Philosophie der Führung
by Dieter Frey Lisa Katharin SchmalzriedFührungskräfte arbeiten heute in einem unsicheren Umfeld mit wachsenden Anforderungen und immer variableren Rahmenbedingungen. Dennoch müssen sie Sicherheit ausstrahlen und ihren Mitarbeitern eine Orientierung bieten. Viele Führungskräfte empfinden dies als belastend und suchen nach einer Art Kompass, an dem sie ihr Handeln ausrichten können, nach dauerhaften Prinzipien für eine "gute Führung". Dieses Buch bietet einen solchen Kompass und leitet dazu "neue" Erkenntnisse aus uralten Theorien ab: Hätten Sie gedacht, dass die großen Philosophen von Kant über Rousseau bis Popper Anregungen für Ihr tägliches Führungshandeln bereit halten? - Wie Sie nach Ansicht Aristoteles als Chef ein gutes Vorbild werden? Wie Sie laut Hobbes mit egoistischen Mitarbeitern umgehen können? Wie nach Popper ein kritischer Dialog zu besseren Entscheidungen führen kann? Den Autoren dieses Buches gelingt es, in übersichtlichen Kapiteln verständlich und knapp die Grundlagen einer Theorie zu erklären, praktische Hinweise für eine moderne Führungskraft abzuleiten und schließlich ein verständliches Modell einer ethikorientierten Führung zu formulieren. - Kernthese: Gute Führung, die sich moralischen Werten verpflichtet sieht, ist auch eine erfolgreiche Führung! Und ganz nebenbei liest sich das Buch als eine unterhaltsame Einführung in die großen philosophischen Theorien. Für alle, die mit Aufgaben der Menschenführung betraut sind, ob in sozialen und kommerziellen Organisationen, im Bildungsbereich oder der Kindererziehung.
Philosophie der Gefühle: Zukunftsperspektiven (Vital Turn: Leib, Körper, Emotionen)
by Hilge LandweerDieser Band wirft die Frage nach der gesellschaftlichen Relevanz der inzwischen sehr differenzierten Debatte um die Philosophie der Gefühle auf und bietet ihr so eine neue Orientierung an. In einer 2022 organisierten Diskussion zwischen einigen international renommierten Emotionsforscher*innen mit Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen, die im Bereich der Philosophie der Gefühle arbeiten, kristallisierten sich vier Bereiche heraus, die besonders aufschlussreich sind: 1. die Rolle von emotionstheoretische Weichenstellungen in der Philosophiegeschichte für aktuelle Orientierungen; 2. phänomenologische Beschreibungen einzelner Gefühle, die in der aktuellen Debatte noch wenig thematisiert werden, aber in deutlichem Zusammenhang mit normativen Fragen oder aktuellen Konfliktlagen stehen; 3. folgenreiche theoretische Kontroversen und Felder, die in der heutigen Philosophie der Gefühle noch zu entdecken sind; 4. die Ontologie des Sozialen und die Affekte.
Philosophiedidaktik 4.0?: Chancen und Risiken der digitalen Lehre in der Philosophie (Philosophische Bildung in Schule und Hochschule)
by Minkyung Kim Tobias Gutmann Sophia PeukertPhilosophie lebt vom unmittelbaren Dialog – das ist zumindest die sokratische Auffassung. Welche Folgen hat es, wenn der unmittelbare Dialog ersetzt wird durch indirektere Arten der Kommunikation? Mit dem zunehmenden Einsatz digitaler Lehrformate an den Universitäten stellt sich diese Frage in besonderer Dringlichkeit. Die Beiträge in diesem Sammelband diskutieren die Chancen und Risiken der digitalen Lehre in der Philosophie. Sie widmen sich u.a. folgenden Fragen: Welche Elemente der Präsenzlehre können durch die digitale Lehre nicht adäquat ersetzt werden? Kann man die Präsenzlehre gewinnbringend mit digitalen Lehrformen kombinieren? Hat die digitale Lehre Auswirkungen auf das Philosophieverständnis der Studierenden? Führt der Einsatz digitaler Lehrformen zu Gerechtigkeitsproblemen?
