Daniel Gordon, "What is Academic Freedom?: A Century of Debate, 1915-Present"
English | ISBN: 0367511711 | 2022 | 168 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book explores the history of the debate, from 1915 to the present, about the meaning of academic freedom, particularly as concerns political activism on the college campus. The book introduces readers to the origins of the modern research university in the United States, the professionalization of the role of the university teacher, and the rise of alternative conceptions of academic freedom challenging the professional model and radicalizing the image of the university. Leading thinkers on the subject of academic freedom―Arthur Lovejoy, Angela Davis, Alexander Meiklejohn, Edward W. Said, among others―spring to life. What is the relationship between freedom of speech and academic freedom? Should communists be allowed to teach? What constitutes unacceptable political "indoctrination" in the classroom? What are the implications for academic freedom of creating Black Studies and Women's Studies departments? Do academic boycotts, such as those directed against Israel, violate the spirit of academic freedom? The book provides the context for these debates. Instead of opining as a judge, the author discloses the legal, philosophical, political, and semantic disagreements in each controversy. The book will appeal to readers across the social sciences and humanities with interests in scholarly freedom and academic life.

English | ISBN: 1943003300 | 2019 | 350 pages | AZW3, EPUB | 4 MB + 3 MB
Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff is a woman caught up in extraordinary times. She has been hectored, vilified, persecuted and prosecuted for the grave offense of telling the truth about Mohammed and his marriage to a very young child as related in Islamic sacred literature. Her case has exposed the grave danger to freedom of speech (and thus, freedom of thought itself) in Europe. She fought bravely in the legal arena through the Austrian courts and on to the European Court of Human Rights to defend her freedom (and by extension the rights of all Europeans), to freely voice her opinion. She lost.
Nature is not a place to live: What makes nature dangerous? by Emma William
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B4NTDCN2 | 205 pages | EPUB | 2.62 Mb
It is hypocritical to consider nature dangerous. We are a product of nature. Nature is not static. It is dynamic. When they are able to produce trillions of different organisms all from one source, over billions of years and ensure that they are able to live and reproduce successfully, we don't consider them dangerous. It is the dynamic of maturation that causes the constant changes. When we cannot deal with these changes, we call them dangerous. When we deal with nature successfully, we consider ourselves successful as living beings. But in some cases nature is a dangerous and uninhabitable place.

English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B4SG7HHH | 175 pages | EPUB | 5.79 Mb
