Book excerpt: An argument against the role of visual imagination in reasoning that proposes a spatial theory of human thought, supported by empirical and computational evidence. Many scholars believe that visual mental imagery plays a key role in reasoning. In Space to Reason, Markus Knauff argues against this view, proposing that visual images are not relevant for reasoning and can even impede the process. He also argues against the claim that human thinking is solely based on abstract symbols and is completely embedded in language. Knauff proposes a third way to think about human reasoning that relies on supramodal spatial layout models, which are more abstract than pictorial images and more concrete than linguistic representations. He argues that these spatial layout models are at the heart of human thought, even thought about nonspatial relations in the world. For Knauff the visual images that we so often associate with reasoning are only in the foreground of conscious experience. Behind the images, the actual logical work is carried out by reasoning-specific operations on these spatial layout models. Knauff also offers a solution to the problem of indeterminacy in human reasoning, introducing the notion of a preferred layout model, which is one layout model among others that has the best chance of being mentally constructed and thus guides the further process of thought. Knauff's "space to reason" theory covers the functional, the algorithmic, and the implementational level of analysis and is corroborated by psychological experiments, functional brain imaging, and computational modeling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sellars (1912-1989) was, in the opinion of many, the most important American philosopher of the second half of the twentieth century. This collection, coedited by Sellars's chief interpreter and intellectual heir, should do much to elucidate and clearly establish the significance of this difficult thinker's vision for contemporary philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A misfit crew race across the galaxy to prevent the genocide of magical creatures, in this unique science fiction debut. Having magical powers makes you less than human, a resource to be exploited. Half-unicorn Gary Cobalt is sick of slavery, captivity, and his horn being ground down to power faster-than-light travel. When he's finally free, all he wants is to run away in his ancestors' stone ship. Instead, Captain Jenny Perata steals the ship out from under him, so she can make an urgent delivery. But Jenny held him captive for a decade, and then Gary murdered her best friend... who was also the wife of her co-pilot, Cowboy Jim. What could possibly go right?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Elegance of Reason: On The Nature of Space explores the nature of space as imposed by the various models of the Universe and is essentially a rewrite of the original material which empowered the completion of the first book in this series. These updates and rewrites take advantage of hindsight of over a decade of development, model maturity and the creation of Translation Matrices and Translation Tables which at the time of the original manuscript did not exist. Many of the concepts ultimately developed in The Elegance of Reason series began here or because of the original material. Model encapsulation, Translation Tables, juxtaposition of models leading to the development of The Emergence Model all began with these explorations. As those tools and techniques were employed it became obvious that space is dimensionless nothing. However, 'space being that dimensionless nothing was recognized as an M5 insight completely ignored by M1. It became clear that so many parameters shift from model to model ultimately leading to "Mode shifting" which helps shift our thinking from one model to the next. Mode shifting from M1 to M5 may be complex but the revelation of M5 could not be simpler. The profound implications could not be more stunning. In one short paragraph it describes the unification of physics in a way that fully couples all reference frames and that journey began right here. While the M5 definition of space as dimensionless nothing is interesting, what remains more fascinating is the simultaneity of truth between M5 and M1. The distinction is phenomena manifestation due to the architectural mass in the frame which distinguishes M5 making it the preferred path forward. Join us on a fascinating journey into the nature of space as seen from the vantage point of multiple models of the Universe. Intro video: https: //youtu.be/H6cyDPe9-3U

Download or read book The Astronaut written by Dario Llinares and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Astronaut: Cultural Mythology and Idealised Masculinity interrogates the historical and cultural dynamics of one of the most revered icons of the 20th century. Analysing a diverse range of cultural representations the book postulates the construction of an intertextual mythology through which the astronaut becomes an embodiment of American ideological values and heroic manhood. The discursive processes at work in the range of media texts examined serve to embed the astronaut into the cultural imaginary as a largely coherent and uncontested exemplar of idealised masculinity. Using a range of interdisciplinary analytical tools the book examines how the social construction of this masculine ideal iterates and naturalises gender hegemony. The book situates the astronaut within the context of a modern/postmodern theoretical framework linking shifts in gender perspectives to the contradictory narratives and characterisations that inform the mediation of the astronaut. In so doing, the book argues for a re-evaluation of the, often oversimplified, use of the term hegemonic masculinity as an anchoring point for the critique of masculinity. The strength of this work is its interdisciplinary diversity and its interconnection of a range of themes including gender, representation, history, ideology, the postmodern and the media. Drawing upon contemporary theoretical debates while redeploying seminal theoretical texts the book offers new cultural interrogations of a highly familiar historical subject.
