 Free Download Bernard Shaw, Paul Ricoeur, and the Jesusian Dialectics of Redemptive Living by Howard Ira Einsohn English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031449223 | 221 Pages | True PDF | 3.7 MB  Free Download Howard Ira Einsohn, "Bernard Shaw, Paul Ricoeur, and the Jesusian Dialectics of Redemptive Living " English | ISBN: 3031449223 | 2024 | 228 pages | EPUB | 417 KB This book explores a heretofore unremarked linkage between Bernard Shaw, the twentieth-century French thinker Paul Ricoeur, and Jesus of Nazareth. The ties that bind them are a foundational interest in the social teachings of the Nazarene and their use of a shared dialectics with respect to living the kind of compassionate life that holds out the promise in our contemporary world of achieving something approximating universal wellness on a healthy planet at peace with itself. This work argues that the three principal subjects of the study―independently of one another―used the same dialectical method to reach the same dialectically derived conclusion about how humans can live redemptively in a fractured world.  Free Download Bernard Shaw, Automata, Robots, and Artificial Intelligence English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031492250 | 209 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 15 MB This project is the first to explore how Bernard Shaw intersects constructively with automata, robots and artificial intelligence (AI). Shaw was born in the golden age of the automaton. His Bible on the Life Force and Creative Evolution, Back to Methuselah, was written when Karel and Josef Čapek coined the word "robot." Shaw's life ran in parallel with the rise of AI, and the big names in AI were his contemporaries. Moreover, empirical analyses of Shavian texts and images using AI uncovers possibilities for new interpretations, demonstrating how future renditions of his works may make use of these advanced technologies to broaden Shaw's audience, readership and scholarship.  Free Download Jean-Luc Nancy, "On Bernard Stiegler: Philosopher of Friendship" English | ISBN: 1350329037 | 2024 | 168 pages | PDF | 6 MB "What I love, and those whom I love, you, that is to say us in so far as we are capable of forming a we, all this I love, and I love them, and I love you infinitely" (Bernard Steigler April 1952- August 2020).  Free Download Bart Buseyne, "Bernard Stiegler: Memories of the Future" English | ISBN: 1350410446 | 2024 | 264 pages | EPUB, PDF | 15 MB + 5 MB Honouring the memory of the late Bernard Stiegler, this edited collection presents a broad spectrum of contributions that provide a complex and coherently articulated image of Bernard Stiegler's thought which reached beyond the boundaries of academic, artistic and experimental techno-scientific enclaves where he had been originally received.  Free Download Bernard Shaw: Reimagining Women and Ireland, 1892-1914 English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031325885 | 247 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB Shaw emerged as a playwright in the politically charged environment of 1892, for both female suffrage and Irish independence. His plays quickly advocated for societal changes with regard to women's roles, while expanding this advocacy into considerations of Ireland. Shaw's engagement with marriage and union as a personal contract with nationhood have never before been considered as a methodology with which to view his work. This book demonstrates that Shaw was deeply engaged with and committed to the Irish question and to social and gender issues.  Free Download Bernard Mandeville: A Treatise of the Hypochondriack and Hysterick Diseases (1730) by Sylvie Kleiman-Lafon English | PDF (True) | 2017 | 242 Pages | ISBN : 3319577794 | 2.3 MB This work reflects on hypochondria as well as on the global functioning of the human mind and on the place of the patient/physician relationship in the wider organisation of society. First published in 1711, revised and enlarged in 1730, and now edited and published with a critical apparatus for the first time, this is a major work in the history of medical literature as well as a complex literary creation. Composed of three dialogues between a physician and two of his patients, Mandeville's Treatise mirrors the digressive structure of a talking cure. Thanks to the soothing and enlightening effects of this casual conversation, the physician Mandeville demonstrates the healing power of words for a class of patients that he presents as men of learning who need above all to be addressed in their own language.  Bernard Bolzano: A New Evaluation of His Thought and His Circle by Kamila Veverková 2022 | ISBN: 1793653054 | English | 170 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book introduces the ethical, philosophical, and social legacy of the work of Bernard Bolzano (1781-1848), highlighting the theological element of Bolzano's thought. Bolzano influenced several key thinkers (primarily Catholic priests) such as Vincenc Zahradník, Josef Michael Fesl, Anton Krombholz, František Schneider, and their pupils and successors. Zahradník co-founded an important professional Czech periodical and created much of modern Czech theological terminology. Anton Krombholz became an important representative of Austrian education after 1848, working at the Vienna Ministry of Education. Based on her previous comprehensive Czech monograph, the author now highlights other new manuscripts from Krombholz's literary legacy. She underscores connections between Bolzano's legacy and the reform movement of the Czech Catholic clergy, emphasizing that Bolzano's ideas resonated in Czech Catholic modernism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Notwithstanding the tumultuous national development of Czechs and Germans in nineteenth-century Bohemia, Bolzano's conception of a peaceful coexistence between the two nationalities in Bohemia very favorably contributed to the preservation of the unity of the Catholic Church during such ethnically complex times. The author's theological conception draws upon the works of Jan Milíč Lochman (1922-2004), who, in addition to writing on contemporary ecumenical themes, also dealt with the spiritual legacy of the Czech National Revival.  Brad Kent, "George Bernard Shaw in Context " English | ISBN: 1107047455 | 2015 | 418 pages | PDF | 24 MB When George Bernard Shaw died in 1950, the world lost one of its most well-known authors, a revolutionary who was as renowned for his personality as he was for his humour, humanity, and rebellious thinking. He remains a compelling figure who deserves attention not only for how influential he was in his time, but for how relevant he is to ours. This collection sets Shaw's life and achievements in context, with forty-two scholarly essays devoted to subjects that interested him and defined his work. Contributors explore a wide range of themes, moving from factors that were formative in Shaw's life, to the artistic work that made him most famous and the institutions with which he worked, to the political and social issues that consumed much of his attention, and, finally, to his influence and reception. Presenting fresh material and arguments, this collection will point to new directions of research for future scholars.
