Cosa ha a che fare Verga con il «feticismo delle merci» di Marx? Perché il personaggio di Geppetto prefigura il «lavoro povero» di oggi? In che modo il diritto di Pinocchio a essere nutrito e curato rispecchia le teorie di Amartya Sen e il Sisifo di Camus l'alienazione del lavoratore? Se l'economia non è certo ciò che verrebbe subito in mente di associare alla letteratura, proprio un economista, eterodosso e controcorrente, ci guida attraverso le pagine di alcuni fra i massimi capolavori di tutti i tempi, gettando le basi per una piccola storia letteraria dell'economia. In un fecondo dialogo con i testi, Luigino Bruni rintraccia fenomeni e concetti che rivelano com'è cambiato il nostro rapporto con il denaro e il lavoro. Descrive gli albori del nuovo corso europeo con gli occhi di Dante, aspro critico del reddito che deriva dal potere e non dalla fatica, mentre già pochi decenni dopo Boccaccio, figlio di mercanti, racconterà la commedia umana del capitale. Rilegge Shakespeare, «profeta» del nascente sistema che nella Londra di fine Cinquecento sostituisce i profitti alle passioni. Interpreta i miracoli economici e sociali del Novecento italiano come il risultato dell'azione di tanti Mazzarò, precursore di quel capitalismo che oggi «si porta nella tomba mari, fiumi e ghiacciai, perché non vede nulla di valore da lasciare ai giovani». Mostrando il volto umano di quella che è stata definita «la scienza triste» in un racconto vivo e appassionante, Bruni invita a riflettere sul delicato passaggio dall'epoca del lavoro a quella del consumo, e ci pone così di fronte a una scelta, perché – scrive – «ogni generazione deve decidere quali virtù di ieri vuole custodire e quali dimenticare».

L'uguaglianza di opportunità è alla base di una democrazia avanzata: ma cosa intendiamo esattamente con questa espressione? Cosa vuol dire uguaglianza di opportunità?Quando ne parliamo pensiamo di riferirci tutti alla stessa cosa, ma non è così. Questo libro cerca di chiarirne il significato, esaminando tre interpretazioni e mostrandoci implicazioni e conseguenze sulle persone: l'uguaglianza di opportunità di partecipazione al mercato, che vede nell'istruzione il mezzo principale per assicurarla; l'uguaglianza di opportunità come compensazione delle disuguaglianze dovute alle circostanze; l'uguaglianza di opportunità come uguaglianza di capacità. Elena Granaglia illustra le differenze tra queste concezioni, che hanno ricadute significativamente diverse sulle politiche sociali ed economiche da adottare, ed esprime la sua preferenza per la terza, quella elaborata da Amartya Sen e Martha Nussbaum.

Imagining After Capitalism is the culmination of professional futurist Andy Hines's 10-year exploration of what comes next after capitalism. Arguing that the absence of compelling positive alternatives keeps us stuck in a combination of fear, denial, and false hope, he offers three “ guiding images” for the long-term future: an environmentally-driven Circular Commons, a socially-and politically-driven Non-Workers'Paradise and a technology-driven Tech-Led Abundance.

The Practicing the Way edition with an introduction by John Mark ComerIn our digitally distracted, fragmented, and hurried culture, many of us are simply too busy and exhausted to have a meaningful life with God. Practices that slow us down to attune to the peace and presence of Jesus are essential for our time. And few practices are more important than immersing ourselves in Scripture.As apprentices of Jesus, our aim isn't just to read Scripture or to know Scripture or even to believe Scripture. Rather, it is to be like Jesus'disciple Mary, who “sat at Jesus'feet, listening to all he said.” It's to be with Jesus, and to be formed to be like him one page at a time. The NIV Lectio Bible was created with that end in mind: to give those walking in the Way of Jesus a way of listening to God on the pages of Scripture.This Lectio Bible is a companion to the Scripture Practice from John Mark Comer and Practicing the Way, a nonprofit that creates resources to help churches apprentice in the Way of Jesus.

