With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects
Short Description:
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792), is one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy. In it, porto-feminist Mary Wollstonecraft critiques 18th century educational and political theorists who believed that women should not receive a rational education. She maintains that women are human beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men, and that treating them as mere ornaments or property for men undercuts the moral foundation of society.

En la primera parte de la actividad, se expondrán los atuendos más característicos de la época de los '50 en adelante; invitando a los prosumidores a cuestionar las diferencias y compararlas con su realidad.Luego, se expondrá un video reflexivo acerca de la expresión de la vestimenta y un momento de 15 minutos para discutir lo visto anteriormente. ¿Qué opinas de eso? ¿Alguna vez sufriste discriminación? ¿Crees que este bien? ¿De dónde creen que salga el pensamiento de la asignación de vestimenta al género? Entre otras preguntas.Finalmente, los alumnos escanearán un código QR para acceder a la actividad; una comunidad en Instagram en donde podrán compartir una imagen de un atuendo que los represente y el por qué. Este puede estar acompañado con su nombre o puede permanecer anónimo.

De igual forma, esto inventiva al estudiante a eliminar tabúes y vergüenza al momento de expresar sus gustos y opiniones, dando paso a un desarrollo adecuado al pensamiento creativo y crítico.
There are over 260 countries and territories across the world, each with its own type of government. A government is a group of people who officially and legally control a country or territory and make all the decisions about its taxes, laws, public services, and more. The word ‘govern’ comes from the Greek word kybernan which means “to control the direction of something.” From communist China with the largest population in the world to Vatican City with the smallest, each nation is uniquely directed or ruled by one person, a few people, or many.

In this seminar we explore the history, present, and future of psychogeography, hoping to map the center and the edges of this elusive field and to pioneer potential new directions and applications for the principles we discover (or invent) along the way. We discuss classic and more recent texts—including novels, essays, poems, reviews, films, and other works of creative nonfiction and speculative fiction. Students also undertake their own psychogeographic wanderings and complete a final “carto-imagino-synthetic” project to document, describe, map, and otherwise “make sense of place” through these techniques.
How do we evaluate ambiguous concepts such as wellbeing, freedom, and social justice? How do we develop policies that offer everyone the best chance to achieve what they want from life? The capability approach, a theoretical framework pioneered by the philosopher and economist Amartya Sen in the 1980s, has become an increasingly influential way to think about these issues.
Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice: The Capability Approach Re-Examined is both an introduction to the capability approach and a thorough evaluation of the challenges and disputes that have engrossed the scholars who have developed it. Ingrid Robeyns offers her own illuminating and rigorously interdisciplinary interpretation, arguing that by appreciating the distinction between the general capability approach and more specific capability theories or applications we can create a powerful and flexible tool for use in a variety of academic disciplines and fields of policymaking.
This book provides an original and comprehensive account that will appeal to scholars of the capability approach, new readers looking for an interdisciplinary introduction, and those interested in theories of justice, human rights, basic needs, and the human development approach.
Taught by William Flesch at Brandeis University, this course offers a survey of some of the greatest and most influential works on Western literature, philosophy and culture, from Homer through Milton. Part of the through line is that every writer covered in the course wrote in a context inherited from the earlier ones, so we look at affiliations between them all. The course used the Lattimore translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and the Hollander translations of Dante. For the other works, any translation or edition is fine.
