Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civilization has many faces. One of its looks is the presence of Sophia in our midst. It is a smart robot armed with artificial intelligence. Its job is to help humans with the technological sophistication they have. Furthermore, civilization does not only present Sophia. There is another thing that civilization shows: Syria. In Syria, there is an endless civil war that has cost thousands of lives. Of course, there-is a lot more to civilization. During the last 17 Years (2002-2019), I've crossed five continents from Australia to North Korea, from Beijing to Prague, then from Russia to Denmark. I witnessed various civilizations ranging from the most ancient civilizations in Egypt to the most advanced civilizations in the United States, France, Norway, and Great Britain, starting from Mecca to Venice. So many things that I saw. So many encounters I had with the geniuses and the dead giants. So deep and high are the achievements of art, economics, science, and human's spirituality that I have observed. There is also a great example the warriors advised me through their sacrifices. Now, I have put those entire encounters in this little book. Civilizations are indeed very varied. There's Sophia on the left, and, there's Syria On the right. Hopefully, Indonesia will not choose the wrong choice.

Download or read book Reflections on the Global Civilization written by Majid Tehranian and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization has brought different civilizations and peoples into new and closer contact. But this novel intimacy has not always led to greater understanding. There is an urgent need to work towards a global civilization based on principles of peace, mutual respect and tolerance. It is precisely that goal which the participants attempt in this classic dialogue. Inspired by the encounters between Buddhism and Islam as they exchanged ideas and goods along the Silk Road, it brings together a Sufi Muslim from Iran and one of the world's most influential lay Buddhist leaders to explore the vibrant areas of common ground between the Islamic and Buddhist traditions. Coloured by Sufi philosophy and by Buddhist thought and practice, and drawing on a diverse selection of thinkers - including Rumi and Hafez, Rabindranath Tagore, Jurgen Habermas and Antonio Gramsci - Reflections on the Global Civilization offers a profound meditation on conflict, loss and injustice, as well as the vitality of interfaith discussion. It shows that Islam and Buddhism have much to offer, not only to each other, but also to the world as a whole.

Download or read book History of Philosophy and the Reflective Society written by Riccardo Pozzo and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about innovation, reflection and inclusion. Cultural innovation is something real that tops up social and technological innovation by providing the reflective society with spaces of exchange in which citizens engage in the process of sharing their experiences while appropriating common goods content. We are talking of public spaces such as universities, academies, libraries, museums, science-centres, but also of any place in which co-creation activities may occur. The argument starts with the need for new narratives in the history of philosophy, which can be established through co-creation, the motor of cultural innovation. The result is redefining the history of philosophy in terms of a dialogical civilization by ensuring continuous translations, individual processes of reflection and collective processes of inclusion. Readers will grasp the effectiveness of the history of philosophy in societies that are inclusive, innovative and reflective.
Download or read book Cities in Civilization written by Peter Hall and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 1998 with total page 1236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ranging over 2,500 years,Cities in Civilizationis a tribute to the city as the birthplace of Western civilization. Drawing on the contributions of economists and geographers, of cultural, technological, and social historians, Sir Peter Hall examines twenty-one cities at their greatest moments. Hall describes the achievements of these golden ages and outlines the precise combinations of forces -- both universal and local -- that led to each city's belle epoque. Hall identifies four distinct expressions of civic innovation: artistic growth, technological progress, the marriage of culture and technology, and solutions to evolving problems. Descriptions of Periclean Athens, Renaissance Florence, Elizabethan London, and nineteenth-century Vienna bring to life those seedbeds of artistic and intellectual creativity. Explorations of Manchester during the Industrial Revolution, of Henry Ford's Detroit, and of Palo Alto at the dawn of the computer age highlight centers of technological advances. Tales of the creation of Los Angeles' movie industry and the birth of the blues and rock 'n' roll in Memphis depict the marriage of culture and technology. Finally, Hall celebrates cities that have been forced to solve problems created by their very size. With Imperial Rome came the apartment block and aqueduct; nineteenth-century London introduced policing, prisons, and sewers; twentieth-century New York developed the skyscraper; and Los Angeles became the first city without a center, a city ruled instead by the car. And in a fascinating conclusion, Hall speculates on urban creativity in the twenty-first century. This penetrating study reveals not only the lives of cities but also the lives of the people who built them and created the civilizations within them. A decade in the making,Cities in Civilizationis the definitive account of the culture of cities.

