Auden famously wrote: "Poetry makes nothing happen." Journalism is a different matter. In a brilliant study that is, in part, a memoir of his 40 years as an essayist and critic at TIME magazine, Lance Morrow returns to the Age of Typewriters and to the 20th century's extraordinary cast of characters-statesmen and dictators, saints and heroes, liars and monsters, and the reporters, editors, and publishers who interpreted their deeds. He shows how journalism has touched the history of the last 100 years, has shaped it, distorted it, and often proved decisive in its outcomes.

Sara Protasi University of Puget Sound, "The Moral Psychology of Envy (Volume 18) " English | ISBN: 1538160064 | 2022 | 258 pages | PDF | 2 MB Envy is a vicious and shameful response to the good fortune of others, one that ruins friendships and plagues societies-or so the common thinking goes, shaped by millennia of religious and cultural condemnation. Envy's bad reputation is not completely unwarranted; envy can indeed motivate malicious and counterproductive behavior and may strain or even tear apart relations between people. However, that is not always the case. Investigating the complex nature of this emotion reveals that it plays important functions in social hierarchies and it can motivate one to self-improve and even to achieve moral virtue.

S. Venkateswaran, "The Mind of Adi Shankaracharya Ed 8" English | ISBN: 817224214X | 2004 | 136 pages | EPUB | 404 KB Though he is considered one of the foremost of India's philosophers, Shankara is also one of the most misunderstood. Much of the misunderstanding of Shankara's position may be due to the absence of a lucid presentation of his life and works in a comprehensive and readable form. This short monograph is an attempt to meet that need for the benefit of those who have no previous acquaintance with philosophy. Shankara was one of the most subtle of Indian philosophers, and though for him intellectual dexterity was not an end in itself, the reader will find some reasoning worthy of his steel in the following pages.  Martina Censi, "The Migrant in Arab Literature " English | ISBN: 0367135884 | 2022 | 206 pages | PDF | 5 MB This edited book offers a collection of fresh and critical essays that explore the representation of the migrant subject in modern and contemporary Arabic literature and discuss its role in shaping new forms of transcultural and transnational identities. The selection of essays in this volume offers a set of new insights on a cluster of tropes: self-discovery, alienation, nostalgia, transmission and translation of knowledge, sense of exile, reconfiguration of the relationship with the past and the identity, and the building of transnational identity. A coherent yet multi-faceted narrative of micro-stories and of transcultural and transnational Arab identities will emerge from the essays: the volume aims at reversing the traditional perspective according to which a migrant subject is a non-political actor.  Michael Blamauer, "The Mental as Fundamental: New Perspectives on Panpsychism" English | 2013 | ISBN: 3868381147 | PDF | pages: 173 | 1.1 mb A revival of panpsychistic considerations of the mind's place in nature has recently enriched the debate on the mind-body problem in the contemporary philosophy of the mind. The essays assembled in the present collection aim to supply a positive contribution to these considerations, providing new perspectives on panpsychism by shedding new light on its arguments and impacts, as well as on its problems and theoretical challenges. Panpsychism is discussed as a position that understands consciousness as a truly fundamental feature of our reality-not only with respect to the human species, but also with respect to the evolution of the universe as such. |
