Sommario/riassunto |
|
In recent years, evolutionary psychology and behavioral genetics have emerged as prominent theoretical perspectives within the social |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sciences. Yet despite broad levels of commonality between the disciplines-including an emphasis on adaptation, evolved mechanisms that guide behavior, and consequences of mismatch between these mechanisms and novel environments-studies that apply these perspectives on social behavior to organizations remain relatively rare. The Biological Foundations of Organizational Behavior brings together contributors who shed light on the potential that behavioral genetics and evolutionary psychology offer for studies of organizational behavior. In addition to examining the extant literature integrating these disciplines and organizational behavior, the book reconsiders a wide range of topics through the lens of biology within organizational behavior, including decision making, leadership and hierarchy, goals and collective action, and individual difference. Contributions also explore new areas of potential application and provide a critical assessment of the challenges that lie ahead. With accessible insights for scholars and practitioners, The Biological Foundations of Organizational Behavior marks a promising step forward in what is increasingly perceived to be an underdeveloped area of organizational behavior. |

Sommario/riassunto |

This book offers a systematic and radical introduction to the Buddhist roots of Ptajala-yoga, or the Yoga system of Patajali. By examining each of 195 aphorisms (stras) of theYogastra anddiscussingtheYogabhya, it shows that traditional and popular views on Ptajala-yoga obscure its true nature. The book argues that Patajali's Yoga contains elements rooted in both orthodoxandheterodox philosophical traditions, including Skhya, Jaina and Buddhist thought. With a fresh translation and a detailed commentary ontheYogastra, the author unearthshow |

several of the terms, concepts and doctrinesin Patajali's Yoga can be traced to Buddhism, particularly the Abhidharma Buddhism of Vasubandhu and the early Yogcra of Asaga.The work presents theYogastraof Patajali as a synthesis of two perspectives: the metaphysical perspective of Skhya and the empirical-psychological perspective of Buddhism.Based on a holistic understanding of Yoga, the study explores key themes of the text, such as meditative absorption, means,supernormal powers, isolation,Buddhist conceptions of meditation and theinterplay between Skhya and Buddhist approaches to suffering and emancipation. It further highlights several new findings and clarifications on textual interpretation and discrepancies. An important intervention in Indian and Buddhist philosophy, this bookopens upa new way of looking at the Yoga of Patajali in the light of Buddhism beyond standard approaches andwill greatly interest scholars and researchers of Buddhist studies, Yoga studies, Indian philosophy, philosophy in general, literature, religion and comparative studies, Indian and South Asian Studies and the history of ideas. |
