In Reconstructing Individualism, James Albrecht argues that our conceptions of individualism have remained trapped within the assumptions of classic liberalism. He traces an alternative genealogy of individualist ethics in four major American thinkers—Ralph Waldo Emerson, William James, John Dewey, and Ralph Ellison. These writers’ shared commitments to pluralism (metaphysical and cultural), experimentalism, and a melioristic stance toward value and reform led them to describe the self as inherently relational. Accordingly, they articulate models of selfhood that are socially engaged and ethically responsible, and they argue that a reconceived—or, in Dewey’s term, “reconstructed”—individualism is not merely compatible with but necessary to democratic community. Conceiving selfhood and community as interrelated processes, they call for an ongoing reform of social conditions so as to educate and liberate individuality, and, conversely, they affirm the essential role individuality plays in vitalizing communal efforts at reform.American philosophy.Individualism in literatureIndividualismUnited StatesHistoryLiterature and societyUnited StatesPhilosophy, American19th centuryPhilosophy, American20th centuryPragmatism in literatureElectronic books.Individualism in literature.IndividualismHistory.Literature and societyPhilosophy, AmericanPhilosophy, AmericanPragmatism in literature.141/.40973Albrecht James M928221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463564203321Reconstructing individualism2086002UNINA04231nam 22007215 450 991025406920332120231004225452.03-319-28106-210.1007/978-3-319-28106-3(CKB)3710000000653658(SSID)ssj0001666100(PQKBManifestationID)16454490(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001666100(PQKBWorkID)15000836(PQKB)11117593(DE-He213)978-3-319-28106-3(MiAaPQ)EBC6314909(MiAaPQ)EBC5590665(Au-PeEL)EBL5590665(OCoLC)946988824(PPN)193444380(EXLCZ)99371000000065365820160413d2016 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtccrUniversity of Toronto Mathematics Competition (2001–2015) /by Edward J.

Problems cover areas of single-variable differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, advanced algebra, analytic geometry, combinatorics, basic group theory, and number theory. The problems of the competitions are given in chronological order as presented to the students. The solutions appear in subsequent chapters according to subject matter. Appendices recall some background material and list the names of students who did well. The University of Toronto Undergraduate Competition was founded to provide additional competition experience for undergraduates preparing for the Putnam competition, and is particularly useful for the freshman or sophomore undergraduate. Lecturers, instructors, and coaches for mathematics competitions will find this presentation useful. Many of the problems are of intermediate difficulty and relate to the first two years of the undergraduate curriculum. The problems presented may be particularly useful for regular class assignments. Moreover, this text contains problems that lie outside the regular syllabus and may interest students who are eager to learn beyond the classroom.Problem Books in Mathematics,0941-3502Functions of real variablesGeometryGroup theoryDifferential equationsReal Functionshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12171Geometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006Group Theory and Generalizationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11078Ordinary Differential Equationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12147Functions of real variables.Geometry.Group theory.Differential equations.Real Functions.Geometry.Group Theory and Generalizations.Ordinary Differential Equations.510.79Barbeau Edward1938-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut67749MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254069203321University of Toronto mathematics competition (2001–2015)1523714UNINA
