Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - \* If a severe misfortune makes your life better, was it unfortunate \* Could it be that 50% of competent medical doctors ought promptly to retire \* Might a justice system threaten with unjust punishment, to avert the need for punishment \* Could things become too good, morally \* Can terrorists morally complain if innocent people they care about are harmed The importance of paradox in the study of philosophy, from metaphysics to logic, is evident from the abundant literature on the subject. But until now, very little critical study of paradox within ethics has been available.The first of its kind, this cutting edge work of philosophical ethics makes a powerful case for the centrality of moral paradox. Presenting ten diverse and original moral paradoxes, the book challenges some of our deepest moral views. This innovative volume also asks whether the existence of moral paradox is damaging or beneficial, and explores more generally what paradoxicality can teach us about morality and life. Concise and provocative, 10 Moral Paradoxes presents analytic moral philosophy in an engaging way; posing new questions, proposing possible solutions, and challenging the reader to wrestle with the paradoxes.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The new edition of this bestselling book builds on the author's extensive administrative and consulting experience as well as scholarship on faculty rewards. It includes additional discussion of important foundational issues as well as practical forms and ideas gleaned from disciplinary groups and campuses throughout the nation. Like the first edition of Peer Review of Teaching, this new edition is offered in the hope that providing examples and suggestions will not reduce the important work of peer review to mere forms or rigid procedures, but will empower faculty to articulate criteria and standards, perform the reviews systematically and thoughtfully, and realize that engaging in peer review is an approachable and worthwhile professional task. Updated to reflect the emphasis on student learning as the ultimate goal of college teaching, it incorporates new ideas and references from the literature. The most notable change in this edition is a discussion of peer review within special contexts for teaching, such as clinics, studios, and practice settings. The turn to active engagement in learning has also led to increased use of problem-based learning, the case study method, and other approaches that traditional forms for peer review do not address. Similarly, the explosion of the use of instructional technology calls for an articulation of new approaches to evaluating web-based instruction.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book will revolutionize the way you describe, plan and improve your business.Developed over thirty years and proven in over 500 projects within major organizations, xBML is the world's first scientific method for describing business. Using a system of diagrams based on an intuitive framework of five Ws (Who does What, with Which information, Where and When ), xBML gives companies a comprehensive view of their enterprise - one that depicts precisely the complex relationships between operations, information, resources and technology within a multi-dimensional model. In essence, it unlocks the genetic code of the organization. And, like a genetic code, this information can then be called upon repeatedly to describe, to plan and to improve.It's time to throw out the flow charts. The dream of accurately describing a business once, in terms that make sense to everyone, and then re-using this information time and again is at last a reality. xBML bridges the enterprise divide, providing the means for clear, concise communication between all members of an organization. Major companies have already saved over $2 billion using the approach, and thousands of individuals have been trained in the methodology. Read this book, and discover why unlocking your organization's Business Genetics will lead to quantifiable business improvement.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book is an attempt to reclaim the knowledge of God as just that - knowledge.It is no secret that theology is no longer considered a necessary subject in the modern university. Why is it assumed that the kind of knowledge theology represents is in some fashion deficient when compared to other subjects Hauerwas argues that theology is often excluded from the knowledges of the modern university because those knowledges are constituted by an understanding of time necessary to make economic and state realities seem inevitable. Yet it is precisely this difference that makes Christian theology, while being governed by a different understanding of time than that characteristic of the other disciplines of the university, an essential resource for the university to achieve its task - that is, to form people who are able to imagine a different world through critical and disciplined reflection.Hauerwas subsequently challenges the domesticated character of much recent theology by suggesting how prayer and the love of the poor are essential practices that should shape the theological task. Hauerwas makes this case by conversing with figures as diverse as Luigi Giussani, David Burrell, Stanley Fish, Wendell Berry, Jeff Stout, Rowan Williams and Sheldon Wolin.
