The Theory of War and Peace
This book explores the ontology of war and peace. Using the results of empirical and theoretical research in the field of geophilosophy, as well as neuroscience, psychology, social philosophy and military history, it defines axiomatics of the theory of war and peace; formulates its consequences; tests the theory on the geophilosophy of Europe; and offers a new theoretical basis for the definition of the European Security Strategy. The text proves that war and peace are ways to achieve a regulatory compromise between manifestations of the active principle, which was initially laid in the foundation of the human mentality, and the influence of the external environment through natural selection.
Corruption in Ukraine
Using the methodology of geophilosophy, this book expands the understanding of Ukraine as a limitrophe state, as a frontier between two world cultures, the East and the West. It explains the relationship between the totally corrupt Ukrainian political system and the geographic location of the country. Drawing from open source information, the book constructs psychological portraits of five presidents of Ukraine and various members of their inner-circle in order to show their role in the formation and consolidation of the corrupt mentality of Ukrainian authority. As shown here, such mentalities of Ukrainian rulers, and their Soviet nomenklatura past, have, to a large extent, determined the course of history for the entire country. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in the issues of geopolitics, geophilosophy, and national identity.
A New Education for a New Economy: From Human Capital to Human Flourishing
Providing an in-depth, novel analysis of education’s role in today’s economy by scrutinizing its theoretical underpinnings, this volume critiques the suitability of the current, dominant economic framework for education and for shaping educational policymaking worldwide. Critically examining the history and philosophy that underpin our present societal understanding of the link between economics and education, the book argues for an urgent redefining of education’s role in the economy based on intellectual foundations that significantly differ from our current, dominant conceptions. Across seven chapters, the book posits that the adoption of a new philosophical framework, the reshaping...
The Dialectic of a Philosophical Education
This book provides an account, both theoretical and phenomenological, of the education offered by philosophy. Specifically, it examines the three distinct moments that make up the practice of philosophical study: reading, writing, and discussion. By considering each moment in turn, the author explores how philosophical learning creates opportunities for what Hannah Arendt described as “the gift of thinking poetically” and suggests that the dynamic and nonlinear relationship between these moments is what constitutes the dialectic of a philosophical education. Grounded in years of practice and offering scholarly commentary throughout, this shortform book will appeal to students and philosophers of education, as well as those with interests in teaching and learning more broadly.
World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2023
The World Day for Safety and Health at Work takes place annually on the 28th of April to globally promote the prevention of accidents and diseases at work. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) began to observe this day in 2003 to promote a safe and healthy work environment as a fundamental principle and right at work through collaboration and encouraging open social dialogue. We have learned from past and ongoing crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic that workplaces can be of vital importance in the prevention and control of outbreaks. During this unprecedented period, it was demonstrated that effective participation and communication between governments, employers, and workers had an essential role in transforming occupational health and safety systems; through implementing effective health and safety measures in the workplace to contain the spread of disease, systems were built that not only safeguarded the health and safety of workers but protected and upheld the health of society at large. In addition, these measures allowed important services to continue in confidence, with health and safety being at the forefront.
Practicing Embodied Thinking in Research and Learning
This book delves into the embodied ground of thinking, illuminating the transition from theorising about the embodied mind to actively practising embodied thinking in research, teaching, and learning. The authors speak from immersing themselves in novel methods that engage the felt, experiential dimensions of cognition in inquiry. The turn to embodiment has sparked the development of new methodologies within phenomenology, pragmatism, and cognitive science. Drawing on Eugene Gendlin’s philosophical work on felt understanding, and Francesco Varela’s enactivist approach, contributors explore innovative embodied thinking methods such as Focusing, Thinking at the Edge, micro-phenomenology, a...
Defending the Value of Education as a Public Good
Centred around a philosophical argument for contemporary education as a fundamental good, this edited volume demonstrates the benefits that education brings in a civil and flourishing societal context while also critiquing the state’s role in supporting and strengthening this educational focus. Chapters present in-depth philosophical and historical arguments that explore core aspects of education that are frequently overlooked, illustrating education’s role as a non-partisan public good during contentious times. Through this volume, diverse voices are heard from those with experience of life under communism as well as life in a stable democracy arguing, for example, that despite differin...
Liberalism, Human Values and Schools as Microcosms of Society
This seminal volume provides an accessible overview of key ethical and philosophical debates surrounding contemporary education policy, advocating for a future in education that is primarily driven by prioritising social values. Grounded in the educational ideas of recent British liberal and philosophical thinkers, including Roger Scruton, Mary Midgley and Brenda Almond in particular, the book provides a deeper understanding of the importance of intellectual and moral freedom as it plays out in today’s schools. The book echoes Almond’s call for education to be viewed through the lens of social values and argues for a broader societal strategy to the philosophy of education than narrowly ...
Treo Model of Structure and Working of Universe
This book will bring fundamental change in our understanding of phenomenon of gravitation, after Newton and Einstein, by taking it to quantum level as QUANTUM GRAVITATION. So far scientists have been using only four dimensions to describe universe, out of which three dimensions of Space describe WHAT, fourth dimension of Time describes WHEN and for the first time author has included Energy as fifth dimension which explains HOW UNIVERSE WORKS. In this simple book we will Study basic of all basics, to examine ‘the world around us’; which will change our picture of universe for ever. Here the author explains in a different perceptive both to common man and serious scholars of Science; what ...