Download or read book Islamic Culture in Crisis written by Hichem Djait and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic Culture in Crisis examines efforts by intellectuals and leaders in the Islamic world to adapt to what Hichem Djait calls the "incredible novelty of modernity" that has come to Europe during the past 150 years. The chapters in the work are grouped into three sections, and were written by the author over a twenty-year period. Djait describes the different meanings of modernity, the crisis of Islamic culture in its encounter with modernity, similarities and differences between Arabs and Muslims and other cultures, the politics of the Arabs, and the force of democracy in the Islamic world. In the sphere of politics, the Arabs have been excluded from history for a very long time. Instead, Turks, Mongols, Berbers, Persians, and Caucasians have led the destinies of the Islamic world, a domain that had become politically fragmented. But history has overlooked the concrete developments of that time, although they were full of consequences for the lives of the people. Paradoxically, what remains are the spiritual, trans-historic elements: religion, culture, and science. Contrasting the achievements of other civilizations, both past and present, Djait demonstrates eloquently that Arabs and Muslims will not be able to connect with the modern world unless they are able to be inspired by a supreme ambition to further the causes of high culture-in knowledge, science, art, literature, and other spheres.

Download or read book Civilization written by Regis Debray and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American civilization’s dominance over Europe—and what to do about it In 1900, an American of taste was a European in exile; in 2000, a trendy European is a frustrated American—or one waiting for a visa. Régis Debray explores America’s global cultural ascendancy in this provocative and witty analysis of our contemporary condition. Whereas Europe once foregrounded the importance of time and writing, America is a civilization of spectacle and kinetics, blind to the tragic complexities of human life. A measure of America’s success is how its jargon has been adopted by European languages, but there is much more than that to the States’ infiltration into all aspects of modern life. For Debray, the dominance of American civilization is a historical fait accompli. Yet he envisions a sanctuary for the best of Europe modelled on Vienna at the cusp of the twentieth century, where art and literature flowered in the rich soil of a decaying empire. For decades to come, Europe can still offer a rich cultural seedbed. “Some will call it decadence,” writes Debray, “others liberation. Why not both?”

This book was released on 2019-02-24 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rediscovering the Pearl of Ancient Wisdom, Part 2 of A Master's Reflection on the History of Humanity, continues the story of the human saga starting with the fall of Atlantis, Ramtha's war and destruction of the old kingdoms, the enslavement of women, and the emergence of religious superstition. He describes a hidden civilization within the Earth's core and explains the sacred symbolism of the pyramids of Egypt, monuments built with the help of alien technology and alien races who love humanity as reminders of our forgotten divinity.A pivotal point in human history was the advent of Jehovah in the Middle East. Much of the corruption and editing of the ancient wisdom happened during this period, followed by Christianity's interpretation of the teachings of Yeshua ben Joseph, and other religions where the link to each individual's inner sanctum and divine nature was forgotten and lost.Ramtha describes the emergence of Christ consciousness in each person as enlightenment in modern times. The conclusion of this work, in two parts, is an inspiring vision of the next stage awaiting the evolution of humanity and the dawn of a new enlightenment."When we live from that which is termed the Observer's point of view, then we, according to the law of physics, choose to live from a higher echelon of thought. Then that thought becomes the law of our life and not our emotions."- RamthaJZK Publishing, A Division of JZK, Inc.Ramtha.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grand sweep of the relationship between civilization, culture and race. Using historical examples, the author shows that different races create different civilizations, each a reflection of their own inner values. These civilizations and cultures are only destroy when the originating races are destroyed-through physical integration and racial miscegenation. "Culture is primarily artistic, that is born from the soul of a people, who may utilize many tools in the pursuit of their achievements. Needless to say, the better the tools the higher the Culture, but in all cases of Western history the discoveries of ancient or contemporary peoples that aided Western Civilization were attained by Europeans themselves, never were they the result of culture mixing."

This first book is a compilation of those stories. Some are humorous, some touching, but all are true. It is an easy to read book for anyone who loves the outdoors, hunting or dogs. It is about people and his home state, South Dakota. Doug describes himself as a blue jeans and flannel shirt kind of guy and his book is a reflection of that attitude.

Nothing fancy can be found in the pages, but life isn't fancy, it just is; and sometimes we need to be reminded of that. This book is such a reminder.
