The Riddle of the World
Author: Barbara Hannan
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190452226
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
This book is an introduction to the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, written in a lively, personal style. Hannan emphasizes the peculiar inconsistencies and tensions in Schopenhauer's thought--he was torn between idealism and realism, and between denial and affirmation of the individual will. In addition to providing a useful summary of Schopenhauer's main ideas, Hannan connects Schopenhauer's thought with ongoing debates in philosophy. According to Hannan, Schopenhauer was struggling half-consciously to break altogether with Kant and transcendental idealism; the anti-Kantian features of Schopenhauer's thought possess the most lasting value. Hannan defends panpsychist metaphysics of will, comparing it with contemporary views according to which causal power is metaphysically basic. Hannan also defends Schopenhauer's ethics of compassion against Kant's ethics of pure reason, and offers friendly amendments to Schopenhauer's theories of art, music, and "salvation." She also illuminates the deep connection between Schopenhauer and the early Wittgenstein, as well as Schopenhauer's influence on existentialism and psychoanalytic thought.

Book Description
Unraveled Intricacies is an unapologetic expression of my being. I had grown up into a world that had been seemingly perfect. A home A family I went to school, I played sports I was happy & passionate, and yet, I felt so estranged from my deepest truth. As all of the pillars in my life began to shatter I felt like I didn't have a foundation, nothing to fall back on or identify with. I started ignoring my heart and continued to walk along a path that I knew wasn't good for me. I began drinking alcohol excessively, starving myself and chose a life that manifested many sicknesses. Eventually, I was hospitalized with anorexia nerviosa. I was under the authority of people that had little to no idea what I was really going through. I complied with whatever I had to do to get out. Thankfully, my parents always cared for me and were in search of a solution. Specialized therapy appointments, one after the other and I wouldn't budge. Within my own darkness, I thrived. I didn't really know why, I hated myself for so many reasons while at the same time, for no reason at all. It wasn't until my grandmother crossed over, that my life really started to gain importance to me. I felt like I had to share something for her. Little by little I started educating myself. A huge part of my healing began with yoga and plenty of solitude. With that, I was launched into my deepest truths, gazing within and diving deeply into my emotions and what this world truly meant to me. I began practicing and teaching the beautiful art of yoga and breathing. Which then led me across the globe. Little did I know, I didn't have to go anywhere but within to find the answers that were infinitely inside of me. Ultimately, this collection is a gentle sharing and release of the rise & fall of this beautiful life I've been blessed to live for the last twenty-two years. Throughout the entirety of this reading, you will notice a huge emphasis on being continually brought back to yourself, your journey and experiences. Though our journey's may be different we are all connected to one another and we all have a story to share. So here is a bit of mine. I pray that this collection falls into the hands of the souls that need to hear this message most.

A World in a Shell
Author: Thom van Dooren
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262370247
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Following the trails of Hawai‘i’s snails to explore the simultaneously biological and cultural significance of extinction. In this time of extinctions, the humble snail rarely gets a mention. And yet snails are disappearing faster than any other species. In A World in a Shell, Thom van Dooren offers a collection of snail stories from Hawai‘i—once home to more than 750 species of land snails, almost two-thirds of which are now gone. Following snail trails through forests, laboratories, museums, and even a military training facility, and meeting with scientists and Native Hawaiians, van Dooren explores ongoing processes of ecological and cultural loss as they are woven through with possibilities for hope, care, mourning, and resilience. Van Dooren recounts the fascinating history of snail decline in the Hawaiian Islands: from deforestation for agriculture, timber, and more, through the nineteenth century shell collecting mania of missionary settlers, and on to the contemporary impacts of introduced predators. Along the way he asks how both snail loss and conservation efforts have been tangled up with larger processes of colonization, militarization, and globalization. These snail stories provide a potent window into ongoing global process of environmental and cultural change, including the largely unnoticed disappearance of countless snails, insects, and other less charismatic species. Ultimately, van Dooren seeks to cultivate a sense of wonder and appreciation for our damaged planet, revealing the world of possibilities and relationships that lies coiled within a snail’s shell.

Design Unbound: Designing for Emergence in a White Water World, Volume 2
Author: Ann M. Pendleton-Jullian
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262535823
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
Tools for navigating today's hyper-connected, rapidly changing, and radically contingent white water world. Design Unbound presents a new tool set for having agency in the twenty-first century, in what the authors characterize as a white water world—rapidly changing, hyperconnected, and radically contingent. These are the tools of a new kind of practice that is the offspring of complexity science, which gives us a new lens through which to view the world as entangled and emerging, and architecture, which is about designing contexts. In such a practice, design, unbound from its material thingness, is set free to design contexts as complex systems. In a world where causality is systemic, entangled, in flux, and often elusive, we cannot design for absolute outcomes. Instead, we need to design for emergence. Design Unbound not only makes this case through theory but also presents a set of tools to do so. With case studies that range from a new kind of university to organizational, and even societal, transformation, Design Unbound draws from a vast array of domains: architecture, science and technology, philosophy, cinema, music, literature and poetry, even the military. It is presented in five books, bound as two volumes. Different books within the larger system of books will resonate with different reading audiences, from architects to people reconceiving higher education to the public policy or defense and intelligence communities. The authors provide different entry points allowing readers to navigate their own pathways through the system of books.