Philosophiedidaktik und Bildungsphilosophie: Kontroversen und neue Aufgaben (Philosophische Bildung in Schule und Hochschule)
by Bettina BussmannDie Philosophiedidaktik ist eine herausfordernde Disziplin. In ihrer Aufgabe als Vermittlungs- und Reflexionswissenschaft muss sie Entwicklungen der aktuellen Philosophie berücksichtigen, auf die komplexen Veränderungen unserer Lebenswelt reagieren, die Herausforderungen des Lernorts Schule ernst nehmen und die Erkenntnisse wesentlicher Bezugsdisziplinen einbeziehen. Diese Vernetzungsaufgabe verlangt nach systematischen philosophiedidaktischen Untersuchungen für die Lehrkräfteausbildung. Ziel dieses Bandes ist die Analyse und Diskussion der philosophischen, fachdidaktischen und bildungstheoretischen Fragestellungen einer Reihe komplexer Herausforderungen, die für die Ausbildung an der Hochschule, im Referendariat sowie in der Fort- und Weiterbildung wirksam werden: Welche Rolle kann und soll philosophische Bildung in inter- und transdisziplinären Bezügen spielen, wie z.B. bei der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung oder in einem Bildungslabor? Wie kann und sollte Philosophieren mit Kindern praktiziert werden? Wie kann und sollte mit der Forderung nach Inklusion umgegangen werden? Ist problemorientierter Unterricht der Goldstandard philosophischen Unterrichtens oder nicht? Auf diese und weitere Fragen geben die Beiträge der Autor*innen Antworten und Lösungsvorschläge, in denen alte und neue Kontroversen sichtbar werden. Der Band versteht sich als Beitrag zu lebendigen Grundsatzdiskursen, die ein Fundament liefern für die Entwicklung eines zeitgemäßen Philosophie- und Ethikunterrichts.
Philosophies and Sociologies of Bioethics: Crossing the divides
by Nathan Emmerich Hauke Riesch Steven WainwrightThis book is an interdisciplinary contribution to bioethics, bringing together philosophers, sociologists and Science and Technology Studies researchers as a way of bridging the disciplinary divides that have opened up in the study of bioethics. Each discipline approaches the topic through its own lens providing either normative statements or empirical studies, and the distance between the disciplines is heightened not only by differences in approach, but also disagreements over the values, interpretations and problematics within bioethical research. In order to converse across these divides, this volume includes contributions from several disciplines. The volume examines the sociological issues faced by interdisciplinary research in bioethics, the role of expertise, moral generalisations, distributed agency, and the importance of examining what is not being talked about. Other contributions try to take an interdisciplinary look at a range of specific situations, fetal alcohol syndrome in the media, citizen science, electronic cigarettes and bioethical issues in human geography.
Philosophies of Appropriated Religions: Perspectives from Southeast Asia
by Soraj Hongladarom Jeremiah Joven Joaquin Frank J. HoffmanThis book brings together different intercultural philosophical points of view discussing the philosophical impact of what we call the ‘appropriated’ religions of Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia is home to most of the world religions. Buddhism is predominantly practiced in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Singapore, Laos, and Cambodia; Islam in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei; and Christianity in the Philippines and Timor-Leste. Historical data show, however, that these world religions are imported cultural products, and have been reimagined, assimilated, and appropriated by the culture that embraced them. In this collection, we see that these ‘appropriated’ religions imply a culturally nuanced worldview, which, in turn, impacts how the traditional problems in the philosophy of religion are framed and answered—in particular, questions about the existence and nature of the divine, the problem of evil, and the nature of life after death. Themes explored include: religious belief and digital transition, Theravāda Buddhist philosophy, religious diversity, Buddhism and omniscience, indigenous belief systems, divine apology and unmerited human suffering, dialetheism and the problem of evil, Buddhist philosophy and Spinoza’s views on death and immortality, belief and everyday realities in the Philippines, comparative religious philosophy, gendering the Hindu concept of dharma, Christian devotion and salvation during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines through the writings of Jose Rizal, indigenous Islamic practices in the Philippines, practiced traditions in contemporary Filipino celebrations of Christmas, role of place-aspects in the appropriation of religions in Southeast Asia, and fate and divine omniscience. This book is of interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy of religion, sociology of religion, anthropology of religion, cultural studies, comparative religion, religious studies, and Asian studies.
Philosophies of Islamic Education: Historical Perspectives and Emerging Discourses (Routledge Research in Religion and Education #4)
by Mujadad Zaman Nadeem A. MemonThe study of Islamic education has hitherto remained a tangential inquiry in the broader focus of Islamic Studies.

