This is an interdisciplinary analysis of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy and contemporary architecture. The objective of the survey was to determine the level of awareness among school and university teachers. The employment of Deleuze at the two extremities of a crucial architectural debate at the core of mainstream practice and as a fundamental source of secondary approaches to design and research has generated a significant body of literature on the subject's significance in architecture. Characterize. Identify this current reluctance as a repetition of earlier design reductions for a product or process, and construct a new path. This article aims to provide an overview of aesthetic studies in architecture, urban design, and the environment. Using new philosophical perspectives and interculturality principles, the study examines the past twelve years as a period of considerable research into the abovementioned challenges. During this period, architectural aesthetics research appears to have evolved into increasingly complex transdisciplinary fields, generating new theoretical concepts and enhancing creative practice procedures.

The marginal productivity theory is the modern form of the three-factor theory of value. It is the fundamental theory used in Western economics to describe value creation, as well as the fundamental Western theory dealing with wealth theory in the value category. Its original form is the "trinity formula," composed of three propositions and formulated more than 200 years ago by Jean-Baptiste Say. Because of internal logical defects in the three propositions, the "trinity formula" is merely a hypothesis, and cannot be accepted as a scientific "theory." The modern form of the three-factor theory of value is the marginal productivity theory proposed more than 100 years ago by John Bates Clark, and subsequently developed further by other researchers. The marginal productivity theory, however, still suffers from three defects of internal logic, and, correspondingly, from three external theoretical difficulties. The article explains that the marginal productivity theory, the modern form of the factor theory of value, has external deficiencies. First, the subject of distribution cannot be defined; second, the contributions made by the factors cannot be defined; and third, the ownership of the contributions cannot be defined.

The thesis analyzes the neoclassic price theory within the framework of value and price theory based on Marx's labor theory of value, and then illustrates the position, essence, and defects of neoclassic price theory. Moreover, it illustrates that scientific market price theory should be established on the basis of Marx's labor theory of value, which overcomes the defects of neoclassic price theory.

What might a viable political alternative to liberal democracy look like? In Against Political Equality, Tongdong Bai offers a possibility inspired by Confucian ideas. Bai argues that domestic governance influenced by Confucianism can embrace the liberal aspects of democracy along with the democratic ideas of equal opportunities and governmental accountability to the people. But Confucianism would give more political decision-making power to those with the moral, practical, and intellectual capabilities of caring for the people. While most democratic thinkers still focus on strengthening equality to cure the ills of democracy, the proposed hybrid regime-made up of Confucian-inspired meritocratic characteristics combined with democratic elements and a quasi-liberal system of laws and rights-recognizes that egalitarian qualities sometimes conflict with good governance and the protection of liberties, and defends liberal aspects by restricting democratic ones. Bai applies his views to the international realm by supporting a hierarchical order based on how humane each state is toward its own and other peoples, and on the principle of international interventions whereby humane responsibilities override sovereignty. Exploring the deficiencies posed by many liberal democracies, Against Political Equality presents a novel Confucian-engendered alternative for solving today's political problems

China is a rising economic and political power. But what is the message of this rise? Tongdong Bai addresses this increasingly pressing question by examining the rich history of political theories and practices from China's past, and showing how it impacts upon the present. Part of Zed?s World Political Theories series, this ground-breaking work offers a remarkable insight into the political history and thought of a nation that is becoming increasingly powerful on the world stage
