Emergence in Complex, Cognitive, Social, and Biological Systems

Autor: Gianfranco Minati , Eliano Pessa

Número de Páginas: 390

The systems movement is made up of many systems societies as well as of disciplinary researchers and researches, explicitly or implicitly focusing on the subject of systemics, officially introduced in the scientific community fifty years ago. Many researches in different fields have been and continue to be sources of new ideas and challenges for the systems community. To this regard, a very important topic is the one of EMERGENCE. Between the goals for the actual and future systems scientists there is certainly the definition of a general theory of emergence and the building of a general model of it. The Italian Systems Society, Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sui Sistemi (AIRS), decided to devote its Second National Conference to this subject. Because AIRS is organized under the form of a network of researchers, institutions, scholars, professionals, and teachers, its research activity has an impact at different levels and in different ways. Thus the topic of emergence was not only the focus of this conference but it is actually the main subject of many AIRS activities.

Autor: Guido Mazzoni

Número de Páginas: 265

Tem a convicção de que foi criado para fazer muito mais, mas ainda duvida do seu potencial. Acredite em você! vai ajudá-lo a rever seus conceitos e conquistar a tão necessária autoconfiança. Primeira mulher CEO de uma marca L'Oréal, Jamie Kern Lima passou por altos e baixos antes de alcançar o sucesso: foi garçonete de uma rede de fast-food, participou da primeira edição do Big Brother norte-americano, trabalhou como apresentadora de um telejornal e, ao ser diagnosticada com rosácea e não encontrar nenhum produto de maquiagem que se adaptasse à sua pele, fundou uma empresa de beleza que se tornou um sucesso comercial, a IT Cosmetics.

Aos poucos, a IT Cosmetics ganhou espaço no mercado da beleza, sendo comprada, anos depois, por 1,2 bilhão de dólares pela L'Oréal.

From Oikonomia to Political Economy

Autor: Germano Maifreda

Número de Páginas: 329

Renaissance Europe witnessed a surge of interest in new scientific ideas and theories. Whilst the study of this 'Scientific Revolution' has dramatically shifted our appreciation of many facets of the early-modern world, remarkably little attention has been paid to its influence upon one key area; that of economics. Through an interrogation of the relationship between economic and scientific developments in early-modern Western Europe, this book demonstrates how a new economic epistemology appeared that was to have profound consequences both at the time, and for subsequent generations. Dr Maifreda argues that the new attention shown by astronomers, physicians, aristocrats, men of letters, travellers and merchants for the functioning of economic life and markets, laid the ground for a radically new discourse that envisioned 'economics' as an independent field of scientific knowledge. By researching the historical context surrounding this new field of knowledge, he identifies three key factors that contributed to the cultural construction of economics. Firstly, Italian Humanism and Renaissance, which promoted new subjects, methods and quantitative analysis. Secondly, European...

Octavio Paz

Autor: Oliver Kozlarek

Número de Páginas: 267

Octavio Paz is one of the most recognized Latin American writers. His essays offer a sophisticated critique of global modernity. Although his work has advanced many of the arguments that orient our contemporary debates in the social sciences and in philosophy, it has hardly ever been seriously taken into consideration in these disciplines. The volume suggests that this may have been a mistake. Its authors indicate ways in which Paz' essays can be read as substantial contributions to the contemporary debates in various fields. The aim of this book is to present to a non-Spanish speaking audience some of the discussions about Paz' offerings to the ongoing debates. It also wants to make a clear statement: a critique of our contemporary modernity must go hand in hand with a non-exclusive intercultural understanding of Humanism.

The case against evolution

Autor: George Barry O'toole

Número de Páginas: 279

In "The Case Against Evolution," George Barry O'Toole meticulously articulates a critical examination of the evolutionary paradigm, advocating for an alternative perspective grounded in intelligent design principles. The book navigates through scientific, philosophical, and theological domains, presenting a compelling critique of mainstream evolutionary theory while utilizing a clear and didactic prose style. O'Toole structures his arguments with logical rigor, engaging with contemporary debates in the fields of biology and genetics to illuminate perceived gaps in the evolutionary framework, ultimately inviting readers to re-evaluate accepted scientific doctrines. George Barry O'Toole, an established figure in the discourse surrounding science and philosophy, draws from his extensive background in education and advocacy for thought-provoking dialogue in science education.

O'Toole's insights are reflective of a broader societal inquiry into the...

