Structured Paternalism and the Landscape of Choice -- Notes -- IndexTo what extent should government be permitted to intervene in personal choices? In grappling with this question, liberal theory seeks to balance individual liberty with the advancement of collective goals such as equality. Too often, however, society's obligation to provide meaningful opportunities is overshadowed by its commitment to personal freedom. Tough Choices charts a middle course between freedom-oriented anti-interventionism and equality-oriented social welfare, presenting a way to structure choices that equalize opportunities while protecting the freedom of individuals to choose among them. Drawing on insights from behavioral economics, psychology, and educational theory, Sigal Ben-Porath makes the case for structured paternalism, which is based on the understanding that state intervention is often inevitable, and that therefore theorists and policymakers must focus on the extent to which it can productively be applied, as well as on the forms it should take in different social domains. Ben-Porath explores how structured paternalism can play a role in providing equal opportunities for individual choice in an array of personal and social contexts, including the intimate lives of adults, parent-child relationships, school choice, and intercultural relations. Tough Choices demonstrates how structured paternalism can inform more egalitarian social policies, ones that acknowledge personal, social, and cultural differences as well as the challenges all individuals may face when they make a choice.DemocracyPhilosophyPaternalismPolitical aspectsCivil rightsSocial valuesPolitics and cultureFreedom of expressionElectronic books.DemocracyPhilosophy.PaternalismPolitical aspects.Civil rights.Social values.Politics and culture.Freedom of expression.320.01/9Ben-Porath Sigal R.1967-1034135MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459474103321Tough choices2473624UNINA01036nas 2200373 c 450 991033074740332120260218110054.02523-6326(CKB)4100000008702800(DE-101)1220918296(DE-599)ZDB3044517-6(DE-599)3044517-6(EXLCZ)99410000000870280020201106a19929999 |y |spaur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierIngeniería industrialrevista académica de la Facultad de Ingeniería Industrial de la Universidad de LimaLimaUniversidad de Lima[1992]-Online-RessourceGesehen am 06.11.20201025-9929 Zeitschriftgnd-content6206240355DE-1010355JOURNAL9910330747403321Ingeniería industrial2183233UNINA03801nam 22007455 450 991029860830332120260810164027.01-4939-2665-910.1007/978-1-4939-2665-7(CKB)3710000000403982(EBL)2094708(SSID)ssj0001500932(PQKBManifestationID)11852692(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001500932(PQKBWorkID)11521913(PQKB)10335683(DE-He213)978-1-4939-2665-7(MiAaPQ)EBC2094708(PPN)185486118(EXLCZ)99371000000040398220150428d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrIgnitability and Explosibility of Gases and Vapors /by Tingguang Ma1st ed. 2015.New York, NY :Springer New York :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (230 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4939-2664-0 Includes bibliographical references.A historical review -- Classical flammability theories -- Combustion fundamentals -- Thermal balance methods -- Ignitability, flammability and explosibility -- Operations within Flammability Diagrams -- Applications on Fuel Streams (Type II problems) -- Applications in Compartment Fires (Type I problem) -- Summary and conclusions.The book provides a systematic view on flammability and a collection of solved engineering problems in the fields of dilution and purge, mine gas safety, clean burning safety and gas suppression modeling. For the first time, fundamental principles of energy conservation are used to develop theoretical flammability diagrams and are then explored to understand various safety-related mixing problems. This provides the basis for a fully-analytical solution to any flammability problem. Instead of the traditional view that flammability is a fundamental material property, here flammability is discovered to be a result of the explosibility of air and the ignitability of fuel, or a process property. By exploring the more fundamental concepts of explosibility and ignitability, the safety targets of dilution and purge can be better defined and utilized for guiding safe operations in process safety. This book provides various engineering approaches to mixture flammability, benefiting not only the safety students, but also field operators, as a useful resource for the safe handling of flammable gases and liquids. It will be useful to anyone who worries about the ignition potential of a flammable mixture.  .Chemistry, TechnicalChemicalsSafety measuresThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeatTransmissionMass transferIndustrial ChemistryChemical SafetyEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass TransferThermodynamicsChemistry, Technical.ChemicalsSafety measures.Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.HeatTransmission.Mass transfer.Industrial Chemistry.Chemical Safety.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.Thermodynamics.536.754604.7621.4021660Ma Tingguangauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut979430BOOK9910298608303321Ignitability and Explosibility of Gases and Vapors2232960UNINA
