William James

A seventeen-year-old academic prodigy from a small village in central Java, Lestari wants nothing more than to become a modern, self-determined woman. But she swims against powerful currents. Raised by her father, the revered guardian of an active volcano, she joins the many offerings to the sacred mountain yet begins to question their effectiveness. The more Lestari learns about science and geology, it seems, the less she believes in ritual. When a young Dutch entrepreneur arrives in their village to explore Indonesia’s potential for geothermal energy, Lestari befriends and falls for the charming stranger, and the rift between father and daughter widens. In the weeks leading up to her high school graduation, the volcano begins to erupt, blanketing the village in ash. Shockingly, a set of tiger prints is discovered in the dust, sending villagers into a panic.What follows is the haunting, unforgettable story of a daughter’s search for truth and a father’s unyielding loyalty. It is about the courage to question tradition, the faith to uphold it, and the love that ultimately binds them together.

Todellisen moneus on psykologian pioneerin ja pragmatismifilosofin William Jamesin (1842-1910) myöhäinen pääteos. Sen mukaan todellisuus ei ole yksi vaan monta. Se on elävä virta, jossa asiat limittyvät ja sekoittuvat sekä muodostavat itseään suurempia kokonaisuuksia. Se on myös hajotettavissa osiin.Ihmiset ja kasvit sekä eläimet, planeetat ja tähdet sekä uskontojen jumalat kuuluvat kaikki samaan universumiin, joka koetaan pluralistisesti pala palalta ja aistimus aistimukselta, saavuttamatta koskaan kaiken kattavaa kokonaisnäkemystä. Vain äärellisinä olemme maailmassa kotonamme. Meidän on varottava, ettei äärettömyyksiin kurottava käsitteellinen älymme tee omasta maailmastamme asumiskelvotonta.Oxfordin yliopistossa vuonna 1908 pidettyyn luentosarjaan perustuva teos tuo yhteen ne psykologiset, filosofiset ja uskonnolliset teemat, joita James on käsitellyt tunnetuissa teoksissaan kuten Pragmatismi ja Uskonnollinen kokemus. Viimeiseksi jääneessä teoksessaan James kehittää pluralismiksi kutsumaansa metafyysistä näkemystä, jossa maailma jakautuu yhtä moneksi ja monenlaiseksi kuin on tietoisuuksia sitä jakamassa. Pohdinnan tulos on vakuuttava ja häkellyttävän tuore: emme voi varmuudella tietää, missä aineen ja tietoisuuden raja kulloinkin kulkee.William James lukeutuu modernin ajan merkittävimpiin ajattelijoihin. Todellisen moneus on syvällinen ja rohkea teos, jossa Jamesin pitkä filosofinen ura saa kirkkaimman kruununsa.Kääntäjä Hannu Poutiainen on filosofian tohtori, joka toimii tutkijana Tampereen yliopistossa.