Drawing from the perspectives of a variety of disciplines, this innovative text is unlike any others of its kind. Health Policy Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Approach, Fourth Edition analyzes current U.S. health policy and proposes various alternatives for developing future health policy without pushing a single solution set—rather, it considers the viewpoints of health economics, political science, health technology assessment, evaluation, and health services research. Expanded to cover the entire health policy cycle, the Fourth Edition is organized into five sections, beginning with an exploration of the current and historical issues with the U.S. healthcare system and consideration of the alternatives for future policy that have strong support. It then reviews the political processes that influence planning in various healthcare settings; presents the accepted methods of economic and financial analysis; and addresses the ethical and other value considerations that must factor into

Oggi si parla tanto di merito, fino al punto da dedicare a questo nobile concetto perfino un ministero. Ma cosa si intende per «merito»? E, soprattutto, ha senso parlare di merito in una società che favorisce chi parte avvantaggiato e penalizza chi inizia il suo percorso in una condizione di svantaggio? Affinché il merito possa davvero essere premiato è necessario che tutti abbiano eguali opportunità di mettere a frutto i propri talenti e sia perciò attiva quella che può essere considerata il sismografo dello stato di salute di una società: la mobilità sociale. Francesco Farina, economista che da sempre si occupa di crescita economica e diseguaglianze, esamina l'evoluzione della mobilità sociale nei paesi avanzati adottando un approccio multidisciplinare, coniugando analisi economica, pensiero sociologico e filosofia politica. Il quadro che emerge è preoccupante: i dati empirici ci parlano di immobilità, della quasi impossibilità per chi è nato in condizioni sfavorevoli di accedere a posizioni di prestigio. I giovani che si affacciano al mercato del lavoro sanno che molto probabilmente lo status economico e sociale che raggiungeranno nel corso della carriera sarà inferiore a quello dei genitori. Nel dibattito pubblico ha invece sempre più spazio il merito nella sua accezione individualistica, che maschera le diseguaglianze di fondo: lo svantaggio di partenza non viene mai colmato, ed è questo che inficia il merito, che lo tradisce. È necessario un intervento correttivo del sistema capitalistico, all'insegna di un «universalismo differenziato». Per impedire che l'ideologia neoliberista finisca per costruire una società di caste, le politiche pubbliche devono attribuire un valore maggiore al benessere di chi è svantaggiato; per rendere gli individui eguali l'unica via è trattarli in modo diseguale. La «società giusta» è quella che realizza l'«equità nell'istruzione». I giovani ai quali l'ambiente famigliare e sociale preclude un futuro dignitoso vanno sostenuti in tutti i gradi dell'apprendimento. Il diritto a conseguire un titolo di studio universitario non è altro che il diritto a mettere alla prova i propri talenti per farli fiorire.

The execution narrative was a popular genre in early modern England. This facsimile edition draws together a representative selection of texts to show the evolution of the genre from the late sixteenth century to the end of public execution in England nearly 300 years later.

This volume deals with the development of moral and political philosophy in the medieval West. Professor Nederman is concerned to trace the continuing influence of classical ideas, but emphasises that the very diversity and diffuseness of medieval thought shows that there is no single scheme that can account for the way these ideas were received, disseminated and reformulated by medieval ethical and political theorists.

