Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume contains a collection of papers presented at the International Symposium, which took place in Hvar, Croatia, in 2006. In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest in the study of Plato, Platonism and Neoplatonism. Taking the position that it is of vital importance to establish an ongoing dialogue among scientists, artists, academics, theologians and philosophers concerning pressing issues of common interest to humankind, this collection of papers endeavours to bridge the gap between contemporary research in Platonist philosophy and other fields where insights gained from the study of Plato and Platonist philosophy can be of consequence and benefit.

Download or read book From the Physical Universe to the Metaphysical Cosmos The Quantum Entanglement and Synchronicity of Carl Jung written by Bruno Del Medico and published by Bruno Del Medico Editore. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second greatly expanded edition of the previous booklet "Quantum Entanglement and the Collective Unconscious". It collects the best contributions published by the author in his blogs, social networks and sites in Italian, translated into English. The reader will be amazed at the originality of the arguments. From the happy marriage between quantum physics and Carl Jung's collective unconscious, a new metaphysics of the universe is born and a place emerges in which matter and spirit collaborate and are guided by cosmic synchronicities to lead man towards incredible evolutionary projects. Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli worked respectively in the field of psyche and in that of matter. These two sectors are considered absolutely incompatible with each other. In fact, scientific materialism denies the existence of any psychic component in the known universe. Despite the enormous distance between their disciplines, the two scientists established a collaboration that lasted more than twenty years. During that period they never stopped looking for a "unifying element", capable of reconciling, on a scientific level, the reasons of the psychic dimension with those of the material dimension. Unfortunately, they did not achieve this in their lifetime, but they were prophets of a new scientific interpretation of the universe. In fact, the evolution of knowledge in the field of quantum physics, and above all the experimental confirmations of phenomena such as quantum entanglement, re-evaluate their theories. Today the idea of a universe that is not divided into "material objects" emerges strongly. The universe is not divided but consists of a single reality, made up of spirit and matter. This is the reality that Jung and Pauli called "Unus mundus". Matter and psyche have equal dignity and together contribute to the existence of the universe. The editorial series “Cenacolo Jung Pauli” is a place of knowledge and study. We believe it is the most suitable environment to resume work from the point where Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli left off. We can affirm that, today, scientific topicality ennobles their research and projects them towards even more daring interpretations than they themselves had imagined. Carl Gustav Jung (1865-1961) was a Swiss psychologist and psychotherapist, well known for his theories on the collective unconscious and synchronicity. Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958) is one of the fathers of quantum physics. About Pauli we can say that in the year 1945 he received the Nobel Prize for his studies on a basic principle of quantum mechanics, known as the "Pauli exclusion principle". Finished printing on June 2, 2022 Bruno Del Medico is a blogger, writer, editor, specializing in the dissemination of issues related to social current events and the new frontiers of science. He is the author of many texts related to the recent pandemic and of a specialized series on quantum physics and metaphysics.

