Values of Our Times

Philosophers have gradually accepted axiology as one branch of philosophy. As a basic category belonging to axiology and philosophy, "value" is the general abstraction of concrete value formation in various fields including utility, ethics and appreciation of the beauty. The problem of value is essentially a problem of historical activities of practice in human society. The axiology based on the scientific practice view insists on the principle of unification between theory and practice, truth and value. In research of axiology, the relation between subjectivity and objectivity of values is a problem that must be solved in the first place. The modern conversation of value philosophy is the academic and practical demands of the value philosophy research in China. Value evaluation is an important part of the axiology. In order to deepen the research of value philosophy and to promote the development of current value philosophy, we must have scientific mode of thinking suitable for the nature of value. It is the base of value relation, the origin of value needs, the process of value creation and actualization and the fundamental way to proving ones value as a human being.​

Inverse Problems in Engineering Mechanics II

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Elsevier

Inverse Problems are found in many areas of engineering mechanics and there are many successful applications e.g. in non-destructive testing and characterization of material properties by ultrasonic or X-ray techniques, thermography, etc. Generally speaking, inverse problems are concerned with the determination of the input and the characteristics of a system, given certain aspects of its output. Mathematically, such problems are ill-posed and have to be overcome through development of new computational schemes, regularization techniques, objective functionals, and experimental procedures. Following the IUTAM Symposium on these topics, held in May 1992 in Tokyo, another in November 1994 in P...

  • Publisher: Routledge

We live in a world where democracy is almost universally accepted as the only legitimate form of government but what makes a society democratic remains far from clear. Liberal democratic values are both relativized by the self-description of many non-democratic regimes as 'local' or 'culturally specific' versions of democracy, and undermined by the automatic labelling as 'democratic' of all norms and institutions that are modelled on western states. Decentring the West: The Idea of Democracy and the Struggle for Hegemony aims to demonstrate the urgent need to revisit the foundations of the global democratic consensus. By examining the views of democracy that exist in the countries on the sem...

Frauen in den deutschen Kolonien

"Kolonialismus erscheint in den meisten Darstellungen bis heute als eine männliche Domäne. Frauen tauchen selten auf, werden höchstens am Rande erwähnt. Und doch waren sie in den kolonialen Unternehmungen des Deutschen Reiches stets präsent und trugen den deutschen Kolonialismus von Beginn an mit. Verlässlich unterstützten sie ihre Ehemänner, die als Kolonialbeamte und Missionare tätig waren, wirkten in Kolonialvereinen bei der Verankerung der kolonialen Idee in der Heimat mit oder lebten selbst, ebenso wie die einhei-mischen Frauen, in kolonialen Herrschaftsräumen als Opfer oder Täterinnen. Der vorliegende Band gibt erstmals einen systematischen Überblick über die verschiedenen Rollen und Funktionen, die sowohl einheimische als auch weiße Frauen innerhalb der deutschen Kolonien einnahmen. Anschaulich verbinden die Autorinnen und Autoren bisher nur verstreut zugängliches empirisches Material mit einer geschlechterspezifischen kolonialhistorischen Analyse. Entstanden ist so ein Buch, das in Deutschland seinesgleichen sucht."--Publisher's description.

  • Publisher: MDPI

Wind turbine aerodynamics is one of the central subjects of wind turbine technology. To reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), the size of a single wind turbine has been increased to 12 MW at present, with further increases expected in the near future. Big wind turbines and their associated wind farms have many advantages but also challenges. The typical effects are mainly related to the increase in Reynolds number and blade flexibility. This Special Issue is a collection of 21 important research works addressing the aerodynamic challenges appearing in such developments. The 21 research papers cover a wide range of problems related to wind turbine aerodynamics, which includes atmospheri...

The Imperial Style of Inquiry in Twentieth-Century China

How have traditional Chinese ways of thinking affected problem solving in this century? The traditional, imperial style of inquiry is associated with the belief that the universe is a coherent, internally structured unity understandable through the similarly structured human mind. It involves a reliance on antecedent and authoritarian models, coupled with an introspective focus in investigations, at some cost to objective fact gathering. In contrast, emergent forms of inquiry are guided by the values of individual autonomy and new perspectives on objectivity. In the 1930s and 1940s, some liberal educators held the model of Western science in great esteem, and some scientists practicing objec...
