Free Download Margolis Joseph, "Three Paradoxes of Personhood: The Venetian Lectures " English | ISBN: 8869771040 | 2017 | 140 pages | EPUB | 2 MB The starting point of Joseph Margolis' last philosophical effort is represented by the problem of the human "gap" in animal continuity: "There appear to be no comparable variants of animal evolution effected by anything like the culturally enabled creation". While we share with other animals more or less refined forms of societal life, acquiring a natural language remains a distinctively human character: although it is grounded in the completely natural favourable changes in the human vocal apparatus and brain, the merely causal emergence of language in humans reacts back into human primates by transforming them into persons or selves. The artifactuality of persons appears to be at the same time a natural and emergent phenomenon, constituting the other side of the process of language acquisition both by early hominids and by human infants. In this perspective the largely informal, mongrel and approximate functionality of ordinary language is interpreted as a good tool for the cultural animal to cope with the world, while the collective dimension of human forms of life appears as the shared context of external and internal constitution of the human selves  Free Download Erik Schilling, "Theorizing Literature: Literary Theory in Contemporary Novels - and Their Analysis" English | ISBN: 3031533259 | 2024 | 220 pages | EPUB | 4 MB This book offers an analytical model for the interpretation of theory-informed novels - American, English, French, German, and Italian - from the past 50 years. Works discussed include Laurent Binet's The 7th Function of Language, Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, Patricia Duncker's Hallucinating Foucault, Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, David Lodge's Small World, and Juli Zeh's Dark Matter. Erik Schilling shows how these works not only incorporate elements of theory in playful, intertextual ways, but productively work with theory - for instance, by elaborating the complexities of the roles of author and reader or by confronting the quest for meaning with an infinite network of signs. Schilling argues that the novels do not merely adopt theory; they create theory - and this theorizing literature requires new forms of interpretation.

Duns SJ, "Theology of Horror: The Hidden Depths of Popular Films" English | ISBN: 0268208557 | 2024 | 344 pages | PDF | 4 MB Theology of Horror explores the dark reaches of popular horror films, bringing to light their implicit theological and philosophical themes.  Free Download David Lonsdale, "Theological and Philosophical Explorations of the Call of Literature: Power of the Word VI " English | ISBN: 1032387165 | 2025 | 266 pages | PDF | 10 MB This book explores the 'call' of literature, for both writers and their audiences, and reflects on how literary works have informed and drawn from - and continue to inform and draw from - theology, philosophy and sacred scripture. Key questions addressed include the following: How do creative writers and critics conceive this call? What does it mean to speak of a 'vocation' to write and what have theologians and philosophers got to say on the matter? Is the spirit of literature always or necessarily an 'angel of light'? Or is the call of literature a siren song? The essays by an international and interdisciplinary range of contributors discuss the work and testimony of writers from William Blake, Gerard Manley Hopkins and R.S. Thomas to James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and Michel Houellebecq. Also examined are the ideas and influence of figures such as John Henry Newman, who wrote that the importance of literature stems from our very nature and God-given powers as human beings, especially language. This latest volume from The Power of the Word Project will be of interest to scholars from theology, philosophy and literature.  Free Download The κ-Statistics Approach to Income Distribution Analysis English | 2025 | ISBN: 1009446355 | 72 Pages | PDF (True) | 1.5 MB This Element presents the κ-generalized distribution, a statistical model tailored for the analysis of income distribution. Developed over years of collaborative, multidisciplinary research, it clarifies the statistical properties of the model, assesses its empirical validity and compares its effectiveness with other parametric models. It also presents formulas for calculating inequality indices within the κ-generalized framework, including the widely used Gini coefficient and the relatively lesser-known Zanardi index of Lorenz curve asymmetry. Through empirical illustrations, the Element criticizes the conventional application of the Gini index, pointing out its inadequacy in capturing the full spectrum of inequality characteristics. Instead, it advocates the adoption of the Zanardi index, accentuating its ability to capture the inherent heterogeneity and asymmetry in income distributions.  Free Download The essential beginner's guide to music composition: A treasure trove of practical tips and techniques for composers and aspiring musicians. (Lets do music) by Curtis Green English | March 7, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CXK7PGL1 | EPUB | 0.63 Mb Do you want to develop your abilities, expand your skills, and become a more creative composer?  Free Download The Younger Dryas Period: The History of the Earth's Drastic Climate Change at the End of the Pleistocene Era by Charles River Editors English | February 10, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DWV8LFNV | 78 pages | EPUB | 1.35 Mb As a basic definition, it may be said that an Ice Age is simply a period of time during which thick ice sheets cover vast areas of land. These sheets have advanced and retreated, at times taking over the entire planet, and conversely disappearing nearly altogether. Glacial ice formed by this regularly occurring process does not sit in a state of inertia, but moves dynamically, reshaping the geological features of the continents. Again, the time frame for glacial movement is far longer than any involving human activity, so close attention must be paid in order to correctly measure and interpret it for the modern day.  Free Download Maja Kominko, "The World of Kosmas" English | ISBN: 1108816371 | 2020 | 424 pages | PDF | 64 MB The Christian Topography is the only extant Greek treatise both written and illustrated in the sixth century, although known only through later copies. Taking inspiration from East Syrian exegesis, the treatise transforms the heritage of classical cosmography into a new, Christian image of the universe. Because images are an inherent part of the argument, the Christian Topography offers a unique insight into how the relationship between word and image was constructed and how the potential of these two media was understood. Until now, however, the text and illustrations have almost always been discussed separately. Consequently the unity of the work has been disrupted and our understanding of the treatise distorted. Taking into consideration both the text and the miniatures, this book seeks to further our understanding of the Christian Topography and its intellectual milieu, and to clarify the role of the images in late antique polemics.  Free Download J. Jordan, "The Word of a Woman?: Police, Rape and Belief" English | 2004 | pages: 287 | ISBN: 1403921695, 1349515523 | PDF | 0,9 mb The notion that women lie about rape is a prevalent belief with pervasive influence. This book is unique in combining police file data with interviews obtained from both rape survivors and detectives in order to critically explore how this belief affects police officers' responses to women who report rape. Examination of this material is located within a broader analysis of the historical and socio-cultural environment, and illustrates how rape investigations continue to be conducted within the context of pervasive beliefs and stereotypes regarding both the nature of rape and the nature of women. |
