Random House USA Inc Nature Man and Woman Vintage
Book SynopsisFrom “perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West—and an author who ‘had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the unwritable’” (Los Angeles Times)—a guide that draws on Chinese Taoism to reexamine humanity’s place in the natural world and the relation between body and spirit. Western thought and culture have coalesced around a series of constructed ideas—that human beings stand separate from a nature that must be controlled; that the mind is somehow superior to the body; that all sexuality entails a seduction—that in some way underlie our exploitation of the earth, our distrust of emotion, and our loneliness and reluctance to love. Here, Watts fundamentally challenges these assumptions, drawing on the precepts of Taoism to present an alternative vision of man and the universe—one in which the distinctions between self and other, spirit and matter give way to a

INGRAM PUBLISHER SERVICES US Godel A Life of Logic the Mind and Mathematics
Book SynopsisKurt Gödel was an intellectual giant. His Incompleteness Theorem turned not only mathematics but also the whole world of science and philosophy on its head. Shattering hopes that logic would, in the end, allow us a complete understanding of the universe, Gödel''s theorem also raised many provocative questions: What are the limits of rational thought? Can we ever fully understand the machines we build? Or the inner workings of our own minds? How should mathematicians proceed in the absence of complete certainty about their results? Equally legendary were Gödel''s eccentricities, his close friendship with Albert Einstein, and his paranoid fear of germs that eventually led to his death from self-starvation. Now, in the first book for a general audience on this strange and brilliant thinker, John Casti and Werner DePauli bring the legend to life.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers The Battle for the American Mind
Book SynopsisThe Battle for the American Mind brings together religion, politics, economics, science, and literature to present a compelling history of the American people. In this brief and entertaining book, noted historian Carl J. Richard argues that there have been three worldviews that have dominated American thoughttheism, humanism, and skepticism. Theists put their faith in God, humanists in man, and skeptics have faith in neither god nor man. Each worldview has had an epoch of domination, leading to the present Age of Confusion where theists, humanists, and skeptics battle one another for control of American hearts and minds. By clearly explaining what Americans believed, exploring why they did so, and showing how that impacted the nation''s development, Carl J. Richard presents a unique portrait of the United Statespast and present.Trade ReviewThis book, with its recognition that historical currents are often circular, would be a welcome addition to public libraries and undergraduate collections. * Library Journal *Carl J. Richard's The Battle for the American Mind is a provocative, well-written interpretation of American intellectual history 'for general readers' that is designed to further discussion of ideas rather than answer all scholarly questions. . . . The book would be a solid assignment for undergraduates and an informative study for the general reader, Richard's intended audience. -- Adam L. Tate, Clayton State University * Journal of Southern History *An ambitious and original book. Instead of 'explaining' America from the perspective of gender, race, class, economics or some other social science, Richard talks about the influence of worldviews on the development of the United States and so casts an interesting light on the development of America from its European origins through the colonial period, the Founding and down to today. -- E. Christian Kopff, University of Colorado, BoulderThe author had a good thematic approach. -- George Cotkin, California Polytechnic State University * American Historical Review *Succinct, incisive and selective, Carl Richard provides an engaging historical orientation to American intellectual life and its European antecedents. -- Daniel Walker Howe, Oxford and UCLATable of ContentsIntroduction Unit I: The Age of Theism Chapter 1: The Protestant Reformation: The Crucible of American Theism Chapter 2: Early American Protestantism Unit II: The Age of Humanism Chapter 3: The Rise of Modern Humanism Chapter 4: The Origins and Varieties of Republicanism Chapter 5: Economic Theories Chapter 6: Revivalism, Reform, and Romanticism in the Antebellum Period Unit III: The Age of Skepticism Chapter 7: The Rise of Modern Skepticism Chapter 8: Pragmatism Unit IV: The Age of Confusion Chapter 9: American Thought since World War II Bibliographical Suggestions

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Frege
Book SynopsisThis new book offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to Frege''s remarkable philosophical work, examining the main areas of his writings and demonstrating the connections between them. Frege''s main contribution to philosophy spans philosophical logic, the theory of meaning, mathematical logic and the philosophy of mathematics. The book clearly explains and assesses Frege''s work in these areas, systematically examining his major concepts, and revealing the links between them. The emphasis is on Frege''s highly influential work in philosophical logic and the theory of meaning, including the features of his logic, his conceptions of object, concept and function, and his seminal distinction between sense and reference. Frege will be invaluable for students of the philosophy of language, philosophical logic, and analytic philosophy.Trade Review'Noonan's book provides a careful and painstaking, yet readily accessible, exposition of Frege's principal doctrines. His evident sympathy with Frege's views never interferes with a searchingly critical assessment. Whilst many important claims in the book are far from being uncontroversial, its final two chapters - on Frege's philosophical logic and theory of meaning - must rank among the best discussions available.'
