Download or read book Finding the Woman Who Didn t Exist written by Melanie C. Hawthorne and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gisèle d'Estoc was the pseudonym of a nineteenth-century French woman writer and, it turns out, artist who, among other things, was accused of being a bomb-planting anarchist, the cross-dressing lover of writer Guy de Maupassant, and the fighter of at least one duel with another woman, inspiring Bayard's famous painting on the subject. The true identity of this enigmatic woman remained unknown and was even considered fictional until recently, when Melanie C. Hawthorne resurrected d'Estoc's discarded story from the annals of forgotten history. Finding the Woman Who Didn't Exist begins with the claim by expert literary historians of France on the eve of World War II that the woman then known only as Gisèle d'Estoc was merely a hoax. More than fifty years later, Hawthorne not only proves that she did exist but also uncovers details about her fascinating life and career, along the way adding to our understanding of nineteenth-century France, literary culture, and gender identity. Hawthorne explores the intriguing life of the real d'Estoc, explaining why others came to doubt the "experts" and following the threads of evidence that the latter overlooked. In focusing on how narratives are shaped for particular audiences at particular times, Hawthorne also tells "the story of the story," which reveals how the habits of thought fostered by the humanities continue to matter beyond the halls of academe.

Book excerpt: A classic in the philosophy of education, considering the fundamental purpose and function of schools, translated into English for the first time. This classic 1971 work on the fundamental purpose and function of schools belongs on the same shelf as other landmark works of the era, including Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society, Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, and John Holt's How Children Fail.

Christie argues that schools should be proving grounds for how to live together in society rather than assembly lines producing future citizens and employees.

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christians’ God Does Not Exist! Yes, He/She Does! By: Proncell F. Johnson Jr. Carl Sagan, popular astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, and astrobiologist wrote: “We are Star Stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands.” The scientific community basically agrees that everything is made of atoms. Proncell F. Johnson Jr. says that they are all wrong! Johnson shows that the material universe (along with us mortals) is one big illusion for all things are actually incorporeal/spiritual, the manifestation of the spiritual being we Christians have come to call God. He says that the realization of and utilization of this fact will enable one to duplicate for himself the “so-called” miracles of Christ Jesus in degrees, thus proving the existence of this God, and the non-existence of matter. Johnson’s proof is based upon a law of physics that make it all but impossible to refute as the below reviews confirm.

Download or read book G spot Punto G Point G does not exist claims published by Beverly Whipple Emmanuele Jannini Odile Buisson Helen O Connell et al have no scientific basis written by Vincenzo Puppo and published by Vincenzo Puppo. This book was released on 2014-04-25 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesson with 150 pages and 30 figures. G-spot (Punto G - Point G) does not exist: is it a scientific fraud? Grafenberg did not describe a vaginal spot or the G-spot in his 1950 article. Grafenberg did describe some cases of female and male urethral masturbation. The claims that were made in the numerous articles that have been written by Beverly Whipple, Emmanuele Jannini, Odile Buisson, Helen O’Connell, Stuart Brody, Adam Ostrzenski, Irwin Goldstein, Chiara Simonelli, and others have no scientific basis. G-spot amplification is an unnecessary medical procedure, and the supposed G-spot should not be identified with Grafenberg’s name. Vaginal orgasm does not have any scientific basis and is a theory that was invented by Freud. Clitoral/vaginal/uterine orgasm, G-/A-/C-/U-/K-/O-/DVZ-spot orgasm, female ejaculation, persistent genital arousal disorder, premature female orgasm, clitoral bulbs, clitoral complex, internal clitoris, Halban’s fascia and vaginal anterior fornix erogenous zone, genitosensory component of the vagus nerve, pubococcygeus muscle, premature ejaculation, FSFI, are terms that must not be used by gynecologists, urologists, sexologists, sexual medicine experts and mass-media. Sexologists must to teach boys how stimulate the clitoris and labia minora, and that the clitoral stimulation with a finger simultaneous with vaginal/anal intercourse facilitates or allows the female orgasm. G-spot is only a business: is it a scientific fraud? Over the past years there have been articles published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine claiming to have proved the presence of G-spot in women. Are Helen O’Connell, Emmanuele Jannini, Odile Buisson, Beverly Whipple, Stuart Brody, Adam Ostrzenski et al. articles passed really from a peer review process? The Journal of Sexual Medicine (Editor: Dr. Irwin Goldstein) appears fixated on this topic, but these articles can to promote unnecessary cosmetic genital procedures or sex toys, and they makes women anxious about their bodies and sexual experiences. Irwin Goldstein vs women sexual health: The Journal of Sexual Medicine rejected, without scientific motivations, 32 manuscripts submitted by Vincenzo Puppo (but then they have been accepted by other Journals: see in Pubmed or in ResearchGate http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Vincenzo_Puppo/ ). Emails from Irwin Goldstein to Vincenzo Puppo.

