 Antiquity and the Meanings of Time: A Philosophy of Ancient and Modern Literature (New Directions in Classics) by Duncan F. Kennedy 2013 | ISBN: 1845118154, 1845118162 | English | 288 pages | PDF | 1 MB Society and contemporary culture seem forever fascinated by the topic of time. In modern fiction, Ian McEwan (The Child in Time) and Martin Amis (Time's Arrow) have led the way in exploring the human condition in relation to past, present and future. In cinema, several cultural texts (Memento, Minority Report, The Hours) have similarly reflected a preoccupation with temporality and human experience. And in the sphere of politics, debates about the 'end of history', prompted by Francis Fukuyama, indicate that how we live is deeply determined by our relationship not only to place but also to the passing of time. But what did the ancients think about time? Is our interest in chronology a relatively recent phenomenon? Or does it go further back? In his major new work, Duncan Kennedy indicates that our own fascination with time-reckoning is by no means unique. Discussing a number of key texts (such as Homer's Odyssey; Sophocles' Oedipus Rex; Virgil's Aeneid; and Ovid's Metamophoses) and imaginatively setting these side-by-side with modern works (such as Sterne's Tristram Shandy and Joyce's Ulysses), he shows that, from era to era, and in different ways, human beings have uniformly striven to understand the unfolding of history and their relationship to it. This sophisticated cross-disciplinary book will appeal not only to classicists, but also to scholars and students in the humanities more broadly, as well as beyond.

Along the Borderlines: A Memoir by Caroline Kraus 2020 | ISBN: 1734957905 | English | 338 pages | EPUB | 0.9 MB In this poignant exploration of friendship, love and independence, Caroline Kraus revisits a transformative period during her early twenties. Alternating between St. Louis and San Francisco, past and present, we meet Caroline at the precipice of adulthood, struggling to overcome the loss of her mother to cancer. As a consuming new friendship takes hold of her heart, Kraus navigates her first job, a house full of roommates, and her own rapid unraveling. Told with wry humor and insight, the author's journey offers a portal into universal territories of heart and mind, across the fissures and fault lines of attachment, grief and self-discovery.
 Alejandro Lerroux and the Failure of Spanish Republican Democracy: A Political Biography (1864-1949) (Sussex Studies in Spanish History) by Roberto Villa Garcia 2020 | ISBN: 1789760488, 1789760534 | English | 264 pages | EPUB | 4 MB Alejandro Lerroux (1864-1949) was one of the most polemical figures of early twentieth century Spanish politics. As leader of the Radical Republican Party and six-time prime minister between 1933 and 1935, his admirers saw him as a patriot determined to create a Republic for all citizens, while his critics denounced him as an opportunistic demagogue willing to sacrifice the Republic to its enemies. This book is the first scholarly biography in any language of this titan of modern Spanish politics. Utilising neglected primary material, Villa Garcia argues that Lerroux embodies the transition from the elitist liberal politics of the nineteenth century to the modern mass politics of the twentieth. Like the Second Republic itself, Lerroux's political career ended in failure. The work is a timely reminder to students of modern Spain that the demise of Republican democracy was not inevitable. Nevertheless, after the abrupt end to Lerroux's effort to sustain a broadly based moderate and democratic government, Spain would never again achieve stable and constitutional rule until 1977. The political defeat of Lerroux was a major turning point in the country's history, a fateful step in the failure of democracy and the coming of civil war.  Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Science by Daniel A. Wilkenfeld, Richard Samuels 2019 | ISBN: 1350068861 | English | 264 pages | PDF | 15 MB This volume gathers together leading philosophers of science and cognitive scientists from around the world to provide one of the first book-length studies of this important and emerging field. Specific topics considered include learning and the nature of scientific knowledge, the cognitive consequences of exposure to explanations, climate change, and mechanistic reasoning and abstraction. Chapters explore how experimental methods can be applied to questions about the nature of science and show how to fruitfully theorize about the nature and role of science with well-grounded empirical research.  Absolute C++, Global Edition 6th Edition by Walter Savitch English | 2016 | ISBN: 1292098597 | 1004 Pages | PDF True | 7 MB  Aberrant Nuptials: Deleuze and Artistic Research 2 by Paulo de Assis, Paolo Giudici 2019 | ISBN: 9462702020, 9461663056 | English | 488 pages | PDF | 56 MB Aberrant Nuptials explores the diversity and richness of the interactions between artistic research and Deleuze studies. "Aberrant nuptials" is the expression Gilles Deleuze uses to refer to productive encounters between systems characterised by fundamental difference. More than imitation, representation, or reproduction, these encounters foster creative flows of energy, generating new material configurations and intensive experiences. Within different understandings of artistic research, the contributors to this book―architects, composers, film-makers, painters, performers, philosophers, sculptors, and writers―map current practices at the intersection between music, art, and philosophy, contributing to an expansion of horizons and methodologies. Written by musicians and artists who have been reflecting Deleuzian and Post-Deleuzian discourses in their artworks, and by established Deleuze scholars who have been working on interferences between art and philosophy, this volume reflects the current relevance of artistic research and Deleuze studies for the arts. |
