Download or read book The Aesthetic Imperative written by Peter Sloterdijk and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging book, renowned philosopher and cultural theorist Peter Sloterdijk examines art in all its rich and varied forms: from music to architecture, light to movement, and design to typography. Moving between the visible and the invisible, the audible and the inaudible, his analyses span the centuries, from ancient civilizations to contemporary Hollywood. With great verve and insight he considers the key issues that have faced thinkers from Aristotle to Adorno, looking at art in its relation to ethics, metaphysics, society, politics, anthropology and the subject. Sloterdijk explores a variety of topics, from the Greco-Roman invention of postcards to the rise of the capitalist art market, from the black boxes and white cubes of modernism to the growth of museums and memorial culture. In doing so, he extends his characteristic method of defamiliarization to transform the way we look at works of art and artistic movements. His bold and original approach leads us away from the well-trodden paths of conventional art history to develop a theory of aesthetics which rejects strict categorization, emphasizing instead the crucial importance of individual subjectivity as a counter to the latent dangers of collective culture. This sustained reflection, at once playful, serious and provocative, goes to the very heart of Sloterdijk’s enduring philosophical preoccupation with the aesthetic. It will be essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy and aesthetics and will appeal to anyone interested in culture and the arts more generally.
Download or read book Extended States for the Schr dinger Operator with Quasi Periodic Potential in Dimension Two written by Yulia Karpeshina and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors consider a Schrödinger operator H=−Δ+V(x⃗ ) in dimension two with a quasi-periodic potential V(x⃗ ). They prove that the absolutely continuous spectrum of H contains a semiaxis and there is a family of generalized eigenfunctions at every point of this semiaxis with the following properties. First, the eigenfunctions are close to plane waves ei⟨ϰ⃗ ,x⃗ ⟩ in the high energy region. Second, the isoenergetic curves in the space of momenta ϰ⃗ corresponding to these eigenfunctions have the form of slightly distorted circles with holes (Cantor type structure). A new method of multiscale analysis in the momentum space is developed to prove these results. The result is based on a previous paper on the quasiperiodic polyharmonic operator (−Δ)l+V(x⃗ ), l>1. Here the authors address technical complications arising in the case l=1. However, this text is self-contained and can be read without familiarity with the previous paper.

Download or read book The Great Omission written by Jon W Nelms and published by Phalanx Media Networks LLC. This book was released on 2011-03-20 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his book, The Great Omission, missionary Jon Nelms "tells it like it is" by exposing the failures in missions and the reasons behind them as he leads the reader to logical, Biblical, and proven solutions that, if followed, will allow this to be the first generation to fulfill the Lord's Great Commission since it was assigned some 2,000 years ago. Drawing from the personal stories gleaned from his 24 years of missionary work around the world, Jon will stir, motivate, and may even upset you. In doing so, he will challenge your conceptions and lead you to consider God's plan and methods that have been laid aside to perpetuate the unsuccessful, unbiblical methods that have handicapped missionaries for centuries. It is not likely that you can even get past the preface without your concept of missions being both challenged and changed.

Download or read book Lavender Cinnamon Box Set Books 1 3 written by Monica La Porta and published by Monica La Porta. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pastry chef witch & the billionaire dragon-shifter: Not your mother's meet-cute… Book 1 The pastry chef witch & the billionaire dragon-shifter: Not your mother's meet-cute… So… it doesn’t happen every day that you see a dragon shifter’s junk, up close and personal. Well, you’d think it’s this witch’s lucky day, but nope. Not even close. In fact, this day has been disastrous so far. But let me rewind the story for you. Hi, my name’s Aubrey, and I own Lavender & Cinnamon, the award-winning pastry shop conveniently located in one of the coziest neighborhoods in Seattle. My life’s filled with cupcake and hexes, and I like it exactly the way it is. Yesterday, I received ominous news from Mr. Stuart, my landlord—you guessed correctly, he’s the owner of the junk mentioned before. Anyway, he wants to evict my shop to build a high-rise on top of it. The last thing I need is a domineering billionaire who thinks he can do whatever he wants because he's rich. Sure, the man is unbearably handsome, generously endowed (I took a good look at it) and makes me weak in the knees... but rest assured I won't give up my shop without a fight. Book 2 Hi! It’s me, Aubrey, again! Lavender & Cinnamon remains open! Yeah for me! Unfortunately, that’s the least of my worries. It turns out Andrew (you remember Mr. Stuart and his enormous… attitude) and I were hexed and chained together by an invisible rope. It could be worse, you might think, being him a hunk and all. I’d agree with you if it weren’t for the small detail of the striking blonde who just entered the scene. She’s Andrew’s fiancée. What? Did you see that coming? I sure didn’t… Andrew better have a very good explanation for forgetting to mention he was engaged while he was enthusiastically groping me, or the chain hex will be the least of his problems. Book 3 Where were we? Right… I’m Aubrey, the witch and pastry chef from Seattle who got hexed alongside a handsome dragon-shifter. In the meantime, I might’ve fallen for the hunk (okay, I’ll admit I’m head over heels in love with him), and he seems to be quite smitten with me as well—which, given my sparkling personality, shouldn’t come as a surprise. The only problem is that both my dad and Andrew’s ex-father-in-law are vehemently opposed to our idea of happily ever after and are fighting us with fangs and spells. Plus, it would seem that our story started a few centuries ago… But love always conquers all, right?
