Book Creation and Evolution

Download or read book Creation and Evolution written by Friedrich S. Rothschild and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issues surrounding Darwin's theory of evolution as a function of the survival of the fittest have hardly abated since they were initially promulgated about 150 ago. The reason is clear: behind the theory of evolution is a doctrine of structure of organisms that can be explained only by fitting the adaptation to the external world. The older doctrines of creation have been at odds with evolutionism from the outset--sometimes utilizing straight theological arguments and at other times employing sophisticated scientific arguments. Into the breach steps Friedrich S. Rothschild, a trained neurologist, psychologist and physician. On the basis of his researches in comparative embryology, Rothschild argues that the central nervous system of animals as well as humans conveys meaning just like language, and not just a system aimed at adaptation to the external environment. His theory of biosemiotics introduces the concept of inner adaptation. This adaptation to the principal forces assign meaning to life. In monotheistic religions this force is called God. The issue of adaptation is therefore both external and internal, related to growth of the person no less than the environment. This book is intended for those who are interested in life and its varied meanings, to students of sociobiology and medicine as well as those concerned with humanities.

Book Transcultural Encounters between Germany and India

Download or read book Transcultural Encounters between Germany and India written by Joanne Miyang Cho and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a comprehensive survey of cutting edge scholarship in the field of German--Indian and South Asian Studies, the book looks at the history of German--Indian relations in the spheres of culture, politics, and intellectual life. Combining transnational, post-colonial, and comparative approaches, it includes the entire twentieth century, from the First World War and Weimar Republic to the Third Reich and Cold War era. The book first examines the ways in which nineteenth-century "Indomania" figured in the creation of both German national identity and modern German scholarship on the Orient, and it illustrates how German encounters with India in the Imperial era alternately destabilized and reinforced the orientalist, capitalist, and nationalist underpinnings of German modernity. Contributors discuss the full range of German responses to India, and South Asian perceptions of Germany against the backdrop of war and socio-political revolution, as well as the Third Reich's ambivalent perceptions of India in the context of racism, religion, and occultism. The book concludes by exploring German--Indian relations in the era of decolonization and the Cold War. Employing a diverse array of interdisciplinary approaches to understanding German--Indian encounters over the past two centuries, this book is of interest to students and scholars of Germany, India, Europe, and Asia, as well as history, political science, anthropology, philosophy, comparative literature, and religious studies.

Book Psychological Types

  • Author : Carl Jung
  • Publisher : Livraria Press

  • ISBN : 3689385008
  • Pages : 587 pages

Download or read book Psychological Types written by Carl Jung and published by Livraria Press. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Psychological Types (1921), Carl Jung presents a framework for understanding individual differences in personality by identifying two basic attitudes: extraversion and introversion. Extraverts are outward-focused, gaining energy from their interactions with the external world, while introverts are inward-focused, deriving energy from their inner thoughts and feelings. Jung emphasizes that while most people tend to favor one attitude, both exist in the psyche and can be accessed as needed. This dynamic shapes how individuals engage with the world and their surroundings. In addition to these attitudes, Jung introduces four psychological functions that define how individuals process information and make decisions. These functions are divided into two categories: rational and irrational. The rational functions include thinking, which is logical and objective, and feeling, which evaluates based on personal values and subjective experience. The irrational functions are sensation, which relies on perceiving concrete reality, and intuition, which involves perceiving possibilities and abstract connections. Each individual tends to favor one of these functions, further influencing their personality type. Jung’s typology leads to the creation of eight primary personality types based on combinations of attitudes (introversion/extraversion) and dominant functions (thinking, feeling, sensation, intuition). For example, an introverted thinking type primarily processes the world through internal logic, while an extraverted feeling type engages with the world based on emotional and social values. Here in his famous 1921 Psychological Types (Psychologische Typen) Jung elaborates on the differences in fundamental psychological orientations among individuals. According to Jung, these orientations define how individuals perceive the world and make decisions. The core of this theory revolves around two Kantian Antinomies: Attitude and Function types. One of Jung’s most important works, Psychological Types introduces the distinction between introversion and extroversion as fundamental orientations of human personality. Jung also elaborates on the four psychological functions—thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition—each of which can be dominant in an individual’s personality. This book was essential in the development of personality theory and has had a lasting influence on psychology, particularly through the development of personality tests like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Jung’s typology provides a framework for understanding the diversity of human behavior and cognition, emphasizing that psychological health comes from balancing and integrating these different functions and attitudes. This edition contains a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works.

G. Jung forms one of the basic texts of twentieth-century thought: at once foundational for depth psychology and pivotal for intellectual, cultural, and religious history. The writings presented here, spanning five decades, embody Jung’s attempt to establish an interdisciplinary science of analytical psychology, and apply its insights to the fields of psychiatry, criminology, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, personality psychology, anthropology, physics, biology, education, the arts and literature, the history of the mind and its symbols, comparative religion, alchemy, and contemporary culture and politics, among others: each in turn has been decisively marked by his thought. Of timely and ongoing relevance to the understanding of these fields, Jung’s writings are at the same time essential reading for any understanding of the making of the modern mind.

Book The Nay Science

    Book Details:
  • Author : Vishwa Adluri
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2014-06-03
  • ISBN : 0199931356
  • Pages : 513 pages

Download or read book The Nay Science written by Vishwa Adluri and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nay Science offers a new perspective on the problem of scientific method in the human sciences. Taking German Indological scholarship on the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita as their example, Adluri and Bagchee develop a critique of the modern valorization of method over truth in the humanities. The authors show how, from its origins in eighteenth-century Neo-Protestantism onwards, the critical method was used as a way of making theological claims against rival philosophical and/or religious traditions. Via discussions of German Romanticism, the pantheism controversy, scientific positivism, and empiricism, they show how theological concerns dominated German scholarship on the Indian texts. Indology functions as a test case for wider concerns: the rise of historicism, the displacement of philosophical concerns from thinking, and the belief in the ability of a technical method to produce truth. Based on the historical evidence of the first part of the book, Adluri and Bagchee make a case in the second part for going beyond both the critical pretensions of modern academic scholarship and the objections of its post-structuralist or post-Orientalist critics. By contrasting German Indology with Plato's concern for virtue and Gandhi's focus on praxis, the authors argue for a conception of the humanities as a dialogue between the ancients and moderns and between eastern and western cultures.
