[{"id":155053,"title":"Misrecognition","subtitle":"4 Essays on C. A. Doxiadis","description":"The four essays, inspired by and focused on Constantinos Apostolos Doxiadis (1913-1975), serve the following purposes. The first, to propose a profile for an exceptional city planner and architect (scientific, epistemological and cultural); second, to present information and data to explore the complex and \"adventurous. relationship between the founder of the Ekistics approach and modern Greek society in the second half of the 20th century; third, to initiate research on how scientific knowledge (e.g. Ekistics) is produced, diffused and received in modern societies with or without a strong scientific tradition; fourth, to demonstrate the urgent need to create in Greece mechanisms of accreditation and \"meritocratic praise\" of excellence for its most creative members.\u003cbr\u003eUndoubtedly the mis-recognition of the important and the exceptional is an adventure, a combination of fame and rumours, is associated with passion and conflict, engages in a chain of achievements and failures, cultivates vortexes of hope and frustration, and in this context our four (difficult or easy) essay-texts can only be an introduction rather than the last chapter in a volume of evaluation of a personality like that of C. A. Doxiadis.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b158043.jpg","isbn":"978-960-6723-12-4","isbn13":"978-960-6723-12-4","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":{"id":9601,"name":"Synapses","books_count":1,"tsearch_vector":"'synapses'","created_at":"2017-04-13T02:19:15.959+03:00","updated_at":"2017-04-13T02:19:15.959+03:00"},"pages":125,"publication_year":2010,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":"15.0","price_updated_at":"2011-06-20","cover_type":"Μαλακό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":"Παραναγνώριση: 4 δοκίμια για τον Κ.
