About the Author
David Bohm (1917-92). Renowned physicist and theorist who was one of the most original thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century
About the Author
The late David Bohm was Emeritus Professor of Physics at Birbeck College, University of London. He was the author of numerous articles and books, including Wholeness and the Implicate Order and The Undivided Universe (with Basil Hiley).
About the Author
David Bohm was one of the foremost scientific thinkers and philosophers of our time. Although deeply influenced by Einstein, he was also, more unusually for a scientist, inspired by mysticism. Indeed, in the 1970s and 1980s he made contact with both J. Krishnamurti and the Dalai Lama whose teachings helped shape his work. In both science and philosophy, Bohm's main concern was with understanding the nature of reality in general and of consciousness in particular. In this classic work he develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of existence as an unbroken whole. Writing clearly and without technical jargon, he makes complex ideas accessible to anyone interested in the nature of reality.
From the Back Cover
In 'The Undivided Universe, ' Professor David Bohm, one of the foremost scientific thinkers and one of the most distinguished physicists of his generation, presents a radically different approach to quantum theory.

About this Book
Although 19th-century philosopher and scientist Charles Sanders Peirce was a prolific writer, he never published his work on signs in any organized fashion, making it difficult to grasp the scope of his thought. In this book, Liszka presents a systematic and comprehensive account of Peirce's theory, including the role of semiotic in the system of sciences, with a detailed analysis of its three main branches―grammar, critical logic, and universal rhetoric.

About this Book
Bakhtin discusses literature and language in general, which he sees as stratified, constantly changing systems of subgenres, dialects, and fragmented "languages" in an otherness relationship with one another.
About this Book
The topics of authoring, responsibility, self and other, the moral significance of "outsideness," participatory thinking, the implications for the individual subject of having "no-alibi in existence," the difference between the world as experienced in actions and the world as represented in discourse—all are broached here in the heat of discovery. This is the "heart of the heart" of Bakhtin, the center of the dialogue between being and language, the world and mind, "the given" and "the created".

About this Book
Kōjin Karatani questions the idealization of ancient Athens as the source of philosophy and democracy by placing the origins instead in Ionia, a set of Greek colonies located in present-day Turkey. Contrasting Athenian democracy with Ionian isonomia. Karatani shows how early Greek thinkers from Heraclitus to Pythagoras were inseparably linked to the isonomia of their Ionian origins, not democracy. He finds in isonomia a model for how an egalitarian society not driven by class antagonism might be put into practice and resituates Socrates's work and that of his intellectual heirs as the last philosophical attempts to practice isonomia's utopic potentials. Karatani subtly interrogates the democratic commitments of Western philosophy from within and argues that the key to transcending their contradictions lies not in Athenian democracy, with its echoes of imperialism, slavery, and exclusion, but in the openness of isonomia.
About this Book
Exposing the religious roots of our ostensibly godless age, Michael Allen Gillespie reveals in this landmark study that modernity is much less secular than conventional wisdom suggests. Taking as his starting point the collapse of the medieval world, Gillespie argues that from the very beginning moderns sought not to eliminate religion but to support a new view of religion and its place in human life. He goes on to explore the ideas of such figures as William of Ockham, Petrarch, Erasmus, Luther, Descartes, and Hobbes, showing that modernity is best understood as a series of attempts to formulate a new (nominalism, ontological individualism, dualism) metaphysics or theology and the speed of its spread with the invention of the printing press. An interesting study on the possible origins of Western divisiveness and ontological fragmentations.

About this Book
The immense reaches of Alfred North Whitehead's thought―in philosophy, religion, science, statesmanship, education, literature, art and conduct of life―are gathered and edited by critic and writer Lucien Price. ... Keep in mind that some scholars think that “Price’s Whitehead” should be thought of in the same way we refer to “Plato’s Socrates”. In other words, keep in mind that this is Lucien Price's perspective from his subjective memory (a wonderful example of how meaning can be influenced or stifled by the cognitive map of the interpreter). One should always dig a little deeper into Whitehead's direct works for better understanding of this brilliant man.