Download or read book Dante s New Life of the Book written by Martin Eisner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-18 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante's Vita nuova has taken on a wide variety of different forms since its first publication in 1294. How could one work have generated such different physical forms? Through examining the work's transformations in manuscripts, printed books, translations, and adaptations, Eisner reconceives of the relationship between the work and its reception. Dante's New Life of the Book investigates how these different material manifestations participate in the work, drawing attention to its distinctive elements. Dante framed his book as an attempt to understand his own experiences through the experimental form of the book, and later scribes, editors, and translators use different material forms to embody their interpretations of Dante's collection of thirty-one poems surrounded by prose narrative and commentary. Traveling from Boccaccio's Florence to contemporary Hollywood with stops in Emerson's Cambridge, Rossetti's London, Nerval's Paris, Mandelstam's Russia, De Campos's Brazil, and Pamuk's Istanbul, this study builds on extensive archival research to show how Dante's strange poetic forms, including incomplete canzoni and sonnets with two beginnings, continue to challenge readers. Each chapter focuses on how one of these distinctive features has been treated over time, offering new perspectives on topics such as Dante's love of Beatrice, his relationship with Guido Cavalcanti, and his attraction to another woman. Numerous illustrations show the entanglement of the work's poetic form and its material survival. Eisner provides a fresh reading of Dante's innovations, demonstrating the value of this philological analysis of the work's survival in the world.
Download or read book Towards a Systemic Theory of Irregular Migration written by Gabriel Echeverría and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides an alternative theoretical framework of irregular migration that allows to overcome many of the contradictions and theoretical impasses displayed by the majority of approaches in current literature. The analytical framework allows moving from an interpretation biased by methodological nationalism, to a more general systemic interpretation. It explains irregular migration as a structural phenomenon or contemporary society, and why state policies are greatly ineffective in their attempt to control irregular migration. It also explains irregular migration as a diversified phenomenon that relates to the social characteristics of the context, and why states accept irregular migrants. By providing new comparative, empirical, qualitative material which allows to start filling an evident gap in the current research on irregular migration, this book is of interest to graduate students, scholars and policy makers.
Download or read book Cosmos written by Carl Sagan and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2013-12-10 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RETURNING TO TELEVISION AS AN ALL-NEW MINISERIES ON FOX Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books of all time. In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space. Featuring a new Introduction by Sagan’s collaborator, Ann Druyan, full color illustrations, and a new Foreword by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Cosmos retraces the fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter into consciousness, exploring such topics as the origin of life, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, spacecraft missions, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies, and the forces and individuals who helped to shape modern science. Praise for Cosmos “Magnificent . . . With a lyrical literary style, and a range that touches almost all aspects of human knowledge, Cosmos often seems too good to be true.”—The Plain Dealer “Sagan is an astronomer with one eye on the stars, another on history, and a third—his mind’s—on the human condition.”—Newsday “Brilliant in its scope and provocative in its suggestions . . . shimmers with a sense of wonder.”—The Miami Herald “Sagan dazzles the mind with the miracle of our survival, framed by the stately galaxies of space.”—Cosmopolitan “Enticing . . . iridescent . . . imaginatively illustrated.”—The New York Times Book Review
Download or read book Manuscript Poetics written by Francesco Marco Aresu and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manuscript Poetics explores the interrelationship between the material features of textual artifacts and the literary aspects of the medieval Italian texts they preserve. This original study is both an investigation into the material foundations of literature and a reflection on notions of textuality, writing, and media in late medieval and early modern Italy. Francesco Marco Aresu examines the book-objects of manuscripts and early printed editions, asking questions about the material conditions of production, circulation, and reception of literary works. He invites scholars to reconcile reading with seeing (and with touching) and to challenge contemporary presumptions about technological neutrality and the modes of interfacing and reading. Manuscript Poetics investigates the correspondences between textuality and materiality, content and medium, and visual-verbal messages and their physical support through readings of Dante Alighieri’s Vita nova, Giovanni Boccaccio’s Teseida, and Francesco Petrarca’s canzoniere (Rerum vulgarium fragmenta). Aresu shows that Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarca evaluated and deployed the tools of scribal culture to shape, signal, or layer meanings beyond those they conveyed in their written texts. Medieval texts, Aresu argues, are uniquely positioned to provide this perspective, and they are foundational to the theoretical understanding of new forms and materials in our media-saturated contemporary world.

Download or read book Estudos pr socr ticos na Am rica Latina written by Alexandre Costa and published by Odysseus Editora. This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O trabalho de reconstituição da história da filosofia na Antiguidade se confunde com aquele da investigação sobre os processos de transmissão, de recepção e de discussão dos textos. E, no caso dos Pré-Socráticos, isso se traduz no exame crítico dos testemunhos e comentários gerados no contexto da discussão de suas teses e dos fragmentos de obras originalmente elaboradas nos duzentos anos da primeira idade da filosofia grega, e citados ao longo de pelo menos um milênio por diversas gerações de autores antigos que se debruçaram sobre o seu pensamento. Estas são as nossas principais fontes para o estudo deste período da história do pensamento antigo: graças a esses autores dispomos de um material literário responsável por consolidar um rico e complexo fenómeno de recepção que permitiu, historicamente, a efetiva constituição de um legado dessas obras perdidas em sua original integridade. Nesse processo de transmissão, pelo menos duas perspectivas se distinguem e se complementam: aquela da historiografia filosófica e aquela da doxografia. Diante delas, uma habilidade se delineia e se impõe ao estudioso dos primeiros tempos da filosofia: é preciso saber ler os textos. Isso pressupõe, entre outras coisas, que se dê a devida atenção ao contexto em que cada fragmento de pensamento foi transmitido (quando isso é possível) e à discussão suscitada pelas teses nele expostas, à intertextualidade de cada uma das fontes de que dispomos para abordar um determinado pensador e suas ideias, além de um cuidadoso manuseio das ferramentas da paleografia e da filologia. Uma obra em particular foi responsável, no início do século XX, por atrair a atenção dos estudiosos para esse período da Filosofia Antiga. Trata-se dos Fragmente der Vorsokratiker,de Hermann Diels, coletânea posteriormente revista e incrementada com as contribuições de Walther Kranz. A coletânea por eles estabelecida se tornou uma primeira referência para os estudos que se seguiram sobre um ou outro autor, sobre uma ou outra tradição do que se convencionou denominar de "filosofia pré-socrática". Com efeito, para além do terreno das traduções e do estabelecimento de texto das coletâneas dos Pré-Socráticos, o âmbito dos estudos consagrados aos primeiros pensadores da tradição filosófica vem assistindo nos últimos anos a um crescimento significativo do número de pesquisadores, estudantes e professores que passaram a se interessar e se ocupar, de maneira mais direta e duradora, do pensamento filosófico desse período da Antiguidade Grega, que se inicia na transição do século VII para o VI a.C. e se estende até o século V a.C. Em toda a América Latina dissertações e teses, artigos, livros e capítulos de livros vêm sendo dedicados aos principais representantes deste período, abordando uma grande variedade de temas e problemas, e adotando diferentes perspectivas metodológicas, contribuindo para fomentar uma comunidade de estudiosos votados a este campo de estudo e pesquisa, que vem se consolidando nos últimos anos e se encontra em franco movimento de expansão. Os textos são apresentados na língua original e traduzidos para o inglês.