Eine einfühlsame und kritische Analyse des »Hiobzyklus« wirft ein neues Licht auf Karl Wolfskehl Anhand ausgewählter Schriften aus verschiedenen Lebensphasen diskutiert Na Schädlich erstmalig Wolfskehls bewusst als ›Lebenswerk‹ angelegtes Dichtungsprojekt, das sie als Versuch der Etablierung eines ›deutschen Symbolismus‹ deutet. Im Zentrum der Studie steht der im neuseeländischen Exil entstandene Gedichtzyklus Hiob oder die vier Spiegel. Um das ›Lebenswerk‹ zu historisieren, widmet sich die Studie u.a. der altgermanistischen Dissertationsschrift Wolfskehls sowie seiner lebenslangen poetischen Auseinandersetzung mit Friedrich Nietzsche und Stefan George. Wenn auch seine Schriften, insbesondere unter dem Aspekt der Kunstreflexion, heute eine neue Entdeckung verdienen, darf nicht der Wolfskehl aus dem Blick geraten, der sein Schreiben in den Dienst hochproblematischer Totalitätsansprüche gestellt hat. Beide Aspekte wurden in der Forschung bislang vernachlässigt, gelegentlich sogar systematisch verwischt. Neben der Werkanalyse ist somit auch eine Geschichte der Verdrängung zu vergegenwärtigen.

Este volumen es un homenaje al legado literario de Teresa de Jesús, atendiendo a los tres parámetros que forman su título: la santidad, celebrada de forma expresa en las ceremonias y consiguientes fiestas de canonización; la escritura, a través de diversos aspectos del estilo de la abulense; y el legado, materializado en la obra de las primeras carmelitas. Como parte de ese legado y a modo de cierre del volumen, se añade la recepción de la obra literaria de Teresa en diversas épocas, autores o géneros. Una parte de los trabajos aquí presentados germinó en el Congreso Internacional «Teresa de Jesús y su legado: santidad y escritura. 400 años de su canonización», celebrado en el CITeS (Centro Internacional Teresiano y Sanjuanista de Ávila) el 16 y el 17 de junio de 2022, promovido conjuntamente por el GRISO (Grupo Internacional Siglo de Oro) de la Universidad de Navarra y el Proyecto «CARMEL-LIT (Mulier fortis, mulier docta. Hibridismo literario y resistencia en las comunidades carmelitas posteresianas, siglos XVI y XVII)», concedido por el Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades e incardinado en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

Problems related to the respiratory system are among the first reasons for applying to emergency clinics. As a result of air pollution, climate changes, increasing air pollution, the emergence of new microorganisms that affect the respiratory system, chemical irritants, and the increase in malignant diseases of the respiratory system, emergency service applications are also increasing. In patients admitted to the emergency department with nonspecific complaints such as shortness of breath, cough, and hemoptysis, the cause may be due to a disease such as pneumonia, or it may be an indicator of potentially fatal diseases such as pulmonary embolism or foreign body aspiration. In patients who come to the emergency department with pulmonary complaints, the emergency physician should first perform the emergency treatment for the potentially fatal problems of the patients (opening the airway, oxygen support, respiratory stabilization, circulatory stabilization), and make the differential diagnosis of fatal diseases. This book covers the principles of emergency diagnosis and treatment of potentially fatal diseases common in the emergency department. The will be useful for emergency physicians, pulmonologists, intensive care physicians and medical school students.

This book is the first of its kind to apply social contextual analysis to the issue of poverty. It sets out detailed accounts of poverty based on original research and shows how understanding life contexts can give us a deeper understanding of the issue.The book highlights detailed life contexts from a project exploring the everyday experience of poverty, including what poverty is and what psychology has to say about poverty. It showcases work from an original study in Australia that uses on-the-ground participatory interview research, integrating this with international literature to provide a comprehensive analysis of poverty. The chapters explore the complexity, and often the simplistic reductions used in answering questions that try to define poverty, the psychological understanding of the phenomena, how individuals experience it, and the general opinion of the status-quo regarding poverty. However, most importantly the book tries to investigate why we have not solved poverty in modern, capitalist life, and sets out recommendations for research, practice, and policy in addressing issues of poverty.Showing the need for rigorous and on-the-ground approaches to addressing poverty and its many complications, the book will be highly relevant to students and researchers in the fields of social psychology, critical psychology, community psychology, social work, and social policy. It will also be relevant for anyone interested in the application of social psychological research techniques to the understanding and intervention of social issues, by showing pathways to better explore and understand human behaviour.

