Download or read book A Sheep s Song written by Shûichi Katô and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1999-05-03 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critically acclaimed autobiography was an instant bestseller in Japan, where it has gone through more than forty printings since its first publication. Cultural critic, literary historian, novelist, poet, and physician, Kato Shuichi reconstructs his dramatic spiritual and intellectual journey from the militarist era of prewar Japan to the dynamic postwar landscapes of Japan and Europe. This fluid translation of A Sheep's Song captures Kato's unique voice and brings his insightful interpretation of modern Japan and its tumultuous relations with the outside world to English-speaking readers for the first time. Kato describes his youthful interest in the natural sciences as well as in Japanese and Western literatures—from the Man'yoshu to Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Baudelaire, Valéry, and Proust. Turning to the rise of Japanese fascism in the late 1930s, he recalls his rebellion against the jingoistic political atmosphere of the time. The chapters on the war and its aftermath include experiences of Hiroshima shortly after the bombing and the often tragicomic encounters between the defeated Japanese nation and the American Occupation forces. Throughout, memories of his wide-ranging literary career and broad experiences in Europe as a student, traveler, and cultural observer are punctuated by his unique perspectives on the relation between imagination, art, and politics. A postscript written especially for the English-language edition discusses the Vietnam War, the subsequent transformation of Japan, the cultures and societies of Europe, the United States, and China, and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Book Nelson Goodman s Theory of Symbols and Its Applications

Download or read book Nelson Goodman s Theory of Symbols and Its Applications written by Catherine Z. Elgin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1997 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A challenger of traditions and boundaries A pivotal figure in 20th-century philosophy, Nelson Goodman has made seminal contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, and the philosophy of language, with surprising connections that cut across traditional boundaries. In the early 1950s, Goodman, Quine, and White published a series of papers that threatened to torpedo fundamental assumptions of traditional philosophy. They advocated repudiating analyticity, necessity, and prior assumptions. Some philosophers, realizing the seismic effects repudiation would cause, argued that philosophy should retain the familiar framework. Others considered the arguments compelling, but despaired of doing philosophy without the framework. Goodman disagreed with both factions. Rather than regretting the loss of structure, he capitalized on the opportunities that arise when the strictures of tradition are loosened.

Book La R  v  lation de Christ  Afin Que Je Le Connaisse Davantage

Download or read book La R v lation de Christ Afin Que Je Le Connaisse Davantage written by Alfred Prempeh-Dapaah and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La révélation de Christ révèle et disserte au sujet de Christ et de sa nature personnelle. Il s'agit de préexistence de Christ, même avant la fondation du monde, étant le Fils du Dieu vivant. Son incarnation en la personne de Jésus-Christ dans l'objectif de révéler le Père au monde entier. Ce récit répand la lumière au sujet des intentions pour lesquelles Christ fût envoyé par le Père; étant principalement, de détruire les uvres du Malin et de réconcilier l'humanité au Père par la vertu de la puissance du Saint-Esprit, l'autorité dont il a doté le Corps du Christ, l'Eglise. L'Eglise de Jésus-Christ doit s'émanciper à manifester, démontrer et refléter la nature divine de Christ pour ainsi servir de témoignages vivants à la gloire de la puissance qui leur a été dispensé, c'est-à-dire le Saint-Esprit. La révélation de Christ définit d'une façon sans précédante le Christ et aspire à l'édification et affermissement de la foi ainsi qu'à la consolidation de l'intimité du croyant avec le Père. La rédaction de ce livre est intégralement inspirée par le Saint-Esprit et par la Parole Vivante de Dieu. Toute la gloire au Père Céleste.

Book The New Theory of Reference

Download or read book The New Theory of Reference written by P. Humphreys and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 20th, 22nd, and 29th, 1970 Saul Kripke delivered three lectures at Princeton University. They produced something of a sensation. In the lectures he argued, amongst other things, that many names in ordinary language referred to objects directly rather than by means of associated descriptions; that causal chains from language user to language user were an important mechanism for preserving reference; that there were necessary a posteriori and contingent a priori truths; that identity relations between rigid designators were necessary; and argued, more tentatively, that materialist identity theories in the philosophy of mind were suspect. Interspersed with this was a consider able amount of material on natural kind terms and essentialism. As a result of these lectures and a related 1971 paper, 'Identity and Necessity' (Kripke [1971]), talk of rigid designators, Hesperus and Phosphorus, meter bars, gold and H 0, and suchlike quickly became commonplace in philosophical circles 2 and when the lectures were published under the title Naming and Necessity in the collection The Semantics of Natural Language (Davidson and Harman l [1972]), that volume became the biggest seller in the Reidel (later Kluwer) list. The cluster of theses surrounding the idea that a relation of direct reference 2 exists between names and their referents is now frequently referred to as 'The 3 New Theory of Reference'.

Book Understanding  I

  • Author : José Luis Bermúdez
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2017-02-23
  • ISBN : 0192516019
  • Pages : 165 pages

Download or read book Understanding I written by José Luis Bermúdez and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No words in English are shorter than "I" and few, if any, play a more fundamental role in language and thought. In Understanding "I": Thought and Language José Luis Bermúdez continues his longstanding work on the self and self-consciousness. Bermúdez develops a model of how language-users understand sentences involving the first person pronoun "I". This model illuminates the unique psychological role that self-conscious thoughts (typically expressed using "I") play in action and thought - a unique role often summarized by describing "I" as an essential indexical. The book opens with an argument directly supporting the indispensability of "I"-thoughts in explaining action. After motivating a broadly Fregean approach linguistic understanding it critically examines Frege's own remarks on "I" as well as the Fregean account offered by Gareth Evans. The main part of the book develops an account of the sense of "I" that explains a cluster of related phenomena, including essential indexicality, immunity to error through misidentification, the shareability of "I"-thoughts, the relation between "I" and "you", and the role of autobiographical memory in self-consciousness.
