Book excerpt: Black & White Magic - The Rationale and Reasoning Behind Things Which Cannot Be Explained Table of Contents Introduction Ghosts and Other Supernatural Beings The Voodoo That You Do… Zombies and the Spirit on the Threshold! The Things We Call Miracles Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction The moment you hear somebody whisper, “black magic,” I defy you not to feel a shiver run down your spine, because this is a subject, which has scared and terrified human beings for millenniums. It conjures up visions of evil, bad beings, devils, and evil spirits, already to create mayhem and havoc upon the human world. This book is going to try to explain some of the rationale behind black magic or bad magic, and its counterpart, White Magic or Good Magic. I have said these words, try to explain. Because I cannot explain a large number of supernatural occurrences, which occur periodically in nature, and which have absolutely no scientific explanation. The person of faith calls them miracles. The person of nature calls them natural magic. The person of science calls them chance or coincidence. Superstitious people have other names for such occurrences, fate, kismet, and other such names, coming down the ages through every civilization, to try to explain the inexplicable. That is because human beings have not learned to leave things as they are and need to explain everything which has happened, through scientific or analytical thought. This is the thinking of the so-called intellectual world, which will not leave things as they are, but needs to waste its time in trying to explain why something happens the way it does, and how, and why, and when and where. This book is going to have a number of experiences, which you are going to consider supernatural, and of course for which I have no logical, scientific or rational explanation. That is why, the explanation that I may give it has definitely no scientific proof demanded by researchers of psychic phenomena. There are some powers and forces out there, in other dimensions apart from us, and sometimes the “wall” between them, and our world allows them to escape into our world. And so we are subjected to supposedly supernatural occurrences, which a cynical scientist is going to dismiss as imagination, because he does not believe the evidence right in front of his eyes!
Download or read book The Mystery of Rationality written by Gérald Bronner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to the developing dialogue between cognitive science and social sciences. It focuses on a central issue in both fields, i.e. the nature and the limitations of the rationality of beliefs and action. The development of cognitive science is one of the most important and fascinating intellectual advances of recent decades, and social scientists are paying increasing attention to the findings of this new branch of science that forces us to consider many classical issues related to epistemology and philosophy of action in a new light. Analysis of the concept of rationality is a leitmotiv in the history of the social sciences and has involved endless disputes. Since it is difficult to give a precise definition of this concept, and there is a lack of agreement about its meaning, it is possible to say that there is a ‘mystery of rationality’. What is it to be rational? Is rationality merely instrumental or does it also involve the endorsement of values, i.e. the choice of goals? Should we consider rationality to be a normative principle or a descriptive one? Can rationality be only Cartesian or can it also be argumentative? Is rationality a conscious skill or a partly tacit one? This book, which has been written by an outstanding collection of authors, including both philosophers and social scientists, tries to make a useful contribution to the debates on these problems and shed some light on the mystery of rationality. The target audience primarily comprises researchers and experts in the field.
Download or read book Why Can t We Just Get Along written by Anthony Hughes and published by Anthony Hughes. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines the history of American descendants of slaves with contemporary events to explain the animus existing between the two Americas - one white, one black. WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG answers Rodney's King's question by delving into the weeds of the true black experience in America - slavery, post-civil war black codes, Jim Crow segregation, Lynching, medical experimentation on men, women, and children, and race riots flaring up in every major city of the country. This unique odyssey illustrates the struggles, tears, and generations of the heartbreak of a race of people whom America would long to forget. Ignoring the fact that African-Americans built large segments of the United States, making it the wealthiest nation in the entire world, the world still views them under the lens of hate, disdain, and mistrust. Though they have proven their worth as a community, the dominant society still places them in a position at the bottom rung of society. Though unpublished when originally written in 2005, the unabridged history lessons included in this book are still applicable today.

