The Dictionary of Dreams provides the necessary tools to interpret
almost every dream object and its hidden meaning to better
understand what your subconscious is telling you. Now in a
pocket-size edition for easy, on-the-go instruction. Dreams can be
fun and adventurous, but also frightening and distorted, and still
again, they can be an endless combination of both. From spitting
teeth out (a sign of aging), to creepy, crawly spiders (a sign that
one feels like an outsider), dreams can mean much more to us once
we learn how to decipher their hidden meanings. Whether positive or
negative, The Dictionary of Dreams gives you all the tools,
symbols, and their true meanings to translate our cryptic nightly
images. Starting with selections from classic texts like
Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud, the father of
psychoanalysis, and 10,000 Dreams Interpreted by Gustavus Hindman
Miller, one of the first authors to complete a thorough study of
all the symbols that appear in our dreamscape, this updated edition
features revisions (such as the addition of cell phones, computers,
televisions, and more) of Miller's original interpretations to
bring the book up to speed with our modern life.

A major new translation of one of the an important philosophical
work of the twentieth century, presenting Bergson's masterwork to a
new generation of readers This new translation improves enormously
on the quality of the previous translation, the only one available
since 1911 Includes a host of additional new features, many
translated for the first time including a comprehensive table of
contents; a translation glossary; letters and reviews by William
James, Georges Canguilhelm and Gilles Deleuze; full scholarly notes
to each chapter Responses by Bergson to many of these, and many of
which have been translated for the first time. Translated by Donald
Landes, whose translation of Phenomenology of Perception (Routledge
2011, 2013) has already achieved classic status.
"Since the end of the last century," Walter Benjamin wrote,
"philosophy has made a series of attempts to lay hold of the 'true'
experience as opposed to the kind that manifests itself in the
standardized, denatured life of the civilized masses. It is
customary to classify these efforts under the heading of a
philosophy of life. Towering above this literature is Henri
Bergson's early monumental work, Matter and Memory."Along with
Husserl's Ideas and Heidegger's Being and Time, Bergson's work
represents one of the great twentieth-century investigations into
perception and memory, movement and time, matter and mind. Arguably
Bergson's most significant book, Matter and Memory is essential to
an understanding of his philosophy and its legacy.This new edition
includes an annotated bibliography prepared by Bruno Paradis.
"With its signal distinction between 'intuition' and 'analysis' and
its exploration of the different levels of Duration (Bergson's term
for Heraclitean flux), An Introduction to Metaphysics has had a
significant impact on subsequent twentieth century thought. The
arts, from post-impressionist painting to the stream of
consciousness novel, and philosophies as diverse as pragmatism,
process philosophy, and existentialism bear its imprint. Consigned
for a while to the margins of philosophy, Bergson's thought is
making its way back to the mainstream. The reissue of this
important work comes at an opportune time, and will be welcomed by
teachers and scholars alike." --Peter A. Y. Gunter, University of
North Texas
A monumental work by an important philosopher, "Matter and Memory"
represents one of the great inquiries into perception and memory,
movement and time, matter and mind. Henri Bergson surveys these
independent but related spheres, exploring the connection of mind
and body to individual freedom of choice. Essential to an
understanding of Bergson's philosophy and its legacy, this volume
appears on the Malaspina Great Books Core Reading List.
Bloechl (philosophy, Catholic U. of Leuven, Belgium) provides an
introduction to this collection of 12 essays, all of which are
published here for the first time in English (some have appeared
previously in other languages or have been delivered as lectures).
Arrangement is in sections on relations with others, and the
question of God. A sampling of topics: the alterity of the stranger
and the experience of the alien (Robert Bernasconi), Levinas from
phenomenology to the immemorial (Michael Newman), and Levinas's God
and Freud's trauma (Rudi Visker). The volume is not indexed.
The Nobel Laureate discusses not only how and why he became a
philosopher but also his conception of philosophy as a field
distinct from science and literature. A source of inspiration for
physicists as well as philosophers, Bergson's essays declare the
emphasis of intuition over intellect.