Theatre Translation in Performance

Autor: Silvia Bigliazzi , Paola Ambrosi , Peter Kofler

Número de Páginas: 266

This volume focuses on the highly debated topic of theatrical translation, one brought on by a renewed interest in the idea of performance and translation as a cooperative effort on the part of the translator, the director, and the actors. Exploring the role and function of the translator as co-subject of the performance, it addresses current issues concerning the role of the translator for the stage, as opposed to the one for the editorial market, within a multifarious cultural context. The current debate has shown a growing tendency to downplay and challenge the notion of translational accuracy in favor of a recreational and post-dramatic attitude, underlying the role of the director and playwright instead. This book discusses the delicate balance between translating and directing from an intercultural, semiotic, aesthetic, and interlingual perspective, taking a critical stance on approaches that belittle translation for the theatre or equate it to an editorial practice focused on literality. Chapters emphasize the idea of dramatic translation as a particular and extremely challenging type of performance, while consistently exploring its various textual, intertextual,...

L’uomo eterno

Autor: Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Número de Páginas: 238

In questa brillante ricostruzione della storia della civiltà, G.K. Chesterton sfida le concezioni materialistiche ed evoluzioniste del suo tempo, in particolare quelle di H.G. Wells, per affermare l’unicità dell’essere umano quale privilegiato destinatario del messaggio cristiano. Come scrive Marco Sermarini nella sua Nota bibliografica, con quest’opera egli «dimostra che il Cristianesimo è il massimo fattore di civiltà di tutti i tempi. Come si parla del Cristianesimo fonte di sanità mentale per l’uomo, ora qui si parla del Cristianesimo fattore di civiltà per il mondo». Con l’obiettivo di delineare una forma di progresso conforme alla dignità umana, Chesterton passa in rassegna le grandi tappe del viaggio spirituale che ci ha portato fuori dalle caverne rupestri per creare comunità, edificare cattedrali, raccogliere il sapere nelle biblioteche, ingegnarci a risolvere problemi pratici di convivenza alla luce di una spinta, spesso inconsapevole, verso ciò che ci trascende e ci rende tutti fratelli e sorelle. Un libro potente, capace di convertire C.S. Lewis dall’ateismo e di interrogarci ancora oggi sul fondamento e sulla direzione del nostro cammino dalla...

Sexuality and Procreation in the Age of Biotechnology

Autor: Paola Marion

Número de Páginas: 177

Through the lens of psychoanalytic thought about sexuality, the book examines changes in the area of procreation and generation, the disjunction between sexuality and procreation introduced by biotechnology and some new methods of reproduction, and their impact on the essential moments of existence (birth, illness, death) and the most intimate aspects of personal identity (sexuality, procreation, body). At the centre of this book is the thesis that the disjunction between sexuality and procreation brought about by biotechnology represents a new scenario and introduces elements of discontinuity. What kind of effects on individuals will the modifications introduced by biotechnologies in the field of procreation have? How can these changes affect even the most profound aspects of personal identity, including body and sexuality? How might they interfere with the sphere of desire? The book investigates the new scenarios and the consequences which are emerging, such as an alteration of personal boundaries, both in spatial and temporal terms, which is reflected in our way of thinking about ourselves and our relationships and the assertion of an unconscious fantasy that the limits imposed ...

On the Economic Identification of Social Classes

Autor: Guglielmo Carchedi

Número de Páginas: 236

First published in 1977, On the Economic Identification of Social Classes centres around the economic identification – the definition in terms of production relations – of social classes, focussing on the developed capitalist countries. The basic stages of capitalist development are considered, with special emphasis on monopoly capitalism. The book includes a detailed analysis of the functional element of the capitalist production relations; the identification, in terms of production and distribution relations, of the new middle class under monopoly capitalism; and the analysis of the process of proletarianism of this class. New theoretical concepts – of position, devaluation of labour power through dequalification of positions, and of capitalist and non-capitalist state activities – are developed to further the discussions, which, although fresh in approach, are immersed in the complex texture of Marxist thought. This book will be of interest to students of economics and sociology.

The Military and Militarism in Israeli Society

Autor: Edna Lomsky-feder , Eyal Ben-ari

Número de Páginas: 334

The Military and Militarism in Israeli Society systematically examines the cultural and social construction of 'things military' within Israel. Contributors from comparative literature, film studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, history, and cultural studies explore the arenas in which the centrality of military matters are produced and reproduced by the state and by other public bodies. Analysis is presented using three perspectives: the production and reproduction of collective representations; the dynamics of gender, voice, and resistance; and the construction of individual life-worlds.

