INTRODUCTION TO COLLEGE PHILOSOPHY

INTRODUCTION TO COLLEGE PHILOSOPHY

By: Victor Moeller

This college course, an Introduction to Philosophy, is not a history of the great philosophers and their systems. It is not a survey of the traditional divisions of philosophy--metaphysics, epistemology, phenomenology, ethics, politics, and aesthetics. It is, however, a process of doing philosophy that takes up some of the basic questions and problems that we will all encounter in life--sooner or later. It is also an application of the Socratic method of teaching and learning that develop habits of independent, critical, and reflective thinking. It is a series of Socratic seminars on the Great Books by the greatest faculty of the Western world and a process that illustrates how to pass from the world of work, need, and empirical science into "the world of all things" (beings) that Being provides

Cut Loose

Jobless and Hopeless in an Unfair Economy

Cut Loose

Jobless and Hopeless in an Unfair Economy

By: Victor Tan Chen

Years after the Great Recession, the economy is still weak, and an unprecedented number of workers have sunk into long spells of unemployment, increasingly unlikely to get another good job in their lifetimes. Based on a careful crossnational comparison, "Cut Loose" describes the experiences of American and Canadian unemployed workers and the impact of the different social policies meant to help them. It focuses on a historically important group: autoworkers. Their well-paid factory jobs built a strong middle class in the decades after World War II. But today, they find themselves lost and beleaguered in a changed economy of greater inequality and risk, one that favors the well-educated--or well-connected. Their declining fortunes tell us something about what the white-collar workforce should expect in the years ahead, as job-killing technologies and the shipping of work overseas take away even more good jobs. Their frustrating experiences with retraining question whether education is really the cure-all it is made out to be. And their grim prospects in the job market reveal today's frenzied competition and harsh culture of judgment that has trickled down to a group long known for its strong belief in equality. "Cut Loose" provides a poignant look at how the long-term unemployed struggle in today's unfair economy to support their families, rebuild their lives, and cope with shame and self-blame. Yet it is also a call to action--a blueprint for a new kind of politics, one that offers a measure of grace in a society of ruthless advancement."--Provided by publisher.

Friendship (Pastoring for Life: Theological Wisdom for Ministering Well)

The Heart of Being Human

By: Victor Lee Austin

A rare and wonderful theological book that turns something ordinary--being a friend--into an expression of God's greatness."--Jeremiah Rood, Foreword (starred review) In this vibrant theological reflection on the meaning of friendship, experienced pastor and leading Christian ethicist Victor Lee Austin argues that friendship is the medium through which God shares grace with his creatures. Mixing personal reflection and theological commentary, Austin provides a fresh reading of classical writers and biblical texts; shows how a robust theology of friendship addresses contemporary controversies in the areas of marriage, celibacy, and homosexuality; and draws on cultural examples of the desire for true friendship. Ultimately, Austin helps readers understand the strange yet real possibility of friendship with God. About the Series Pastors are called to help people navigate the profound mysteries of being human, from birth to death and everything in between. This series, edited by leading pastoral theologian Jason Byassee, provides pastors and pastors-in-training with rich theological reflection on the various seasons that make up a human life, helping them minister with greater wisdom and joy.

Night Class

A Downtown Memoir

By: Victor Corona

The playground of the rich and the beautiful, downtown New York's nightlife spectacles and power of self-invention incubated pop icons from Andy Warhol to Lady Gaga. NYU sociologist Victor P. Corona sought a new education, where night classes held in galleries, nightclubs, bars, apartments, stoops, and all-night diners taught him about love, loss, and the living possibilities of identity. Transforming himself from dowdy professor to glitzy clubgoer, Victor immerses himself among downtown's dazzling tribes of artists and performers hungry for fame. Night Class: A Downtown Memoir investigates the glamour of New York nightlife. In interviews and outings with clubland revelers and influencers, including Party Monster and convicted killer Michael Alig, Night Class exposes downtown's perilous trappings of drugs, ambition, and power. From closeted, undocumented Mexican boy to Ivy League graduate to nightlife writer, Corona shares in Night Class the thrill and tragedy of downtown and how dramatically identities can change.

Globalization and Regionalization

Strategies, Policies, and Economic Environments

By: Peter J. Buckley,Victor V. Cordell

Globalization and Regionalization: Strategies, Policies, and Their Economic Environment puts you on top of the world, with the big picture of global trade and rapid business internationalization at your feet. Youâ€™ll see how the two opposing market forces, globalization and regionalization, have created a new international trade environment. In addition, youâ€™ll see how the recent upsurge in preferential trading arrangements, the new technologies adapted by firms, and the foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade policies of countries and blocs have combined to dramatically change how and why international business is conducted. Globalization and Regionalization is just what it says it is--a guide to understanding the strategies and policies that countries and firms employ to prosper in an international business environment in which globalization and regionalization seem to act as opposing forces. In this unique volume, youâ€™ll discover how some of the top competing business scholars in the world see the way that regionalization and globalization can function as complements to each other, actually becoming the building blocks that lead to global strategies. Specifically, this book gives you world-class information about: how to evaluate trade creation and trade diversion at the country level the dynamics of optimal entry strategy for multinational enterprises (MNEs) the effects of differences between countries’competition policies on cross border mergers and acquisitions the internationalization of services through international banking strategy how an open door policy allows China to play an important role in the recrudescence of globalization Vietnam as host to foreign business activity Globalization and Regionalization is the collective and international result of the World Conference on Globalization and Regionalization at the University of Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne. If youâ€™re an educator, international business director, scholar of international studies, or entrepreneur, youâ€™ll definitely want to get the information that was presented at this important international venue. Overall, this collection will give you a clearer picture of the current direction of international trade in todayâ€™s rapidly shifting and progressive global trade environment.