Download or read book Culture Bound Syndromes in Popular Culture written by Cringuta Irina Pelea and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores culture-bound syndromes, defined as a pattern of symptoms (mental, physical, and/or relational) experienced only by members of a specific cultural group and recognized as a disorder by members of those groups, and their coverage in popular culture. Encompassing a wide range of popular culture genres and mediums – from film and TV to literature, graphic novels, and anime – the chapters offer a dynamic mix of approaches to analyze how popular culture has engaged with specific culture-bound syndromes such as hwabyung, hikikomori, taijin kyofusho, zou huo ru mo, sati, amok, Cuban hysteria, voodoo death, and others. Spanning a global and interdisciplinary remit, this first-of-its-kind anthology will allow scholars and students of popular culture, media and film studies, comparative literature, medical humanities, cultural psychiatry, and philosophy to explore simultaneously a diversity of popular cultures and culturally rooted mental health disorders.
Download or read book The Philosophy of Nicholas of Cusa written by Pavel Floss and published by Schwabe Verlag (Basel). This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of the broad variety of Cusanus' work, this book discusses six of his writings, careful not to isolate them from the whole of his work. It instead presents them against the maturation of Cusanus' thinking as it developed from his first sermons up to his shortest philosophical text De apice theoriae. The texts in question are De docta ignorantia, De coniecturis, Idiota de mente, De beryllo, Trialogus de possest and De apice theoriae. In the search for God, or rather in Cusanus' lifetime eff orts to have his spirit touch the fi rst principle and the basis of all things, new perspectives on the world and man within would open up for Cusanus. Respecting this basic intention of Cusanus' thinking, the author primarily deals with Cusanus' ontotheological (metaphysical) claims and, in their context, turns his attention to the cosmological, or anthropologico-gnoseological opinions.

Download or read book Beckett in Black and Red written by Alan Warren Friedman and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1934, Nancy Cunard published Negro: An Anthology, which brought together more than two hundred contributions, serving as a plea for racial justice, an exposé of black oppression, and a hymn to black achievement and endurance. The anthology stands as a virtual ethnography of 1930s racial, historic, artistic, political, and economic culture. Samuel Beckett, a close friend of the flamboyant and unconventional Cunard, translated nineteen of the contributions for Negro, constituting Beckett's largest single prose publication. Beckett traditionally has been viewed as an apolitical postmodernist rather than as a willing and major participant in Negro's racial, political, and aesthetic agenda. In Beckett in Black and Red, Friedman reevaluates Beckett's contribution to the project, reconciling the humanism of his life and work and valuing him as a man deeply engaged with the greatest public issues of his time. Cunard believed racial justice and equality could be achieved only through Communism, and thus "black" and "red" were inextricably linked in her vision. Beckett's contribution to Negro demonstrates his support for Cunard's interest in surrealism as well as her political causes, including international republicanism and anti-fascism. Only in recent years have Cunard's ideas begun to receive serious consideration. Beckett in Black and Red radically revalues Cunard and reconceives Beckett. His work in Negro shows a commitment to cultural and individual equality and worth that Beckett consistently demonstrated throughout his life, both in personal relationships and in his writing.

Download or read book White Magic written by Elissa Washuta and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the PEN Open Book Award Longlisted for the PEN/Jean Stein Award A TIME, NPR, New York Public Library, Lit Hub, Book Riot, and Entropy Best Book of the Year "Beguiling and haunting. . . . Washuta's voice sears itself onto the skin." —The New York Times Book Review Bracingly honest and powerfully affecting, White Magic establishes Elissa Washuta as one of our best living essayists. Throughout her life, Elissa Washuta has been surrounded by cheap facsimiles of Native spiritual tools and occult trends, “starter witch kits” of sage, rose quartz, and tarot cards packaged together in paper and plastic. Following a decade of abuse, addiction, PTSD, and heavy-duty drug treatment for a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder, she felt drawn to the real spirits and powers her dispossessed and discarded ancestors knew, while she undertook necessary work to find love and meaning. In this collection of intertwined essays, she writes about land, heartbreak, and colonization, about life without the escape hatch of intoxication, and about how she became a powerful witch. She interlaces stories from her forebears with cultural artifacts from her own life—Twin Peaks, the Oregon Trail II video game, a Claymation Satan, a YouTube video of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham—to explore questions of cultural inheritance and the particular danger, as a Native woman, of relaxing into romantic love under colonial rule.
