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".

Download or read book The Big Picture written by Sean Carroll and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller about humanity's place in the universe—and how we understand it. “Vivid...impressive....Splendidly informative.”—The New York Times “Succeeds spectacularly.”—Science “A tour de force.”—Salon Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on Higgs bosons and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions: Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void? Do human purpose and meaning fit into a scientific worldview? In short chapters filled with intriguing historical anecdotes, personal asides, and rigorous exposition, readers learn the difference between how the world works at the quantum level, the cosmic level, and the human level—and then how each connects to the other. Carroll's presentation of the principles that have guided the scientific revolution from Darwin and Einstein to the origins of life, consciousness, and the universe is dazzlingly unique. Carroll shows how an avalanche of discoveries in the past few hundred years has changed our world and what really matters to us. Our lives are dwarfed like never before by the immensity of space and time, but they are redeemed by our capacity to comprehend it and give it meaning. The Big Picture is an unprecedented scientific worldview, a tour de force that will sit on shelves alongside the works of Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Daniel Dennett, and E. O. Wilson for years to come.
Download or read book Kant s Philosophy of the Unconscious written by Piero Giordanetti and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unconscious raises relevant problems in the theory of knowledge as regards non-conceptual contents and obscure representations. In the philosophy of mind, it bears on the topic of the unity of consciousness and the notion of the transcendental Self. It is a key-topic of logic with respect to the distinction between determinate-indeterminate judgments and prejudices, and in aesthetics it appears in connection with the problems of reflective judgments and of the genius. Finally, it is a relevant issue also in moral philosophy in defining the irrational aspects of the human being. The purpose of the present volume is to fill a substantial gap in Kant research while offering a comprehensive survey of the topic in different areas of research, such as history of philosophy, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, moral philosophy, and anthropology.

Download or read book Church written by Michael G. Lawler and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is taken for granted today among theologians that the principal achievement of the Second Vatican Council was its Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium. It is beginning to be equally taken for granted that the core of this central document is its vision of Church as communion. "Communion," Pope John Paul II has said, "is the very mystery of the Church." Church: A Spirited Communion grows out of the ecclesiology of the Council as a systematic treatment of this notion of communion. Church: A Spirited Communion is not, however, a book only about the Church. It is a book about the God whom Christians confess as Triune, who calls the Church into existence and who seeks its commitment in every age. It is a book about the Church only to the extent that the Church is in communion with this God. To the extent that it is a book which is primarily theo-logical and only secondarily ecclesio-logical, it is a book which adheres to God rather than to men and summons the Church to do the same.

Download or read book Philosophical Analysis in Latin America written by J.J. Gracia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians of Latin American philosophy have paid relatively little attention to the development of philosophical analysis in Latin America. There are two reasons for this neglect: First, they have been primarily concerned with the forma tive period of philosophical development, in particular with the so called "founders" of La ti n American philosophy. And second. philosophical analysis did not become a noticeable philosophical trend in Latin America until recent years. True. a nunber of Latin American philosophers took notice of Moore. Russell. the members of the Vienna Circle and other important figures in the analytic movement qui te early. But these were isolated instances that lacked the sustained effort and broad base indispensible to make a serious impact in the development of Latin American philosophy. That has changed now. There are not only good numbers of philosophers who work within the analytic tradition, but also some journals and institutes dedicated to the analytic mode of philosophizing. It is. therefore. most appropriate to publish a collection of articles which would introduce the reader of philosophy to the most representative analytic material produced so far in Latin America. Indeed. it is not only appropriate. but also necessary. since most of the published analytic literature to date is scattered in various journals, sometimes of difficult access. Moreover, not all that has been published is representative of the best already produced and of the potential that the movement has in Latin America.
