Download or read book The Science of Behavior and the Image of Man written by Carl von Clausewitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does a proper respect for science require psychologists to view man as an impotent reactor whose responses are completely determined by his physical constitution and the forces impinging upon him? In this wise and well-argued book, Isidor Chein invites his readers to lift their eyes from experimental research for a time to consider the relationship between science and the image of man.Few psychologists, even the most gifted and dedicated among them, pause to consider the philosophical underpinnings of their work. It is almost as though the humanist secretly lurking in each of them is fearful of the bad news he might finally be forced to accept--that man is essentially an exquisitely complicated robot. This fear is misplaced and harmful. It is largely responsible for the disturbing fact that scientific psychology has produced, in Chein's estimate, so little that is relevant to the humanities, so little, as he puts it, "that has lived up to psychology's promise to itself."What must be more widely understood is that it does not follow that behavioral law is reducible to physiological law, or that physiological law is reducible to physical law. With an uncompromising commitment to scientific method, Chein shows that, when closely analyzed, there is actually no need to assume an unbridgeable gap between scientific psychology and psychoanalytic, humanistic psychology. This is a lucid and powerful theoretical work of importance for scholars in all fields sharing the belief that the proper study of mankind is man."The Science of Behavior and the Image of Man is written by the most intellectually stimulating and respected representative of scientific humanistic psychology."--Robert B. Holt, Professor of Psychology, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, New York University

Download or read book Miranda in Milan written by Katharine Duckett and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Miranda in Milan, debut author Katharine Duckett reimagines the consequences of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, casting Miranda into a Milanese pit of vipers and building a queer love story that lifts off the page in whirlwinds of feeling. After the tempest, after the reunion, after her father drowned his books, Miranda was meant to enter a brave new world. Naples awaited her, and Ferdinand, and a throne. Instead she finds herself in Milan, in her father’s castle, surrounded by hostile servants who treat her like a ghost. Whispers cling to her like spiderwebs, whispers that carry her dead mother’s name. And though he promised to give away his power, Milan is once again contorting around Prospero’s dark arts. With only Dorothea, her sole companion and confidant to aid her, Miranda must cut through the mystery and find the truth about her father, her mother, and herself. “Love and lust, mothers and monsters, magicians and masked balls, all delivered with Shakespearean panache.” —Nicola Griffith, author of Hild “Miranda in Milan is somehow both utterly charming and perfectly sinister, and altogether delightful. A pleasure for any lover of romance, myth, and magic—whether or not they're fans of the Bard.” —Cherie Priest, author of Boneshaker and I Am Princess X At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Download or read book The Uses of Diversity written by Gilbert Keith Chesterton and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1926 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: f one might hazard an opinion as to the literary form in which this protean writer excels, one might justly predicate the essay, particularly such not long enough to allow him to become tangled in his own complicated cleverness! "The Uses of Diversity" is a kaleidoscope, a crazy-quilt, an olla-podrida, that he has made of his weekly page, "Our Notebook," in the Illustrated London News,where he succeeded his friend and sympathizer, Hilaire Belloc, and where he roamed at will and unrestrained among books, men and questions of the hour. His titles know no restriction—they run the gamut of variety, and to make diversity doubly diverse, they often have little to do with the subject nominally under discussion. Even when he sticks to his caption, it is in startling fashion, for the only thing to expect of Chesterton is the unexpected. On the whole, this collection shows our famous British visitor in his most genial and witty mood.

Download or read book A Neomedieval Essay in Philosophical Theology written by Ramon M. Lemos and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extended essay presents the meditations of an eminent scholar on medieval philosophical theology. Beginning with a discussion of faith and reason, Ramon M. Lemos argues that we can be practically justified in accepting certain religions even though we may not know that their central claims are true. Lemos moves on to his operational definition of God, based on St. Anselm's concept of God as a being that which no greater can be conceived. From this ground, he considers various medieval arguments for the existence of God and refutes the ability of the major arguments to succeed in demonstrating God's existence. He concludes that it is impossible to demonstrate the existence of God philosophically. This provocative book addresses the fundamental issues in the philosophy of religion--from a Christian perspective--while maintaining the necessary intellectual distance between revealed theology and philosophy.
