Book excerpt: Tom Mishkin is piloting another routine supply flight when he hears an unusual noise and gets the distressing news: He’s about to be stranded on a backward planet and forced to hike across unknown and probably hostile terrain to find a cache of spare parts and get going again. Mishkin’s journey introduces him to strange aliens like a five-headed man-eating snake with Mob connections as his trek slowly warps into a metaphysical search for his soul and the meaning of human existence . . .

Book Synopsis Experience and Theory by : Stephan Korner
Download or read book Experience and Theory written by Stephan Korner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1966. This volume analyzes the general structure of scientific theories, their relation to experience and to non-scientific thought. Part One is concerned with the logic underlying empirical discourse before its subjection to the various constraints, imposed by the logico-mathematical framework of scientific theories upon their content. Part Two is devoted to an examination of this framework and, in particular, to showing that the deductive organization of a field of experience is by that very act a modification of empirical discourse and an idealization of its subject matter. Part Three analyzes the concordance between theories and experience and the relevance of science to moral and religious beliefs.
Book Synopsis Mobile Bodies, Mobile Souls by : Karen Fog Olwig
Download or read book Mobile Bodies, Mobile Souls written by Karen Fog Olwig and published by Aarhus Universitetsforlag. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobile Bodies, Mobile Souls engages the complex relationship between family, religion and migration. Following '9/11', much research on migrants in western societies has focused on the public and political dimensions of religion. This volume starts out 'from below', exploring how religious ideas and practices take form, are negotiated and contested within the private domain of the home, household and family. Bringing together ethnographic studies from different parts of the world, it explores the role of religious ideas and practices in migrants' efforts to sustain, create and contest moral and social orders in the context of their everyday life. The ethnographic analyses show how religious practices and imaginaries both enable engagement with new social settings and offer a means of connecting and reconnecting with people and places left behind. Offering a comparative perspective on the varying ways in which religious practices and notions of relatedness interconnect and shape each other, the book sheds new light on a comtemporary global world inhabited by mobile bodies and souls.

Download or read book The Mind written by Jean de Climont and published by Editions d Assailly. This book was released on with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay is a system of mind based upon Platon, saint Augustine and Kant philosophical systems. Independent criteria are necessary for mind to judge experiment. Criteria are either relative determinations of perceived objects of the experimental world kept in mind by the memory, or absolute concepts such as freedom and truth or space and time. These absolute concepts cannot be copies of objects of the experimental world, because we have no means to perceive them. We can only perceive relative objects because perception is itself a relation. Mind has a direct access to these absolute concepts. This essay is in line with the Hegelian separation between philosophy and theology, i.e. between the transcendental and the theological worlds.
Book Synopsis End-of-Art Philosophy in Hegel, Nietzsche and Danto by : Stephen Snyder
Download or read book End-of-Art Philosophy in Hegel, Nietzsche and Danto written by Stephen Snyder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the little understood end-of-art theses of Hegel, Nietzsche, and Danto. The end-of-art claim is often associated with the end of a certain standard of taste or skill. However, at a deeper level, it relates to a transformation in how we philosophically understand our relation to the ‘world’. Hegel, Nietzsche, and Danto each strive philosophically to overcome Cartesian dualism, redrawing the traditional lines between mind and matter. Hegel sees the overcoming of the material in the ideal, Nietzsche levels the two worlds into one, and Danto divides the world into representing and non-representing material. These attempts to overcome dualism necessitate notions of the self that differ significantly from traditional accounts; the redrawn boundaries show that art and philosophy grasp essential but different aspects of human existence. Neither perspective, however, fully grasps the duality. The appearance of art’s end occurs when one aspect is given priority: for Hegel and Danto, it is the essentialist lens of philosophy, and, in Nietzsche’s case, the transformative power of artistic creativity. Thus, the book makes the case that the end-of-art claim is avoided if a theory of art links the internal practice of artistic creation to all of art’s historical forms.

Book Synopsis The 10th Victim by : Robert Sheckley
Download or read book The 10th Victim written by Robert Sheckley and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s the twenty-first century and the ugliness of war no longer exists, except on a very personal level. Nowadays, people like Marcello Polletti, seller of Roman sunsets, and Caroline Meredith, lithe, beautiful, blond, and backed by corporate sponsors and the Roy Bell Dancers, hunt, chase, and kill one another for sport and for the entertainment of the masses—until something oddly like personal human feelings pops up to confuse the players and up the stakes as each of them seeks to kill a tenth victim and rise in the ranks of the hunters. From the very beginning of his career, Robert Sheckley was recognized by fans, reviewers, and fellow authors as a master storyteller and the wittiest satirist working in the science fiction field. Open Road is proud to republish his acclaimed body of work, with nearly thirty volumes of full-length fiction and short story collections.
