The Paths of Creation: Creativity in Science and Art (Natur, Wissenschaft und die Künste / Nature, Science and the Arts / Nature, Science et les Arts) By Alfredo Marcos; Alfredo Marcos (editor) 2011 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 3034305117 | PDF | 4 MB The Paths of Creationexplores the idea of creativity both in science and in art. The editors have collected papers from different philosophers working on philosophy of science and aesthetics to show that the creative processes of science and art share identical procedures: metaphor, ruled method, analogy, abduction, similarity. They are both surrounded by emotions, contain inspirations, proceed through revolutions that maintain some kind of continuity, and have a long common history in which no one worried about whether something was science or art. The purpose of this volume is to show that there are no different rationalities applied to science and art, but the same human reason developing in different forms to create not just different disciplines, but different worlds as well.

Slavoj Žižek, Professor Eric L. Santner, Kenneth Reinhard, "The Neighbor: Three Inquiries in Political Theology, with a new Preface, 2nd Edition" English | 2013 | ISBN: 022604520X | 200 pages | PDF | 0.66 MB In Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud made abundantly clear what he thought about the biblical injunction, first articulated in Leviticus 19:18 and then elaborated in Christian teachings, to love one's neighbor as oneself. "Let us adopt a naive attitude towards it," he proposed, "as though we were hearing it for the first time; we shall be unable then to suppress a feeling of surprise and bewilderment." After the horrors of World War II, the Holocaust, and Stalinism, Leviticus 19:18 seems even less conceivable-but all the more urgent now-than Freud imagined.
The Musical Rhetoric of the Polish Baroque (Eastern European Studies in Musicology) By Tomasz Jasinski 2015 | 406 Pages | ISBN: 3631627602 | PDF | 7 MB This book looks at the rich means of text interpretation in seventeenth and eighteenth century Polish music, a relatively unknown phenomenon. The works of old Polish masters exhibit many ingenious and beautiful solutions in musical oration, which will appeal to wide circles of lovers and experts of old music. One of the fundamental components of baroque musical poetics was music-rhetorical figures, which were the main means of shaping expression - the base and quintessence of musical rhetoric. It was by means of figures that composers built the musical interpretation of a verbal text, developing pictorial, emphatic, onomatopoeic, symbolic, and allegorical structures that rendered emotions and meanings carried by the verbal level of a musical piece. |
