Описание: What are the implications of philosophical pragmatism for international relations theory and foreign policy practice? According to John Ryder, -a foreign policy built on pragmatist principles is neither naive nor dangerous. In fact, it is very much what both the U.S. and the world are currently in need of.- Close observers of Barack Obama's foreign policy statements have also raised the possibility of a distinctly pragmatist approach to international relations. Absent from the three dominant theoretical perspectives in the field--realism, idealism and constructivism--is any mention of pragmatism, except in the very limited, instrumentalist sense of choosing appropriate foreign policy tools to achieve proposed policy objectives. The key commitments of any international relations approach in the pragmatist tradition could include a flexible approach to crafting policy ends, theory integrally related to practice, a concern for both the normative and explanatory dimensions of international relations research, and policy means treated as hypotheses for experimental testing. Following the example of classic pragmatists such as John Dewey and neo-pragmatists like Richard Rorty, international relations scholars and foreign policy practitioners would have to forgo grand theories, instead embracing a situationally-specific approach to understanding and addressing emerging global problems. Unfortunately, commentary on the relationship between philosophical pragmatism and international relations has been limited. The authors in Philosophical Pragmatism and International Relations remedies this lacuna by exploring ways in which philosophical pragmatism, both classic and contemporary, can inform international relations theory and foreign policy practice today.

Tackling TULIP will help Christians understand the errors of Calvinism and why this theological system should be rejected and refuted. This book includes a helpful investigation into the key passages that Calvinists use to defend their beliefs. Romans 9, Ephesians 1, and John 6 are examined in light of the Calvinistic interpretation and are not seen to teach what Calvinists assert. The theological errors that Calvinism presents are also exposed. Questions like "Do we have free will?" and "Did Christ die for everyone?" are answered in the affirmative by both church history and biblical revelation. Finally, the practical problems of Calvinism are explained. A belief in Calvinism eliminates the possibility for Christians to have assurance of salvation and tends to diminish the importance of holy living. Tackling TULIP will equip the body of Christ to defend against the erroneous theology of Calvinism.

Описание: "About Time" offers a delightful return to the world of time travel and light comedy that distinguished Jack Finney's all-time classic "Time and Again." The protagonists of these twelve stories are well-meaning but at odds with their surroundings and their lives. The time to which they escape through time travel doesn't always fulfill their expectations in the way they had hoped, but sometimes, they can still find their dreams."
