This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Dhanjoo Ghista about the Book The author has done admirable work to develop the concept of Microvita and its synthesis, from the medieval question of whether there are 'universalia ante res' impinging on our destiny and fortune, to a model of the atomic nucleus, onto how Devayonis and Pretayonis can be produced pairwise or apart by the action of the neutral and the positive or negative creation operator respectively. Thereafter, we learn how imperialism, together with its different forms, such as capitalism and nationalism, all have one psychological base. This comes about through diminishing the interest for the sublime and enhancing the interest for material goods. Thereafter, we journey from Microvita network formation (clustering, representation, synchronisation and coherency), to Microvita in the context of the Neo-Leibnizian World Model and quantum monadology, whereby consciousness should not be interpreted by our daily experiences, but as an introspectively realized state. Finally, we recognize how Microvita give rise to what is known (in Sanskrit) as advaetadvaeta'dvaetava'da, meaning non-dualistic dualistic non-dualism: Non-dualism from dusk to dawn, dualism only in the daytime of existence.
Download or read book Microvita written by Dr. Hans-Joachim Rudolph MRI and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-06-24 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the fascinating work of Dr. Hans-Joachim Rudolph to portray the concept of Microvita in a physics framework that can be studied objectively. It offers a smooth integration of Microvita (units of consciousness) into a well-grounded scientific scenario, consistent with the equations of Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and Schrdinger. It also provides a link between the worlds of perception and conception and implies that the distinct disciplines of physics, biology, psychology, and mathematics can be merged into one science of everything. So what has Dr. Rudolph done? To explain the mind-body problem, he has structured a universal grid, consisting of the cognitive and operative aspects of the supreme causal factor. Its lattice width is in the range of Planck length and can release 2x2 matrices of primary matter as well as complex 4x4 matrices, which contain the key qualities of elementary particles. Then, by means of a modified positive or negative creation operator, particles can be produced, which contain imaginary representations of the opposite qualities, thereby modeling the phenomenon of quantum entanglement - an approach that provides the basis of our universal interconnectedness. Let us now enter the arena of human propensities and self-realization, which is of prime concern to all of us: Dr. Rudolph postulates that neuronal assemblies are quantum objects, susceptible to a Quantum Zeno-like effect. Their electrical activities are transient and unstable, but can be stabilized by the production and annihilation of quasiparticles at defined frequencies () and durations (t), which is, in turn, controlled by sets of synchronized Microvita. In this context, three levels of Microvita are to be distinguished: biological, psychological, and spiritual. Energization of the chakras in meditation can stimulate Microvita to cause biological regeneration and disease curing as well as to attain higher consciousness attributes. Then, ideating on and illuminating the mind with cosmic consciousness can attract spiritual Microvita to help rejuvenate the mind by dissolving its embedded psychic impressions, leading to self-realization. Thus it can be seen that Microvita have a distinctive role in guiding our life journey towards its cosmic abode. I greatly complement Dr. Rudolph for this book, which will hopefully invoke the interest of many independent minds to explore and discover the new science of Microvita.

Download or read book Regions and Powers written by Barry Buzan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the idea that since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.
Download or read book The Moral Imagination written by John Paul Lederach and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Paul Lederach's work in the field of conciliation and mediation is internationally recognized. He has provided consultation, training and direct mediation in a range of situations from the Miskito/Sandinista conflict in Nicaragua to Somalia, Northern Ireland, Tajikistan, and the Philippines. His influential 1997 book Building Peace has become a classic in the discipline. In this book, Lederach poses the question, "How do we transcend the cycles of violence that bewitch our human community while still living in them?" Peacebuilding, in his view, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, he says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act-an exercise of what Lederach terms the "moral imagination." This imagination must, however, emerge from and speak to the hard realities of human affairs. The peacebuilder must have one foot in what is and one foot beyond what exists. The book is organized around four guiding stories that point to the moral imagination but are incomplete. Lederach seeks to understand what happened in these individual cases and how they are relevant to large-scale change. His purpose is not to propose a grand new theory. Instead he wishes to stay close to the "messiness" of real processes and change, and to recognize the serendipitous nature of the discoveries and insights that emerge along the way. overwhelmed the equally important creative process. Like most professional peacemakers, Lederach sees his work as a religious vocation. Lederach meditates on his own calling and on the spirituality that moves ordinary people to reject violence and seek reconciliation. Drawing on his twenty-five years of experience in the field he explores the evolution of his understanding of peacebuilding and points the way toward the future of the art." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004011794-d.html.
Download or read book The Return of the Real written by Hal Foster and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1996-09-25 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Return of the Real Hal Foster discusses the development of art and theory since 1960, and reorders the relation between prewar and postwar avant-gardes. Opposed to the assumption that contemporary art is somehow belated, he argues that the avant-garde returns to us from the future, repositioned by innovative practice in the present. And he poses this retroactive model of art and theory against the reactionary undoing of progressive culture that is pervasive today. After the models of art-as-text in the 1970s and art-as-simulacrum in the 1980s, Foster suggests that we are now witness to a return to the real—to art and theory grounded in the materiality of actual bodies and social sites. If The Return of the Real begins with a new narrative of the historical avant-gard, it concludes with an original reading of this contemporary situation—and what it portends for future practices of art and theory, culture and politics.

