Abstract

- Als je waar ook ter wereld zou kunnen zijn, waar zou je dan willen zijn ?- Precies waar ik nu ben. Zo begint een interview met Michael Foley, die ons leert onze wereld te aanvaarden. In Absurde overvloed stelde hij de vraag: hoe komt het dat we zelden nastreven waar we gelukkig van worden? Ruimte, tijd, stilte, daarbij vaart de mens wel, maar we zoeken de drukte op en hebben altijd haast.In Lang leve het gewone formuleert hij een antwoord. In het voetspoor van kunstenaars, filosofen en psychologen beschrijft hij wat de moeite waard kan zijn in ons gewone leven. 'Doe maar gewoon, dan doe je al gek genoeg,' wordt er wel eens gezegd. Foley laat zien dat dit een zeer inspirerende aanmoediging kan zijnBron : http://www.bol.com

Abstract

Despite its recognized significance in social life, leadership is a notoriously elusive subject that generates a host of different points of explanatory focus. This is particularly so in the field of political leadership, which has been afflicted by an enduring split between the biographical idiosyncrasies of individual leaders and the specialist contributions from an array of social science disciplines. This new study is designed to establish an improved balance between this often myopic and confusing bifurcation of approaches.

Abstract

American society may be hostile to the thought of ideologies, but it possesses a sophisticated but little understood ability to engage in deep conflicts over political ideas, while at the same time reducing adversarial positions to legitimate derivatives of American history and development. The study asks how this occurs; how the sources, traditions and usages of core ideas and their derivative compounds animate political discourse and structure the basis of political conflict; andhow it is possible to sustain a high incidence of competitive value-laden argument and principled political confli

Abstract

In a world that demands conspicuous consumption, high-octane relationships and perpetual youth, we can find ourselves tormented by dissatisfaction and anxiety, fearful that everyone is having a better time than we are. This thorny problem of happiness is the subject of Michael Foley's entertaining and witty investigation into how fulfillment eludes us as we work, love and grow old in the twenty-first century. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from the earliest writings to the latest research in psychology, Foley sheds ironic light on the absurd nature of contemporary cultural conditioning. In conclusion, rather than denouncing and rejecting our age, he proposes a strategy of not just accepting but embracing modern life - by learning that absurdity is the new sublime.
