Abstract

In the last fifty years, there has been a growing interest in the power of polarities as it relates to leadership and business success. Whether referred to as paradoxes, dilemmas or polarities, research shows that leaders and organizations who manage them well outperform those who don't. In Power Surge, Margaret Seidler takes the basic principles of Polarity Management and translates them to raise self-awareness for both personal and work relationships. Polarity Management principles provide a broader view and give clarity to what makes you strong and potentially stronger. The principles apply

Abstract

The papers collected in this volume are expanded from papers given at the 6th Global Conference on Evil and Human Wickedness, which took place in March 2005. The chapters here represent the diversity and interdisciplinary nature of the conference itself covering topics such as historical and theological concepts of evil, media representations of evil, contemporary debates surrounding the Bosnia war and woman perpetrators in Birkenau, and the construction of the Other as evil in the face of the continuing hysteria over AIDS. The range of the papers collected here makes this book essential reading for students of all humanities disciplines.

Abstract

What is good, how do we know, and how important is it? In this book, one of our most respected analytical philosophers reorients these questions around the notion of what causes human beings to flourish. Observing that we can sensibly address what is good for plants and animals no less than what is good for people, Kraut applies a general principle to the entire living world: what is good for complex organisms consists in the exercise of their natural powers.

Abstract

Earth's magnetic field is currently changing dramatically. Is the observed decrease of the dipole moment indicating a future polarity transition? What would be the effects of such a drastic change on system Earth? Can any positive or negative effects on our biosphere or even humans be expected? This book gives a first overview about the geomagnetic field in general and serves as an introduction into geomagnetism. As the topic of the book covers a wide range of scientific disciplines, the first chapter summarises basic principles of geomagnetism and related fields including a historic overview, instruments and measurements, paleomagnetic fields, basics of dynamo theory, etc. The contributed chapters review major results of international activities aiming at understanding the causes and effects of geomagnetic field variations in view of the questions above.

Abstract

Les seize questions disputées sur le mal de Thomas d'Aquin (1225-1274) constituent l'œuvre médiévale la plus importante sur ce thème. Ce livre reproduit le texte intégral de la question une qui aborde les aspects les plus fondamentaux du mal : qu'est-ce que le mal ? D'où vient-il ? Pourquoi le mal ? Comment le mal se produit-il ? Comment affecte-t-il quelqu'un ? Sous quelles formes se rencontre-t-il et laquelle est la pire ? Comment les différents maux se distinguent-ils ? Quelle est la part de responsabilité de l'homme dans les maux qu'il subit, et quelle est celle de Dieu ? Pourquoi Dieu n'a-t-il pas créé l'homme de telle manière qu'il ne puisse pas faire ou subir le mal ? Ces interrogations impliquent parallèlement une étude du bien : qu'est-ce que le bien et d'où vient-il ? Comment bien et mal sont-ils opposés ? Le mal peut-il avoir un caractère de bien ? Le Bien suprême qui est Dieu, est-il à l'origine du mal, et dans l'affirmative, comment et pourquoi ? Le lecteur contemporain appréciera l'exactitude et l'originalité des réponses que Thomas d'Aquin apporte à ces interrogations toujours d'actualité. Une introduction détaillée ainsi qu'un commentaire suivi l'aideront à en tirer entièrement profit.
