Abstract

This work offers a humorous ethnographic account of policy implementation set in contemporary Danish bureaucracy. Taking the reader deep into the hallways of governmental administration and municipal caseworkers' offices, the text sets out to explore what characterizes policy implementation as a mode of human agency. Using the notions of absurdity and sense-making as lenses through which to explore the dynamic relationship between a policy and its effects, the author reclaims 'implementation studies' for the qualitative sciences and emphasizes the existential dilemma that any policymaker and implementer must confront.

Abstract

This monograph consists of a selection of texts devoted to two key issues in the thought of Albert Camus: absurd and rebellion. The researchers who were invited to contribute are particularly interested in the problem of transition, in the thought of the author of "The Rebel", from philosophical considerations over the absurd in the human condition to the attitude of rebellion. The monograph consists of three parts. In the first of them, researchers analyse first of all the sources of Camus's concept of rebellion: the problems of the absurd and, more generally, the early thought of the author of 'The Outsider'. Part two presents considerations on Camus's rebellion from the perspective of contemporary humanities. And part three focuses on comparative studies and takes up the associations between Camus's thought with inter alia Dostoyevsky, Kolakowski and Iwaszkiewicz.

Abstract

Guy Sircello's analysis of the varieties of expression and his use of them to justify a particular view of the human mind clarify a number of controversial topics in contemporary philosophy, among them the notion of "artistic acts," language as expression, the expression of ideas, expressions as "natural signs," and the nature of the causal relationship between an expression and what is expressed.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
