Values of Happiness
Author: Iza Kavedzija
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780986132575
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
How people conceive of happiness reveals much about who they are and the values they hold dear. Drawing on ethnographic insights from diverse field sites around the world, this book offers a unique window onto the ways in which people grapple with fundamental questions about how to live and what it means to be human. Developing a distinctly anthropological approach concerned less with gauging how happy people are than with how happiness figures as an idea, mood, and motive in everyday life, the book explores how people strive to live well within challenging or even hostile circumstances. The contributors explore how happiness intersects with dominant social values as well as an array of aims and aspirations that are potentially conflicting, demonstrating that not every kind of happiness is seen as a worthwhile aim or evaluated in positive moral terms. In tracing this link between different conceptions of happiness and their evaluations, the book engages some of the most fundamental questions concerning human happiness: What is it and how is it achieved? Is happiness everywhere a paramount value or aim in life? How does it relate to other ideas of the good? What role does happiness play in orienting peoples' desires and life choices? Taking these questions seriously, the book draws together considerations of meaning, values, and affect, while recognizing the diversity of human ends.

Christian Ethical Implications of the Presence of the Kingdom as God’s Performative Action in the Light of Speech Act Theory
Author: Anna Cho
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643802919
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This book presents a novel Biblical ethical hermeneutic approach that emerges from an understanding of the presence of the kingdom of God in the Biblical text. The approach is predicated upon the use of speech act theory (abbreviated as SAT) in relation to `kingdom language' in the Biblical text. The approach shows how the notion of kingdom language, as God's divine activity, is elicited in the contemporary Christian's life by allowing it to operate beyond the world of the Biblical text. In other words, this approach establishes a Biblical-ethical hermeneutic bridge between the text (and its context) and the context of contemporary readers of the text. The alternative linguistic epistemology in SAT considers the principle of the kingdom of God in the past (locution level), the present (illocutionary level) and the future (perlocutionary level). The dynamic equivalences of the past, present and future of the kingdom of God based on an SAT approach to the Biblical text can inform Christian ethical theory and moral action in the present world. It can also provide a new moral sensibility in relation to God's sovereignty and the responsibility of Christians in contemporary society.

A New Kind of Dance
Author: Amina Salihu
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781503134256
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Thrown in at the deep end of the campaign process in Nigeria's 2011 elections, the Author was without a 'manual' on how to organise women or a campaign nor one on how to support a spouse running for office. This book is a narrative of the effort to bring years of civil society learning to bear on the field of practical politics. It takes direction from the perspective of organising and working with women. It takes a keen view of the role of family, the changing role of women in politics and their growing awareness about the importance of that role. The lessons show that economic growth for women can only happen when they organise politically. As the title indicates, it is a new kind of dance where, yes, women still dance but they dictate the tune, when to dance, what kind of dance and with whom.

Investigating the Determinants of Household Welfare in Cote D'Ivoire
Author: Paul Glewwe
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
To predict the effect of economic policies on household welfare, one should first understand which characteristics of households and of the localities in which they live, enable them to raise their welfare levels. This paper outlines a simple procedure for investigating the determinants of household welfare and demonstrates its use with recent data from Cote d'Ivoire. Despite the relative simplicity, much information is obtained from its use on cross-sectional survey data. Results specific to Cote d'Ivoire include : high (low) returns to education in urban (rural) areas; high benefits from cocoa land relative to coffee land; a significant impact on economic welfare from the availability of medical services, and no apparent benefits from agricultural extension services.
