Download or read book A Forest of Symbols written by Andrei Pop and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking reassessment of Symbolist artists and writers that investigates the concerns they shared with scientists of the period—the problem of subjectivity in particular. In A Forest of Symbols, Andrei Pop presents a groundbreaking reassessment of those writers and artists in the late nineteenth century associated with the Symbolist movement. For Pop, “symbolist” denotes an art that is self-conscious about its modes of making meaning, and he argues that these symbolist practices, which sought to provide more direct access to viewers and readers by constant revision of its material means of meaning-making (brushstrokes on a canvas, words on a page), are crucial to understanding the genesis of modern art. The symbolists saw art not as a social revolution, but as a revolution in sense and how to conceptualize the world. The concerns of symbolist painters and poets were shared to a remarkable degree by theoretical scientists of the period, who were dissatisfied with the strict empiricism dominant in their disciplines, which made shared knowledge seem unattainable. The problem of subjectivity in particular, of what in one's experience can and cannot be shared, was crucial to the possibility of collaboration within science and to the communication of artistic innovation. Pop offers close readings of the literary and visual practices of Manet and Mallarmé, of drawings by Ernst Mach, William James and Wittgenstein, of experiments with color by Bracquemond and Van Gogh, and of the philosophical systems of Frege and Russell—filling in a startling but coherent picture of the symbolist heritage of modernity and its consequences.
Download or read book Artempo written by Axel Vervoordt and published by Mer/Paper Kunsthalle. This book was released on 2007 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of our actions occur in space. Life itself evolves through time. Space and time and the cosmos have intrigued mankind since the dawn of civilization. They have captured like no other subject, and continue to do so, the imagination of artists, philosophers and scientists alike, and have prompted responses such as Stonehenge, the Mayan calendar, and many modern work. To mention only a few; James Turell's admirable explorations of light and infinite space; Tatsuo Miyajima's fascination with space and time, which expresses humankind's need to link it's existence to the vast expanse of the universe; Anish Kapoor's investigations into metaphysical polarities like presence and absence, being and non-being, darkness and light. Their work as well as the ones presented in Artempo, are a re-examination of the relationship between nature and the man-made world, a re-evaluation of our perceptions of reality of how we read the information, meaning, and poetry in the physical world around us.

Download or read book Paladin written by Ed Vergara and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love—we are all seeking it; the quest for it is universal. Even so, how much do we really know about it? Can we really understand its secrets and find love everlasting? Paladin: The Seven Dimensions of Love explores these and many other questions about one of the greatest forces in the universe. Using the story of Paladin as a framework, Ed Vergara not only examines the many facets of love but also helps us discover its meaning and purpose in our own lives. With this deeper understanding comes a greater ability to both love and be loved. Paladin has learned about the universe and time from a beautiful genie and is ready to apply his knowledge to his everyday life and relationships. Still, he realizes that knowledge without purpose is meaningless and a life without love is empty. When the genie reveals herself as a messenger from God and Paladin’s angel, he embarks on yet another journey of discovery. Do you long to know how to love and be loved? Are you curious to know how the Creator of the Universe can take you to the next dimension of love? Paladin’s explorations are both personal and universal, weaving together themes such as fear, gratitude, and trust, as well as how love overcomes or works with each one. Ultimately his discoveries can inspire you to follow your own heart, find the source of eternal love, and live life to the fullest.

