The Philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson

This study offers the first comprehensive account of Emerson's philosophy since his philosophical rehabilitation began in the late 1970s. It builds on the historical reconstruction proposed in the author's previous book Emerson's Metaphysics and like that study draws on the entire Emerson corpus—the poetry and sermons included. The aim here is expository. The overall though not exclusive emphasis is on identity as the first term of Emerson's metaphysics of identity and flowing or metamorphosis. This metaphysics or general conception of the nature of reality is what grounds his epistemology and ethics as well as his esthetic religious and political thought. Acknowledging its primacy enables a general account like this to avoid the anti-realist overemphasis on epistemology and language that has often characterized rehabilitation readings of his philosophy. After an initial chapter on Emerson's metaphysics the subsequent chapters devoted to the other branches of his thought also begin with their necessary foundation in identity which is the law of things and the law of mind alike. Perception of identity in metamorphosis is what characterizes the philosopher the poet the scientist the reformer and the man of faith and virtue. Identity of mind and world is felt in what Emerson calls the moral sentiment. Identity is Emerson's answer to the Sphinx-riddle of life experienced as a puzzling succession of facts and events. | The Philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson

On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R. Greenson

On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R. Greenson

The author was perhaps psychoanalysis's most gifted and eloquent spokesperson. In this volume the author is presented in one of the roles he enjoyed most: communicating to a lay audience his understanding of people and life and his insights into the science and art of psychoanalysis. These important talks profoundly influenced countless professional workers and lay people. The twenty-four public lectures in this remarkable collection are each a gem of wisdom and humor. With deep psychoanalytic wisdom the author addresses such timeless and universal human concerns as love and emotional development; hate aggression and war; masculinity femininity and sexuality; jealousy envy and possessiveness; and the vicissitudes of child rearing and family development. Reading these entertaining public talks of the author now is like reading a chronicle of the great psychosocial issues of the past half-century. One is impressed with not only the wisdom they offer for our current concerns but also with how revolutionary original and prophetic was his thinking. | On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R.

Demand and Supply

Demand and Supply

First published in 1971 Demand and Supply is an introduction to the economics of resource allocation often known as micro-economics. Ralph Turvey examines how the economy really works and does not just give the economists’ textbook version which oversimplifies technology and exaggerates the importance of prices in adjusting supply and demand. Instead of offering theoretical diagrams and imaginary examples he refrains from expounding those ideas that cannot be simply demonstrated or applied. But he includes sections on retail margins urban land values and the value of time – topics rarely dealt with in beginner’s books. Some examples of the examples are: university teachers’ pay; cotton spinning costs; pricing of tin cans; demand for farm tractors; newspaper economics; competition in the bus industry. This is the kind of economics used in practice and rests on down to earth fact finding. This book will be useful for both general readers and A- level and first year university students.

The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

In his prologue to The Mongol Empire Michael Prawdin sets the stage for the last and mightiest onslaught of the nomads upon the civilized world. He tells of the many rejoicings in Europe over the successes of the Crusaders in A. D. 1221. But little did Europe know that two decades later the Mongol hordes organized by Genghis Khan would turn the Middle East into a heap of ruins and spread terror throughout the West. A work of enduring scholarship and literary excellence The Mongol Empire is a classic on the rise and fall of the world's largest empire. It describes the incredible ascent of the Mongol people which through the political and military genius of Genghis Khan overwhelmed and subdued the nations of most of the world. It demonstrates the transformation of barbarous nomads into the most efficient rulers of their time and describes the crumbling of their vast empire and the assumption of its legacy by the formerly subjugated China and Russia. Maurice Collis in Time and Tide said of The Mongol Empire: It has the rare merit of being both scholarly and exciting. . The entire world comes on to his canvas romantic and fantastical persons pass in our view and at the conclusion we realize that we have seen the whole of what Marco Polo saw only in part. while The Observer commented it is a fine book full of dramatic occasion well used clear in proportions. | The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

Home Advantage in Sport Causes and the Effect on Performance

Home Advantage in Sport Causes and the Effect on Performance

This is the first book exploring the concept of home advantage (HA) the well-known beneficial effect that players and teams derive from performing at home in all sports throughout the world. Despite the fact that the existence of HA dates back to the origins of organized sport in the late 19th century its root causes and how they operate and interact with each other are still unclear and remain the topic of intense research involving many disciplines all with the potential objective of improving team and individual performance. This book covers a broad review of HA divided into three different sections: (i) Section 1 focuses on the theory of HA in sport (the concept of this phenomenon its quantification and factors supposedly associated with the HA are explored; (ii) Section 2 analyses the effects of HA in sports related to both male and female athletes in relation to tactics and strategies fans referees travel situational variables and the home disadvantage; and (iii) Section 3 studies the HA as it applies to specific sports worldwide such as outdoor sports (football rugby cricket and Australian Football) indoor sports (basketball futsal handball water polo and volleyball) US professional sports individual sports racket sports combat sports minor sports disabled sports and the Olympic Games. This book has been written in cooperation with top leading experts in this field worldwide.

Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

This is the first book to offer a thorough examination of the relationship that Stanley Cavell’s celebrated philosophical work has to the ways in which the United States has been imagined and articulated in its literature. Establishing the contours of Cavell’s most significant readings of American philosophical and cultural activity the volume explores how his philosophy and the kind of reading it demands have an important relation to broader considerations of the American national imaginary. Focused coherent and original essays from a wide range of philosophers and critics consider how his investigations of Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson for example represent a sustained engagement with the ways in which philosophy might provide us with new ways of thinking and of living. This is the first detailed and comprehensive treatment of America as a category of enquiry in Cavell’s writing engaging with the terms of Cavell’s various configurations of the nation and offering readings of American texts that illustrate the possibilities that Cavell’s work has in turn for literary and film criticism. This study of the role played by philosophy in the articulation of the American self-imaginary highlights the ways in which the reading of literature and the practice of philosophy are conjoined in the ethical and political project of national self-definition. | Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation

Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation

The physical design flow of any project depends upon the size of the design the technology the number of designers the clock frequency and the time to do the design. As technology advances and design-styles change physical design flows are constantly reinvented as traditional phases are removed and new ones are added to accommodate changes in technology. Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation provides a detailed overview of VLSI physical design automation emphasizing state-of-the-art techniques trends and improvements that have emerged during the previous decade. After a brief introduction to the modern physical design problem basic algorithmic techniques and partitioning the book discusses significant advances in floorplanning representations and describes recent formulations of the floorplanning problem. The text also addresses issues of placement net layout and optimization routing multiple signal nets manufacturability physical synthesis special nets and designing for specialized technologies. It includes a personal perspective from Ralph Otten as he looks back on the major technical milestones in the history of physical design automation. Although several books on this topic are currently available most are either too broad or out of date. Alternatively proceedings and journal articles are valuable resources for researchers in this area but the material is widely dispersed in the literature. This handbook pulls together a broad variety of perspectives on the most challenging problems in the field and focuses on emerging problems and research results.

Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

Although the phrase the American Dream dates from the 1930s the concept or idea of the American Dream is as old as the country. The values proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence and reaffirmed (and extended) in the Gettysburg Address have been continuously promoted by every American president. Moreover they form the basis of our national collective narrative as expressed through both elite and popular culture. The American Dream is intrinsically tied to the American Creed and American Exceptionalism. It is the foundation of our national identity the glue that holds together our individual aspirations. Yet until the mid-twentieth century the American Dream excluded African Americans. We as a nation—as an imagined community—could not imagine an integrated multiracial society with Blacks and Whites living together as equals. By examining the lives of the only three African American Nobel Peace Prize winners we can see how their lives were shaped by the American Dream and how their success was used to deny the structural racism that prevented others from achieving the American Dream. Ralph Bunche as a role model of academic and technical expertise Martin Luther King Jr. as a model race leader and Barack Obama as a political leader provide a window on the changing meaning of the American Dream. In conclusion Haiti is presented as a failed example of an attempt to export the American Dream in the form of American Exceptionalism and racial reparations are reimagined as a radical democratic project aimed at true global integration and justice. | Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

The Anarchists

The Anarchists

In his new introduction to The Anarchists Horowitz points out that anarchism is an ideology in search of a movement and also a psychology in search of a polity. While this seems to be a paradox the fact is that anarchism has more than one hundred thousand entries on electronic search engines but one can search high and low for a society that embraces its essential anti-Statist vision. At the same time anarchism continues to attract people to its premises seemingly generation after generation. Despite similarities in values and goals anarchism seems especially attractive to those for whom individualism rather than collectivism provides a way of life. In this it stands at the opposite pole from Behemoth from the gods of political order. The Anarchists is a rich collection of theories and practices in the words of those who have rebelled against the restrictive institutions and oppressive conditions imposed by state power upon the individual. Idealists and self-seekers saints and assassins they have often served as the conscience of the world and have expressed with eloquence and convictions the deep-seated sense of anarchy that resides to a greater or lesser degree in most human beings. Anarchism is not simply a European import; it is deeply rooted in the American political experience. The volume gives strong representation to this side of the anarchist tradition. Thomas Paine wrote Government even in its best state is but a necessary evil. This was a sentiment echoed by Ralph Waldo Emerson who said the less government we have the better. The Anarchists offers the most thoughtful and comprehensive selection of writings by and about those who protest against all rule by man over man particularly that embodied in the State. As such this anthology presents the history and philosophy of anarchism in the words of thirty-five of its greatest students observers and proponents.
