The book stretches from classic to pun filled prose and "Dittyography." This word has been invented in order to better explain the varied styles of rhymes interspersed along with the articles contained. Ben has written for many Free Press Papers primarily read by senior citizens across the country. AARP is just one of these. The book bases its content on a platform of human interest for anyone who might like to simply peruse positive content and maybe allow themselves to smile instead of what might otherwise be impending.

Man's Fate and God's Choice - An Agenda for Human Transformation (Hardcover): Bhimeswara Challa Man's Fate and God's Choice - An Agenda for Human Transformation (Hardcover)
Bhimeswara Challa
R972 Discovery Miles 9 720 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The world today is facing a bewildering array of problems where human behavior is both brazen and bizarre. Those who are searching for a way out are daring to ask fundamental questions: What is man's rightful place? Are we a doomed species? Is God becoming weary of mankind? In Man's Fate and God's Choice, Bhimeswara Challa shares his comprehensive study of human behavior that suggests that the very paradigm of our thinking is inappropriate for the current challenges we face. In a thoughtful, innovative presentation of ideas, Challa posits that any betterment in human behavior needs a cathartic change at the deepest level, ultimately reawakening the intelligence of the human heart. He begins by examining the greatest challenge of this generation of human beings and continues by placing the multiple identities of man in perspective, reviewing our growing insensitivity to human suffering. Finally, he looks to the living world for inspiration, metaphors, and models for human transformation. Man's Fate and God's Choice incisively covers an array of issues and proposes an agenda for action as it challenges those who see misery and ask "Why?" to also see the promise in the rainbow and then ask "Why not?"

Peripheralizing DeLillo - Surplus Populations, Capitalist Crisis, and the Novel (Hardcover): Thomas Travers Peripheralizing DeLillo - Surplus Populations, Capitalist Crisis, and the Novel (Hardcover)
Thomas Travers
R3,019 Discovery Miles 30 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Peripheralizing DeLillo tracks the historical arc of Don DeLillo’s poetics as it recomposes itself across the genres of short fiction, romance, the historical novel, and the philosophical novel of time. Drawing on theories that capital, rather than the bourgeoisie, is the displaced subject of the novel, Thomas Travers investigates DeLillo’s representation of fully commodified social worlds and re-evaluates Marxist accounts of the novel and its philosophy of history. Deploying an innovative re-periodisation, Travers considers the evolution of DeLillo’s aesthetic forms as they register and encode one of the crises of contemporary historicity: the secular dynamics through which a society organised around waged work tends towards conditions of under- and unemployment. Situating DeLillo within global histories of uneven and combined development, Travers explores how DeLillo’s treatment of capital and labour, affect and narration, reconfigures debates around realism and modernism. The DeLillo that emerges from this study is no longer an exemplary postmodern writer, but a composer of capitalist epics, a novelist drawn to peripheral zones of accumulation, zones of social death whose surplus populations his fiction strives to re-historicise, if not re-dialecticise as subjects of history.

The discipline of engineering presumes certain foundational truths that are not reducible to mathematical formulas. It presupposes certain things about creativity, beauty, and abstraction in order to operate effectively. In short, engineering relies on philosophy. Conversely, philosophy can draw profound truths from principles derived from engineering experience. Engineering and the Ultimate crosses boundaries between a wide variety of disciplines to find truths both new and old that can be transformative to modern thought and practice.

At a clubhouse in Lagos, Nigeria, intellectuals meet for fellowship and to ponder the simple and complicated questions that have puzzled people everywhere.

Among them are Olurombi, a renowned poet; Emeka, a professor of philosophy at one of Nigeria's premier universities; and Ahmed, a physicist researcher at the Planetary and Space Research Institute of Nigeria.

While arguing with each other and enjoying each other's company at their gathering spot, the Egghead Place, the men and their fellow intellectuals provide meaningful insights into African traditions. They also explore local heritage, wise sayings, and insights that break down cultural barriers- all in a fl owing narrative that includes poetry, deep thoughts, and scientific reasoning.

The men and their cohorts closely study abstract thoughts, metaphors, and empirical data as they pursue a quest to understand humanity and life itself. While often seemingly at odds, they find out that they also have a lot in common. Join them as they look at life from an African perspective and discover what ties all of us together in "Colloquies."

In "The Dynamic Concept of Philosophical Mathematics," author Anthony Ugochukwu O. Aliche delves deeply into a comprehensive discussion into the intertwined relationship between philosophy and mathematics. Aliche begins by defining philosophical mathematics and traces its origins and its branches. He then relates the concept to the worlds of science, engineering, technology, creative and applied arts, and human existence.

In this systemic, practical and research-driven work, Aliche presents innovative interpretations of mathematical and philosophical issues and reexamines their relevance and applicability to modern developments. He also proposes abolishing most ancient and primordial mathematical policies and formulas, as they are not helping the world of science and technology to grow.

Presenting principles, practices, and theories, "The Dynamic Concept of Philosophical Mathematics" demystifies the oracle of mathematics and communicates that knowledge is power and must therefore be progressive. He equally insisted that the progressive nature of knowledge which must be God-driven fundamentally fulcrumed the demystification of QED which he replaced with the Infinitude Method which scientifically agrees with the progressive dynamism of knowledge.

"A product of seasoned scholarship, natural wisdom, empirical research, and inspired originality. It is perhaps one of the most sophisticated intellectual inputs to the world of knowledge"

Rebekka A Klein; Translated by Martina Sitling
R5,514 Discovery Miles 55 140 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In addition to being contemplated in the classical disciplines of anthropology, human sociality has been subjected to scientific examination in the natural and social sciences. This book offers a substantial discussion of empirical research programs within current economics (experimental and neuroeconomics), with special regard to the themes of reciprocity and altruism. These themes are discussed from a philosophical perspective informed by phenomenology and hermeneutics, and linked to theories of conflict, recognition and alterity in social philosophy, which are used to show the limitations of the purely science-based naturalistic approaches in economics. Finally, the book introduces the concept of the neighbor in Christian theology and shows how this figure brings a new perspective to the examination of human sociality.

"No Such Thing as Terminal: The Re-Discovery of the Lost Secret German Cure for Cancer and The Fountain of Youth. " Genetic Engineering is not just a futuristic fantasy which is often how Hollywood portrays it to be. Rather it exists in the here and the now and has been in existence with a technical theory that has been giving positive results since the 1930's. These innovations have however been secretly suppressed for a multitude of reasons not the least of which is political power. Now in this book is discussed one person's accidental hit on the secret cure for cancer using genetic engineering. A cure which has existed since the 1930's and has repeatedly been tried both in vivo and in vitro. Herein is explored one person's speculations, scientific discoveries, and evidence of both the credibility of the medicine and the conspiracy of the cover-up. DNA was not first discovered by Crick and Watson nor were they really the first to describe its structure. This was done long before them with the advent of the invention of Quantum Mechanics which began in earnest in 1926 with the work of Schrodinger and earlier with the work of Von Laue in crystallography.
