Plotinus Legacy: The Transformation of Platonism From the Renaissance to the Modern Era
Author: Stephen Gersh
File Type: pdf
The extensive influence of Plotinus, the third-century founder of Neoplatonism, on intellectual thought from the Renaissance to the modern era has never been systematically explored. This collection of new essays fills the gap in the scholarship, thereby casting a spotlight on a current of intellectual history that is inherently significant. The essays take the form of a series of case-studies on major figures in the history of Neoplatonism, ranging from Marsilio Ficino to Henri-Louis Bergson and moving through Italian, French, English, and German philosophical traditions. They bring clarity to the terms Platonism and Neoplatonism, which are frequently invoked by historians but often only partially understood, and provide fresh perspectives on well-known issues including the rise of mechanical philosophy in the sixteenth century and the relation between philosophy and Romanticism in the nineteenth century. The volume will be important for readers interested in the history of thought in the early-modern and modern ages.Book DescriptionThis book will help readers understand and define Neoplatonism, the school of thought founded by Plotinus in the third century. Using a series of case-studies from Italian, French, English, and German philosophical traditions, the book traces the influence of Neoplatonism over the centuries, focusing on key figures from intellectual history. About the Author Stephen Gersh is Emeritus Professor of Medieval Studies and Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. He has published many books on authors from Cicero to Derrida, including medieval Latin and Byzantine writers.

Have you ever wanted to know how modern digital communications systems work? Find out with this step-by-step guide to building a complete digital radio that includes every element of a typical, real-world communication system. Chapter by chapter, you will create a MATLAB realization of the various pieces of the system, exploring the key ideas along the way, as well as analyzing and assessing the performance of each component. Then, in the final chapters, you will discover how all the parts fit together and interact as you build the complete receiver. In addition to coverage of crucial issues, such as timing, carrier recovery and equalization, the text contains over 400 practical exercises, providing invaluable preparation for industry, where wireless communications and software radio are becoming increasingly important. A variety of extra resources are also provided online, including lecture slides and a solutions manual for instructors.Book DescriptionWith this hands-on, step-by-step guide, students use MATLAB to construct the various pieces of a communication system and learn to integrate all the elements into a fully functional software receiver. Coverage of crucial issues, such as timing, carrier recovery and equalization, is included, together with over 400 practical exercises. About the AuthorC. Richard Johnson, Jr is the Geoffrey S. M.

File Type: pdf
Comprehensive overview of the inroads made by Complexity Thinking approaches and ideas in the study and practice of world politics.Why are policymakers, scholars, and the general public so surprised when the world turns out to be unpredictable? World Politics at the Edge of Chaos suggests that the study of international politics needs new forms of knowledge to respond to emerging challenges such as the interconnectedness between local and transnational realities between markets, migration, and social movements and between pandemics, a looming energy crisis, and climate change. Asserting that Complexity Thinking (CT) provides a much-needed lens for interpreting these challenges, the contributors offer a parallel assessment of the impact of CT to anthropocentric and non-anthropocentric (post-human) International Relations. Using this perspective, the result should be less surprise when confronting the dynamism of a fragile and unpredictable global life.

Author: Daniel Miller
File Type: epub
At the end of life, our comfort lies mainly in relationships. In this book, Daniel Miller, one of the worlds leading anthropologists, examines the social worlds of people suffering from terminal or long-term illness. Threading together a series of personal stories, based on interviews conducted with patients of an English hospice, Miller draws out the implications of these narratives for our understanding of community, friendship, and kinship, but also loneliness and isolation. This is a book about peoples lives, not their deaths about the hospice patients rather than the hospice. It focuses on the comfort given by friends, carers and relatives through both face-to-face relations and, increasingly, online communication. Miller asks whether the loneliness and isolation he uncovers is the result of a decline of English patterns of socialising, or their continuation. This moving and deeply humane book combines warmth and sharp observation with anthropological insight and practical suggestions for the use of media by the hospice. It will be of interest not only to students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, social policy and media and cultural studies, but also to healthcare professionals and, indeed, to anyone who would like to know more about the role of relationships in the final stage of our lives. **Review The Comfort of People reveals, in both technicolour and shades of grey, the ordinariness, the drama, the simplicity and the complexity of networks as people live out lives in the shadow of a serious diagnosis... These stories need to be read by all those working with dying people. Dr Ros Taylor, Clinical Director, Hospice UK About the Author Daniel Miller is Professor of Anthropology at University College London.

File Type: pdf
We often ask ourselves what gets lost in translationnot just between languages, but in the everyday trade-offs between what we experience and what we are able to say about it. But the visionary poems of this collection invite us to consider what is loss, in translation? Writing at the limits of languagewhere the signs loosen, fray, and driftAlan Shapiro probes the startling complexity of how we confront absence and the ephemeral, the heartbreak of what once wasnt yet and now is no longer, of what (like racial prejudice and historical atrocity) is omnipresent and elusive. Through poems that are fine-grained and often quiet, Shapiro tells of subtle bereavements a young boy is shamed for the first time for looking girly an ailing old man struggles to visit his wife in a nursing home or a woman dying of cancer watches her friends enjoy themselves in her absence. Throughout, this collection traverses rather than condemns the imperfect language of lossmoving against the current in the direction of the utterly ineffable. **
