Between the Shadow and the Flame

Between the Shadow and the Flame

Geoffrey Lee Hodge

Penumbra Invictus Publishing
2012
nidottu
Epic in scope, Between the Shadow and the Flame is the allegorical retelling of the history of philosophy, seen through the journey of its three main characters. When a pandemic and ensuing nuclear war all but destroy civilization, and conspiracy theorists whisper of a plot to wipe out humanity, armchair philosopher Sophia Xiao is caught up in a quest to find the truth. Shadowed by a mysterious figure, she travels across a devastated land with Newman, a former theology student, and Hyle, a snarky young science writer, as they evade paramilitary death squads, encounter pockets of survivors, and match wits with the charismatic cult leader who has prophesied her role in the coming battle at the end of days. Between the Shadow and the Flame skillfully integrates a suspenseful mystery plot with a serious inquiry into the structure of reality and knowledge, developing the main themes of philosophy, theology and science through a series of dialogues between the protagonists. This unique, thought-provoking novel introduces the reader to more than two millennia of ideas from over one hundred thinkers who helped shape our modern view of the world, including Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Avicenna, Aquinas, Luther, Galileo, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Newton, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, James, Freud, Einstein, Russell, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Sartre, and Kuhn, and delves into topics such as determinism, metaphysics, quantum physics and relativity, humanism and spirituality, epistemology and the philosophy of science, and the limitations of mathematics, logic and language. As they investigate the causes of the war, Sophia, Hyle and Newman draw on their diverse backgrounds and collective knowledge to examine age-old questions: Does God exist, or is the material world all there is? Can religion coexist with science? Do we have free will? Is certain knowledge possible? What is the structure of reality? An entertaining introduction to philosophy and a compelling examination of philosophy's role in the world, Between the Shadow and the Flame will challenge your beliefs and keep you turning pages until the full impact of these questions is revealed in the provocative conclusion.

Reading Geoffrey Chaucer

Robert J. Meyer-Lee

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
Reading Geoffrey Chaucer: An Introduction offers students, general readers, and teachers an accessible series of essays on select works by Chaucer that emphasizes how those works’ deepest concerns and most fraught complexities remain urgently relevant in our present day. Each chapter connects Chaucer’s world with particular problems of our own, such as autocratic patriarchal social orders and geopolitical religious/racial conflict. Introducing modern critical approaches to those problems – gender studies and postcolonial theory, for example – each chapter provides in-depth discussion of how Chaucer explores their nature, implications, and consequences by way of his distinctive literary idiom. Texts covered include the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales and the tales told by the Knight, Miller, Man of Law, Wife of Bath, Pardoner, and Prioress and the House of Fame, Legend of Good Women, and Troilus and Criseyde. Each chapter is self-contained, supplying essential backgrounds along with full summaries of the works under discussion. But the book is also criss-crossed with recurrent inquiries, which collectively trace some of the most characteristic qualities of Chaucer’s writing. With its unusual combination of breadth and depth, this introduction to Chaucer helps readers at all levels of familiarity appreciate why his work continues to matter.

Celestials

It's time for something new. Something else. Five minutes of watching the news will show that a transition is occurring that is far more sweeping even than the last mass extinction event when the dinosaurs were wiped out. At that time, the blackboard got erased so that a new class could begin. This time, the blackboard itself is being removed. We have graduated from this class.Physical reality was training wheels, for millions, even billions of years. What a school this has been But contemporary physics is showing us that it never was what we thought it was. What we always thought was rock solid is now known to be energy, psychological. Virtual, even. More like watching a movie, or playing a video game. The world is beginning to resemble a holodeck, custom designed for each individual's educational and entertainment needs. Showing us the contents of our consciousness like a living, moving mirror. Every individual, every mountain, every star is showing us an aspect of ourselves. Even a holocaust, a apocalypse -- even a mass extinction event -- is simply showing us who and what and where we are. We are being told it is time to go. The final exam was, in fact, grasping the fact that THE WORLD IS WHO WE ARE.From now on, wherever we go, we will know this truth. That our environment is simply an extension of us, like a second body. We will love this second body as we love ourselves. We will carry this world-self with us wherever we go now. Nothing is lost. A new meta-awareness has been bestowed upon us, like a new species. Heavenly, bright, not of this world. An ethereal embodiment of love. The dinosaurs had to be eradicated to make room for us. And we had to be eradicated to make room for: the CELESTIALS.

