Philosophy: The Great Thinkers showcases the major philosophers of the western tradition. Written with the general reader in mind, it provides an ideal introduction to their ideas and the effect those ideas have had on the wider world. Concise and informative, the text introduces the basic concepts behind each philosopher's work together with biographical and historical details. Both easy-to-use and a stimulating read, this book is an ideal reference for anybody interested in philosophy, and especially for those who want a clear, entertaining exposition of the ideas that shape the way we think.

This work presents terrible tales about horrible heroes, savage Spartan soldiers, foolish philosophers and suffering slaves. Terry Deary and Martin Brown's brilliant books about the nastiest periods in history have now - with the help of some astounding actors - been transformed into a series of audio extravaganzas. Featuring new, extra material not found anywhere in the books, these sound spectaculars are just as thrilling and spilling, funny and fast as their printed counterparts. "Horrible Histories" are guaranteed to bring you history with the nasty bits left in! "The Groovy Greeks" claim to have inspired the doctors of today. But if your teacher wants you to become a doctor, thank your lucky stars you weren't born in Ancient Greece, because they had to examine their patients' earwax, vomit, tears, and rotting flesh - by tasting them! So, the people of this time were not that civilised, unless, like the Spartans, you call deliberately teaching children to lie, steal, fight and kill civilized. Even the Greek gods were pretty ghastly. Know what Zeus's dad ate? Well, he ate his own...Sorry, there are limits, you know, except on a "Horrible Histories" audio! History has never been so horrible!

Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena, is a science pioneered by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972). For 14 years he conducted experiments animating inert powders, pastes, and liquids into life-like, flowing forms, which mirrored patterns found throughout nature, art and architecture. What's more, all of these patterns were created using simple sine wave vibrations (pure tones) within the audible range. So what you see is a physical representation of vibration, or how sound manifests into form through the medium of various materials.

Philosophy of Mathematics, 2009 Edition - 33MB

Product Description
One of the most striking features of mathematics is the fact that we are much more certain about the mathematical knowledge we have than about what mathematical knowledge is knowledge of. Are numbers, sets, functions and groups physical entities of some kind? Are they objectively existing objects in some non-physical, mathematical realm? Are they ideas that are present only in the mind? Or do mathematical truths not involve referents of any kind?

Description : This is the first title in the Key Themes in Ancient Philosophy series, which provides concise books, written by major scholars and accessible to non-specialists, on important themes in ancient philosophy which remain of philosophical interest today. In this book, Professor Gerson explores ancient accounts of the nature of knowledge and belief from the Presocratics up to the Platonists of late antiquity. He argues that ancient philosophers generally held a naturalistic view of knowledge as well as of belief. Hence, knowledge was not viewed as a stipulated or semantically determined type of belief but was rather a real or objectively determinable achievement. In fact, its attainment was identical with the highest possible cognitive achievement, namely wisdom. It was this naturalistic view of knowledge at which the ancient Skeptics took aim. The book concludes by comparing the ancient naturalistic epistemology with some contemporary versions.

This is one of those rare and unsettling examples of a rock film which has the all the immediacy of reportage from a distant war-zone. The terrain is Olympic Studios in London in June 1968, where the Rolling Stones, recovering from the critical mauling of At Their Satanic Majesty's Request, are at work on the tracks that would become Beggars' Banquet.

The film-maker was Jean-Luc Godard, at the height of his reputation as Europe's most daring director. Godard had briefly left Paris for London in the wake of the Paris riots of May '68 with the aim of making a film about art, power and revolution. The Stones, at their most dazzling and Luciferian, were, as Godard saw it, perfect for the role of agents of anarchy in a movie whose stated aim was to 'subvert, ruin and destroy all civilised values'.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States, is the name of five distinct video games. The first four versions were released in 2001 by Electronic Arts for the PC, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and the PlayStation. The PC version was released for the Mac by Aspyr in 2002. Another version, for Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, was released in 2003. Although very different games, they do have some common features, such as the Flipendo jinx, even though it is not found in the books or movies.

This profound, exhaustive, and well-written scholarly work is an excellent introduction to neuroscience from a philosopher's point of view. It traces the history of neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neuropsychology, then treats issues in the philosophy of science, such as the mind/body problem and non-dualistic reductionism.

It's as essential to human existence as water is to a fish, and yet every night we surrender it gratefully. As human beings, we recognize that we have it, but we can never be sure anyone else does. It has been the subject of debate for philosophers and scientists for millennia, but we've yet to pin down or even understand its true essence and purpose.

It's consciousness, and if you think you grasp the nuances of this unique mental state, then take a moment to consider ... the zombie.

