On Twenty-Five Years of Social Epistemology
Author: James H. CollierPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134911211
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This edited collection charts the development of, and prospects for, conceiving knowledge as a social phenomenon. The origin, aims and growth of the journal Social Epistemology, founded in 1987, serves to anchor each of the book’s contributions. Each contribution offers a unique, but related, insight on current issues affecting the organization and production of knowledge. In addition, each contribution proposes necessary questions, practices and frameworks relevant to the rapidly changing landscape of our conceptions of knowledge. The book examines the commercialization of science, the neoliberal university, the status and conduct of philosophy, the cultures of computer software and social networking, the practical, political and anthropological applications of social epistemology, and how we come to define what human beings are and what activities human beings can, and should, sustain. A diverse group of noted, international scholars lends necessary, original and challenging perspectives on our collective approach to knowledge. This book was originally published as a special issue of Social Epistemology.

Book Description
Praise for Bruce's History Lessons "If only history were taught the way Bruce Kauffmann writes about it, we'd have a nation of history buffs. He zeroes in on pivotal moments, relates them in conversational language and connects yesterday to today with skill and insight. And his gift for brevity always leaves me wanting to know more." - Gayle Beck, The Repository, Canton, Ohio "Mr. Kauffmann - Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your articles. I have taught high school social studies for 33 years and the last several years I have used a lot of your articles in my class." - Craig Grow, Sullivan, IN "Mr. Kauffmann, Your History Lessons column is a "must read" for me. My husband and I both greatly enjoy the interesting nuggets of overlooked events, corrections of misconceptions, or "how it came to be" that you write about. 'Did you read Bruce today?' is a common refrain over Sunday morning coffee." - Diane Pritchard, Champaign, IL "Dear Bruce, Thanks for the History Lessons that my mom has sent me. They are published in her Worcester, MA, Sunday paper. I have really enjoyed them and as a former educator, I think they make a great learning tool. You get a Gold Star!!!!!!" - Ginny Decker, Alabama

The Twenty-five Years that Changed the World
Author: Kent AugustsonPublisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 1977232310
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
The Twenty-five Years that Changed the World is the second book in the Our Place in Time trilogy portraying the advancement of the four major civilizations extant today—Confucian China, Hindu India, the Muslim Middle East, and the Christian West. With their expansion, they represent 85% of the world’s population. The intent of these works—including the prequel, Our Axial Age—is to understandably capture the march of history with its pronounced progress in time while highlighting the fascinating people involved. In this work it is argued that, for the three-hundred-year period from 1400-1700, every happening of key consequence remarkably had some major connection with the brief quarter century from 1501 to 1526. The colorful people brought to life include: • The eunuch admiral whose treasure ships were the grandest armadas in Chinese history. • The most magnificent and memorable sultan in the history of the Ottoman Empire. • India’s splendid Mughal emperor who built the Taj Mahal for his beloved wife who died in childbirth. • The two great contemporary geniuses who, for all their extraordinary art, were far apart. • The personable father of science and the enigmatic playwright who heralded a new age. • The mystic Muslim and the stubborn Christian who secured their faith’s structural division.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
This book considers the problem of providing maximum access to transport services, and to roads for the rural population of the world's developing countries when limited funds are available. Access is a key factor in both social and economic development. It promotes social intercourse and opens up markets for both the rural and urban populations. Access connotes the ability to travel and to transport goods. The components of access include both the infrastructure and the transport modes or aids that use the infrastructure.
