Spacetime and Electromagnetism: An Essay on the Philosophy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hodgson, P. E. / Lucas, J. R., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, That space ong>anong>d time should be integrated into a single entity, spacetime, is the great insight of Einstein's special theory of relativity, ong>anong>d leads us to regard spacetime as a fundamental context in which to make sense of the world around us.

I Ching

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Huong>anong>g, Kerson / Huong>anong>g, Rosemary, PUBLISHER: Workmong>anong> Publishing, For three thousong>anong>d years, people have sought personal insight ong>anong>d a window on the future from the I Ching, or the Book of Chong>anong>ges, the classic Chinese oracle ong>anong>d book of wisdom. Drawing on archeological findings, previously published only in Chinese, indicating how the I Ching was actually used by those who created it, ong>anong>d motivated by a lifetime of personal use ong>anong>d fascination, Kerson Huong>anong>g has created a new trong>anong>slation of great significong>anong>ce. Restoring the I Ching to its original form, Huong>anong>g underscores its first use as a practical oracle by Chinese farmers. His trong>anong>slation beautifully preserves the starkly poetic voice of the original, while his comments clearly ong>anong>d simply explain the images ong>anong>d detail the historical references buried within the verse. Huong>anong>g reveals the I Ching as ong>anong> epic poem equivalent to "The Iliad" ong>anong>d "The Odyssey"--one hexagram recalls the dethroning of Feng Feng; a series of lines portray Wong>anong>g Hai, one of the three High ong>Anong>cestors of the Shong>anong>g dynasty; a third contains a sage proclamation of Lord Tong>anong>g. Each hexagram ong>anong>d its corresponding interpretation is presented on a two-page spread, making this version unusually easy to use ong>anong>d understong>anong>d. Introductory chapters detail the evolution of the I Ching, from the philosophical reinterpretations of Confucius to the modern musings of Carl Jung, ong>anong>d clearly explain both the coin method ong>anong>d yarrow-stalk method for consulting the oracle.

Hermeneutics Ancient and Modern

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bruns, Gerald L., PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, In this wide-rong>anong>ging meditation on the nature ong>anong>d purpose of hermeneutics, Gerald L. Bruns argues that hermeneutics is not merely a contemporary theory but ong>anong> extended family of questions about understong>anong>ding ong>anong>d interpretation that predate the beginning of writing. Bruns situates the basic questions of hermeneutics against a background of different cultural traditions ong>anong>d philosophical topics, discussing for example, the interpretation of oracles, the quarrel between philosophy ong>anong>d poetry, Rabbinical midrash, ong>anong>d the nature of Romong>anong>tic hermeneutics.

Take Back the Light: A Feminist Reclamation of Spirituality

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ruth, Shelia / Ruth, Sheila, PUBLISHER: Rowmong>anong> & Littlefield Publishers, Feminists have long argued that at the hong>anong>ds of patriarchal religious institutions, women have been brutalized, exploited, ong>anong>d mong>anong>ipulated. In this book, part philosophical ong>anong>alysis/part meditation, philosopher Sheila Ruth explores ong>anong> ong>anong>cient ong>anong>d profoundly different orientation to life, Pagong>anong>ism, to show the possibilities, the pleasures, ong>anong>d the power of connecting the self with the cosmic. Take Back the Light contains certain elements that make it unique: the blend of strategies-including philosophical ong>anong>alysis, poetry, autobiography, ong>anong>d mystical stories; ong>anong> avowedly feminist stong>anong>ce that is grounded in traditional philosophical training as well as women's experience ong>anong>d feminist scholarship; ong>anong>d most particularly, the intention to make clear to those feminists who are opposed to religion in principle that spirituality need not be inconsistent with positive, progressive social action.

The Incomplete Universe: Totality, Knowledge, and Truth

Grim examines a series of logical paradoxes ong>anong>d related formal results to reveal their implications for contemporary epistemology, metaphysics, ong>anong>d the philosophy of religion. He reaches the provocative conclusion that, if the universe is thought of in terms of its truths, it is essentially open ong>anong>d incomplete. "The Incomplete Universe" includes detailed work on the liar paradox ong>anong>d recent attempts at solution, Kaplong>anong> ong>anong>d Montague's paradox of the knower, the Godel theorems ong>anong>d related incompleteness phenomena, ong>anong>d new forms of Cong>anong>toriong>anong> argument.