Download or read book Parables for the Virtual written by Brian Massumi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-09 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the body has been the focus of much contemporary cultural theory, the models that are typically applied neglect the most salient characteristics of embodied existence—movement, affect, and sensation—in favor of concepts derived from linguistic theory. In Parables for the Virtual Brian Massumi views the body and media such as television, film, and the Internet, as cultural formations that operate on multiple registers of sensation beyond the reach of the reading techniques founded on the standard rhetorical and semiotic models. Renewing and assessing William James's radical empiricism and Henri Bergson's philosophy of perception through the filter of the post-war French philosophy of Deleuze, Guattari, and Foucault, Massumi links a cultural logic of variation to questions of movement, affect, and sensation. If such concepts are as fundamental as signs and significations, he argues, then a new set of theoretical issues appear, and with them potential new paths for the wedding of scientific and cultural theory. Replacing the traditional opposition of literal and figural with new distinctions between stasis and motion and between actual and virtual, Parables for the Virtual tackles related theoretical issues by applying them to cultural mediums as diverse as architecture, body art, the digital art of Stelarc, and Ronald Reagan's acting career. The result is an intriguing combination of cultural theory, science, and philosophy that asserts itself in a crystalline and multi-faceted argument.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Constitution of Shelley's Poetry' is a close philosophical reading of 'Prometheus Unbound' and other Shelley works from the perspective of the argument or drama of language played out in its pages. The book urges and practises close reading, but in the thought of Stanley Cavell, it finds and develops philosophical grounds for this ostensibly old-fashioned approach, and it implicitly proposes an understanding of language very different from those currently assumed in literary studies.

Download or read book Linguistic Perspectives on Literature RLE Linguistics C Applied Linguistics written by Marvin K.L. Ching and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although linguistics is often a technical and increasingly abstruse discipline, many linguists retain a concern for the way in which linguistics can shed light on literature and literary problems. In their introductory chapter, the editors of this collection of essays, by linguists on either side of the Atlantic, enunciate a bold stance that defines the theoretical relationship between linguistics and literature, delimits what should be considered a linguistic analysis of literature, and explains how such an analysis is related to current theories of readership and literary criticism. The editors’ theory of the relationship between linguistic and literary studies stipulates an eclectic rather than a holistic approach, and the essays they have gathered together reflect this belief. The contributions include such varied approaches as transformational grammar, text grammar and speech act theory, and the topics analysed include many that are at the heart of literature, such as topicalization, imagery, figurative language, ambiguity, and the play on words through puns. The anthology as a whole illustrates how linguistic theory illuminates the very nature of literary language. It also gives evidence of the new insights into literature that have arisen from a close analysis of the language in which the literature is encoded.
Download or read book Desire for Love written by Marina Ragachewskaya and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desire for Love: The Secret Longings of the Human Heart in D. H. Lawrence’s Works is a collection of essays dedicated to several novels, novellas, short stories and non-fiction by D. H. Lawrence, one of the great 20th-century English writers. With the help of the psychoanalytic-textual approach, Marina Ragachewskaya analyses subtle expressions of the emotional sphere in Lawrence’s characters and their desire for love, which is realised linguistically, stylistically and symbolically. The discussion of the writer’s textual subtleties suggests emotional education and intellectual delight. The book offers an outline of Lawrence’s own psychoanalytic theory and how it is implemented in his fiction. Specific issues – such as love discourse, the unnamed eros, a Jungian quest in search of love, Doppelgängers, love of power and the power of love, sublimation and the language of dance, as well as love in the time of war – pertain to the discovery of unconscious desires and a “culture of feeling” in Lawrence. Comparisons with other authors are surprisingly rare in Lawrence studies. To fill this gap, the volume also contains an essay on Lawrence’s war stories analysed alongside Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway and Pat Barker’s Regeneration. This inquiry into genuine human feeling will be equally attractive to literature scholars, students and general readers.

This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively chronicle of the 1960s through the surprisingly close and incredibly contentious friendship of its two most colorful characters. Norman Mailer and William F. Buckley, Jr., were towering personalities who argued publicly and vociferously about every major issue of the 1960s: the counterculture, Vietnam, feminism, civil rights, the Cold War. Behind the scenes, the two were friends and trusted confidantes. In Buckley and Mailer, historian Kevin M. Schultz delivers a fresh and enlightening chronicle of that tumultuous decade through the rich story of what Mailer called their "difficult friendship." From their public debate before the Floyd Patterson–Sonny Liston heavyweight fight and their confrontation at Truman Capote’s Black-and-White Ball, to their involvement in cultural milestones like the antiwar rally in Berkeley and the March on the Pentagon, Buckley and Mailer explores these extraordinary figures’ contrasting visions of America.
