Words have determinable sense only within a complex of unstated
assumptions, and all interpretation must therefore go beyond the
given material. This book addresses what is man's place in the
Aristotelian world. It also describes man's abilities and prospects
in managing his life, and considers how far Aristotle's treatment
of time and history licenses the sort of dynamic interpretation of
his doctrines that have been given. The ontological model that
explains much of Aristotle's conclusions and methods is one of
life-worlds, in which the material universe of scientific myth is
no more than an abstraction from lived reality, not its
transcendent ground.
A BOLD NEW VISION FOR A NEW WORLD
Our way of life isn't working anymore. People are losing their
jobs, their homes, their neighborhoods--and even their hope for a
just society. We urgently need a new story to live by, based on
fairness--not simply on the accumulation of wealth and "survival of
the fittest."
"The Bond "offers a radical new blueprint for living a more
harmonious, prosperous, and connected life. International
bestselling author Lynne McTaggart demonstrates with hard science
that we are living contrary to our true nature.
In fact, life doesn't have to be "I win, you lose; "we have been
designed to succeed and prosper when we work as part of a greater
whole. "The Bond "proves that we are weak when we compete, and
thrive only when we cooperate and connect deeply with each other.
In this seminal book for our age, McTaggart also offers a complete
program of practical tools and exercises to help you enjoy closer
relationships--across even the deepest divides--encourage a more
connected workplace, rebuild a united neighborhood, and become a
powerful, global agent of change.

Edward Said is a major 20th-century thinker. His impact on the way
we think about identity and postcolonialism has been profound and
transformative. In this book of essays, scholars of postcolonial
studies, philosophy and literary criticism, informed by Said's
wide-ranging scholarship, engage with and extend his work. Robert
Young, author of "White Mythologies", focuses his essay on the
notion of hybridity and ethnicity in England. Benita Parry explores
how a very English story of imperialism is narrated in Conrad's
"Nostromo". Other contributors include Bryan Cheyette, Moira
Ferguson and Bruce Robbins. The collection also looks at the work
of Frantz Fanon and cultural difference in Africa. And following
Said's work and activism around the Palestinian question there are
also essays exploring the relationship betwen Jewish and Arabic
identity. Keith Ansell-Pearson is the author of "Nietzsche, Deleuze
and the Philosophy Machine". Benita Parry is the author of
"Delusions and Discoveries: Studies on India in the British
Imagination" and "Conrad and Imperialism". Judith Squires is the
joint editor of "Cultural Remix: Theories of Politics and the
Popular" and "Space and Place: Theories of Identity and Location".
