The Authenticity of Ethics

The Authenticity of Ethics

Sebastien H. Kelso

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
There was a time in which philosophy had to fight for separation from religious influences. The freedom of thought that it achieved has cultivated a whole wealth of intellectual achievements. But the removal of religious influence has also made it more challenging for philosophy to answer important questions, especially in the realm of ethics. The Authenticity of Ethics is an attempt to re-invite religious discourse into philosophical inquiry. It seeks to account for who we are, how we come to know, where value comes from, and how we should live our lives.

Y Philosophy

Philosophy does not require that one have a talent for playing the violin or throwing a ball or writing in computer code. All it requires is the ability to think, an ability which all of us have. In the spirit of Georg Hegel and Gottfried Herder, Y Philosophy argues that anyone can become a philosopher given the proper direction. Bringing philosophy down to its barebones - epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics - Y Philosophy provides the basic means for anyone to create their own philosophy. It aims to make doing philosophy as fun and easy as playing with play dough, or Plato if you will, offering everyone a taste of the joys of the examined life.

The Kindred Letters is a story of philosophy and friendship - the rarest kind of friendship there is. In their letter correspondence post-graduation, Jesse and Hans continue to explore the fine line between love and hatred and the limits of what it means to be human.

Risk-sensitive Investment Management

Risk-sensitive Investment Management

Mark H A Davis; Sebastien Lleo

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd
2014
sidottu
Over the last two decades, risk-sensitive control has evolved into an innovative and successful framework for solving dynamically a wide range of practical investment management problems.This book shows how to use risk-sensitive investment management to manage portfolios against an investment benchmark, with constraints, and with assets and liabilities. It also addresses model implementation issues in parameter estimation and numerical methods. Most importantly, it shows how to integrate jump-diffusion processes which are crucial to model market crashes.With its emphasis on the interconnection between mathematical techniques and real-world problems, this book will be of interest to both academic researchers and money managers. Risk-sensitive investment management links stochastic control and portfolio management. Because of its distinct emphasis on integrating advanced theoretical concepts into practical dynamic investment management tools, this book stands out from the existing literature in fundamental ways. It goes beyond mainstream research in portfolio management in a traditional static setting. The theoretical developments build on contemporary research in stochastic control theory, but are informed throughout by the need to construct an effective and practical framework for dynamic portfolio management.This book fills a gap in the literature by connecting mathematical techniques with the real world of investment management. Readers seeking to solve key problems such as benchmarked asset management or asset and liability management will certainly find it useful.

Anti-Monopoly Law and Practice in China

Anti-Monopoly Law and Practice in China

H. Stephen Harris Jr.; Peter J. Wang; Yizhe Zhang; Mark A. Cohen; Sebastien J. Evrard

Oxford University Press
2022
nidottu
Anti-Monopoly Law and Practice in China was the first treatise on the China Anti-Monopoly Law (AML), and remains the most comprehensive work on this legislation. It provides a thorough explanation of the law as well as regulations promulgated under the law, agency practices, and other relevant Chinese laws that may also apply to anti-competitive conduct. The book considers each chapter of the law in detail, offering a ready reference to each of the law's substantive provisions: monopoly agreements; abuse of dominance; merger control; cases involving government-related entities, including administrative monopolies, state-owned enterprises, and trade associations; intellectual property rights, abuses, enforcement, and remedies; the structure, powers and duties of the enforcement agencies, the Anti-Monopoly Commission (AMC) and Anti-Monopoly Enforcement Authorities (AMEA); the role of the courts; and the intersection with other competition-related laws. The work adopts an international and comparative approach to the law, drawing similarities and differences with the antitrust law of the United States and the competition law of the European Union, among others, to provide a richer understanding of how the China Anti-Monopoly Law compares with the laws of established jurisdictions. The book sets out the legislative history and context of the AML, and also includes the texts of selected relevant regulations, rules, and guidelines, to provide a comprehensive guide in a single volume. Anti-Monopoly Law and Practice in China is an accessible and invaluable reference source for practitioners and scholars alike, offering the reader a complete and detailed account of this relatively new and highly significant antitrust regime.

A powerful debut collection exploring one family’s pursuit of the American Dream SebastiÁn H. PÁramo renders a semi-autobiographical collection, utilizing self-portraiture and memory to uncover how his Texan, working-class, Mexican American identity shapes his relationship to his stepbrother and to his family’s burning desire to become American.Portrait of Us Burning begins with the humble picture of an immigrant American family. This picture starts to disintegrate—and, ultimately, burns—with the need to understand an inciting event that haunts the family throughout the second half of the collection. As the poems gather force and the picture dissolves further, PÁramo asks us again and again: What does it mean to burn while becoming a part of a whole?

