Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores two issues about design: The first, evaluation of arguments used in discussions about design, planning, policy proposals, a subject neglected by traditional logic presents proposals for their systematic assessment. The second is based on the insight that design arguments contain premises spanning the entire range of types of human knowledge, whose validation draws on all approaches to human inquiry (including but not limited to scientifi c method). A general education course using exposure to design tasks therefore would provide students with a better framework for exploring and understanding all these inquiry forms, and how they relate to one another.

Download or read book The Fog of Peace written by Gabrielle Rifkind and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions do not decide whom to destroy or to kill, whether to make peace or war; those decisions are the responsibility of individuals. This book argues that the most important aspect of conflict resolution is for antagonists to understand their opponents as individuals, their ambitions, their pains, the resentments that condition their thinking and the traumas they do not fully themselves grasp. Gabrielle Rifkind and Giandomenico Pico here present two very different experiences of international relations - Rifkind as a psychotherapist now immersed in the politics of the Middle East, and Picco as a career diplomat with a long and successful record as a negotiator at the UN. Should we talk to the enemy? What happens if the protagonists are nasty and brutish, tempting policy-makers to retaliate? How do nations find the capacity not to hit back, trapping themselves in endless cycles of violence?Presenting a unique combination of psychological theories, geopolitical realities and first-hand peace-making experience, this book sheds new light on some of the worst conflicts in the modern world and demonstrates, above all, how empathy can often be far more persuasive than the most fearsome weapons. By exploring the question of intervention versus non-intervention, and examining how the changing nature of warfare and technology has both armed the warmonger, whilst empowering the individual through social media, this is a highly topical, comprehensive overview on international diplomacy and the complexities of peace-making.
