Book Description
After losing his sister to illness, Edward becomes distraught. He struggles to find the strength to endure his existence. Even the comfort from his family is not enough to help mend his heartbreak. Edward is at risk of being swallowed and lost forever to this overwhelming affliction of loss and death. In one of his most crippling, darkest moments, the depths of the shadows consume his mind. As Edward transverses the gloom, he senses a presence. It is ancient and powerful, and it seems to be attracted to his anguish. Although fearful at first, Edward feels strangely comfortable and tethered to this presence within the shadows. Unbeknownst to Edward, he had somehow accessed a conduit to the world beyond the physical, a world where the gods dwell. However, the ubiquity within the shadows Edward has summoned is not a god. The presence is Astraea, a sorceress who lived more than two millennia ago. Somehow by joining the shadow realm, Edward and Astraea are bound, transcending space and time. Their decisions on how to use this newfound power will shape both the heavens and the world.

The Glance of the Eye
Author: William McNeill
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438412649
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
William McNeill explores the phenomenon of the Augenblick, or "glance of the eye," in Heidegger's thought, and in particular its relation to the primacy of seeing and of theoretical apprehending (theoria) both in Aristotle and in the philosophical and scientific tradition of Western thought. McNeill argues that Heidegger's early reading of Aristotle, which identifies the experience of the Augenblick at the heart of ethical and practical knowledge (phronesis), proves to be a decisive encounter for Heidegger's subsequent understanding and critique of the history of philosophy, science, and technology. It provides him with a critical resource for addressing the problematic domination of theoretical knowledge in Western civilization. Such knowledge, the author shows, always remains in a peculiar tension (itself historically determined and changing) with ethical or "protoethical" knowledge, which is bound to the finite, "ecstatic" temporality of the lived and living moment, and inevitably exposed to the presence of the sensuous.
