Showing titles in Consciousness & Thought

Mit den Mädchen hat es die Natur auf Das, was man im dramaturgischen Sinne, einen Knalleffekt nennt, abgesehen, indem sie dieselben, auf wenige Jahre, mit überreichlicher Schönheit, Reiz und Fülle ausstattet, auf Kosten ihrer ganzen übrigen Lebenszeit, damit sie nämlich, während jener Jahre, der Phantasie eines Mannes sich in dem Maße bemächtigen könnten, dass er hingerissen wird, die Sorge für sie auf Zeit Lebens, in irgend einer Form, ehrlich zu übernehmen; zu welchem Schritte ihn zu vermögen, die bloße vernünftige Überlegung keine hinlänglich sichere Bürgschaft zu geben schien.

Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society.

Biology found some things called "mirror neurons" and they are doing the "romanticizing" by mirroring or copying the major influences of a person. This "romanticizing" is all happening below our conscious awareness. We don't even know it is happening! Humans are being controlled by their influences! Is this crazy or what? I thought I controlled my life, ... but I don't! My influences control my life!

Dharma is our gradual awakening to the truth and the recognition of our unique path. Dharma is not something I chose; it chose me. These are some of my insights over 25 years of intensive study, practice, and teaching of yoga. Much of it centers on hatha yoga (postures and breath work) because that is the main practice in the West. Like other branches of yoga, it is a training of mind and heart so that we experience life with grace and equanimity. Insight arises from continual observation of the mind (citta).

Nietzsche gibt in dieser späten Schrift eine Beschreibung der bedeutenden 'Züge seiner Natur' in enger Zusammenschau mit seinen Schriften. Er erfüllt damit (zunächst aus eigener Sicht) seine Forderung, das Denken eines Philosophen im Wesentlichen auch aus den Bedingtheiten seines Lebens zu verstehen – und er wünscht sich geradezu die gebotene Respektlosigkeit seiner 'späten' Leser (und Hörer); den freien, unverstellten Blick auf seine eigenen 'Ideale', Attitüden und geistigen Posen. "Und warum wollt ihr nicht an meinem Kranze rupfen?" (Ecce Homo / Selbstzitat aus dem Zarathustra)

This book (in dialogue form) explains what is the nature of politics, and what is the anthropological evolution of the political party by defining the essence of the political left and right and their respective raisons d’etre, what motivates them, and the nature of their ethics. The explanation is contained in 7 Dictums (one set of seven principles each for the Left and the Right). Further, the book demonstrates how the Dictums are relative and explanatory to the rise and fall of empires and the causes of war.

Sus argumentos toman la forma de un diálogo rico y exquisito entre él y la Filosofía en un intento de crear una ideología coherente que apoye su visión del mundo.
