Is There a God? A Debate

Is There a God? A Debate

Bertrand Russell famously quipped that he didn’t believe in God for the same reason that he didn’t believe in a teapot in orbit between the earth and Mars: it is a bizarre assertion for which no evidence can be provided. Is belief in God really like belief in Russell’s teapot? Kenneth L. Pearce argues that God is no teapot. God is a real answer to the deepest question of all: why is there something rather than nothing? Graham Oppy argues that we should believe that there are none but natural causal entities with none but natural causal properties—and hence should believe that there are no gods. Beginning from this basic disagreement the authors proceed to discuss and debate a wide range of philosophical questions including questions about explanation necessity rationality religious experience mathematical objects the foundations of ethics and the methodology of philosophy. Each author first presents his own side and then they interact through two rounds of objections and replies. Pedagogical features include standard form arguments section summaries bolded key terms and principles a glossary and annotated reading lists. In the volume foreword Helen De Cruz calls the debate both edifying and a joy and sums up what’s at stake: Here you have two carefully formulated positive proposals for worldviews that explain all that is: classical theism or naturalistic atheism. You can follow along with the authors and deliberate: which one do you find more plausible? Though written with beginning students in mind this debate will be of interest to philosophers at all levels and to anyone who values careful rational thought about the nature of reality and our place in it. | Is There a God?

Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

If you are interested in becoming a better leader this book is a great place to start. Rather than using the familiar textbook approach leadership expert Robert Denhardt offers practical lessons drawn from a lively year-long correspondence with two (fictional) former students about their experiences in leadership. The letters explore the deeply personal issues these and other young and emerging leaders are facing – what the skills and personal qualities are that you need for contemporary leadership what will leadership mean to you and those you lead and even why or why not you might want to become a leader. Along the way the book speaks to the big picture arguing that leadership today has been stripped of its historic contribution to creating meaningful human experience and has been reduced to a technical exercise in executive management. Based on his experience of teaching leadership to thousands of undergraduates graduate students and advanced practitioners Denhardt speaks person-to-person with young leaders about their questions and their concerns as they enter into the somewhat flawed world of leadership today. The result is a call for a new leadership for a new generation. This book will be valuable to students enrolled in regular and executive degree programs in leadership business management public administration nonprofit management educational administration and many other fields. It also speaks to young leaders out of school but committed to enhancing their leadership. Indeed readers of all ages will learn lessons relevant to their own professional development. | Letters to a Young Leader A New Leadership for a New Generation

The British Empire A History and a Debate

The British Empire A History and a Debate

What was the course and consequence of the British Empire? The rights and wrongs strengths and weaknesses of empire are a major topic in global history and deservedly so. Focusing on the most prominent and wide-ranging empire in world history the British empire Jeremy Black provides not only a history of that empire but also a perspective from which to consider the issues of its strengths and weaknesses and rights and wrongs. In short this is history both of the past and of the present-day discussion of the past that recognises that discussion over historical empires is in part a reflection of the consideration of contemporary states. In this book Professor Black weaves together an overview of the British Empire across the centuries with a considered commentary on both the public historiography of empire and the politically-charged character of much discussion of it. There is a coverage here of social as well as political and economic dimensions of empire and both the British perspective and that of the colonies is considered. The chronological dimension is set by the need to consider not only imperial expansion by the British state but also the history of Britain within an imperial context. As such this is a story of empires within the British Isles Europe and later world-wide. The book addresses global decline decolonisation and the complex nature of post-colonialism and different imperial activity in modern and contemporary history. Taking a revisionist approach there is no automatic assumption that imperialism empire and colonialism were ’bad’ things. Instead there is a dispassionate and evidence-based evaluation of the British empire as a form of government an economic system and a method of engagement with the world one with both faults and benefits for the metropole and the colony. | The British Empire A History and a Debate

A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter

A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter

Manfred Kets de Vries wears many “hats”—psychoanalyst executive coach consultant management educator researcher writer—but he has noticed that whichever hat he is wearing every question he is asked boils down to one thing: “How can I live a well-lived life?” Over many years of practice in all these disciplines Professor Kets de Vries has realized the unsurpassed value of stories in tackling human dilemmas and providing answers to this question. The book is therefore one of the most important books he has written for coaches students leaders managers educators—or anyone seeking a more reflective text to guide them through the multitude of questions that we face in work and in life. He draws on a long literary tradition of the unexpected encounter with a wise “other ” fantastic or magical—think The Little Prince Alice's Adventures in Wonderland The Once and Future King the Harry Potter novels—to animate an exploration of the deepest questions and concerns of human beings. He constructs an extended Socratic dialogue between his two “selves”; the first a naïve traveler lost in the Siberian wilderness and the second a reflective avatar who comes to his aid. The avatar takes the form of a “kabouter ” a familiar figure in Dutch folklore whose counterpart can be found in different cultures around the world and throughout centuries of storytelling. Through stories riddles and puzzles the kabouter challenges the traveler to question and reflect upon his life and values guiding him—and readers—toward the insights that will help them achieve a life well lived. | A Life Well Lived Dialogues with a “Kabouter
