What a Philosopher Is: Becoming Nietzsche
Author: Laurence Lampert
File Type: pdf
The trajectory of Friedrich Nietzsches thought has long presented a difficulty for the study of his philosophy. How did the young Nietzscheclassicist and ardent advocate of Wagners cultural renewalbecome the philosopher of Will to Power and the Eternal Return? With this book, Laurence Lampert answers that question. He does so through his trademark technique of close readings of key works in Nietzsches journey to philosophy The Birth of Tragedy, Schopenhauer as Educator, Richard Wagner in Bayreuth, Human All Too Human, and Sanctus Januarius, the final book of the 1882 Gay Science. Relying partly on how Nietzsche himself characterized his books in his many autobiographical guides to the trajectory of his thought, Lampert sets each in the context of Nietzsches writings as a whole, and looks at how they individually treat the question of what a philosopher is. Indispensable to his conclusions are the workbooks in which Nietzsche first recorded his advances, especially the 1881 workbook which shows him gradually gaining insights into the two foundations of his mature thinking. The result is the most complete picture weve had yet of the philosophers development, one that gives us a Promethean Nietzsche, gaining knowledge even as he was expanding his thought to create new worlds.

HYPNO
80047
Author: William C. Kohler
File Type: pdf
Hypnosis in the Management of Sleep Disorders combines history and medical science to show that the use of hypnosis and hypnotic techniques is effective in the treatment of sleep disorders -- and that this is increasingly validated through modern tools (computers, fMRI images). Dr. Kohler and Kurz show readers that hypnosis and hypnotic techniques are not to be feared or avoided, but that their use can contribute to effective, non-intrusive, and cost-effective approaches to the treatment of sleep problems. This volume is a much needed reference for therapists and their patients alike on how hypnosis can be helpful in the treatment of certain sleep disorders. **

REVIEW PAPER RECEIVED SEPTEMBER 22ND 2017 ACCEPTED OCTOBER 26TH 2017 UDC 7.038.53314.151.3 ABSTRACT The paper focuses on the activity of Migrative Art collective, officially established in Belgium in 1992, tracing its conceptual formation from 1991 onwards. The collective consisted of artists from ex-Yugoslavia living in exile and inviting artists from the post-Yugoslav area to encounters and gatherings. Migrative Art liberated territories by acts of artistic occupation, organizing various events such as concerts, film projections, exhibitions, performances, talks, installations, and actions in public space. The collectives aim was to re-establish the lost contact between people from the former Yugoslav federation, as well as to introduce art to Belgian universities and Belgian students. This research follows the collectives actions during the period from 19911996 held in various cities Brussels, Antwerp, Louvain-la-Neuve, Esch-sur-Alzette, and Luxembourg. Organization of an impossible encounter is presented as the collectives major artwork. KEYWORDS Migrative Art collective, migration, exile, post-Yugoslav art, impossible encounter, burying artworks, mediatic silence

MEMOR

Author: Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka
File Type: pdf
From Aristotle to the present, memory has been grasped as an image--a trace or impression left by a lost reality--and has been seen as bridging physiological experience and consciousness. Through the centuries philosophers have vainly sought to make concrete the nature of this bridge between sensory experience and consciousness. The present-day physiologizingnaturalizing of consciousness is no closer than previous attempts to resolving their congenital continuity. But the very existence and practice of life is rooted in this continuity, and clearly we have to change our approach to and formulation of this enigma (Erwin Straus). This will mean simultaneously hitting upon and entering into the Aristotelian congenital ties between memory and temporality, which acquire crucial significance in our primogenital ontopoiesis of life (Tymieniecka). The ontopoietic approach to the generation and unfolding of beingness, to the step by step temporalizing of life in the whirl of coalescing moments, reveals memory to be the factor that carries the great secret of this coalescence of temporality and the becoming of life itself. This selectivity and coalescence cannot be the fruit of singular functional schemata or organs, but must proceed from the generative springs of life, become the new platform of first phenomenologyphilosophy, with the fluctuating thread of continuity of memory now to be sought at the innermost heart of beingness and becoming in the ontopoietic logos of life. We propose in this collection to explore the fulgurating force of memory within the perspective of the constitution of reality rememorizing and interpretation, consciousness and action, facts and imagination, history and myths, self-realization and metamorphosis....

