Book Description
Time Out: A Second Look at Nature engages readers with an opportunity to ask, examine and ponder critical questions which fundamentally challenge conventional thinking and beliefs about God, nature and our very humanness. It is natural to be curious about such questions but we are trained as children that it is forbidden to ask them. We consider ourselves fortunate to live in the most highly developed technological time that has ever existed. It is almost embarrassing to admit, even to ourselves, that we have doubts regarding the gains of conventional science and technology. Is it no wonder that one of reality TV’s most popular shows is about modern people returning to primitive settings and forming tribes? Is this the only way for contemporary people to understand the basics of what it means to be human; that our earth is a temporary abode and that passing the test of being your brother’s keeper is the only way to ensure happiness here on earth? Cal Mbano, a teacher and naturalist learner invites you to explore the purpose for our existence here on earth through his unique perspective.

Book Description
"Marvelous, terrifying fun, especially if you've ever suspected that the world is an unreal construct built solely to keep you from knowing who you really are. Which it is, of course."--"Rolling Stone" Ragle Gumm has a unique job: every day he wins a newspaper contest. And when he isn't consulting his charts and tables, he enjoys his life in a small town in 1959. At least, that's what he thinks. But then strange things start happening. He finds a phone book where all the numbers have been disconnected, and a magazine article about a famous starlet he's never heard of named Marilyn Monroe. Plus, everyday objects are beginning to disappear and are replaced by strips of paper with words written on them like "bowl of flowers" and "soft drink stand." When Ragle skips town to try to find the cause of these bizarre occurrences, his discovery could make him question everything he has ever known.

Order and History
Author: Eric Voegelin
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 0826263909
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Annotation In Search of Order brings to a conclusion Eric Voegelin's masterwork, Order and History. Voegelin conceived Order and History as "a philosophical inquiry concerning the principal types of order of human existence in society and history as well as the corresponding symbolic forms." In previous volumes, Voegelin discussed the imperial organizations of the ancient Near East and their existence in the form of the cosmological myth; the revelatory form of existence in history, developed by Moses and the prophets of the Chosen People; the polis, the Hellenic myth, and the development of philosophy as the symbolism of order; and the evolution of the great religions, especially Christianity. This final volume of Order and History is devoted to the elucidation of the experience of transcendence that Voegelin discussed in earlier volumes. He aspires to show in a theoretically acute manner the exact nature of transcendental experiences. Voegelin's philosophical inquiry unfolds in the historical context of the great symbolic enterprise of restating man's humanity under the horizon of the modern sciences and in resistance to the manifold forces of our age that deform human existence. His stature as one of the major philosophical forces of the twentieth century clearly emerges from these concluding pages. In Search of Order deepens and clarifies the meditative movement that Voegelin, now in reflective distance to his own work, sees as having been operative throughout his search. Because of Voegelin's death, on January 19, 1985, In Search of Order is briefer than it otherwise might have been; however, the theoretical presentation that he had set for himself is essentially completed here. Just as this volume serves Voegelin well in his striking analyses of Hegel, Hesiod, and Plato, it will serve as a model for the reader's own efforts in search of order.

The Time out of Mind

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 527
Book Description
By the middle of the 1970s, Bob Dylan’s position as the pre-eminent artist of his generation was assured. The 1975 album Blood on the Tracks seemed to prove, finally, that an uncertain age had found its poet.Then Dylan faltered. His instincts, formerly unerring, deserted him. in the 1980s, what had once appeared unthinkable came to pass: the “voice of a generation” began to sound irrelevant, a tale told to grandchildren.Yet in the autumn of 1997, something remarkable happened. Having failed to release a single new song in seven long years, Dylan put out the equivalent of two albums in a single package. in the concluding volume of his ground- breaking study, ian Bell explores the unparalleled second act in a quintessentially american career. it is a tale of redemption, of an act of creative will against the odds, and of a writer who refused to fade away.Time Out of Mind is the story of the latest, perhaps the last, of the many Bob Dylans.

On Time
Author: Marina Denischik
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443814105
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This volume brings together seven essays that deal with a number of key presentations of time in the history of philosophy. Best described as phenomenological studies of time, the articles here address the problems and questions of temporality as they appear in the works of thinkers of the Western philosophical tradition. The innovative approaches to understanding time that all of the essays feature are grounded in careful research. The papers were originally given at the 2015 “Phenomenology of Time” Boston College Philosophy Colloquium, and thematize philosophical accounts of time, offering avenues for thinking about the role of time in psychology, cognitive studies, physics, and education. The familiar subjects that are addressed in the pieces by Manoussakis, Gay, and Floyd offer reflections on temporality of love, death, and anxiety. Biondi’s essay elucidates the relationship between time and eternity. The more technical papers by Michael Kelly, as well as Kevin and Marina Marren, draw on such thinkers as Heidegger, Kant, and Husserl, tracing the relationship between conscious awareness of time and the role of temporality in pre-cognitive synthesis.

Book Description
Florence has the greatest collection of Renaissance art in the world, and a character list that reads like a Who's Who of the period's greatest artists and thinkers u Dante, Leonardo, Michaelangelo u not to mention the powerful families who financed their work - the Medici and the Strozzi. Evidence of their lasting influence abounds today, including the discovery of a Leonardo fresco beneath a painting by Vasari, and the unearthing of Michaelangelo's plans for a church facade. The city's challenge today is to manage the resultant tourist hordes; a new entrance to an enlarged Uffizi should double tourist numbers to the gallery, while a tramline is intended to reduce the city's traffic.
