Download or read book On the Nature of the Universe written by Lucretius and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-10-09 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Therefore this terror and darkness of the mind Not by the sun's rays, nor the bright shafts of day, Must be dispersed, as is most necessary, But by the face of nature and her laws.' Lucretius' poem On the Nature of the Universe combines a scientific and philosophical treatise with some of the greatest poetry ever written. With intense moral fervour Lucretius demonstrates to humanity that in death there is nothing to fear since the soul is mortal, and the world and everything in it is governed not by the gods, but by the mechanical laws of nature. By believing this, men can live in peace of mind and happiness. Lucretius bases his argument on the atomic theory expounded by the Greek philosopher Epicurus. His poem explores sensation, sex, cosmology, meteorology, and geology through acute observation of the beauties of the natural world and with moving sympathy for man's place in it. Sir Ronald Melville's accessible and accurate verse translation is complemented by an introduction and notes situating Lucretius' scientific theories within the thought of 1st century BCE Rome and discussing the Epicurean philosophy that was his inspiration and why the issues Lucretius' poem raisies about the scientific and poetical views of the world continue to be important. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Theory of the Universe A geological truth must command our assent as powerfully as that of the existence of our own minds. President Hitchcock says: Geology is not indeed insensible to the displays of the divine character which are exhibited on the present theatre of the world. Indeed, she distinctly recognizes the act which is now passing as the most perfect of all. Yet this scene of the great drama she regards as only one of the units of a similar series of changes that have gone by, or will hereafter come; the chain stretches so far into the eternity that is past and the eternity that is to come, that the extremities are lost to mortal Vision.

Download or read book The Living Universe Classic Reprint written by Henry Truro Bray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Living Universe It 1s not at all probable that the author will ever write another book; nor would he be inclined to publish this, did he not feel that he owes it to the world. Socrates told the Court that he was moved by the indwelling Spirit to teach as he had taught; and thousands of others before and since have felt compelled to give utterance to thoughts not altogether originating in themselves. And if it is true that the Universal Mind may thus cause to vibrate the brain or the soul of the devout and sensitive scholar who, in realms of thought where positive science gives no de terminate answer to his question, having used 1n vain all known philosophic and scientific aids, has devoutly and earnestly attempted to give voice to the silent whisperings of the Universal Self, who is never far from any of his creatures, surely it is neither a conceit nor blasphemous nor irreligious nor irrational for the writer to hope and believe that help at times may thus have been given him. It is now about twenty-two years since the writer was deposed from the Episcopal Church. He still has no hard feeling against the bishop who deposed him, nor does he feel any repentance for having set forth teachings that led to his deposition; nor will he ever forget the great kindness of those to whom he ministered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Hegelian Cosmology Chapters V and VI of this book appeared, nearly in their present form, in the International Journal of Ethics. (July 1896, and July 1897.) The other chapters have not been previously published. In referring to Hegel's works I have used the Collected Edition, the publication of which began in 1832. For purposes of quotation I have generally availed myself of Wallace's translation of the Encyclopaedia, of Dyde's translation of the Philosophy of Law, and of Spiers' and Sanderson's translation of the Philosophy of Religion. I am much indebted to Mr G. L. Dickinson, of King's College in Cambridge, and to my wife, for their kindness in reading this book before its publication, and assisting me with many valuable suggestions. The changes in the second edition are not numerous. When they are more than verbal, I have called attention to them in notes.

Download or read book Universe and You Classic Reprint written by Helen Howell Neal and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Universe and You The Universe and You is an outgrowth of Neal's years of teaching at Knox College and then at Tufts College. His courses, known as Man's Place in Nature and Theoretical Biology, evolved through the advances of science and the questions of his students. Their problems suggested the need of this book. It might be described as a course in the emer gence of philosophy out of biology. It is something more than philosophy; it is the birth of reflection about man and the world from the direct encounter with science, at the frontier of its enquiry into truth. It raises the wish that the philosopher latent in every scientist might come to a similar clarity and candor in the statement of what remains to be known. Death leaves no thinker the choice at what stage his work shall be interrupted. Some manuscripts have been left all but complete; some have been barely outlined. In this case the plan was made, and much of the writing done; but there were large gaps, and the question was an open one whether a completion could be attempted. In the nature of the work, it was not a biological supplement that was needed; nor yet a philosophical supplement. It was the carrying out of a point of View, characteristic of the author, into a wealth of material embracing parts of the area of many sciences. It could be done, if at all, only by one to whom that view was second nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Universal One written by Walter Russell and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universal One" is a book written by Walter Russell that explains his new Cosmology. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Russell science and philosophy. The book reveals the possibility of transmutation of the elements and unites spiritual cause and scientifically observable effect in a seamless whole. Russell later revised some of the content of the book in "The Secret of Light" and "A New Concept of the Universe". The book is a century or more ahead of its time and is now appealing to many people who are examining the nature of science and consciousness. The universe is a multiplicity of changing effects of but one unchanging cause. All things are universal, and nothing is of itself alone. When man knows this in measurable exactness, then he will have no limitations within those which are universal. The Universal One is Walter Russell's first expression of his new Cosmology explaining the Mind-centered electric universe. Though he would revise his theory somewhat over the years, this is the first and basic description of his new Cosmology. Lavishing illustrated, it sets out his views on God, the Universe, matter and Man's place in the world as he searches for a path to god. In this historic volume, Walter Russell first reveals the possibility of transmutation of the elements. This illustrated treatise is Russell's scientific explanation of God's ways and processes in the construction of the Universe and provides a guide for illuminating Man's proper way of living during the long journey to the Light of God.
