The Dragons of Expectation: Reality and Delusion in Course

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Conquest, Robert, PUBLISHER: W. W. Norton & Company, The publication of "The Dragons of Expectation" in reaffirmed Robert Conquest's stature as a leading intellectual and one of the world's great humanists. In the tradition of Isaiah Berlin's "The Crooked Timber of Humanity" and George Orwell's "Essays," this book brilliantly traces how seductive ideas have come to corrupt modern minds; to often disastrous effects. In what "Publishers Weekly" called "a frontal assault on the pieties of the left," Conquest masterfully examines how false nostrums have infected academia, politicians, and the public, showing how their reliance on "isms" and the destructive concepts of "People, Nation, and Masses" have resulted in a ruinous cycle of turbulence and war. Including fresh analyses of Russia's October Revolution, World War II, and the Cold War, "The Dragons of Expectation" is one of the most important contributions to modern thought in recent years.

The Egyptian Philosophers: Ancient African Voices from

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Asante, Molefi Kente / Kete Asante, Molefi, PUBLISHER: African American Images, Traditional Eurocentric thought assumes that Greece was the origin of civilization. This book dispels this and other myths by showing that there is a body of knowledge that preceded Greek philosophy. The author documents how the great pyramids were built in B.C., years before Greek civilization. The popular myth of Hippocrates being the father of medicine is dispelled by the fact that Hippocrates studied the works of Imhotep, the true father of medicine, and mentioned his name in his Hippocratic oath. Eleven famous African scholars who preceded Greek philosophers are profiled: Ptahhotep, Kagemni, Duauf, Amenhotep, Amenemope, Imhotep, Amenemhat, Merikare, Sehotepibre, Khunanup, and Akhenaten. These scholar's ideas on a variety of topics are discussed, including the emergence of science and reason, the moral order, books and education, and the clash of classes.

The Incomplete Universe: Totality, Knowledge, and Truth

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grim, Patrick, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The central claim of this powerful philosophical exploration is that within any logic we have, there can be no coherent notion of all truth or of total knowledge. Grim examines a series of logical paradoxes and related formal results to reveal their implications for contemporary epistemology, metaphysics, and 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 and incomplete. "The Incomplete Universe" includes detailed work on the liar paradox and recent attempts at solution, Kaplan and Montague's paradox of the knower, the Godel theorems and related incompleteness phenomena, and new forms of Cantorian argument. The emphasis throughout is philosophical rather than formal, with an eye to connection's with possible worlds, the notion of omniscience, and the opening lines of the Tractatus: "The world is all that is the case. "

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Woodcock, George, PUBLISHER: Fitzhenry & Whiteside, In this fascinating and scholarly overview, George Woodcock, author and poet, allows us to experience the beauty, the savagery and the all-encompassing impact of The Marvellous Century. It was an era of personalities and uprisings. It was the time of Xenophanes, Cyrus, Solon the lawmaker, Sappho, the Buddha, Aeschylus, Pythagoras, Confucius, Lao-tzu and Nebuchadnezzar. It was an era of prose reawakenings, the exploration of rational thought, the central Asian silk trade, and the writing of the Upanishads. For the Chinese, it was the period of Spring and Autumn under the Chou Kingdom. Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism and Modern Judaism had their roots in the sixth century. The Greek philosopher, Thales, studied astronomy and geometry - passing on knowledge picked up from the Egyptians - and it was Thales who first postulated the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle to be equal. In India, atomic theories emerged, and geography, geology and physics all developed as disciplines.
