Book excerpt: A Bruce Lee se le atribuye la introducci?n de Oriente en las pantallas plateadas de Occidente. La muerte prematura de Lee a la edad de treinta y dos a?os conmocion? a los peri?dicos y estaciones de televisi?n de todo el mundo. Su mayor pasi?n en su vida fue el Kung Fu, un antiguo arte marcial chino desconocido en Occidente hasta 1965, a?o en que hizo su primera aparici?n en televisi?n. Bruce Lee, un maestro de Kung Fu, actor y fil?sofo, encarn? el concepto de una persona completa, con un cuerpo fuerte y una mente cr?tica. Estudi? durante nueve a?os un sistema de Kung Fu chino llamado Wing Chun y es considerado uno de los exponentes m?s talentosos y elocuentes de las artes. Su maestro en este arte fue un anciano maestro chino de Hong Kong llamado Yip Man. Adem?s de tener un gran inter?s por las artes marciales, Lee tambi?n ten?a un gusto muy distinguido por la filosof?a y la literatura. Fue un ferviente lector de Confucio. Trat? de incorporar la filosof?a y las ense?anzas de Confucio a su vida. El inter?s de Bruce Lee por la filosof?a, distinguido por el ethos occidental como amor por el conocimiento, fue una pasi?n que lo acompa?? durante toda su vida. Ense?? a los estadounidenses sobre la filosof?a y la cultura chinas durante seis a?os. Dio conferencias en el noroeste del Pac?fico sobre los aspectos m?s sutiles del pensamiento chino. En una entrevista concedida a Pierre Berton el 9 de diciembre de 1971, dijo: "¿Sabes c?mo quiero pensar en m? mismo?" Como ser humano, y no quiero sonar como Confucio, pero solo hay una familia bajo el cielo, bajo el cielo, hombre. "Da la casualidad, hombre, que las personas son diferentes".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1972 Stephen Jay Gould took the scientific world by storm with his paper on punctuated equilibrium. Challenging a core assumption of Darwin's theory of evolution, it launched the controversial idea that the majority of species originates in geological moments (punctuations) and persists in stasis. Now, thirty-five years later, Punctuated Equilibrium offers his only book-length testament on a theory he fiercely promoted, repeatedly refined, and tirelessly defended.

Download or read book Mission of the University written by Jose Ortega y Gasset and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1930, the great Spanish philosopher Jos Ortega y Gasset set forth a program for reforming the modern Spanish university. Aware that the missions of the university are many and often competing, Ortega built his program around a conception of a "general culture" that knows no national boundaries or time limits and could fit into any national system of higher education. His ideas are especially pertinent to contemporary debate in America over curriculum development and the purpose of education. In this volume Ortega sought to answer two essential questions: what is the knowledge most worth knowing by all students and what is the function of the university in a modern democracy? Basing his answers on his own deep personal culture and an extensive knowledge of the various European university systems, Ortega defined four primary missions: the teaching of the learned professions, the fostering of scientific research, training for political leadership, and finally the creation of cultured persons with the ability to make intellectual interpretations of the world. Ortega's understanding of "general culture" is set out in great detail here. He meant an active engagement in ideas and issues that were both historical and contemporary. His concern is with the classical problems of justice, the good society, who should rule, and the responsibilities of citizenship. This edition first published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Download or read book The Mismeasure of Man Revised and Expanded written by Stephen Jay Gould and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2006-06-17 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive refutation to the argument of The Bell Curve. When published in 1981, The Mismeasure of Man was immediately hailed as a masterwork, the ringing answer to those who would classify people, rank them according to their supposed genetic gifts and limits. And yet the idea of innate limits—of biology as destiny—dies hard, as witness the attention devoted to The Bell Curve, whose arguments are here so effectively anticipated and thoroughly undermined by Stephen Jay Gould. In this edition Dr. Gould has written a substantial new introduction telling how and why he wrote the book and tracing the subsequent history of the controversy on innateness right through The Bell Curve. Further, he has added five essays on questions of The Bell Curve in particular and on race, racism, and biological determinism in general. These additions strengthen the book's claim to be, as Leo J. Kamin of Princeton University has said, "a major contribution toward deflating pseudo-biological 'explanations' of our present social woes."

Download or read book Philosophy en noir written by Miroslav Petříček and published by Charles University in Prague, Karolinum Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thought necessarily reflects the times. Following the tragedy of the Holocaust, this fact became ever more clear. And it may be the reason postwar philosophical texts are so difficult to understand, since they confront incomprehensibly traumatic experiences. In this first English-language translation of any of his books, Miroslav Petříček — one of the most influential and erudite Czech philosophers, and a student of Jan Patočka — argues that to exist in the second half of the twentieth century and beyond, Western philosophy has had to rewrite its tradition and its discourse, radically transforming itself. Should philosophy be capable of bearing witness to the time, Petříček contends, this metamorphosis in philosophy is necessary. Offering an original Central European perspective on postwar philosophical discourse that reflects upon the historical underpinnings of pop culture phenomena and complex philosophical schools — including Adorno, Agamben, Benjamin, Derrida, Husserl, Kracauer, and many others — Philosophy en noir is a record of this transformation
