Book Synopsis The Time is Now. Essays on the Philosophy of Becoming by : Douglas ALLEN
Download or read book The Time is Now. Essays on the Philosophy of Becoming written by Douglas ALLEN and published by Zeta Books. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time for what? The title of Mihaela Gligor’s edited collection is wonderfully flexible, as anything having to do with time should be. There is something not only boundless about time, but also raw and untamed. In its pure form, time would be too much for us to handle. We would be crushed by the sheer immensity of it, or else we would lose our minds trying to make sense of such unmediated time. Luckily, for the most part we don’t experience time in its pure form. Time comes to us already processed: shaped, engineered, tamed. The volume does fine justice to the notion that we experience time as already shaped by religion, politics, and culture. Whether its contributions cover religious or political figures, philosophers or poets, mystics or physicists, they show – sometimes explicitly, sometimes more discreetly – how difficult it is to deal with time in a pure, unmediated form. The contributors’ cultural, religious, and intellectual rooting inform the way think about time, just as about anything else. Which, far from being a weakness, is something to be recognized and celebrated. (Costică Brădățan, Texas Tech University, U.S.A.)
Book Synopsis What Time Is This Place? by : Kevin Lynch
Download or read book What Time Is This Place? written by Kevin Lynch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1976-10-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the human sense of time, a biological rhythm that may follow a different beat from that dictated by external, "official," "objective" timepieces. Time and Place—Timeplace—is a continuum of the mind, as fundamental as the spacetime that may be the ultimate reality of the material world.Kevin Lynch's book deals with this human sense of time, a biological rhythm that may follow a different beat from that dictated by external, "official," "objective" timepieces. The center of his interest is on how this innate sense affects the ways we view and change—or conserve, or destroy—our physical environment, especially in the cities.
Book Synopsis Because the Time is Near by : John MacArthur
Download or read book Because the Time is Near written by John MacArthur and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the world is coming. From roadside signs to science fiction films, this slogan underscores our society’s nervous fascination with the future. Whether it’s a giant asteroid, a worldwide plague, or some other global catastrophe, the end of the world is a terrifying prospect—at least for those who have no idea what it will be like. For Christians, however, the end of the world should be anything but dreadful. In fact, it should be something we actually look forward to. Why? Because God has told us how the world will end. And He has assured us that the end of this age will mark the beginning of a new, glorious one in which we will serve and worship Him in sinless perfection. Our eternal hope, as believers, is intimately tied to the end of this world. All of this is laid out in the book of Revelation. Not only is Revelation the inspired Word of God, it is also the only New Testament book that includes a promised spiritual blessing for those who study and apply its message. As such, it is an essential part of every Christian’s devotional life. Those who ignore Revelation deprive themselves of a rich treasure of divine truth, and the promised blessings that come from understanding that truth. Join John MacArthur as he explains the book of Revelation in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.

