Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mathematical Philosophy a Study of Fate and Freedom, Lectures for Educated Laymen For more than two score years I have meditated upon the nature of Mathematics, upon its significance in Thought, and upon its bearings on human Life. In the following course of lectures I have endeavored to present, in the language current among educated men and women, some of the maturer fruits of that study. Though the course is designed primarily for students whose major interest is in Philosophy, I venture to hope that the lectures may not be ungrateful to a much wider circle of readers and scholars: To the growing class of such professional mathematicians as are not without interest in the philosophical aspects of their science. To the growing class of such teachers of mathematics as endeavor to make the spirit of their subject dominate its technique. To the growing class of those natural-science students who are interested in the logical structure and the distinctive method of mathematics regarded not only as a powerful instrument for natural science but also and especially as the prototype which every branch of science approximates in proportion as its basal assumptions and concepts become clearly defined. To the innumerous but precious tribe of those literary critics who know that the art of Criticism owes its first allegiance to the eternal laws of thought.

Book Synopsis Democracy and Education by : John Dewey
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book Synopsis Manhood of Humanity by : Alfred Korzybski
Download or read book Manhood of Humanity written by Alfred Korzybski and published by 谷月社. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For a while he trampled with impunityn laws human and divine but, as he wasbsessed with the delusion that two and two makes five, he fell, at last a victim to the relentless rulesf humble Arithmetic. “Remember, stranger, Arithmetic is the firstf the sciences and the motherf safety.” Brandeis. It is the aimf this little book to point the way to a new science and art—the science and artf Human Engineering. By Human Engineering I mean the science and artf directing the energies and capacitiesf human beings to the advancementf human weal. It need not be argued in these times that the establishmentf such a science—the sciencef human welfare—is an undertakingf immeasurable importance. None can fail to see that its importance is supreme. It is evident that, if such a science is to be established it must be foundedn ascertained facts—it must accord with what is characteristicf Man—it must be based upon a just conceptionf what Man ] is—upon a right understandingf Man's place in the schemef Nature. None need be told how indispensable it is to have true ideas—just concepts—correct notions—of the things with which we humans have to deal; everyone knows for example, that to mistake solids for surfacesr lines would wreck the science and artf geometry; anyone knows that to confuse fractions with whole numbers would wreck the science and artf arithmetic; everyone knows that to mistake vice for virtue would destroy the foundationf ethics; everyone knows that to mistake a desert mirage for a lakef fresh water does but lure the fainting traveler to dire disappointmentr death. Now, it is perfectly clear thatf all the things with which human beings have to deal, the most important by far is Man himself—humankind—men, women and children. It follows that for us human beings nothing else can be quite so important as a clear, true, just, scientific conceptf Man—a right understandingf what we as human beings really are. For it requires no great wisdom, it needsnly a little reflection, to see that, if we humans radically misconceive the naturef man—if we regard man as being something which he is not, whether it be something higher than manr lower—we thereby commit an error so fundamental and far reaching as to produce ] every mannerf confusion and disaster in individual life, in community life and in the lifef the race.

Book Synopsis Between Past and Future by : Hannah Arendt
Download or read book Between Past and Future written by Hannah Arendt and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-09-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Eichmann in Jerusalem and The Origins of Totalitarianism, “a book to think with through the political impasses and cultural confusions of our day” (Harper’s Magazine) Hannah Arendt’s insightful observations of the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, constitute an impassioned contribution to political philosophy. In Between Past and Future Arendt describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through a series of eight exercises, she shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future. To participate in these exercises is to associate, in action, with one of the most original and fruitful minds of the twentieth century.

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Here are the great minds of Western civilization and their pivotal ideas, from Plato to Hegel, from Augustine to Nietzsche, from Copernicus to Freud.

Book Synopsis Lectures on Ancient Philosophy by : Manly P. Hall
Download or read book Lectures on Ancient Philosophy written by Manly P. Hall and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-09-08 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete in itself, this volume originated as a commentary and expansion of Manly P. Hall's masterpiece of symbolic philosophy, The Secret Teachings of All Ages. In Lectures on Ancient Philosophy, Manly P. Hall expands on the philosophical, metaphysical, and cosmological themes introduced in his classic work, The Secret Teachings of All Ages. Hall wrote this volume as a reader's companion to his earlier work, intending it for those wishing to delve more deeply into the esoteric philosophies and ideas that undergird the Secret Teachings. Particular attention is paid to Neoplatonism, ancient Christianity, Rosicrucian and Freemasonic traditions, ancient mysteries, pagan rites and symbols, and Pythagorean mathematics. First published in 1929-the year after the publication of Hall's magnum opus-this edition includes the author's original subject index, twenty diagrams prepared under his supervision for the volume, and his 1984 preface, which puts the book in context for the contemporary reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The psychology classic—a detailed study of scientific theories of human nature and the possible ways in which human behavior can be predicted and controlled—from one of the most influential behaviorists of the twentieth century and the author of Walden Two. “This is an important book, exceptionally well written, and logically consistent with the basic premise of the unitary nature of science. Many students of society and culture would take violent issue with most of the things that Skinner has to say, but even those who disagree most will find this a stimulating book.” —Samuel M. Strong, The American Journal of Sociology “This is a remarkable book—remarkable in that it presents a strong, consistent, and all but exhaustive case for a natural science of human behavior…It ought to be…valuable for those whose preferences lie with, as well as those whose preferences stand against, a behavioristic approach to human activity.” —Harry Prosch, Ethics
