The Science of Possibility
Author: Freeman Jon
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780956010735
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
This book offers a radical perspective uniting science with spiritual experience and non-ordinary views of reality. It provides a comprehensive view through physics, biology, genetics, psychology and human development. The result is a connected web that shows the patterns connecting consciousness to material existence. It reveals the non-ordinary reality of intuition, psychic experience and alternative medicine as not just side-effects created by human minds, but as the ground base of reality that underpins and defines material existence. Everything that universe consists of rests in patterns of relationship. All that we are lives in and influences those patterns. This is the source of our potential and possibility.

The Physics of Possibility
Author: Michael Tondre
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813941466
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
The Physics of Possibility traces the sensational birth of mathematical physics in Victorian literature, science, and statistics. As scientists took up new breakthroughs in quantification, they showed how all sorts of phenomena—the condition of stars, atoms, molecules, and nerves—could be represented as a set of probabilities through time. Michael Tondre demonstrates how these techniques transformed the British novel. Fictions of development by Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and others joined the vogue for alternative possibilities. Their novels not only reflected received pieties of maturation but plotted a wider number of deviations from the norms of reproductive adulthood. By accentuating overlooked elements of form, Tondre reveals the novel’s changing identification with possible worlds through the decades when physics became a science of all things. In contrast to the observation that statistics served to invent normal populations, Tondre brings influential modes of historical thinking to the foreground. His readings reveal an acute fascination with alternative temporalities throughout the period, as novelists depicted the categories of object, action, and setting in new probabilistic forms. Privileging fiction’s agency in reimagining historical realities, never simply sanctioning them, Tondre revises our understanding of the novel and its ties to the ascendant Victorian sciences.

Descartes and the Enlightenment
Author: Peter A. Schouls
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773510142
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Peter Schouls examines the role played by the concepts of freedom, mastery, and progress in Descartes' writings, arguing that these ideas express a vital and fundamental feature of Descartes' thought. These theories also occupy a central position in the thought of the Enlightenment. Since the more contentious claim is that they function centrally in Descartes' works, Schouls presents a careful and detailed examination of the conjunction and use of these ideas in Descartes' writings. This examination warrants the conclusion that they play the same role in Descartes' works as they do in writings typical of the Enlightenment.

Science and Religion
Author: Lucas F. Johnston
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317813413
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
This collection offers new perspectives on the study of science and religion, bringing together articles that highlight the differences between epistemological systems and call into question the dominant narrative of modern science. The volume provides historical context for the contemporary discourse around religion and science, detailing the emergence of modern science from earlier movements related to magic and other esoteric arts, the impact of the Reformation on science, and the dependence of Western science on the so-called Golden Age of Islam. In addition, contributors examine the impacts of Western science and colonialism on the ongoing theft of the biological resources of traditional and indigenous communities in the name of science and medicine. The volume’s multi-perspectival approach aims to refocus the terms of the conversation around science and religion, taking into consideration multiple rationalities outside of the dominant discourse.

The Possibilities

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476725810
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Descendants—a “funny, insightful, and unsentimental” (People, 4 stars) novel about a grieving mother and the shocking surprise that may help her reclaim her hold on life. In the idyllic ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado, Sarah St. John is reeling. Three months ago, her twenty-two-year-old son, Cully, died in an avalanche. Sarah’s father, a retiree, tries to distract her from her grief with gadgets from the home shopping channel. Sarah’s best friend offers life advice by venting details of her own messy divorce. Even Cully’s father reemerges, stirring more emotions and confusion than Sarah needs. But Sarah feels she is facing the stages of grief—the anger, the sadness, the letting go—alone; she desperately wants to hear the swoosh of her son’s ski pants, or watch him skateboard past her window. And one day a strange girl arrives on her doorstep. Unexpected and unexplained, she bears a secret from Cully that could change all of their lives forever. With wry wit and intuition, Kaui Hart Hemmings highlights the subtle poignancies of grief and relationships in this stunning look at people faced with impossible choices. Called “surprisingly entertaining” (The New York Times Book Review) and “familiar yet richly, astutely observant and reflective” (The Boston Globe), The Possibilities brilliantly portrays tragic ineffability with grace and hope.

The Book of Possibilities
Author: Earthlinks Circle
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781907084201
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
It is widely recognised that we have reached a critical point in human development. Our planet struggles to maintain its health; human beings are confronted globally by deep-seated conflicts and destructive patterns of behaviour. Many of us, driven by short-term self-interest, have lost touch with our connectedness to the web of life. At the same time, developments in the fields of science, consciousness studies and spirituality suggest that we are on the verge of a step change in our understanding of the nature of the universe and of the place of consciousness within it. Humanity has reached a point where it is both possible and required that it take an active and intelligent part in its own evolution. This book assists in that process. It goes beyond the self help focus on the individual and demonstrates that the capacity to change how we individually and collectively experience life for the joy of that experience is greatly enhanced through working consciously for the highest good of all beings. It enables us to instigate a collective choice for the exercise of this capacity to become our reality.The book draws on current experience, ancient mystical traditions and newly received psycho-spiritual approaches to offer guidance and tools, laid out in a way that is easily accessible to all. The Earthlinks Circle The book is authored by a group of seven diverse individuals and represents their distilled experience of over twelve years collective meditative practice working together to help manifest the highest potential for human and planetary evolution for the greatest good of all being.
