1000 tulosta hakusanalla Wright Stuart Thomas
The tradition of the Wright Siblings, Orville and Wilbur, remains as a getting through demonstration of human creativity and assurance in the domain of flying. Frequently viewed as the dads of present day aeronautics, the Wright Siblings were pioneers whose commitments everlastingly redirected mankind's set of experiences. Their momentous accomplishments, imaginative plans, and resolute energy for flight have made history. Orville and Wilbur Wright, brought into the world in the late nineteenth 100 years, had an unquenchable interest for the skies above. They were bike mechanics by profession, and this useful foundation in mechanics and designing gave them a special point of view when it came to settling the secrets of flight. Their devotion to trial and error and thorough testing prompted the advancement of the first fueled, controlled, and supported trip on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Falcon, North Carolina. This memorable flight, enduring only 12 seconds, steered history. The Wright Siblings' heritage stretches out past that solitary flight. They kept on refining their plans, contributing urgent developments, for example, wing twisting and a three-hub control framework that considered exact moving. These advancements made ready for present day aeronautics and the improvement of the plane as far as we might be concerned today. Their commitments to aeronautics were not restricted to their specialized developments. The Wright Siblings' obligation to sharing their insight and advancing trip with the world assumed an imperative part in the quick progression of flying innovation. Their development, the Wright Flyer, filled in as an image of human accomplishment and enlivened ages of flight devotees. Today, their heritage lives on in the endless people who have been motivated by their story, as well as in the flourishing flying industry and the tremendous organization of worldwide transportation. The Wright Siblings' spearheading soul and steady assurance keep on moving people and help us to remember the vast conceivable outcomes of human development. The narrative of the Wright Siblings is a demonstration of the force of dreams, diligence, and the persevering through tradition of two people who considered resisting gravity and impact the world.

Korrespondensen mellan de finländska filosoferna Georg Henrik von Wright (1916–2003) och Eino Kaila (1890–1958) omfattar mer än tjugo år. Den ger en unik bild av vänskapen mellan två betydande filosofer, deras tankar och utvecklingsvägar samt intryck av en ofta turbulent samtid. Man kan följa von Wrights mognad från en känslosam ung man mot den mera återhållsamma person han senare blev känd som, samtidigt som hans lärare Kaila går från faderlik förebild till jämlik kollega.Beskrivningarna av von Wrights många möten med Ludwig Wittgenstein i Cambridge ger värdefulla bidrag till bilden av en av 1900-talets viktigaste filosofer.FD Bernt Österman presenterar sammanhangen till de filosofiska frågor de båda brevskrivarna diskuterar. Han beskriver också hur det världspolitiska läget och händelser i det personliga livet hänger samman med innehållet i breven samt hur karriären och de många mötena med både finska och utländska kollegor formade von Wright och Kaila.Ges ut i samarbete med Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finland.

Vad berättar Georg Henrik von Wrights mer okända texter om hans författarskap och om vår tid? Den okände von Wright lyfter fram mindre kända sidor av den nordiska filosofins superstjärna och hans livliga samhällsengagemang, och ger helt nya infallsvinklar på hans verk och deras genomslag.I Den okände von Wright samlas ett femtiotal texter skrivna under drygt sjuttio år, från essäer och resereportage till bokrecensioner och insändare. Texterna har tidigare varit svårtillgängliga, och många har fallit helt i glömska - inte minst för att von Wright själv senare förbigick dem med tystnad.Texterna visar på von Wrights nyfikna mångsidighet och behandlar allt från existentiella frågor och idén om en annalkande ekokatastrof till kapprustningen och det svenska språkets betydelse för den finska identiteten. Hans stora intresse för skönlitteratur - Selma Lagerlöf hör till dem han gärna läste - och mera överraskande ämnesområden som Sigmund Freud och psykoanalysen, har sällan uppmärksammats tidigare. Boken lyfter också fram kontroversiella sidor av von Wright, bland annat hans insats som krigspropagandist 1939-1944.I bokens inledning och i de utförliga kommentarerna ger filosoferna Joel Backström och Thomas Wallgren perspektiv och diskuterar den kontext där texterna växt fram. Den okände von Wright är den tredje och avslutande utgåvan inom forskningsprojektet Den okände von Wright.
Georg Henrik von Wright - modernin ajan ajattelija
Gaudeamus

Georg Henrik von Wright (1916-2003) oli yksi kansainvälisesti tunnetuimmista suomalaisista filosofeista. Akateemisen uransa lisäksi hän osallistui aktiivisesti kulttuuri- ja yhteiskunnalliseen keskusteluun pohtien esimerkiksi ympäristöasioita sekä sodan ja rauhan kysymyksiä. Kärkevyyttä karttaneen von Wrightin esseet saattoivat aiheuttaa ristiriitaisiakin reaktioita.Von Wright erotti tieteelliset tekstinsä hyvin selvästi kirjallisuutta käsittelevistä ja ajankriittisistä esseistään. Jännite näiden kahden puolen välillä oli aikakaudelle ominainen mutta kuitenkin salaperäinen, ja tämä puoli hänen ajattelustaan ja tuotannostaan on jäänyt vähälle huomiolle 2000-luvulla. Teoksessa tarkastellaan von Wrightin ajattelua ja yhteiskunnallista toimintaa hänen kriittisten esseidensä pohjalta. Mitä von Wright tavoitteli, ja miksi hänen ajatuksensa koettiin niin merkittäviksi? Miten hän ymmärsi järjen, tieteen ja filosofian suhteen? Ja miksi von Wright on viime aikoina innostanut Tanskassa niin kansallismielisiä oikeistoradikaaleja kuin ympäristöliikkeen radikaalia vasemmistosiipeä?
The life and architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) have been much-studied, yet there is a consistent division between analyses of his architecture, which exclude any discussion of his daily life, and books that tell the often sensational tale of his life, with barely a passing reference to the buildings themselves. The result is that, despite the large number of volumes on Wright, the most essential part of his life - his life as an architect, working, as he said, 'in the cause of architecture' - remains virtually unexplored. "Frank Lloyd Wright" offers an account of Wright's life as an architect, the ideas, beliefs and relationships that shaped his life and work, and the manner in which these affected, and are reflected in, his architecture. During a tumultuous life and extensive career which includes such hugely defining buildings as the Guggenheim Museum, Fallingwater, Taliesin, Unity Temple, and the prolific Prairie Houses, Wright endeavoured to shape the emerging and evolving American democracy, its mode of dwelling, and its relation to the traditional conception of the city. Fusing ancient construction geometries with contemporary ideals of Transcendental philosophy, Wright sought to develop an appropriate architecture for the new world of the twentieth century. In doing so, he served as the primary inspiration for the emergence of Modern architecture around the world. Robert McCarter examines how Wright's architecture crystallized key conceptions of both private dwelling and public citizenship for American society, and relates how, through his work and writings, Wright developed relationships with key leaders of the arts, industry and society. He analyses how and why Wright maintained that architecture was the 'background or framework' for daily life, never the literal 'object' of our attention, as well as Wright's belief that architects have the most significant ethical responsibilities to improve the larger society and culture to which they belong. In exploring Wright's life, times and culture, Robert McCarter shows how Wright was an architect of astonishing ability, whose works continue to shape the world around us, fifty years after his death.