Deng Xiaoping è stato l'inarrivabile marxista capace di migliorare la vita dei cinesi nell'ultimo scorcio del Novecento, gettando le basi perché il XXI secolo diventasse l'epoca di un nuovo mondo multipolare, ovvero capace di portare, nelle migliori intenzioni del socialismo, pace e prosperità a tutte le nazioni della Terra. Un gigante della politica, un uomo al contempo concreto e visionario, in grado di spalancare orizzonti nuovi, arditi e inaspettati, che ha aperto le porte di un tempo di cui lui solo aveva i precisi contorni. Un uomo silenzioso e modesto, poco appariscente, volutamente riservato: la sua lungimiranza e le sue realizzazioni lo proiettano nella storia. Eppure di sé ha sempre detto di essere semplicemente un marxista, capace tuttavia di attraversare l'intero Novecento vincendone contraddizioni, difficoltà e stravolgimenti, restando fedele alle sue idee, non certo intendendole come dogmi, ma come azione politica modernizzatrice con cui forgiare il futuro. Le critiche di alcuni comunisti occidentali, che nulla hanno costruito se non il pulpito che sovrasta le macerie dei loro fallimenti, sono inconsistenti di fronte alla sua capacità di mutare la Cina e indirizzarla, con le parole di Xi Jinping, verso una comunità umana dal futuro condiviso.

In this book, the development process of blockchain algorithms and examples of their applications in different sectors are explored. The opportunities and challenges of blockchain implementations that arise in making technological innovations usable in corporate structures are discussed. In this respect, the book aims to deal with both the conceptual framework and the real challenges and opportunities encountered in practice regarding the blockchain applications. It is tried to contribute to the literature by presenting practical blockchain application suggestions to the readers on a scientific basis.It is a fact that blockchain technology is considered one of the most disruptive and revolutionary innovations after the invention of the internet. Blockchain technology, which was first used for cross-border payments, is coming up with a new application area in a different sector every day. The main purpose of Blockchain-based systems is to spread the'trust'service provided by a central intermediary to machines in transactions between two parties. Thus, it removes the need for this trust from the monopoly of a single intermediary. Blockchain implementation scenarios are to establish math-based trust in an untrusted environment.While exploring the complexity of blockchain applications in different sectors, the emerging risks are also examined from a management perspective. In particular, it is aimed to be a key work that the management levels of the enterprises can benefit from in the decision-making processes.It will be seen that blockchain technologies will be used unlimitedly in design, planning, management and decision making. This book will also introduce new visions for practitioners to use different blockchain technologies and methodologies to face problems.

Uno dei problemi principali affrontati nel corso dei secoli dai filosofi politici è la differenza tra l'agire politico e l'agire in modo moralmente giusto. Per la filosofia politica contemporanea la giustizia globale è il principale rompicapo da risolvere, e il compito dei filosofi politici coincide con l'elaborazione di una teoria che tenga insieme le diverse esigenze. È un dovere tanto ineludibile quanto difficile. Serve una teoria che risponda alla domanda a proposito del'mondo giusto'e che si misuri con l'ingiustizia della terra. Salvatore Veca, che è stato uno dei maggiori filosofi politici contemporanei, con questo libro ci offre una guida alla filosofia politica contemporanea.

Existem mais de 632 mil pessoas em situação de rua, uma violação descomunal dos direitos humanos. É de suma importância trazer à baila a questão dessa violação, o Estado e a Sociedade devem ter em mente que urge a necessidade de apoio e mudança dessa situação. O debate acerca da temática torna-se inquestionável, levando, assim, à tomada de ações para que as pessoas em situação de rua possam voltar a ter seus direitos de vida garantidos.

