Book Description
How is it possible that throughout history several inventors around the world have independently invented the same things at the same time? Why does history repeat itself? How do birds know how to migrate, and how can “instinct” be explained? Idea Materia: Can Ideas be Measured by Science? offers an intriguing explanation: a subatomic field of energy that acts as a reservoir of knowledge and ideas that all species can access. Author Patrick J. Ricard proposes that this field — idea materia — crosses the barriers of time and space and allows for individuals to access ideas from the past as well as create new ones that are available for others to access. While this theory may seem radical at first, Ricard explores how the work of other philosophers and psychologists — from Plato to Jung — and theorists — from Vernadsky to Bohm — have hinted at the existence of something like idea materia. Ricard then expands on these existing theories of ideas to examine all angles of how we experience life, including: • Can one's identity exist after one's historic lifetime is over? • How can other species know and experience the objectively real universe? • Can “truth” be known given how human knowledge is obtained and organized? Covering the fields of epistemology, metaphysics, linguistics, logic, particle physics, mathematics, psychology, and religion, Idea Materia: Can Ideas be Measured by Science? is both accessible for those new to these areas of study, and thought-provoking for those already possessing such a background. This is a book that encourages ongoing rumination long after you have finished the last page as you will look at yourself and the world in a new way.

Theories of Metaphor Revised
Author: Stephan Kessler
Publisher: Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH
ISBN: 3832533583
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Interest in literary and linguistic research on metaphor and imagery has increased over the past thirty years. However, theoretical studies dealing with the functioning of metaphor are still rare. Scholars often develop their theoretical approach to metaphor suiting their special goals of analysis only. In addition, a few explanatory models are ubiquitous, such as substitution, analogy-theory, elliptical simile, transferred meaning, the theory of interaction, and conceptualism. In his theoretical sketch Stephan Kessler gives a discursive criticism of the existing models of metaphor and offers a review of conceptualism. What has once been denoted 'rhetorical metaphor' has been changed completely by conceptualism: `Metaphor' itself has become a metaphor. Here, the well-known models of metaphor have led Kessler to dedicate deeper pragma-linguistic thoughts to the functioning of tropes. In Kessler's study, conceptualism is perceived through the eyes of its most prominent supporters, Lakoff and Johnson.

Advances in Unconventional Computing
Author: Andrew Adamatzky
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319339249
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 868
Book Description
The unconventional computing is a niche for interdisciplinary science, cross-bred of computer science, physics, mathematics, chemistry, electronic engineering, biology, material science and nanotechnology. The aims of this book are to uncover and exploit principles and mechanisms of information processing in and functional properties of physical, chemical and living systems to develop efficient algorithms, design optimal architectures and manufacture working prototypes of future and emergent computing devices. This first volume presents theoretical foundations of the future and emergent computing paradigms and architectures. The topics covered are computability, (non-)universality and complexity of computation; physics of computation, analog and quantum computing; reversible and asynchronous devices; cellular automata and other mathematical machines; P-systems and cellular computing; infinity and spatial computation; chemical and reservoir computing. The book is the encyclopedia, the first ever complete authoritative account, of the theoretical and experimental findings in the unconventional computing written by the world leaders in the field. All chapters are self-contains, no specialist background is required to appreciate ideas, findings, constructs and designs presented. This treatise in unconventional computing appeals to readers from all walks of life, from high-school pupils to university professors, from mathematicians, computers scientists and engineers to chemists and biologists.
