  Philosophy for Gardeners (eBook, PDF)

  Explore ideas, consider the big questions and learn life lessons in your garden. Gardening is an innately thoughtful as well as practical pastime: planning ahead, imagining how plants will grow, deciding what will make a 'good' garden, wondering at the beauty of flowers and noticing how ecosystems work. This delightful and engaging collection of essays illustrate how many philosophical ideas arise naturally in gardeners' everyday work. Growers by their nature are in fact already philosophers: existentialists who try to live and work by their own rules in a garden; stoics who put up with slug damage again and again, and try to work in harmony with nature;and practical quantum scientists who witness incredible processes going on in plant cells beneath the ground. In Philosophy for Gardeners, Kate Collyns uses aspects of gardening to introduce and explore a range of philosophical ideas and schools of thought; cultivating a greater understanding and appreciation of intriguing concepts, propagated from science, evolution and aesthetics through to politics, economics and ethics. Broken into four sections, Soil, Growth, Harvest and Cycles, each section explores questions of philosophy through the lens of the garden. A fascinating read, this book is as perfect for students of philosophy as it is for gardeners, filled with thought-provoking reflections on life, being and existence.

  Fake History

  'A brilliant and important book ... Five Stars!' Mark Dolan, talkRADIO'An important new book' Daily Express An alternative history of the world that exposes some of the biggest lies ever told and how they've been used over time.Lincoln did not believe all men were created equal.The Aztecs were not slaughtered by the Spanish Conquistadors.And Churchill was not the man that people love to remember.In this fascinating new book, journalist and author Otto English takes ten great lies from history and shows how our present continues to be manipulated by the fabrications of the past.He looks at how so much of what we take to be historical fact is, in fact, fiction. From the myths of WW2 to the adventures of Columbus, and from the self-serving legends of 'great men' to the origins of curry - fake history is everywhere and used ever more to impact our modern world.Setting out to redress the balance, English tears apart the lies propagated by politicians and think tanks, the grand narratives spun by populists and the media, the stories on your friend's Facebook feed and the tales you were told in childhood. And, in doing so, reclaims the truth from those who have perverted it.Fake History exposes everything you weren't told in school and why you weren't taught it.

  Economism: Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 434min

  Here is a bracing deconstruction of the framework for understanding the world that is learned as gospel in Economics 101, regardless of its imaginary assumptions and misleading half truths. Economism: an ideology that distorts the valid principles and tools of introductory college economics, propagated by self-styled experts, zealous lobbyists, clueless politicians, and ignorant pundits. In order to illuminate the fallacies of economism, James Kwak first offers a primer on supply and demand, market equilibrium, and social welfare: the underpinnings of most popular economic arguments. Then he provides a historical account of how economism became a prevalent mode of thought in the United States - focusing on the people who packaged Econ 101 into sound bites that were then repeated until they took on the aura of truth. He shows us how issues of moment in contemporary American society - labor markets, taxes, finance, health care, and international trade, among others - are shaped by economism, demonstrating in each case with clarity and élan how, because of its failure to reflect the complexities of our world, economism has had a deleterious influence on policies that affect hundreds of millions of Americans. ungekürzt.

  Die Lesbarkeit der Romantik

  What is Romanticism? To answer this question, it is not enough to perpetuate the established views propagated in literary studies. Instead, this volume is concerned with making readable a knowledge culture for Romanticism and its semiotic systems. The chapters reflect in an interdisciplinary manner the communication on offer from Romanticism of its own understanding of literature and art and reconstruct how in different media, discourses and aesthetic processes the â??Romanticisation of the worldâ? is projected and effected as an ordering of knowledge. Thus they provide an opportunity for the exemplary formulation of a versatile cultural hermeneutics.Was Romantik sei, ist jenseits wissenschaftlicher Auffassungen und literaturgesellschaftlicher Übereinkünfte eine stimmig kaum zu beantwortende Frage. Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes zielen darauf, der Romantikforschung neue Impulse zu geben und versuchen aus einer übergreifenden, disziplinär sich kreuzenden Konzeption heraus, exemplarische Lektüren zu entwickeln. Das Kommunikationsangebot romantischer Selbstverständigung über Literatur und Kunst wird sowohl im werkbezogenen Entstehungshorizont wie auch als historisch weiter wirkendes Potenzial gelesen. Das Anliegen, die Welt zu romantisieren, veränderte materiell, medial, diskursiv und ästhetisch den Umgang mit Wissen und dem zugehörigen Zeichenrepertoire. Die Eigenart dieser vielschichtigen, mit dem Unbestimmten spielenden Epochenbewegung und die damit verbundene Problematik eines möglichen Verstehens ihrer ebenso reichhaltigen wie widersprüchlichen Produktivität fordern dazu heraus, über kulturhermeneutisch optimierte unddifferenzierte Zugangsoptionen nachzudenken. Das Ergebnis solchen Nachdenkens zielt auf eine multiple Wissensordnung der Romantik und deren Lesbarkeit.