O estado de exceção, teoria proposta pelo filósofo e jurista Giorgio Agamben, opera-se diante de uma crise, em que o governante (soberano) assume, legalmente, um estado de guerra para suspender direitos individuais em ofensa à democracia e ao equilíbrio constitucional dos poderes. Esse estado já está impregnado na realidade brasileira, não havendo instrumentos jurídicos que o repudiem. Esse cenário subjuga o desenvolvimento sustentável, especialmente o tripé ambiental, pela redução considerável do orçamento destinado ao meio ambiente. Não obstante, é possível elaborar um orçamento verde desde que haja a mobilização popular na elaboração orçamentária através do orçamento participativo e o respeito aos princípios orçamentários que atuam nos poderes dos governantes. Instrumentos do estado de exceção podem ser rompidos pela força da linguagem, forma de resistência/experiência que imprime no cidadão força para transformar o status quo de fragilização das políticas públicas orçamentárias ambientais. Trata-se de uma publicação de viés inovador e interdisciplinar, que reforça o diálogo entre o Direito Tributário, Ambiental, Orçamentário e a Filosofia, qualificada para tonar-se material de referência e consulta para docentes e discentes de cursos de graduação e pós-graduação das áreas das Ciências Sociais Aplicadas.

Coloro che si opposero alla barbarie del nazismo molto spesso sono caduti nell'oblio, forse ben più che non i loro crudeli avversari. Questo libro narra di un prete di campagna con aspirazioni letterarie, il bavarese Georg Moenius (1890-1953), che seppe lottare contro il nazismo e la sua ideologia con le armi a propria disposizione, in particolare un giornale cattolico pubblicato a Monaco fino al 1933, la “Allgemeine Rundschau”. Come tanti altri, con la presa di potere di Hitler nella primavera del 1933 dovette fuggire; si recò in Svizzera, poi in Francia e finalmente negli Stati Uniti, dove condusse un'esistenza stentata, come milioni di altri profughi. A distanza di settant'anni dalla sua morte, questo volume è la prima biografia che sia mai apparsa su di lui. La storia di un intellettuale cattolico, un parroco di provincia, che si battè contro forze più grandi di lui, senza essere nato eroe. Rappresentante di un pensiero federale e parzialmente liberale, sostenitore di una idea di Europa legata alla romanitas come legame indissolubile tra civiltà greco-latina e cattolicesimo, Moenius seppe dialogare con figure come Friedrich W. Foerster, Henri Massis, Charles Maurras, Mario Bendiscioli, Hugo Ball e numerosi altri intellettuali conservatori ma anti-nazisti; allo stesso tempo allontanandosi da quei cattolici che anche in Germania, dopo il Concordato del 1933, cercarono di conciliare la propria fede con l'adesione al nazionalsocialismo. Il volume si conclude con l'unico scritto mai tradotto in italiano di Moenius – figura legata per tantissimi aspetti al nostro Paese e non solo a Roma – che rappresenta la migliore chiave d'accesso al suo pensiero.

ESPACIO ELE se inscribe en el marco de una reflexión sobre el lenguaje, la interculturalidad y la adquisición y enseñanza de un idioma extranjero. Indaga los mecanismos que involucra la comprensión y producción en línea de hablantes adultos cuya lengua materna no es el español. Se ocupa también del proceso de aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera por parte de niños. Este volumen deriva de interrogantes que nos planteamos en el equipo de investigación y en el seminario extracurricular Aspectos teóricos y didácticos en español como lengua extranjera, de la carrera de Letras, Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, del que participan la mayoría de los autores de estos capítulos. En ese espacio surgió el interés por tratar de articular las teorías lingüísticas y los resultados de las investigaciones con las prácticas áulicas, de ahí que el libro brinde también originales y creativas propuestas didácticas. La obra fue pensada y tiene como destinatarios directos a los profesores y estudiantes de español como lengua extranjera. También puede ser de interés para los docentes de otras lenguas extranjeras y de español como lengua materna por la amplia variedad de textos y actividades de todos los niveles presentadas que fomentan la reflexión metalingüística y la interpelación sobre su propia cultura y la del otro. Las propuestas pueden adaptarse a estudiantes de distintas edades, tanto en contextos de inmersión como a destinatarios de habla no hispana en situaciones de educación no formal.

