Dispute System Design : Preventing, Managing, and Resolving Conflict by Lisa Blomgren Amsler, Janet K. Martinez English | 2020 | ISBN: 0804771766 | 537 Pages | ePUB | 3.07 MB  Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms by Dale Crane;ASA Editorial Team; English | 2020 | ISBN: 164425056X | 832 pages | True (PDF EPUB) | 11.03 MB  Descartes and the Last Scholastics By Ariew, Roger 1999 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 0801436036 | PDF | 16 MB The ongoing renaissance in Descartes studies has been characterized by an attempt to understand the philosopher's texts against his own intellectual background. Roger Ariew here argues that Cartesian philosophy should be regarded as it was in Descartes's own day--as a reaction against, as well as an indebtedness to, scholastic philosophy. His book illuminates Cartesian philosophy by analyzing debates between Descartes and contemporary schoolmen and surveying controversies arising in its first reception. The volume touches upon many topics and themes shared by Cartesian and late scholastic philosophy: matter and form; infinity, place, time, void, and motion; the substance of the heavens; the object or subject of metaphysics; principles of metaphysics (being and ideas) and transcendentals (for example, unity, quantity, principle of individuation, truth and falsity). Part I exhibits the differences and similarities among the doctrines of Descartes and those of Jesuits and other scholastics in seventeenth-century France. The contrasts Descartes drew between his philosophy and that of others are the subject of Part II, which also examines some arguments in which he was involved and details the continued controversy caused by Cartesianism in the second half of the seventeenth century.  Democracy as Death: The Moral Order of Anti-Liberal Politics in South Africa By Jason Hickel 2015 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 0520284232 | PDF | 8 MB [center]  Democracy and Its Institutions By André Béteille 2012 | 214 Pages | ISBN: 0198080964 | PDF | 3 MB This volume reflects Beteille's engagement with the conception of formal, legal, political institutions (Parliament, Judiciary, and political parties), and practices in specific domains of public and political life- rule of law, constitutional morality, the opposition-without which democracies cannot function or survive. The focus on institutions highlights the divergence between ideal and practice in the operation of democracy. The author contends that the institutions of civil society require an effective constitutional framework for their proper functioning, and that such a framework suffers when social movements set themselves continuously against the State's authority.The relationship between government and opposition acquires great value and significance in a democracy, and this issue has been examined in detail. The volume not only points to what remains neglected in the study of democracy but also offers an understanding of the ground on which democracies rest.  Dark Emu: Aboriginal Australia and the Birth of Agriculture By Bruce Pascoe 2018 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 1921248017 | EPUB | 6 MB Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for precolonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing - behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Gerritsen and Gammage in their latest books support this premise but Pascoe takes this further and challenges the hunter-gatherer tag as a convenient lie. Almost all the evidence comes from the records and diaries of the Australian explorers, impeccable sources.
