Eric Voegelin on China and Universal Humanity
Eric Voegelin on China and Universal Humanity: A Study of Voegelin’s Hermeneutic Empirical Paradigm aims to speak to comparative political theorists, philosophers, historians, sinologists, and anyone interested in understanding our current disorders and exploring a culturally non-specific paradigm for understanding equivalent practices and patterns in the global age, especially China and the West. Specifically, this book looks at Eric Voegelin’s (1901–1985) Theory of Order. It focuses on Voegelin’s interpretation of order/disorder, his penetration of the Tianxia (the Chinese Ecumene), and his comparison of two representative heterogenous Ecumenes in the ancient West and East. In doing so, the book explores the issue of universal humankind and the nature of order-searching.
Intelligent Systems
The two volumes of the proceedings of the GWIC'94 conference include state-of-the-art research in the areas of neural networks, artificial intelligence, intelligent databases, image processing and algorithms with application to artificial intelligence. New methods for training feedforward neural networks that accelerate the convergence and verify the training are included. State-of-the-art adaptive back-propagation neural network algorithms based on selective retraining of patterns through error analysis and dynamic adaptation are described. Development of intelligent databases for effective use of information, formal specifications and design language for building large intelligent database applications is presented. State-of-the-art machine-learning expert systems for intelligent tutoring are also included. Finally, intelligent image processing and computer graphics algorithms with applications to medicine, geographic information systems, and representation of natural phenomena are described. This text is the first volume in a set of two.
Sport Policy in China
Acknowledging China’s established status as a global sporting superpower, this is the first book to systematically investigate sport policy in that country. With a focus on sport development in the most recent three decades, Sport Policy in China explores a wide range of topics in Chinese sport, including elite sport development, professional sports, major sports events, sport for all, the political context within which sport is interiorised and the distinctive sporting status of Hong Kong. It examines the debates around policy, globalisation, diplomacy and soft power, as well as the significance of the principle of ‘one country, two systems’. With international appeal, this book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of sport policy, sport management, sport development and sport sociology.
The Oxford Handbook of Language and Social Psychology
The Oxford Handbook of Language and Social Psychology is a unique and innovative compilation of research that lies at the intersection of language and social psychology. Contributors address the role of social processes in language, the linguistic underpinnings of social psychological processes, the creation of meaning, and the important role played by language and social psychology in applied topics.