Rural Tourism Development through a Creative Food Economy

Rural Tourism Development through a Creative Food Economy

Anne H J Lee; Geoffrey Wall

LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
2018
pokkari
This work provides a conceptual foundation for culinary tourism as a part of the development a creative food economy involving place branding. It analyzes the formation of culinary clusters that result from innovation in the production and consumption of local food. Porter's (1990) clustering model is used as a point of departure but is modified substantially to fit a situation in which tourism and agriculture are the leading sectors. Four key elements are specified in the new model: 'environmentally friendly movement', 'leadership', 'stakeholder collaboration' and 'communication and information flows'. The study makes important contributions to knowledge both conceptually and empirically by creating a model that addresses the creation of culinary clusters, by demonstrating the utility of the model through detailed case studies conducted in Ontario Canada, and practically, by directing attention to items that need careful consideration if synergistic relationships are to be established between agriculture and tourism through the development of culinary clusters as part of place-based rural economic development.

A Legacy of Discrimination

A Legacy of Discrimination

Lee C. Bollinger; Geoffrey R. Stone

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2023
sidottu
A timely defense of affirmative action policies that offers a more nuanced understanding of how centuries of invidious racism, discrimination, and segregation in the United States led to and justifies such policies from both a moral and constitutional perspective. Since 1961, the issue of "affirmative action" has been a hotly contested legal and political issue. Intended to address our nation's often horrifying discrimination against Black Americans and other minorities, affirmative action has led over the past sixty years to far greater minority representation across a vast range of industries, government positions, and academic institutions. Nonetheless, affirmative action policies in the United States continue to fall under assault. In A Legacy of Discrimination, Lee C. Bollinger and Geoffrey R. Stone, two of America's leading constitutional scholars, trace the policy's history and the legal challenges it has faced over the decades. They argue that in order to fully comprehend affirmative action's original intent and impact, we must re-acquaint ourselves with the era in which it arose, beginning with the most important Supreme Court decision of the 20th century, 1954's Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Assessing this history, Bollinger and Stone introduce subsequent, and evolving, affirmative-action case law that had the intent and effect of constraining social, educational, and economic progress for Black people and other minority groups. They demonstrate how and why affirmative action policies stand on firm legal ground and must remain protected. Further, they explain why Americans must view affirmative action as a long-term moral commitment to secure justice, especially for Black Americans, after three and a half centuries of grave injustice that violates the most essential aspirations of our nation. A timely and robust overview of the history of our nation's historical and continuing racial discrimination and of the advent of affirmative action as a critical means to address this history, this book will serve as a powerful defense of a policy that has accomplished more than most people realize in making America a fairer and more inclusive country.

Geoffrey of Aspall, Part 1

Geoffrey of Aspall, Part 1

Oxford University Press
2017
sidottu
Geoffrey of Aspall, who died in 1287 and was master of Arts by 1262, was active at Oxford in the years 1255 to1265. He wrote commentaries on several Aristotelian works, and was certainly a major protagonist of the introduction of Aristotelian learning to Oxford. In particular, he produced a very extensive question-style commentary on Aristotle's Physics, which contains important discussions of the fundamental topics of Aristotle's natural philosophy, like matter, form, natural agency, causes, change, the infinite and the continuum, time, the eternity of the world, self-movers. Aspall's Physics commentary shows the influence of Grosseteste's metaphysics of light and of Roger Bacon's view on the physical role of intentional species, as well as a strong inclination to ontological realism. Aspall's commentary on Aristotle's Physics is edited here in two volumes, which together form the first critical edition of this work. The Latin text is accompanied by a facing English translation, and the text is extensively cross-referenced and provided with scholarly apparatus. The detailed introduction guides the reader through the intricacies of the textual transmission of Aspall's commentary, and also presents the main topics discussed in this commentary. The appendix to the edition makes available alternative versions of some sections of Aspall's commentary.
