Aesthetics of the Virtual
Author: Roberto Diodato
File Type: pdf
Arguing that the virtual body is something newnamely, an entity that from an ontological perspective has only recently entered the worldRoberto Diodato considers the implications of this kind of body for aesthetics. Virtual bodies insert themselves into the space opened up by the famous distinction in Aristotles Physics between natural and artificial beingsthey are both. They are beings that are simultaneously events they are images that are at once internal and external they are ontological hybrids that exist only in the interaction between logical-computational text and human bodies endowed with technological prostheses. Pursuing this line of thought, Diodato reconfigures classic aesthetic concepts such as mimesis, representation, the relation between illusion and reality, the nature of images and imagination, and the theory of sensory knowledge. Reconfigures classic aesthetic concepts in relation to the novelty introduced by virtual bodies.

This spirited and engaging conversation between two of Americas foremost and influential cultural critics and international theorists of the last decade explores what both Enlightenment and contemporary philosophers have to say about the idea of the nation-state, who exercises power in todays world, whether there is such a thing as a right to rights, and the past, present, and future of the state in a time of globalization. In a world of migration and shifting allegiances caused by cultural, economic, military, and climatic change, the nation-state, as Judith Butler and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak argue, has become a more provisional placeand its inhabitants, more stateless.ReviewJudith Butler is quite simply one of the most probing, challenging, and influential thinkers of our time. (J. M. Bernstein, The New School) [Spivaks] lifelong search for fresh insights and understanding has transcended the traditional boundaries of discipline while retaining the fire for new knowledge that is the hallmark of a great intellect. (Lee Bollinger, President of Columbia University) Book DescriptionIn a world of migration and shifting allegiances, the statehas becomea more provisional place and its inhabitants more stateless.What is contained in a state has become ever more plural while the boundaries of a state have become ever more fluid. No longer does a state naturally come with a nation. This book is set in the form of a conversation between two renowned thinkers, Judith Butler and Gayatri Spivak, who discuss the fact that globalization has made things like national anthems and political boundaries obsolete. The result is a spirited and engaging conversation that ranges widely across Palestine, what Enlightenment and key contemporary philosophers have said about the state, who exercises power in todays world, whether we can have a right to rights, and even what the singing of The Star Spangled Banner in Spanish says about the complex world we live in today.

Every startup wants to change the world. But the ones who truly make an impact know something the others dont how to make government and regulation work for them.As startups use technology to shape the way we live, work, and learn, theyre taking on challenges in sectors like healthcare, infrastructure, and education, where failure is far more consequential than a humorous chat with Siri or the wrong package on your doorstep. These startups inevitably have to face governments responsible for protecting citizens through regulation. Love it or hate it, were entering the next era of the digital revolution the Regulatory Era.The big winners in this era--in terms of both impact and financial return--will need skills they wont teach you in business school or most startup incubators how to scale a business in an industry deeply intertwined with government.Here, for the first time, is the playbook on how to win the regulatory era. Regulatory hacking doesnt mean cutting through red tape its really about finding a creative, strategic approach to navigating complex markets.Evan Burfield is the cofounder of 1776, a Washington, DC-based venture capital firm and incubator specializing in regulated industries. Burfield has coached startups on how to understand, adapt to, and influence government regulation. Now, in Regulatory Hacking, he draws on that expertise and real startup success stories to show you how to do the same. For instance, youll learn how... * AirBnB rallied a grassroots movement to vote No on San Franciscos Prop F, which would have restricted its business in the city. * HopSkipDrive overcame safety concerns about its kids ridesharing service by working with state government to build trust into its platform. * 23andMe survived the FDAs order to stop selling its genetic testing kits by building trusted relationships with scientists who could influence the federal regulatory community.Through fascinating case studies and interviews with startup founders, Burfield shows you how to build a compelling narrative for your startup, use it to build a grassroots movement to impact regulation, and develop influence to overcome entrenched relationships between incumbents and governments. These are just some of the tools in the book that youll need to win the next frontier of innovation.