Book Synopsis The Time Is Now by : Joan Chittister
Download or read book The Time Is Now written by Joan Chittister and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved nun and social activist offers a soul-stirring guide for all who feel disillusioned and dissatisfied with the power-hungry institutions and systems of this world “A cri de coeur against the status quo and for a bold spirituality to fight injustice.”—The New York Times In The Time Is Now, Sister Joan Chittister—a rabble-rousing force of nature for social justice and fervent proponent of personal faith and spiritual fulfillment—draws on the wisdom of prophets, both ancient and modern, to help us confront the societal forces that oppress and silence the sacred voices among us. Pairing scriptural insights with narratives of the truth-tellers that came before us, Sister Joan offers a compelling vision for readers to combat complacency and to propel ourselves toward creating a world of justice, freedom, peace, and empowerment. For the weary, the cranky, and the fearful, this energizing message invites us to participate in a vision for a world greater than the one we find ourselves in today. This is spirituality in action; this is practical and powerful activism for our times. Praise for The Time Is Now “For decades Chittister has been a prolific author and advocate for women and social justice inside and outside the realm of the Catholic Church. Here she shares her perspective on the current state of equity, social justice, and the environment and calls on all Christians to explore the traits of prophets, many of which they can find within themselves . . . offering motivation as well as ways to accomplish change.”—Booklist “A series of short essays to encourage and refresh the spirit of activists . . . applicable to both progressive and conservative Christians. Will appeal to spiritual readers seeking an encouraging book for social justice advocacy.”—Library Journal (starred review)
Book Synopsis Time and the Other by : Johannes Fabian
Download or read book Time and the Other written by Johannes Fabian and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time and the Other is a classic work that critically reexamined the relationship between anthropologists and their subjects and reoriented the approach literary critics, philosophers, and historians took to the study of humankind. Johannes Fabian challenges the assumption that anthropologists live in the "here and now," that their subjects live in the "there and then," and that the "other" exists in a time not contemporary with our own. He also pinpoints the emergence, transformation, and differentiation of a variety of uses of time in the history of anthropology that set specific parameters between power and inequality. In this edition, a new postscript by the author revisits popular conceptions of the "other" and the attempt to produce and represent knowledge of other(s).
Book Synopsis The Time Is at Hand by : Robert Finley
Download or read book The Time Is at Hand written by Robert Finley and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE TIME IS AT HAND The Book of Revelation was written in 66 A.D. to reveal that the time had come for the fulfillment of Christ's prophecies regarding those who condemned Him to death. The destruction of Jerusalem, which He had foretold, was delayed 36 years while He called out an elect remnant of 144,000 Hebrews to give the gospel to other nations. The great tribulation occurred 66-70 A.D. There will be no other comparable to it. The falling away of the churches began in the Fourth Century, and culminated 500 years later with that man of sin setting himself up in Rome like a god on the earth. The first beast of Revelation 13 was the Roman Empire, the second was religious Rome. The Antichrist came in the Seventh Century, not "against Christ," but as the one who took His place, as in "anti-climax." Muhammad's influence has been a thousand times greater than all other antichrists put together: past, present and future. There is no mention of the restoration of Israel as a nation in the New Testament, so present-day Israel has no prophetic significance. Christ will return when He has planted a witness ________________________________________ 1944-Student Body President, University of Virginia Undefeated Inter-Collegiate Boxing Champion 1945-1948-Field Evangelist, Youth for Christ International University Evangelist, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship 1948-1951-Missionary Evangelist in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines and India 1953-1970-Founder, first President, Chairman: International Students, Inc. 1953-2008-Founder, first President, Chairman: Overseas Students Mission Founder, first President, Chairman: Christian Aid Mission ROBERT FINLEY

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Time Is Out of Joint presents an examination of Shakespeare's distinctly modern confrontation with time and temporality, the difference between the truth of the fact, that of theory, and that of interpretation and revelatory truth, and finds that Shakespeare anticipated post-metaphysical philosophy and its central concerns at a time when modern metaphysics had not yet reached it speak.

Book Synopsis The Time is Always Now by : Nick Bromell
Download or read book The Time is Always Now written by Nick Bromell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-04 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why," asks Nick Bromell, "should the political thought of white Americans remain the only theory to which Americans of all ethnicities turn when constructing and reconstructing their understanding of democracy? Must Americans remain locked in an apartheid of experience and perception even after whites have become a minority population in this nation? Hasn't the 2012 presidential election made clear that the time has come to build not just on the votes of citizens of color, but on the varieties of democratic thought their experience has engendered?" In his answers to these questions, Bromell brings to light an underappreciated stream of democratic reflection by black writers and activists from David Walker to Malcolm X. Bromell argues that these thinkers urge Americans to fundamentally re-imagine the nature of their democracy and recognize that indignation can be a powerful and productive democratic emotion; that dignity is just as important to democracy as equality and liberty; that national citizenship can be infused with a sense of responsibility to the world; and that faith can actually promote rather than threaten democratic pluralism. A literary critic and intellectual historian, Bromell draws on a wide range of fiction, essays, speeches, and oral histories, deftly synthesizing recent work in U.S. history, literary and cultural studies, and political theory. Like the figures he discusses, he puts this thought to work in the present moment, this "now." Black democratic insights, he shows, are strikingly relevant to the challenges facing US democracy today, and they provide the basis for a new, post-liberal public philosophy with which to turn back the rise of radical conservatism. Historian Robin D.G. Kelley writes: "In this work of enormous breadth, depth, and imagination, Nick Bromell makes what may be the most original contribution to political theory in the past decade. In this age of alleged color blindness, Bromell has the vision and the chutzpah to turn to African American thought-ideas born of struggle, anchored in questions of dignity, human relationships, and faith-in order to revitalize American democracy.

