  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Paradox

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisHistory reveals countless attempts by great minds to solve lifeâs paradoxes. But what if these attempts miss the point? What if paradox is life?Contrary to the supposedly sublime linear logic that underpins our prevalent modes of theoretical and empirical enquiry, in this fascinating book, organizational anthropologist Tom Vine charts the pervasiveness of paradox across the academy: from arithmetic to zoology. In so doing, he reflects on the concept of paradox as a widespread existential âpatternâ, a pattern which holds significant metatheoretical and pedagogical potential. Paradoxes, he argues, are not inconveniences or âfault lines in our common-sense worldâ but are coded into our very existence. Paradoxes thus present their own vital logics that shape our lives: they thwart moral and ideological uniformity; they even out subjective experience between âthe havesâ and âthe have notsâ; and they shed light on the opaque concepts of consciousness and agency.This book will appeal to anybody with a curious mind, particularly scholars and students with an interest in one or more of the following: complexity theory, critical pedagogies, ethnography, nonlinear dynamics, organization theory, and systems theory.Trade Review‘In this lively, eclectic and consistently stimulating book, Tom Vine identifies the remarkable prevalence of paradox in human life and offers a spirited defence of embracing its peculiar logic. Against the conventional wisdom of means-ends reasoning and calculative rationality, Vine argues that paradox reveals fractures in our common-sense that we would do well to explore and exacerbate rather than eradicate or resolve. Taking an ethnographic, transdisciplinary, wide angle view, Vine’s primary focus is the lived experience of paradox: our counterintuitive tendency to embrace contrary positions and the unfathomable longing to act against our own best interests. In a world that is being re-contoured by rapid advances in artificial intelligence and information technology, Tom Vine’s book is an ardent appeal to the humanising power of paradox.’Jill Marsden, Professor of Literature and Philosophy, University of Bolton, UK‘This book represents the active and loving embrace of paradox in art, society, organization, nature and ontology but it also (paradoxically) describes the relationship between author and textual material as grappling, staggering, discombobulating and thorny. Take paradox away from the thinker and you have the tame professor yet (paradoxically) to outwit paradox would be accepting a Faustian pact. Paradox is a vague rule of sociology wherein (paradoxically) there is no universally accepted rule book on anything. Vine has produced a text that is both broad and deep, where we are allowed to see paradox at work, everywhere and at every time. It forcibly opens our eyes just as the reader might want to blink and slink back into a less-pressing, logical and linear comfortableness. It is to be highly commended for its smooth disruptiveness.’Gibson Burrell, Professor of Organization Theory, University of Manchester, UK ‘In this important and wide-ranging book Tom Vine makes a strong case for the unique human capacity to entertain one thing and its opposite at the same time. He demonstrates how this is not a result of flawed thinking, but is crucial for exploring complex experience. Vine shows us how paradoxical thinking manifests in the full range of human activity; from art to science, and from pedagogy to the ethics involved in navigating between competing goods.’Christopher Mowles, Professor of Complexity and Management, University of Hertfordshire, UK 'This book is both stimulatingly provocative and deeply questioning of much of the literature on the bureaucratic phenomenon. Tom Vine advances a Deleuzian perspective on bureaucracy as an ‘emergent and immanent force’ in late modernism. Repetitive and recurrent ‘differences’ within and across its operational planes require life-skills in their positive resolution. In presenting his arguments he draws from a wide range of alternative perspectives.'Ray Loveridge, Professor Emeritus, Aston University, UK'Tom Vine's erudite and engagingly personal reexamination of bureaucracy offers compelling alternatives to the familiar debate on 'post-bureaucracy' and the pejorative caricatures of bureaucracy in popular management literature. Rather than arguing for or against bureaucracy, Dr Vine's unique approach is to ask how people in organisations experience, navigate and make sense of this phenomenon. He combines autoethnography, literary criticism and expansive scholarship to develop a phenomenology of bureaucracy. Written with refreshing style and a colourful wit, his book offers invaluable insights for the critical study of contemporary organisations.'Dr Samuel Mansell, University of St Andrews, UKTable of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Moral Discourse in the History of Economic

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisProviding an account of the development of economic thought, this book explores the extent to which economic ideas are rooted in moral values. Adopting an approach rooted in pragmatism', the work explores key questions which have been considered by economists since the classical political economists. These include: what degree of priority ought to be granted to property rights among all individual liberties; whether uncertainties in economic life justify investing political authorities with the power to stabilize business cycles; whether it is better to trust entrepreneurial initiatives to resolve societal dilemmas or to centralize policy-making in the hands of a benevolent government. The chapters argue that economic thought has evolved from an emphasis on sympathy (as defined by Adam Smith) and that there has more recently been a rediscovery of the significance of sympathy reinvented as fair reciprocity in the wake of the emergence of behavioural economics and its coTable of ContentsCHAPTER 1 Introduction CHAPTER 2 Classical Political Economy: The Age of “Sympathy”? CHAPTER 3 Neoclassical Economics: Economics as Pure Science? CHAPTER 4 The Political Economy of “Market Failures” CHAPTER 5 The Birth of Macroeconomics CHAPTER 6 The Political Economy of Government Failures CHAPTER 7 Neoliberalism and Its Discontents CHAPTER 8 The Way Forward

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Foundations for a Humanitarian Economy

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe modern global economy and discipline of economics place mathematical calculation above human concern. However, a re-reading of Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy can positively highlight the contrast in values and spirit of the early medieval European world with our own scientific age.This book discusses the historical and cultural contexts that influenced Boethius' writing and explores how Consolation offers a radically different understanding of economic concepts: wealth from inner happiness and virtues, poverty from hoarding outer possessions, self-sufficiency in the greater whole, enlightenment through misfortune, and development as fruition from the Good. These economic considerations resonate with a range of heterodox economic perspectives, such as Ecological and Buddhist Economics. The fundamental revaluations gained through Boethius pose a critique of mainstream neoclassical and neoliberal economics: to consumerism, avarice, growth and technologTable of Contents1.