There are some basic terms which have to be understood. Wicca is one of the forms which still holds relevance. It is a religion that is nothing but the popularized form of neo-paganism. Gerald Gardner, the father of Wicca, has propagated this ideology as a result of which it is now known as Gardnerian Wicca. Witches are women but many followers of Wiccan ideologies are men as well. The followers worship both gods and goddesses. Ancient Wiccas felt that man is always subdued by nature, the earth and her creations. Human beings were just one part of the world. The main idea behind sustainable development to maintain the balance, as well as the equilibrium, was the main concept behind the beliefs of the ancient Wiccans. Whatever was taught in Wicca is drastically different from the views of the man on earth today.You will also learn:Wiccan beliefsBelief in God Magic Witchcraft  The Five Elements  DeathInitiationWiccan calendarWiccan deitiesThe infinite oneMasculine and feminine polarityGod and GoddessElementsWiccan altar - the use of the altar in WiccaCommon herbs and attributes (List of Herbs)Use for magic  Poison pathCrystals Essential oilsCandle magic Magic circles Tarots MusicAstrologyInitiationPreparatory exercisesRitual consecration A ritual of celebration and magic for the Autumn Equinox (4/5 spells) ungekürzt.

  Creating Change Through Humanism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 301min

  Humanism is "the radical idea that you can be good without a god". That's how Roy Speckhardt, the longtime executive director of the American Humanist Association, defines it. His new audiobook, Creating Change Through Humanism, lays out how and why people can lead moral and ethical lives without belief in a higher power. While surveys show that more and more Americans are giving up on religion, merely abandoning traditional religious faith is just one step on a path to a better way of thinking. Speckhardt explains how to take the next steps with the empathy and activism that characterize humanism today. Humanism has inspired generations of individuals to improve themselves, their communities, and their country. Creating Change Through Humanism describes how a humanist life-stance has influenced and can continue to advance acceptance, diversity, and equality. Humanist ideals pervaded the US from its founding, starting with the innovative idea of separating church and state to maintain a religiously neutral government. Humanism has continued to propel our nation toward social progress by promoting basic human rights and dignity. The humanist movement, with its forward-thinking outlook and emphasis on critical thinking and self-reflection, has been at the forefront of such pressing social issues as civil rights, women's rights, LGBTQ equality, responsible scientific freedom, and the environment and population dynamics. Speckhardt interweaves personal stories, including his own, of individuals who have journeyed from organized religion to humanistic convictions. He encourages his listeners to be open about their own lack of belief and to become active in social and political causes, so they can put their positive values into action and combat the anti-humanist prejudice propagated by the religious right. ungekürzt.

  Language Usage and Language Structure

  During most of the 20th century, the classical Saussurean distinction between language usage and language structure remained untranscendable in much linguistic theory. The dominant view, propagated in particular by generative grammar, was that there are structural facts and usage facts, and that in principle the former are independent of, and can be described in complete isolation from, the latter. With the appearance of functional-cognitive approaches on the scene, this view has been challenged. The view of structure as usage-based has had two consequences that make time ripe for a focused study of the interaction between usage and structure. Within the generative camp it has inspired a more explicit and precise description of the status of usage. Within the functional-cognitive camp it has blurred the status of structure. Perhaps because functionalists and cognitivists have had to position themselves in relation to generative grammar, some have emphasized the role of usage facts to the extent that structure is largely ignored. Accounts of language usage, language acquisition and language change are impossible without an assumption about what it is that is being used, acquired, or subjected to change. And more moderate functionalists and cognitive functionalists recognize both structural facts and usage facts as genuine facts central to the understanding of language. Still, the linguistic literature that shares this position does not abound with explicit, precise characterizations of the relationship between usage and structure. The present volume brings together scholars from different theoretical positions to address theoretical and methodological aspects of the relation between language usage and structure. The contributors differ with respect to how they conceive of this relation and, more basically, with respect to how they conceive of linguistic structure. What they have in common, however, is that they recognize structure and usage as non-reducible linguistic phenomena and take seriously the challenge to describe the relation between them.During most of the 20th century, the classical Saussurean distinction between language usage and language structure remained untranscendable in much linguistic theory.

  The Didache: The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles: A Different Faith - A Different Salvation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 172min

  What form did Christianity take in the first 30 years? Before the Jewish Christians were slaughtered by Rome and before the emergence of the Pauline sect, while the faith was still under the guiding hand of James, the brother of Jesus, what did the pure and unaltered church look like?  By examining the Didache, the "Q" document, and the book of James we will look back into the first years of the faith. The difference between the beliefs of the apostles and modern Christianity will astonish you. The Didache is a manual written by the early Christians, a break away sect of Judaism, instructing converts on how to be Christians and how to conduct themselves in daily life. It is a magnificent view of the beliefs and rituals of the earliest form of Christianity as propagated by those who knew Jesus best; his brother and the original apostles.  By the time of the Roman massacre of the Jews (66 C.E. - 70 C.E.) there were three major division in early Christianity: the original Jewish Christians, the gnostic Christians, and the quickly growing Pauline sect that was breaking away from its more formal Jewish roots.  There was a one in three chance of the Pauline sect becoming the template of the Christianity of today. Had the war between the Romans and Jews not happened or had Paul failed to convert enough gentiles to his sect to outnumber those who followed James we could have a Messianic Jewish-based Christianity today. Our canon and our worship would be different, but because it would have been accepted, orthodox, and traditional, Christians would follow it as they follow the Pauline sect now. It is only by chance, or by the hand of god that the Didache is not the main document of catechism in the church today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Prodehl.
