Such development is evident both in terms of industrialization and urbanization, as well as in agriculture, which is heavily based on sugar cane, Eucalyptus plantations and livestock.

Beyond Heaven and Earth
For the past few decades I have been working with a group of scholars in the study of religion who are trying to bring Donald Davidson’s philosophy, a form of pragmatism known as anomalous monism, to bear on religion.

Beyond Foucault: Excursions in Political Genealogy
In this article, I argue that we can best appreciate those works that appeal to the notion of “political genealogy” as distinct forms of study by situating them between moral enquiry and political theory. They draw from moral enquiry the concern with how we ought to live but are not themselves prescriptive.

The various experiences were so different, the wounds so deep, and the colonizers’ behavior so brutal, she said, that one could not yet speak of “our” shared past

Beyond Energy Efficiency in Architecture. New Challenges and Research Traject…
Visual comfort can affect building occupants’ behaviour, productivity and health. It is highly dependent on the occupant and how they perform a task indoors. In that regard, an occupant centred approach is more suitable for evaluating the lighting perception of the indoor environment. Nevertheless, the process of rating and estimating the visual comfort makes a limited distinction between…
