English | ISBN: 1138617008 | 2018 | 212 pages | PDF | 1236 KB
This book presents a new way of understanding organizational ethnography due to its strong emphasis on what the word organizational means in organizational ethnography. In the past five years, a new organizational studies research field has developed involving organizational ethnographies, which is when organizations are studied using ethnographical methods. This development has shed light on the methods and difficulties of organizational ethnography, and yet we argue that confusion still remains as to what organizational ethnographical approaches are.

Free Download Jeff McMahan, "Derek Parfit: His Life and Thought"
English | ISBN: 0192894242 | 2025 | 320 pages | PDF | 7 MB
At the time of his death in January 2017, Derek Parfit was widely regarded among philosophers as the best and most important moral philosopher in well over a century. He was also both legendarily eccentric and legendarily generous. In his later years he became increasingly reclusive in his obsessive struggle to develop his ideas and arguments about an extensive set of philosophical problems before he died. His perfectionism, meticulous concern for the truth, and openness to being proved wrong prevented him from being satisfied until he had a convincing response to every possible objection to the views he sought to defend.

Free Download Demystifying the Sacred: Blasphemy and Violence from the French Revolution to Today (New Perspectives on the History of Liberalism and Freethought) by Eveline Bouwers, David Nash
English | September 20, 2022 | ISBN: 3110713020 | 313 pages | MOBI | 5.11 Mb
Demystifying the Sacred: Blasphemy and Violence from the French Revolution to Today offers a much-needed analysis of a subject that historians have largely ignored, yet that has considerable relevance for today's world: the powerful connection that exists between offences against the sacred and different forms of violence. Drawing on cases from revolutionary France to the Russia of Vladimir Putin, the international authors probe the nature and agency of local blasphemy accusations, the historical and legal framework in which they were expressed and the violence, both physical and symbolic, accompanying them. In doing so, the volume reveals how cultures of blasphemy, and related acts of heresy, apostasy and sacrilege, were a companion to or acted as a trigger for physical action but also a form of how violence was experienced. More generally, it shows the importance of religious sensibilities in modern society and the violent potential contained in criticism or ridicule of the sacred and secular alike.
