Download or read book Expression and Truth written by Lawrence Kramer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-09-23 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Vintage Kramer: Musicology at its best and most responsible. Expression and Truth is a tour de force that continues the author’s longstanding commitment to understand music as a form of knowledge, a critical but often marginalized element of the ‘fundamental grammar of culture.’ This singularly original extended essay shows why and how music—expression in its most concentrated form—is the key to deciphering that grammar. Above all, as Kramer’s new book puts it, ‘we need not only to think about expression but also to think with it.’ Amen, and bravo.”—Richard Leppert, Regents Professor, University of Minnesota
Download or read book Teaching the World to Shell Peas written by Rev. R. L. Phillips and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surely, God did not allow African Americans to experience oppression for over four hundred years just for us to dwell in an exclusive neighborhood, acquire material possessions, attain middle class status, or be a famous black first. African Americans are not in America to imitate our white brothers and sisters. Our situation is unique. We are insiders and outsiders, Americans and of African descent, free and unfree. We are a split people seeking wholeness. By bringing new insights into the life of African Americans, Rev. Phillips uses a number of case studies of his former high school students to reveal the severity of the split in the life of the students and their community at large. He contends that if we do not attain true wholeness, our unresolved conflicts would harm us psychologically and spiritually, which in turn could detrimentally affect us socially, politically and economically. Many have already become hopeless and mentally challenged. Our educational and social problems are troublesome. Despite our progress in America, many are still experiencing a meaningless life and are seeking answers. How can one attain wholeness in a materialistic and black phobic world? Rev. Phillips takes us on an engaging journey to discover the answer.

Download or read book Wittgenstein and Value written by Eric B. Litwack and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was one of the most important and influential thinkers of the 20th century. In Wittgenstein and Value, Eric B. Litwack attempts to clarify his many challenging ideas and arguments related to the notion of value and the implications of his work for debates in contemporary ethics, aesthetics and religious studies. Litwack shows that Wittgenstein was engaged in a project of philosophical anthropology, which set him against some of the main currents of 20th century intellectual life. The book explores the key notions in Wittgenstein's philosophy of mind and language and reveals how he developed a consistently expressionistic conception of value, in its many manifestations. Litwack also examines some of the key arguments of post-Wittgensteinian philosophers in the analytic Anglo-American tradition and explores the ways in which they have used Wittgenstein's arguments in addressing contemporary philosophical problems.

Download or read book The Meaning of Soul written by Emily J. Lordi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Meaning of Soul, Emily J. Lordi proposes a new understanding of this famously elusive concept. In the 1960s, Lordi argues, soul came to signify a cultural belief in black resilience, which was enacted through musical practices—inventive cover versions, falsetto vocals, ad-libs, and false endings. Through these soul techniques, artists such as Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, and Minnie Riperton performed virtuosic survivorship and thus helped to galvanize black communities in an era of peril and promise. Their soul legacies were later reanimated by such stars as Prince, Solange Knowles, and Flying Lotus. Breaking with prior understandings of soul as a vague masculinist political formation tethered to the Black Power movement, Lordi offers a vision of soul that foregrounds the intricacies of musical craft, the complex personal and social meanings of the music, the dynamic movement of soul across time, and the leading role played by black women in this musical-intellectual tradition.
Download or read book Lectures on Aesthetics written by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 Translation with Afterword of Hegel's Monumental work Lectures on Aesthetics/ Vorlesungen über die Ästhetik (1818 -1829) Over a decade, G.W.F. Hegel delivered a series of "Lectures on Aesthetics," which delved deep into the nature and significance of art in human experience. Hegel contends that art, like religion and philosophy, is a means through which the human spirit expresses its understanding of itself and its place in the world. Analyzing various art forms – from architecture and sculpture to painting and music – Hegel traces the historical evolution of artistic expression, culminating in the idea that in modern times, art, while still valuable, has been superseded by philosophy as the highest form of spiritual expression.

Download or read book The Aesthetic Commonplace written by Nancy Yousef and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aesthetic Commonplace is a study of the everyday as a region of overlooked value in the work of William Wordsworth, George Eliot, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. The Romantic poet, the realist novelist, and the modern philosopher are each separately associated with a commitment to the common, the ordinary, and the everyday as a vital resource for reflection on language, on feeling, on ethical insight, and social attunement. The Aesthetic Commonplace is the first study to draw substantive lines of connection between Wittgenstein and the cultural and literary history of nineteenth century England. Tracing conceptual and formal affinities between the poet, the novelist, and the philosopher, the book brings to light significant links between the intellectual history of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth, making the case for a continuous cultural commitment to the aesthetic as a distinctive mode of investigating thought, feeling, and the everyday language upon which we depend for their articulation. Addressed to both literary studies and to philosophy, The Aesthetic Commonplace makes a compelling case for the interdependence of form, concept, and emotion in the history and interpretive practices of both disciplines.

Download or read book Beyond the Inner and the Outer written by M. ter Hark and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wittgenstein's aphoristic style holds great charm, but also a great danger: the reader is apt to glean too much from a single fragment and too little from the fragments as a whole. In my first confron tations with the Philosophical Investigations I was such a reader, and so, it turned out, were most of the writers on Wittgenstein's later philosophy. Wittgenstein's remarkable ability to bring together many facets of his thought in one fragment is fully exploited in the critical literature; but hardly any attention is paid to the connection with other fragments, let alone to the many hitherto unpublished manuscripts of which the Philosophical Investigations is the final product. The result of this fragmentary and ahistorical approach to Wittgenstein's later work is a host of contradictory interpretations. What Wittgenstein really wanted to say remains insufficiently clear. Opinions are also strongly divided about the value of his work. Some authors have been encouraged by his aphorisms and rhetorical questions to dismiss the whole Cartesian tradition or to halt new movements in linguistics or psychology; others, exasperated, reject his philo sophy as anti-scientific conceptual conservatism. After consulting unpublished notebooks and manuscripts which Wittgenstein wrote between 1929 and 1951, I became a very different reader. Wittgenstein turned out to be a kind of Leonardo da Vinci, who pursued a form from which every sign of chisel ling, every attempt at improvement, had been effaced.
Download or read book Voice of My Soul written by Marsha Eger and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quest to understand our true nature is as ancient as human existence. It has been answered in some form by all the major religions and debated by the world's great philosophers. But as author Marsha Eger notes, the information provided by texts, teachers, and clergy is only part of the equation. The journey to discover one's self and universal truth is ultimately a very personal one. In Voice of My Soul: Wisdom from the Stillness, Eger relates her experience in clear, accessible poetry and prose that are the outgrowth of her spiritual practice. Each page gives the reader an opportunity to create a deeper awareness of self and the Universe. "This is not a journey of distance. You need travel no farther than where you always are--the answers are within."

Download or read book Art as Medicine written by Shaun McNiff and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 1992-10-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whenever illness is associated with loss of soul," writes Shaun McNiff, "the arts emerge spontaneously as remedies, soul medicine." The medicine of the artist, like that of the shaman, arises from his or her relationship to "familiars"—the themes, methods, and materials that interact with the artist through the creative process. Art as Medicine demonstrates how the imagination heals and renews itself through this natural process. The author describes his pioneering methods of art therapy—including interpretation through performance and storytelling, creative collaboration, and dialoguing with images—and the ways in which they can revitalize both psychotherapy and art itself.
