Stephen Phillips (1864-1915) was a popular poet and dramatist. This
volume includes his plays Alymer's Secret, Ulysses, The Sin of
David, Nero, Faust and Pietro of Siena.
In this book Stephen Phillips focuses on one of the most important
poems about meditation in world literature, as understood by two of
the greatest philosophers of India, one classical, one modern.
Sankara’s commentaries on the Upanisads are a core of the Vedanta
tradition and Aurobindo is a towering figure of 20th Hindu thought.
This is the first time their approaches have been studied together.
The Isa (c. 500 BCE) an “Upanisad” belongs to a genre of
“adhyatmika” learning—concerning self and consciousness—in
early Indian literature. According to the Ancient Indian tradition
of yoga, meditation is antithetical to willful bodily and mental
action. Breathing is all you do. In the conception of the Isa
Upanisad, we are told that the best that comes from meditation is
because of what the “Lord” is. In Sankara's interpretation it
comes to block out the little “you,” whereas according to
Aurobindo it comes as a divine connection, an occult “Conscious
Force” belonging to truer part of oneself, atman, and an
“opening” to that self’s native energy. Framed around
Aurobindo’s translation of each of the Isa’s eighteen verses,
along with a translation of each verse, Phillips follows a
different reading of Sankara as laid out in his commentary. All
this is done against the backdrop of modern scholarship.
Convergences and divergences of these streams are the focus
throughout. Appendix A presents the Upanisad with the two readings
side by side. This book traces a worldview and consonant yoga
teaching common to two authors who are typically taken to be oceans
apart, not only chronologically but in intellectual stance.
Addressing a huge gap in the contemporary literature on meditation
in the Hindu traditions, Phillips presents a compelling new way of
thinking about meditation in the Advaita Vedanta philosophy and
Upanisad.
Jewel of Reflection on the Truth about Epistemology is here
translated and explained in an invaluable contribution to the
history of knowledge, making available in English the very best
within the traditions of philosophical speculation and argument in
India and Sanskrit over more than twenty centuries. The "Jewel"
distills the best arguments and most important positions of the
past and provides the dominant focus for later philosophic
reflection. The achievement of a great 14th-century logician,
Gangesa Upadhyaya ("Professor Gangesa"), the Tattva-cinta-mani is a
masterpiece of world philosophy, impacting in classical India not
only philosophy but also literary criticism, jurisprudence, and
medical theory for centuries. Among scholars, it is commonly
counted-with perhaps one or two Buddhist treatises and one or two
in Vedanta-among the top four or five philosophic works in the
whole long history of classical Indian civilization (from 500 bce
to the modern period). This three-volume edition of the work marks
the first time time it has been translated into English in its
entirety. Becoming the focal point of the long-running Nyaya school
and canonized in Sanskrit literature, it is famed, across many
schools of philosophy, for cogency of argument and consistency of
analysis. Focused on four "knowledge sources" recognized in Nyaya,
the text covers the epistemology of perception, inference, analogy
and testimony in four chapters. In this landmark translation,
Stephen Phillips provides an English-speaking audience all four
parts with readable translations and running commentary. He
contextualizes, analyzes and translates the text into
understandable prose targeting especially those working in analytic
philosophy but also anyone unfamiliar with Nyaya who may want to
see and make use of its findings now accessible as never before.
"A powerfully informative guide for patient and practitioner from a
misinformed past toward a future of recovery and health." -David
Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Grain
Brain and Brain Wash In this important and timely book, Steven
Phillips, MD, and his former patient, Sony singer-songwriter Dana
Parish, reveal striking evidence that a range of common infections,
from COVID-19 to Lyme, cause a variety of autoimmune, psychiatric,
and chronic conditions. Chronic explores the science behind what
makes them difficult to diagnose and treat, debunks widely held
beliefs, and provides solutions that empower sufferers to reclaim
their lives. After nearly dying from his own mystery illness, Dr.
Phillips experienced firsthand the medical community's ignorance
about the pathogens that underlie a deep spectrum of serious
conditions-from fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue
syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, to depression, anxiety,
OCD and neurodegenerative disorders. Parish, too, watched her
health spiral after twelve top doctors missed the underlying
infections that caused heart failure and other sudden debilitating
symptoms. Now, they've come together with a mission: to change the
current model of simply treating symptoms and shift the focus to
finding and curing root causes of chronic diseases that affect
millions around the world.
This handbook brings together a distinguished team of scholars from
philosophy, theology, and religious studies to provide the first
in-depth discussion of Vedanta and the many different systems of
thought that make up this tradition of Indian philosophy.
Emphasizing the historical development of Vedantic thought, it
includes chapters on numerous classical Vedantic philosophies as
well as the modern Vedantic views of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri
Aurobindo, and Romain Rolland. The volume offers careful
hermeneutic analyses of how Vedantic texts have been interpreted,
and it addresses key issues and debates in Vedanta, including
religious diversity, the nature of God, and the possibility of
embodied liberation. Venturing into cross-philosophical and
cross-cultural territory, it also brings Vedanta into dialogue with
Saiva Nondualism as well as contemporary Western analytic
philosophy. Highlighting current scholarly controversies and
charting new paths of inquiry, this is an indispensable research
guide for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of
Vedanta and Indian philosophy.

