Book Life Energies  Forces and the Shaping of Life  Vital  Existential

Download or read book Life Energies Forces and the Shaping of Life Vital Existential written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of life consists in a constructive becoming (see Analecta Husserliana vol. 70). Though caught up in its relatively stable, stationary intervals manifesting the steps of its accomplishments that our attention is fixed. In this selection of studies we proceed, in contrast, to envisage life in the Aristotelian perspective in which energia, forces, and dynamisms of life at work are at the fore. Startling questions emerge: `what distinction could be drawn between the prompting forces of life and its formation? Or, is this distinction a result of our transcendental faculties?' The answers to these questions reveal themselves, as Tymieniecka proposes, at the phenomenologically ontopoietic level of life's origination where transcendentality surges.

Download or read book The Art of Madi written by Hussein Madi and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of the painter, sculptor and printmaker Hussein Madi has been viewed by thousands of people around the world at such venues as the British Museum, the Venice Biennale and Tokyo's Ueno Museum. However, it has never before been made available as a published retrospective. This long-overdue book contains an invaluable overview of Madi's work of four decades, in which his intensely personal fusion of European and Islamic influences always presents itself with a force that is both arresting and subtle. Madi's joyful experiments in colour and form have resulted in a unique body of work that relates to modern artists like Matisse and Picasso as well as to the principles of divine harmony that inform the abstract designs of Islamic art. Whether in two or three dimensions, Madi's lines sing with a spontaneous freedom that belies the careful, even exacting, calculations that the artist invests in each work. This combination of meticulousness and sensuality is everywhere evident in Madi's work, inspired by his profound belief in "God's universal order, in which everything is different and yet composed of the same cosmic elements." A tireless and highly prolific artist, Madi has achieved a lifetime output of virtually countless works in a variety of media. This book--with over 500 colour plates--will serve as a touchstone for both long-time admirers and initiates to his oeuvre.

Book B  nar  s Au Cr  puscule Du Gange

Download or read book B nar s Au Cr puscule Du Gange written by Svetlana Radlovic Dinges and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-09-29 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Beaucoup d’ouvrage ont été écrit sur la ville la plus vieille au monde. Beaucoup trop peu-être, mais si je consens à écrire ce livre comme m’avait demandé tant de fois le grand homme qu’il fut Vîr Bhadra Mishra, d’une plume d’ « alien » et d’un regard d’« »outsider », c’est au prix de laisser s’échapper de moi cette lumière, qui accueille chacune de mes arrivées dans la ville sainte, à travers les mots dont on ne soupçonne jamais suffisamment le potentiel... » C’est ainsi que l’auteure - diplômée de l’EHESS (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales) de Paris (France), avec un « Advanced Hindi Diploma de la BHU (Banaras Hindu University) et le « Sanskrit Prâmana Patriya » de la SSU (Sampurnanand Sanskrit University) de Varanasi (Inde) et membre d’un cercle de Spécialistes en Ramayana (grande épopée et un des textes fondamentaux de la mythologie hindoue) - commence son ouvrage sur la « miniature indienne » blottie au pied du Gange où chaque jour des milliers de pèlerins et simples croyants viennent de partout pour se purifier dans les eaux sacrées d’un fleuve « immensément mais mal aimé ». Cet ouvrage, qui émane d’une longue expérience de l’auteure sur le sol indien, est composé de trois parties (plus des photos prises par l’auteure elle-même). La première partie donne quelques indications sur la ville sainte de Bénarès ; la seconde s’adresse au fleuve sacré, le Gange, et ses problématiques ; tandis que la troisième laisse libre cours aux ghats. La description des ghats tout en gardant une note plutôt intimiste dévoile le caractère de chaque ghat sur lequel elle s’arrête dans le but de souligner l’importance vitale du fleuve dans le quotidien des habitants de Bénarès. Il a l’ambition d’une « amoureuse » de la ville sainte et la vocation d’un plaidoyer pour le fleuve. --- ‘A lot of work has been written about the oldest city in the world, too much perhaps, but if I consent to write this book—as had asked me many times the great man Veer Bhadra Mishra, with an “alien” pen and a look of “outsider”—it is at the cost of letting it escape from me the light that welcomes each of my arrivals in the Holy City through words whose potential is never sufficiently suspected . . .’ This is how the author—who graduated from the EHESS (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales) in Paris, with an advanced diploma in Hindi from the BHU (Banaras Hindu University) and the ‘Sanskrit Prâmana Patriya’ from the SSU (Sampurnanand Sanskrit University) in Varanasi (India) and who is a member of a circle of specialists in Ramayana (great epic and one of the fundamental texts of Hindu mythology)—begins her work on the Indian miniature nestled at the foot of the Ganges where every day thousands of pilgrims and simple believers come from everywhere to purify themselves in the sacred waters of an immense but unloved river. This book, which emanates from the author’s long experience on Indian soil, is composed of three parts (plus the photographs taken by the author herself). The first part gives some indications on the Holy City of Banaras. The second addresses the sacred river, the Ganges, and its problem, while the third gives free rein to the ghats. The description of the ghats, while keeping a rather intimate note, reveals the character of each ghat on which it stops with the intention to emphasize the vital importance of the river in the daily life of the inhabitants of Banaras. It has the ambition of a ‘lover’ of the sacred city and the vocation of a plea for the river.

