Borges 2.0
Author: Perla Sassón-Henry
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9780820497143
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Borges 2.0: From Text to Virtual Worlds analyzes Jorge Luis Borges's «The Library of Babel», «The Garden of Forking Paths», and «The Intruder» from a tripartite perspective that encompasses literature, science, and technology. This book underscores developments in chaos theory during the 1980s and their intricate connections with Borges's works and the digital world. Without losing sight of this critical framework, this study also takes into account Deleuze and Guattari's rhizome theory and Umberto Eco's theory on labyrinths. Borges 2.0 is unique in its analysis of how Borgesian texts relate to science and technology at the same time that science and the virtual world illuminate Borges's texts to provide a new reading of his work.

DIGVIJAYAM
Author: Kuntamukkala Subrahmanyam Naidu
Publisher: sarvad publication
ISBN:
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 55
Book Description
"A book that every householder should keep at home and study to improve his household" - Kamakoti Prasada Rao. Along with the writing on the forehead, the position of the planet and the house also contribute to a certain extent to the survival of a human being. Planetary remedies have been prescribed since Vedic times to provide remedies for the problems caused by planets. Similarly, Vaastu Shastra provides practical instructions to remove the problems brought about by households and to live happily ever after. Earlier, Shri Gauru Tirupati Reddy Garu (Prodduthuru) from our region provided the books "Vastu Shastra Suktulu" and "Vastu Shastra Facts". Dr. Rasavihari Henry (Madanapalle) has published a century explaining the sayings of Vastu Shastra in the crown of "Vaastu Vammu Kaadu Vastavammu". It is in that context that Manyasri Kuntamukkala Subrahmanyam Naidu, who is currently a head of education, a trilingual expert, an astrologer, a great architect, and a retired teacher, has published a Vaastu shastra book titled "Digvijayam". In this book, the precious things related to the eight directions, which are divided into eight sections, are written in such a way that even a common man can understand them easily. Explaining how any home can have all the comforts if it has a proper Vaastu, after the rise of civilization, the supremacy of the Rishyasrams has decreased a little and the changes in the modern systems have been explained and pointed out how necessary the architectural structures are even in the modern times. Direction - Antidirections Description, Direction sections are excellent with regular diagrams, and the description of best - worst (Uccha - Neecha) positions is very good. An explanation of the pros and cons of planetary influence on major directions is optional. In the eighth section, the Eight directions are given in full detail, and the practical aspects of science are explained in full detail. As this book is a useful book not only for scholars but also for common people, this book preaches the need for every householder to keep this book at home and study it and get all the benefits to improve their house. Writer Sri Kuntamukkala Subrahmanyam Naidu was my teacher. I studied Hindi with them along with other subjects and became proficient in that language as well. He worked as a dedicated Telugu Teacher at Giri Rao Theosophical High School and was a poet who knew the secrets of poetry and education. Their education services are commendable. The services rendered by 9 DIGVIJAYAM them to society in connection with those fields, who have studied extensively on the sciences of astrology, vaastu are priceless. Born on 01-09-1951 to the late Sri Lakshmaiah Naidu and Mrs. Nagamma, who were natives of Diguvamagham village, Chittoor district, Mr. Subrahmanyam Naidu was educated at Sri Malayala Swami Oriental College affiliated to Erpedu Ashram and experienced depth in culture, science studies etc. Later settled in Madanapalle and organized community services. I offer my salutations to them, rejoicing at the privilege of being able to write four words on his great book.

Revisioning Christian Unity

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"We have here what might be described as a new Pentecost."---Cecil M. Robeck Fuller Theological Seminary "The Most important aspect of the forum is that, in deep and direct human encounters, we have found Christ in each other. It has confirmed to me that we are being led by the Holy Spirit to deepen our commitment to unity. This is the hour of His grace, if only we would listen."---Biship Brain Farrell Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity "We believe this table brings greater understanding and breaks stereotypes."---Geoff Tunnicliffe pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity "This wasn't a conference that produced papers. We prayed together. This wasn't a conference that debated doctrines. We Shared our faith stories with one another. This wasn't a legislative body that voted, creating winners and losers. We listened to one another. That is why we gathered."---Bishop Jessica Crist Evangelical Lutheran Church in America "If the Global Christian Forum continues for a couple of decades, this gathering will some day be viewed as a watershed in twenty-first century Christianity."---Larry Miller Mennonite World Conference "Some would have said this event is not possible, but here we are."---Rev. Samuel Kobia World Council of Churches "The forum enriched my faith and expanded my view of Christian diversity, as I came to a deeper realization that the Christian faith is so much bigger than any one denomination or fellowship."---Bishop James Leggett Pontecostal World Fellowship "This meeting has been a milestone, setting an example and suggesting standards for dialogue among Christians. It has built up momentum that will now be felt in many other places."---Rev. John Mathews Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church "My participation in the forum will help me to understand where other traditions are coming from, and why they do what they do. I had never before had the opportunity to sit and listen to an Orthodox priest, for instance."---Rev. Judy Mbugua Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church

The Importance of Being Understood
Author: Adam Morton
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134484291
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The Importance of Being Understood is an innovative and thought-provoking exploration of the links between the way we think about each other's mental states and the fundamentally cooperative nature of everyday life. Adam Morton begins with a consideration of 'folk psychology', the tendency to attribute emotions, desires, beliefs and thoughts to human minds. He takes the view that it is precisely this tendency that enables us to understand, predict and explain the actions of others, which in turn helps us to decide on our own course of action. This relection suggests, claims Morton, that certain types of cooperative activity are dependent on everyday psychological understanding conversely, that we act in such a way as to make our actions easily intelligible to others so that we can benefit from being understood. This idea of 'beneficial circularities' is at the core of Morton's investigation of the interdependencies between folk psychology and social behaviour: we understand each other because we have learned to make ourselves intelligible. Using examples of cooperative activities such as car driving and playing tennis, Adam Morton analyses the concepts of belief and simulation, the idea of explanation by motive, and the causal force of psychological explanation. In addition to argument and analysis, Morton also includes more speculative explorations of topics such as moral progress and presents a new point of view on how and why cultures differ. The Importance of Being Understood forges new links between ethics and the philosophy of mind and will be of interest to anyone in either field, as well as developmental psychologists.
