Thinking Forward: Learning To Conceptualize Economic Vision
Albert's work...offers valuable signposts for those who are not satisfied to contemplate a dismal future for much of humanity [Noam Chomsky ] A highly accessible and unorthodox approach to thinking about economics. It subverts the elitist and codified world of academic economics by empowering the reader with the tools needed to conceptualize an economy based on progressive and humane values. It challenges the idea - so prevalent in Western capitalism - that the best we can hope for is capitalism with a happy face. And it challenges us to imagine what could be: a society based on justice, solidarity, and vision. .

Evaluating sex offenders under sexually violent predator laws: How might mental health professionals conceptualize the notion of volitional impairment? ... from: Aggression and Violent Behavior]
This digital document is a journal article from Aggression and Violent Behavior, published by Elsevier in 2005. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: This paper examines the significance of the Supreme Court's Hendricks and Crane decisions, with focus given to how mental health professionals may conceptualize the notion of volitional impairment. The Hendricks decision authorized postsentence civil commitment for sex offenders having a mental abnormality or personality disorder, rendering them likely to engage in future acts of sexual violence. In the Supreme Court's majority opinion, Justice Thomas implied that the Kansas Act was legitimized by limiting the class of offenders eligible for this specialized form of commitment to those who are ''unable to control'' their dangerousness. In Crane, the Court ruled that while the Hendricks decision does not require that a sex offender be completely unable to control behavior, it does require proof of serious difficulty in controlling conduct. In evaluating the meaning of this decision for mental health professionals, this paper notes the decline of volitional impairment standards in the insanity defense, summarizes case law regarding sexual predators and volitional impairment, and further reviews the empirical and theoretical literatures exploring the notion of volitional impairment. .

About the King's Choice to Build His Palace Right On Top of the Dunghill: ((or, how to conceptualize Jewishly))
ISRAEL; the people, the nation, the religion While remaining acutely aware of the shortcomings of both Heidegger and Derrida, the writer nevertheless uses insights and terminology from their discourse in the service of exposing the historical and thought trends of hegemonic proportions which have had the effect of deracinating Judaism from ISRAEL. The writer makes the claim that a “critical/spelunkative” analysis of what went into that final and anonymous redaction of the Babylonian Talmud points the way towards a retrieval of Judaism’s “burning living center.” The writer further contends that such a retrieval can have the effect of “returning” [teshuba] Judaism back to ISRAEL. .

How biologists conceptualize genes: an empirical study [An article from: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biol & Biomed Sci]
This digital document is a journal article from Studies in History and Philosophy of Biol & Biomed Sci, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: Philosophers and historians of biology have argued that genes are conceptualized differently in different fields of biology and that these differences influence both the conduct of research and the interpretation of research by audiences outside the field in which the research was conducted. In this paper we report the results of a questionnaire study of how genes are conceptualized by biological scientists at the University of Sydney, Australia. The results provide tentative support for some hypotheses about conceptual differences between different fields of biological research. .
