Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

This book presents a systematic unifying-pluralist account—a constructive-engagement account—of how cross-tradition engagement in philosophy is possible. The goal of this constructive-engagement account is by way of reflective criticism argumentation and methodological guiding principles to inquire into how distinct approaches from different philosophical traditions can talk to and learn from each other for the sake of making joint contributions to the contemporary development of philosophy. In Part I of the book Bo Mou explores a range of fundamental theoretic and methodological issues in cross-tradition philosophical engagement and philosophical interpretation. In Part II he analyzes several representative case studies that demonstrate how relevant resources in the Western and Chinese philosophical traditions can constructively engage with each other. These studies cover issues in philosophical methodology metaphysics epistemology philosophy of language and logic and ethics. The book’s theoretical and practical approaches expand the vision coverage and agenda of doing philosophy comparatively and promote worldwide joint efforts of cross-tradition philosophical inquiries. Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy will be of interest to graduate students and scholars interested in comparative philosophy and the intersection of Chinese and Western philosophy. It will also appeal to those who are interested in the ways in which cross-tradition philosophical engagement can enhance contemporary philosophical debates in metaphysics epistemology philosophy of language and logic and ethics. | Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

Civic Engagement

Civic Engagement

Civic engagement in this book is understood to include attendance at booked National Health Service appointments; compulsory attendance at school; the take-up of a variety of State benefits in cash and kind such as Pension Credit and free school meals; and attendance at work. This book is the outcome of a collaborative exercise in which specialists in a variety of disciplines have come together to better understand the state of civic engagement in the fields of health education social security and employment. Their research is drawn primarily from the British experience but the phenomena studied are international in scope. Generally civic engagement has been improving but in certain areas there are serious gaps that still need addressing. Administrative arrangements are shown to reduce absence for booked appointments without necessarily making referred patients more or less likely to attend. A variety of measures are suggested for truancy and the take-up of social security benefits faces a number of issues. Work absence attributed to sickness is at least partly viewed as a psychosocial problem. Economic analysis shows the importance of incentives and the potential cost of changing from selective to the universal provision of free school meals. Taken together the sociological analysis in the book highlights the fragmentation of society and its consequences for civic engagement. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science.

Museums Heritage and Indigenous Voice Decolonizing Engagement

Museums Heritage and Indigenous Voice Decolonizing Engagement

Current discourse on Indigenous engagement in museum studies is often dominated by curatorial and academic perspectives in which community voice viewpoints and reflections on their collaborations can be under-represented. This book provides a unique look at Indigenous perspectives on museum community engagement and the process of self-representation specifically how the First Nations Elders of the Blackfoot Confederacy have worked with museums and heritage sites in Alberta Canada to represent their own culture and history. Situated in a post-colonial context the case-study sites are places of contention a politicized environment that highlights commonly hidden issues and naturalized inequalities built into current approaches to community engagement. Data from participant observation archives and in-depth interviewing with participants brings Blackfoot community voice into the text and provides an alternative understanding of self and cross-cultural representation. Focusing on the experiences of museum professionals and Blackfoot Elders who have worked with a number of museums and heritage sites Indigenous Voices in Cultural Institutions unpicks the power and politics of engagement on a micro level and how it can be applied more broadly by exposing the limits and challenges of cross-cultural engagement and community self-representation.