Most of us are familiar with this wretched star of B-grade horror films: a once-human creature dead but not truly dead. In its state of suspended life, it performs many of the tasks we do every day. It can move, it can carry things, it finds its way around. In some movies, it even seems motivated by a purpose—the inexorable quest for living flesh.

Written in an innovative form and witty style, The Logic of Sense is an essay in literary and psychoanalytic theory as well as philosophy, and helps to illuminate such works as Anti-Oedipus. Considered one of the most important works of one of France's foremost philosophers, and long-awaited in English, The Logic of Sense begins with an extended exegesis of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Considering stoicism, language, games, sexuality, schizophrenia, and literature, Deleuze determines the status of meaning and meaninglessness, and seeks the 'place' where sense and nonsense collide.

An American professor, a beautiful French cryptographer, a respected British Royal and the true origins of Christianity are the essential characters in the best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. It has become a world-wide phenomenon, with over 40 million copies sold, based on its intriguing assertions.

But this 24 hour thrill ride through "pseudo-history" has also ignited a firestorm of questions about religion, sex, the Church, Renaissance art, and even the history of the Western World. Plus, the new Tom Hanks movie has created even more controversy.

So U.S. News & World Report has updated our fascinating in-depth report that answers many of the questions and controversies presented in the original book.

Leonardo da Vinci[/b] is generally recognized as one of the great geniuses of all time even in his own time he was known as the '[b]Divine Leonardo'.Vasari, his biographer, a painter in his own right and an astute observer of his contemporaries, made this observation: 'The gifts that Leonardo possessed seemed unlimited, extending to all areas of human knowledge and skill - artist, scientist, architect, musician, engineer, court entertainer, inventor and philosopher.'

Leonardo is generally considered to be the ultimate 'Renaissance man', a man capable of turning his mind to anything. We have his notebooks to prove it, and what we will do is to explore his words in order to come to a better understanding of the man, his achievement and his thinking.

It is surveys and analysis the evolution of "sin" from the perspective of rational choice economics. Economist Samuel Cameron considers the formation of religions as regulators of the quasi-market in sins and appraise the economic role of lying, envy, jealous, greed, lust, sloth, and waste in individual markets and in macroeconomic activity. An original, innovative, ground-breaking, interdisciplinary study, The Economics Of Sin is scholarly and very highly recommended reading for students of Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, Philosophy, and Religion.

An original, innovative, ground-breaking, interdisciplinary study, The Economics of Sin is scholarly and very highly recommended reading.

"The Economics of Sin" examines the definition and evolution of sin from the perspective of rational choice economics, yet is conscious of the limitations of such an approach. The author argues that because engaging in activities deemed to be sinful is an act of choice, it can therefore be subject to the logic of choice in the economic model. The book considers the formation of religions, including the new age revival of "wicca", as regulators of the quasi-market in sins, and goes on to the role of specific sins such as lying, envy, jealousy, greed, lust, sloth and waste in individual markets and in macroeconomic activity. Empirical evidence on issues such as cannibalism, capital punishment, addiction, adultery and prostitution is also explored. Samuel Cameron concludes that a large percentage of economic activity is intimately connected with forms of sin which are in some circumstances highly beneficial to the functioning of markets, particularly in the presence of market failure. This study of the institution of sin should be of great interest to a wide-ranging readership, including researchers and teachers of economics, sociology and theology. It should also be of importance to anthropologists and philosophers.

The phenomenon of action in which the mind moves the body has puzzled philosophers over the centuries. In this new edition of a classic work of analytical philosophy, Brian O'Shaughnessy investigates bodily action and attempts to resolve some of the main problems. His expanded and updated discussion examines the scope of the will and the conditions in which it makes contact with the body, and investigates the epistemology of the body.[cut] He sheds light upon the strangely intimate relation of awareness in which we stand to our own bodies, doing so partly through appeal to the concept of the body-image. The result is a new and strengthened emphasis on the vitally important function of the bodily will as a transparently intelligible bridge between mind and body, and the proposal of a dual aspect theory of the will.

The interdisciplinary topic of anticipation, attracting attention from computer scientists, psychologists, philosophers, neuroscientists, and biologists is a rather new and often misunderstood matter of research. This book attempts to establish anticipation as a research topic and encourage further research and development work.
First, the book presents philosophical thoughts and concepts to stimulate the reader's concern about the topic. Fundamental cognitive psychology experiments then confirm the existence of anticipatory behavior in animals and humans and outline a first framework of anticipatory learning and behavior. Next, several distinctions and frameworks of anticipatory processes are discussed, including first implementations of these concepts. Finally, several anticipatory systems and studies on anticipatory behavior are presented.
