Wallach shows how Plato?s theory, while a radical critique of the conventional ethical and political practice of his own era, can be seen as having the potential for contributing to democratic discourse about ethics and politics today.The author argues that Plato articulates and ";solves"; his Socratic Problem in his various dialogues in different but potentially complementary ways. The book effectively extracts Plato from the straightjacket of Platonism and from the interpretive perspectives of the past fifty years?principally those of Karl Popper, Leo Strauss, Hannah Arendt, M. I. Finley, Jacques Derrida, and Gregory Vlastos.The author?s distinctive approach for understanding Plato?and, he argues, for the history of political theory in general?can inform contemporary theorizing about democracy, opening pathways for criticizing democracy on behalf of virtue, justice, and democracy itself. 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aReason 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 610 $a0-271-02075-x. 610 $aGregory Vlastos. 610 $aHannah Arendt. 610 $aJacques Derrida. 610 $aJohn R.

Little attention has been paid to the difficult measurement problems underlying analysis of the labor market. Labor Statistics Measurement Issues helps to fill this gap by exploring key theoretical and practical issues in the measurement of employment, wages, and workplace practices. Some of the chapters in this volume explore the conceptual issues of what is needed, what is known, or what can be learned from existing data, and what needs have not been met by available data sources. Others make innovative uses of existing data to analyze these topics. Also included are papers examining how answers to important questions are affected by alternative measures used and how these can be reconciled. This important and useful book will find a large audience among labor economists and consumers of labor statistics. 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$vv. 60. 606 $aLabor productivity$zUnited States$xStatistical methods$vCongresses 606 $aLabor supply$zUnited States$xStatistical methods$vCongresses 606 $aUnemployed$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aWork measurement$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aLabor productivity$xStatistical methods 615 0$aLabor supply$xStatistical methods 615 0$aUnemployed 615 0$aWork measurement 676 $a330 s 676 $a331.1/07/24 701 $aHaltiwanger$b John C$0140766 701 $aManser$b Marilyn$0145549 701 $aTopel$b Robert H$0145544 712 02$aConference on Research in Income and Wealth. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967487503321 996 $aLabor statistics measurement issues$94355997 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05531nam 2200721Ia 450 001 9911019490203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786610197255 010 $a9781280197253 010 $a1280197250 010 $a9781444305531 010 $a1444305530 010 $a9781405144704 010 $a140514470X 035 $a(CKB)1000000000342024 035 $a(EBL)233050 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000148555 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11150606 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000148555 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10224628 035 $a(PQKB)11265874 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC233050 035 $a(OCoLC)61266383 035 $a(PPN)204402336 035 $a(Perlego)2759735 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000342024 100 $a20040714d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aEnvironmental toxicity testing /$fedited by K.

Past emphasis has been primarily on analytical approaches to the detection of specific, targeted contaminants, thus allowing chemical characterisation. However, toxicity testing or biological assessment is necessary for ecotoxicological evaluation, and this offers marked benefits and advantages that complement chemical analysis. Key issues to be addressed include identification of pertinent tests, reproducibility and robustness of these tests, and cost considerations.This b 410 0$aSheffield Analytical Chemistry Series 606 $aEnvironmental toxicology 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 615 0$aEnvironmental toxicology. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 676 $a615.902 701 $aThompson$b K.
