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.

For the past thirty years, Howard Caygill has been a distinctive and radical voice in continental philosophy. For the first time, this volume gathers together Caygill's most significant philosophical essays, the majority of which are not freely available and many of which are previously unpublished. Here, a major philosopher is at work, offering rich, rigorous and politically-engaged readings of canonical and lesser-known figures and texts. From Kant and Frantz Fanon to Herman Kahn, founder of the Hudson Institute, Caygill uncovers the untapped resources that the history of philosophy provides for contemporary thought, whilst critically pushing beyond the limits of the tradition. Divided into two parts, the first part of the collection reveals the philosophical backdrop to Caygill's acclaimed study of political resistance, On Resistance: A Philosophy of Defiance (2015), whilst the second part sees Caygill further develop his account of resistance through wide-ranging analyses of contemporary culture. Exploring numerous subjects, including Nietzsche, metaphysics, radical politics, and digital resistance, to name but a few, Force and Understanding introduces readers to the orienting themes of Caygill's thought and provides the opportunity to engage with one of the most astute, learned, and critical philosophical minds around.

This book is a textbook for a semester-long or year-long introductory course in abstract algebra at the upper undergraduate or beginning graduate level.It treats set theory, group theory, ring and ideal theory, and field theory (including Galois theory), and culminates with a treatment of Dedekind rings, including rings of algebraic integers.In addition to treating standard topics, it contains material not often dealt with in books at this level. It provides a fresh perspective on the subjects it covers, with, in particular, distinctive treatments of factorization theory in integral domains and of Galois theory.As an introduction, it presupposes no prior knowledge of abstract algebra, but provides a well-motivated, clear, and rigorous treatment of the subject, illustrated by many examples. Written with an eye toward number theory, it contains numerous applications to number theory (including proofs of Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares and of the Law of Quadratic Reciprocity) and serves as an excellent basis for further study in algebra in general and number theory in particular.Each of its chapters concludes with a variety of exercises ranging from the straightforward to the challenging in order to reinforce students' knowledge of the subject. Some of these are particular examples that illustrate the theory while others are general results that develop the theory further.

In The Heart and Soul of the Therapist, Dr. Stephen Howard explores the powerful and intimate relationship of the therapist and client, showing how attention to this interaction can guide therapeutic work. It is the therapist-client relationship that provides the opportunity and context for change. Whatever the modality of treatment, it is the therapist's use of himself or herself within the relationship that makes the conditions for healing possible. The use of the therapist's self is explored here in language that is clear and engaging.

Kant's final drafts, known as his Opus postumum, revolve around the attempt to make a 'transition from the metaphysical foundations of natural science to physics.' Interpreters broadly agree that in this project Kant seeks to connect the general a priori principles of natural science, as set out in the major critical works, to the specific results of empirical physics. Beyond this, however, basic interpretative issues remain controversial. This Element outlines a framework that aims to combine the systematic ambition of early twentieth-century readings with the rigour of more recent studies. The author argues that the issue of the 'gap' that has animated much recent scholarship can be profitably set aside. In its place, they advocate renewed attention to what they claim is a crucial part of the manuscript, fascicles X/XI, and to the problematic 'arrival point' of the transition, namely Kant's question: what is physics?

Born into a broken home, Darien started life on the wrong foot. Luckily, he finds his spirit guide in Sundeep?a friend, protector, and teacher who has been with Darien since before his birth. Darien struggles with an inner war that plunges him into addiction as he eventually approaches a point of no return. Desperate for healing, he makes a confession. Darien confronts his boss and admits to his alcoholism. Despite his hesitation in getting better, he is determined to fix his broken life. This is a journey into recovery as Darien strives to live without doubt. He slowly opens up to spiritual truths and a renewed awareness of Sundeep, who guides him to new understandings. In order to be free of addiction, Darien must face buried fears and defy his need for alcohol and drugs to mask those fears. Slowly, he discovers the healing wonders of shedding light on darkness. He transforms as he aligns his life with his true identity and fulfills his soul's purpose, even beyond this earthly realm.

Take this continued journey with Darien, an eighteen-year old, as he breaks away from the restrictions of family and steps onto a path shaped by his past, one that leads him down into very dark places as he struggles to both hide from himself and find himself. Follow him through his early adult years as a private, inner war plunges him into addiction. Witness the living of a life directed by the outside world, a life seemingly rescued from it for brief moments by a spirit guide named Sundeep - a friend, protector, and teacher who has been with Darien since before he was born. Experience, firsthand, Darien's decent as he approaches a point of no return. "Steven Howard shares a powerful odyssey of the universal struggle to awaken to the Spirit within." -Gary Simmons, Th.D.
