Dare to Un-Lead
2022 PORCHLIGHT LEADERSHIP & STRATEGY BOOK OF THE YEAR A transformational book for trying times, Dare to Un-Lead will challenge the way you think and feel about the role of leadership in your life. What is revered as leadership today is often nothing more than a destructive set of obsolete behaviors and systems evolved from the centuries-old industrial theories popularized by Frederick Taylor and Henry Ford. This mode of leadership harms individuals and societies and must be reinvented to better reflect the way we live, trade, and work in the 21st century. Dare to Un-Lead explores how contemporary organizations can transform leadership from a top-down hegemony to one that empowers people to ...
L'engagement littéraire à l'ère néolibérale
Après l'ère du soupçon, voici l’ère néolibérale, qui met le monde en coupe réglée, l’organise à sa façon, manage les « ressources humaines » comme elle gère matières premières et sources d’énergie. Face à une telle coercition, que peut la littérature ? C’était la question de Sartre dans les années cinquante, c’est à nouveau celle des écrivains contemporains. Évocations du monde du travail, romans d’usine et d’entreprise se multiplient sous la plume de François Bon, Didier Daeninckx, Thierry Beinstingel, Nicolas Bourriaud, Lydie Salvayre, Jean-Charles Massera, Michel Houellebecq... Mais s’agit-il encore d’engagement de la littérature en ce début de ...

Le philosophe et l'original
Échappant à tous les genres et à tous les canons, mimant le mouvement et l'exagérant, embrassant des formes normalement différenciées d’expression artistique à la limite du vraisemblable, sinon du lisible, Le Neveu de Rameau est une œuvre ouverte, irrésistible d’enjouement et de gaieté parce que l’humour n’est pas la composante la moins essentielle de ce dialogue qui séduit d’emblée par sa liberté de ton et de composition. On a pu lire l’œuvre selon une opposition dialectique où s’affronteraient d’un côté l’affirmation de la philosophie, de l’autre sa négation. Il faudrait encore prendre en compte la valeur critique du cynisme assumé par un Rameau provo...

The Ruins
This is the first modern edition of The Ruins in English, making the work available to students, scholars and the wider reading public interested in eighteenth-century literature, travel writings, religious ideas and political thought. This edition is preceded by the editor’s introduction that covers the entire career of Volney and analyses the work from a historical perspective. The Ruins, first published in 1791, was translated into English, German, and Dutch within ten years. Volney’s writing provides an invaluable window into the historical anxieties of intellectuals at the beginning of the French Revolution. The Ruins is an exemplary Enlightenment work on history, religion and revolutions, a work of stunning erudition born within the context of anxieties built into the eighteenth-century view of the history of European ‘civilization’. It testifies to the eighteenth-century European intellectuals’ historical concerns about their society’s future during emerging modernity. This book will serve to be a handy and important primary source reading for upper-year courses on the French Revolution, history of orientalism and the Enlightenment.
Business, Globalization and the Common Good
Globalization and information technology are driving the world into a new era. Is it the responsibility of business to pursue the common good - and more precisely, to participate in the construction of the global common good? This book brings together contributions from various disciplines, written by scholars who are at the forefront of this debate. It provides multiple insights into a tripartite relationship: business, globalization and the common good. It helps explain why the business sphere will probably not be in a position to ignore the common good much longer, and why this latter concept, widely ignored in today's management realm, is likely to become part of tomorrow's corporate policies and practices in the global context. Finally, this work opens up a plethora of avenues for future research, calling for the development of transdisciplinary approaches and for the elaboration of a research program embracing theoretical, empirical and spiritual perspectives to tackle this complex issue.
