Book Synopsis Ma'atic Balance by : Elliot S. S Winfield
Download or read book Ma'atic Balance written by Elliot S. S Winfield and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This segment of the beginning of Ma'atic Balance: The Law of Unity of Opposites demonstrates throughout each chapter the composer's dexterous ability to be in sync and command of his acute intellectual quality of intuition. A phenomenal craftiness of a unique, dramatic, and poetic style of harmony and balance that is based solely on how our souls, or that spirit mind (consciousness), is in accord or synchronized with our equilibrium, which is a state of balance between two opposing forces, powers, or influences that's correlative to one another, and neither one cannot function as a whole without the other. Or, for example, physics—Sir Albert Einstein's two-part theory that mass and energy are equivalent, that space and time are relative concepts, and that gravitational and inertial forces are equivalent. I think Mr. Stein called it relativity! Yeah. Re-la-ti-vi-ty. A new sense of acuteness cannot be attained without its essence being provoked to intercede through meditation, relaxation, and uttermost erudition of phenomenal intuition that's beyond normal sensory perception or contact; which is said and understood as the unification (or whole) of the self with the supreme being. An unfortunate event; and heavy-hearted disconcerted conditions propelled evincible. Shiny emerald – trimmed gold! Showcasing ma'atic balance.
Book Synopsis Archetype of the Absolute by : Sanford L. Drob
Download or read book Archetype of the Absolute written by Sanford L. Drob and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Archetype of the Absolute: The Union of Opposites in Mysticism, Philosophy and Psychology," Sanford Drob traces the "problem of the opposites" in the history of ideas and develops the thesis that apparent oppositions in philosophy, including those that underlie competing paradigms in psychology, are complementary rather than contradictory. The doctrine of the complementarity and union of opposites underlies the mysticism of the Tao and the Kabbalah, the dialectical thinking of Hegel, the psychology of C.G. Jung, and various interpretations of quantum physics, and it has been spoken of as the "master archetype." In this intellectual tour de force, Drob draws upon thinkers from Heraclitus to Jacques Derrida and Slajov Zižek, to resolve metaphysical and psychological puzzles and reconcile a wide range of oppositions, including those between determinism and free-will, realism and idealism, reason and imagination, and theism and atheism. Drob reveals the significance of the doctrine of the union of opposites in the Kabbalah and other mystical traditions, provides a deep examination of Hegel's dialectical efforts to overcome "contradiction," and fully explores C. G. Jung's notion that "the self" is a "coincidence of opposites." He shows that a full conceptual analysis of competing paradigms in psychological theory and practice reveals them to be complementary and interdependent. Concluding chapters consider the fundamental oppositions between sign and signified, subject and object, and identity and difference, and explore the possibility (and limits) of a "rational-mystical" ascent to the "Absolute."

Book Synopsis Philosophy of Unity by : Michael Bassey Eneyo
Download or read book Philosophy of Unity written by Michael Bassey Eneyo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is borne out of the author’s desire to introduce Philosophy of Unity as one of the emerging philosophical paradigms tasked with the responsibility of offering practical ideas to contend with the alarming crisis, disunity, division, disassociation, war, terrorism, distrust and the general unrest that have engulfed the present human society. The author decries human disjointedness from the original purpose of love and the need for complementary living. Thus, attributing the challenges so experienced in the recent human tension-laden society to this negation. The book stands out as a portal of plethora of knowledge that unravels love as the ultimate unifier of the multiplicity of things in the universe, of which the unity and the separation of things in the world are necessitated by it. The author reasoned that, without love, the idea of the universe is inconceivable. The principle of inclusiveness is adopted by the author to drive home the point that the warring opposites, the conflicting issues and the fragments characterizing the universe should not be taken as reasons for division and disunity. Rather, it should be seen as means through which human limitations can be overcome if these different entities are brought together for the overall good of human beings. Hence, all fragments and their opposites are necessary since it is by their existence that our individuals and collective essences are fully put to use. The book is highly recommended for the general public, countries, especially those with multiple religions and ethnicities. It is very relevant to scholars in the areas of Philosophy, Religion, Political Science, Public and International Studies, Public Administration and Sociology. It is also useful to those who study or engage in conflict resolutions, especially in the crisis-prone communities. All lovers of wisdom will find the book useful in their respective areas of research.
