Abstract

In this innovative work, Marc M. Anderson presents an account of value and value creation, which both defines value and introduces a method to manipulate value practically. Using this new methodology, Anderson first explores where value lies in experience, both human and otherwise, uncovering tendencies in human action and the natural world that create and destroy value. From that analysis, he generates practical principles to be applied in creating value in any region or discipline of human experience, at any scale, including corporate organization and product design, economics, the sciences, the arts, urban and architectural design, and sustainable development. He tests this methodology by focusing on the organization and production of commercial corporations in particular, suggesting ways to rethink and transform organization, product creation, and the contemporary currency system. He considers the implications for the many intersections of corporate production with human life, from urban planning, medicine, and food production to pornography, weaponry, and environmental engagement, with corresponding suggestions for transformation toward value. Throughout, Hyperthematics examines complexity, the nature of objects, the inevitable future intermingling of science and ethics, and assumptions driving the contemporary culture wars.

Abstract

L’École ne peut échapper à la question des valeurs, pas plus que les valeurs ne peuvent échapper à leur mise en question dans et par l’École. Devenue passage obligé pour tous, l’École est en effet le cadre où s’affronte nécessairement la pluralité des idéaux, mais elle est tout aussi nécessairement objet de débat, voire de conflit, entre ceux qui défendent des idéaux différents. Deux questions s’imposent donc : de quelles valeurs l’École doit-elle être porteuse ? Et quelle École voulons-nous pour promouvoir nos valeurs ? Quinze auteurs issus d’horizons différents, historiens, sociologues, psychologues, didacticiens, philosophes, apportent ici leur contribution à l’élaboration de réponses qui voudraient, dépassant la cacophonie ambiante, se faire polyphonie. La première partie dresse un état des lieux qui privilégie un éclairage historique, la seconde prend acte de la crise et pose ce qui peut devenir la base d’un nouveau consensus. La troisième propose un projet pour une École où les valeurs ne courraient plus le risque de se diluer, mais joueraient pleinement leur rôle, celui de valoriser la personne humaine en chacun. Refusant tout unanimisme, cet ouvrage voudrait inviter le lecteur à entendre les résonances qui circulent d’une approche à l’autre et d’un langage à l’autre.

Abstract

Humans are complex social beings. To understand human behaviour, an integrated perspective is required - one which considers both what we regularly do (our personality traits) and what motivates us (our values). Personality, Values, Culture uses an evolutionary perspective to look at the similarities and differences in personality and values across modern societies. Integrating research on personality and human values into a functional framework that highlights their underlying compatibilities (driven by shared genetic and brain mechanisms), Fischer describes how personality is shaped by the complex interplay between genes and the environment, both over the course of human evolution and within the lifespan of individuals. He proposes a gene-culture coevolution model of personality and values to explain how and why people differ around the world and how genes, economics, social conditions, and climate jointly shape personality

Abstract

How does one lead a life of law, love, and freedom? This inquiry has very deep roots in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Indeed, the divergent answers to this inquiry mark the transition from Judeo to Christian. This book returns to those roots to trace the twists and turns that these ideas have taken as they move from the sacred to the secular. It relates our most important mode of social organization, law, to two of our most cherished values, love and freedom. In this book, Joshua Neoh sketches the moral vision that underlies our modern legal order and traces our secular legal ideas (constitutionalism versus anarchism) to their theological origins (monasticism versus antinomianism). Law, Love, and Freedom brings together a diverse cast of characters, including Paul and Luther, Augustine and Aquinas, monks and Gnostics, and constitutionalists and anarchists. This book is valuable to any lawyers, philosophers, theologians and historians, who are interested in law as a humanistic discipline.
