Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Idea of the Soul Few conceptions can Show the universality and permanence, the creative power and morphological influence which have characterised throughout history the Idea of the Soul. To it we owe the conception of an order of spiritual beings, and of a spiritual world existing now and hereafter. At some relatively late stage of culture it became absolute in the idea of God. It is thus the basis of all religion. One typical case may be cited. The highest authority on the religions of China concludes that the human soul is the original form of all beings of a higher order. Its worship is the basis of religion in that country. Taoism was originally a compendium of customs and practices framed upon the prevailing ideas concerning the human soul. It cast these into a system of philosophy, alchemy, and religion. But neither its origin nor its influence is confined to the religious Sphere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Soul I have given this book the title it bears because it describes, as accurately as any other, the main idea and contents of it. The topics discussed are varied, but they are all gates into the same field. They come back, like radii from a circumference, towards one centre. The object sought in them all has been, starting from these different standpoints, to pene trate the mystery of the soul of its life, its faculties, its possibilities, its relation to God, man and the universe. I offer no reasoned philosophy of the theme far less a theology. The most I can hope for is that my readers may find here some material for both; material for suggestion if nothing more. I have written under the conviction that there is nothing that is happening in the crowded field of modern life but finds its explanation in our spiritual condition; that no one of our pressing problems, whether of labour unrest, of religious difficulty, of social reorganisation, but must seek its solution in the recesses of the soul.

Download or read book The Concept of the Human Soul written by William P. O'connor and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Concept of the Human Soul: According to Saint Augustine The aim of this dissertation is to present and explain the concept of the human soul as it is found in the writings of Saint Augustine. The soul of man was for Saint Augustine an object of life-long study and investigation. He was not particularly concerned about the soul as such, the plant soul, or the irrational soul of the brute, except insofar as a study of these might serve to throw some light on the nature and activities of the human soul. His interest in the soul of man was not actuated by mere curiosity to know for the sake of knowing, but he sought to know the human soul as a means whereby he might arrive at a clearer and better understanding of the Supreme Being. The concept of the human soul as it appears in the writings of Saint Augustine is not set forth in a systematic manner, but the elements that enter into its make-up are found widely scattered through his various philosophical, apologetical, polemical, exegetical, and dogmatical works. He wrote a few special treatises on the human soul, but he never attempted to construct an organized philosophy of the soul. The present thesis proposes to collect and coordinate the philosophical fragments of Saint Augustine's doctrine of the human soul and to interpret these in the light of his mental progress. There is a tendency on the part of some commentators to over-emphasize the Platonic character of Augustine's doctrine of the human soul. It is true that those works which were published during the first few years of his career manifest the strong influence of his recent study of Neo-Platonism. The treatises, however, which belong to that period when he was Bishop of Hippo and one of the most renowned scholars of his day stamp him unquestionably as a Christian philospoher. It is indispensable to the correct understanding of Augustine's concept of the human soul that due regard be paid to the development which characterizes his doctrine.

He also addresses the growing international interest in American philosophy and sheds light on a defining movement in its history.

Download or read book The Debate of the Body and the Soul Classic Reprint written by Francis James Child and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Debate of the Body and the Soul The conception underlying the Debate of the Body and the Soul is very old. Two interesting passages in Plutarch show the idea m a rather definite form, and justify us in supposing that the comparative advantages or disadvantages accruing to Soul and Body' from their association in this life was a well-known theme in the discussions of the ancient schools. Along with other bits of antique lore, this general conception passed into the confused stock of moral, psychological, and religious beliefs that mingled with Biblical doctrines in the minds of the early Christians, and thus, reinforced or modified by divers traits from the Orient, it became a part of the medi aval consciousness. Among the documents which influenced the growth of the legend, an obscure, but significant, role was played by the apocryphal Vision of St. Paul, assigned to about 380 A. D and by an uncanny tale sometimes assomated with _st. Macarius of Alexandria, a holy man of the fourth century.

Download or read book Coming to Mind written by Lenn E. Goodman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should we speak of bodies and souls? In Coming to Mind, Lenn E. Goodman and D. Gregory Caramenico pick their way through the minefields of materialist reductionism to present the soul not as the brain’s rival but as its partner. What acts, they argue, is what is real. The soul is not an ethereal wisp but a lively subject, emergent from the body but inadequately described in its terms. Rooted in some of the richest philosophical and intellectual traditions of Western and Eastern philosophy, psychology, literature, and the arts and the latest findings of cognitive psychology and brain science—Coming to Mind is a subtle manifesto of a new humanism and an outstanding contribution to our understanding of the human person. Drawing on new and classical understandings of perception, consciousness, memory, agency, and creativity, Goodman and Caramenico frame a convincing argument for a dynamic and integrated self capable of language, thought, discovery, caring, and love.

