Book Synopsis Science and Religion by : Yves Gingras
Download or read book Science and Religion written by Yves Gingras and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we hear renewed calls for a dialogue between science and religion: why has the old question of the relations between science and religion now returned to the public domain and what is at stake in this debate? To answer these questions, historian and sociologist of science Yves Gingras retraces the long history of the troubled relationship between science and religion, from the condemnation of Galileo for heresy in 1633 until his rehabilitation by John Paul II in 1992. He reconstructs the process of the gradual separation of science from theology and religion, showing how God and natural theology became marginalized in the scientific field in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In contrast to the dominant trend among historians of science, Gingras argues that science and religion are social institutions that give rise to incompatible ways of knowing, rooted in different methodologies and forms of knowledge, and that there never was, and cannot be, a genuine dialogue between them. Wide-ranging and authoritative, this new book on one of the fundamental questions of Western thought will be of great interest to students and scholars of the history of science and of religion as well as to general readers who are intrigued by the new and much-publicized conversations about the alleged links between science and religion.

Book Synopsis Ultimate Explanations of the Universe by : Michael Heller
Download or read book Ultimate Explanations of the Universe written by Michael Heller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We humans are collectively driven by a powerful - yet not fully explained - instinct to understand. We would like to see everything established, proven, laid bare. The more important an issue, the more we desire to see it clarified, stripped of all secrets, all shades of gray. What could be more important than to understand the Universe and ourselves as a part of it? To find a window onto our origin and our destiny? This book examines how far our modern cosmological theories - with their sometimes audacious models, such as inflation, cyclic histories, quantum creation, parallel universes - can take us towards answering these questions. Can such theories lead us to ultimate truths, leaving nothing unexplained? Last, but not least, Heller addresses the thorny problem of why and whether we should expect to find theories with all-encompassing explicative power.

Book Synopsis On Leadership, Salad, and the American Revolution by : James Triplett
Download or read book On Leadership, Salad, and the American Revolution written by James Triplett and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of literature surrounding the notion of leadership may be characterized as a sea of potential explanations littered with the debris of academic and professional models - both empirical and conjecture - that may have been useful for a given point in time or situation. One is left wondering whether there is one defining view of leadership that may at least come close to being considered universal. The result of this wondering is a view on leadership that may, or may not, end up like the debris floating on the sea of possibilities previously mentioned. All of this is framed within the context of pre- and post-Revolutionary War America. The efficacy of the result is up to the reader to discern.

Book Synopsis The Theoretical Foundation of Physical Reality by : Thomas Nordström
Download or read book The Theoretical Foundation of Physical Reality written by Thomas Nordström and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis in the book starts with questioning existing postulates and introducing one new postulate: Nothing exists in isolation, i.e. everything exists in relations. Then, based on this postulate, a principle is formulated and a theory that takes us further and deeper into the physical reality. 1. The thesis is that in the physical reality continuous flows of packages moves in “tubes” between all systems resulting in gravitation, force and energy. These flows contain all mass in Universe, including dark matter and dark energy, i.e. the same principle rules at all levels of the physical reality. 2. The equation E=mc2 is inquired, where Einstein ́s own criterion for a complete theory that “every element of the physical reality must have a counterpart in the physical theory”, raises the question which element the concept c2 has in the physical reality. How do we deal with this contradiction? 3. The principle of relations launces a new explanation of the equation E=mc2, which has impacts on the general theory of relativity and then it is possible with a new interpretation of gravitation, which is demonstrated. 4. In the last chapter everything ends in one formula (equation), which is the most important dealing with the theoretical foundation of physical reality, uniting the theories of relativity and quantum, with dark matter and dark energy. Whether you're ready for a new perspective on the world or not, this book will provoke your brain into reexamining everything you think you know about the physical reality.
Book Synopsis The History of Mathematics: A Source-Based Approach, Volume 2 by : June Barrow-Green
Download or read book The History of Mathematics: A Source-Based Approach, Volume 2 written by June Barrow-Green and published by American Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 703 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Mathematics: A Source-Based Approach is a comprehensive history of the development of mathematics. This, the second volume of a two-volume set, takes the reader from the invention of the calculus to the beginning of the twentieth century. The initial discoverers of calculus are given thorough investigation, and special attention is also paid to Newton's Principia. The eighteenth century is presented as primarily a period of the development of calculus, particularly in differential equations and applications of mathematics. Mathematics blossomed in the nineteenth century and the book explores progress in geometry, analysis, foundations, algebra, and applied mathematics, especially celestial mechanics. The approach throughout is markedly historiographic: How do we know what we know? How do we read the original documents? What are the institutions supporting mathematics? Who are the people of mathematics? The reader learns not only the history of mathematics, but also how to think like a historian. The two-volume set was designed as a textbook for the authors' acclaimed year-long course at the Open University. It is, in addition to being an innovative and insightful textbook, an invaluable resource for students and scholars of the history of mathematics. The authors, each among the most distinguished mathematical historians in the world, have produced over fifty books and earned scholarly and expository prizes from the major mathematical societies of the English-speaking world.
Book Synopsis The Logical Leap by : David Harriman
Download or read book The Logical Leap written by David Harriman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking solution to the problem of induction, based on Ayn Rand's theory of concepts. Inspired by and expanding on a series of lectures presented by Leonard Peikoff, David Harriman presents a fascinating answer to the problem of induction-the epistemological question of how we can know the truth of inductive generalizations. Ayn Rand presented her revolutionary theory of concepts in her book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology. As Dr. Peikoff subsequently explored the concept of induction, he sought out David Harriman, a physicist who had taught philosophy, for his expert knowledge of the scientific discovery process. Here, Harriman presents the result of a collaboration between scientist and philosopher. Beginning with a detailed discussion of the role of mathematics and experimentation in validating generalizations in physics-looking closely at the reasoning of scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Lavoisier, and Maxwell-Harriman skillfully argues that the inductive method used in philosophy is in principle indistinguishable from the method used in physics.
Book Synopsis Concepts of Modern Physics by : Mendel Sachs
Download or read book Concepts of Modern Physics written by Mendel Sachs and published by Imperial College Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights foundational issues in theoretical physics in an informal, open style of lecture. It expresses the flow of ideas in physics OCo from the period of Galileo and Newton to the contemporary ideas of the quantum and relativity theories, astrophysics and cosmology OCo as explanations for the laws of matter. Rather than presenting the ideas of physics as a fait accompli, the book leaves it up to the reader to decide which of these 20th-century ideas in science will carry over to the 21st century for our further comprehension of the laws of nature in all domains, from that of elementary particles to cosmology. It is the contention of the author that our future progress in physics comprehension will only take place when the foundational controversies between the quantum and relativity theories are recognized and discussion is given to their resolution. The book, therefore, presents an attitude not normally taken in other present-day books on subjects in contemporary theoretical physics and cosmology. Sample Chapter(s). Lecture I: Philosophy of Science (83 KB). Contents: Philosophy of Science; Classical Precursors for the Concepts of Modern Physics; Nineteenth Century Physics: Atomism and Continuity; Early Anomalies and Elementary Particles; From the Old Quantum Theory to Quantum Mechanics; Quantum Mechanics: Heisenberg''s Matrix Mechanics and the Copenhagen School; Concepts of the Theory of Relativity; From Special to General Relativity; The Universe; Conflicts in the Foundations of the Quantum and Relativity Theories.

