The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

This volume stages a series of encounters between the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy and leading scholars of his work along four major themes of Nancy’s thought: sense experience existence and Christianity. In doing so the volume seeks to remind readers that Nancy’s sens has many meanings in French: aside from those that easily carry over into English i. e. everything to do with meaning and the senses; it also includes the way they are conducted the direction they take the thrust or pulse in which the circulation of sense exists. Faithful to this plural understanding of sens the writings collected here aim to join Jean-Luc Nancy in the process of making-sense that animates his thinking rather than to deliver a definitive summary of his position on any given issue. They are conceived of as notes along the way documenting encounters as moments of (re)direction and recording the pulse of sense that animates them. In that spirit Nancy himself has provided each contribution with an echo in which he in turn responds to each author and thereby continues their mutual encounter. Aside from these echoes this volume includes an original essay in which Nancy reflects upon the international trajectory of his thinking; a trajectory that is to be and undoubtedly will be continued in many different directions across and around the world. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki. | The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

The Strange Death of Liberal England 1910-1914

The Strange Death of Liberal England 1910-1914

This book focuses on the chaos that overtook England on the eve of the First World War. Dangerfield weaves together the three wild strands of the Irish Rebellion (the rebellion in Ulster) the Suffragette Movement and the Labour Movement to produce a vital picture of the state of mind and the most pressing social problems in England at the time. The country was preparing even then for its entrance into the twentieth century and total war. Dangerfield argues that between the death of Edward VII and the First World War there was a considerable hiatus in English history. He states that 1910 was a landmark year in English history. In 1910 the English spirit flared up so that by the end of 1913 Liberal England was reduced to ashes. From these ashes a new England emerged in which the true prewar Liberalism was supported by free trade a majority in Parliament the Ten Commandments but the illusion of progress vanished. That extravagant behavior of the postwar decade Dangerfield notes had begun before the war. The war hastened everything - in politics in economics in behavior - but it started nothing. George Dangerfield's wonderfully written 1935 book has been extraordinarily influential. Scarcely any important analyst of modern Britain has failed to cite it and to make use of the understanding Dangerfield provides. This edition is timely since the year 2010 has seen a definitive resurrection of Liberal power. Subsequent to the General Election of July 2010 the government of the United Kingdom has been in the hands of a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition. The Deputy Prime Minister is the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party - the direct successor of the old Liberal Party examined by Dangerfield. Five Liberal Democrat members of Parliament were appointed to the Cabinet and there are Liberal Democrat ministers in all governmental departments. After decades of absence from government power Liberalism seems to be back with a vengeance. | The Strange Death of Liberal England 1910-1914

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Making an artificial brain is not a part of artificial intelligence. It will be a revolutionary journey of mankind exploring a science where one cannot write an equation a material will vibrate like geometric shape and then those shapes will change to make decisions. Geometry of silence plays like a musical instrument to mimic a human brain; our thoughts imagination everything would be a 3D shape playing as music; composing music would be the brain’s singular job. For a century the Turing machine ruled human civilization; it was believed that irrespective of complexity all events add up linearly. This book is a thesis to explore the science of decision-making where events are 3D-geometric shapes events grow within and above never side by side. ​ The book documents inventions and discoveries in neuroscience computer science materials science mathematics and chemistry that explore the possibility of brain or universe as a time crystal. The philosophy of Turing the philosophy of membrane-based neuroscience and the philosophy of linear sequential thought process are challenged here by considering that a nested time crystal encompasses the entire conscious universe. Instead of an algorithm the pattern of maximum free will is generated mathematically and that very pattern is encoded in materials such that its natural vibration integrates random events exactly similar to the way nature does it in every remote corner of our universe. Find how an artificial brain avoids any necessity for algorithm or programming using the pattern of free will. | Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Ordinarily the word essays is invoked at great risk by authors and publishers alike. But in the case of this special collection by Joseph A. Schumpeter the great Austrian economist who finally settled at Harvard the scholarly world knows this particular volume as his Essays. For a less pious younger generation a subtitle has been added describing what these essays are about. In addition to the major themes of Schumpeter's life: the place of the entrepreneur in economic development the risks and rewards of innovation business cycles and why they occur and the evolution of capitalism in Europe and America the Essays contain statements on how Schumpeter viewed his own development; they discuss how he looked at Marxism and how he feared that economics was in danger of becoming too ideological. Several of the Essays are classics. This is the case for The Creative Response in Economic History in which Schumpeter makes a plea for the close cooperation between economic theory and economic history. Another is Science and Ideology which constitutes Schumpeter's presidential address before the American Economic Association. Finally there is the intriguing preface to the Japanese translation of Theory of Economic Development in which Schumpeter names Walras and Marx as his two great predecessors. Even those who treasure the original publication were irritated by the remarkably poor quality of much of the book which reproduced everything from typewriter script to nearly unreadable reduced double columns. These lapses have been corrected in this new edition. Here Schumpeter's Essays can finally be read with the enjoyment no lesS than enlightenment they deserve. The volume is alive to the basic issues of our time. The reader can look forward to intellectual insight and stimuli of the highest order. | Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

This book is about the invisible or subtle nature of food and farming and also about the nature of existence. Everything that we know (and do not know) about the physical world has a subtle counterpart which has been scarcely considered in modernist farming practice and research. If you think this book isn’t for you if it appears more important to attend to the pressing physical challenges the world is facing before having the luxury of turning to such subtleties then think again. For it could be precisely this worldview – the one prioritises the physical-material dimension of reality - that helped get us into this situation in the first place. Perhaps we need a different worldview to get us out? This book makes a foundational contribution to the discipline of Subtle Agroecologies a nexus of indigenous epistemologies multidisciplinary advances in wave-based and ethereal studies and the science of sustainable agriculture. Not a farming system in itself Subtle Agroecologies superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing materially-based agroecological farming systems. Bringing together 43 authors from 12 countries and five continents from the natural and social sciences as well as the arts and humanities this multi-contributed book introduces the discipline explaining its relevance and potential contribution to the field of Agroecology. Research into Subtle Agroecologies may be described as the systematic study of the nature of the invisible world as it relates to the practice of agriculture and to do this through adapting and innovating with research methods in particular with those of a more embodied nature with the overall purpose of bringing and maintaining balance and harmony. Such research is an open-minded inquiry its grounding being the lived experiences of humans working on and with the land over several thousand years to the present. By reclaiming and reinterpreting the perennial relationship between humans and nature the implications would revolutionise agriculture heralding a new wave of more sustainable farming techniques changing our whole relationship with nature to one of real collaboration rather than control and ultimately transforming ourselves. | Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature
