Horn’s writing style - unabashedly frank, smart and even funny at times - serves as the perfect vehicle for her two central theses: People tell stories about dead Jews that make them feel better about themselves and Jews must erase some aspect of themselves in order to gain public respect in non-Jewish societies. The 230-page collection of essays is the most astute, sensitive and honest book I have read about antisemitism. Horn, a novelist whose stories center on Jewish characters and subjects, turns essayist in her newest tome as she reflects on the world’s fascination with Jews who have died and its collective shrug when it comes to Jewish life. “But I want my children, and your children, to know.” “I wish I did not feel the need to do this,” Horn writes in her introduction. Get The Jewish Chronicle Weekly Edition by email and never miss our top stories That was the right decision, as “disturbed” is a much more accurate way than “hate” to describe how a (Jewish) reader will react to Horn’s essays that, in the author’s words, cover “the endless upspoken ways in which the popular obsession with dead Jews, even in its most apparently benign and civic-minded forms, is a profound affront to human dignity.”

I watched her immerse herself in the voluminous archives of Carl Jung. Then my cover appeared-with Deirdre’s name misspelled. When she provided a lovely one, my publisher called several times, carefully checking everything from which year Deirdre’s Samuel Beckett biography had received the National Book Award to the proper spelling of both Beckett and De Beauvoir. Mary was a feisty former Village Voice columnist and city editor, a former head of WNYC Radio stations, a longtime ally of Edward Koch, and Deirdre’s best friend.Īt that point, Deirdre was finishing her biography of Anaïs Nin, but since I was using her Simone de Beauvoir biography, I hesitantly asked if she would consider a blurb. Working on a biography of Gloria Steinem, I met Mary Perot Nichols, who had also worked on a book about Steinem. Books brought us together, which seems right. Keywords: moral theory, ethics, „epistemological ethics” conceptual innovation, value, man, person, Roberto Poli. In the light of this new debate, Roberto Poli's perspective on the need to return to “ontological neglect”, “methodological primitivism” and “ignorance of our own roots” continues our present research and interrogations and reveals new coordinates of knowledge and understanding. The entire content of this concept is a theoretical link between epistemic and ethical justification, in terms of mind–body ratio, brought into a unified approach of humanity and knowledge. This idea is in relation with the concept of “epistemological ethics”, that we propose to the scientific community for validation. However, this method requires ethical conceptual clarification on which to build the architecture of knowledge. The meaning of ethical values has been extended and gained various linguistic forms and understandings, basically because the value dimension is not founded on an ethical methodology. In relation to ethics, current theories and guidelines are often mentioned, which, in fact, shows the lack of an epistemological founded ethical apparatus, in the absence of which, moral judgment loses its prime reason, namely valuing the ethical man – as a person. It was found that at present not a single EA framework exists that suits the target SEAS approach entirely but the open group standard TOGAF comes closest. Alongside regulatory compliance, it should also mandate explicit goals of standardization, innovation, business transformation, and IT alignment at all levels. The SEAS approach establishes that the prevailing new technologies, evolving social realities and changing market dynamics have made the case for railway safety management more complex. In the technique, a set of selected capabilities based on the proposed railway SMS goals and system requirements are evaluated from legal, business, and information systems perspectives. We call this system Safety Enterprise Architecture System (SEAS). It also presents a comparative analysis of EA frameworks for the implementation of a railway SMS. This paper finds an extended set of railway Safety Management System (SMS) goals to manage safety compliance, technological complexities, operational uncertainties and business objectives in a holistic perspective using an Enterprise Architecture (EA) approach. He describes VW's rise from "the people's car" during the Nazi era to one of Germany's most prestigious and important global brands, touted for being "green." He paints vivid portraits of Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Piech and chief executive Martin Winterkorn, arguing that the corporate culture they fostered drove employees, working feverishly in pursuit of impossible sales targets, to illegal methods. In Faster, Higher, Farther, Jack Ewing rips the lid off the conspiracy. By early 2017, VW had settled with American regulators and car owners for $20 billion, with additional lawsuits still looming. A few months later, the EPA disclosed that Volkswagen had installed software in 11 million cars that deceived emissions-testing mechanisms. In mid-2015, Volkswagen proudly reached its goal of surpassing Toyota as the world's largest automaker. Similarly, identity crisis is reflected through an estranged mode of role-playing: Wilde’s characters impress the reader as performing too much to have a real-life identity. In representing the social malady of exaggerated self-sacrifice, Wilde adopts the satirizing strategy which maintains the sense of the illusion evoked by the inset tale while simultaneously estranging the outer/inner story connection by dint of nonrecognition. The discussion focuses on how Wilde employs the metatheatrical devices of the-play-within-the-play and role-playing to treat the social problems of self-immolating altruism and identity crisis respectively. In this paper, it is argued that Wilde incorporates metadrama into his 1888 fairy tale collection, The Happy Prince and Other Tales. Yeats as “a man of action, a born dramatist.” Although people did not recognize him as a serious playwright until the 1890s, Wilde had managed to find other outlets for his theatrical passion, for example in writing fiction.
