Book excerpt: The concept of free will is profoundly important to our self-understanding, our interpersonal relationships, and our moral and legal practices. If it turns out that no one is ever free and morally responsible, what would that mean for society, morality, meaning, and the law? Just Deserts brings together two philosophers – Daniel C. Dennett and Gregg D. Caruso – to debate their respective views on free will, moral responsibility, and legal punishment. In three extended conversations, Dennett and Caruso present their arguments for and against the existence of free will and debate their implications. Dennett argues that the kind of free will required for moral responsibility is compatible with determinism – for him, self-control is key; we are not responsible for becoming responsible, but are responsible for staying responsible, for keeping would-be puppeteers at bay. Caruso takes the opposite view, arguing that who we are and what we do is ultimately the result of factors beyond our control, and because of this we are never morally responsible for our actions in the sense that would make us truly deserving of blame and praise, punishment and reward. Just Deserts introduces the concepts central to the debate about free will and moral responsibility by way of an entertaining, rigorous, and sometimes heated philosophical dialogue between two leading thinkers.

Download or read book The Conquest of Illusion: An Exploration of Human Consciousness and the Reality of Life Through Yoga (Hardcover) written by J. J. Van Der Leeuw and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conquest of Illusion is an outstanding investigation of reality and how our perceptions shape it, by author, theosophist and yogi J. J. Van Der Leeuw. This edition contains his original illustrations. An eclectic work which cites relevant works of both Eastern and Western philosophy, The Conquest of Illusion aims to teach those in the modern world - an existence dominated by physical things and technological achievement - of a consciousness which has and will always exist. This essential mystery, scarcely penetrated by most human beings, is this book's central theme. Rather than be an intensive book of dense and philosophically rich arguments, Van Der Leeuw instead opts to inform the reader of his own experiences as a yoga practitioner. These intense experiences result in the book you hold in your hands, which aims to prove that what we outwardly perceive as real and tangible are quite different from the inner truths of time and space that underpin every moment of our existence.

Download or read book Immortal written by Daniel Marques and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, the great wish of man was to become immortal. Such desire has led many in the quest for magic sources of eternal youth in nature, magic, religion and art. Nonetheless, many were the ones that have also built their immortality trough devastating wars, amazing empires, ruthless governing and, most recently, mass manipulation and hypnosis. Immortality, nonetheless, is not something that you search outside of yourself but inside. One can put his name in history trough a huge variety of deeds, good or bad, but a name is just an illusion, such as identity and personality are. The true and only immortal identity is the spirit, which by impersonating different entities and expressing different souls, travels trough time, bodies and realities, in a never ending cycle of life and death. It is the spirit that becomes the master and the disciple, the king and the slave, the man and the woman, the strong and the weak, the loved and the hated, in order to truly develop a clear perspective of self, while expressing the contradiction inside the drama that is life. Conscience of self is immortal, and we all have one. Everything represented by reality is illusion, trough which, nevertheless we build the only truth available - the one inside us. Like children, we get lost in our representations of life, not knowing that it is this joy of experimenting human behavior and emotions, cause and effect, that truly shapes who we are. Trapped in such illusions sometimes we become, when object and subject confuse themselves. It is when we become an effect of life, instead of cause over it, that we die, even far before the body has quit supporting our soul inside him and we move on to the next reincarnation. It is because life is not about the body, the personality, name or recognition, that this book was written. The purpose of this work is to bring freedom to the souls reading it and applying it, by rehabilitating their original capabilities. In this book there are techniques, methods and strategies, which purpose is to help the individual in dealing with his life path, empower himself and achieve all his goals, by becoming more effective in his decisions and in pursuing his life's purpose. The tools here presented go from an understanding of life in its present state till the understanding of how emotions and actions interact, from past to future. Finally, there is also a board of practices to train regarding the spirit, bringing him from this life to previous lives. It is expected that with the knowledge here presented the reader can rehabilitate himself, become happier and achieve all that he dreams upon with proper action towards his goals. This is the book that awakes the source of eternal youth and immortality from within.

Download or read book Mortality, Immortality and Other Life Strategies written by Zygmunt Bauman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-08 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zygmunt Bauman's new book is a brilliant exploration, from a sociological point of view, of the 'taboo' subject in modern societies: death and dying. The book develops a new theory of the ways in which human mortality is reacted to, and dealt with, in social institutions and culture. The hypothesis explored in the book is that the necessity of human beings to live with the constant awareness of death accounts for crucial aspects of the social organization of all known societies. Two different 'life strategies' are distinguished in respect of reactions to mortality. One, 'the modern strategy', deconstructs mortality by translating the insoluble issue of death into many specific problems of health and disease which are 'soluble in principle'. The 'post-modern strategy' is one of deconstructing immortality: life is transformed into a constant rehearsal of 'reversible death', a substitution of 'temporary disappearance' for the irrevocable termination of life. This profound and provocative book will appeal to a wide audience. It will also be of particular interest to students and professionals in the areas of sociology, anthropology, theology and philosophy.

