THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF POSITIVISM; 2. THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL CHALLENGES OF INSTRUMENTALISM AND IDEALISM; 3. CRITICAL REALISM-A WAY AHEAD; NOTES; REFERENCES CITEDThis book explores the question of epistemology, or theory of knowledge, and its impact upon how we view and do missions in today's world.What must a new convert know or believe? How do they know? How can we translate and communicate Christian teachings interculturally without distorting the message? How should we do missions in an anti-colonial, postmodern era characterized by religious relativism and accusations of Christian imperialism?In struggling with these questions, Paul Hiebert focuses on the epistemological foundations that underlay them. He examines three specific theories of knowleChristian mission and modern culture.MissionsTheoryPhilosophy and religionKnowledge, Theory of (Religion)Critical realismMissionsTheory.Philosophy and religion.Knowledge, Theory of (Religion)Critical realism.266/.001Hiebert Paul G.1932-2007.1534585MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782375103321The missiological implications of epistemological shifts3800567UNINA04806nam 22006735 450 991029863960332120200701173114.03-662-44823-810.1007/978-3-662-44823-6(CKB)3710000000268370(EBL)1965967(OCoLC)894895179(SSID)ssj0001372331(PQKBManifestationID)11824336(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001372331(PQKBWorkID)11301657(PQKB)11014843(MiAaPQ)EBC1965967(DE-He213)978-3-662-44823-6(PPN)182094685(EXLCZ)99371000000026837020141021d2014 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrNanoparticles Workhorses of Nanoscience /edited by Celso de Mello Donegá1st ed. 2014.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (303 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-662-44822-X Includes bibliographical references at the end of eah chapters and index.The Nanoscience Paradigm: “Size Matters!” -- Size effects on semiconductor nanoparticles -- Metal nanoparticles for microscopy and spectroscopy -- Nanoporous materials and confined liquids -- Supported nanoparticles -- The challenge of colloidal nanoparticle synthesis -- Electron microscopy techniques -- Scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy -- Electron paramagnetic resonance based spectroscopic techniques -- Solution NMR toolbox for colloidal nanoparticles.This book can be roughly divided into three parts: fundamental physico-chemical and physical principles of Nanoscience, chemistry and synthesis of nanoparticles, and techniques to study nanoparticles.  The first chapter is concerned with the origin of the size dependence of the properties of nanomaterials, explaining it in terms of two fundamental nanoscale effects. This chapter also serves as a general introduction to the book, briefly addressing the definition and classification of nanomaterials and the techniques used to fabricate and study them. Chapter 2 lays out the theoretical framework within which to understand size effects on the properties of semiconductor nanocrystals, with particular emphasis on the quantum confinement effect. The optical properties of metal nanoparticles and metal nanostructures (periodic lattices) are discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 is devoted to nanoporous materials, treating in detail their synthesis, structure and functional properties, as well as the physical properties of liquids confined in nanopores. The preparation methods, characterization techniques, and applications of supported nanoparticles are covered in Chapter 5. The sixth Chapter presents the essential physical-chemical concepts needed to understand the preparation of colloidal inorganic nanoparticles, and the remarkable degree of control that has been achieved over their composition, size, shape and surface. The last four Chapters are dedicated to a few selected characterization techniques that are very valuable tools to study nanoparticles. Chapter 7 concentrates on electron microscopy techniques, while Chapter 8 focuses on scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) based spectroscopic techniques and their application to nanoparticles are explored in Chapter 9. Finally, Chapter 10 shows how solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques can be used to unravel the surface chemistry of colloidal nanoparticles.NanotechnologyMaterials scienceOptical materialsElectronicsMaterialsNanotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000Characterization and Evaluation of Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000Optical and Electronic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000Nanotechnology.Materials science.Optical materials.ElectronicsMaterials.Nanotechnology.Characterization and Evaluation of Materials.Optical and Electronic Materials.620.11620.11295620.11297620115de Mello Donegá Celsoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298639603321Nanoparticles2912694UNINA
