to further their independent study of this enduring theme of dramatic literature.

David Palmer, who grew up fascinated by airplanes, looks back at a lifetime flying in this memoir. Beginning with his graduation from the Naval Academy in 1967 to starting his own air charter business at age fifty-five, he celebrates a series of increasingly fulfilling adventures. Whether it s fighting in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, being a test pilot for General Dynamics, or serving as a member of the navy s Reserve Air Forces, he shares a candid picture of what it is like to be a pilot in war and peace. This book captures not only an individual s drive to be the best he can be in a very difficult and demanding profession but also adds the flavors of camaraderie and fears experienced in extended combat. It adds in the demanding precision of an experimental test pilot. Carrier-based naval aviation provides a unique living on the edge sense of accomplishment that stays with each of us privileged to have had that opportunity, for the rest of our lives. Capt. Jim Ruliffson USN (Ret.), Navy Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) plank owner (1968 70) and Commanding Officer (1975 76)

Arthur Miller for the Twenty-First Century

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Arthur Miller for the Twenty-First Century: Contemporary Views of His Writings and Ideas brings together both established Miller experts and emerging commentators to investigate the sources of his ongoing resonance with audiences and his place in world theatre. The collection begins by exploring Miller in the context of 20th-century American drama. Chapters discuss Miller and Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee, David Mamet, and Sam Shepard, as well as thematic relationships between Miller’s ideas and the explosion of significant women and African American dramatists since the 1970s. Other essays focus more directly on interpretations of Miller’s individual works, not only plays but also essays and fiction, including a discussion of Death of a Salesman in China. The volume concludes by considering Miller and current cultural issues: his work for human rights, his depiction of American ideals of masculinity, and his anticipation of contemporary posthumanism.

Flipped Classroom: Inverting the Architecture of Traditional Pedagogy
Engagement, Autonomy, and the Strategic Redesign of Passive Absorption in the Modern Educational Ecosystem

Läs direkt efter köp
For centuries, the educational model has been paralyzed by a fundamental flaw: students spend their most energetic hours passively listening to a lecture, and their most exhausted hours struggling alone with difficult homework. This structural inefficiency has crushed curiosity and guaranteed academic burnout. The Flipped Classroom explores the radical paradigm shift that is rescuing modern education. By moving passive instructional content (like video lectures and reading) to the home, teachers free up the physical classroom for the real work: active problem-solving, peer collaboration, and immediate expert feedback. This book provides a rigorous breakdown of the cognitive science supporting this inverted architecture. It offers educators a practical blueprint for dismantling the traditional podium, designing high-impact asynchronous materials, and facilitating dynamic, seminar-style discussions that force students to take absolute ownership of their learning. Educators will learn how to bypass the trap of rote memorization, drastically reduce student frustration, and transform their classrooms into highly optimized engines of critical thinking and creative synthesis.
