Illuminating Errors New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge

Illuminating Errors New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge

This is the first collection of essays exclusively devoted to knowledge from non-knowledge and related issues. It features original contributions from some of the most prominent and up-and-coming scholars working in contemporary epistemology. There is a nascent literature in epistemology about the possibility of inferential knowledge based on premises that are for one reason or another not known. The essays in this book explore if and how epistemology can accommodate cases where knowledge is generated from something other than knowledge. Can reasoning from false beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from unjustified beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from gettiered beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from propositions one does not even believe generate knowledge? The contributors to this book tackle these and other questions head-on. Together they advance the debate about knowledge from non-knowledge in novel and interesting directions. Illuminating Errors will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in epistemology and philosophy of mind. | Illuminating Errors New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge

The Democratic Dilemma of American Education Out of Many One?

The Democratic Dilemma of American Education Out of Many One?

This compelling new book asks: How can American education policy be consistent with democratic ideals? Robust democracy is the combination of participation self-rule equality understanding and inclusion but these norms can produce contradictory policy.

The Democratic Dilemma of American Education draws on contemporary research in political science and education policy to offer remarkably balanced insights into these challenging issues. Expertly navigating through local state and federal layers of education policy Arnold Shober examines contemporary controversies over education governance teachers unions and collective bargaining school funding school choice academic accountability and desegregation. Shober describes the inherent practical dilemmas of current policy and the difficulties policymakers face in overcoming them to produce lasting educational reform in a democratic federal system of government.

Cognition and Categorization

Cognition and Categorization

Originally published in 1978 the papers in this book derive from a 1976 meeting sponsored by the Social Science Research Council to discuss the nature and principles of category formation. It is organized in three sections: real-world categories the cognitive processes underlying categorization and the nature of representation. Part I examines different structural aspects of real-world categories: folk biological taxonomies within and between category structures for material objects and some categories in a language that codes the world in a visual–gestural mode. All three chapters in Part I assume category processors who are able to perform at least three cognitive functions: They can judge similarity between stimuli; they can perceive and process the attributes of a stimulus; and they can learn. Part II presents analyses of these three cognitive functions. All discussion of psychological structures and processes lead eventually to the issue of representation and Part III examines representational assumptions underlying the earlier discussions. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context. | Cognition and Categorization

The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

Immigration has significant consequences for all Americans but especially for African Americans. áThe sheer magnitude of immigration-it is the primary factor driving population growth-is so large that it directly or indirectly affects the economic political social and environmental circumstances of most Americans. áBut the geographic concentration of immigrants in urban areas and the economic concentration of immigrants in the low-wage sector of the labor market have special consequences for African Americans since they are especially likely to live in urban areas and to be low-wage workers. These effects can be both negative and positive. Immigration has sharply increased the supply of labor into the low-wage sector of the labor market which tends to reduce wages and employment opportunities for low-wage native workers. Employers may prefer hiring immigrants who are perceived to be hard working and uncomplaining to hiring African Americans. Immigrants can also increase the competition for scarce public services (especially education) on which African Americans depend. Yet immigration can also stimulate economic growth and urban revitalization which can increase job opportunities and spread an ideology of multiculturalism. Immigration can dilute the political power of African Americans but it can also strengthen the civil rights coalition. Immigration can benefit some groups while hurting others. This volume presents research and analysis that reflects and advances the debates about the economic and political consequences of immigration for African Americans. The contributors include Gerald Jaynes (Yale University) Vernon Briggs (Cornell University) Frank Bean and Jennifer Lee (University of California Irvine) Robert Cherry (Brooklyn College) Manuel Pastor (University of California Santa Cruz) and Enrique Marcelli (University of Massachusetts Boston) Steven Camarota (Center for Immigration Studies) Frank Morris (University of Texas Dallas) Steven Shulman (Colorado State University) and Hannes Johannsson (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) and Lisa Catanzarite (University of California Los Angeles). | The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

Entrepreneurship Polycentrism and Elites Local Industrial Development in Modern Italy

Entrepreneurship Polycentrism and Elites Local Industrial Development in Modern Italy

The book is a cross-section of the over all Italian development. Italy can be considered a microcosm that contains all the imbalances and territorial differences that can be observed in the European macro-areas. Its north can now be considred integrated with the more developed European continental shelf. The Centre represents a local development in transition to a more visible technological change. The late south risks accumulating more socio-economic backwardness. For these reasons we believe this volume is useful with just a few pages presenting one of the most interesting cases of local industrial development outside the mainstream of the industrial economy which saw in Fordism and Taylorism the best way for industrializaion. Here on the contrary it is argued that big fish cannot always consume the smallest one that flickers faster and its flexibility that has social roots can be an advantage in global markets. Technology appears to be the key to the future. Please note: This title is co-published with Aakar Books New Delhi.

Terrorism the Worker and the City Simulations and Security in a Time of Terror

Terrorism the Worker and the City Simulations and Security in a Time of Terror

Soon after watching the twin towers falling in New York some of those with business responsibilities were already asking themselves whether people would be willing to work in tall buildings ever again. Is work too risky? How can people be expected to attend work in what might now be seen as precarious and vulnerable workplaces and cities? Although thankfully large scale terrorist attacks are infrequent the world's cities and the businesses to which they are home have been put on notice that it can come to any place at any time. In Terrorism the Worker and the City Luke Howie considers what steps managers and employees can and should take to protect their businesses from such an amorphous and indefinable threat. Deftly combining theoretical insight with empirical research he reveals how despite an appearance of 'business as usual' fear; anxiety; and suspicion permeate workplaces even in cities that may not be at the top of any terrorist group's target list. Using the Australian city of Melbourne a cosmopolitan city and major business centre with nearly four million people as a metaphor for other such cities around the world Dr Howie's research has uncovered that even where they don't perceive a high level threat business managers who might face having to account for themselves to some post event Inquiry have taken action in consequence of the situation. Often that action amounts to the introduction of what can be described as 'Simulated Security'. This cannot ever provide certain protection from terrorist attack but it may be the best we can reasonably do. There is also evidence that it can be effective in terms of providing the reassurance to counter the terrorist objective of disrupting normal life through fear. With its rigorous research compared with other more speculative works on this subject Terrorism the Worker and the City will appeal to city and business leaders and managers and security professionals as well as those in governmenta | Terrorism the Worker and the City Simulations and Security in a Time of Terror

Experiments in Film and Philosophy

Experiments in Film and Philosophy

Christopher Falzon argues in this book for a new way of understanding film as philosophy. Inspired and informed by the work of Michel Foucault Falzon shows how a motion picture can operate not simply as a thought experiment but as a form of experience-centred experimental reflection. It is film’s ability to show viewers things that challenge their way of thinking giving them experiences that can make them think differently that gives the film its status as philosophy. Through these cinematic experiences not only cultural norms and presuppositions but also cinematic conventions and even established philosophical positions can be interrogated and questioned. Experiments in Film and Philosophy explores three films in the light of this new way of thinking about philosophy and film: Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless Rubin Ötlund’s Force Majeure and Jonathon Glazer’s Under the Skin. It will be of interest to advanced students and scholars interested in the current debates about the relationship between film and philosophy.
