Book Description
Nos encontramos ante una revolución que pone en entredicho la manera en que entendemos la realidad. Esta revolución parte de que ante la complejidad del mundo actual ya no es posible una visión única para explicarlo, por lo que las distintas ciencias y disciplinas se ven obligadas a trabajar juntas, para avanzar hacia un conocimiento mejor articulado. (ITESO) Multi, inter y transdisciplina se denomina a estas alternativas en la forma de pensar, las que hacen uso de nuevos lenguajes y métodos, formas de organización y de investigación, y que se les conoce, entre otras nomenclaturas, como “paradigma de complejidad”. Dado que se trata de un concepto en construcción, desde un diálogo abierto y propositivo en este libro se analizan las principales convergencias y divergencias de las distintas vertientes teórico–metodológicas en la materia, así como el modo en que estas pueden coadyuvar al desarrollo integral del paradigma de la complejidad, como una nueva alternativa de pensar y conocer la realidad para comprender mejor al mundo moderno y las sociedades que lo componen. El autor aporta este un esfuerzo innovador que funciona como una introducción inteligente y creativa a la problemática de este modelo de conocimiento para todo aquel que tenga interés en aventurarse en este campo del saber.

Disciplined Mind
Author: Howard Gardner
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982176954
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This brilliant and revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences reexamines the goals of education to support a more educated society for future generations. Howard Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences has been hailed as perhaps the most profound insight into education since the work of Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and even John Dewey. Here, in The Disciplined Mind, Garner pulls together the threads of his previous works and looks beyond such issues as charters, vouchers, unions, and affirmative action in order to explore the larger questions of what constitutes an educated person and how this can be achieved for all students. Gardner eloquently argues that the purpose of K–12 education should be to enhance students’ deep understanding of the truth (and falsity), beauty (and ugliness), and goodness (and evil) as defined by their various cultures. By exploring the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust as a set of examples that illuminates the nature of truth, beauty, and morality, The Disciplined Mind envisions how younger generations will rise to the challenges of the future—while preserving the traditional goals of a “humane” education. Gardner’s ultimate goal is the creation of an educated generation that understands the physical, biological, and societal world in their own personal context as well as in a broader world view. But even as Gardner persuasively argues the merits of his approach, he recognizes the difficulty of developing one universal, ideal form of education. In an effort to reconcile conflicting educational viewpoints, he proposes the creation of six different educational pathways that, when taken together, can satisfy people’s concern for student learning and their widely divergent views about knowledge and understanding overall.

Defending the Land of the Jaguar
Author: Lane Simonian
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292776918
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
Mexican conservationists have sometimes observed that it is difficult to find a country less interested in the conservation of its natural resources than is Mexico. Yet, despite a long history dedicated to the pursuit of development regardless of its environmental consequences, Mexico has an equally long, though much less developed and appreciated, tradition of environmental conservation. Lane Simonian here offers the first panoramic history of conservation in Mexico from pre-contact times to the current Mexican environmental movement. He explores the origins of conservation and environmental concerns in Mexico, the philosophies and endeavors of Mexican conservationists, and the enactment of important conservation laws and programs. This heretofore untold story, drawn from interviews with leading Mexican conservationists as well as archival research, will be important reading throughout the international community of activists, researchers, and concerned citizens interested in the intertwined issues of conservation and development.

The Unity of Reason : Rereading Kant
Author: Susan Neiman Professor of Philosophy Tel Aviv University
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0199772118
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
The Unity of Reason is the first major study of Kant's account of reason. It argues that Kant's wide-ranging interests and goals can only be understood by redirecting attention from epistemological questions of his work to those concerning the nature of reason. Rather than accepting a notion of reason given by his predecessors, a fundamental aim of Kant's philosophy is to reconceive the nature of reason. This enables us to understand Kant's insistence on the unity of theoretical and practical reason as well as his claim that his metaphysics was driven by practical and political ends. Neiman begins by discussing the historical roots of Kant's conception of reason, and by showing Kant's solution to problems which earlier conceptions left unresolved. Kant's notion of reason itself is examined through a discussion of all the activities Kant attributes to reason. In separate chapters discussing the role of reason in science, morality, religion, and philosophy, Neiman explores Kant's distinctions between reason and knowledge, and his difficult account of the regulative principles of reason. Through examination of these principles in Kant's major and minor writings, The Unity of Reason provides a fundamentally new perspective on Kant's entire work.

Reclaiming the History of Ethics
Author: Andrews Reath
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521472407
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
The essays in this volume offer an approach to the history of moral and political philosophy that takes its inspiration from John Rawls. The distinctive feature of this approach is to address substantive normative questions in moral and political philosophy through an analysis of the texts and theories of major figures in the history of the subject: Aristotle, Hobbes, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, and Marx. By reconstructing the core of these theories in a way that is informed by contemporary theoretical concerns, the contributors show how the history of the subject is a resource for understanding present and perennial problems in moral and political philosophy.
