Author: John Rawls Publisher: Harvard University Press ISBN: 0674255755 Category : Philosophy Languages : en Pages : 684
Book Description
John Rawls’s work on justice has drawn more commentary and aroused wider attention than any other work in moral or political philosophy in the twentieth century. Rawls is the author of two major treatises, A Theory of Justice (1971) and Political Liberalism (1993); it is said that A Theory of Justice revived political philosophy in the English-speaking world. But before and after writing his great treatises Rawls produced a steady stream of essays. Some of these essays articulate views of justice and liberalism distinct from those found in the two books. They are important in and of themselves because of the deep issues about the nature of justice, moral reasoning, and liberalism they raise as well as for the light they shed on the evolution of Rawls’s views. Some of the articles tackle issues not addressed in either book. They help identify some of the paths open to liberal theorists of justice and some of the knotty problems which liberal theorists must seek to resolve. A complete collection of John Rawls’s essays is long overdue.

Book Description
Robert Lucas is one of the outstanding monetary theorists of the past hundred years. Along with Knut Wicksell, Irving Fisher, John Maynard Keynes, James Tobin, and Milton Friedman (his teacher), Lucas revolutionized our understanding of how money interacts with the real economy of production, consumption, and exchange. Lucas’s contributions are both methodological and substantive. Methodologically, he developed dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium models to analyze economic decision-makers operating through time in a complex, probabilistic environment. Substantively, he incorporated the quantity theory of money into these models and derived its implications for money growth, inflation, and interest rates in the long run. He also showed the different effects of anticipated and unanticipated changes in the stock of money on economic fluctuations, and helped to demonstrate that there was not a long-run trade-off between unemployment and inflation (the Phillips curve) that policy-makers could exploit. The twenty-one papers collected in this volume fall primarily into three categories: core monetary theory and public finance, asset pricing, and the real effects of monetary instability. Published between 1972 and 2007, they will inspire students and researchers who want to study the work of a master of economic modeling and to advance economics as a pure and applied science.
Author: Srinivasa Ramanujan Publisher: Cambridge University Press ISBN: 1107536510 Category : Mathematics Languages : en Pages : 393
Book Description
Originally published in 1927, this book presents the collected papers of the renowned Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920), with editorial contributions from G. H. Hardy (1877-1947). Detailed notes are incorporated throughout and appendices are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the works of Ramanujan and the history of mathematics.

Book Description
The Ricci flow is a hot topic at the forefront of mathematics research. This selection of papers on the Riemannian Ricci flow is intended both for the graduate student or researcher unfamiliar with the Ricci flow and for geometers already familiar to the Ricci flow.
Author: H. A. Lorentz Publisher: ISBN: 9789401522144 Category : Physics Languages : en Pages : 392
Book Description
This volume in its first part reproduces the treatises and papers wherein Professor H. A. Lorentz developed the electromagnetic theory of phenomena in moving systems up to the point achieved in the relativity theory of uniform translations. We have not included the article in the Encyclopaedie der mathematischen Wissenschaften, Vol. V, number I4, nor the book 'Theory of Electrons', for reasons given previously. The second part of the volume contains the work on the theory ot gravitation. In the early development of the theory the author lays stress on the hypothesis of the stagnant ether, and he so firmly believes in the validity of his formula for the ponderomotive force on electric charges, that he is even prepared to abandon the momentum conservation law (see p. 28). It was Max Abraham who in I903 reconciled Lorentz's formula for the force with the conservation law by interpreting the term at fault as the representation of electromagnetic momentum per unit volume of the field, thus meeting the criticism of Henri Poincare. This interpretation was readily taken over by Lorentz. Again, referring to the transformation formula tor the time variable, Professor Lorentz preferred to think 0/ 'local time' as a mathematical auxiliary. A dmitting and even stressing the impossibility of discrimin ating experimentally between local time and absolute time, he never relinquished the belief that the latter words might have a meaning after all.
Author: Alfred Tarski Publisher: Birkhäuser ISBN: 9783319953656 Category : Mathematics Languages : en Pages : 0
Book Description
Alfred Tarski was one of the two giants of the twentieth-century development of logic, along with Kurt Goedel. The four volumes of this collection contain all of Tarski's papers and abstracts published during his lifetime, as well as a comprehensive bibliography. Here will be found many of the works, spanning the period 1921 through 1979, which are the bedrock of contemporary areas of logic, whether in mathematics or philosophy. These areas include the theory of truth in formalized languages, decision methods and undecidable theories, foundations of geometry, set theory, and model theory, algebraic logic, and universal algebra.
Author: Franco Modigliani Publisher: National Geographic Books ISBN: 026251933X Category : Business & Economics Languages : en Pages : 0
Book Description
These two volumes bring together articles, commentaries, and excerpts by Nobel Prize-winning economist Franco Modigliani published from the late 1970s to 1989. The 11 essays collected in Volume 4 focus on money and inflation and on stabilization policies for growth and unemployment. The 21 essays in Volume 5 cover saving and wealth, deficits, the real effects of inflation, and finance.
Author: Roger Harrison Publisher: Jossey-Bass ISBN: Category : Business & Economics Languages : en Pages : 456
Book Description
Foreword by Edgar Schein Now, for the first time, the writings of this pioneer are gathered in one comprehensive volume. The Collected Papers of Roger Harrison brings the author's hard-to-find classic works together with new material written expressly for this collection. Designed for consultants, teachers, trainers, and students, the Collected Papers contains the intellectual legacy of the life Harrison describes in his autobiography, Consultant's Journey: A Dance of Work and Spirit. As a body of work, these writings offer a comprehensive history of the organization development profession, plus a radical new vision of its future as seen through the eyes of one of its leading practitioners.