Best contemporary edition of the Collected Works of Rodolphus Agricola (1443-1485), one of the precursors and founders of Humanism north of the Alps.

Des signes étranges rappelant des écritures anciennes affleurent au cimetière de Montparnasse au cours de la rénovation d'une tombe. Les travaux ont été commandés par un aristocrate de vieille souche. Son attitude pointilleuse attire l'attention de la jeune et charmante restauratrice d'art qu'il a embauchée. Suite à l'apparition du premier signe, deux autres habitués du cimetière, un professeur d'Histoire d'origine chilienne et un ouvrier russe, vont plonger dans l'énigme, qui leur apparaît comme un jeu de pistes. Les recherches mèneront loin, à l'Égypte ancienne et à la déportation de Napoléon Bonaparte à Sainte-Hélène, mais elles raviveront aussi des souvenirs enfouis, les soubresauts politiques chiliens, la ville de Santiago d'autrefois, le stalag de Dawson, cette autre île de déportation utilisée par la dictature militaire. Confrontations parfois douloureuses, parfois nostalgiques, avec un passé de séparation et d'exil. Alors qu'ils avancent vers la résolution de l'énigme, les personnages du roman apprennent à se connaître, et nouent des liens d'amitié, d'humour et d'amour. Par-delà les mystères qu'ils tentent d'éclaircir, c'est peut-être là que résidera leur véritable découverte.

Il trauma che si è abituati a gestire è quello fisico, delle malattie e delle ferite. Tuttavia curare solo la malattia non garantisce necessariamente un benessere complessivo al paziente. L'obiettivo di questo lavoro è rendere replicabili dei modelli di intervento per la promozione del benessere e la riduzione della sintomatologia del disturbo da stress post traumatico con EMDR nello scenario del contesto sanitario. Il volume si rivolge ai terapeuti con uno sguardo rivolto ai medici e ai sanitari tutti, che quotidianamente lavorano a contatto con la sofferenza e che, nonostante sviluppino un'alta soglia di tolleranza alle situazioni da stress estremo, possono manifestare disturbi a breve o lungo termine a seguito di traumatizzazione vicaria. Il presente volume offre una parte clinica teorica di riferimento, una sezione interventi e un'appendice in cui sono riportati strumenti, scale e protocolli d'azione specifici applicabili in contesti emergenziali e in ambito peritraumatico.

Nella città neoliberista, le molteplici comunità che vi coesistono sono caratterizzate da un insieme complesso di pratiche sociali e mediali che ne modificano continuamente le identità. Si tratta di “spazi liminali”, al confine tra due spazi dominanti, senza far pienamente parte di nessuno dei due: non vi sono confini chiari, né pratiche intrecciate con le aspettative sociali, le routine e le norme. Nella prospettiva della riconfigurazione degli spazi sociali liminali, questa ricerca pone attenzione ai processi di partecipazione ibridi (on site e digitali) realizzati, in corso di realizzazione e ipotizzati dagli attori sociali e istituzionali. Il volume si propone inoltre di indagare le pratiche trasformative delle comunità liminali nelle città metropolitane italiane, con una verifica costante e puntuale delle principali ipotesi di ricerca teoriche avanzate su questi ambiti e servendosi anche dei risultati raccolti nella ricerca sul campo.

