This is a story of the Wards, Irish immigrants initially settling in Pennsylvania and Augusta County, Virginia. It follows nine generations over two-hundred-fifty years, beginning with the first generation that arrived in Philadelphia around 1730. Notable representatives include: -a citizen of colonial Virginia who participated in the church/state debate of 1785; -a Revolutionary War soldier who spent a cold winter in 1777‒1778 with General George Washington; -a Baptist minister who became an influential and long-time president of a Texas college in 1900; and -a United States Air Force doctor who monitored the safety of the first Americans sent into space beginning in 1961‒1962. Surveying this family's lengthy history, certain of their ideals and peculiarities have persisted across the generations, shaping individual and family choices and actions. Drawing heavily on the philosophy of Charles Taylor (The Ethics of Authenticity), the author believes that the Wards were continually searching for a balance between freedom and authenticity.
This work presents an examination of the political philosophy of Martin Heidegger. It uncovers the political content of Heidegger's thinking on such topics as the temporality of Being, the role of science in the crisis of the West and the presumed special status and destiny of the German people.
"I have always maintained that sociology is a science of liberation and not of restraint."In response to the demand for a concise and comprehensive overview of sociology, "A Text-Book of Sociology" offers an essential guide to the field. This text articulates the scientific foundation of sociology, elucidating its principles and objectives with clarity and precision.This book emphasizes three core aspects: Social Forces and Intellectual Direction: It explores how social forces drive individual and collective actions, both unconsciously and under the conscious direction of intellect, leading to societal progress.Material Achievement and Psychical Development: The authors highlight the significance of material achievements as the foundation for mental and social development, underscoring the importance of systematic education in fundamental principles for a thriving social life.Accessibility and Practical Use: Organized to facilitate use in reading clubs and academic classes, the book's structure enhances its accessibility for both casual readers and dedicated students.Building on the foundation laid in Ward's "Pure Sociology" and incorporating extensive references to his other sociological works, this handbook distills the essence of sociological theory into a practical and digestible format. Recognizing the diversity of perspectives within the field, the authors acknowledge that different viewpoints contribute uniquely to the collective understanding of sociology.This annotated edition features 364 short chapters, each designed to be easily digestible and focused on key aspects of sociological theory. Additionally, a highly detailed table of contents aids readers in navigating the text efficiently and locating key concepts swiftly.

Originally published in 1937, this book presents the philosophy of James Ward, the Professor of Mental Philosophy and Logic at the University of Cambridge. Ward was primarily concerned with the perceived antagonism between science and philosophy or religion, and Murray supplies a psychological background to Ward's thinking that helps to explain his interest in this topic. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Ward or the duality of faith and reason.

Sexuality is arguably the most under-researched of all diversity areas in work organizations. This book brings together and relates stories of minority sexual identity from six organizations drawn from three different industry sectors: the Emergency Services, the Civil Service and the Banking sector. Here sexual minorities freely recount stories of their own workplace experiences. Three main themes emerge from the data: silence, disclosure and response. Issues of voice and silence are particularly pertinent for those who are not part of the dominant heterosexual discourse; issues of disclosure are highly important for sexual minorities for whom coming out is a major defining moment; and, highly unusually, in this book readers get an insight into how people respond to sexual minorities, as other employees' reactions to stories are related too. This book makes a significant contribution to our understanding discursive construction of identity in the workplace, as experienced by sexual minorities andprovides a snapshot of minority working lives at the beginning of the 21st century. This is an extremely well written, highly innovative, timely and engaging book which as well as human resources management, it will also be of interest to scholars in other areas such as sociology and general business and management.

James Ward (1843–1925) was a renowned philosopher and psychologist who criticised the objective principles of scientific naturalism. Believing in the primacy of the subject–object relationship for human experience, he rejected the detached perspective of the sciences; coming to the final conclusion that matter is fundamentally derived from mind, and mind is given coherence by the existence of God. This metaphysical belief was derived from his observations as a psychologist during the earlier part of his career, and his understanding that the subject cannot be reduced to a passive receiver of the objective world. This volume, which was originally published in 1911, was based upon the Gifford Lectures given during the years 1907–10. It constitutes a further development of Ward's beliefs into the form of a complete system, and it remains of value to anyone with an interest in philosophy, psychology or phenomenology.
Leo, a teenager is having a hard time dealing with family upheaval and bullying at school. Sci-Fi is his escape from a world he thinks hates him. However, he finds his imaginary Sci-Fi world morphs into reality. As a result, Leo and his friend Dani discover it's no longer a game and they are not in control. They find something amazing - something of high strangeness that can change the future. This changes the relationships with family and friends. If you were Leo could you handle the responsibility and keep such a secret? If not, whom would you tell? Could you betray someone to save a loved one? Could you put your trust in a group of strangers to help you? These are some of the issues faced by teenagers Leo and his girlfriend Dani as Leo goes from being a zero to a hero.
Philosophers have often bluntly said, and more often tacitly assumed that careful and reasonable men will confine themselves to two very rigid ways of talking. Vile must either show that what we say is a theorem deducible from assumed axioms and postulates, or we must show that what we say is made probable by evidence. This book is at heart an attack upon the idea that rationality requires any such straitjacket, and it repudiates the dichotomy between "analytic" philosophy and philosophy "in the grand tradition." Rationality is here conceived as a subtle and complex temper of deciding, most needed precisely where what we have to say cannot be stuffed into the two narrow pigeonholes in question.
