Download or read book The Republic written by Charles Austin Beard and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In more than 230 years of statehood, the United States has created its own distinctive way of living and governing--a way which its citizens cherish, but about whose essence, for want of definition, they frequently disagree. Charles Beard offered, in a synthesis of his life work, a permanent statement on the nature of the American Republic. To carry out his purpose, Beard discusses, among other subjects, the making of one nation out of many peoples and nationalities, the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, the rights and liberties of citizens, the theory of checks and balances, the role of political parties, the Republic in the world of nations, and the coming fate and fortune of America. Above all, he deals philosophically with the eternal conflict between power and freedom, security and liberty. In form, the book is a series of conversations among friends. The author and two public-spirited citizens carry the main burden of the discourse, and other figures are introduced to present special but prevailing points of view. In this way the reader not only feels that he is participating in a search for the truth, but discovers that his own point of view has here an able sponsor. Beard has taken a theme of majestic scope and presented it in terms that are warm and human and immediately relevant.

Download or read book Ancient Scriptures for the Modern Mind written by K. Narayan and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years the interpretation of scriptures has been ritualistic, divisive and worse, in the recent past, bordering on commercialization. As a result the analytical and rationale seeking modern mind has remained disinterested with the subject and reluctant to pursue the teachings contained therein. The true intent of the scriptures, on the other hand, is to help the mind tide over the ever existent turmoil within, through sensible teachings brought out in dialogues between inquisitive, questioning disciples and patient masters. An intent which has sadly remained isolated from the modern mind. This book is an attempt to recast and unfold in a simple manner some of the beautiful and common sense filled messages of Vedanta or the culmination of the ancient Indian scriptures. Messages, which have been tirelessly postulated by seers of the yore and the present, solely to help the modern mind break away from the shackles of despair towards a purposeful, fulfilling and happy life. The references made in the book include the Upanishads, Bhagvad Geeta, Bhagvata Purana and other inspiring anecdotes from the lives of the spiritually evolved.

Download or read book Making of the Modern Mind written by Philip Hodgkiss and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2001-08-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Making of the Modern Mind traces the emergence of "consciousness" in social thought from the 17th Century to the 21st. Against the classical notions of consciousness and self, alternative agendas began to be developed in the 19th Century by figures as diverse as Marx and Nietzsche. The struggles between classical conceptions of consciousness and these alternatives--which promised more radical and emancipatory interpretations--continued into the 20th Century.From the start, the concept of "consciousness" connected with a range of other notions. Questions of the self and of identity were widely disputed in the Enlightenment whilst the 20th Century contributed new concerns, chiefly the philosophical issues of being and acting and the problematic status of reality for a theory of mind. Today, consciousness is viewed much more as a public and linguistic world rather than a private and mentalistic one.The Making of the Modern Mind explores the contemporary debates around consciousness and identity, crucially setting the analysis within its social and historical context. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book will be of interest to students in Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology.

Download or read book Law and the Modern Mind written by Jerome Frank and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law and the Modern Mind first appeared in 1930 when, in the words of Judge Charles E. Clark, it "fell like a bomb on the legal world." In the generations since, its influence has grown-today it is accepted as a classic of general jurisprudence.The work is a bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that the law is a bastion of predictable and logical action. Jerome Frank's controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these decision-makers bring to the courtroom.

Download or read book Have You Been to Delphi written by Roger Lipsey and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2001-01-11 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of tales of the ancient Oracle at Delphi, freshly interpreted from ancient literature, restores a lost wisdom tradition. This tradition is conveyed not through philosophical or religious exposition but through story, ranging from the grandeur of myth to charming anecdotes and dark riddles. At the Delphic temple of Apollo, for nearly a thousand years, a priestess in trance listened to the urgent inquiries of questioners from all parts of the ancient world and responded on behalf of the god. From this sacred conversation there resulted both a set of enduring values and a collection of tales that relate the encounter with the divine and its consequences in the lives of questioners. In addition to a generous selection of these wisdom tales, the book also contains chapters on the priestess and ancient concepts of trance mediumship; on the Delphic commandment, "Know thyself"; and on the still-surviving Chief State Oracle of Tibet, which offers a living parallel to the ancient Delphic oracle.

Download or read book Storytelling written by Christian Salmon and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrative spell cast over politics and society Politics is no longer the art of the possible, but of the fictive. Its aim is not to change the world as it exists, but to affect the way that it is perceived. In Storytelling Christian Salmon looks at the twenty-first-century hijacking of creative imagination, anatomizing the timeless human desire for narrative form, and how this desire is abused by the marketing mechanisms that bolster politicians and their products: luxury brands trade on embellished histories, managers tell stories to motivate employees, soldiers in Iraq train on Hollywood-conceived computer games, and spin doctors construct political lives as if they were a folk epic. This “storytelling machine” is masterfully unveiled by Salmon, and is shown to be more effective and insidious as a means of oppression than anything dreamed up by Orwell.

Download or read book Regimens of the Mind written by Sorana Corneanu and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Regimens of the Mind, Sorana Corneanu proposes a new approach to the epistemological and methodological doctrines of the leading experimental philosophers of seventeenth-century England, an approach that considers their often overlooked moral, psychological, and theological elements. Corneanu focuses on the views about the pursuit of knowledge in the writings of Robert Boyle and John Locke, as well as in those of several of their influences, including Francis Bacon and the early Royal Society virtuosi. She argues that their experimental programs of inquiry fulfill the role of regimens for curing, ordering, and educating the mind toward an ethical purpose, an idea she tracks back to the ancient tradition of cultura animi. Corneanu traces this idea through its early modern revival and illustrates how it organizes the experimental philosophers’ reflections on the discipline of judgment, the study of nature, and the study of Scripture. It is through this lens, the author suggests, that the core features of the early modern English experimental philosophy—including its defense of experience, its epistemic modesty, its communal nature, and its pursuit of “objectivity”—are best understood.
