Elements in the Philosophy of Biology

Baedke J: The Organism

The Organism

Dans tout acte de gestion, chaque acteur d'une organisation, quelle qu'elle soit, doit pouvoir instinctivement estimer le degré de risque qu'il prend. Pour cela, il doit prendre conscience des dangers qui l'entourent. A partir de cette idée, l'auteur nous emmène dans la sphère de la gestion anticipative des risques. L'expérience de celui-ci est mise à profit et une méthodologie sur la recherche de la cause et de la responsabilité, qui a fait ses preuves, est présentée. Afin d'illustrer la démarche adoptée, bon nombre de cas concrets réels apportent cette crédibilité. Cette approche s'adresse donc à tous les secteurs d'activités privées et publiques dans un seul objectif : solutionner les difficultés et incidents rencontrés et prévenir pour optimiser vers un fonctionnement efficace et sécurisé. Dans ce contexte, chacun peut ainsi étoffer et enrichir ses compétences autour de la culture risque. L'ouvrage met l'accent sur l'importance du facteur humain dans tout organisme et ouvre la voie à une acculturation des risques où chaque individu peut se retrouver sur le plan professionnel mais également sur le plan personnel. A ce titre, l'auteur termine l'étude par la création d'une théorie de l'évolution de carrière qui permet à toute personne de se remettre en question qu'il soit dans un cadre personnel ou professionnel.

Gérer les risques, c'est anticiper les dangers et sans cesse se remettre en question

La Gestion des Risques

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

How Economists Use Natural Experiments to Decipher Our World

Daughters, Diplomats, and Death

A path to self-knowledge

Know Yourself

The first collection of critical writings on the work of the influential contemporary French artist Pierre Huyghe. Influenced by wide-ranging ideas from land art and institutional critique to experimental cinematic practices and narrative film, the groundbreaking work of Pierre Huyghe since the early 1990s has arguably, even indelibly, altered the landscape of contemporary art. The French artist works at the beguiling intersection of fiction and reality, representation and performance, spectacle and memory, chance and agency, living organisms and technological entities. As formats and discourses of cinema (be it Godard or Lumet) and architecture, (invented or existing) holidays and games, (puppet) theatre and opera, fairy tales and (travel) literature, museology and computer technology, life sciences and popular culture (like Manga comics or Disney movies) are renegotiated in Huyghe’s variegated projects, the methods and modalities of producing, exposing, and experiencing art, in turn, come under both critical scrutiny and allegorical speculation. The essays and interviews by preeminent scholars, critics, and curators, including Benjamin Buchloh, David Joselit, and Molly Nesbit, compiled in this volume trace the trajectory of Huyghe’s practice over the last three decades, from the artist’s earlier engagements with the built environment, the temporalities of cinema and television, the customs of social communities, and the volatile property relations in global media culture, to his most recent and much-discussed ecological redefinitions of the objects and sites of art. At the same time these texts and conversations ponder and gauge the far-reaching implications of Huyghe’s many seminal artworks for the history, theory, and ontology of art in the early twenty-first century.

Strikingly original and abundantly illustrated,&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity&nbsp;surveys the golden age of natural history art, exploring the alliance between scientists and artists that first revealed the astonishing diversity of life on Earth.With more than 330 color illustrations of surpassing beauty,&nbsp;this book reveals&nbsp;a story about art that's not in the art history books, and a story about science that's missing from histories of science. Here, such giants as Linnaeus, Buffon, Cuvier, Humboldt, and Darwin cross paths with superb artists, including Merian, Redouté, Audubon, and Haeckel, among many others.An essential visual companion to popular narratives like Andrea Wulf's&nbsp;The Invention of Nature&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jason Roberts's&nbsp;Every Living Thing, this volume provides a definitive archival record of the era that defined modern biology.Between 1700 and 1900, an art movement unveiled nature's great secret: the global diversity of life-forms. Centuries before the word "biodiversity" existed, naturalists began to glimpse the reality that lay behind Charles Darwin's lyrical evocation of nature's "endless forms most beautiful."The naturalists recruited artists to create a family album of Earth, with every picture a precise drawing of a species of plant or animal, and so science and art, for the first and last time, went exploring together.This art first appeared in vividly illustrated books that, in a world without photography or film, offered readers a vastly expanded vision of nature.&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity&nbsp;introduces the reader to the extraordinary men and women who created these books. They focused exquisite artistic skills on nature, traded in exotic seashells and butterflies, collected bird and monkey specimens in tropical rainforests, dredged strange invertebrates from the depths of the ocean, peered through magnifying lenses at insects, and dug prehistoric bones out of the earth.After sinking out of sight in the twentieth century, biodiversity art resurfaced in the twenty-first in myriad forms that reach millions of people on the Internet, as the natural history books in the world's great libraries were digitized and made available to all.Chronicling the only art movement that successfully aligned the goals of art and science, for the transcendent purpose of documenting and understanding the natural world,&nbsp;The Art of Biodiversity is a must-have for historians of science, collectors of botanical and zoological art, and anyone captivated by the enduring beauty of the living world.