The Crisis of Church and State, 1050-1300

Autor: Brian Tierney , Medieval Academy Of America

Número de Páginas: 228

From the Introduction: We need not be surprised, then, that in the Middle Ages also there were rulers who aspired to supreme political and temporal power. The truly exceptional thing is that in medieval times there were always at least two claimants to the role, each commanding a formidable apparatus of government, and that for century after century neither was able to dominate the other completely, so that the duality persisted, was eventually rationalized in works of political theory and ultimately built into the structure of European society. This situation profoundly influenced the development of Western constitutionalism.

Canon Law

Autor: Libero Gerosa

Número de Páginas: 294

One of the main demands of Vatican II Council with respect to Canon Law was to always focus on the mystery of the Church. This clear and distinct position led to a renewal of the methodology applied to the discipline of Canon Law in almost all post-conciliar "schools". The canonistic demand however, similarly to change the didactic tools, the teaching material, in this new context has proved to be less significant. Knowing the importance and the urgency of this initiative has been a strong source of motivation to the author. The leading and inspiring idea behind this initiative is the conviction that the formal principles of Canon Law, both as the inner structure of the Church community as well as a proper scientific method, are the three fundamental elements of the constitution of the Church: the Word, the Sacrament and Charisma.

Literature’s Contributions to Scientific Knowledge

Autor: Dario Maestripieri

Número de Páginas: 156

The most important intellectual development in the academy in the 21st century has been the forging of new relationships between the sciences and the humanities and the realization that interdisciplinary scholarship holds the promise of the unification of all knowledge. This groundbreaking book shows how this can be fulfilled. Through a wide-ranging analysis of arguments concerning the complementarity of arts and sciences advanced by Schelling and Goethe and those about the cognitive value of literature articulated by contemporary philosophers, the book shows that literary fiction can contribute to the scientific understanding of human nature. With a careful and original examination of autobiographical material and literary texts, it demonstrates that European novelists such as Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Italo Svevo, and Elias Canetti conducted ambitious and innovative literary explorations of the human mind and human behavior using Darwinian theory as their scientific framework, and, in doing so, they anticipated the theoretical developments and empirical findings of cognitive, social, and evolutionary psychology by almost 100 years. The work of these novelists was largely...

Truth and Interpretation

Autor: Luigi Pareyson

Número de Páginas: 253

Luigi Pareyson (1918–1991) was one of the most important Italian philosophers to emerge after World War II and stands shoulder to shoulder with fellow hermeneutic thinkers Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur. The product of a well-developed theory of interpretation that stretches back to the late 1940s, his 1971 masterpiece Truth and Interpretation provides the historical impetus and theoretical framework for the questions of existence, art, and politics that would motivate his most famous students, Umberto Eco and Gianni Vattimo. In a time when the meaning of truth as an interpretation is challenged by the chaotic din of media on the one side and the violent force of absolute claims from science, religion, and political economy on the other, Pareyson's meditation on the value of thinking that is shaped by the traditions of philosophy and yet responds to contemporary demands remains timely and pressing more than forty years after its initial publication.

Exploring Business Language and Culture

Número de Páginas: 280

This book aims to present the results of research in the sphere of business language and culture, as well as the experience of pedagogical staff and practitioners concerned with broadly understood business. The highly complex nature of contemporary business environment, approached from both the theoretical and practical standpoint, does not cease to prove that research into business studies cannot be dissociated from the cultural and linguistic context. The chapters included in this book were contributed by academics and practitioners alike, which offers a balanced approach to the topic and ensures high levels of diversity together with an undeniable homogeneity. They were gathered with a view to show various aspects of business language, perceived both as a medium of communication and as a subject of research and teaching. They are concerned with business culture as well, including business ethics and representations of business in popular culture. Owing to its multidisciplinary approach, the book presents a roadmap towards successful functioning in business settings, highlighting such issues as education for business purposes, the study of language used in business contexts, the ...

Semiotics of Re-reading

Autor: Anthony Julian Tamburri

Número de Páginas: 148

This study examines the necessity of reading retrospectively. In this manner, the reader who comes along after the composition of an author's opus may better understand the author's earlier works after reading a later one. In contrast to a reader contemporary to the text, who does not have the opportunity of 'hind-sight, ' this special reader (recto-lector) draws on information gathered from a later text in order to understand a previously composed text. For example, the relationship between Aldo Palazzeschi's: riflessi (1908) and his later manifestoes (1914-1915) amply demonstrates the value and necessity of such a reading process: this is especially true with regard to non-canonial writers as is Palazzeschi. The retro-lector of: riflessi, therefore, comes away with an interpretation both different and more complete than that which the contemporary reader would acquire after a strict canonical reading. Along with works by Palazzeschi, 'Semiotics of Re-reading' also examines poetry by Guido Gozzano and short fiction by Italo Calvino
