This practical guide, written from different perspectives and applying to all library types, explains how to create healthy library workplaces. While library work is often imbued with a strong sense of purpose and mission, it's still work-messy, rewarding, complicated. This book explores the five factors that influence both workplace engagement and job satisfaction for library workers: · culture and work environment · leadership · workload · recognition · meaning Learn how to critically examine these five factors and understand meaningful ways to positively implement them. The expert contributors to this volume represent many types of libraries and points of view, including BIPOC writers and those from other marginalized groups as well as librarians from small and large libraries, rural and urban libraries, and academic, public, and school libraries. This book is written for everyone in a library-leaders, librarians, and other staff can all contribute to making their library a better workplace. Readers will appreciate the hands-on guidance for improving not only the organizational functioning of the library, but the human functioning as well.

Five Factors That Improve Employee Engagement and Satisfaction

Creating Healthy Library Workplaces

Semiotics, Communication and Cognition

There are many theories of meaning. Most of them are descriptive and do not answer the question of what meaning is and how and why it arises. This book answers these questions. To paraphrase Leibniz's famous phrase, it asks why there is meaning rather than nothing. Its originality lies in showing that meaning comes from the senses, and so it emphasises the bodiliness of semiosis, making use of advances in the cognitive sciences, in a unified theoretical framework in which meaning emerges from the physical world. This all-encompassing vision has been made possible because the author - who is not an isolated person but a collective - has a long history of interdisciplinary work.&nbsp;Groupe µ is a leading research team based at the University of Liège (Belgium). For over fifty years, it has been at the forefront of transdisciplinary work in rhetoric, semiotics and the theory of communication, whether linguistic or visual. From Rhétorique Générale (1970), a classic translated into some twenty languages and hailed by the journal Sciences humaines as one of the most important books of the twentieth century, to Nouveau traité du signe visuel (2026), which provides a general grammar of the image, whether figurative or not, its collectively authored works have all represented decisive advances for these disciplines.

The Sources of Meaning

Principia Semiotica

It is widely acknowledged that appeals to tolerance are not as persuasive as they once were. Some argue that such calls simply reinforce the permissiveness that plagues our society. Others argue that tolerance does not go far enough and that positive recognition of differences should be our aim. To these, tolerance is judgmental and insulting. In response to these critiques, some seek to recover the lost foundations of tolerance as a virtue of coexistence without reciprocal affirmation. As An Augustinian Essay on Toleration shows, many of the problems affecting contemporary tolerance discourse were already present in the early modern world, where these lost foundations are typically sought. This explains the need for this more radical project of recovery that draws from Augustine and the Augustinian tradition. Like other classical authors, Augustine treats tolerance as a virtue needed in the face of adversity and evil. Unlike these other authors, however, Augustine offers deep philosophical reflections on evil that provide relevant reasons for toleration. This book demonstrates that Augustine's views on evil, history, personhood, conflict, and hope are consistent with a constructive Augustinian view of tolerance. The book discusses the nature of tolerance as a virtue, its place as a political practice, and questions of toleration that arise in relation to intermediate associations.

Poetry in the Age of Disenchantment

Cosmic Connections

'A gem of a book, serious and clever yet funny and playful' Financial Times 'Professor of philosophy and a public intellectual for the internet age, Callard shows how Socrates can inform the way we live our lives - from romance to politics' Guardian Socrates has been hiding in plain sight. We call him the father of Western philosophy, but what exactly are his philosophical views? He is famous for his humility, but readers often find him arrogant and condescending. We parrot his claim that 'the unexamined life is not worth living,' yet take no steps to live examined ones. We know that he was tried, convicted, and executed for 'corrupting the youth,' but freely assign Socratic dialogues to today's youths, to introduce them to philosophy. We've lost sight of what made him so dangerous. In Open Socrates, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard recovers the radical energy at the centre of Socrates' thought and shows why it is still the way to a good life. Callard draws our attention to Socrates' startling discovery that we don't know how to ask ourselves the most important questions- about how we should live, and how we might change. Before a person even has a chance to reflect, their bodily desires or the forces of social conformity have already answered on their behalf. To ask the most important questions, we need help. Callard argues that the true ambition of the famous "Socratic method" is to reveal what one human being can be to another. You can use another person in many ways-for survival, for pleasure, for comfort- but you are engaging them to the fullest when you call on them to help answer your questions and challenge your answers. Here Callard shows that Socrates' method allows us to make progress in thinking about how to manage romantic love, how to confront one's own death, and how to approach politics. In the process, she gives us nothing less than a new ethics to live by.

