Download or read book The Humanities, the Social Sciences and the University written by Harry Redner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Humanities, the Social Sciences and the University is an intellectual history of research in the humanities and social sciences. It scrutinizes the priorities, values, objectives and publishing agendas of the modern university in order to assess the institutional pressures on research in major disciplines such as literature, history, sociology and economics. It argues that all these disciplines are currently experiencing a deep malaise – though to different degrees – due to loss of faith in the Enlightenment project, which entailed the pursuit of knowledge through reason. Extreme scepticism, promoted since the 1970s by French Theory, which regards knowledge as an instrument of power, is a major factor in this disorientation. Overall, the book concludes that though universities have grown stronger, wealthier and more powerful in the last century, the quality and seriousness of the research they typically produce are weaker and intellectually less important and the institution is in danger of losing its way. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, education and intellectual history with interests in higher education policy and academic life.

Book Synopsis The Quintessence of Dust: If Humans Aren’t Dust, What Are They? by : David Sinclair
Download or read book The Quintessence of Dust: If Humans Aren’t Dust, What Are They? written by David Sinclair and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you self-organizing dust that becomes alive if it is arranged in just the right way? Are you dust that had life breathed into it by "God", as the Book of Genesis says? Are you dust that links to a mind and is animated by the mind so long as the link remains functional? Well, what are you? Do you know? If you don't know, shouldn't you be trying to know? Go on, what is your quintessence? Write it down. If you can't, what does that say about you? Here's an astounding thing. Feeling types, sensing types, intuitive types and thinking types all have totally different ideas about the "dust" from which the Bible said we came. Do you understand why? Come inside and find out why you hold the beliefs you do. Your beliefs would be totally different if you had a different personality type. Doesn't that disturb you? If you were born in a different part of the world, to different parents, you would have completely different religious beliefs. Equally, if you were born with a different personality type, you would relate entirely differently to the world and believe totally different things about the nature of reality. Don't you want to rise above all these contingencies and know what the absolute, objective truth is? Why not?!

Book Synopsis Matter, Mind and Meaning by : Whately Carington
Download or read book Matter, Mind and Meaning written by Whately Carington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is concerned with the philosophical foundations of Psychical Research. Traditional metaphysical theories have led to apparently insoluble problems concerning the nature of mind, of matter and the relation between the two. The author holds that these theories arise from misconception about the way in which words acquire meaning. His aim is to show that once the relation between words and the experienceable entities which they mean is clearly understood, these seemingly insoluble problems disappear, and the metaphysical theories which give rise to them are seen to be literally nonsensical. The philosophy which results is a radically empirical one, a form of Neutral Monism. The book intended to ‘clear the decks’ for Psychical Research by removing certain traditional pseudo-problems, but it will be of interest to all who followed the revival of Empiricist Philosophy, whether they are students of Psychical Research or not. It is written in a pithy and sparkling style, with a minimum of technical terms, and serves as an introduction to Empiricist Philosophy. Originally published 1949.

Christopher Sinclair is an alchemist who cares only about one thing: quintessence, a substance he believes will grant magical powers and immortality. And he has a ship.
Book Synopsis Mind into Matter by : Fred Alan Wolf
Download or read book Mind into Matter written by Fred Alan Wolf and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A physicist examines ideas from medieval alchemy and contemporary science to explore the connection between mind and matter. Alchemists of old attempted to make sense of the universe—to discover the connection between mind and matter. Some of today’s scientists, in particular quantum physicists, are doing the same. In this contribution to the study of consciousness, physicist Fred Alan Wolf reveals what he calls the “new alchemy” —a melding of the ideas of the old alchemists and the new scientists to reach a fuller understanding of mind and matter. An elegant book with short, stand-alone chapters, each framed by an alchemical symbol and its definition, Mind into Matter is thought provoking for scientists and lay people alike. Praise for Mind into Matter “I consider Fred Alan Wolf one of the most important pioneers in the field of consciousness. This book could change the way you perceive the world.” —Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, author of How to Know God “Once again, physicist Fred Alan Wolf takes us on a magical mystery tour into the adventure land of science and spirit. . . . Both enthralling and energizing.” —Michael Toms, cofounder, host, producer of New Dimensions Radio “How refreshing to have a scientist put the emphasis on the individual where it belongs! Wolf has written a glorious entertainment for the mind that matters.” —Kenneth Ring, PhD, author of Lessons from the Light “[A]llows readers to look at their own inner mechanism and better understand the consciousness which gives them life and makes them aware of the outer world of forms and phenomena in which they live.” —Glen P. Kezwer, Ph.D., physicist, author of Meditation, Oneness and Physics

Book Synopsis Quantum Learning Beyond Duality by : Conrad P. Pritscher
Download or read book Quantum Learning Beyond Duality written by Conrad P. Pritscher and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2001 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows quantum learning is the resource that unites parts into wholes and then wholes into continually larger wholes. Just as quantum computers can regard sub-atomic particles as a wave and as particles, quantum learning can understand learners as simultaneously nondual (whole) and dual (part). The study includes a reconsideration of clarity in expression and thought

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matter and Spirit: A Study of Mind and Body in Their Relation, to the Spiritual Life The principal excuse for a new book on the eternal problem of matter and mind is just the fact that the problem is eternal. And not only is it eternal it is so complex that there is no end of illuminating ways in which it may be presented. A further ex cuse, if it be needed, is to be found in the many new attitudes toward the question which contemporary thought has suggested. A fairly rapid survey of the various answers, old and new, which have been given to our question - a bird's eye View, so to speak, of this ancient problem in its modern setting - seems to be called for by the times in which we live. The need for such a review becomes more patent the mo ment one stops to consider the absolutely central place of the mind-body problem in metaphysical speculation, and the fundamental nature of meta physics in knowledge and in life. If we knew just how mind affects body and how body affects mind we should have the dew to many a philosophical riddle, and a clew that would give us much-needed guidance not only in philosophy but in many a.

Book Synopsis Matter, Qualia, Mind and Cosmos by : Tony Brussat
Download or read book Matter, Qualia, Mind and Cosmos written by Tony Brussat and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MATTER, QUALIA, MIND AND COSMOS places both science and religion on the sidelines to cheer on the qualiadelic explanation of consciousness. Qualia has been an elephant in the room for 2500 years. The philosophers always notice it but they can never quite explain it away. Now, in an imaginitive and logical description of the relationship between qualia and matter, consciousness has been explained in a way that makes its appearance inevitable. Beginning with the big bang itself, MATTER, QUALIA, MIND AND COSMOS reveals how qualia and matter have interacted to produce all we know from the original laws of physics to the intellectual love of God. Consciousness has been explained and points the way to a new understanding, and therefore a remaking, of the Universe.