Download or read book The Atheist Who Didn t Exist written by Andy Bannister and published by Monarch Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A breath, a gust, a positive whoosh of fresh air. Made me laugh, made me think, made me cry. " Adrian Plass In the last decade, atheism has leapt from obscurity to the front pages: producing best-selling books, making movies, and plastering adverts on the side of buses. There's an energy and a confidence to contemporary atheism: many people now assume that a godless scepticism is the default position, indeed the only position for anybody wishing to appear educated, contemporary, and urbane. Atheism is hip, religion is boring. Yet when one pokes at popular atheism, many of the arguments used to prop it up quickly unravel. The Atheist Who Didn't Exist is designed to expose some of the loose threads on the cardigan of atheism, tug a little, and see what happens. Blending humour with serious thought, Andy Bannister helps the reader question everything, assume nothing and, above all, recognise lazy scepticism and bad arguments. Be an atheist by all means: but do be a thought-through one.

Download or read book Does God Exist written by Todd C. Moody and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engaging introductory dialogue, Todd Moody maps the spectrum of philosophical arguments and counterarguments for the existence of God. Structuring colloquial conversations along classical lines, he presents a lively and accessible discussion of issues that are central to both theist and atheist thinking, including the burden of proof, the first cause, a necessary being, the natural order, suffering, miracles, experience as knowledge, and rationality without proof. The second edition is a significant and comprehensive revision. Moody broadens and deepens the conversation by addressing additional arguments, such as the problem of animal suffering, the moral argument, intelligent design, and human exceptionalism. The discussion of the cosmological argument is updated to reflect recent work on the Kalam Cosmological Argument. A short preface explains the scope of the work and the purpose of the dialogue form. Suggested further readings of contemporary and classical sources are also included.

This classic 1971 work on the fundamental purpose and function of schools belongs on the same shelf as other landmark works of the era, including Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society, Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, and John Holt's How Children Fail. Nils Christie's If School Didn't Exist, translated into English for the first time, departs from these works by not considering schooling (and deschooling) as much as schools and their specific community and social contexts. Christie argues that schools should be proving grounds for how to live together in society rather than assembly lines producing future citizens and employees. Christie presents three examples of schools in different settings—a French village school that became the bedrock of its community; federal government–run schools for Native Americans that facilitated the experience of inferiority; and a British secondary school that reinforced class stratification. He considers the school's function as a storage space (for an unproductive segment of society), as a means for differentiation (based on merit), and as distributor of knowledge. He introduces the idea of the school-society, a self-governing body of students, teachers, parents, and community; and he offers a vision of a society based on normalizing the needs and values of local communities.

Book excerpt: A humorous philosophical investigation into the existence of Santa from a co–executive producer of The Big Bang Theory—the perfect stocking stuffer for the deep thinker on everyone’s list. Emmy award–winning comedy writer and philosophy scholar Eric Kaplan brilliantly turns a search for the truth about Santa into a laugh-out-loud metaphysical romp. Surveying everything from the analytic philosophy of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein to Buddhism, Taoism, and Kabbalah, Kaplan alights on comedy—including The Big Bang Theory and Monty Python—as the best way to resolve life’s most profound paradoxes, including the existence of perfect moments, Santa, and even God.

