The distinction between sense and nonsense is central to Wittgenstein's philosophy. It is at the basis of his conception of philosophy as a struggle against illusions of sense generated by misunderstandings of the logic of our language. Moreover, it informs the notions of ¿grammar¿ (in the later work) and ¿logical syntax¿ (in the early work), whose investigation serves to clear up those misunderstandings. This Element contrasts two exegetical ...

Sexuality and gender diversity rights in Southeast Asia are deeply controversial and vigorously contested. Debate and protest have been accompanied by both legislative reform and discriminatory violence. These contradictory dynamics are occurring at a time when the international human rights regime has explicitly incorporated a focus on the prevention of violence and discrimination in relation to sexuality and gender diversity. This Element fo...

In this Element, the authors propose a novel framework called the E3 Model in which relevant theory and research studies can be organized into three phases: Entrapment, Escape, and Elevation. Entrapment focuses on how people enter and commit to a relationship that later becomes abusive and how experiencing IPV affects the self...

This is an innovative and accessible study of how decolonization is engaged with, subverted, and transformed as a curriculum change project in universities since the #RhodesMustFall movement, based on interviews and insights from ten universities with over two hundred academic teachers.

In 2015, students at the University of Cape Town used the slogan #RhodesMustFall to demand that a monument of Cecil John Rhodes, the empire builder of British South Africa, be removed from the university campus. Soon students at Oxford University called for the removal of a statue of Rhodes from Oriel College. The radical idea of decolonization at the forefront of these student protests continues to be a key element in South African educationa...

In early childhood education and care (ECEC), the importance of extended conversations with children is emphasised through professional practice principles (i.e. what teachers should do) and in learning outcomes for children (i.e. what children should be able to do). Early childhood curricula, frameworks or statements of learning goals for young children necessarily respond to the historical, educational and political priorities of their commu...

Por razões sobejamente conhecidas, Macau e Goa sempre surgiram de certo modo associadas no nosso imaginário, constituindo com Timor os polos mais orientais daquilo a que se chamou o Império Português, algo que terminou completamente em 19 de Dezembro de 1999, aquando da entrega da Administração de Macau à China e a instalação da Região Administrativa Especial de Macau, quase quarenta anos depois da integração do próprio "Estado da Índia" (Goa,...

The book takes us through some of what the cross of Calvary actually means and the stages of the life of Christ before, on, and beyond the cross after his resurrection and ascension to heaven. In other words, Jesus Christ before the cross was not the same as he hanged on the cross. Neither was he the same Jesus Christ after his resurrection and ascension to heaven as written in 2Corinthians 5:16...
