Author: Heidi Gottfried File Type: pdf The Reproductive Bargain reveals the institutional sources of labor insecurities behind Japan s postwar employment system. This economic juggernaut s decline cannot be understood without reference to the reproductive bargain. The historical terms of the reproductive bargain rests on the establishment of company citizenship in support of a standard employment relationship, privileging the male breadwinner in calculations for benefits in exchange for the salarymen working long hours in relatively secure jobs at the enterprise and relying on women s unpaid reproductive labor in the family and increasingly on women s waged work in nonstandard jobs. Such institutionalized relationships, formerly the engines of growth and stability, drag economic expansion and employment security. Gendering institutional analysis is a key to deciphering the enigma of Japanese capitalism. **

Author: William McNeill File Type: pdf Explores the notion of ethos in Heideggers thought. The Time of Life explores Heideggers rethinking of ethics and of the ethical in terms of an understanding of the original Greek notion of ethos. Engaging the ethical in Heideggers thought in relation to Aristotle, Michel Foucault, and Friedrich Holderlin, William McNeill examines the way in which Heideggers thought shifts our understanding of ethics away from a set of theoretically constructed norms, principles, or rules governing practice toward an understanding of the ethical as our concrete way of Being in the world. Central to this study is the consideration of the ethical in relation to time the time of biological life, the time of human life as biographical and historical, the temporality of human action, and the historicality of human thought. In addition, this book critically examines the predicament of ethical responsibility in a scientific-technological era, considering how the world of modern science and technology call upon us to rethink the nature of ethical responsibilities. McNeills scholarship on Heidegger is excellent, and he writes clearly and with great lucidity and insight on thoughts and questions that are quite difficult to articulate. Daniela Vallega-Neu, author of The Bodily Dimension in Thinking McNeills knack for explicating the kernel of Heideggers often-thorny argumentation is on full display throughout the book, and his ability to render the difficulty posed by Heideggers dense thinking into the most cogent expression is most remarkable. Jeffrey L. Powell, Marshall University William McNeill is Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University and is the author of The Glance of the Eye Heidegger, Aristotle, and the Ends of Theory, also published by SUNY Press. **Review McNeills scholarship on Heidegger is excellent, and he writes clearly and with great lucidity and insight on thoughts and questions that are quite difficult to articulate.
