In Poetics of Deconstruction, Lynn Turner develops an intimate
attention to independent films, art and the psychoanalyses by which
they might make sense other than under continued license of the
subject that calls himself man. Drawing extensively from Jacques
Derrida's philosophy in precise dialogue with feminist thought,
animal studies and posthumanism, this book explores the
vulnerability of the living as rooted in non-oppositional
differences. From abjection to mourning, to the speculative and the
performative, it reposes concepts and buzzwords seemingly at home
in feminist theory, visual culture and the humanities more broadly.
Stepping away from the carno-phallogocentric legacies of the
signifier and the dialectic, Poetics of Deconstruction asks you to
welcome nonpower into politics, always sexual but no longer
anchored in sacrifice.
Somewhere near the heart of existence, shimmers the ethereal beauty
of the mystery of Time. Though seemingly familiar to us all, time
harbours secrets that penetrate the very deepest levels of reality,
and though we feel certain in our conviction that we're swept forth
upon the crest of its never-ending flow, with Einstein's discovery
of relativity came what is perhaps the most stunning realisation in
the entire history of scientific thought - the wondrously
breathtaking revelation that in reality, there's actually no such
thing as the passage of time... How can this extraordinary truth be
reconciled with the reality we so surely suppose to experience?
What does it mean for the very human concerns of life and death,
free will, identity, and self? What should it mean for our
philosophy? And how should it inform our world view? The search for
answers leads through the fantastical realm of quantum physics, and
the strange parallel worlds it describes, as we discover that the
answers which such questions provoke, are perhaps even more
profound than the questions themselves. Buried deep within the
riddle of time, lies the staggering beauty of the world. As we peel
back the layers to try and sneak a glimpse into eternity, we find a
light shining not only upon the nature of reality, but on the
nature of ourselves...
In this thesis the author firstly investigates various terms
related to tathagatagarbha in the Srimalasutra. Secondly he focuses
on the languages features of its Sanskrit fragments in the Schoyen
Collection. It turns out that none of their noticeable language
features can ultimately suggest the school-affiliation of the
Srimalasutra. Thirdly he analyzes its paleographical features.
Besides, the author conducts an initial study of textual history
the Srimalasutra, and discusses the older recension(s) of the
Srimalasutra based on the Sanskrit morphology, criteria of lectio
difficilior and lectio facilior, ascertainment of later contents in
the course of transmission, and the development of Buddhist
doctrine. Finally he provides a careful textual collation, and
makes an annotated translation.

The book by Professor Kurbanov Marat Ahnafovich is about a new
worldview, a new teaching on the way to self-awareness, to
understanding the planet and Universe as a whole, to knowing good
from evil. The book uncovers that knowledge which the new Man, the
new generation that has been born on the planet in new conditions
should accept. The book gives the reader an opportunity to accept
the new laws of the world, whiteout which step the future of all
humanity is impossible; it gives the key to understanding the Unity
of the Universe. Accept this book and you will be One with the
World, with the whole Universe The book has healing powers. Homo
Sapiens Accept and understand Everything Because Everything - is in
you, and, as Everything is in you, then, it is what the Creation
is, because Creation is the essence of Homo Sapiens.
A philosophical analysis of the rationality of the Christian faith
and the rationality of science aims at establishing the kind of
relationship that should exist between religion and science owing
to the human rational capacity as the uniting factor. If the human
being is one and that same human being is rational and capable of
science and religion, there should be a possibility of a
reconciliation of these two domains within his rational capacity.
The study takes into consideration the various models of the
relationship between science and religion and arrives at the fact
that conflicts that seem to arise are always due to lack of
intellectual honesty and the failure to accept the limits of one's
competence. This is a product of a scientific doctoral research.
