    2019 Reprint of 1962 Harper & Row Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. "What is the meaning of being?" This is the central question of Martin Heidegger's profoundly important work, in which the great philosopher seeks to explain the basic problems of existence. A central influence on later philosophy, literature, art, and criticism -- as well as existentialism and much of postmodern though. Reprint of the 1962 edition first published by Harper & Row.

    2018 Reprint of 1880 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. The full title of this work is: The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, Or, Moses' Magical Spirit-Art: Known as the Wonderful Arts of the Old Wise Hebrews, Taken from the Mosaic Books of the Cabala and the Talmud, For the Good Of Mankind. It is a magical text allegedly written by Moses and passed down as hidden (or lost) books of the Christian Old Testament. A grimoire, a text of magical incantations and seals, it purports to instruct the reader in the spells used to create the miracles portrayed in the Bible. While versions of The Sixth and Seventh Books were likely passed around German immigrant communities from the late 18th century, the 1849 Leipzig copy was followed by a New York printing, in German, in 1865, and an English translation in 1880. The growth of inexpensive paperback publication in the 19th century, like those of Chicago occult publisher L. W. de Laurence, helped the work gain popularity outside German communities. The boom in inexpensive publishing, and the interest in Spiritualism helped the work gain popularity in the African American population of the southern United States, and from there, the Anglophone parts of the Caribbean. There it became one of the founding works of the Rastafari movement of the early 20th century.

    2018 Reprint of 1962 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Reprint of the First Edition. John L. Austin was a British philosopher of language and leading proponent of ordinary language philosophy, perhaps best known for developing the theory of speech acts. Austin pointed out that we use language to do things as well as to assert things, and that the utterance of a statement like "I promise to do so-and-so" is best understood as doing something - making a promise - rather than making an assertion about anything. Hence the name of one of his best-known works How to Do Things with Words. Austin, in providing his theory of speech acts, makes a significant challenge to the philosophy of language, far beyond merely elucidating a class of morphological sentence forms that function to do what they name. Austin's work ultimately suggests that all speech and all utterance is the doing of something with words and signs, challenging a metaphysics of language that would posit denotative, propositional assertion as the essence of language and meaning.

    2018 Reprint of 1875 Second Edition. The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato's Cave, comprises Book VIII of Plato's Republic. It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter. Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality. Socrates explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners. The inmates of this place do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life. The prisoners manage to break their bonds one day and discover that their reality was not what they thought it was.

  • - The Cult of Souls and Belief in Immortality among the Greeks. Two Volumes in One
    af Erwin Rohde
    432,95 kr.

    2019 Reprint of 1925 Paul, Trench, Trubner Edition. Two Volumes Bound into one. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. "This book offers an account of the opinions held by the Greeks about the life of the human soul after death and is thus intended as a contribution to the history of Greek religion. Such an undertaking has in a special measure to contend with the difficulties that face any inquiry into the religious life and thought of the Greeks. Greek religion was a natural growth, not a special foundation, and the ideas and feelings which gave it its inward tone and outward shape never received abstract formulation. It expressed itself in religious performances alone: it had no sacred books from which we might determine the inward meaning and interconnexion of the ideas with which the Greeks approached the gods created by their faith."-From the introduction. Psyche remains a standard reference work for Greek cult practices and beliefs related to the soul. Translated from the eighth edition by W.B. Hillis.

  • af I. Lilias Trotter
    104,95 kr.

    2024 Reprint Illustrated in Full Color. This facsimile edition is reproduced from the first edition and is faithful in both the presentation of text and color plates. For purposes of presentation we have reformatted this title from a small oblong book to a standard size octavo. This has resulted in a reformatting of the pagination, while still maintaining the original pagination as two pages into one. I. Lilias Trotter's Parables of the Cross was first published by Marshall Brothers, London. While undated, the writing falls clearly within the window of summer/fall 1895 at a time when she was taking an extended break in England. Trotter's health, never robust, had been seriously compromised after seven years of unremitting labor in the testing climate of Algiers. The result was this devotional classic, born of her own spiritual struggles and tempered with her depth of life experience. It reflects Trotter's deep grounding in Scripture and is animated by her growing sensibility to God speaking through His natural world.

    2024 Reprint of the 1927 Edition. In this mystery, created from a reworked collection of short stories, Poirot enters the world of international espionage. The original stories were published in 1924 and it was in 1926 that Agatha Christie, in need of a new book, gathered them together with the help of her brother-in-law and submitted them to her publisher. Summary: An unexpected visitor called Mayerling comes in through Hercule Poirot's bedroom and collapses on the floor. The only clue to what he wants is his repeating Poirot's name and address and writing the number 4, many times. When Hastings jokingly calls it "The Mystery of the Big Four," the man begins speaking about an international crime cartel of that name. He describes the four leaders: Number 1 is a Chinese political mastermind named Li Chang Yen; Number 2 is probably American; Number 3 is a Frenchwoman; and Number 4 is known only as "the Destroyer." The man dies soon after Poirot and Hastings go off on the trail of the Big Four. It is up to Poirot to discover and expose this international plot aimed at world domination.

  • af Alfred North Whitehead
    122,95 kr.