THEOL

Author: Steven C. van Den Heuvel
File Type: pdf
The experience of moral values is often side-lined in discussions about moral reasoning, and yet our values define a large part of our moral motives, standards and expectations. Theological Ethics and Moral Value Phenomena explores whether the experience of a meeting point of the immanent and the transcendent, i.e. the moral self and God, can be the source of our values. The book starts by arguing for a greater theological engagement with value ethics, personalism and the phenomenological method by drawing on thinkers such as Max Scheler and William James. It then provides an understanding of the social and religious dimension of the valuing person, demonstrating the importance of the emotional, as well as the cognitive, dimension of value experience. Finally, this value perspective is utilised to engage with current moral issues such as professional ethics, environmental ethics, economical ethics and family ethics. Integrating the concepts of religious experience, moral motivation, and subjective and objective value within a broad framework of Christian theology and philosophy, this is vital reading for any scholar of Theology and Philosophy with an interest in ethics and moral reasoning. **About the Author Steven C. van den Heuvel is postdoctoral researcher in the department of Systematic Theology at the Evangelische Theologische Faculteit (ETF), Leuven, Belgium Angela Roothaan is assistant professor of Philosophy at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands Patrick Nullens is professor of Christian Ethics and Rector at the Evangelische Theologische Faculteit (ETF), Leuven, Belgium

Controversial Concordats offers an engaging survey of the relationship of the Roman Catholic Church with three dictatorial figures in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Napoleon, Mussolini, and Hitler. The essays reveal that the papacy not only played a key role in determining church-state relations in particular countries, but also greatly influenced the general course of international relations and modern history from the era of the French Revolution to the age of dictators and World War II.This volume examines the concordats signed by Pope Pius VII and his Secretary of State Consalvi with Napoleonic France in 1801 the concordat concluded by Pius XI and Cardinal Gasparri with Fascist Italy in 1929 and that signed by Pius XI and Cardinal Pacelli with the Third Reich in 1933. In addition to tracing the evolution of these crucial agreements, the contributors assess their consequences at home and abroad, their impact on the universal Church and the Catholic faith, and their effect on European and international developments. A complete bibliography-divided into three parts corresponding to the periods examined-offers a historiographical overview of the sources for each of the agreements. It also provides important references on the broad issue of church-state relations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.ABOUT THE EDITORFrank J. Coppa is professor of history and director of the doctoral program in modern world history at St. Johns University, New York. He is the author or editor of numerous works, including The Origins of the Italian War of Independence, The Dictionary of Modern Italian History, and Modern Italian History An Annotated Bibliography.THE CONTRIBUTORSIn addition to the editor, the contributors are Joseph A. Biesinger, William Roberts, Stewart A. Stehlin, and John Zeender.PRAISE FOR THE BOOKA welcome attempt to get the historical record right regarding the Vaticans relationship with the dictators of Europe. It is exceptionally fair, accurate, and comprehensive.Crisis[A] valuable compendium of essays on Napoleons, Mussolinis, and Hitlers concordats with the Vatican.New York Review of BooksA refreshingly scholarly account of concordats in general and three concordats in particular. Engagingly written to appeal to both the specialist and the general reader, this book offers insights into the accords that the popular press does not.AmericaThe essays in this book will be of particular interest to students and the general reading public, since they are based largely on secondary literature. The book will be an invaluable aid for teaching, since the essays are well presented, can be linked with the included texts of the concordats, and provide a basis for comparative study and discussion. The bibliography is extensive and there is an especially valuable annotated bibliography for the section on the German concordat. . . . [A] valuable contribution . . . for those interested in a comparative study of Church-State relations in the modern period.Catholic Historical ReviewThese fine essays have an inner coherence that helps disclose the ongoing church-state tensions that have affected post-1789 European history, and they help illuminate the Vaticans ongoing political and pastoral mission in dealing with the secular world.Church HistoryThis book offers much-needed historical perspective on the Papacys treaties with Napoleon, Mussolini, and Hitler . . . The contributors provide balanced historiographical assessments of each treaty. Readers will appreciate having clear English-language translations of all three concordats brought together within one volume.Prof. Steven White, Mount St. Marys College & SeminaryAlthough co **