Book Synopsis Plato's Pigs and Other Ruminations by : M. D. Usher
Download or read book Plato's Pigs and Other Ruminations written by M. D. Usher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greeks and Romans have been charged with destroying the ecosystems within which they lived. In this book, however, M. D. Usher argues rather that we can find in their lives and thought the origin of modern ideas about systems and sustainability, important topics for humans today and in the future. With chapters running the gamut of Greek and Roman experience – from the Presocratics and Plato to Roman agronomy and the Benedictine Rule – Plato's Pigs brings together unlikely bedfellows, both ancient and modern, to reveal surprising connections. Lively prose and liberal use of anecdotal detail, including an afterword about the author's own experiments with sustainable living on his sheep farm in Vermont, add a strong authorial voice. In short, this is a unique, first-of-its-kind book that is sure to be of interest to anyone working in Classics, environmental studies, philosophy, ecology, or the history of ideas.
Book Synopsis Complicated Presence by : Jussi Backman
Download or read book Complicated Presence written by Jussi Backman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its Presocratic beginnings, Western philosophy concerned itself with a quest for unity both in terms of the systematization of knowledge and as a metaphysical search for a unity of being—two trends that can be regarded as converging and culminating in Hegel's system of absolute idealism. Since Hegel, however, the philosophical quest for unity has become increasingly problematic. Jussi Backman returns to that question in this book, examining the place of the unity of being in the work of Heidegger. Backman sketches a consistent picture of Heidegger as a thinker of unity who throughout his career in different ways attempted to come to terms with both Parmenides's and Aristotle's fundamental questions concerning the singularity or multiplicity of being—attempting to do so, however, in a "postmetaphysical" manner rooted in rather than above and beyond particular, situated beings. Through his analysis, Backman offers a new way of understanding the basic continuity of Heidegger's philosophical project and the interconnectedness of such key Heideggerian concepts as ecstatic temporality, the ontological difference, the turn (Kehre), the event (Ereignis), the fourfold (Geviert), and the analysis of modern technology.
Book Synopsis The Primary Way by : Chung-ying Cheng
Download or read book The Primary Way written by Chung-ying Cheng and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Primary Way, the distinguished scholar of Chinese philosophy Chung-ying Cheng synthesizes his lifetime of work on the Yijing, also known as the I Ching or Book of Changes. Cheng offers a systematic engagement with the classic Chinese text as a philosophy that is still valuable and relevant today. In contemporary philosophical terms, Cheng has developed the ontological hermeneutics of the Yijing as well as its philosophical methodology of symbolic reference in a holistic and onto-generative system of trigrams and hexagrams. The book is organized around eight themes that illuminate Cheng's interpretation of the Yijing as a philosophy for creative human action and transformation. He demonstrates how the philosophy of change in the Yijing embodies early Chinese ontology, cosmology, epistemology, and virtue ethics in the interpretation of divinatory judgments. Cheng's work shows how the philosophy of change contains a vision of humanity as creatively related to heaven and earth, and how it gives positive meaning to any change as part of a ceaseless creativity. With this understanding, it enables humanity to develop its potential as a partner of heaven and earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A luminous, Marquez-esque tale” (O, The Oprah Magazine) from the New York Times bestselling author of The Museum of Extraordinary Things: a forbidden love story set on a tropical island about the extraordinary woman who gave birth to painter Camille Pissarro—the Father of Impressionism. Growing up on idyllic St. Thomas in the early 1800s, Rachel dreams of life in faraway Paris. Rachel’s mother, a pillar of their small refugee community of Jews who escaped the Inquisition, has never forgiven her daughter for being a difficult girl who refuses to live by the rules. Growing up, Rachel’s salvation is their maid Adelle’s belief in her strengths, and her deep, life-long friendship with Jestine, Adelle’s daughter. But Rachel’s life is not her own. She is married off to a widower with three children to save her father’s business. When her older husband dies suddenly and his handsome, much younger nephew, Frédérick, arrives from France to settle the estate, Rachel seizes her own life story, beginning a defiant, passionate love affair that sparks a scandal that affects all of her family, including her favorite son, who will become one of the greatest artists of France. “A work of art” (Dallas Morning News), The Marriage of Opposites showcases the beloved, bestselling Alice Hoffman at the height of her considerable powers. “Her lush, seductive prose, and heart-pounding subject…make this latest skinny-dip in enchanted realism…the Platonic ideal of the beach read” (Slate.com).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unification Thought is a powerful key capable of solving any problem, no matter how difficult it may be. When this thought is applied to society, various social problems can be settled. When this Thought is applied to the world, world problems can be realistically solved. And particularly, when it is applied to criticizing Communist theories and theories of evolution, all the contradictions of Communism and Darwinism are brought to light, and a counterproposal can be established. This Thought presents a new view of life, a new view of the world, a new view of the universe and a new view of God's work in history. It is also a principle of integration that can bring different religious doctrines and philosophies into unity, while preserving their diverse characteristics.
