Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age focuses on what people say and think about God rather than on arguments about God's existence. It advances a theological method or step-by-step approach to explore and reframe personal convictions about God and the worldviews shaped by those convictions. Since a moral God is more likely to foster a moral life this method integrates an ethical check to ensure that understandings of God and their associated worldviews are validly moral. The proposed method builds on the work of twentieth-century theologian Gordon Kaufman during the Kantian phase of his work. It anticipates a person-like God who hears prayers loves without end and comforts in times of hardship. To accommodate today’s pluralistic and globalized world the ethical check integrated in the method is a widely collaborative and vetted global ethic the Parliament of the World’s Religions Declaration Towards a Global Ethic. This volume of constructive philosophical theology is written for seminary students educators clergy study groups and anyone interested in delving more deeply and systematically into understandings of God whether their own or those of others.

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán engages with how best to look upon and respond to change arguing that this debate is an important arena for negotiating local belonging and a force of transformation in its own right. For residents of Chunchucmil a historic rural community in Yucatán Mexico history is anything but straightforward. Living in what is both a defunct 19th-century hacienda estate and a vibrant Catholic pilgrimage site Chunchucmileños reckon past present and future in radically different ways. For example while some use the aging estate buildings to weave a history of economic decline and push for revitalization by hotel developers others highlight the growing fame of the Virgin of the Rosary in the attached church and vow to defend the site from developer interference. By exploring how past and future are channeled through changing built environments landscapes sacred relics and legal documents this ethnographic study details how the politics of change provide Chunchucmileños with a common language for debating commitments to place and each another in the present. Against Western notions of ‘History’ as a relatively coherent account of change the book suggests we reframe it as an ongoing performance that is always fractured democratic and morally tinged. | Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Ethical Transformations for a Sustainable Future Peace and Policy

Ethical Transformations for a Sustainable Future Peace and Policy

It has become increasingly apparent that humanity's complex social political and economic systems are incompatible with the finite capacity of the Earth to replenish resources and absorb wastes. If the planet is to continue to be habitable for the myriad web of other creatures that make life possible humans must transform their systems so that they are aligned with natural systems. One thing is sure it will not be Nature's laws the delicate interdependence that characterizes Earth's ecosystems that change. The change must begin within each person and from there permeate throughout our social political and economic structures. The contributors to this volume believe that such transformations are urgently needed and possible and they offer specific examples. They suggest solutions that call for new perspectives in our ethics beliefs traditions economy business gender relations education and technology. They show that human beings have the power to implement changes in all natural and social environments. The chapters in this book have been organized around three keywords: Reconnecting Reframing and Rethinking. The contributors argue that we need to reconnect with the Earth and nature as well as with each other and parts of ourselves that we have ignored for too long. We need to reframe the way in which people prioritize choices in the economy the way we do business and pursue development; and we need to rethink the mission of education and the roles of technology. | Ethical Transformations for a Sustainable Future Peace and Policy

Curriculum Histories in Place in Person in Practice The Louisiana State University Curriculum Theory Project

Curriculum Histories in Place in Person in Practice The Louisiana State University Curriculum Theory Project

This book situates the Curriculum Theory Project at Louisiana State University within a larger historical framework of curriculum work examining the practices which have sustained this type of curricular vitality over the lifetime of the field’s existence. Divided into seven parts the authors illuminate seven practices which have sustained the scholarship graduate programs mentorship and networking that have been critical to maintaining a web of international relationships. This exploration and coming together of intergenerational stories reveals a more complete and nuanced narrative of the development of curriculum theory over the last 60 years. Crucially the project exemplifies the continuing resilience of curriculum theory despite ongoing neo-liberal aspirations to reframe education as a business. Reflecting upon the lived experiences and articulated memories of those who have participated in the project and analysis of documents collected over its 25-year history it considers curriculum history(ies) writ large through and from this lens of practice. As such it opens up fresh insights for cultivating the vitality and vigor of curriculum theory more broadly on an international scale and with a view to future directions for the field. It will appeal to both new and experienced scholars working across education foundations urban education philosophy of education and higher education and researchers from across history sociology anthropology ethnic studies and gender studies. | Curriculum Histories in Place in Person in Practice The Louisiana State University Curriculum Theory Project

Maximum Government Maximum Governance Reframing India’s Macroeconomic Discourse

Maximum Government Maximum Governance Reframing India’s Macroeconomic Discourse

Austerity fiscal consolidation fiscal discipline and fiscal deficit targets have become the buzzwords of contemporary macroeconomic policy. By tracing the history of macroeconomic schools of thought Maximum Government Maximum Governance explores the origins essence shortcomings and deception of mainstream neoliberal macroeconomics. Arguing that economies are financially constrained neoliberal macro­economics dislodged full employment as the target of policy replacing it with a low and stable inflation target. Monetary policy under the control of an independent central bank became the primary instrument to assist free and globalized markets to propel economies towards full employment. How­ever the global financial crisis of 2008 and rising inequalities of income and wealth in the last decade within and across economies has led to rise of nationalist-populist leaders in many parts of the world. Although neoliberal economics has been put under the scanner by these leaders their actions seem reactionary and without a coherent understanding of alternative schools of economic thought. An alternative based on sound economic reasoning and institutional realities is required to challenge neoliberal and arbitrary populist policies. Based on an introductory analysis of Modern Money Theory (MMT) this book seeks to present an alternative viewpoint on macroeconomics and macroeconomic policy to address the challenges of economic growth un­employment and inequality. While adherents of MMT are convinced of its robustness the challenge is to reframe macroeconomic discourse which must essentially reject the notion that an economy is financially constrained and instead turn the spotlight on real resource and governance constraints.