Book Synopsis Riding the Windhorse by : Robert S. Corrington
Download or read book Riding the Windhorse written by Robert S. Corrington and published by Hamilton Books. This book was released on 2003-07-07 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this moving account of his struggles with manic-depressive disorder, distinguished philosopher Robert S. Corrington, creator of the school of ecstatic naturalism, presents a compelling argument for rethinking the nature of this malady. Having inherited the disorder from his mother, a gifted actress who struggled with her own form of it until her death, he developed crucial survival strategies that he recommends to other sufferers. In Riding the Windhorse, Corrington details the latest medical, psychological, and spiritual thinking about bipolar disease; a disorder characterized by extreme mood swings and responsible for many untimely deaths each year. Surprisingly, however, manic-depression is also found in almost all forms of genius and Corrington presents two detailed case studies showing this correlation. Riding the Windhorse represents one person's eventual triumph over a potentially crippling disease by demonstrating how creativity and the quest for wholeness can support the erratic flight of the windhorse of manic-depression.

Book Synopsis The System of the World by : Isaac Newton
Download or read book The System of the World written by Isaac Newton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The System of the World by Isaac Newton. The process of writing that first edition of the Principia went through several stages and drafts: some parts of the preliminary materials still survive, while others are lost except for fragments and cross-references in other documents. Surviving materials show that Newton (up to some time in 1685) conceived his book as a two-volume work. The first volume was to be titled De motu corporum, Liber primus, with contents that later appeared in extended form as Book 1 of the Principia. A fair-copy draft of Newton's planned second volume De motu corporum, Liber secundus survives, its completion dated to about the summer of 1685. It covers the application of the results of Liber primus to the Earth, the Moon, the tides, the solar system, and the universe; in this respect it has much the same purpose as the final Book 3 of the Principia, but it is written much less formally and is more easily read. 'It was the ancient opinion of not a few, in the earliest ages of philosophy, that the fixed stars stood immoveable in the highest parts of the world; that, under the fixed stars the planets were carried about the sun; that the earth, us one of the planets, described an annual course about the sun, while by a diurnal motion it was in the mean time revolved about its own axis; and that the sun, as the common fire which served to warm the whole, was fixed in the centre of the universe. This was the philosophy taught of old by Philolaus, Aristarchus of Samos, Plato in his riper years, and the whole sect of the Pythagoreans; and this was the judgment of Anaximander, more ancient than any of them; and of that wise king of the Romans, Numa Pompilius, who, as a symbol of the figure of the world with the sun in the centre, erected a temple in honour of Vesta, of a round form, and ordained perpetual fire to be kept in the middle of it.'
