Kenneth Seeskin takes a close look at the problems Maimonides faced and the sources from which he drew. He argues that Maimonides meant exactly what he said: the world was created by a free act of God so that the existence of everything other than God is contingent. In religious terms, existence is a gift. In order to reach this conclusion, Seeskin examines Maimonides' view of God, miracles, the limits of human knowledge, and the claims of astronomy to be a science. Clearly written and closely argued, Maimonides on the Origin of the World takes up questions of perennial interest.CreationPhilosophy, AncientPhilosophy, MedievalJewish philosophyCreation.Philosophy, Ancient.Philosophy, Medieval.Jewish philosophy.213/.092Seeskin Kenneth1947-1000565UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457616203321Maimonides on the origin of the world2441339UNINA03666oam 2200517 450 991079449530332120230901141104.01-00-302307-X1-000-25793-21-003-02307-X1-000-25787-8(CKB)4100000011494519(MiAaPQ)EBC6369834(OCoLC)1162388359(OCoLC-P)1162388359(FlBoTFG)9781003023074(EXLCZ)99410000001149451920200624h20212021 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBuen vivir as an alternative to sustainable development lessons from Ecuador /Natasha ChassagneAbingdon, Oxon ;New York, NY :Routledge,2021.©20211 online resource (193 pages)Routledge studies in sustainable development0-367-63630-1 0-367-90143-9 Introduction -- The Brief History of Development and Sustainable Development -- Towards an Alternative to Development: The Growing Legitimacy of Post-Development -- Sustaining the 'Good Life': Buen Vivir as an Alternative to Sustainable Development -- Understandings of Buen Vivir in Ecuador's Cotacachi Canton -- Living Well and Buen Vivir: Practice vs. Policy? -- Challenging the Good Life -- Rethinking Sustainability: Making the Global Align with the Local -- Implementing Buen Vivir: The Practical Pathway to Transformation -- New Horizons for Socio-Eco Wellbeing: Concluding Remarks."This book explores how communities understand and practice Buen Vivir, an alternative to the current model of sustainable development. Until recently, the concept of Buen Vivir has only been loosely articulated by practising communities and in progressive policy in countries like Ecuador. What it actually means has been unclear, and in the case of policy, contradictory. As such there has been a lack of understanding about exactly what Buen Vivir entails, its core principles and how to put it into practice. This book, based on extensive theoretical and field research of Buen Vivir as an alternative to sustainable development, fills that gap and offers a concrete way forward. Buen Vivir as an Alternative to Sustainable Development uses an ethnographic study in the Cotacachi County of Ecuador's highlands communities to explore how communities understand and practice Buen Vivir. Combining that with what we already know about the concept theoretically, this book then develops a framework for Buen Vivir with 17 principles for practice. Exploring Buen Vivir's evolution from its indigenous origins, academic interpretations and implications for development policy; to its role in endogenous, community-led change, this book will be of interest to policymakers, and development professionals. It will also be of great value to activists, students and scholars of sustainability and development seeking grassroots social and environmental change"--Provided by publisher.Routledge studies in sustainable development.15.85 history of America(NL-LeOCL)07761190XbclSustainable developmentEcuadorEcuadorgtt15.85 history of America.Sustainable development338.986607Chassagne Natasha1557005OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910794495303321Buen vivir as an alternative to sustainable development3820214UNINA04102nam 22007335 450 991076845620332120240321231534.09783031349300303134930X10.1007/978-3-031-34930-0(MiAaPQ)EBC30965600(Au-PeEL)EBL30965600(OCoLC)1410592634(DE-He213)978-3-031-34930-0(CKB)29026797600041(EXLCZ)992902679760004120231122d2024 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDynamic Environments Testing, Volume 7 Proceedings of the 41st IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics 2023 /edited by Julie Harvie1st ed. 2024.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2024.1 online resource (162 pages)Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series,2191-5652Print version: Harvie, Julie Dynamic Environments Testing, Volume 7 Cham : Springer,c2023 Designing Accelerated Vibration Tests using Model-Based Equivalent Damage Prediction -- , Producibility of Time Domain Test Specification of Resonant Plate Shock Test -- , A Method to Expand Sparse Set Acceleration Data to Full Set Strain Data -- , Using Modal Acceleration to Compare Two Environments of an Aerospace Component -- , Equivalencing of Sine-Sweep and Random Vibration Specification with Considerations of Nonlinear Statistics -- , Evaluation of a Multiaxis Shock Fixture Concept -- , Operational Analysis of a Structure with Intermittent Impact -- , Finite Element Simulation of Electromagnetic Shaker for Environmental Test -- , Rapid, Approximate Multi-Axis Vibration Testing -- , Operational Replication of Strain Responses during MIMO Random Control Tests -- , Using Cell Phone Videos to Diagnose Machinery Faults -- , Influence of Shaker Limitations on the Success of MIMO Environment Reconstruction -- , A MIMO Time Waveform Replication Control Implementation -- , Demonstration of Output Weighting in MIMO Control -- , Shaker Capability Estimation Through Experimental Dynamic Substructuring.Dynamic Environments Testing, Volume 7: Proceedings of the 41st IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2023, the seventh volume of ten from the Conference brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering.
