I Am You: The Metaphysical Foundations for Global Ethics - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Borders enclose and separate us. We assign to them tremendous significance. Along them we draw supposedly uncrossable boundaries within which we believe our individual identities begin and end, erecting the metaphysical dividing walls that enclose each one of us into numerically identical, numerically distinct, entities: persons. Do the borders between us—physical, psychological, neurological, causal, spatial, temporal, etc.—merit the metaphysical significance ordinarily accorded them? The central thesis of I Am You is that our borders do not signify boundaries between persons. We are all the same person. Variations on this heretical theme have been voiced periodically throughout the ages (the Upanishads, Averroës, Giordano Bruno, Josiah Royce, Schrödinger, Fred Hoyle, Freeman Dyson). In presenting his arguments, the author relies on detailed analyses of recent formal work on personal identity, especially that of Derek Parfit, Sydney Shoemaker, Robert Nozick, David Wiggins, Daniel C. Dennett and Thomas Nagel, while incorporating the views of Descartes, Leibniz, Wittgenstein, Schopenhauer, Kant, Husserl and Brouwer. His development of the implied moral theory is inspired by, and draws on, Rawls, Sidgwick, Kant and again Parfit. The traditional, commonsense view that we are each a separate person numerically identical to ourselves over time, i.e., that personal identity is closed under known individuating and identifying borders—what the author calls Closed Individualism—is shown to be incoherent. The demonstration that personal identity is not closed but open points collectively in one of two new directions: either there are no continuously existing, self-identical persons over time in the sense ordinarily understood—the sort of view developed by philosophers as diverse as Buddha, Hume and most recently Derek Parfit, what the author calls Empty Individualism—or else you are everyone, i.e., personal identity is not closed under known individuating and identifying borders, what the author calls Open Individualism. In making his case, the author:

Flip: How to Turn Everything You Know on Its Head--and Succeed Beyond Your Wildest Imaginings - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Placing emphasis on flexible, counter-intuitive decision-making, a pioneering young management guru calls for a brand new way of doing business in the current sticky economic conditions, where conventional wisdom fails. Why is Microsoft turning a blind eye to software piracy in China? Why has Toyota capped production of the best-selling Scion? Why did Rupert Murdoch risk $580 million on MySpace? "Business today requires new perspectives," argues Peter Sheahan, one of the youngest and fastest-rising international business consultants. In Flip he shows that to succeed in turbulent financial times, companies must distinguish themselves by finding a new way of doing business, one that systematically re-examines every single aspect of running a company. Flip reveals what the superstars of modern business have in common: an ability to "flip" - to think counter-intuitively and then act boldly, with no regard for business-as-usual conventions. The only rule: there are no rules. Those who heed Sheahan's proven advice will be well placed to join other "flipstars" including entrepreneurs Richard Branson and Rupert Murdoch, and such visionary companies as Google, Toyota and Apple. By learning to "flip" you can future-proof your organisation and your career while those who run with the pack and stick to the business school curriculum will find themselves perilously left behind. Presenting perennial wisdom in a fresh new way, Sheahan shows today's decision makers how to embrace change and successfully operate in a challenging economy that runs on new ideas.
As You Like It (Webster's Thai Thesaurus Edition) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Webster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings inEnglish courses. By using a running English-to-Thai thesaurus at the bottom of each page, thisedition of As You Like It by William Shakespeare was edited for three audiences. The first includesThai-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a ForeignLanguage (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® orTOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled inbilingual education programs or Thai speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The thirdaudience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Thai in order to takeforeign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®) 1 or similar examinations. Byusing the Webster's Thai Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader canenrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Thai or English.Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number ofdifficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions aregiven lower priority compared to “difficult, yet commonly used” words. Rather than supply a singletranslation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Thai, allowing readers to bettergrasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Havingthe reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention andunderstanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficultword is not translated on a page, chances are that it has been translated on a previous page. A morecomplete glossary of translations is supplied at the end of the book; translations are extracted fromWebster’s Online Dictionary.
