Selected Publications[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Research in Progress. The Order of Things. The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences (French: Les Mots et les choses: Une archéologie des sciences humaines) is a 1966 book by the French philosopher Michel Foucault.
It was translated into English and published by Pantheon Books in 1970. (Foucault had preferred L'Ordre des Choses for the original French title, but changed the title because it had been used by two structuralist works published immediately prior to Foucault's). Foucault endeavours to excavate the origins of the human sciences, particularly but not exclusively psychology and sociology. The book opens with an extended discussion of Diego Velázquez's painting Las Meninas and its complex arrangement of sightlines, hiddenness, and appearance. Then it develops its central claim: that all periods of history have possessed certain underlying epistemological assumptions that determined what was acceptable as, for example, scientific discourse.

Richard Sennett - Sociology Books. Together: The Rituals, Pleasures, and Politics of Cooperation Living with people who differ—racially, ethnically, religiously, or economically—is the most urgent challenge facing civil society today. We tend socially to avoid engaging with people unlike ourselves, and modern politics encourages the politics of the tribe rather than of the city. In this thought-provoking book, Richard Sennett discusses why this has happened and what might be done about it. Sennett contends that cooperation is a craft, and the foundations for skillful cooperation lie in learning to listen well and discuss rather than debate. In Together he explores how people can cooperate online, on street corners, in schools, at work, and in local politics. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2012 The Foreigner Richard Sennett has spent an intellectual lifetime exploring how humans live in cities. The Craftsman The Craftsman names a basic human impulse: the desire to do a job well for its own sake.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb. He criticized the risk management methods used by the finance industry and warned about financial crises, subsequently profiting from the late-2000s financial crisis.[18] [19] He advocates what he calls a "black swan robust" society, meaning a society that can withstand difficult-to-predict events.[10] He proposes "antifragility" in systems, that is, an ability to benefit and grow from a certain class of random events, errors, and volatility[20][21] as well as "convex tinkering" as a method of scientific discovery, by which he means that option-like experimentation outperforms directed research.[22] Family background and education[edit] Taleb in his student days Taleb was born in Amioun, Lebanon to Minerva Ghosn and Najib Taleb, a physician and an oncologist and a researcher in anthropology.
Both sides of his family were politically prominent in the Lebanese Greek Orthodox community. Finance career[edit] Academic career[edit] Writing career[edit] He warned of pseudostability in Syria:[52] ON COMPLEXITY. 1. Why is "What is complexity" a question not so easily answered? For some time we have been being told that there is a "new science" called complexity. Universities and other research institutions have programs in "complexity research" and journals carry this word in their title. What is complexity? What does it mean to be "complex"? If we turn to science where words are carefully defined and have more precise meanings we find that, in this case, things are not much better and may even be worse! Too high a mouth to brain ratio Tremendous hype Computer "hacking" Too much journalism He also points out the lack of a "unified theory" of complexity.
It is also worth noting that nowhere in his essay does he mention the definition which will be given here and which, to my satisfaction, completely clears up the confusion. Later, in his book, The End of Science, he adds some more fuel to the fire. 2. This may seem silly, but the entire real world is complex! 2.1.2 `The Newtonian paradigm. Leon Battista Alberti. Leon Battista Alberti[1] (February 14, 1404 – April 25, 1472) was an Italian humanist author, artist, architect, poet, priest, linguist, philosopher and cryptographer; he epitomised the Renaissance Man.
Although he is often characterized as an "architect" exclusively, as James Beck has observed,[2] "to single out one of Leon Battista's 'fields' over others as somehow functionally independent and self-sufficient is of no help at all to any effort to characterize Alberti's extensive explorations in the fine arts. " Alberti's life was described in Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects.
Life[edit] Leon Battista Alberti was born in 1404 in Genoa to a wealthy Florentine father who had been exiled from his own city, but who was allowed to return in 1428. Alberti was gifted in many directions. His first major architectural commission was in 1446 for the facade of the Rucellai Palace in Florence. Publications[edit] Architectural works[edit] Pienza[edit] Kevin A. Lynch. Kevin A. Lynch Kevin Andrew Lynch (1918 Chicago, Illinois - 1984 Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts) was an American urban planner and author. His most influential books include The Image of the City (1960) and What Time is This Place? (1972). Biography[edit] Lynch provided seminal contributions to the field of city planning through empirical research on how individuals perceive and navigate the urban landscape. Parallel to his academic work, Lynch practiced planning and urban design in partnership with Stephen Carr, with whom he founded Carr Lynch Associates in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The Image of the City[edit] Lynch's most famous work, The Image of the City published in 1960, is the result of a five-year study on how observers take in information of the city. In the same book Lynch also coined the words "imageability" and "wayfinding". Selected writings[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Christopher Alexander. Christopher Alexander Christopher Wolfgang Alexander (born October 4, 1936 in Vienna, Austria) is an architect noted for his theories about design, and for more than 200 building projects in California, Japan, Mexico and around the world. Reasoning that users know more about the buildings they need than any architect could, he produced and validated (in collaboration with Sarah Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein) a "pattern language" designed to empower anyone to design and build at any scale. Alexander is often overlooked by texts in the history and theory of architecture because his work intentionally disregards contemporary architectural discourse.[1] As such, Alexander is widely considered to occupy a place outside the discipline, the discourse, and the practice of Architecture.
[citation needed] In 1958, he moved from England to the United States, living and teaching in Berkeley, California from 1963. He is professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.