Book Synopsis Harmony and Unity: The Life of Niels Bohr by : Niels Blaedel
Download or read book Harmony and Unity: The Life of Niels Bohr written by Niels Blaedel and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Blaedel has addressed himself to the task of writing a full-length biography that covers all facets of his subject and that emphasizes that they form part of one harmonious unity. I think that on the whole he has succeeded remarkably well. He gives an accurate picture of the man theorists of my generation both admired and loved. And not only of the physicist: Bohr’s relations with his family and in particular with his wife, an admirable woman, are drawn with sympathy and understanding. Blaedel’s sketch of the atmosphere at Bohr’s institute in Copenhagen... is true to life; it will raise nostalgic memories among those who, like myself, experienced it... [Blaedel] has produced a fitting tribute to a great scientist and a noble man.” — H.B.G. Casimir, Nature “The book is intended primarily for nonphysicists; nevertheless it offers extensive (albeit nontechnical) accounts of all aspects of Bohr’s scientific work. The consistent emphasis, however, is on Bohr as a person—his character, interests andWeltanschauung. Niels Blaedel was able to draw on matchless resources, both human and material: Bohr’s family (especially his widow, Margrethe Bohr, who shared both her memories and her correspondence), Bohr’s former friends and colleagues, and a rich supply of documentary and photographic material from Danish collections, as well as from the AIP Niels Bohr Library in New York. The result is a lavishly illustrated and affectionate account of Bohr from his earliest years until his death... as a general picture of Bohr and his work this book can be warmly recommended.” — Anthony P. French, Physics Today “Niels Bohr is generally regarded as a giant of twentieth-century physics... Bohr was securely entrenched in a Danish culture that is difficult for many historians to penetrate. It is important, then, that at last a biography has been written by a Dane with wide knowledge of the society in which Bohr lived and moved... The author had unprecedented access to Bohr’s family correspondence, primarily with his wife Margrethe, who, before she died at ninety-four in 1984, read Blaedel many letters from her husband... Blaedel’s book, written on commission for the Bohr centennial and published in Danish in 1985, contains valuable insights on Bohr, particularly as they relate to his previously unavailable family correspondence and his place in Danish culture.” — Finn Aaserud, Isis: A Journal of the History of Science “Though Niels Bohr is best known as a distinguished citizen of the international community of science, he was also a leading citizen of Denmark. This is the first biography of Bohr to deal with both of these dimensions to his life, without which it is hard to fully understand either the man or his work.” — Robert March, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of Physics for Poets “... the book can be read without any background knowledge in physics. But its overwhelming number of photographs and rich use of letters and recollections make Niels Blaedel’s book closely resemble the great standard biography — a literary monument to Niels Bohr.” — Flemming Christian Nielsen, Jyllands-Posten “Niels Blaedel has solved an almost insoluble problem... thereby clarifying the life of Niels Bohr... a well-constructed piece of documentation and a coherent piece of scientific history.” — Jens Kistrup, Berlingske Tidende

Book Synopsis The Dialectical Path of Law by : Charles Lincoln
Download or read book The Dialectical Path of Law written by Charles Lincoln and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to contribute a single idea – a new way to interpret legal decisions in any field of law and in any capacity of interpreting law through a theory called legal dialects. This theory of the dialectical path of law uses the Hegelian dialectic which compares and contrasts two ideas, showing how they are concurrently the same but separate, without the original ideas losing their inherent and distinctive properties – what in Hegelian terms is referred to as the sublation. To demonstrate this theory, Lincoln takes different aspects of international tax law and corporate law, two fields that seem entirely contradictory, and shows how they are similar without disregarding their key theoretical properties. Primarily focusing on the technical rules of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) approach to international tax law and the United States approach to tax law, Lincoln shows that both engage in the Hegelian dialectical approach to law.
