Legitimacy and the Politics of the Knowable (RLE Social Theory) (Paperback): Roger Holmes Legitimacy and the Politics of the Knowable (RLE Social Theory) (Paperback)

R1,354 Discovery Miles 13 540 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Roger Holme's work in social and industrial psychology is widely respected. The theme of this first collection of his essays is the relationship of the individual with the formal, value-laden group on the one hand and the scientifically known and the philosophically asserted on the other. Roger Holmes looks at the connexions between these two important relationships and considers them in terms of the interaction between the nature of society and the nature of the knowable. The areas covered include the derivation of social classes, the nature of morale and the emergence of the professions and the trade unions. Subjects relating to the theory of knowledge include the nature of cross-cultural data, the relationship between empiricism and psychoanalysis, and Marxism and the nature of groups. The author's main theoretical influences throughout have been psychoanalysis, which is treated sympathetically but critically, and Piaget; these influences are reflected in the main preoccupations of these essays.

An engaging history of studio furniture, Speaking of Furniture: Conversations with 14 American Masters is a fresh, interesting, and in-depth examination of the modus operandi of 14 accomplished-and diverse-furniture makers. The colourful, informative study includes expository conversations with James Krenov, Wendell Castle, Jere Osgood, Judy Kensley McKie, David Ebner, Richard Scott Newman, Hank Gilpin, Alphonse Mattia, John Dunnigan, Wendy Maruyama, James Schriber, Timothy S. Philbrick, Michael Hurwitz, and Thomas Hucker. The insightful interviews illuminate how these creative and gifted craftspeople arrived professionally and what their craft means to them individually. In his interpretive and elucidatory Foreword, Edward S. Cooke, Jr. maps out and gives the background on the parameters of the studio furniture world. Author and furniture maker Roger Holmes offers an insider's perspective on the art and craft of producing exquisite contemporary furniture in his conversational Introduction and maintains, "Art or craft, this is very personal work." This elegant presentation skilfully sheds light on the thought processes and techniques of a celebrated and exceptional gathering of studio furniture makers who are as unique as they are stellar. As sculptor and furniture designer Wendell Castle remarks, 'What I admired was that...fine art and craft were the same thing.'

The news came at 4: 29 a.m. My father had just died at the age of 102. Then came the real shock. This man, who always kept his family at a poverty level and who never earned more than $4,000 in any year, had secretly accumulated an estate of two million dollars. The bulk of this was left to a university for scholarships. My being virtually disinherited was the final rejection in a lifetime full of rejections. How does one survive and surmount any rejection? My long emotional journey ultimately led me to read again my father's amazingly detailed personal diary that he had kept for over eighty years. I discovered that the writings of Benjamin Franklin had enormous influence on him from a very early age. He carried Ben's ideas on food, family, and finances to exaggerated extremes, becoming a true and miserable miser, living like a pauper. His life paralleled Ben's life in many uncanny ways, even to the final act of disinheriting his only son. Within this book are some clues and guidelines to dealing with life's hurts and disappointments, whether they are major crises or just small annoyances. First, we have to find ways to understand the situation. Second, we must accept the situation as it is, and go on from there. And finally, peace can only come when we forgive the people involved. This three-stage process, though very difficult, can truly bring about healing. "Thank you for sharing your story on how you overcame and learned to Forgive. Keep On, Keeping On Life's not fair but God is good Look at your accomplishments." Pastor Robert H. Schuller, Crystal Cathedral "I think you're a hero-a brave and honorable man." Jane Berentson, Senior Editor, Worth "I feel proud to know you, and toknow that you have persevered in wrestling down this mystery so that it wouldn't have to be an unknown which would haunt you for all the rest of your days." Dr. Paul G. Watermulder, Senior Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Burlingame, California
