The Nature of Consciousness
Author: Mark Rowlands
File Type: pdf
Mark Rowlands develops an innovative and radical account of the nature of phenomenal consciousness, with significant consequences for attempts to find a place for it in the natural order. He argues that the phenomenal aspects of conscious experience are aspects that exist only in the directing of experience towards non-phenomenal objects, a theory that undermines reductive attempts to explain consciousness in terms of what is not conscious. His book will be of interest to a wide range of readers in the philosophy of mind and language, psychology, and cognitive science.Review...a book filled with scholarly argument, well-developed-- but also well-defined-- complex jargon, excellent critique of all the previous important works of the field (thought experiments included) and written by a philosophy lecturer. This book is required reading not only for those wanting to get to grips with what is going on in consciousness studies, but for those who are dissatisfied with the current accounts which...tend to base themselves on an objectualist thesis. Ion Georgiou, Metapsychology...the book deserves praise for setting out a detailed and well-argued case for actualism, and for making a forceful case for its transcendental nature in the context of mainstream, objectualist, analytical philosophy of mind. - Jacob Hohwy, Aarhus University, Denmark Book DescriptionMark Rowlands develops an innovative and radical account of the nature of phenomenal consciousness, with significant consequences for attempts to find a place for it in the natural order.

File Type: pdf
Major study of the role of European Christian democratic parties in the making of the European Union. It radically re-conceptualises European integration in long-term historical perspective as the outcome of partisan competition of political ideologies and parties and their guiding ideas for the future of Europe. Wolfram Kaiser takes a comparative approach to political Catholicism in the nineteenth century, Catholic parties in interwar Europe and Christian democratic parties in postwar Europe and studies these parties cross-border contacts and co-ordination of policy-making. He shows how well networked party elites ensured that the origins of European Union were predominately Christian democratic, with considerable repercussions for the present-day EU. The elites succeeded by intensifying their cross-border communication and coordinating their political tactics and policy making in government. This is a major contribution to the new transnational history of Europe and the history of European integration. **Review Kaisers book is a detailed scholarly analysis of European Christian democracy from its 19th-century inception to recent times. Recommended. -Choice Kaisers survey impresses for its analytical incisiveness and chronological and geographic scope. -Central European History Kaisers book is a milestone on the road to demonstrating how the European Union was built precisely through the networking of transnational actors such as Christian Democratic parties. -Stefan Berger, The International History Review ...Kaiser has written an important book for scholars of European integration and European politics in the twentieth century. -Robert Mark Spaulding, H-German ...a landmark contribution to contemporary European history. -Holger Nehring, Journal of Cold War Studies Book Description A radical study of the role of European Christian democratic parties in the making of the European Union. It re-conceptualises European integration in long-term historical perspective as the outcome of the partisan competition of political ideologies and parties and their guiding ideas for the future of Europe.

REQUI

Author: Charity Scribner
File Type: pdf
In Requiem for Communism Charity Scribner examines the politics of memory in postindustrial literature and art. Writers and artists from Europes second world have responded to the last socialist crisis with works that range from sober description to melancholic fixation. This book is the first survey of this cultural field.Today, as the cultures of Eastern and Western Europe merge into the Infobahn of late capitalism, the second world is being left behind. The European Union has pronounced obsolete the structures that once defined and linked industrial cities from Manchester to Karl-Marx-Stadt--the decaying factories and working collectives, the wasted ideals of state socialism and the welfare state. Marxist exponents of global empire see this historical turn as an occasion to eulogize the lightness and joy of being communist. But for many writers and artists on the left, the fallout of the last centurys socialist crisis calls for an elegy. This regret has prompted a proliferation of literary texts and artworks, as well as a boom in museum exhibitions that race to curate the wreckage of socialism and its industrial remnants. The best of these works do not take us back to the factory. Rather they look for something to take out of it the intractable moments of solidarity among men and women that did not square with the market or the plan.Requiem for Communism explores a selection of signal works. They include John Berger?s narrative trilogy Into Their Labors Documenta, the German platform for contemporary art and ideas Krzysztof Kieslowskis cinema of mourning and Andrzej Wajdas filmed chronicles of the Solidarity movement the art of Joseph Beuys and Rachel Whiteread the novels of Christa Wolf and Leslie Kaplans antinostalgic memoir of womens material labor in France. Sorting among the ruins of the second world, the critical minds of contemporary Europe aim to salvage both the remains of socialist ideals and the latent feminist potential that attended them.

When the alarm goes off at 530 a.m., it is still dark outside. Lying there, I take a quick mental inventory of what lies before me this morning. The boys dont have to be at school early for a team meeting or to see any of their teachers. They dont have to finish any homework or cram last minute for a test. As seniors in high school and already admitted to college, they are coasting to the finish line. In a way, they have already passed it. The breakfast table to raise money for the lacrosse team does not start until tomorrow, to coincide with the opening game of the season. So with both my morning and afternoon committed tomorrow, I have lots to get done today. But it also means that, right now, I have the luxury of hitting the snooze button for another ten minutes sleep.

21 Techniques of Silent Killing outlines methods used trained assassins to execute their victims with cold efficiency. The spike, knife and nunchaku are used to impale or strangle victims in a minimum amount of time with a maximum chance for lethal results. These are ruthless methods used in the shadowy worlds of criminal activity and international espionage -- and this book holds nothing back! In fact, the illustrations in this book are so graphic that our regular printer refused to handle the job.The techniques in this book are not self-defense maneuvers, nor is this a training manual.
