innovative outlook and contains twenty two chapters which are
singular and exceptional in tune. It includes 250 definitions of

based on Solar Spectrum (VYBGIOR).This new innovative concept
classically explained first in the world. Besides, 'What is Love
Pill? What are the compositions of it? What is the history of love

kiss equals to ten painkillers? How love is an invisible purified
power or force that keeps not only life but also the wheel of
creation speed up. However a little, this book will slake the
parched heart of the different interested fond readers irrespective

By the time of his death in 2006, Sir Peter Strawson was regarded
as one of the world's most distinguished philosophers. Unavailable
for many years, Scepticism and Naturalism is a profound reflection
on two classic philosophical problems by a philosopher at the
pinnacle of his career. Based on his acclaimed Woodbridge lectures
delivered at Columbia University in 1983, Strawson begins with a
discussion of scepticism, which he defines as questioning the
adequacy of our grounds for holding various beliefs. He then draws
deftly on Hume and Wittgenstein to argue that we must distinguish
between 'hard', scientific naturalism; or 'soft', humanistic
naturalism. In the remaining chapters the author takes up several
issues in which sceptical doubts play an important role, in
particular the nature of transcendental arguments and including the
objectivity of moral philosophy, the mental and the physical, and
the existence of abstract entities. Scepticism and Naturalism is
essential reading for those seeking an introduction to the work of
one of the twentieth century's most important and original
philosophers. This reissue includes a substantial new foreword by
Quassim Cassam and a fascinating intellectual autobiography by
Strawson, which together form an excellent introduction to his life
and work.

Achille Mbembe is one of the world’s most profound critics of colonialism and its consequences, a major figure in the emergence of a new wave of French critical theory. His writings examine the complexities of decolonization for African subjectivities and the possibilities emerging in its wake. In Out of the Dark Night, he offers a rich analysis of the paradoxes of the postcolonial moment that points toward new liberatory models of community, humanity and planetarity.
In a nuanced consideration of the African experience, Mbembe makes sweeping interventions into debates about citizenship, identity, democracy, and modernity. He eruditely ranges across European and African thought to provide a powerful assessment of common ways of writing and thinking about the world. Mbembe criticizes the blinkers of European intellectuals, analyzing France’s failure to heed postcolonial critiques of ongoing exclusions masked by pretenses of universalism. He develops a new reading of African modernity that further develops the notion of Afropolitanism, a novel way of being in the world that has arisen in decolonized Africa in the midst of both destruction and the birth of new societies.
Out of the Dark Night reconstructs critical theory’s historical and philosophical framework for understanding colonial and postcolonial events and expands our sense of the futures made possible by decolonization..