    2024 Reprint of the 1926 Edition. Whitehead was a prominent English mathematician and philosopher who co-authored the highly influential Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell. Religion in the Making, which originated in a series of four lectures delivered in King's Chapel, Boston, during February 1926, constitutes an exploration of the relationship between human nature and religion. In many ways a rejection of dogma, the text explores the connection between religious transformation and the transformation of knowledge. Through this approach, the reader is encouraged to develop a conception of faith that is at home with the changing nature of experience. The permanent aspect of religion is regarded as the apprehension of permanent elements that are reconcilable with this form of change. This concise and fascinating study will be of value to anyone with an interest in philosophy and theology.

    2024 Reprint of the First Edition. ¿Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. According to Russell, the secret of getting what is wanted from Life is to find it within ourselves as an idea (let it form in us a consciousness of itself), and then to let it flow through us into the visible. The continued acknowledgment and realization of a thought as true, plus sustained attention to it, creates a mental equivalent, or affinity, for that thing. The mental equivalent held firmly in the conscious mind is then passed on to the subconscious mind, where it is acted upon by Divine Substance and produces a harvest exactly like itself.Thus, what we accept as true in the within becomes true in the without. "Out of the heart (subconscious mind) are the issues of life.""As a man thinketh in his heart (sub-conscious mind), so is he." Prayer is not a game of chance, as when one puts a nickel into a slot machine and gets two nickels or hits the jackpot. Prayer is providing a mental equivalent, or belief, through which God's attributes can be expressed.

    2024 Reprint of the 1946 Edition. ¿Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this volume Hall interprets Plato's account of Atlantis in his Critias and Timaeus. A diagram of the Orphic Key to the Atlantic Fable is included, as well as a bibliography. The most famous of all accounts describing the condition of Atlantis and the causes for its destruction are to be found in the Critias and Timaeus of Plato. Most modern books dealing with the problem of Atlantis are built upon Plato s description. The integrity and learning of this great philosopher cannot easily be assailed. Had it not been for the weight of Plato s authority, the whole subject would have been discredited by modern archeologists. There is, however, in fairness to both sides of the controversy, a certain weakness in Plato's story. The thoughtful reader is impressed immediately by the allegorical and symbolical parts of the account. While these do not detract from the possibility that an Atlantic continent actually existed, they do present the necessary elements for an alternative interpretation. The anti-Atlantists contend that in the Critias Plato takes a flight into fiction, in the words of Plutarch, "manuring the little seed of the Atlantis myth which Solon had discovered in the Egyptian temples.

    2024 Reprint of the 1958 Edition. ¿Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Hunter is widely acknowledged as having coined the term brainwashing in a 1950 article for Miami News. In this article and in later works, Hunter claimed that by combining Pavlovian theory with modern technology, Russian and Chinese psychologists had developed powerful techniques for manipulating the mind. As author Dominic Streatfeild recounts, Hunter conceived the term after interviewing former Chinese prisoners who had been subjected to a "re-education" process. He applied it to the interrogation techniques the KGB used during purges to extract confessions from innocent prisoners, and from there, variations were conceived - mind control, mind alteration, behavior modification, and others. In 1958 Hunter published Brainwashing: The Story of men who Defied it. In it he provides dramatic first-hand accounts from Korean War veterans who survived P.O.W. camps and Communist attempts to brainwash them. Historian Julia Lovell has criticized Hunter's reporting as "outlandish" and sensational. By 1956, US government psychologists largely concluded after examining files of Korean War POWs that brainwashing as described by Hunter did not exist, but the impact of his reporting was significant, and helped shaped public consciousness about the threat of Communism for decades. Lovell argues that Hunter created "an image of all-powerful Chinese 'brainwashing' ... [that] supposed an ideological unified Maoist front stretching from China to Korea and Malaya", but declassified US documents show a much more complicated and contested picture of Chinese influence and international aspirations in Asia.Nevertheless, the new terminology stuck and found its way into the mainstream in The Manchurian Candidate novel and the movie of the same name in 1962.Contents: A new word -- Ivan P.

  • af Edward Leedskalnin
    98,95 kr.

    2024 Reprint of Two Separate Publications Published in a Single Volume. ¿Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Collected Writings of Edward Leedskalnin is a compilation of two of Leedskalnin's works, A Book in Every Home and Magnetic Current. This eccentric sculptor and amateur scientist devoted most of his life to creating a large complex of megalithic stones that he quarried and carved himself.Leedskalnin purchased a modest plot in Florida and began removing and relocating enormous stones from his land, moving them into position, and carving them entirely on his own as far as we know. The pieces include sculptures and carved stone furniture, as well as a two-story tower that served as his living quarters. Due to the scale of the project, some have dubbed it "Florida's Stonehenge." While it's unclear how Leedskalnin was able to complete it, it is all the more impressive considering his small stature and questionable health.Leedskalnin also spent two years testing magnets and recording his findings. These experiments would form the basis of Magnetic Current, published in 1945. In the book, Leedskalnin argues that electricity and magnetism are not separate phenomena but are instead two aspects of the same fundamental force, which he calls "magnetic current." He also proposes a new model of atomic structure and suggests that the fundamental particles of matter are tiny magnets that are constantly in motion.Leedskalnin presents a variety of experiments throughout the book, many of which involve the manipulation of magnetic fields using simple items like various magnets, car batteries, light bulbs, and coils of wire. He believed that his discoveries could provide insights into the mysteries of the universe, including the relative positions of the celestial bodies. Both works demonstrate Leedskalnin's unique view of the world and his eccentric personality. Though certainly eccentric, the two works offer an intriguing glimpse into the mind of a self-taught philosopher and inventor who had a unique perspective on the world around him.
