A Treatise on the Nature of Life: A Cartesian Perspective

A Treatise on the Nature of Life: A Cartesian Perspective

Kurt Louis Hanson

Hanscyrus LLC
2017
nidottu
Three seemingly unanswerable questions first pondered by the sages of antiquity: how did all this get here? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? were introduced to me during my early teen years of biological existence upon this good earth. Following decades I would entertain myself during moments of places to go, people to see, and things to do with the desire to bring answers to these three questions. My tome, A Treatise on the Nature of Life was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office on the eleventh day of June 1984. What caused me to seek copyright status to this first initial collection of thoughts was after a lucid flash of insight allowed me to realize the application of simple Cartesian mathematics upon the several different forms of biological life I had categorized. The Cartesian graphs involve polar opposites: pain paired with joy, love paired with hate, and my treatise is written such that those four elementary, grade-school level words (and others I utilize within the graphs of my treatise) are interchangeable and synonymous with other concise, esoteric words depending upon context. My paper is written intending for the ideas to be quickly transmitted and understood by a young person with a remedial understanding of the sciences and also to those honored with summa cum laude. My treatise collates similarities found within the simple one-celled organism on up to the human form of life. What was for months of reading and editing only a progression of thoughts transmitted by reading from a medium of ink and paper and then pondered upon in the confines of mind, by utilizing Cartesian graphs to categorize each of the simple-to-complex types of life forms, for the first time I had surprisingly transformed a mundane read of my treatise into an almost magical portal where I found myself as if perched within another dimension "outside" of this four dimensional universe of space and time we exist inside of. This perch I speak of is a vista view as if I were sharing a place, situated adjacent to God, and enabling me to also focus on certain biological parameters from the many types of life forms. I have incorporated my treatise into a 120,000+ word manuscript entitled, My Quest For Computer Cognition.

Diderot

Diderot

Kurt Ballstadt

Voltaire Foundation
2008
nidottu
One of the most eclectic and enigmatic of the philosophes, Denis Diderot left an intellectual legacy that has the capacity to stimulate, perplex and even confound. Particularly challenging are his writings on the natural sciences, an area largely neglected by scholars over the past fifty years.In Diderot: natural philosopher Kurt Ballstadt examines the entirety of Diderot’s scientific works from the Lettre sur les aveugles to the Eléments de physiologie, investigating his fascination with mathematics, experimental physics, chemistry, natural history and medicine, and drawing out the crucial points of contact between these disciplines. Diderot is shown to have a well-constructed philosophy of science and an integrated, sophisticated vision of how the world functions. We are led away from the image of a radical Diderot, champion of disorder, to an analysis of a more systematic thinker whose underlying search for structure characterized both his attitude to the world around him, and the way he wrote about it.Situating these writings on natural philosophy in the intellectual landscape of the Enlightenment, this book will engage Diderot scholars and historians of eighteenth-century science alike.

Battle Creek

Battle Creek

Kurt Thornton

Arcadia Publishing (SC)
2004
nidottu
In 1825, two government surveyors platting the southwest Michigan territory engaged in a small skirmish with two Native Americans. With a humorous nod, the surveyors gave the name Battle Creek to the river where this encounter took place. A few years later, a group of entrepreneurs, led by Sands McCamly, established a milling community and named it after the river. Thus the city of Battle Creek had its start. Over the following 170 years, it has grown into a thriving community of culture and character. This book uses historical photos and rare illustrations to trace Battle Creek's chronological development, from its water-powered mills, its railroads and factories, and its identity as a major stop on the Underground Railroad to its eventual pre-eminence as the "Cereal City."

Freud's Foes

Freud's Foes

Kurt Jacobsen

Rowman Littlefield Publishers
2009
sidottu
Freud's Foes, the latest title in the Polemics series, addresses Freud's fiercest contemporary critics. Kurt Jacobsen defends psychoanalysis, while accepting that it has inherent flaws. He argues that although today's 'foes' pose as daring savants, they are only the latest wave of critics that psychoanalysis has encountered since its controversial birth, and he easily debunks their arguments.

Maverick Voices

Kurt Jacobsen

Rowman Littlefield Publishers
2004
nidottu
Mavericks may not make the world go around, but they do make it an infinitely more interesting place. Maverick Voices offers in-depth interviews with prominent iconoclasts stubbornly at work in the interlacing realms of politics, literature, film, art, and psychotherapy. These highly accomplished people, who hail from the USA, Europe, and Latin America, thrived in their fields against the odds, often gaining worldwide acclaim. They are exemplars of a rare breed of fiercely independent, creative, and committed artists and activists who shake things up, shatter barriers, and scorn taboos. These conversations probe the wellsprings of their work, their struggles, and their achievements. Whether defying a death squad, exposing government lies, challenging censors, writing graphic accounts of how war reallly feels, puncturing cherished national myths, making zesty, sexy, crazy films, or finding ingenious ways to heal deeply disturbed kids, they contribute to a more fascinating and humane world and they appeal to the maverick at play or at bay in all of us.

Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy

Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy

Kurt Brandhorst

Edinburgh University Press
2010
sidottu
Descartes' Meditations is one of the first texts that a philosophy student will study, and one that many come back to time and again. Rather than simply telling the reader what to think, Meditations invites us to take a philosophical journey. This book prepares readers for that journey, helping them to engage with each of the meditations and suggesting ways through the more difficult passages. This guide also offers students a fresh approach by bringing to life the path of self-discovery encapsulated in the work, while maintaining the emphasis on metaphysics. By focusing on what the text itself has to say, rather than what has been said about it by others, it will help readers at all levels to discover - or rediscover - why Descartes' Meditations is one of the cornerstones of philosophy.

Celtic Politics

Celtic Politics

Kurt W. Jefferson

University Press of America
2011
nidottu
Celtic Politics offers a model of politics that facilitates the analysis of the Celtic fringe in the political life of Great Britain and Ireland. It is a much-needed corrective to the standard academic approach to British, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish politics and history. This book will help readers conceptualize and understand the Scots, Irish, and Welsh, as well as their interconnected political contexts and systems. Politics in twenty-first century Britain and Ireland have recently seen a rise in ethno-nationalism. This is due to the institutional changes, transformations of political cultures, and geo-political alterations that took place in the latter decades of the twentieth century, widely impacting the status of Celtic nations. Celtic Politics provides a concise explanation of the political development of these nations and illuminates the overall historical significance of this region.