Download or read book Thinking about the Environment written by T. M. Robinson and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should the work of the ancient and the medievals, so far as it relates to nature, still be of interest and an inspiration to us now? The contributions to this enlightening volume explore and uncover contemporary scholarship's debt to the classical and medieval past. Thinking About the Environment synthesizes religious thought and environmental theory to trace a trajectory from Mesopotamian mythology and classical and Hellenistic Greek, through classical Latin writers, to medieval Christian views of the natural world and our relationship with it. The work also offers medieval Arabic and Jewish views on humanity's inseparability from nature. The volume concludes with a study of the breakdown between science and value in contemporary ecological thought. Thinking About the Environment will be a invaluable source book for those seeking to address environmental ethics from a historical perspective.
Download or read book Dante s Plurilingualism written by Sara Fortuna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dante's conception of language is encompassed in all his works and can be understood in terms of a strenuous defence of the volgare in tension with the prestige of Latin. By bringing together different approaches, from literary studies to philosophy and history, from aesthetics to queer studies, from psychoanalysis to linguistics, this volume offers new critical insights on the question of Dantes language, engaging with both the philosophical works characterized by an original project of vulgarization, and the poetic works, which perform a new language in an innovative and self-reflexive way. In particular, Dantes Plurilingualism explores the rich and complex way in which Dantes linguistic theory and praxis both informs and reflects an original configuration of the relationship between authority, knowledge and identity that continues to be fascinated by an ideal of unity but is also imbued with a strong element of subjectivity and opens up towards multiplicity and modernity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partendo da un'analisi dell'antica tradizione e della dottrina segreta dei Rosacroce, l'autore ne approfondisce lasimbologia più occulta attraverso alcuni aforismi fondamentali e l'interpretazione della loro rappresentazione grafica. Tra gli altri argomenti, esamina l'unità della materia, i piani di coscienza, la metempsicosi e i sette principi cosmici che governano l'Universo. Tali principi si rifanno alla tradizione alchemica più classica il cui insegnamento per analogia viene ripreso da Magus Incognito. "Così in alto, come in basso", durante il proprio soggiorno sulla terra, l'anima umana progredisce in una sequenza il cui moto si evolve a forma di spirale e che conduce verso la propria evoluzione e liberazione. Illustrato con i 12 simboli dei Rosacroce.

Book excerpt: È una guerra? Come si vive in una guerra? Specialmente per chi non la vive e non la comprende? Non é difficile comprendere una guerra, ci sono morti e distruzione, non c'è altro, solo questo. La guerra si comincia sempre per lo stesso motivo, in qualunque tempo e in qualunque luogo e la combattono i soldati.In questo libro ci sono molti soldati, chi combatte per spirito d'avventura e chi lo fa per mestiere. Seguitene qualcuno nelle sue avventure, rimanete in mezzo alla guerra o state discostato dalla guerra, troverete sempre dolore ed apprensione.Prendete quegli uomini, che cercano solo di sopravvivere, non potete farne una colpa se a volte trascinano la lotta ai suoi estremi. Ci si dimentica d'essere uomini, di essere umani, la vita va oltre a questo, ci trascina in situazioni che nemmeno ce ne accorgiamo e facciamo cose che in altri momenti avremmo aborrito.