Artists & Naturalists, 1700–1900

The Art of Biodiversity

How to guide and support societal changes driven by geopolitical turbulence, technological advances like AI, and the green energy transition. Steering Structural Change explores looming transformations that both advanced and developing economies face as rising geopolitical tensions, accelerating climate change, and advances in technology disrupt economic structures. These seismic factors demand a fundamental reconsideration of economic policies. Even though there is a general understanding of the policy measures and reforms needed at this juncture, the unequal economic effects and political economy obstacles that they entail can impede their implementation. Technological advances, such as digitalization, automation, and AI, will disrupt labor markets as productivity improvements enhance some occupations but obviate others. The clear aggregate benefits of technological progress will come with large and long-lasting adjustment costs. Uniquely captured in this edited collection, the current debate among experts and economists will help guide the design of effective policies to prepare workers, ease the process of reallocation, and ensure that the collective benefits are broadly shared.

Rethinking Government Policy to Support Fundamental Economic Transformations

Steering Structural Change

Xenophon

The Library of Alexandria

Have you ever wondered why some nations thrive through commerce and peace while others collapse under the crushing financial weight of endless conflict?

In Ways and Means, the legendary ancient Greek historian, philosopher, and military commander Xenophon delivers a profoundly pragmatic treatise on economic revitalization. Written during a period of severe financial crisis in Athens, this work represents a radical departure from the traditional ancient Greek mindset that viewed warfare and tribute as the primary methods of state enrichment. Instead, Xenophon proposes a bold, peaceful economic policy centered on innovation, infrastructure, and free enterprise.

Recognizing that a desperate population cannot maintain a stable democracy, Xenophon meticulously outlines a comprehensive recovery plan. He advocates for attracting foreign entrepreneurs and merchants to boost the local economy, modernizing the state's approach to maritime trade, and establishing publicly owned infrastructure to generate passive civic income. Most famously, he details a strategic plan to monopolize and expand the silver mines of Laurion, transforming a natural resource into an engine of limitless economic growth.

Far more than a simple historical document, Ways and Means is one of the earliest known texts on political economy. It challenges modern readers to reflect on the true drivers of wealth, the importance of welcoming foreign talent, and the undeniable profitability of peace. Whether you are a student of classical history, an entrepreneur, or an executive interested in the origins of economic strategy, this book provides invaluable lessons that have survived the test of time.

What You Will Discover in This Classic Economic Guide:The Foundations of Economic Recovery - Learn how an ancient superpower attempted to pivot from the brink of bankruptcy to sustainable financial independence without relying on war.
The Power of Trade and Immigration - Discover Xenophon's progressive arguments for welcoming foreign merchants, reducing trade barriers, and building commercial infrastructure to attract global wealth.
Strategies for Resource Management - Explore the detailed proposals for maximizing natural resources, including the famous blueprint for the Athenian silver mines.
Peace as a Profitable Enterprise - Understand the philosophical and practical arguments that peace and stable commerce are far more lucrative than imperial conquest.
Timeless Financial Wisdom - Delve into early concepts of public investment, risk management, and civic welfare that formed the bedrock of Western economic thought.



Step into the brilliant mind of one of antiquity's greatest pragmatic thinkers. Discover the timeless financial and political strategies of Ways and Means and begin your journey into the ancient roots of modern economics today.

Ways and Means: The Classic Guide to Economics, Prosperity, and Statecraft - Ancient Strategies for Wealth Creation and Financial Recovery

The remarkable story of the global movement championing the idea that evidence, not opinions, should guide our decisions Today, more and more people around the globe are using scientific evidence to figure out what works—in health, government and business as well as conservation, schools and parenting. This wasn’t always the case. This book tells the story of the evidence revolution—a worldwide movement that promotes evidence-based thinking—and shows how it can help us all, especially in an age of alternative facts. For many years, most medical advice was based on doctors’ opinions and conventional wisdom, not solid science. Helen Pearson describes how evidence-based medicine swept the world in the 1990s—becoming the predominant form of medicine practiced today—and how the idea that evidence should guide decisions is quietly transforming a host of other fields as well. Do police patrols reduce crime? Do performance appraisals boost job performance? Do welfare programs help the poor? Do smaller classes aid learning? Do smartphones harm teenagers? At a time when science is under attack and questionable claims run rampant, Pearson underscores the importance of evidence in all facets of our lives, empowering each of us to sift fact from falsehood and misinformation from the truth. Essential reading for the rational-minded, Beyond Belief is an engaging portrait of the mavericks, visionaries and rebels who share the simple belief that decisions based on evidence make the world a better place.

How Evidence Shows What Really Works
