  • HARVARD LAW SCHOOL Program on Corporate Governance Report of Activities, July 1, 2007 – June 30, 2008
    HARVARD LAW SCHOOL Program on Corporate Governance Report of Activities, July 1, 2007 – June 30, 2008 The Program on Corporate Governance seeks to contribute to policy, public discourse, and education in the area of corporate governance. It seeks to advance this mission in two inter- related ways: • Bridging the Gap between Academia and Practice: The Program seeks to foster interactions between the worlds of academia and practice that will enrich both. These interactions enable academic researchers to understand better the questions and the environment that practitioners face and thereby facilitate research that will be more relevant for practice, make public and private decision-makers better informed about research activities in corporate governance, and enrich the public discourse on corporate governance. • Fostering Policy-Relevant Research: The Program fosters empirical and policy research that can shed direct light on the corporate governance questions that public and private decision- makers face. By providing directly relevant research that is grounded in the best methods of academic research, such research projects can have an important impact on decision-making and public discourse in this area. The Program's academic committee consists of Professors Lucian Bebchuk, John Coates, Allen Ferrell, Reinier Kraakman, Mark Roe, and Guhan Subramanian. Other full-time faculty members that take part in the Program’s activities are Robert Clark, Oliver Hart, Howell Jackson, Mark Ramseyer, Hal Scott, and Robert Sitkoff. Also contributing to the Program’s activities is Leo Strine, Jr, a regular visiting professor at Harvard Law School, who is a senior fellow of the Program. The Program’s director is Professor Lucian Bebchuk and its executive director is Holger Spamann.

It will require courage, audacity, and heart. It is much more radical than a revolution – it is the beginning of a transformation in the quality of life on our planet.

  • New Religious Movements
    New Religious Movements New Religious Movements: Challenge and response is a searching and wide-ranging collection of essays on the contemporary phenomenon of new religions. The contributors to this volume are all established specialists in the sociology, theology, law, or the history of new minority movements. The primary focus is the response of the basic institutions of society to the challenge which new religious movements represent. The orientation of this volume is to examine the way in which new movements in general have affected modern society in areas such as economic organisation; the operation of the law; the role of the media; the relationship of so-called ‘cult’ membership to mental health; and the part which women have played in leading or supporting new movements. Specific instances of these relationships are illustrated by reference to many of the most prominent new religions – Hare Krishna, The Brahma Kumaris, The Unification Church, The Jesus Army, The Family’, The Church of Scientology, and Wicca. For students of religion or sociology, New Religious Movements is an invaluable source of information, an example of penetrating analysis, and a series of thought-provoking contributions to a debate which affects many areas of contemporary life in many parts of the world. Contributors: Eileen Barker, James Beckford, Anthony Bradney, Colin Campbell, George Chryssides, Peter Clarke, Paul Heelas, Massimo Introvigne, Lawrence Lilliston, Gordon Melton, Elizabeth Puttick, Gary Shepherd, Colin Slee, Frank Usarski, Bryan Wilson. Bryan Wilson is an Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. He is the author and editor of several books on sects and New Religious Movements.

  • Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960S
    Cults and Cosmic Consciousness: Religious Vision in the American 1960s CAMILLE PAGLIA 1. eclipse by politics Commentary on the 1960s has been mas- sive. Law and politics in that turbulent decade are well doc- umented but remain controversial, and the same thing can be said of contemporary innovations in mass media and the arts. One major area remains ambiguous or poorly assimi- lated, however—the new religious vision, which for a tanta- lizing moment in the American sixties brought East and West together in a progressive cultural synthesis. Its promise was never completely fulfilled, for reasons I will try to sketch here. But the depth and authenticity of that spiritual shift need to be more widely acknowledged. A political model currently governs interpretations of the sixties because of the enduring reform movements born in that period, including environmentalism, feminism, and gay liberation. Their mobilizing energy, as well as the organiza- tional style that would also be adopted by antiwar protests, initially came from the civil rights movement sparked by the us Supreme Court’s 1954 decision declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional. In that crusade, it must be remembered, ordained Protestant ministers such as Martin Luther King, Jr., played a leading role, as they also had in nineteenth-century abolitionism. The civil rights movement, with its hymns and anthems, appealed not just to secular standards of social justice but to a higher moral code. An expanded version of a lecture delivered on 26 March 2002 at Yale University, sponsored by the Institute for the Advanced Study of Religion at Yale.