Book excerpt: 'As charming and touching as it is astute and insightful' Adam Alter, New York Times bestselling author of Irresistible and Drunk Tank Pink 'This a very useful book, even perhaps for people who have never been near a computer in their lives' Jake Kerridge, Sunday Telegraph Seen any ghosts on your smartphone lately? As we're compelled to capture, store and share more and more of our personal information, there's something we often forget. All that data doesn't just disappear when our physical bodies shuffle off this mortal coil. If the concept of remaining socially active after you're no longer breathing sounds crazy, you might want to get used to the idea. Digital afterlives are a natural consequence of the information age, a reality that barely anyone has prepared for - and that 'anyone' probably includes you. In All the Ghosts in the Machine, psychologist Elaine Kasket sounds a clarion call to everyone who's never thought about death in the digital age. When someone's hyperconnected, hyperpersonal digital footprint is transformed into their lasting legacy, she asks, who is helped, who is hurt, and who's in charge? And why is now such a critical moment to take our heads out of the sand? Weaving together personal, moving true stories and scientific research, All the Ghosts in the Machine takes you on a fascinating tour through the valley of the shadow of digital death. In the process, it will transform how you think about your life and your legacy, in a time when our technologies are tantalising us with fantasies of immortality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since man has known himself and became conscious of death, the greatest wish of all has been to become immortal. Such desire led many in the quest for magic sources of eternal youth in nature, magic, religion and art, but also blood drinking rituals. For others, immortality had to be conquered, with wars, empires, ruthless or brave leaderships, and, in most recent years, with the manipulation of the public opinion and use of hypnosis.True Immortality, however, isn't something that we should be searching outside of ourselves but within. One can put his name in history through a huge variety of deeds, good or bad, but a name is just an illusion, just like our identity and personality are as well. The true and only immortal element in a human is his spirit, which by impersonating different entities and expressing himself through different souls, travels through time, from one reality to another, in a never ending cycle of life and death. It is the spirit that becomes the master and the disciple, the king and the slave, the man and the woman, the strong and the weak, the loved and the hated, in order to truly develop a clear perspective of self and learn to discard the ego, while expressing a contradiction inside the drama that is life. In this drama, some times he represents what he fears, and other times who imposes that fear, as well as the one that receives the most and the one that offers plenty. The conscience of self is immortal and never ceases expanding.Knowing that we are immortal and gaining conscience about it is the purpose of this book, which intends to describe the path to such state of mind.

Download or read book Biocentrism written by Robert Lanza and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2011 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Lanza is one of the most respected scientists in the world a US News and World Report cover story called him a genius and a renegade thinker, even likening him to Einstein. Lanza has teamed with Bob Berman, the most widely read astronomer in the world, to produce Biocentrism, a revolutionary new view of the universe. Every now and then a simple yet radical idea shakes the very foundations of knowledge. The startling discovery that the world was not flat challenged and ultimately changed the way people perceived themselves and their relationship with the world. For most humans of the 15th century, the notion of Earth as ball of rock was nonsense. The whole of Western, natural philosophy is undergoing a sea change again, increasingly being forced upon us by the experimental findings of quantum theory, and at the same time, toward doubt and uncertainty in the physical explanations of the universes genesis and structure. Biocentrism completes this shift in worldview, turning the planet upside down again with the revolutionary view that life creates the universe instead of the other way around. In this paradigm, life is not an accidental byproduct of the laws of physics. Biocentrism takes the reader on a seemingly improbable but ultimately inescapable journey through a foreign universe our own from the viewpoints of an acclaimed biologist and a leading astronomer. Switching perspective from physics to biology unlocks the cages in which Western science has unwittingly managed to confine itself. Biocentrism will shatter the readers ideas of life--time and space, and even death. At the same time it will release us from the dull worldview of life being merely the activity of an admixture of carbon and a few other elements; it suggests the exhilarating possibility that life is fundamentally immortal. The 21st century is predicted to be the Century of Biology, a shift from the previous century dominated by physics. It seems fitting, then, to begin the century by turning the universe outside-in and unifying the foundations of science with a simple idea discovered by one of the leading life-scientists of our age. Biocentrism awakens in readers a new sense of possibility, and is full of so many shocking new perspectives that the reader will never see reality the same way again.