The nomadic race of Ribillions were dying slowly - it was very clear. They had battled constantly, webs of alliances shifting as a result of a divided society as they struggled to survive their harsh existence. Farid-Saal dreamt of uniting his people into one nation and had spent many years trying to rally support for a war which would symbolize courage and hope for his people and end a bitterness that has lasted decades. A child who is hunted in the desolate mountains of the Drylands for his Royal blood would be the catalyst for the war. But the King's nephew is not alone. He travels with his mixed-blood friend and five other children. They are hunted through the mountains, driven to the summit where they await their fate. Their only hope, two fathers. One a grizzled sword master, full of anger and hatred for the Ribillions and the other a man a former warrior persecuted by his past and haunted by responsibility. But he is no ordinary man, for he is Balik, the Sword of Krillia.

Sebastian H. Schneider untersucht anhand von Individual- und Aggregatdaten, welche individuellen und kontextuellen Faktoren die Beteiligung von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern an der kommunalen Haushaltsplanung („Bürgerhaushalte“) beeinflussen. Der Autor leistet einen Beitrag zur politikwissenschaftlichen Grundlagenforschung, da solche konsultativ-dialogischen Beteiligungsverfahren vermehrt Verbreitung finden werden. Zudem bietet die Studie Erkenntnisse für die kommunalpolitische Praxis, indem sie Wirkungszusammenhänge aufdeckt und somit Verständnis für Erfolg und Scheitern solcher Verfahren schaffen kann, wenngleich eine mechanische Steuerung der Partizipation weder möglich noch wünschenswert ist.

Da jorden blev dannet for 4,6 milliarder år siden, var den så varm, at intet levende kunne bo her. Det var bare en gold og stenet kugle. Men kometer af is blev ved med at bombardere planeten, så den til sidst blev afkølet og beboelig. Det skabte fundamentet for det liv, vi kender her på kloden. Så når vi tænder for vores vandhane eller tager en isterning ud af fryseren, så er det alt sammen, fordi en serie af kometer bestående primært af is bragte vand og materialer ned til jorden fra rummets fjerneste afkroge. Vi er ikke bare stjernestøv. Vi er smeltede iskrystaller. ISBOGEN er en fortælling om fortryllelse, eventyr og prøvelser i et vanvittigt element. En kærlighedssang til isen, dens mystik og videnskaben bag. Gennem Jordens lange historie har gigantiske områder været dækket med is. Den har formet den måde, vores landskab ser ud på og påvirket den måde, vi mennesker lever på. Is er afgørende for kloden og for de enorme systemer, der holder vores vejr i skak og gør planeten beboelig. Men hvad er is, hvorfor er den altafgørende for vores art, og hvad sker der den dag, isen er væk? ISBOGEN er en livsbekræftende og underholdende bog, der beretter om isens enorme indvirkning på vores fælles historie og samtidig afslører de hemmeligheder, som ligger gemt dybt under den kilometerdybe sne i Grønland.

Politik og ledelse med etisk dømmekraft

Politik og ledelse med etisk dømmekraft

Jan Nørgaard med epilog af Sebastian H. Mernild

2024
nidottu
Politik og ledelse med etisk dømmekraft - et grønt manifest beskriver, hvorfor politikere og ledere ikke har kunnet løse klimakrisen. Forklaringen er, at klimakrisen reelt er en eksistenskrise, som den globale økonomimagt har skabt og selv skal løse. Det kan Homo economicus ikke. Derfor har en anden arketype, Homo etikos, stillet sig i spidsen for transformationen væk fra hyperkapitalismen og over i et grønt samfund.Etikos baserer sit ledelsesarbejde på etisk dømmekraft og etisk profit i modsætning til Economicus, der stort set kun tænker på forbrug, produktion og sort profit. Etikos har en nødvendig og realiserbar plan. Danmark skal gå foran, som det står i klimaloven, og frigøre energi og tid til nye grønne fællesskaber via omfattende reorganiseringer af implementeringsarbejde, politik og lovgivning, herunder især skatteområdet. Internationalt vil Etikos med grøn ledelse og strategier fx danne en ny grøn samarbejdsorganisation for dem, der reelt vil, samt etablere en økologidomstol.Bogen er skrevet af Jan Nørgaard og indeholder epilog af klimaprofessor Sebastian H. Mernild.