Broken into four sections, it deals with theological, pedagogic, institutional and contemporary issues reflecting the diverse and often competing notions and practices of Islamic education. As a unique international collaboration bringing into conversation theologians, historians, philosophers, teachers and sociologists of education Philosophies of Islamic Education intends to provide fresh means for conversing with contemporary debates in ethics, secularization theory, child psychology, multiculturalism, interfaith dialogue and moral education. In doing so, it hopes to offer an important and timely contribution to educational studies as well as give new insight for academia in terms of conceiving learning and education.

Philosophy and Allotment : John Locke's influence on Henry L. Dawes (SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology)
by David BergeronThis book provides a new perspective for examining the Native policies of the late nineteenth century. It centers on the figure of Henry Laurens Dawes, and more specifically, on the conceptual roots of his views on allotment, education and assimilation. These roots are grounded in John Locke’s epistemology and pedagogy. Through a philosophical analysis of Dawes’ ideas and policies, the book provides a new approach to arrive at a better understanding of an important historical process. In this regard, an often-overlooked link between philosophy and history is clarified, helping philosophers, historians and other scholars in their quest for knowledge. This book clarifies the impact of philosophical ideas on historical conceptions, and by studying Dawes, also addresses the reflection behind a major historical process. Political and social philosophers, as well as historians of ideas and of Native policies, will greatly benefit from this concise book.
Philosophy and Child Poverty: Reflections on the Ethics and Politics of Poor Children and their Families (Philosophy and Poverty #1)
by Gottfried Schweiger Nicolás BrandoThis book offers a broad and diverse reflection of the ways in which child poverty could be conceptualised, and the ways in which it is intertwined with childhood as a specific social condition. Furthermore, the responsibilities towards children and the possible mechanisms required for dealing with this condition will be analysed and clarified. This is the first volume on philosophy and child poverty. Despite the increasing number of publications on poverty, the particular phenomenon of poverty during childhood has not received much philosophical attention. This is surprising, given the severity and depth of child poverty around the globe. This volume brings together various philosophical approaches and how they understand and tackle child poverty. This is an important addition to the philosophical literature, which is also of wider interest to scholars working in the social sciences and with an interest in child poverty.

Philosophy and Educational Foundations (Routledge Library Editions: Philosophy of Education)
by Allen BrentWhat models in the social sciences underlie existing or proposed patterns of educational practice? What theories of knowledge inform such models and thus arguably sanction such practice? In this book, first published in 1983, the author seeks some tentative answers. Wittgenstein’s understanding of ‘family resemblance’ and Chomsky’s ‘linguistic universals’ are interpreted, contrary to Hamlyn, as reconcilable notions that can both illuminate and refine Hirst’s understanding of ‘categorical concepts’. In the light of such a reformulated theory, Brent suggest ways in which a unified model of the social sciences could yield a unified curriculum theory. This title will be of interest to students of the philosophy of education and curriculum studies.

Philosophy and Engineering: Reflections on Practice, Principles and Process
by Natasha Mccarthy David E. Goldberg Diane P MichelfelderBuilding on the breakthrough text Philosophy and Engineering: An Emerging Agenda, this book offers 30 chapters covering conceptual and substantive developments in the philosophy of engineering, along with a series of critical reflections by engineering practitioners. The volume demonstrates how reflective engineering can contribute to a better understanding of engineering identity and explores how integrating engineering and philosophy could lead to innovation in engineering methods, design and education. The volume is divided into reflections on practice, principles and process, each of which challenges prevalent assumptions and commitments within engineering and philosophy. The volume explores the ontological and epistemological dimensions of engineering and exposes the falsity of the commonly held belief that the field is simply the application of science knowledge to problem solving. Above all, the perspectives collected here demonstrate the value of a constructive dialogue between engineering and philosophy and show how collaboration between the disciplines casts light on longstanding problems from both sides. The chapters in this volume are from a diverse and international body of authors, including philosophers and engineers, and represent a highly select group of papers originally presented in three different conferences. These are the 2008 Workshop on Philosophy and Engineering (WPE-2008) held at the Royal Academy of Engineering; the 2009 meeting of the Society for Philosophy and Technology (SPT-2009) at the University of Twente in the Netherlands; and the Forum on Philosophy, Engineering, and Technology (fPET-2010), held in Golden, Colorado at the Colorado School of Mines.
