I Think Therefore I Eat
Author: Martin Cohen
Publisher: Turner Publishing Company
ISBN: 1684422000
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
"The worst thing about food science, the elephant in the room, is that it's not just the opinions that are changing—but the 'facts' themselves shift too." Did you know that the great philosophers were the original foodies? To eat or not to eat? That’s an easy question to answer. But what to eat? That’s a deep and profoundly difficult one. Doctors and nutritionists often disagree with each other, while celebrities and scientists keep pitching us new recipes and special diets. No one thought to ask the philosophers—those rational souls devoted to truth, ethics, and reason—what they think. Until now.

I Think Therefore I Orgasm
Author: Sylvain Bosselet
Publisher: Max Milo
ISBN: 2315012422
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
In their search for truth and happiness, the classical philosophers overlooked one of the most important facets of our lives—sexuality. The author rectifies this error by questioning this field of knowledge and practice: What is "good" coitus? What is a "nice" ass? What is a "legal" sexual act? What is universally "true" in sexuality? Who is "perverse?" Does sex represent a momentary pleasure, or could it embody a foundation for happiness? Using concrete examples, Sylvain Bosselet deconstructs the preconceptions that hinder our freedom and hinder sexual happiness. He seeks to lay the foundations for a philosophy of sex. Sylvain Bosselet has a degree in philosophy and a doctorate in psychology. He has directed a seminar on the Freudian critique of philosophy at the Collège international de philosophie.

The Secret Lives of Colour
Author: Kassia St Clair

ISBN: 1473630827
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A mind-expanding tour of the world without leaving your paintbox. Every colour has a story, and here are some of the most alluring, alarming, and thought-provoking. Very hard painting the hallway magnolia after this inspiring primer.' Simon Garfield The Secret Lives of Colour tells the unusual stories of the 75 most fascinating shades, dyes and hues. From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso's blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history. In this book Kassia St Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colours and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilisation. Across fashion and politics, art and war, The Secret Lives of Colour tell the vivid story of our culture.

Wisdom in Color
Author: Adelaide K. Anderson
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1483627683
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
I bought the book Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder, which is a novel about the history of philosophy, for my daughter. I ended up reading the book myself. It was a wonderful story about Western-world philosophers who became famous because they asked questions and wrote down their thoughts and views about life and their society. “What is a thought and how does a thought transform into wisdom?” A thought either remains hidden in the mind or is expressed through the written or expressed word. Are the words on this page a stream of consciousness, or have they become a thought? Like a body of water, maybe our minds are always ¿lled with thoughts, feelings, and dreams. Are thoughts similar to a pool of water, with movements seen and felt only when a breeze or current lets the light reÀect on the water’s surface? It seems that thoughts are either at the mind’s edge—like the water’s shoreline, lying just below the water’s surface in the mind’s consciousness—or are submerged in the depths of the mind’s subconscious. Thoughts are inÀuenced by the amount of light or inspiration in our lives. The tides of times and famous philosophers inÀuenced who we are in society, what we think about, and how we might be inspired to ask more questions about just about anything. I thought about when man ¿rst started to dream and ask questions about the world. Maybe I could learn about philosophy while riding through history in a goat-drawn chariot or on the back of a giant tortoise.

Four Colors Suffice
Author: Robin Wilson
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691237565
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
On October 23, 1852, Professor Augustus De Morgan wrote a letter to a colleague, unaware that he was launching one of the most famous mathematical conundrums in history--one that would confound thousands of puzzlers for more than a century. This is the amazing story of how the "map problem" was solved. The problem posed in the letter came from a former student: What is the least possible number of colors needed to fill in any map (real or invented) so that neighboring counties are always colored differently? This deceptively simple question was of minimal interest to cartographers, who saw little need to limit how many colors they used. But the problem set off a frenzy among professional mathematicians and amateur problem solvers, among them Lewis Carroll, an astronomer, a botanist, an obsessive golfer, the Bishop of London, a man who set his watch only once a year, a California traffic cop, and a bridegroom who spent his honeymoon coloring maps. In their pursuit of the solution, mathematicians painted maps on doughnuts and horseshoes and played with patterned soccer balls and the great rhombicuboctahedron. It would be more than one hundred years (and countless colored maps) later before the result was finally established. Even then, difficult questions remained, and the intricate solution--which involved no fewer than 1,200 hours of computer time--was greeted with as much dismay as enthusiasm. Providing a clear and elegant explanation of the problem and the proof, Robin Wilson tells how a seemingly innocuous question baffled great minds and stimulated exciting mathematics with far-flung applications. This is the entertaining story of those who failed to prove, and those who ultimately did prove, that four colors do indeed suffice to color any map. This new edition features many color illustrations. It also includes a new foreword by Ian Stewart on the importance of the map problem and how it was solved.