Book On the Normal and the Pathological

Download or read book On the Normal and the Pathological written by Georges Canguilhem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by MICHEL FOUCAULT Everyone knows that in France there are few logicians but many historians of science; and that in the 'philosophical establishment' - whether teaching or research oriented - they have occupied a considerable position. But do we know precisely the importance that, in the course of these past fifteen or twenty years, up to the very frontiers of the establishment, a 'work' like that of Georges Canguilhem can have had for those very people who were separ ated from, or challenged, the establishment? Yes, I know, there have been noisier theatres: psychoanalysis, Marxism, linguistics, ethnology. But let us not forget this fact which depends, as you will, on the sociology of French intellectual environments, the functioning of our university institutions or our system of cultural values: in all the political or scientific discussions of these strange sixty years past, the role of the 'philosophers' - I simply mean those who had received their university training in philosophy department- has been important: perhaps too important for the liking of certain people. And, directly or indirectly, all or almost all these philosophers have had to 'come to terms with' the teaching and books of Georges Canguilhem. From this, a paradox: this man, whose work is austere, intentionally and carefully limited to a particular domain in the history of science, which in any case does not pass for a spectacular discipline, has somehow found him self present in discussions where he himself took care never to figure.

Book The Best of All Possible Worlds

Download or read book The Best of All Possible Worlds written by Karen Lord and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED • A stunning epic that is at once a new vision of science fiction and a deeply moving love story, from the award-winning author of Redemption in Indigo “An engrossing picaresque quest, a love story, and a moving character study . . . [Karen] Lord is on a par with Ursula K. Le Guin.”—The Guardian A proud and reserved alien society finds its homeland destroyed in an unprovoked act of aggression, leaving the survivors no choice but to reach out to the indigenous humanoids of their adopted world, to whom they are distantly related. They wish to preserve their cherished way of life but discover that to protect their culture, they may have to change it forever. Now a man and a woman from opposite sides of these clashing societies must work together to save this vanishing race—and end up uncovering ancient mysteries with far-reaching ramifications. As their mission hangs in the balance, these unlikely partners—one cool and cerebral, the other fiery and impulsive—may find in each other their own destinies . . . and a force that transcends all. Includes two bonus short stories “[A] fascinating and thoughtful science fiction novel that examines] adaptation, social change, and human relationships. I’ve not read anything quite like it, which makes it that rare beast: a true original.”—Kate Elliott, author of the Crown of Stars series and The Spiritwalker Trilogy “Reads like smooth jazz comfort food, deceptively familiar and easy going down, but subtly subversive.”—Nalo Hopkinson, Los Angeles Review of Books “If you want to see science fiction doing something new and fascinating . . . then you shouldn’t sleep on The Best of All Possible Worlds.”—io9 “Rewarding science fiction for emotional grown-ups.”—Mysterious Galaxy “[A] marvelously formed universe.”—The A.V. Club “A rewarding, touching and often funny exploration of the forms and functions of human culture.”—SFX “The Best of All Possible Worlds . . . poses an interesting question: What parts of you do you fight to preserve when everything you know suddenly changes?”—Associated Press
