Addresses to the German Nation
by Bela Kapossy Isaac Nakhimovsky Johann Gottlieb Fichte Keith TribeIn the winter of 1807, while Berlin was occupied by French troops, the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte presented fourteen public lectures that have long been studied as a major statement of modern nationalism. Yet Fichte's Addresses to the German Nation have also been interpreted by many as a vision of a cosmopolitan alternative to nationalism.This new edition of the Addresses is designed to make Fichte's arguments more accessible to English-speaking readers. The clear, readable, and reliable translation is accompanied by a chronology of the events surrounding Fichte's life, suggestions for further reading, and an index. The groundbreaking introductory essay situates Fichte's theory of the nation state in the history of modern political thought. It provides historians, political theorists, and other students of nationalism with a fresh perspective for considering the interface between cosmopolitanism and republicanism, patriotism and nationalism.
Addressing: Leveraging the Seductive Power of Interpreters--Bringing Radical Innovations to Market
by Roberto VergantiAfter you have defined a new vision for a product family in the research phase of design-driven innovation, you must effectively propose that vision and product to the market. There are many known challenges. People may be confused by a radical new proposal, even though they may eventually convert and become passionate about it. Design-driven innovation implies a change in socially accepted paradigms: if it is successful, the market--and consumption culture--will not be the same. Thus, rather than simply launch the product and wait for customers to embrace it, a firm needs to support this paradigm shift through proactive investments aimed at facilitating the understanding, assimilation, and adoption of the new meaning that the product proposes. This chapter looks at how firms, both big and small, can leverage the insights and influence of the very designers who worked on a game-changing product or service to bring these radical innovations to market. This chapter was originally published as chapter 9 of "Design-Driven Innovation: Changing the Rules of Competition by Radically Innovating What Things Mean."

by Jerome S. GansThis practical and helpful volume details how clinicians can work through various common challenges in individual, couple, or group psychotherapy. Chapters draw upon clinical wisdom gleaned from the author’s 48 years as a practicing psychiatrist to address topics such as using countertransference for therapeutic purposes; resistance, especially when it needs to be the focus of the therapy; and a prioritization of exploration over explanation.
