Philosophy, Science and Religion: Science and Philosophy
Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental modes of thinking about the world and our place in it. Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is the intellectually responsible thing to do to ‘pick sides’ and identify with one of these approaches at the exclusion of others? Or, are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of such magnitude, the devil is in the details. For example, it is important to work out what is really distinctive about each of these ways of inquiring about the world. In order to gain some clarity here, we’ll be investigating what some of the current leading thinkers in philosophy, science and religion are actually doing. This course, entitled ‘Science and Philosophy’, is the first of three related courses in our Philosophy, Science and Religion Online series. The first launch is now closed to enrolments. We will launch a new version of the course in July 2018. The course will address four themes each presented by guest lecturers: 1. Are Science and Religion in conflict? (Professor Michael Murray, Franklin & Marshall) 2. Neuroscience and Free Will (Professor Al Mele, Florida State) 3. Creationism and Evolutionary Biology--Science or Pseudo-science? (Dr. Mark Harris and Dr. David de Pomerai, University of Edinburgh) 4. Do Scientific claims constitute absolute truths? (Professor Martin Kusch, University of Vienna) The second and third courses in the Philosophy, Science and Religion series are ‘Philosophy and Religion’ and ‘Religion and Science’. They may be taken in any order and completing all three courses will give you a broader understanding of this fascinating topic. Look for: • Philosophy, Science and Religion II: Philosophy and Religion • Philosophy, Science and Religion III: Religion and Science Check out our trailer to hear more: https://youtu.be/OifqTI5VKek You can also follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/EdiPhilOnline and you can follow the hashtag #psrmooc Learners can apply for Financial Aid directly with Coursera to assist with the cost of accessing the full course and gaining a certificate for successfully completing the course.

Liderazgo y Desarrollo Personal
Todos hemos tenido alguna experiencia en relación con el liderazgo, ya sea propia o a través de la observación de otros, pero difícilmente podamos definirla. Si nos preguntamos ¿qué es el liderazgo?, existirán tantas definiciones como personas a las que interpelemos.

Estrategias y estilos de negociación
El dilema del negociador es un fenómeno derivado de la tensión que surge cuando se tiene que discernir sobre la estrategia óptima de negociación ante una situación específica. El término fue popularizado por los precursores de la teoría estratégica en la negociación, los profesores David Lax y James Sebenius de Harvard Business School para ilustrar el predicamento entre cooperar o competir en una negociación. En este curso en línea analizamos primero la estructura de la Matriz Dual que caracteriza los estilos de negociación en función de las dos variables relevantes en la negociación que son el énfasis en los resultados y el énfasis en las relaciones. Estudiamos la naturaleza de cada estilo y su relevancia en el diseño estratégico de una negociación. Introducimos un enfoque a la planeación estratégica de la negociación, desde la preparación hasta la implementación con el propósito de identificar la estrategia adecuada que nos permita negociar con efectividad en diferentes contextos con el fin de incorporar el pensamiento estratégico en la negociación.

Democratic Governance and Policymaking
Welcome to the Democratic Governance and Policymaking course! In this course, you will learn that all citizens collectively desire public goods such as justice, peace, and welfare, but beyond their individual means. A state is a politically organized society to fulfill citizens’ public good needs. Politics is an activity in pursuit of the collective interests of the citizens. Policymaking is a collective action to identify, adequately provide, and equitably allocate desired public goods. However, arriving at a collective choice on who gets what, when, and how much, and who decides and how, faces joint action problems. This often leads to a policy gap between citizens’ preferences and policy provision, resulting in a loss of well-being. Governance in policymaking is about providing stewardship to these collective efforts through institutional mechanisms to minimize the policy gap. Democracy in governance is about the active participation of citizens, directly or indirectly, at all stages of policymaking. This course aims to provide an applied appreciation of the role of citizen participation in effective policymaking. As it attempts to do so, it juxtaposes democratic principles with empirical evidence to gain insights into what works, what does not, and why in the practice of democratic governance. The course is structured as follows. Module one describes the context leading to the policy gap. Modules two to four examine the institutional arrangements for policymaking in democratic governance. Modules five and six explain how democratic governance can reduce the policy gap. Module seven concludes with approaches for measuring democratic governance and its determinants.

Universal Theories
This course introduces the notion of universality, whereby a large zoo of seemingly disparate systems can be described by the same theory. It introduces a powerful and widely applicable concept known as renormalization group which explains where this universality comes from. It introduces some paradigmatic frameworks underpinning condensed matter physics, including band structure and the quasiparticle concept. This course introduces two pillars of modern condensed matter physics. The first two modules introduce the renormalization group, which is the central paradigm of modern statistical physics, and has wide applicability across physics and beyond. The third and fourth modules introduce band theory, which is central to solid state physics, and uses it to explain metals and insulators.
