At the heart of aesthetics lie fundamental questions about value in art and the objectivity of aesthetic valuation. A theory of aesthetic value must explain how the properties of artworks contribute to the values derived from contemplating and appreciating works of art.

Transforming Toxic Leaders
ISBN: 9780804758284 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Unlike other books written on -toxic leaders,- this book takes issue with the predominant view that -toxic leaders are bad- and destructive to their companies. Rather, the author argues that even highly productive leaders have some toxic qualities central to their success story. The book redirects the conversation about toxicity in a more productive direction, as toxic leaders are not just viewed as villains and liabilities, but are also considered as potential assets, innovators, and rebels. Working on the premise that -toxicity is a fact of company life,- the book provides organizations...

Reasons from Within C
ISBN: 9780199576906 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Do the reasons we have for acting as we do derive from our concerns and desires, or are there objective values in the world that we are rationally required to pursue and protect? Alan Goldman argues for the internalist or subjectivist view of practical reasons on the grounds that it is simpler, more unified, and more comprehensible than the rival objectivist position. He provides a naturalistic account of practical rationality in terms of coherence within sets of desires or motivational states, and between motivations, intentions, and actions. Coherence is defined as the avoidance of...

Mark Twain, the -Father of American Literature, - and renowned humorist, satirist, and commentator on humanity and American life, is best known for his classic, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

His portrayal of American life, ripe with the contradictions of America's ideals and its actual practices, as well as his characters,...

ISBN: 9780521717342 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Organizational behavior and leadership research has traditionally been deeply influenced by positive psychology and appreciative inquiry. Yet, in recent times, a wave of corporate scandals and spectacular organizational failures has forced management and organizational theorists to rethink this approach. Unethical CEO behavior, white collar crime, property deviance, employee grievances and lawsuits, organizational terrorism, and workplace violence have all provided the impetus for an examination of the darker side of leadership. In Destructive Leaders and Dysfunctional Organizations, Alan...

Justice and Reverse Discrimination
ISBN: 9780691648248 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Through careful consideration of the mutually plausible yet conflicting arguments on both sides of the issue, Alan Goldman attempts to derive a morally consistent position on the justice (or injustice) of reverse discrimination. From a philosophical framework that appeals to a contractual model of ethics, he develops principles of rights, compensation, and equal opportunity. He then applies these principles to the issue at hand, bringing his conclusions to bear on an evaluation of Affirmative Action programs as they tend to work in practice. Originally published in 1979. The... Through careful consideration of the mutually plausible yet conflicting arguments on both sides of the issue, Alan Goldman attempts to derive a mor... |

Philosophy and the Novel
ISBN: 9780198768722 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Alan H. Goldman presents an original and lucid account of the relationship between philosophy and the novel. In the first part, on philosophy of novels, he defends theories of literary value and interpretation. Literary value, the value of literary works as such, is a species of aesthetic value. Goldman argues that works have aesthetic value when they simultaneously engage all our mental capacities: perceptual, cognitive, imaginative, and emotional. This view contrasts with now prevalent narrower formalist views of literary value. According to it, cognitive engagement with novels includes...

Practical Rules: When We Need Them and When We Don't
ISBN: 9780521034074 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Rules proliferate; some are kept with a bureaucratic stringency bordering on the absurd, while others are manipulated and ignored in ways that injure our sense of justice. Under what conditions should we make exceptions to rules, and when should they be followed despite particular circumstances? The two dominant models in the current literature on rules are the particularist account and that which sees the application of rules as normative. Taking a position that falls between these two extremes, Alan Goldman is the first to provide a systematic framework to clarify when we need to follow...

Aesthetic Value
ISBN: 9780813320199 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this concise survey, intended for advanced undergraduate students of aesthetics, Alan Goldman focuses on the question of aesthetic value, using many practical examples from painting, music, and literature to make his case. Although he treats a wide variety of views, he argues for a nonrealist view of aesthetic value, showing that the personal element can never be factored out of evaluative aesthetic judgments and explaining why this is so.
