Globalization: A Research Guide to Resources in the Princeton University Library
International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences, subscription title. Earlier editions, International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, 1968 and 1991, rev. and electronic 2008, provide a more general context for the globalized world with 114 entries which reference the concept of globalization. These are useful tools to place globalization into the context of underlying and surrounding philosophies from various social science disciplines.. Philosopher's Index, subscription database. The Philosopher's Index, from 1940 to the present, provides indexing and abstracts from books and journals of philosophy and related fields and is a rich source of materials exploring the ethics and effects of Globalization. It covers the areas of ethics, aesthetics, social philosophy, political philosophy, epistemology, and metaphysic logic as well as material on the philosophy of law, religion, science, history, education, and language. Political philosophy examines the philosophical basis for a wide range of political behaviors and policies, and is a rich source to suggest further directions or different patterns for research and exploration. "The relationship between facts and values is an essential problem in philosophy, political science and sociology. Usually it is held that there is a wide gap between what is and what ought to be, the nature of which, however, is far from clear." From abstract: Valer Ambrus, "Max Webers Wertfreiheitspostulat und die naturalistische Begrundung von Normen", Journal for General Philosophy of Science. (2001; 32(2): 209-236). |
