Book Description
Nicolas Malebranche (1638-1715) is one of the most important philosophers of the seventeenth century after Descartes. A pioneer of rationalism, he was one of the first to champion and to further Cartesian ideas. Andrew Pyle places Malebranche's work in the context of Descartes and other philosophers, and also in its relation to ideas about faith and reason. He examines the entirety of Malebranche's writings, including the famous The Search After Truth, which was admired and criticized by both Leibniz and Locke. Pyle presents an integrated account of Malebranche's central theses, occasionalism and 'vision in God', before exploring and assessing Malebranche's contribution to debates on physics and biology, and his views on the soul, self-knowledge, grace and the freedom of the will. This penetrating and wide-ranging study will be of interest to not only philosophers, but also to historians of science and philosophy, theologians, and students of the Enlightenment or seventeenth century thought.

The Future Society
Author: Vishrut Abhinna
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1644294230
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
The book presents an alternative society which would emerge sometime in the distant future. It first attempts a theory of how societies come into existence. The Future Society then goes on to explain how through higher values of love, compassion and enlightenment there are infinite possibilities for the society to rise to higher and higher existential planes, and at the same time, how degradations in values can degenerate the societies to abysmal levels. The Future Society is conceptualized as a love and meditation based society which has transcended all parochialisms and risen to amazingly high levels of peace, prosperity and enlightenment. Its ways of living, doing and thinking are so dramatically different than those of ours that it will drive anyone into amazement and delightful wonderment!

The Super Genius
Author: Rittik Chandra
Publisher: BookRix
ISBN: 3736898789
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
There is in man, a greater Self, that transcends the finite self of the sense-man, even as the mountain towers above the plain. There is a power lying hidden in man, by the use of which he can rise to higher and better things. "The Super Genius" will help men and women to bring their inward powers of mind and spirit into expression, wisely and in harmony with universal law; to build up character, and to find within themselves that wondrous Self, which is their real self, and which, when found, reveals to them that they are literally and truly sons of God and daughters of the Most High. "The Super Genius" will definitely help many to come into harmony with life's law and purpose and thus avoid much needless suffering: to find the Greater Self within, which discovery brings with it a realization of absolute security: to bring into expression and wisely use their inner spiritual and mental forces and thus enter a life of overcoming and almost boundless power.

Super-History
Author: Jeffrey K. Johnson
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786490357
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
In the less than eight decades since Superman's debut in 1938, comic book superheroes have become an indispensable part of American society and the nation's dominant mythology. They represent America's hopes, dreams, fears, and needs. As a form of popular literature, superhero narratives have closely mirrored trends and events in the nation. This study views American history from 1938 to 2010 through the lens of superhero comics, revealing the spandex-clad guardians to be not only fictional characters but barometers of the place and time in which they reside. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

The 'Living God' Lie
Author: John O'Loughlin
Publisher: Centretruths Digital Media
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Continuing from where John O'Loughlin's previous title, The Un-paralleled Logic of Om-niscience (1923–24) leaves off, this title is divided, with 'Books 1A/B', into two versions, the first of which, dubbed 'Unhyphenated Version', is followed by an 'Unhyphenated Addendum', whilst the second of which, dubbed 'Hyphenated Version', is likewise duly followed by a 'Hyphenated Addendum', both of which are the exact thematic replica of Book 1A except for the fact that all the terms which Mr O'Loughlin preferred not to hyphenate in the one have, as noted, been duly hyphenated in the other, thereby providing a relatively conventional text for those readers who would struggle with the unhyphenated version and its addendum which, according to the author, is ntended for the 'radically tight' rather than the 'conventionally loose' who, even if not invariably female, nonetheless deserve access, via 'Book 1B', to a relatively more accessible text, the bulk of which is, indeed, concerned with what he describes as the Lie of a Living God, even if the addenda to each version of the main text happens to be more comprehensively exacting in its approach to a well-nigh exhaustive list of terminological parallels such that, reminiscent of Arthur Koestler, 'sum-up' his overall philosophy.

Call of the Cosmic Wild. Relativistic Rockets for the New Millennium.
Author: James Essig
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1514454378
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 5054
Book Description
This book includes numerous calculations for the many specific examples included within. I have included the many calculated examples to provide the reader with immediate justifications for the numerous concepts described. This was not done to belittle or talk down to the reader but rather to give the reader a clear sense of the plausibility for the propulsion methods and performance capabilities thereof. Interstellar travel at the many specific highly relativistic velocities contemplated in this bookand, in some cases, extreme vehicle massesis still a very controversial subject but nonetheless a highly mathematicalized and intelligible subject. My hope and intention is to thus clearly inspire and show the reader the plausibility of the concepts by providing the reader with proper evidence through his or her simple inspection of the formulas and values included in the computations. Some speculative physics is included, which is based on commonly presented theoretical constructs.