LOVE
20560
Author: Walker Percy
File Type: epub
A brilliant and hilarious novel of the end times in America and one psychiatrists quest to save mankind, from a New York Timesbestselling author (Dallas Morning News). The United States seems to be on the brink of catastrophe. From the abandoned cars littering the highways (no one remembers how to fix them) to the endless hours spent on the golf course (now open twenty-four hours for those who cant bother to wait until daylight to putt) to the starkly polarized political and religious factions dividing the country (which are increasingly difficult to tell apart), it is startlingly evident that the great experiment of the American Dream has failed. The only problem is that no one has noticed. No one, that is, except Dr. Thomas More. Dr. More, an alcoholic, womanizing, lapsed-Catholic psychiatrist, has invented the lapsometer a machine capable of diagnosing and curing the spiritual afflictions that are speeding society toward its inevitable collapse. If used correctly, the lapsometer could make anxiety, depression, alienation, and racism things of the past. But, in the wrong hands, it could propel the nation even more quickly into chaos. Hailed as vividly entertaining by the Los Angeles Times and profoundly moving by the Milwaukee Journal, Love in the Ruins is a towering, mind-bending work of satirical speculative fiction by the National Book Awardwinning author of The Moviegoer.**ReviewImmensely readable, vividly entertaining.

Author: Victor Emeljanow
File Type: pdf
This book examines the relationship between wartime conflict and theatre practices. Bringing together a diverse collection of essays in one volume, it offers both a geographically and historically wide view of the subject, taking examples fromBritain, Australia and America to the Middle East, Korea and China, and spanning the fifth century BCE to the present day.It exploresthe ways in which theatre practices have been manipulated for use in political and military propaganda, such as the employment of scenographers to work on camouflage and the application of acting methods in espionage training. It also maps the change in relationships between performers and audiences as a result of conflict, and the emergence of new forms of patronage during wartime theatre-going,boosting morale at periods when social structures and identity were being destabilized.**About the Author Victor Emeljanow is Emeritus Professor in the School of Creative Industries at the University of Newcastle, Australia, and General Editor of the e-journal Popular Entertainment Studies. He has published widely on subjects including the reception of Chekhov in Britain, the career of Theodore Kommisarjevsky, Beerbohm Trees engagement with Ibsen on the West End, Victorian popular dramatists, and prisoner-of-war entertainments during the First and Second World Wars.

Author: Michael Kidron
File Type: epub
An inspiring speaker and brilliantly sophisticated theorist, Michael Kidron was a leading figure in the International Socialist tradition from the 1950s until his death in 2003. Never satisfied with merely restating the assumed tenets of Marxism, Kidron insisted that theory must evolve alongside a changing world &mdash an iconoclastic orientation which led him to clash with others on the left, including the British Communist Party and, later, the Socialist Workers Party itself under the leadership of Kidrons long-time comrade Tony Cliff. This undoctrinaire commitment to theoretical openness was also evident in Kidrons period as an editor with Pluto Books in the 1970s and 1980s, when the publisher became a crucial forum for developing socialist ideas and bringing them to a wider audience. Selected Writings collects a number of Kidrons most important essays Reform and Revolution offers a critique of post-war social democracy, written several decades before its collapse into neoliberalism The Permanent Arms Economy succinctly lays out what is perhaps Kidrons best-known theoretical contribution Black Reformism both provides an analysis of the imperialism of Kidrons day, and attacks the then-common assumption that Third World revolutions opened a road to world socialism. In recognition of Kidrons commitment to constantly re-examining theory, this volume also includes his 1977 essay Two Insights Dont Make a Theory, in which he criticises and updates his own earlier work in light of historical developments. Edited and introduced by Richard Kuper, who worked alongside Kidron at Pluto, this volume is the best introduction to one of the most original Marxist thinkers of recent times. **
