From ancient philosophy to the big bang, quantum physics, and
cosmology, Titus Joseph takes us on a mind-stretching journey
through time and space to unveil a new law, positional symmetry
(requisite mirror image), that explains how all things come into
existence through the curious symmetries found everywhere in
nature. This exciting new model of the universe draws on concepts
from ancient philosophy and weaves together quantum mechanics with
relativity, through the observable symmetries found in nature. Our
Curious World of Mirror Images sheds new light on what it means to
be human in a world in which all things are interrelated. -

Life is all about being successful and happy. Many of us have
everything and yet find the real happiness missing. We are
constantly in pursuit of that joy which has eluded us forever, thus
far. When we realize our true nature and origin, it enables our
progression towards attaining a happy and fearless state in life.
Each one of us is a divine Soul; unborn, unchanging, immutable and
eternal; an inseparable potency of that Supreme God, who dwells in
us eternally. Though each one of us has the potential to experience
a divine existence, being immortals, we have chosen to take birth
in this mortal world; taking birth to die and dying to take birth
again, in some 8.4 million bodies. There is a mismatch in what is
happening to us. We are immortals, but the bodies we acquire in
this world are not. We can attain the divine, eternal world of God,
if we realize our imperishable relationship with God, who alone can
grant us the state we all seek. With that realization, we can
transcend causes and effects of this karmic world, overcoming grief
and pain. We not only achieve material success, but also live a
useful life, for the self, for our families and for the society.
"The First Pancake" provides guidance for those undergoing a life
transition using an original, understandable pancake metaphor that
normalizes the transition process and encourages the reader to
strive for more delectable pancakes.
Tory Wilcox is a psychotherapist who provides the ingredients
for managing life changes through the five stages one goes through
when enjoying a batch of pancakes: the wake-up call, then the first
pancake, through the blender to the perfect pancake, and finally
digestion. The wake-up call encourages an examination of initial
life decisions like careers and life partners. Wilcox asks us to
pitch the less fulfilling pancakes or choices and start over,
causing our emotions to be tossed around in a blender. Once we have
realized more perfect pancakes, we can digest the changes, feel
confident about making more rewarding choices and remember to keep
adding to our stack. Wilcox offers concrete coping tools, self-help
exercises, and resource recommendations along with real-life
examples and proven strategies.
Through her innovative approach to teaching others how to
successfully handle inevitable life transitions, Wilcox provides
comfort and empowerment to those who believe self-fulfillment can
be achieved in life through a new way of thinking and acting about
change.
Henri Bergson was a great French philosopher whose life overlapped
that of Charles Darwin. He had serious concerns about Darwins
atheistic concept of man and animals evolution. Bergson also
presented ideas of Intelligent Design almost 200 years prior to
it's regeneration in the 20th century. My book separates God from
Evolution of the cosmos and all it contains by espousing the "elan
vitale" as "of God" and the true creater of the Universe. To

This is an autobiographical sketch of selected events, with
emphasis on church memberships and experiences, which affected my
religious philosophy that evolved into my present convictions that
all major world religions and their underlying written
documentation are the works of men, to some of whom divine
inspiration is attributed; that their deities are either
nonexistent fabrications of the authors, interpreters, and
practitioners of their particular religions, or human beings who
claim to be divine, or prophets of a deity or deities, or who were
determined by their followers to be such; and some related essays.
Existentialism is back Carpe diem - 'seize the day' - is one of the
oldest pieces of life advice in Western history. But its true
spirit has been hijacked by ad men and self-help gurus, reduced to
the instant hit of one-click online shopping, or slogans like 'live
in the now'. We need to reclaim it to make sense of our complex,
confusing times. The last great expression of carpe diem was in the
electrifying existential philosophy of the 1940s. Today it's an
idea that challenges us to confront our mortality and live with
greater passion and intention rather than scroll mindlessly on our
phones or allow freedom to become a mere choice between brands. In
Carpe Diem Regained, Roman Krznaric reinvents existentialism for
our age of information and choice overload. An essential and
empowering work of contemporary philosophy, the book unveils the
surprising ways of seizing the day that humankind has discovered
over the centuries, ones we urgently need to revive. Carpe diem is
the Nexistentialism for our times.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
In this book, Paul Franceschi provides us with an introduction to
analytic philosophy. In a concrete way, he chooses to describe
forty paradoxes, arguments or philosophical issues that represent
so many challenges for contemporary philosophy and human
intelligence, for some paradoxes of millennial origin-such as the
Liar or the sorites paradox-are still unresolved in the present
day. Some other philosophical puzzles, however-such as the Doomsday
argument-appeared only recently in the literature. The author
strives to introduce us clearly to each of these problems as well
as to major attempts that have been formulated to solve them.
"I'm really impressed by this very neat and stimulating book. I
highly recommend it both to students for pedagogy and general
culture (prisoner's dilemma, twin-earth, etc.), and to
professionals as well for the reference tool and even more
generally to those who like to think."
Julien Dutant, Philotropes, Philosophical blog
In the wake of much previous work on Gilles Deleuze's relations to
other thinkers (including Bergson, Spinoza and Leibniz), his
relation to Kant is now of great and active interest and a thriving
area of research. In the context of the wider debate between
'naturalism' and 'transcendental philosophy', the implicit dispute
between Deleuze's 'transcendental empiricism' and Kant's
'transcendental idealism' is of prime philosophical concern.
Bringing together the work of international experts from both
Deleuze scholarship and Kant scholarship, Thinking Between Deleuze
and Kant addresses explicitly the varied and various connections
between these two great European philosophers, providing key
material for understanding the central philosophical problems in
the wider 'naturalism/ transcendental philosophy' debate. The book
reflects an area of great current interest in Deleuze Studies and
initiates an ongoing interest in Deleuze within Kant scholarship.
