Last words from my Laugher--Tolerance--Faith and Reason--A simile--The Garden of God--A worldflower--" Fare thee well." "To-night," I began, but my bronze interrupted. "To-night," he said, with a strange mystery hidden in his silver voice--" To-night, child of man, you shall give heed to me. Know, first, that this is the fiftieth evening we have had speech together--the fiftieth, and the last. Before I speak again, you and yours, and your children, and your children's children, and the work of your hands and brains, and perchance the pomp of your nation will all be dust; for, ere then, the world shall roll through five hundred more years. Who knows, indeed, that my own battered bronze carcase will hold together so long?" "This is a blow to me," said I; "and it shows the folly of not keeping careful diaries of the great concerns of life. I had thought that many days of intercourse still extended before us. But speak as you will, and let me listen. If you have a mind to sum up now the opinions this brief glimpse of human life has brought to you, I pray you speak. "So be it then. For myself, know this; I take my leave willingly enough, for to me this age is painful above all other ages my eyes have opened upon. To-day landmarks are vanishing with mournful rapidity; certainties grow fewer; theories flood the world in a deluge worse than Deucalion's. Knowledge cows all mankind. It is a lighthouse--a star-glimmer serving to show the awful darkness of the delta that tends towards Truth. I use the word ' delta' of set purpose. There is no straight road or river leading to truth, but a delta of a thousand arteries. Science plods here, Religion there; and all the arteries are very meet to be explored; all command exploration; all...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Laughing Philosopher The Philosopher purchased for one guinea - In Wardour Street with Talbot - His presumption and folly The connoisseur attempts to crush him - And fails My bronze bust. Humour, said my Laughing Philosopher, is an attribute of God. I asked him whether the idea was original, and he answered that, so far as he knew, it might be; and that, at any rate, it was true. Then we argued upon the question. But before I record our conclusions, or the con versation which led my Philosopher to make the aforesaid remark, I shall tell you something concerning him. Frankly, I acquired him in Wardour Street for the paltry sum of one guinea. There never was any mystery about the matter, and my Laugher himself, with that fine philo sophic spirit which characterizes so many of his utterances, has often told me that I made a bad bargain.

Book Synopsis Mathematics without Apologies by : Michael Harris
Download or read book Mathematics without Apologies written by Michael Harris and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful reflection on the mathematical soul What do pure mathematicians do, and why do they do it? Looking beyond the conventional answers—for the sake of truth, beauty, and practical applications—this book offers an eclectic panorama of the lives and values and hopes and fears of mathematicians in the twenty-first century, assembling material from a startlingly diverse assortment of scholarly, journalistic, and pop culture sources. Drawing on his personal experiences and obsessions as well as the thoughts and opinions of mathematicians from Archimedes and Omar Khayyám to such contemporary giants as Alexander Grothendieck and Robert Langlands, Michael Harris reveals the charisma and romance of mathematics as well as its darker side. In this portrait of mathematics as a community united around a set of common intellectual, ethical, and existential challenges, he touches on a wide variety of questions, such as: Are mathematicians to blame for the 2008 financial crisis? How can we talk about the ideas we were born too soon to understand? And how should you react if you are asked to explain number theory at a dinner party? Disarmingly candid, relentlessly intelligent, and richly entertaining, Mathematics without Apologies takes readers on an unapologetic guided tour of the mathematical life, from the philosophy and sociology of mathematics to its reflections in film and popular music, with detours through the mathematical and mystical traditions of Russia, India, medieval Islam, the Bronx, and beyond.

Book Synopsis Humor, Laughter and Human Flourishing by : Mordechai Gordon
Download or read book Humor, Laughter and Human Flourishing written by Mordechai Gordon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a philosophical investigation of the significance of humor and laughter, examining its relation to other human phenomena including truth, nihilism, dreams, friendship, intimacy, aesthetic experience, self-transcendence and education. The author addresses the relative neglect of humor and laughter among philosophers of education with this volume, where the focus is on the significance of humor and laughter for human flourishing. Central questions are threaded through this work: What does the study of humor and laughter bring to philosophy and specifically to philosophy of education? How is humorist thinking different from other modes of human knowing? What might happen if we were to respond to the absurdity of human existence with humor and laughter? What insights can be learned from a philosophical investigation of humor in relationship to other human phenomena such as dreams, friendship, intimacy, aesthetic experience and self-transcendence? And, finally, how can humor and laughter enhance human existence and flourishing? The author presents groundbreaking insights into what can be gained from a study of humor and laughter about human existence in general and flourishing in particular. This work will be of interest to philosophers, especially philosophers of education, as well as to teachers and educators. Its unique blend of philosophical investigation and humorous discourse is both a rigorous and accessible analysis of humor.