El objetivo que los autores pretenden con esta publicación es el de establecer las bases teóricas de una política para la transición hacia sociedades sostenibles sobre la Idea de Justicia en un contexto de decrecimiento sobrevenido.La originalidad de dicho propósito está en el reconocimiento explícito de que nuestra actual coyuntura climática es tecnológica y económicamente incorregible. Por tanto, a partir de esos primeros resultados recogidos en esta obra, si los análisis son ciertos, parece que lo más sensato es tratar de anteponer todo tipo de cautelas que nos preparen para un forzoso y problemático cambio sociocultural caracterizado por una creciente escasez en el que aún pueden perderse las conquistas políticas que, gracias a las diferentes luchas sociales habidas a lo largo de la historia, lograron sustanciarse en garantías de libertades básicas y derechos fundamentales ampliamente reconocidos.Para que este extravío acontezca basta con persistir en los mismos procederes que nos han conducido a la dramática situación que este libro explicita. Quienes, por el contrario, mantengan si quiera un ápice de rebeldía contra esas dejaciones y conformismos, quizá en estas páginas encuentren otros motivos de reflexión ética, política y jurídica que ayuden a evitar los peores desenlaces.

Alors que l'Europe se débattait dans un Moyen-Âge de tensions et de carcans où les femmes furent souvent des figurantes, la civilisation arabe depuis l'Antiquité avait inauguré une conception haute de l'amour courtois, en développant un véritable art d'aimer. Les thèmes avant-gardistes et les formes métriques de cette poésie, fondés sur la spiritualisation de l'amour et la sublimation de la chasteté, vont inspirer, à travers le duc d'Aquitaine Guillaume IX, les créations poético-musicales des troubadours d'Occitanie. Ce livre retrace l'épopée créatrice de ces rencontres entre l'Orient et l'Occident et inaugure une réflexion fondamentale sur cet héritage oublié.

This book provides an overall picture of East Asian international politics during the early interwar period and examines the various foreign policy trends of the major powers involved, including Japan, China, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Based on extensive original research, it posits that East Asia experienced four waves of international change during the interwar period: the transition to the post-World War I international order; the appearance of Nationalist China and the Soviet Union as actors in East Asian international politics; the Japanese invasion of Manchuria; and Japanese implementation of the North China Buffer State Strategy. It considers the new challenges brought about by each of these waves, how the powers – particularly Japan, Britain, and the United States – were able to meet these challenges by working together, and how this became more difficult as time went on. It argues that the Washington System – the international order established at the 1921–1922 Washington Naval Conference – was not a break with the past, as is frequently argued, on account of new forms of foreign policy, including the ideological approaches of the United States and the Soviet Union, but that rather spheres of influence diplomacy continued as before. In addition, in discussing Japanese foreign policy, the book provides a comprehensive picture of the diversity of views towards China among Japanese actors and the ways these shifted over time.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.

As sociedades humanas, no tempo e no espaço, adotam padrões de comportamento diferentes. Isso autoriza a afirmação de que não existem padrões de correção, distintos dos fornecidos pelo direito positivo, a partir dos quais se possa avaliar a justiça de uma conduta? Por outro lado, caso existam, quem os determinaria? Os direitos humanos são não raras vezes indicados como a ideia básica a partir da qual um'pós-positivismo'teria superado a antiga discussão entre jusnaturalistas e positivistas, mas o multiculturalismo, e os problemas inerentes à universalização dos direitos humanos, mostram que ainda há muito a ser questionado. Partindo de um exame da natureza da criatura humana e das normas de conduta por ela construídas, neste livro se apontam caminhos para a construção da justiça possível em cada sociedade, que pode não ser eterna e universal, mas que não é por isso qualquer uma, imposta por quem tenha a força. Leitura complementar para as disciplinas Introdução ao Estudo do Direito, Teoria Geral do Direito, Direito Constitucional, Filosofia do Direito, Filosofia Política, Teoria do Estado e Teoria da Democracia dos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação em Direito, por permitir ao aluno uma visão crítica e reflexiva dos fundamentos do ordenamento jurídico e, com isso, de como torná-lo mais justo e legítimo.
