Download or read book El sentido de la existencia humana written by Edward O. Wilson and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Cuál es el origen de la humanidad? ¿Por qué existe una especie como la nuestra en el planeta Tierra? ¿Gozamos de una posición privilegiada, cuál es nuestro destino en el universo? ¿Adónde nos dirigimos? Y quizás la pregunta más difícil de todas: ¿Por qué? En El sentido de la existencia humana, su obra más filosófica hasta la fecha, el biólogo Edward O. Wilson se lleva a sus lectores de viaje para disfrutar qué es lo que nos hace tan especiales del resto de especies, pero también nos invita a un ejercicio de humildad que nos capacite para apreciar la fascinación que ocultan el resto de especies y el mundo natural. Autor de inmenso prestigio —es ganador de dos premios Pulitzer y ha acuñado conceptos como «biodiversidad»—, a la par que polémico expone en este último libro sus teorías más acabadas sobre nuestra existencia, y tiende un valioso puente entre las ciencias y las humanidades para crear un tratado sobre la existencia humana propio del siglo XXI, desde nuestros orígenes más lejanos hasta una mirada sugestiva sobre lo que nos depara el futuro.
Download or read book Animal of realities written by Xosé Gabriel Vázquez Fernández and published by Letrame Grupo Editorial. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our definition as rational animals has expired, since we now know that other species also have that characteristic. Hence the inquiry in this regard and its corresponding result, which are addressed in this book and whose conclusion is that evolution itself has endowed us with something specific: our ability to devise, based on which all and only sapiens live an external reality, in relation to the environment, and an internal reality, based on our personal worldview, and which we also symbolize, especially through language and other cultural expressions. That is why our closest definition corresponds to that of Animal of realities. To facilitate both the exposure and understanding of this proposal, it is summarized in a File or Identity Card that informs about our origin, nature, essence and spirit; also described by a triple metaphor: "The Democritus Effect, to demonstrate the capacity for ideation of homo sapiens. "The Marseillaise Effect, to illustrate how that capacity is transformed into culture. "And the Ashoka Effect, so that we can direct this capacity towards companies of a social nature. In summary, this book deals with our identity essence, raison d'être and "universal passport", based on our nature and evolutionary specification. Metaphorically, it can also be said that it contains more information and applications than any device, and that it is easily activated: through interest. If you want to know why and for what we are here and, ultimately, what is our identity and our fit into this Universe, both individually and collectively
Download or read book Nomos Kosmos Dike in Plutarch written by José Ribeiro Ferreira and published by Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra / Coimbra University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2002, the University of Coimbra hosted, for the first time, a conference of the Réseau Thématique Plutarque, a research network created by several European universities in order to promote regular annual meetings of junior and senior scholars who share a common interest in Plutarch's work. The Coimbra meeting of 2002 was devoted to the fragments of Plutarch, and the results of that event were published one year later, in a volume edited by José Ribeiro Ferreira and Delfim Leão, under the title Os fragmentos de Plutarco e a recepção da sua obra (Coimbra, 2003). During the following years, many other universities organized conferences of the Réseau on a rotating basis, until the event came back to Coimbra, where the Portuguese section of the International Plutarch Society (SoPlutarco) hosted, from 16 to 18 June 2011, the twelfth meeting of the network, devoted this time to the subject "Nomos, kosmos and dike in Plutarch". The present volume comprises most of the contributions presented during the Coimbra meeting, after having been submitted to a process of revision, which involved the direct collaboration of the several regional sections of the Réseau. Although the volume kept the multilingual diversity of the participants in the conference, its structuring elements were composed in English, in order to reinforce the coherence of the book and to enlarge the number of potential readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is hardly a more controversial issue in the study of ancient religion than Orphism. More than two centuries of debate have not closed the subject, since new evidence and divergent approaches have kept appearing regularly. This volume sheds light on the most relevant pieces of evidence for ancient Orphism, collected in the recent edition by Alberto Bernabé. It contains 65 short new studies on Orphic fragments by leading international scholars who comment one of the most controversial phenomena in Antiquity from a plurality of perspectives. Readers will acquire a global vision of the multiple dimensions of the Orphic tradition, as well as many new insights into particular Orphic fragments.