  • The Ethical and Scientific Offences of Erhard and Jensen
    Forthcoming 2016, Capitalism and Society, Columbia University, Center on Capitalism A comment on Erhard and Jensen, “Putting Integrity Into Finance: A Purely Positive Approach” The Ethical and Scientific Offences of Erhard and Jensen Deirdre Nansen McCloskey1 Abstract: Erhard and Jensen try to produce a standard for “integrity” without ethical input. It is making bricks without straw. They further suggest that existence theorems and statistical significance will suffice. On all counts they are mistaken. JEL codes: B41, C01, G05, M20, The long paper by Werner Erhard and Michael C. Jensen is admirably ambitious. But it makes three related mistakes. The mistakes, I am unhappy to report, add up to bad ethics and bad science. Bad ethics first. Erhard and Jensen suppose that economics, or any science, not to mention a social science, can arrive at judgments of good or bad in functioning without ethics. They think they are avoiding ethics, getting to the good “with no normative aspects whatsoever.” You can see that there is something strange in such a program. The strangeness is inspired by the ethics and epistemology we get in graduate school, and that some of us never recover from. Erhard and Jensen draw on the vocabulary of “positive” as against “normative,” the reduced ethical theory that most economists take as the last word. As they write, “In the current economic mindset ’integrity’ automatically occurs as normative, most economists will dismiss it out-of-hand.” That’s right: the remark is certainly correct as sociology. The dismissal is a Nouvelle Chicago-School/junior-high dogma, enforced with more and more enthusiasm as the 1970s wore on.

  • And Unauthorized Uses of Scientology: Werner Erhard and Est, Ken Dyers and Kenja, and Harvey Jackins and Re-Evaluation Counselling
    chapter 21 “Squirrels” and Unauthorized Uses of Scientology: Werner Erhard and est, Ken Dyers and Kenja, and Harvey Jackins and Re-Evaluation Counselling Carole M. Cusack1 Introduction The Church of Scientology (CoS), following the example of its founder L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986) has been notorious for the extent to which it has striven to keep teachings (particularly the controversial Operating Thetan [ot] Levels) secret, and for the virulence of the reprisals it has visited upon those who have taken the “Tech” and used it for purposes other than those Hubbard mandated, or in a context outside CoS (Urban 2006). Yet since 1954 when the Church of Scientology was founded, there have been a number of notable individuals who were briefly Scientologists, or associated with CoS in some way, then broke away to form their own groups, whether religious, spiritual or secular. Within CoS such people are called “squirrels”, a term coined by Hubbard. This chapter examines three alleged “squirrels” and the movements they founded: Werner Erhard (b. John Paul “Jack” Rosenberg, 1935), the founder of Erhard Seminars Training (est), now Landmark Education; Ken Dyers (1922–2007), co-founder (with Jan Hamilton) of Kenja; and Harvey Jackins (1916–1999), the founder of Re-evaluation Counselling (rc, also called Co-Counselling). Both Erhard and Dyers insisted their movements were not religious, yet they have nevertheless been accused of leading “cults” and of sharing many behaviours that are deemed characteristic of abusive charismatic leaders of nrms (Lockwood 2011). Harvey Jackins’ adaptation of Dianetics led to a different application of Scientology “Tech”, which was also seemingly non-religious.

(2018). A Review on “The Three Laws of Performance” and Landmark Education. Journal of History Culture and Art Research, 7(5), 826-830. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7596/taksad.v7i5.1786 A Review on “The Three Laws of Performance” and Landmark Education Bilge Azgın1 Abstract This article aims to scrutinize and expose the contextual link between The Three Laws of Performance: Rewriting the Future of Your Organization and Your Life and the Landmark Worldwide (or simply Landmark). Enriched with numerous real-life examples from around the world, “The Three Laws of Performance” is an original and rare contribution to the field as it exposes the fundamental distinctions and transformative technologies offered by the Landmark courses to its readers. While reviewing the content of the book, the article also automatically elucidates the critical distinctions provided by Landmark such as “change versus transformation”, “possibility”, “racket”, “internal voice”, “completing the past”, “default future”, “generative language”, “rewriting future”, “life sentence”, “ontological leadership”, and “authenticity”. In spite of its certain critical shortcomings, “The Three Laws of Performance” deserves credit for originally and powerfully subsuming many of the various distinctions taught in Landmark courses under the axiomatic principles dubbed “the three laws of performance.” Keywords: Leadership, Performance, Transformative learning, Landmark worldwide, Werner Erhard, EST, Personal growth and development, Transformation, Ontological transformation.
