Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: big history and the future of humanity “This remains the best single attempt to theorize big history as a discipline that can link core concepts and paradigms across all historical disciplines, from cosmology to geology, from biology to human history. With additional and updated material, the Second Edition also offers a fine introduction to the history of big history and a superb introductory survey to the big history story. Essential reading for anyone interested in a rapidly evolving new field of scholarship that links the sciences and the humanities into a modern, science-based origin story.” David Christian, Macquarie University “Notable for its theoretic approach, this new Second Edition is both an indispensable contribution to the emerging big history narrative and a powerful university textbook. Spier defines words carefully and recognizes the limits of current knowledge, aspects of his own clear thinking.” Cynthia Brown, Emerita, Dominican University of California Reflecting the latest theories in the sciences and humanities, this new edition of Big History and the Future of Humanity presents an accessible and original overview of the entire sweep of history from the origins of the universe and life on Earth up to the present day. Placing the relatively brief period of human history within a much broader framework – one that considers everything from vast galaxy clusters to the tiniest sub-atomic particles – big history is an innovative theoretical approach that opens up entirely new multidisciplinary research agendas. Noted historian Fred Spier reveals how a thorough examination of patterns of complexity can offer richer insights into what the future may have in store for humanity. The second edition includes new learning features, such as highlighted scientific concepts, an illustrative timeline and comprehensive glossary. By exploring the cumulative history from the Big Bang to the modern day, Big History and the Future of Humanity, Second Edition, sheds important historical light on where we have been – and offers a tantalizing glimpse of what lies ahead.

Book excerpt: El rótulo que define la línea argumental que el autor recorre en este libro, es el que corresponde al subtítulo: Sólo se puede ser, siendo con otros. La suficiencia o el déficit de ese ser con los otros, define la magnitud que alcanza la cualidad fundamental que el título designa: El interés en la vida. Se trata de inter-essere, de ser “entre” otros, y en esa ineludible realidad de la vida, que ocurrirá bien o mal, pero que inevitablemente ocurre, reside la forma buena o mala en que nos alcanzarán la cosas de la vida, aquellas que, sin poderlo evitar, nos importaron, nos importan, y nos importarán, siempre, mucho más de lo que a veces preferimos creer. Los capítulos de este volumen intentan mostrar, casi esquemáticamente, centrándose en las ramas, y dejando el follaje, que escapa a las posibilidades de un libro singular, no sólo las distintas vicisitudes, sino también las circunstancias del mundo en que vivimos, que nos conducen hacia las formas habituales en que la ineludible condición de ser entre otros, conviviendo, ingresa a veces en pesadumbres y carencias que son típicas de las épocas que una vida recorre. Contemplar desde ese ángulo las pesadumbres y carencias que suelen colocarnos “en los umbrales de la enfermedad”, no sólo nos ilumina “desde el alma” lo que muchas veces sucede en el cuerpo, también nos permite comprender cómo el alma se “conforma”, mejor o peor, resonando a su manera con el espíritu que impregna su entorno.

Download or read book El Hombre Azar o Dise o written by José Francisco Martinez Garcia and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El hombre ¿azar o diseño?" En esta obra se hace una exposición sucinta de fenómenos y elementos materiales que conforman el universo y, por tanto, también al ser humano, como un ser que tiene cuerpo y vida, y por ello sometido a leyes físicas y biológicas, pero que se desempeña trascendiendo esta clase de leyes. El hombre no puede tener su origen sólo en la materia bruta. Los acontecimientos del cosmos que le preceden, tampoco justifican suficientemente su existencia y su naturaleza, que desborda y trasciende la materia. Siendo el hombre un ser inteligente, su existencia demanda una causa inteligente, superior a él, causa que no se encuentra ni en el azar ni en la materia. En este entramado se conjugan la filosofía, la ciencia, el arte, la historia y la religión.

This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic conception of human transcendental consciousness assumes its self-supporting existential status within the horizon of life-world, nature and earth. Yet this assumed absoluteness does not entail the nature of its powers, neither their constitutive force. This latter call for an existential source reaching beyond the generative life-world network. Transcendental consciousness, having lost its absolute status (its point of reference) it is the role of the logos to lay down the harmonious positioning in the cosmic sphere of the all, establishing an original foundation of phenomenology in the primogenital ontopoiesis of life.

Download or read book Tratado de la redondez de la tierra written by Sor María de Jesús de Ágreda and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta es la primera edicion critica en espanol del Tratado sobre la redondez de la Tierra, ensayo cosmologico y geografico nacido de la "ciencia infusa" (conocimento transmitido por la divinidad), atribuido a Sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda (Agreda, Soria, Espana, 1602-1665). Maria Coronel de Arana es posiblemente una de las figuras mas misteriosas y controvertidas de la Edad Moderna. No solo como personaje historico o literario, su vida y su obra reunen numerosos aspectos aun por descifrar que han dado lugar a una sugerente mitologia cultural de dimension transatlantica, abierta a sumar nuevas interpretaciones y significados. Figura politica, teologica y legendaria, Sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda se transforma en un significante cultural que no deja de acumular capas de sentido. Una de ellas, todavia poco explorada, es la atribucion del Tratado sobre la redondez de la tierra. Este volumen indaga en las razones para la atribucion a Sor Maria de Jesus, considerando su dimension de imagen cultural y transoceanica que rebasa la individualidad concreta. Tratamos diferentes aspectos de la vida, la obra, el contexto cultural y la tradicion desde la que se la leyo y puede leerse tambien en el siglo XXI. El Tratado se enmarca en el espacio de produccion cultural femenina conventual, sin el que no puede entenderse la figura de la autora, ni la escritura de mujeres en la epoca, no solo observando los generos mas conocidos del convento, sino una tradicion todavia por recuperar: la del conocimiento cientifico, que, aunque presente entre sus muros, apenas ha recibido atencion critica.