Biblical Hope for Anxiety, Depression, Burnout, and the Emotions No One Talks About

Heal Your Hurting Mind

This volume is comprised of contributions from internationally respected scholars dedicated to the theme of "The Future of Hermeneutics." These contributions are gathered from research originally presented at the annual International Hermeneutics Symposium in 2023 and 2024. The topic means to draw attention not only to the relevance of research in hermeneutics for our future, but also current developments in hermeneutics that will shape research in the field to come. Hermeneutics originally taught us how to approach texts, authors, and the act of reading itself. Yet today, when experience, existence, language, meaning, and interpretation are challenged by shifting cultural, technological, and ethical contexts, hermeneutics calls for renewal, while staying true to its original calling to be an open and receptive practice of understanding. By attending to the dialogical nature of texts, the fragility of truth, the material circumstances of nature and culture, and the responsibilities of interpretation, hermeneutics offers new perspectives for engaging with the world, aiming to preserve the bonds between word and world, between experience, interpretation, and life. This volume, then, represents research completed in connection with the International Hermeneutics Symposium. The contributions to the symposium will continue to be published, even though from this year onwards in a different, updated form, no longer as a yearbook, but as a volume in a new series: 
 Post-Kantian European Philosophy
 (P-KEP).

Contributions to the International Hermeneutics Symposium

The Future of Hermeneutics

Routledge Studies in the History of Economics

This book examines the medieval debate on the role of money and credit in the Islamic and Western Christian worlds.Starting from Aristotle's vision of the ethical and egalitarian use of wealth, fundamental to both Islamic and Christian thinkers, it highlights how the two visions of money and credit share a strong ethical-religious foundation. However, thinking on monetary and credit matters in the Western Christian and Islamic worlds has developed differently, partly due to the different evolution of the two economic systems. In Islamic economic thought, particular attention has been paid to the prohibition of paying interest on loans, the main basis for which lies in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This has had interesting repercussions both on the development of the socio-economic system and on theoretical thinking. In the Western Christian world, too, this prohibition was based on ethical and religious grounds. Taking an Aristotelian perspective, the writings of the Thomists and the Franciscan and Augustinian schools reiterated the need for an ethical assessment of credit and interest. This resulted in a significant contribution to the process of secularization of economic science and valuable theoretical support for important institutional developments.This book will be of great interest to readers of Islamic and Christian ethics, the history of money and, more generally, the history of economic thought.

Essential Essays for Reckoning with and Reimagining Faith

Braving the Truth

How AI is shaped by Western religious culture and universal existential aspirations—and why we think we need it in the first place. Artificial Religion argues that to fully understand our puzzling relation to AI, we must first look at the religious and existential background of our thinking about machines. Mapping some surprising connections between our history of thought about machines and Western religious narratives to political issues and existential human needs and aspirations, Mark Coeckelbergh offers a better understanding of our relationship to machines and why we think we need them at all. The book is unique in not just discussing the myth of AI in terms of its technical limitations and the power of Big Tech but also revealing the deeper cultural “grammar” of AI—that is, the religious patterns of thinking and existential aspirations that are often not visible but still haunt Western thinking and shape its technological culture. Moreover, this is done in a way that sheds critical light on the power of AI.

Wie lässt sich das Land Israel aus katholischer Perspektive theologisch denken - und was können jüdische Sichtweisen dazu beitragen? Julia Kuhn entwickelt&nbsp;die Grundlagen einer katholischen 'Theologie des Landes', die jüdische Perspektiven ernst nimmt. In Rückgriff auf kulturwissenschaftliche Ansätze wie den 'spatial turn' und die Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie nimmt sie grundlegende kirchliche Dokumente seit&nbsp;Nostra aetate, jüdische Deutungen des Landes und Staates Israel sowie Fragen nach dem Verhältnis religiöser und politischer Dimensionen als Ausgangspunkt, um neue Horizonte im&nbsp;jüdisch-katholischen Dialog zu eröffnen.
