Michael Moran is fascinated by the thinkers he discusses. But unlike most of them, he has no illusion that philosophy can do the work of science and be even a minor source of factual knowledge. Moreover, being highly speculative, it is unlikely that most philosophy will reveal more to us about the `nature of reality' than, say, imaginative literature. Among other things, the author considers both where the usefulness, and indeed the dangers, of philosophy may lie and how, as an academic subject, it might be practised. `I have written this volume not primarily for fellow academics but for anyone who is really interested in modern philosophy and who would like to know what another thoughtful reader has made of it. In other words, I still cling to the hope that there must somewhere exist an intelligent readership outside the routines of academia itself, consisting of individuals who are deeply concerned with ideas, are already reasonably informed, but feel the need for more stimulus. This book is primarily meant for them.' (Introduction, p. 9) Sir Isaiah Berlin, commenting on the author's article on Coleridge: `It seems to me to be one of the most perceptive pieces on Coleridge that I have ever read in English.'

It is illustrated in a fresh and modern way with a touch of abstract and so should appeal to a wider audience. With hints of social and human psychology, spirituality combinded with creativity - it just scratches each issue on the surface. The book doesn't impose any strong views or lengthy "deep" writing to bore, but is says enough - acting as a catalyst to encourage deeper thought, reflection and discussion. "Themes Of Life.... A simple but Spiritual, Creative and Psychological approach to tackling some key issues which we face, In Human relationships & in Society today"

The head space that one has is the back office to all actions and reactions following an experience. Now, let it be known that the time frame between the experience and the response relies on the back office to generate chatter that takes place in autopilot. Further, when we slow down the gap between the experience and the reaction the chatter becomes a wiser chatter. the wise chatter is referred to as Mindfulness. I decided to document my mindful chatter to open up the secrets of the back office. It involved thinking out aloud. the hardest think was keeping it in raw form. I learnt a thing or two about my self beliefs.

Unlock the hidden sacred temple science of the ancient world, that has informed Freemasonry and the Grail Tradition.

John Michael Greer unlocks the secrets of ancient temples in this pioneering discussion of their sacred geometry, that gave rise to the world's most awe-inspiring cathedrals, and the cryptic ceremonies of modern-day Freemasons. Thousands of years ago, people began to notice that certain structures had beneficial effects on the crops that sustained their lives. The Temple of Solomon was one of many of these ancient structures that drew on the temple tradition, and its secrets and traditions were passed along by way of the Knights Templar to the Freemasons. Within these pages, Greer expertly unpicks the mysterious history of Freemasonry, tracing the ancient secrets of the temple in different religions and geographies, from Mesopotamia, to China, to Japan, to Africa.

The book also explores the place of the temple in Christianity, as well as the Grail tradition. In the final two sections of the book, Greer reveals how the sacred geometry, and the technology of the temple, were used to yield significant benefits to local agricultural fertility, revealing how these secrets can be used again today.

The Secret of the Temple rebuilds this lost body of knowledge that has been used to accumulate and direct energy throughout history, and is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover the secrets of freemasonry, sacred geometry, and the Grail tradition.

There is an art to stillness and silence - its almost a religious experience. So, take a moment to re-align your thinking and recognise the gifts that are around you. Nothing is more valuable than the here and now - in case you hadn't noticed.

From Kathmandu to Toronto, what to do with waste has become a major problem. In the UK this problem is dealt with by public inquiries. These tend to involve emotive issues where human energy becomes embroiled passionately, to satisfy personal desires. The author deals with these issues by introducing the reader to the philosophy of an American scientist and philosopher, Charles Sanders Peirce, whose particular interest was logic - 'the science of drawing conclusions': the greatest need of inquiries By providing a case study of one such planning inquiry, the author considers aesthetic, instrumental and scientific arguments which are connected to Peirce's three categories: experiencer's feelings (Firstness), actions (Secondness) and thoughts (Thirdness) as these refer to something outside the self.Traditionally the pursuit of philosophy was regarded as leading to wisdom through investigating man's nature and his relationship to the world. Today the call is for relevance, a view captured by John Dewey's insistence on how philosophy can be put to good use within a culture. As a student of Peirce, as well as an educational theorist and philosopher in his own right, Dewey's work has had an important bearing on landscape aesthetics. The author follows his example. He also relates the issues of the inquiry to those in ecological ethics, showing how arguments can be used to defend one's own piece of landscape threatened by developments.

Nonfiction. Philosophy. Personal Transformation. Inspiration. Spirituality. Self-Help. Yoga for the Mind is Slow Thought for a Fast Life. We are constituted to think and reflect, to query and question, to seek answers and not stop at the answers we find, pushing further and further on our quest for meaning and insight into the big and the small, into first things and last. In other words, we are philosophical creatures. How, then, can we achieve more satisfying, rich, creative, and fulfilled lives as creatures of thought and reflection, as fundamentally philosophical beings? This question lies at the heart of YOGA FOR THE MIND--an intensely fruitful and enriching philosophical supplement to the daily diet of existence.
