Revival: Metropolitan Income Growth and Convergence (2001)

Revival: Metropolitan Income Growth and Convergence (2001)

This title was first published in 2001. What determines urban growth? Much has been written on particular causes and incidents which can explain the rise of one metropolis and the fall of another but these do not illustrate general tendencies. This volume asks whether theories used to explain economic growth of nations or regions can be employed to find characteristics which encourage the growth of cities. Cavazos tests two principal theoretical approaches in this way. The first the endogenous growth theory predicts that incomes will diverge and sees technological innovations as the engine of economic growth. The second the neoclassical growth theory predicts conditional convergence and rates capital accumulation as the key to economic growth. He uses the two models to study US metropolitan income growth between 1970 and 1990 and compares their performance to determine which provides more insightful explanations of metropolitan growth. | Revival: Metropolitan Income Growth and Convergence (2001)

The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

Peter Strawson (1919–2006) was one of the leading British philosophers of his generation and an influential figure in a golden age for British philosophy between 1950 and 1970. The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant’s philosophy and is one of the key philosophical works of the late twentieth century. Whilst probably best known for its criticism of Kant’s transcendental idealism it is also famous for the highly original manner in which Strawson defended and developed some of Kant’s fundamental insights into the nature of subjectivity experience and knowledge – at a time when few philosphers were engaging with Kant’s ideas. The book had a profound effect on the interpretation of Kant’s philosophy when it was first published in 1966 and continues to influence discussion of Kant the soundness of transcendental arguments and debates in epistemology and metaphysics generally. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Lucy Allais. | The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University

Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University

This timely intervention into composition studies presents a case for the need to teach all students a shared system of communication and logic based on the modern globalizing ideals of universality neutrality and empiricism. Based on a series of close readings of contemporary writing by Stanley Fish Asao Inoue Doug Downs and Elizabeth Wardle Richard Rorty Slavoj Zizek and Steven Pinker this book critiques recent arguments that traditional approaches to teaching writing grammar and argumentation foster marginalization oppression and the restriction of student agency. Instead it argues that the best way to educate and empower a diverse global student body is to promote a mode of academic discourse dedicated to the impartial judgment of empirical facts communicated in an open and clear manner. It provides a critical analysis of core topics in composition studies including the teaching of grammar; notions of objectivity and neutrality; empiricism and pragmatism; identity politics; and postmodernism. Aimed at graduate students and junior instructors in rhetoric and composition as well as more seasoned scholars and program administrators this polemical book provides an accessible staging of key debates that all writing instructors must grapple with. | Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University
