Download or read book Man and His World Terres des hommes written by The Noranda Lectures/ Expo 67 and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1968-12-15 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruits of a unique cultural exchange are brought together in this unusual book. Twenty-eight of the most eminent men and women of our generation – philosophers, historians, and scientists from nineteen countries – here discuss what they consider the most vital issues of our day. Paul-Henri Spaak, Barbara Ward, Gunnar Mydral, Linus Pauling, and many others participated in the Noranda lecture series at Expo 67 in Montreal, and each is concerned here with a special aspect of Expo's theme: Man and His World. The approaches to the theme are as varied as the backgrounds of the speakers. Some of the essays give a revealing and optimistic description of the national and international efforts to ensure a future for mankind; others, less optimistic, stress the increasing insanity of the world and draw attention to the poverty, starvation, hatred, waste, and war which destroy what creative men have built. One group of papers deals with the idea of progress. André Leroi Gourhan offers a panoramic description of man's cultural evolution and sketches the vast possibilities of future development; Karl Löwith questions the very notion of progress and observes that much "progressive" development has resulted in nothing but destruction; Félix Houphouët-Boigny, president of the Ivory Coast Republic, describes progress in one section of the world – Africa, and the Ivory Coast in particular. Other lectures deal with such diverse topics as the proper role of government, the modern scientist, formal and informal aspects of education, the history of architecture, recent biological contributions of chemistry, the population explosion, new advances in physics, and the world as a separate entity from man. "The world as universe is not made by man," Professor Löwith reminds us. "It is there, even without us, existing for and by itself." Originally sponsored by Noranda Mines Ltd., the lectures attracted wide attention at the time of their delivery and again later when some of them were broadcast on radio and television. Collected in this book, they offer a distillation of some of the most significant thinking of today – clear and cogent presentations of ideas that have won Nobel prizes for some of their creators and international recognition for all. In her Introduction, Helen Hogg writes, "It is a book to be sipped and savoured, to be dipped into again and again. Such an approach will enable the reader best to appreciate the penetrating commentaries of some of the world's greatest figures."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some account of Saint Martin (Le Philosophe inconnu) and his writings has been given in the preface to his 'Correspondence with Baron Liebestorf', recently published; and it is necessary hero only to say that the book of which a translation is now presented to the reader, 'Le Ministere de l'Homme Esprit', was probably the last, as it certainly was the most important, of his works. It was published in Paris, in 1802: he died the following year."

Book excerpt: Embark on a thought-provoking journey through the cosmos with Alfred Russel Wallace's groundbreaking work, "Man's Place in the Universe." In this visionary exploration, Wallace invites readers to contemplate humanity's role in the vast expanse of space and time, offering profound insights into the interconnectedness of life, evolution, and the universe itself. Drawing on his pioneering research in natural history and anthropology, Wallace challenges conventional notions of human exceptionalism, arguing that mankind is but one thread in the intricate tapestry of life that spans the cosmos. With meticulous detail and compelling argumentation, he traces the evolutionary history of humanity and its place within the broader context of cosmic evolution, illuminating the profound connections that bind us to the stars. Through his exploration of topics ranging from the origins of life to the mysteries of consciousness, Wallace invites readers to ponder the deepest questions of existence and the ultimate meaning of human existence in the grand scheme of the universe. With clarity and eloquence, he presents a compelling vision of humanity's place in the cosmos-one that celebrates the wonders of scientific inquiry while also acknowledging the awe-inspiring mysteries that lie beyond our current understanding. More than a scientific treatise, "Man's Place in the Universe" is a testament to the enduring curiosity and boundless spirit of exploration that defines the human experience. Whether you're a scholar, a philosopher, or simply a curious seeker of knowledge, Wallace's timeless work will inspire you to contemplate the mysteries of the cosmos and your own place within it. Join Wallace on a journey of discovery as he unveils the cosmic drama of "Man's Place in the Universe" and invites readers to explore the frontiers of human knowledge and understanding.

Book excerpt: Conquering Life's Extremities is an adventure in reading. It is a comprehensive study of man, his place in the universe and his quest for happiness. Conquering Life's Extremities provides an answer to the eternal question: How can we find happiness in an inherently chaotic world?This book evades no controversy. It may not always be "politically correct". It challenges and contradicts beliefs we may have lived by for years; opening new perspectives to anyone who is both willing to discard obsolete ideas and explore how life and the universe works to obtain mankind's greatest goal: Happiness. This book is encyclopedic, written in a scholarly nature. The concepts expounded in this book are a reflection of the knowledge I absorbed throughout a significant portion of my life. My favorites range from Cicero's discourses on Epicurus to treatises on Quantum Mechanics. I've decided to document methodical approaches and discoveries used to capture this elusive anomaly, called "happiness".I embarked on a wondrous odyssey of the mind: From Greece to India, from Buddha to Socrates, from mythology to science. I explored the spirit of the masses of people with Eastern worldviews. I found they were just as desperate for happiness as their Western brothers. Man's life is a perpetual quest for happiness, and yet, as Henry Thoreau astutely observed: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." What went wrong? Have we lost our alignment with reality? Have we allowed too many erroneous concepts to usurp our perception of reality? Shall we aspire to become what the Greeks called "Iconoclasts"?Eventually, I came to the realization that a rational worldview, based on a profound understanding of Objective Reality, is the only sound foundation for lasting happiness. We need not be intellectual giants to grasp the concepts explained in this approach. Anyone with the equivalent of a high school education can master these issues. Our explorations will be an enjoyable and enlightening experience.I will try to be as plain as possible, without compromising the essence of my world view. I am a devoted advocate of common sense, rationality and logic. I have always been skeptical of philosophers who hold forth from ivory towers but who have lost touch with the reality of the world. Here are some of the major insights I have gained: Life is not intrinsically good, bad, evil, beautiful or ugly. Every moment of our life is as beautiful or as ugly as I choose to perceive it.I can choose to be happy. I do not surrender to any other person, or to any external circumstances, my power to be happy or unhappy. I take full responsibility for my emotional response to everything that happens in my life
