Theoretical Knowledge in the Mohist Canon - Matthias Schemmel - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Theoretical Knowledge in the Mohist Canon - Matthias Schemmel - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This open access book presents a new translation, interpretation and analysis of selected passages from the so-called Mohist Canon , a Chinese text from ca. 300 BCE, and discusses the role of the text in the world history of science, arguing that it represents an early emergence of theoretical, systematized knowledge that is independent from parallel developments in ancient Greece. It is aimed at historians of science, of knowledge and of philosophy, and generally at readers interested in these topics from an intercultural perspective and particularly with respect to China.

When Do I Take Which Distribution? - Uwe Wehrspohn - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

When Do I Take Which Distribution? - Uwe Wehrspohn - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides the statistical basis for quantitative risk management by presenting and explaining the most important distributions. Distributions describe the occurrence and impact of a risk. They are a prerequisite for risk aggregation, risk analysis and risk assessment as required by the German revision standards IDW PS 340, StaRUG and FISG. This book portrays the distributions that are fundamental for enterprise risk management and shows when and how they are used. These include the Bernoulli distribution, the binomial distribution, the Poisson distribution, the uniform distribution, the triangular distribution, the PERT distribution, the modified PERT distribution, the trapezoidal distribution, the custom distribution, the normal distribution, the lognormal distribution, the Weibull distribution, the expert distribution, the poly distribution and the compound distribution. Furthermore, the book explains how the parameterisation of the distributions can be done via expert estimates or algorithmic calibration.

Uncharted Constellations - John C. Barentine - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Uncharted Constellations - John C. Barentine - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book compiles an array of interesting constellations that fell by the wayside before the IAU established the modern canon of constellations. That decision left out lesser known ones whose history is nevertheless interesting, but at last author John Barentine is giving them their due. This book is a companion to "The Lost Constellations", highlighting the more obscure configurations. The 16 constellations found in this volume fall into one or more of three broad categories: asterims, such as the Big Dipper in Ursa Major; single-sourced constellations introduced on surviving charts by a cartographer perhaps currying the favor of sponsors; and re-brands, new figures meant to displace existing constellations, often for an ideological reason. All of them reveal something unique about the development of humanity''s map of the sky.

Philosophy of Race - Naomi Zack - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Philosophy of Race - Naomi Zack - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Philosophy of Race: An Introduction provides plainly written access to a new subfield that has been in the background of philosophy since Plato and Aristotle. The second edition is updated to include contemporary developments such as digital racisms, metaphysical othering and metaphysical racism, and the rise of populist movements. Its focus has also been expanded to address non-white racial groups in the Americas, Europe, and beyond, such as the Roma and Uighur people. Part I provides an overview of ideas of race and ethnicity in the philosophical canon, egalitarian traditions, race in biology, and race in American and Continental Philosophy. Part II addresses race as it operates in life through colonialism and development, social constructions and institutions, racism, political philosophy, gender, and populist movements. This book constructs an outline that will serve as a resource for students, nonspecialists, and general readers in thinking, talking, and writing about philosophy of race.

Data Analysis of Medical Studies - Potter C. Chang - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Data Analysis of Medical Studies - Potter C. Chang - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book is written for the many health professionals who are regularly frustrated by elegant but ambiguous descriptions of results of data analysis. It uses articles of the New England Journal of Medicine to demonstrate how ambiguous descriptions of results of data analysis may be read, so that it is clear what they do and do not reveal. These demonstrations also show how statistics is misused.

Living Mantra - Mani Rao - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Living Mantra - Mani Rao - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Living Mantra is an anthropology of mantra-experience among Hindu-tantric practitioners. In ancient Indian doctrine and legends, mantras perceived by rishis (seers) invoke deities and have transformative powers. Adopting a methodology that combines scholarship and practice, Mani Rao discovers a continuing tradition of visionaries ( rishis /seers) and revelations in south India''s Andhra-Telangana. Both deeply researched and replete with fascinating narratives, the book reformulates the poetics of mantra-practice as it probes practical questions. Can one know if a vision is real or imagined? Is vision visual? Are deity-visions mediated by culture? If mantras are effective, what is the role of devotion? Are mantras language? Living Mantra interrogates not only theoretical questions, but also those a practitioner would ask: how does one choose a deity, for example, or what might bind one to a guru? Rao breaks fresh ground in redirecting attention to the moments that precede systematization and canon-formation, showing how authoritative sources are formed.

The Bebop Scene in London's Soho, 1945-1950 - Ray Kinsella - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

The Bebop Scene in London's Soho, 1945-1950 - Ray Kinsella - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This is the first book to tell the story of the bebop subculture in London''s Soho, a subculture that emerged in 1945 and reached its pinnacle in 1950. In an exploration via the intersections of race, class and gender, it shows how bebop identities were constructed and articulated. Combining a wide range of archival research and theory, the book evocatively demonstrates how the scene evolved in Soho''s clubs, the fashion that formed around the music, drug usage amongst a contingent of the group, and the moral panic which led to the police raids on the clubs between 1947 and 1950. Thereafter it maps the changes in popular culture in Soho during the 1950s, and argues that the bebop story is an important precedent to the institutional harassment of black-related spaces and culture that continued in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book therefore rewrites the first chapter of the ''classic'' subcultural canon, and resets the subcultural clock; requiring us to rethink the periodization and social make-up of British post-war youth subcultures.

Contemporary Mathematical Thinking - Frederic Patras - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Contemporary Mathematical Thinking - Frederic Patras - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book deals with the evolution of mathematical thought during the 20th century. Representing a unique point of view combining mathematics, philosophy and history on this issue, it presents an original analysis of key authors, for example Bourbaki, Grothendieck and Husserl. As a product of 19th and early 20th century science, a canon of knowledge or a scientific ideology, mathematical structuralism had to give way. The succession is difficult, still in progress, and uncertain. To understand contemporary mathematics, its progressive liberation from the slogans of "modern mathematics" and the paths that remain open today, it is first necessary to deconstruct the history of this long dominant current. Another conception of mathematical thought emerged in the work of mathematicians such as Hilbert or Weyl, which went beyond the narrow epistemological paths of science in the making. In this tradition, mathematical thought was accompanied by a philosophical requirement. Modernity teaches us to revive it. The book is intended for a varied public: mathematicians concerned with understanding their discipline, philosophers of science, and the erudite public curious about the progress of mathematics.

Queering Normativity and South Asian Public Culture - J. Daniel Luther - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Queering Normativity and South Asian Public Culture - J. Daniel Luther - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book develops a queer methodology to analyse a queer archive for the impact of normativity on subjecthood and the ways in which it shapes and curtails gender and sexuality. Chapters demonstrate how normativity functions to mask its own operation, is internalised by subjects, and is continually reproduced through discourse and in material ways. In seeking to make visible the functioning of normativity, the book performs a task of queering normativity by querying that which appears as natural in South Asian public culture. The book engages with both the consolidation and the unsettling of normativity through artefacts of South Asian public culture including canonical figures such as Rabindranath Tagore, literary and cinematic texts, Bollywood films, advertisements, social media posts, and ubiquitous ephemera in South Asia and beyond. Through these texts, the author unpacks the construct of canon, the nation, woman as a post-colonial subject, the home and the child, marriage, same-sex sexuality and identity. This book will be of interest to scholars and students studying and researching Queer Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, South Asian Studies, Cultural Studies, Literary Studies, Film Studies, and Media Studies.
