Book excerpt: Long before biblical times, dreams may have been a source of divine and creative impulses to push humanity to greater levels of awareness, to initiate discoveries, and to develop inventions. Dreams have offered protection and guidance on the spiritual path towards the souls divine purpose. Ancient tribal priests, medicine men, and shamans often used dreams to foretell fortunes and direct the travels of nomadic tribes to ensure their survival and safe journey. In Afflatus: A Collection of Dreams and Their Gnostic Influence on Human Evolution, author Trudy Fox presents a collection of historical events demonstrating how, through spiritual intervention, dreams have shaped the events of history and will continue to do so in the future. Fox seeks to inspire you to pursue the insight, guidance, and ideas that may be transmitted during the sleep state. She prompts everyone to pursue their hearts passions. The stories shared are about ordinary people who achieved extraordinary things through their dreams. There are those souls who at the right time in their personal evolution and the evolution of the world are open to receiving divine Gnostic inspiration. Afflatus: A Collection of Dreams and Their Gnostic Influence on Human Evolution aims to help you to become open to receiving divine guidance and, through this awareness, find your true meaning and purpose in life.

Download or read book A Transition to Advanced Mathematics written by William Johnston and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics: A Survey Course promotes the goals of a "bridge'' course in mathematics, helping to lead students from courses in the calculus sequence (and other courses where they solve problems that involve mathematical calculations) to theoretical upper-level mathematics courses (where they will have to prove theorems and grapple with mathematical abstractions). The text simultaneously promotes the goals of a ``survey'' course, describing the intriguing questions and insights fundamental to many diverse areas of mathematics, including Logic, Abstract Algebra, Number Theory, Real Analysis, Statistics, Graph Theory, and Complex Analysis. The main objective is "to bring about a deep change in the mathematical character of students -- how they think and their fundamental perspectives on the world of mathematics." This text promotes three major mathematical traits in a meaningful, transformative way: to develop an ability to communicate with precise language, to use mathematically sound reasoning, and to ask probing questions about mathematics. In short, we hope that working through A Transition to Advanced Mathematics encourages students to become mathematicians in the fullest sense of the word. A Transition to Advanced Mathematics has a number of distinctive features that enable this transformational experience. Embedded Questions and Reading Questions illustrate and explain fundamental concepts, allowing students to test their understanding of ideas independent of the exercise sets. The text has extensive, diverse Exercises Sets; with an average of 70 exercises at the end of section, as well as almost 3,000 distinct exercises. In addition, every chapter includes a section that explores an application of the theoretical ideas being studied. We have also interwoven embedded reflections on the history, culture, and philosophy of mathematics throughout the text.

Book excerpt: Learning in Places is a concerted effort undertaken by an outstanding group of international researchers to create a resource book that can introduce academic, professional and lay readers to the field of informal learning/education and its potential to transform present educational thinking. The book presents a wealth of ideas from a wide variety of disciplinary fields and methodological approaches covering multiple learning landscapes - in museums, workplaces, classrooms, places of recreation - in a variety of political, social and cultural contexts around the world. Learning in Places presents the most recent theoretical advances in the field; analyzing the social, cultural, political, historical and economical contexts within which informal learning develops and must be critiqued. It also looks into the epistemology that nourishes its development and into the practices that characterize its implementation; and finally reflects on the variety of educational contexts in which it is practiced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume builds on two recent developments in philosophy on the relationship between art and science: the notion of representation and the role of values in theory choice and the development of scientific theories. Its aim is to address questions regarding scientific creativity and imagination, the status of scientific performances—such as thought experiments and visual aids—and the role of aesthetic considerations in the context of discovery and justification of scientific theories. Several contributions focus on the concept of beauty as employed by practising scientists, the aesthetic factors at play in science and their role in decision making. Other essays address the question of scientific creativity and how aesthetic judgment resolves the problem of theory choice by employing aesthetic criteria and incorporating insights from both objectivism and subjectivism. The volume also features original perspectives on the role of the sublime in science and sheds light on the empirical work studying the experience of the sublime in science and its relation to the experience of understanding. The Aesthetics of Science tackles these topics from a variety of novel and thought-provoking angles. It will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in philosophy of science and aesthetics, as well as other subdisciplines such as epistemology and philosophy of mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient letters have generally been treated as "snapshots" of everyday life or "mirrors" of their author's soul. As such, they have been used uncritically as biographical or historical sources. The first half of this study critiques traditional approaches to ancient letters. The final two chapters, following in the tradition of recent work on the letter as a medium for self-fashioning, focuses on the intersection of epistolary form, content, and cultural context to argue that letters played an integral part in the constitution of individual subjectivity and in the management of that subjectivity. The letters under consideration are primarily prose and come from a variety of periods, ranging from Cicero's late republican Rome to Augustine's North Africa to Ennodius' sixth-century Northern Italy. Chapter 1 revisits the polemical debate (the battle of the books) at the end of the seventeenth century that produced Richard Bentley's influential Dissertation upon the Epistles of Phalaris to demonstrate that many of the trends in contemporary epistolary studies derive directly or indirectly from Bentley's work. Chapter 2 treats the question of genre using Foucauldian genealogy to make the point that Cicero's privileged status in the genre's history, and the very notion of a coherent genre of letter-writing in classical antiquity, owes much to the genre's reception in the fourth century. Chapter 3 moves from broader questions of genre-construction and the history of reading ancient letters to a theorization of the related epistolary motifs of absence and desire. The material letter functions as a metonym for the absent body of its author; but, as a metonym, it can never fully replace the absent body and alleviate the addressee's desire for presence. Chapter 4 returns to the dynamic of the letter exchange to argue that its inherent dialogism can be used both to create and circulate a textualized self, and also to script roles for one's correspondent, as seems to happen in Augustine's correspondence with Jerome. The conclusion reflects on the potency of the letter as a metaphor for literature writ large in the works of such post-structuralist theorists as Barthes, Derrida, and Lacan.

Book excerpt: While fraud is generally associated with the business world, this book demonstrates that there is also a good deal of fraud and deception among scientists, writers and philanthropists. Scientists will sometimes announce fraudulent findings in order to raise money for additional research projects. Since many scientists live by this "soft" money and have no other income, the temptation to claim results that never occurred is great. Likewise, authors and journalists may commit fraud by claiming that they saw some thing that they did not see or that an event occurred which never happened. There are also writers who steal the work of others and publish such material under their own name. There are executives of charitable organizations who steal the money donated to a charitable cause and there are clergy who steal from the members of their own parish, or sell objects that do not belong to them. Some members of the clergy use their trusted office to gain sexual favors from congregants while others entertain their friends at the expense of their congregations. This work is well documented and demonstrates that the notion of the aloof scientists or holy clergy may be no more than a myth, and that even in these professions all things are not what they seem.
