Book excerpt: Founded in 1900 to promote the exchange of ideas among philosophers, to encourage creative and scholarly activity in philosophy, to facilitate the professional work and teaching of philosophers, and to represent philosophy as a discipline, the American Philosophical Association (APA) has from a few hundred members to more than ten thousand, now being one of the largest philosophical societies in the world and the only American philosophical society not devoted to a single special school or philosophical approach. In 1999, in anticipation of its centennial, the APA authorized philosopher Richard T. Hull to collect and publish the presidential addresses delivered over the course of the first hundred years of the APA. This is the tenth volume in the series, which covers addresses given between 1991 and 2000. Each presidential address is accompanied by a photo and biography of the author , a chronology of the APA, a list of presidents per decade, a list of universities and colleges closely associated with each president, and name and subject indexes. Distinguished philosophers represented in this volume include Annette Baier, Stuart Hampshire, Judith Thompson, Stanley Cavell, Mary Mothersill, Elliott Sober, Martha Nussbaum, and many others. This unique record of the development and leadership of American philosophy during the twentieth century will complement the libraries of both professional philosophers and interested non-professionals and it provides an excellent resource for students and professionals alike to trace the history of special interest areas in philosophy. An eleventh volume of commissioned essays, covering each decade of The Association's first hundred years, is planned. This will include essays that comment on the philosophical trends represented in each of the decades of the APA's first century.

This book was released on 1999-03-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documents a decade that saw the Association begin negotiations to merge with the Western Philosophical Association that later led to the original organization becoming the Eastern Division of an expanded Association, and a world war that divided friends and colleagues across both geographical and political lines. The addresses, therefore, take on internal and external politics and are often tinged with tragedy. The topics include the problem of transcendence, Bergson and pragmatism, time and the experience of time, the ethics of states, the doctrinaire in a time of crisis, the psychology of punitive justice, art and the democracy, the social significance of education, and the attack on the state. Biographical sketches and photographs are provided for the speakers. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book was released on 1999 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the further development and emergence of American philosophy, particularly Naturalism and Pragmatism, against the backdrop of still-dominant Hegelian philosophy, during the third decade of the 20th century, through the addresses and biographies of the presidents of its oldest and largest philosophical society. Of special interest is the previously unpublished presidential address of Henry Walgrave Stewart, second president of the Pacific Division of The American Philosophical Association. The work contains the biographies, photographs, and addresses of 24 past presidents, and photographs and addresses of others. No other publication has collected the presidential addresses of this, the largest society of philosophers, during its third decade of existence, and in no other publication are the biographies and photographs of all of its presidents available. While some histories of this period in 20th century American philosophy have been written, and while some collections of articles by philosophers exist which include writings of some of these individuals, none has concentrated on a representation of the leadership of

Book Synopsis Perspectives on Thought Leadership for Africaís Renewal by : Kondlo, Kwandiwe
Download or read book Perspectives on Thought Leadership for Africaís Renewal written by Kondlo, Kwandiwe and published by Africa Institute of South Africa. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines perspectives of emerging and established African scholars on what one could describe as the debate on leadership and the articulation of the life of the mind in Africa's socio-economic, political and cultural life from the time of independence to date. The papers contained in the book cover the following thematic areas: Alternative Leadership Paradigm for Africa's Advancement; African Perspectives on Globalisation and international relations; Pan-Africanism and the African Renaissance; Scientific, Technological and Cultural Dimensions of African Development. The first section deals with alternative leadership paradigms for Africa's advancement. It also debates the 'thin line' separating management studies from leadership studies and untangles the hermeneutic complexities in the term 'leadership'. Section two examines among other things, the crucial challenge of globalisation and public ethics and others African perspectives. The section also interrogates the current complexities and credibility deficits in the global governance of trade and towards the end engages philosophical questions about conscience and consciousness in African development and progress. The debates in section three continue to section four and focus on the overall issues of language and liberation, the significance of Multi-, Inter and Trans-Disciplinary Approaches in the analysis of the African continent, appropriate indigenous paradigms for promoting the African renaissance as well as a series of debates on the meaning and prospects of regional integration in Africa's renewal. This provides just a snapshot of a very wide ranging and interesting debate contained in the publication.
