Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A watershed event in the field of sociology, this text introduced “a major breakthrough in the sociology of knowledge and sociological theory generally” (George Simpson, American Sociological Review). In this seminal book, Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann examine how knowledge forms and how it is preserved and altered within a society. Unlike earlier theorists and philosophers, Berger and Luckmann go beyond intellectual history and focus on commonsense, everyday knowledge—the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people. When first published in 1966, this systematic, theoretical treatise introduced the term social construction,effectively creating a new thought and transforming Western philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does science work? Does it tell us what the world is “really” like? What makes it different from other ways of understanding the universe? In Theory and Reality, Peter Godfrey-Smith addresses these questions by taking the reader on a grand tour of more than a hundred years of debate about science. The result is a completely accessible introduction to the main themes of the philosophy of science. Examples and asides engage the beginning student, a glossary of terms explains key concepts, and suggestions for further reading are included at the end of each chapter. Like no other text in this field, Theory and Reality combines a survey of recent history of the philosophy of science with current key debates that any beginning scholar or critical reader can follow. The second edition is thoroughly updated and expanded by the author with a new chapter on truth, simplicity, and models in science.

Download or read book Concepts and Reality in the History of Philosophy written by Fiona Ellis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-01-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces a deep misunderstanding about the relation of concepts and reality in the history of philosophy. It exposes the influence of the mistake in the thought of Locke, Berkeley, Kant, Nietzche and Bradley, and suggests that the solution can be found in Hegelian thought. Ellis argues that the treatment proposed exemplifies Hegel's dialectical method. This is an important contribution to this area of philosophy.
Download or read book The Process of Taking Ideas Into Reality an Ex Post Facto Framework written by Kevin Ashok Rustagi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of taking an idea into reality has long fascinated me. Throughout the course of college, I have had the privilege of helping to create three varying projects: a workshop designing custom-machined clock faces, a business card startup project, and MIT's first fully unified live music student organization. With this diverse set of projects and parameters, I came to question if they held a common process. Though the topic of idea development deserves greater investigation and empirical study, I offer here a set of personal case studies. I do this with the full knowledge that the world offers an enormous amount of variability, where factors and changes beyond my control are unceasingly at play. I, too, changed much throughout these projects, and therefore, I, as an author, am also subject to a certain amount of variability and change over time. All those notions given, I do believe that there exist shared traits in the ways that I was able to help grow and nourish the ideas into real projects. My main finding is an ex post facto framework that each of the projects fits within. To elucidate how this framework applies and provide substantial background to justify each step, I have derived a thorough explanation of how each project used each piece of the framework. Curious if this framework held validity given real-world constraints, I interviewed four industry professionals to understand their views and project experiences. I have included their paraphrased thoughts and experience interspersed throughout the framework in order to provide my framework with greater support and empirical validity. Once again, this is a personal case study that is open for interpretation. It is, in many ways, the application of the design process to highly variable real-world projects executed in the context of a college experience.

Download or read book Wisdom of the Eternal Self written by Sayyed Aamir Raza and published by Wasila Society. This book was released on 2020-10-10 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the reality of human being by pointing out some of the very fundamental issues that remain hidden from the eyes of the modern and post-modern western thought. By elaborating Mulla Sadra’s concept of Soul’s origination from the body and its survival through the Spirit, this book explains how the human soul develops stage by stage in a gradual manner from a vegetative body in the womb. By using Mulla Sadra’s principles of causality, this book shows how God and his Angels create man and other species on the Earth without denying Darwin’s evolutionary theory. In this reference, the role of metaphysical worlds in actualizing human knowledge is also discussed. This book also shows how the human life is a journey back towards its origin i.e. towards God and how this journey would continue even after death. In this reference, this book also explains the principles on the basis of which human soul would continue its life in the post-humus world. This book also clarifies the benefits of focusing onto the self and how this focus may lead to the realization of the Eternal Self of God. In this way, it shows how it is not impossible to experience the post-humus conditions even before death. It also specifies what kind of lifestyle may possibly ensure the occurrence of such mystic experiences.