Philosophy and Management Studies: A Research Overview (State of the Art in Business Research)
by Raza Mir Michelle GreenwoodIrrespective of whether one thinks of philosophy explicitly, each organizational researcher is a philosopher. A philosophical position is predicated on a variety of approaches relating to ontology, epistemology, methodology, ethics, and political positions. Depending on where one stands with regard to these philosophical building blocks, their orientation may be characterized as positivist, realist, critical-realist, and constructivist, with pragmatist and political considerations weighing in as well. Also, management theories all inhabit the same spectrum of philosophical positions that enrich them and add to their relevance to the world of firms and organizations. This book provides a broad-based commentary on the terrain of philosophy as it pertains to management studies, especially for the relatively unfamiliar organizational theorist. This book serves as a succinct overview of the field of management philosophy as well as a roadmap for those readers who wish to explore the terrain further. The book argues that all knowledge inquiry invokes philosophy and philosophical thinking, and that the artificial separation between philosophy and social science is fallacious. Just as philosophy is everywhere, so is power, and for better or worse they go hand in hand. Hence, philosophical positions are political positions. The authors do not shy from addressing the politics of their own research practice or the subjects of their inquiry. Philosophy and Management Studies targets a new generation of management researchers, whose interest in philosophy vastly exceeds their resources to engage with it, partly because of their unfamiliarity with its often mystifying and outsider-unfriendly conventions. It seeks to bridge the chasm between interest in philosophy in organizational studies and knowledge about it. It is not for the trained philosopher or the expert, but for a relative newcomer.
Philosophy and Management: Great Minds and Organizational Ideas (Routledge Open Business and Economics)
by Łukasz Sułkowski Katarzyna Szczepańska-Woszczyna Zdzisława Dacko-PikiewiczThis book invites readers on an intellectual journey where the great minds of philosophy intersect with contemporary organizational challenges.With classical and modern philosophical thought as its backbone, Philosophy and Management: Great Minds and Organizational Ideas demonstrates that the most renowned thinkers in human history, such as Aristotle, Confucius and Nietzsche, provide timeless wisdom for navigating the complexity of today’s business environments. Combining theoretical insights with practical applications, this book presents philosophical frameworks as robust foundations for decision-making, conflict resolution and leadership strategies. It explores crucial areas such as strategic management, human resources, ethics, corporate governance and innovation, challenging readers to explore management from a reflective and ethical perspective, and shows how philosophy equips leaders to build resilient and morally responsible organizations, which are essential in an age dominated by technological advancement and rapid societal changes.The book fills a significant gap in management literature, which often lacks deep philosophical reflection on organizational practices. It draws on ancient, modern and postmodern thought, connecting these insights to current management theories, thus, making it an invaluable resource for both practitioners and scholars.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
Philosophy and Modern Liberal Arts Education

Philosophy and Nature Sports (Ethics and Sport)
by Kevin KreinNature sports such as skiing, climbing, and surfing have had a significant influence on Western popular culture since the mid-twentieth century and participation in such sports continues to grow. Written in a clear and accessible style, this important book provides a comprehensive philosophical analysis of nature sports. Philosophy and Nature Sports offers an engaging inquiry into how nature sports differ from mainstream sports, how these differences are related to their value as human activities, and the role of the environments in which such sports take place. Addressing the claim that the most distinctive feature of nature sports is the relationship between participants and the natural world, the book also examines a wide range of topics, such as ethics, risk, gender construction, the social role of nature sport subcultures and the aesthetic experiences of nature sports athletes. Tying these together is the question of what it is that attracts us to nature sports and why they hold meaning for us. This is a valuable resource for students and academics in fields such as alternative sports, alternative sport subcultures, sport philosophy, sport and social issues, ethics, and phenomenology. It is also a fascinating read for outdoor educators and practitioners.

Philosophy and the Study of Education: New Perspectives on a Complex Relationship (The Routledge Education Studies Series)
by Tom FeldgesCombining contributions from international academics and practitioners, this new text develops students’ ability to philosophise as well as learn about philosophy and education. It considers issues concerned with the interface between education and wider society but goes beyond this to explore education and philosophy at a micro level: the teacher–learner relationship. It challenges and empowers students to use philosophy as a tool within education, as a set of theories to understand education and as a potential means to develop solutions to problems as they occur within practice. Assuming no pre-existing philosophical background, Philosophy and the Study of Education explores complex topics including: encouraging young people to criticise and challenge all authority; the limits of a religious-based education; the desire for ‘alternative facts’ or ‘truths’; the second-class status of vocational pursuits; the inherent struggle in the teacher–student relationship; the relationship between emotion, morality and autonomy in teaching. Including discussion questions and further recommended reading, this thought-providing book will support and inspire all those on Education Studies, Childhood Studies and Youth Studies courses in developing a critical perspective and understanding the true value of philosophy within education.