Often translated simply as "logic," the Sanskrit word nyAEya means
"rule of reasoning" or "method of reasoning." Texts from the school
of classical Indian philosophy that bears this name are concerned
with cognition, reasoning, and the norms that govern rational
debate. This translation of selections from the early school of
NyAEya focuses on its foundational text, the NyAEya-sA"tra (c. 200
CE), with excerpts from the early commentaries. It will be welcomed
by specialists and non-specialists alike seeking an accessible text
that both represents some of the best of Indian philosophical
thought and can be integrated into courses on Indian philosophy,
religion, and intellectual culture.
A missing Iraqi scientist, an ex-Secret Service agent, and the
threat of another biological terrorist attack-all these elements
come together in the gripping true story of the Gray Bird of
Baghdad. Iraqi Microbiologist Thamer Abdul Rahman Imran has
information vital to stopping the unthinkable: a biological attack
on the US. When he learns that the new Iraqi government wants to
arrest him and the insurgents want to kill him, he goes into
hiding. Racing against time, ex-Secret Service agent Steve Monteiro
and his team set out on a mission to find the missing scientist and
learn what he knows. The journey takes them from the White House to
the Middle East as they fight bureaucrats in Washington who want
them to fail. Why? And what is this vital information that Thamer
possesses? The Gray Bird of Baghdad tells the true story of one's
man's quest to protect his country and another man's fight to save
his family from the ravages of a country at war.

The work of three present-day Sankritist-philosophers, God and the
World's Arrangement allows readers to engage directly with writings
of the classical Indian philosophers Sankara and Vacaspati, as well
as some of their most acute critics, on the question of whether the
existence of a creator God can be known by reason alone. Carefully
selected and annotated with the needs of students foremost in mind,
these new translations will be of interest to anyone wishing to see
up close a newly set gem of our philosophical inheritance from
global antiquity.

The first publication to catalog the complete works of architect
and arts advocate Alfred Preis, a Viennese modernist who fled
Nazi-occupied Austria and transformed regional Hawaiian
architecture, with his best-known project being the USS Arizona
Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Architect, planner, and arts advocate
Alfred Preis (1911-1994) dedicated his many creative talents to his
beloved, adopted home, Hawai'i. Born to a Jewish family, raised,
and educated in Vienna, Preis became an exile after escaping from
Nazi-occupied Austria in 1939 and briefly being interned as an
"enemy alien" when the United States entered World War II. Preis
emerged as one of Hawai'i's leading modern architects in the 1950s
and 1960s. His celebrated architectural career spanned twenty-three
years. In this time, he designed almost one hundred and eighty
completed projects ranging from residences, schools, commercial
buildings, and public parks. His new, regionalist vision for
architecture and planning were specific to the Hawaiian context,
its people, its tropical climate, and its stunning landscape.
Preis's crowning achievement was his design for the famed USS
Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor in 1962. This is the first
publication to examine Alfred Preis's body of work in architecture,
which spans from 1939 to 1963, including not only several acclaimed
public projects but also illustrating the transition from a
European modern language into a regional modernism, unifying both
cultures in distinct and pioneering ways. In later years through
his legislative work, Alfred Preis became a visionary advocate and
leader for the public arts, creating the first 1% law in the United
States, which stipulated that 1% of all public building
construction be used for the purchase of public art.