Download or read book Communicology of the South written by Carlos F. Del Valle Rojas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-29 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses new conceptual bases for thinking critically about communication as a necessary way in which to confront power, property and the market as part of the daily resistance of Latin American subaltern cultures. The chapters research an urgent field of situated knowledge and spark a much-needed dialogue. The editors view emancipatory communication experiences as disruptive acts of resistance, prompted mainly by social movements. These experiences have opened up political modes of communication by establishing a decolonising axis in the field of communication and reconstructing the history and memory of Latin America. This book is a valuable reference for researchers, academics and students interested in the role of communication and culture in processes of social transformation.

Download or read book Psychiatry and Neuroscience Update written by Pascual Ángel Gargiulo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This broad and thought-provoking volume provides an overview of recent intellectual and scientific advances that bridge the gap between psychiatry and neuroscience, offering a wide range of penetrating insights in both disciplines. The third volume on the topic in the last several years from a varying panel of international experts, this title identifies the borders, trends and implications in both fields today and goes beyond that into related disciplines to seek out connections and influences. Similar to its two Update book predecessors, Psychiatry and Neuroscience – Volume III presents the current state-of-the-art in the main disciplines – psychiatry and neuroscience – and attempts to provide deeper comprehension or explication of the normal and diseased human mind, its biological correlates and its biographical and existential implications. This engaging volume continues the previous style of exploring different disciplines and trying to integrate disciplinary evidence from varying points of view in an organic manner. Developed for clinicians and researchers in the fields of medicine, psychiatry, psychology and biology, this third volume also will be of great interest to students and university professors of diverse disciplines.
Download or read book Phenomenology of Life and the Human Creative Condition written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-12-31 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-individualization has been interpreted as the process in which the all-embracing Self unfolds into an infinite variety of different individ uals, plants, animals and men. A comparison of the different ways in which the Self manifests itself in the biological and psychological devel opmental processes, or in a visionary image of the undivided Self, reveals the same basic structure of expression. The Self, the one, is represented by a circular domain, and comprises a basic inner duality, the two, creating a paradox of conflicting opposites. In the undivided Self the two give rise to a trinity in which, however, a quatemity is hidden. The latter expresses itself in this world as the four basic forces, the four Elements or the four main archetypes, specifying the possibilities or development in space and time. Self-individualization starts with the first appearance of a primary structure of an individual sub-Self. This is the fifth basic force, the fifth Element. Further development is character ized by four generative principles: 1st, the principle of wholeness: connection and integration (being oriented to remaining whole or restoring wholeness); 2nd, the principle of complementarity and com pensation (a periodic shift between opposing influences); 3rd, the enstructuring principle (causing the relative stability of the spatial appear ance of the manifest structure), and 4th, the principle of gesture (resulting in a gradual stepwise development of that structure into a full-grown individual).
Download or read book Reactive scattering for H H2 and H H2 and its isotopologues written by Dequan Wang and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reactive scattering for H- + H2 and H+ + H2 and its isotopologues were investigated using different methods. The studies aimed at providing insights into elementary reactions, and go beyond these to more complexchemical reactions. By comparison of the reaction probabilities of H+ + H2 using adiabatic and non-adiabatic methods, it was found that, at low collision energies, the reaction preferentially occurs adiabatically, but at higher collision energies non-adiabatic effects should be taken into account. For H- + H2 and its isotopologues, we can see that, at low collision energies, the reaction probabilities and reaction cross section using SM-PES and AY-PES are very similar but different from PS-PES. The reaction cross sections investigated with quasi-classical trajectoriesare higher than those calculated with quantum wavepackets. For the collision H- and D- with HD, the main reaction path ways are different with the different collision energies.