Download or read book Finding a Replacement for the Soul written by Brett Bourbon and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaching the study of literature as a unique form of the philosophy of language and mind--as a study of how we produce nonsense and imagine it as sense--this is a book about our human ways of making and losing meaning. Brett Bourbon asserts that our complex and variable relation with language defines a domain of meaning and being that is misconstrued and missed in philosophy, in literary studies, and in our ordinary understanding of what we are and how things make sense. Accordingly, his book seeks to demonstrate how the study of literature gives us the means to understand this relationship. The book itself is framed by the literary and philosophical challenges presented by Joyce's Finnegan's Wake and Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. With reference to these books and the problems of interpretation and meaning that they pose, Bourbon makes a case for the fundamental philosophical character of the study of literature, and for its dependence on theories of meaning disguised as theories of mind. Within this context, he provides original accounts of what sentences, fictions, non-fictions, and poems are; produces a new account of the logical form of fiction and of the limits of interpretation that follow from it; and delineates a new and fruitful domain of inquiry in which literature, philosophy, and science intersect. Table of Contents: Preface Note on Abbreviations Introduction: What Are We When We Are Not? Part I The Surface of Language and the Absence of Meaning 1. From Soul-Making to Person-Making 2. The Logical Form of Fiction 3. The Emptiness of Literary Interpretation 4. To Be But Not To Mean 5. How Do Oracles Mean? Part II Senses and Nonsenses: Joyce's Finnegans Wake and Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations 6. A Twitterlitter of Nonsense: Askesis at Finnegans Wake 7. The Analogy between Persons and Words 8. "The Human Body Is the Best Picture of the Human Soul" 9. The Senses of Time 10. Being Something and Meaning Something Bibliography Acknowledgments Index This is an adventurous and unusual book. Bourbon moves back and forth between literary and philosophical contexts with ease, showing in multifarious ways how the one can, often in unexpected ways, illuminate the other. Throughout these wide-ranging explorations Bourbon uncovers a good deal about both the nature of literary meaning and our distinctive -- if tellingly irreducible -- relations to literary texts. --Garry L. Hagberg, author of Art as Language: Wittgenstein, Meaning, and Aesthetic Theory and Meaning and Interpretation: Wittgenstein, Henry James, and Literary Knowledge

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Immortality of the Soul As we peer into the starry depths on a clear night, when the noise of the day has softened into an impressive silence, undis turbed, our Vision penetrates to stars that retreat into mere points of light. The telescope is brought to our aid and there is revealed to us innumerable stars'far beyond the reach of the naked eye. We have no means of determining the distance to which the stars may extend in space beyond those within the field of view of the most powerful telescope. We are in the habit of placing boundaries to all existences that come within' the scope of our mental operations. We place limitations on all existences that come to occupy a place in space and time. We are aware of the limit of space, _in which the human body is con fined and the extent of its activities on earth. We are certain of the limited time allotted to the organized body in its career on earth. We are certain that the earth is limited in space and time. We do not doubt that there are regions in space, beyond the reach of the Sun's light. Although we can not escape the conscious conviction of the existences that are limited in space and duration, yet our minds are capable of apprehending that which does not admit of limitation. We can not get away from the truth that space is boundless and that we can form no con ception of the limits of its extension. How are our minds brought in touch with infinite space? What is that entity which we call infinite space? We can not apply our knowledge of mathematics, science and philosophy in demonstrating or prov ing infinite space. How then is the mind made certain that there is that which we call infinite space? We trace back the years of our lives and the entire line of our ancestors until we reach the first man. Our marvelous minds continue to revert still farther back into duration, through the ages that preceded man, until we enter into the thought of a duration that had no beginning. We are now convinced of the eternity that knows no beginning. What is time? What is eternity? We look about for the proof of this mysterious eternity, and we find that our mathematics, our smence and our philosophy can not fathom it. How are we brought to a recognition of infinite space and the eternity of duration? These truths are revealed to us by that indwelling power of the mind that was created in us, and which we call intuition.
