Organizational Theory and Behavior Case Study

David Clark is the vice president of global marketing; he’s satisfied with his job and performs well at work. He is able to keep up with all the updates, reply to numerous messages and coordinate well with others. He’s also neutral about organizational citizenship behavior and does not come out with voluntary positive exposure to others or put in any extra effort beyond his job description.

Irreverent Essays on Geographers , 2007

Three dozen essays on highly visible and emerging geographers which illustrate what dumb and thoughtless things they write, and a lot more. The discipline, one can easily conclude, deserves the poor reputation it has, even when concentrating on its most "illustrious" stars.

How to Think Critically and Ignite Understanding: The Embodied and Experiential Turn in the Training of Critical Thinking The philosophy and teaching of critical thinking have played a central role in Icelandic academic philosophy since the establishment of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Iceland in 1972. Páll Skúlason’s article (1987) which explores the possibility of teaching critical thinking, marks a significant starting point. To provide clarity and elucidate the primary features of this ­ approach to critical thinking, we distinguish three traditions of critical thinking. Firstly, there is the tradition of critical thinking as a rational mode of thought and logical argumentation. Secondly, we find the tradition of social critical thinking, often associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory. Thirdly, we introduce a more recent approach of embodied critical thinking, based in phenomenological, pragmatist, hermeneutical, feminist thinking and the turn to embodiment in the cognitive sciences. In an international research and training project to which we belong our aim extends beyond merely answering whether critical thinking can be taught, as Skúlason did. We endeavor to address how critical thinking can be more effectively cultivated using methods grounded in embodied and experiential thinking. We discuss the theoretical foundations of this approach, drawing from ­ phenomenological and pragmatic philosophies, as well as the methodologies that have been developed based on these foundations.

Michel Weber, Pouvoir de la décroissance et décroissance du pouvoir. Penser le totalitarisme sanitaire, Louvain-la-Neuve, Éditions Chromatika, 2020 ; ISBN 978-2-930517-74-2, ISBN pdf 978-2-930517-75-9, 302 pp., 30 € Même si les modalités de l’ « événement Covid-19 » sont saisissantes et spectaculaires, l’interprétation de ses enjeux est possible à l’aide du double impératif qui a été avancé dès les années cinquante : d’une part, il faut bien saisir les tenants et les aboutissants de la crise globale systémique, c’est-à-dire intégrer à la fois la problématique de la croissance infinie dans un mode fini, et la nécessité managériale du totalitarisme (prophylactique ou thérapeutique) ; d’autre part, on ne peut faire l’économie d’une étude des pathologies du pouvoir pour comprendre nos errances culturelles. Les études rassemblées ici peuvent se lire comme autant d’actualisations et de développements de l’argument arpenté dans mes derniers ouvrages de philosophie politique : De quelle révolution avons-nous besoin ? (2013), The Political Vindication of Radical Empiricism (2016), Pouvoir, sexe et climat (2017), Contre le totalitarisme transhumaniste (2018) et Covid-19(84) ou La vérité (politique) du mensonge sanitaire (2020). Michel Weber est professeur adjoint de philosophie à l’Université du Saskatchewan (Canada). Il pratique également la thérapie psychocorporelle ayurvédique (Cabinet Metabyanga) et le coaching existentiel (Centre Tonaki).