Book Synopsis WHAT IS TIME? WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF TIME AND THE SENSE OF DURATION? by : Samuel K. K. Blankson
Download or read book WHAT IS TIME? WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF TIME AND THE SENSE OF DURATION? written by Samuel K. K. Blankson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cosmos itself is not governed or regulated by time but by chance, so cosmology can never appear consistently logical. Time and regulation are human concepts. The 'points and instants' notion is no longer credible. Points are our basic intellectual tools since the instants arise through moving from point to point, making time discrete. A.N. Whitehead's definition of time as "a sequence of non-interacting moments" is credible. Russell also said "There is no longer a universal time..." And Professor Eddington observed that time does not 'flow'. The Minkowski 4-D geometry is seen as plainly false, and so time travel is impossible. There are no days in nature at all. There is only one constant day. All existence is daylight. The nights are freakish and irrelevant. The earth's rotations are just flippant shadows over reality. Nothing in astronomy happens only by night and not by day. Logically deduced, time appears to be human and we can solve the problem of how it passes by, too."
Book Synopsis The Order of Time by : Carlo Rovelli
Download or read book The Order of Time written by Carlo Rovelli and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of TIME’s Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade "Meet the new Stephen Hawking . . . The Order of Time is a dazzling book." --The Sunday Times From the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Reality Is Not What It Seems, Helgoland, and Anaximander comes a concise, elegant exploration of time. Why do we remember the past and not the future? What does it mean for time to "flow"? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us? In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike. For most readers this is unfamiliar terrain. We all experience time, but the more scientists learn about it, the more mysterious it remains. We think of it as uniform and universal, moving steadily from past to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where at the most fundamental level time disappears. He explains how the theory of quantum gravity attempts to understand and give meaning to the resulting extreme landscape of this timeless world. Weaving together ideas from philosophy, science and literature, he suggests that our perception of the flow of time depends on our perspective, better understood starting from the structure of our brain and emotions than from the physical universe. Already a bestseller in Italy, and written with the poetic vitality that made Seven Brief Lessons on Physics so appealing, The Order of Time offers a profoundly intelligent, culturally rich, novel appreciation of the mysteries of time.

Book Synopsis What is the time? by : Aleksandr Anufriyev
Download or read book What is the time? written by Aleksandr Anufriyev and published by Aleksandr Anufriyev. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is a complex notion that includes a logical procedure for determining the stages of a process(event) and logical information(data) necessary to perform such a logical procedure. It uses an algorithm for comparing and contrasting known or standard events (processes) with events (processes) that need to be understood, to determine the stages of existence or to plan their implementation. This book is for every age, anyone who can read and who is interested in what time it will be the main audience. It explains why people think time is relative, and what is time, and gives the audience examples of different devices to "measure" time. If you want to know how to better explain to your kids, your friends, or your students what Time means, then in this book, you will find the answers. First, let me tell you how and why I wrote this book. Long ago, in the year 2014, I was in the park with my daughter. She was in middle school and well-educated about many things nowadays life. Suddenly she asks me one very simple question; "Daddy, what is time?". I try to make it simple but understand during our conversation, that it will be not easy and no simple answer. And it is completely understandable. Look at one of the oldest and most respectable dictionaries, Merriam-Webster, since 1828! Definition of time, according to Merriam-Webster. ******************************************************************************************************** Definition of time The measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues. ******************************************************************************************************** Definition of the period. The completion of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action. ******************************************************************************************************** Definition of duration. The time during which something exists or lasts. ******************************************************************************************************** If we combine all these definitions, we will have a final definition of time: The measured or measurable completion of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action that exists or lasts in time. ******************************************************************************************************* As you can see, we use the word "time" in this final definition. It's like saying: "Time is time." The circle is complete. In this book, you will find a different definition of time. Very easy to understand. You can tell your kids about it, and kids will understand what is time, with no trouble at all. You will find out where is time came from. How the myths about time were created and who invented these fairy tales. How did people start to use the 'generators of standard processes' which most people call the 'time measurement devices'. You will find the answer to the most intriguing question; "Is it possible to travel in time?". You will know where you can travel and where you can not. This trip starts a long time ago, when Homo sapiens live in a cave, and ended up today when people dreamed about life inside Virtual World, where are new time and new life exists. But first, let's talk about time in our world, the world of processes, events, and material objects. Happy reading!

Book Synopsis Once Upon a Time Is Now by : Megan Biesele
Download or read book Once Upon a Time Is Now written by Megan Biesele and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2023 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after her first fieldwork with Ju/'hoan San hunter-gatherers, anthropologist Megan Biesele has written this exceptional memoir based on personal journals she wrote at the time. The treasure trove of vivid learning experiences and nightly ponderings she found has led to a memoir of rare value to anthropology students and academics as well as to general readers. Her experiences focus on the long-lived healing dance, known to many as the trance dance, and the intricate beliefs, artistry, and social system that support it. She describes her immersion in a creative community enlivened and kept healthy by that dance, which she calls "one of the great intellectual achievements of humankind." From the Preface: A few years ago I finally got around to looking back into the box of personal field journals I had not opened for over forty years. I found a treasure trove. It was an overwhelming experience. So much that I had forgotten came vividly alive: I laughed, wept, and was terrified all over again at my temerity in taking on what I had taken on. To do justice to the richness of these notebooks, I realized, I would have to do a completely different sort of writing from anything I had ever done before.