Download or read book Does God Exist I Do Do Not Believe This Book is for You written by Craig J. Radford and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does science prove God's existence or provide more reasons to doubt? Does God truly exist? That is the age-old seemingly unanswerable question. But what if there was an answer? What if the answer has been staring us right in the face for centuries, but we've been too busy missing the forest for the trees? This book invites you to take a step back and look at the broader picture. It offers anecdotes, observations and, most importantly, scientific evidence of the universal, all-encompassing, culture-transcending purpose that connects us all. In that purpose, we find many paths to a knowledge that has eluded humankind for as long as we have had the ability to wonder: proof that God does indeed exist. We find this knowledge in the stars, in the nature of time, in the laws of physics, in our own bodies, and in equations as complex as advanced calculus and unconditional love. It's just a matter of knowing where (and how) to look. In a centuries-old debate that has always placed science in an adversarial role with faith, this book brings the two camps together, using logic and reason to prove the existence of God. For the atheist, these pages eschew scriptural references in favor of evolutionary, philosophical, cultural, and natural evidence. For the believer, this book enhances your faith with affirmative arguments steeped in mathematics, particle physics, and a host of other scientific and real-world observations. And for anyone who has ever looked up at the sky and wondered what might lie beyond, this book provides a clear, compelling, life-affirming answer. "Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything." "" Napoleon Hill "As a secularist and humanist who doesn't share the same conclusions, I was surprised with what an enjoyable read this is. This is the strongest summary to date that I've seen for the Theist position." "" Jeremy Runnells, author of the CES Letter "Written through a Euro-centric philosophical and western science lens, one has the opportunity to consider not only the argument for and against the belief in a God, but to contemplate a middle ground where the dualities of such sit squarely within the most important part of the equation- the one who asks the question. This book is a worthwhile read, particularly for those seeking to dive more deeply into the self." "" Jonathan Webb, Dr. of Theology

Download or read book Does Tomorrow Exist written by Nikk Effingham and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes up the question of whether past and future events exist. Two very different views are explored. According to one of these views (presentism), advanced by Nikk Effingham, the present is special. Effingham argues that only present things exist, but which things those are changes as time passes. Given presentism, although there once existed dinosaurs, they exist no more, and although you and I exist, at some time in the future we will come to exist no more. According to the alternative view (eternalism), advanced by Kristie Miller, our world is a giant four-dimensional block of spacetime in which all things, past, present, and future, exist. On this view, dinosaurs exist, it is just that they are not located at the current time. The book considers arguments for and against presentism and eternalism, including arguments that appeal to our best science, to the way the world seems to us to be in our experiences of time, change, and freedom, and to how to make sense of ordinary claims about the past. Key Features: Offers an accessible introduction to the philosophy of temporal ontology Captures the process of philosophical debate, giving readers an insight into the craft of philosophy Engages with and clearly explains state-of-the-art and cutting-edge research

Download or read book Life Why We Exist and What We Must Do to Survive written by Martin G. Walker and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered why we're here, what it all means? In Life Why We Exist. And What We Must Do to Survive, Martin Walker reveals that the laws of space and time shape our form and purpose, and that by acting on this purpose we can ensure the continued survival of life on earth. Life guides us toward the inescapable conclusion that life's persistence is our number-one goal; this goal not only shapes everything we do, think, and feel, but holds our future in the balance. With its compelling and fascinating description of the origins of morality, spirituality, politics, and love, Life stands on its own as a work of great literature. In its contribution to human understanding, it is the most important book since Darwin's The Origin of Species. Why do we exist? Why does anything exist? Rationalists would argue that the answer lies in a complete and comprehensive understanding of the physical aspects of the universe. Those with a more spiritual outlook might claim that science only tells part of the story, that the ultimate answer rests on faith. And philosophers may raise an eyebrow at any attempt to achieve an ultimate answer. But what if we were to trace a path from the origins of the universe to the present day, examining how the forms of existence have appeared and developed over time, would we be able to discern some pattern and purpose that is otherwise obscure? Martin Walker has spent his life seeking to understand why things are the way they are. Martin studied Physics at St. John's College, Oxford, and now lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife, Hope, his daughter, Dorothy, and his son, Zane. The idea that the meaning of life can be found in the fundamental principles of existence came to him during a waking dream on a trans-Atlantic flight. Martin did not rest until he had uncovered the principles that shape our dreams, hopes and fears. In Life , he shares the fruits of his discovery. Part scientist, part philosopher, part poet, Martin succeeds in bridging the gap between science and spirituality in prose that is compelling, inspirational, and seductive.

Download or read book Does God Exist written by Stan W. Wallace and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most recent debates by leading contemporary philosophers of enduring themes and issues concerning the question of God's existence. William Craig and Antony Flew met on the 50th anniversary of the famous Copleston/Russell debate to discuss the question of God's existence in a public debate. The core of this book contains the edited transcript of that debate. Also included are eight chapters in which other significant philosophers - Paul Draper, R. Douglas Geivett, Michael Martin, Keith Parsons, William Rowe, William Wainwright, Keith Yandell and David Yandell - critique the debate and address the issues raised. Their substantial and compelling insights complement and further the debate, helping the reader delve more deeply into the issues that surfaced. In the two final chapters, Craig and Flew respond and clarify their positions, taking the debate yet one step further. The result of these many contributions is a book which provides the reader with a summary of the current discussion and allows one to enter into the dialogue on this central question in the philosophy of religion.
