Encyclopedia of Aesthetics by Michael Kelly Pdf

The second edition of the Encyclopedia of Aesthetics is an unparalleled reference resource that surveys the full breadth of critical thought on art, culture, and nature, from classical philosophy to contemporary critical theory. The four-volume first edition, published in 1998, effected a revival of aesthetics that created a receptive context for the contemporary importance of the field. Spanning six volumes and 815 articles, the new edition of the Encyclopedia has been updated and expanded to reflect the rapidly evolving character of the discipline. Renowned contributors from diverse fields provide analyses of the major artists, movements, and theories that continue to inform scholarly research on aesthetics.

Additionally, the second edition offers enhanced coverage of non-Western cultural areas and related issues, such as post-colonialism, globalization, and primitivism. In so doing, it extends the scope of critical aesthetics, seeking to create a more open environment for aesthetics in academia, culture, and art. With bibliographic references and images, the Encyclopedia of Aesthetics is an essential work that is of use to artists, scholars, students, and all others interested in art-from painting and sculpture to literature, music, theater, film, and more.

Encyclopedia of African Thought by Abiola Irele Pdf

Although scholarship related to the general field that may be said to be covered by the term 'African Thought' is considerable, there is still abroad a strong prejudice concerning the capacity of African to engage in any form of intellectual activity. Because of this prejudice, the term itself would be considered an oxymoron in many circles. Yet, as the literature demonstrates, traditional (pre-colonial) African societies and cultures have produced not only elaborate systems of thought with deep foundations in religious ideas and cosmologies but the continent has also been home to a long tradition of discursive philosophy dating back at least to the early Middle Ages, with the work of St. Augustine of Hippo and the early philosophers in Ethiopia. Of equal significance is the fact that, since the 18th century, intellectuals of African origin have engaged in sustained reflection upon the implications for Africa and the black race in general of the harsh encounter between Africa and the West, the wide ranging political, social and cultural consequences of slavery and colonialism for people of African descent. given rise to ideologies such as Pan-Africanism and Negritude which both represent significant currents of modern political thought. The Encyclopedia of African Thought contains almost 500 separate entries, a work that will be both an essential resource for teaching and an invaluable companion to independent study, a reliable guide to facts and features on African literature, and a solid guide for further study.

The Oxford Encyclopedia of African Politics by Nic Cheeseman Pdf

"African politics is one of the most vibrant and dynamic areas of research, and the fastest growing. In addition to important debates around the potential for democratic consolidations, the drivers of ethnic violence, the barriers to development, and the role of foreign powers, researchers are engaged in an important conversation about the need to "decolonize" African studies and to make sure that we study Africa ethically. This volume - the largest ever published on African politics - provides essential insights into these all of questions and many many more. Bringing together world leading researchers from Africa, the United States and Europe, it features cutting-edge chapters on a remarkably broad range of topics including helpful chapters on key methodologies and approaches as well as all of the major topics in the discipline. Each clearly written piece provides a concise summary of the state of the art before drawing on new ideas and evidence to push the debate forward. The volume is therefore essential reading for both first time students and established researchers. Curated by a widely respected team of editors, particular areas of strength include: political institutions; identity politics and the significance of ethnicity and religion; the African state and its strengths and weaknesses; development politics; economic policy and management; ideas and ideologies; international relations and regional politics; conflict, violence and civil war; political and social movements; media and political communication; elections and democracy; research methods and approaches; and, ethics and the politics of research"--

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Philosophy of Education by Kathy Hytten Pdf

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Philosophy of Education provides a comprehensive, global, invitational, and accessible overview of contemporary issues in the field of philosophy of education. It includes a wide range of topics, ideas, and diverse perspectives from around the world, and features an editorial board composed entirely of women. Each chapter is an in-depth exploration of a philosophical topic or issue relevant to teaching, education, pedagogy, and/or schooling. Authors include well-known and emerging scholars who write in invitational ways to a non-specialist audience. Taken together, the Encyclopedia's authors illuminate the kinds of questions that philosophers ask about education and schooling, and the tools and resources they bring to bear on these questions. They show the ways in which educational philosophers uncover fundamental assumptions, describe relationships among ideas, analyze concepts, unpack taken-for-granted claims, connect disparate viewpoints, identify the validity and consistency of claims, unsettle "common sense," propose hypothetical experiments, provide critical commentary on ideas, render givens as contingent, explore the interactions of ideas and experience, and offer alternative possibilities. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Philosophy of Education is organized into ten sections: philosophical traditions and explorations in education; non-Western, indigenous, and post/decolonial philosophies of education; race, gender, sexuality, and marginalized perspectives; globalization, democracy, and citizenship education; ethics, justice, morality, and character education; philosophical issues in research and educational practice; philosophical issues and controversies in K-12 education; philosophy of childhood, parenting, upbringing, and formation; philosophical issues in arts and aesthetics in education; and contemporary topics and issues in philosophy of education. This combination of breadth and depth makes The Oxford Encyclopedia of Philosophy of Education an important and essential guide to the complex philosophical issues informing all facets of education today.

The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Business, Labor, and Economic History by Melvyn Dubofsky Pdf

As the global economic crisis that developed in the year 2008 makes clear, it is essential for educated individuals to understand the history that underlies contemporary economic developments. This encyclopedia will offer students and scholars access to information about the concepts, institutions/organizations, events, and individuals that have shaped the history of economics, business, and labor from the origins of what later became the United States in an earlier age of globalization and the expansion of capitalism to the present. It will include entries that explore the changing character of capitalism from the seventeenth century to the present; that cover the evolution of business practices and organizations over the same time period; that describe changes in the labor force as legally free workers replaced a labor force dominated by slaves and indentures; that treat the means by which workers sought to better their lives; and that deal with government policies and practices that affected economic activities, business developments, and the lives of working people. Readers will be able to find readily at hand information about key economic concepts and theories, major economists, diverse sectors of the economy, the history of economic and financial crises, major business organizations and their founders, labor organizations and their leaders, and specific government policies and judicial rulings that have shaped US economic and labor history. Readers will also be guided to the best and most recent scholarly works related to the subject covered by the entry. Because of the broad chronological span covered by the encyclopedia and the breadth of its subjects, it should prove useful to history students, economics majors, school of business entrants as well as to those studying public policy and administration.