Book Synopsis No Mud, No Lotus by : Thich Nhat Hanh
Download or read book No Mud, No Lotus written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret to happiness is to acknowledge and transform suffering, not to run away from it. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers practices and inspiration transforming suffering and finding true joy. Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us. Nhat Hanh shares how the practices of stopping, mindful breathing, and deep concentration can generate the energy of mindfulness within our daily lives. With that energy, we can embrace pain and calm it down, instantly bringing a measure of freedom and a clearer mind. No Mud, No Lotus introduces ways to be in touch with suffering without being overwhelmed by it. "When we know how to suffer," Nhat Hanh says, "we suffer much, much less." With his signature clarity and sense of joy, Thich Nhat Hanh helps us recognize the wonders inside us and around us that we tend to take for granted and teaches us the art of happiness.
Download or read book Pararealities written by Floyd Merrell and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to inquire, from a broad epistemological view, into the underlying nature of fictions, and above all, to discover how it is possible to create and process them. In Chapter One, I put forth four "postulates" in the form of though experiments. in Chapter Two I turn attention to make-believe, imaginary, and dream worlds, and how they can be conceived and perceived only with respect to the/a "real world." Chapter Three includes a discussion of the affinities and differences between one's tacit knowledge of certain aspects of the number system in arithmetic (an ordered series) and the range of all possible fictional entities (an unordered network). In Chapter Four I establish more precisely the relations between one's "real world" and one's fictional worlds in light of the conclusions from Chapter Three. And, in Chapter Five, I attempt to construct a formal model with which to account for the construction of all possible fictional sentences.
Book Synopsis The Cradle of True Art by : Harold Salkin
Download or read book The Cradle of True Art written by Harold Salkin and published by Arena Books Limited. This book was released on 2015-04 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few thinking people today who would doubt that world humanity has reached a moral crisis point. And the crisis is of such a magnitude that the majority either close their minds to its existence out of a feeling of despair, or else are unable to detect its meaning for the future. This is a book pleading for a fundamental change in human thinking as the evidence of history indicates that any lesser attempt might lead to a catastrophe too horrible to contemplate. The great lesson of the author's life is that nothing is as important as the people in your life, and it is the quality of those people who influence your life for good or ill. This book is one more attempt to shine a light into the darkness, so we may find a path to extricate ourselves from the wilderness ahead. The difference this time, however, is that the writer does not claim to approach the eminence of such thinkers as Erich Fromm, Bertrand Russell, or Noam Chomsky, nor does he claim to match the status of Orwell, Camus, or Silone. The uniqueness of this book is that its perspective is that of an ordinary man who has lived his life as experienced by millions of modest people in a small town environment. Out of the white pages of this book emerges the simple voice of an self-effacing, self-educated man, endowed with the accrued experience and considered thoughts of an octogenarian who still strives to enjoy life and its benefits through the strength which is still offered. This book is not only thought-provoking but inspiring for all those seeking answers to the bigger questions of existence.
Book Synopsis Mathematics and Art by : Lynn Gamwell
Download or read book Mathematics and Art written by Lynn Gamwell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a cultural history of mathematics and art, from antiquity to the present. Mathematicians and artists have long been on a quest to understand the physical world they see before them and the abstract objects they know by thought alone. Taking readers on a tour of the practice of mathematics and the philosophical ideas that drive the discipline, Lynn Gamwell points out the important ways mathematical concepts have been expressed by artists. Sumptuous illustrations of artworks and cogent math diagrams are featured in Gamwell's comprehensive exploration. Gamwell begins by describing mathematics from antiquity to the Enlightenment, including Greek, Islamic, and Asian mathematics. Then focusing on modern culture, Gamwell traces mathematicians' search for the foundations of their science, such as David Hilbert's conception of mathematics as an arrangement of meaning-free signs, as well as artists' search for the essence of their craft, such as Aleksandr Rodchenko's monochrome paintings. She shows that self-reflection is inherent to the practice of both modern mathematics and art, and that this introspection points to a deep resonance between the two fields: Kurt Gödel posed questions about the nature of mathematics in the language of mathematics and Jasper Johns asked "What is art?" in the vocabulary of art. Throughout, Gamwell describes the personalities and cultural environments of a multitude of mathematicians and artists, from Gottlob Frege and Benoît Mandelbrot to Max Bill and Xu Bing. Mathematics and Art demonstrates how mathematical ideas are embodied in the visual arts and will enlighten all who are interested in the complex intellectual pursuits, personalities, and cultural settings that connect these vast disciplines.
Download or read book First Thoughts written by Ken & Val Baker and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compilation of four previously published, rather slenderer books, entitled The God of More than Enough, Christ the Hope of Glory, According to the Power and This Hope we Have. It appears now by popular request in one volume to encourage the reading and reflection on God's word every morning. It also contains the revised script of an E-book from some years back, entitled "First Thoughts: Be My First Thought in the Morning." As a couple, we always try to start and finish each day centred on God's word, to let it be our first thought and our last thought. And so First Thoughts still seems to be an appropriate title for the present volume. There's a theme that comes consistently to the surface wherever we travel: it's the theme of God's supply. Everywhere we go, we find people hungry for the truth that God is all we need, that He is our supplier, that He provides for every single situation. So here are some of those verses that have blessed us in that discovery.
Book Synopsis A Musicians Paradox: The Ups, Downs, and Ebb and Flow of Being a Pensive Musician by : Ty Kiernan
Download or read book A Musicians Paradox: The Ups, Downs, and Ebb and Flow of Being a Pensive Musician written by Ty Kiernan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Musician's Paradox author and lifelong working musician Ty Kiernan explores the intersection of music and philosophy with a series of philosophical discussions on life, human behavior, music, faith, relationships, and the connection between musician and instrument. Being torn between two worlds-with the frustration, the insecurity, and the dearth of understanding about why musicians play music, all the while loving and not being able to give up an obsession with music itself-he focuses on the particular psyche of the musician but appeals to all who contemplate this almost inherent duality of their own existence. Music is life and life is music, and music can ultimately transmute into wisdom-that is, it can raise our consciousness to help wisdom flow within us. For the musician-and perhaps for everyone-thinking about these connections and the relationship between cause and effect in general may offer us a clue into the possibility of something more in our lives.

This book was released on with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of 'From Darkness to Light' is a compilation of articles penned by the editors of Prabuddha Bharata, the English journal of the Ramakrishna Order started by Swami Vivekananda in 1896. The articles of the first editor B R Rajam Iyer(1896) to the thirty-sixth editor Swami Narasimhananda (2014) make up this volume. In these writings the readers get a glimpse into the various issues that have been the point of focus right from the early days of the journal in 1896 up to the recent times, how there has been a central idea consistently running through all of them, the idea of the spiritual awakening of humanity and India, and yet how the style of presentation has undergone change over a period of time with the change of editors. This makes for a fascinating reading & study. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India.
