The book is concerned with economic problems and policy issues that arise from the activities of firms. The authors reject the traditional micro-economic analysis of market structure in favour of studying conduct and performance in the context of macro-economic policy and the environIndustrial organization (Economic theory)IndustriesGreat BritainIndustriesEuropean Economic Community countriesIndustriesUnited StatesIndustrial organization (Economic theory)IndustriesIndustriesIndustries338.7/0941George Kenneth D(Kenneth Desmond),1937-116177Joll Caroline116178Lynk E.

Norms, Reasons and and Complex Proceduralism in Discourse Morality -- Conclusion: Complex Proceduralism and Public Understanding -- References -- Index."What does it mean to say that a person has been educated? This question forms the basis of global education policy debates; from the way governments establish funding for national school systems, to the way children are treated in the classroom. Should there be a common ethical core to such polices? What kind of educational process should aboriginal groups in Labrador, Canada, have a moral right to, and should this process be different from what children in New York's boroughs have claim to? Should a school-based curriculum, such as the UK's National Curriculum, make well-being a central concern or are there other ethical dimensions to be addressed? Christopher Martin explores these questions and argues that the best way to consider them is to view education as a matter of public moral understanding. He brings together traditions of thought central to philosophy of education, such as R.S. Peters, and connects this tradition to the moral philosophy and critical theory of Jurgen Habermas, whose theory of Discourse Morality has previously been given little attention in education circles."--Bloomsbury Publishing.EducationAims and objectivesEducationMoral and ethical aspectsMoral & social purpose of educationEducationAims and objectives.EducationMoral and ethical aspects.370.11/4EDU040000bisacshMartin Christopher1978 September 13-UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9911143307403321UNINA
