Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Logic and philosophy have many interfaces, some dating back to
Antiquity, some developed only recently. These two companion
volumes chart the variety and liveliness of modern logic at this
interface, opening windows to key topics for researchers in other
disciplines and other cultural traditions, including India and
China. The articles presented here were written by a wide spectrum
of international experts, showing the field also as a living
community of junior and senior scholars across different university
departments. Volume 1 illustrates the core areas of History,
Mathematical Foundations, Process and Computation, as well as
Information and Agency.

"One day a group of young people will escape the Sorcerers of
Teletsia and travel to a land in the far north to gain subtle inner
power which will enable them to free their fellow country people
from the evil that has held them in a stranglehold for so
long."Based on the timeless tales of India, this colourful and
evocative fantasy novel weaves a narrative that will entertain and
delight the reader whilst simultaneously touching on the essentials
of daily life; of the struggles each of us faces; and of the
journey to inner enlightenment. A fantasy indeed, yet firmly
encapsulated in reality.
Based on the author's first-hand experience as a UN Special
Rapporteur, this thought-provoking and original book examines the
values of Eastern civilisations and their contribution to the
development of the UN Human Rights agenda. Offering an
authoritative analysis of Hindu and Buddhist traditions, Surya P.
Subedi, KC, focuses on the norms underpinning these two seminal
Eastern philosophies to assess the extent to which the ancient
civilisations already have human rights values embedded in them.
Chapters explore the expression of values in the scriptures and
practices of these philosophies, assessing their influence on the
contemporary understanding of human rights. Rejecting the argument
based on ''Asian Values'' that is often used to undermine the
universality of human rights, the book argues that secularism,
personal liberty and universalism are at the heart of both Hindu
and Buddhist traditions. The unique perspective offered by Human
Rights in Eastern Civilisations will appeal to students, academics
and researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including human
rights, international law and relations, and religious studies.
Yogacara and Tathagatagarbha are often regarded as antagonistic
Indian Buddhist traditions. Paramartha (499-569) is traditionally
credited with amalgamating these philosophies by translating one of
the most influential Tathagatagarbha texts in East Asia, the
Awakening of Faith in Mahayana, and introducing Tathagatagarbha
notions into his translations of Yogacara texts. Engaging with the
digitalized Chinese Buddhist canon, Ching Keng draws on clues from
a long-lost Dunhuang fragment and considers its striking
similarities with Paramartha's corpus with respect to terminology,
style of phrasing, and doctrines. In this cutting-edge
interpretation of the concept of jiexing, Keng demystifies the
image of Paramartha and makes the case that the fragment holds the
key to recover his original teachings.
Innovative and easily implemented, One Degree Revolution is
acclaimed yoga educator and leadership coach Coby Kozlowski's
holistic program for personal transformation. Imagine sailing a
boat with a course set for a lifetime. If that route changes by
just one navigational degree, what would happen to the journey? How
far from the original trajectory would we be in one year? Five
years? Twenty years? Well, we would end up in a totally different
place. In much the same way, we can change the course of our life
by making a one degree shift. We don't have to change everything
about ourselves or our world to make a difference. Coby inspires
readers to dive into the insights, experiments, and inquiries of
living yoga: how can I best be with life? How can we make the most
aligned choices, let go of past hurts, and discover meaningful
connections? And what are the most skillful ways we can learn to
savor all that life presents? One Degree Revolution will guide
readers to: -access infinite personal possibilities -celebrate
their authentic selves and start listening to their calling -learn
to let go and trust the unfolding of life -challenge long-held
beliefs and foster transformational change, and -develop their
community One degree at a time.
