Technology made modernity possible. It has been the engine of modernity, shaping it and propelling it forward. The Renaissance was made possible by major fourteenthand fifteenth-century inventions like the mechanical clock, the full-rigged ship, fixed-viewpoint perspective, global maps, and the printing press. The emergence of industrial society in the eighteenth century was the result of an in...

This research has been done during two years and with studying and consistent referring to almost thirty villages of region called” Mukerian” located in south of west Azarbaijan Iran. Data’s of this research considering socio-cultural peculiarities of studied rural by using qualitative methods and grounded theory and applying techniques like; deep interviews, oral history and field participatio...

This paper provides computational algorithms for a Korean reflexive caki, for which both sentence-bound and long-distance readings are possible. Its analyses are based on Chierichia's theory in Categorial Grammar, and a CCG-like system is introduced for the implementation. In this system, we can get both readings of caki with the same resolution mechanisms, while the difference is where the ref...

We present a wide class of reflexive, precompact, non-compact, Abelian topological groupsG determined by three requirements. They must have the Baire property, satisfy the open refinement condition, and contain no infinite compact subsets. This combination of properties guarantees that all compact subsets of the dual group G are finite. We also show that many (non-reflexive) precompact Abelian ...

This paper aims to show the centrality the concept of progress occupies explicitly and implicitly in social theory, in relation to the theorization and understanding of modernity; it also raises the question whether in times where Eurocentrism, logocentrism, and indeed almost every claim of supremacy are rightly viewed with suspicion, it is possible to think of modernity without relying on some...

The biblical book of Ecclesiastes is often claimed as a harbinger of modernity. In this essay, I compare Ecclesiastes with two overlapping constructions of modernity, taken from Matthew Arnold and Charles Taylor, focusing especially on Taylor’s motifs of inwardness, narrativity, meaninglessness, and ordinary life. I suggest that the likeness to modernity in Ecclesiastes is a complex bundle of e...
