Book Synopsis Meaning in Absurdity by : Bernard Kastrup
Download or read book Meaning in Absurdity written by Bernard Kastrup and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an experiment. Inspired by the bizarre and uncanny, it is an attempt to use science and rationality to lift the veil off the irrational. Its ways are unconventional: weaving along its path one finds UFOs and fairies, quantum mechanics, analytic philosophy, history, mathematics, and depth psychology. The enterprise of constructing a coherent story out of these incommensurable disciplines is exploratory. But if the experiment works, at the end these disparate threads will come together to unveil a startling scenario about the nature of reality. The payoff is handsome: a reason for hope, a boost for the imagination, and the promise of a meaningful future. Yet this book may confront some of your dearest notions about truth and reason. Its conclusions cannot be dismissed lightly, because the evidence this book compiles and the philosophy it leverages are solid in the orthodox, academic sense. ,
Book Synopsis Circus of the Absurd by : James O'Leary
Download or read book Circus of the Absurd written by James O'Leary and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circus of the Absurd is a funny, earthy, entertaining slice of life in a war that never seems far from the public consciousness. This sometimes outrageous and often funny view of the Vietnam War is seen through the eyes of a low level enlisted soldier assigned to USARV headquarters in 1967-68. It's definitely NOT a typical "tip of the spear" combat focused book. The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army are minor players in this adrenaline fueled trip through insane incidents and free-wheeling sex, interspersed with brutality, rape, killing, corruption, and other travesties of war. The author lures you into a tantalizing netherworld of hedonistic pleasures and exciting adventures that could be mistaken for a young man's concept of heaven, then periodically punches you in the gut with disturbing and sometimes horrific incidents to remind you that you really are in hell. It's a road rarely traveled in most books on Vietnam but Circus of the Absurd is fascinating, darkly humorous, and packed with little details that may help fill in some of the blanks many people have about the conduct of that controversial war.

Book Synopsis Socialisme ou Barbarie: An Anthology by : Cornelius Castoriadis
Download or read book Socialisme ou Barbarie: An Anthology written by Cornelius Castoriadis and published by ERIS. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOCIALISME OU BARBARIE (1948–67) was a revolutionary group whose journal of the same name helped inspire France's May '68 student-worker rebellion and influenced generations of radicals worldwide. This Anthology, for the first time in print in the English language, restores the collective nature of the group's adventure, where manual and intellectual workers creatively, and not without profound disagreements, reflected and acted together in anticipation of a non-hierarchical, self-governing society. The group radically reoriented critical revolutionary theory by affirming how social change emerges through ordinary people's everyday lives and struggles. In a world divided into two competing bureaucratic-capitalist camps, the autonomous grassroots response to rationalized forms of outside control (State-corporation-trade union-political party) would be workers' management – a conclusion stunningly confirmed, against traditional Left expectations, by the workers' revolts of 1953 and 1956 in the East, and by increasingly widespread challenges to established organizational forms in the 1960s in the West. These texts not only examine the overall crisis of systems of domination, but explore their creative contestation in the workplace, in changing relations between the sexes and between generations, and in movements for national liberation (China, Algeria), to bring out "the positive content of socialism" while remaining clear-eyed about how bureaucratization may be reintroduced into emancipatory struggles.
Book Synopsis The Bloomsbury Anthology of Transcendental Thought by : David LaRocca
Download or read book The Bloomsbury Anthology of Transcendental Thought written by David LaRocca and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is real? What is the relationship between ideas and objects in the world? Is God a concept or a being? Is reality a creation of the mind or a power beyond it? How does mental experience coordinate with natural laws and material phenomena? The Bloomsbury Anthology of Transcendental Thought is the definitive anthology of responses to these and other questions on the nature and limits of human knowledge by philosophers, theologians, and writers from Plato to Zizek. The word �transcendental� is as prevalent and also as ambiguously defined as the name �philosophy� itself. There are as many uses, invocations, and allusions to the term as there are definitions on offer. Every generation of writers, beginning in earnest in ancient Greece and continuing through to our own time, has attempted to clarify, apply, and lay claim to the meaning of transcendental thought. Arranged chronologically, this anthology reflects the diverse uses the term has been put to over the course of two and a half millennia. It lends historical perspective to the abiding importance of the transcendental for philosophical thinking and also some sense of the complexity, richness, and continued relevance of the contested term. The Bloomsbury Anthology of Transcendental Thought, the first anthology of its kind, offers teachers and students a new viewpoint on the history and present of transcendental thought. Its selection of essential, engaging excerpts, carefully selected, edited, and introduced, brings course materials up-to-date with the state of the discipline.
