Book Description
"This book was written, published and edited by me in its entirety, and I'd like to just note that I am not a professional writer. There are most likely some errors in different places that I missed, even though I worked very hard to correct as many I could. I just grew tired and ran out of patience after proof reading and rewriting this novel over and over for many months after I finished writing it. With that being said, I hope you will enjoy my efforts to produce a story about the pain and anguish that can consume someone's mind when they are having difficulty dealing with a specific trauma. My own personal experiences that inspired this novel will remain undisclosed to the general public for obvious reasons. I'd like to thank all the readers of this novel with all my heart for giving my first novel a chance to entertain your senses." Christopher J. McLean An Exorbitant Lapse of Realism...... Introducing Jon McLeod, the author's visionary and keeper of the nightmares. Welcome to his world, his thoughts, his mind, his anger, his frustration.... Here is his story. Jon McLeod is a family man, and a good man. But, now his family is torn apart and will never be the same. Jon McLeod lived a normal life with happiness and contention. Now he lives as a hopeless and lost soul, and feels that he has no control over his future. Jon McLeod was a proud father who knew his daughter loved and respected him. Now he feels like he failed her and that she will forever resent him for what he has become. Jon McLeod just wanted live the dream the best he could, like everyone else. But now, he must live the nightmare, over and over again. Jon McLeod's inabilities to deal with a specific tragedy that has thrown his heart and soul into the burning pits of Hell will destroy his chances of ever regaining his once normal life, if he doesn't learn to find the way to rebuild his inner strengths. This is a story of the journey into Jon's mind as he juggles all his fears, past and present, through voices, images and unpredictable dreams. Experience his journey as he tries to find a way to cope with life after one of his own suffers an unforeseen act of abuse that will forever change his family's lives. Enter the mind of Jon McLeod, family man, the good man, who has succumbed to a life consumed with an exorbitant lapse of realism.

The Speculative Turn
Author: Levi Bryant
Publisher: re.press
ISBN: 0980668344
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
Continental philosophy has entered a new period of ferment. The long deconstructionist era was followed with a period dominated by Deleuze, which has in turn evolved into a new situation still difficult to define. However, one common thread running through the new brand of continental positions is a renewed attention to materialist and realist options in philosophy. Among the current giants of this generation, this new focus takes numerous different and opposed forms. It might be hard to find many shared positions in the writings of Badiou, DeLanda, Laruelle, Latour, Stengers, and Zizek, but what is missing from their positions is an obsession with the critique of written texts. All of them elaborate a positive ontology, despite the incompatibility of their results. Meanwhile, the new generation of continental thinkers is pushing these trends still further, as seen in currents ranging from transcendental materialism to the London-based speculative realism movement to new revivals of Derrida. As indicated by the title The Speculative Turn, the new currents of continental philosophy depart from the text-centered hermeneutic models of the past and engage in daring speculations about the nature of reality itself. This anthology assembles authors, of several generations and numerous nationalities, who will be at the center of debate in continental philosophy for decades to come.

Myth and Madness
Author: Mortimer Ostow
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412829250
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This is a report on a nine-year study of the psychodynamics of antisemitism. Undertaken by Dr. Mortimer Ostow on behalf of the Psychoanalytic Research and Development Fund, it puts flesh and bones on the discussion of antisemitism in Sigmund Freud's 1939 classic theoretical study Moses and Monotheism. Its close adherence to case material and its application of psychoanalytic theory to historical data and cultural products yield new insights into bigotry and equity alike. By examining prejudiced patients and their myths, Dr. Ostow shows the common threads of antisemitism in a variety of national and cultural settings, even under supposed optimal conditions when antisemitism is stringently controlled. The work uses the psychiatric approach, and can be read as a study of how this area of behavioral science reveals the interplay of the individual and the group, cultural background and material opportunities.
