Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy - Exploring the Philosophical Depths of Mathematics and Logic

Bertrand Russell

Summary

In "Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy," Bertrand Russell masterfully explores the foundational concepts of logic and mathematics, illuminating their intricate interconnections. This seminal work, characterized by its clear and accessible prose, addresses complex ideas such as relation, number, and infinity, seeking to demystify mathematical logic for a broader audience. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century philosophical inquiry, Russell's writing reflects the burgeoning interest in analytical philosophy, as he deftly navigates between rigorous scholarship and an engaging narrative style. Russell, a prominent British philosopher and logician, was intricately involved in the development of modern logic and the philosophy of mathematics. His experiences with the intricacies of formal logic, along with his critical examinations of previous philosophical traditions, drive the analysis presented in this text. Influenced by his contemporaries and the mathematical revolution of his time, Russell sought to bridge the gap between abstract mathematical concepts and everyday understanding, making these ideas accessible to non-specialists. This book is an indispensable read for anyone interested in the philosophy of mathematics, logic, or the history of ideas. Russell's insights not only lay the groundwork for future philosophical discourse but also challenge readers to reconsider their understanding of mathematics itself. Whether you are a student, a scholar, or simply a curious mind, Russell's exploration promises to enrich your intellectual journey.

Liber Null & Psychonaut - The...

Peter J Carroll

“The most original and probably the most important writer on Magick since Aleister Crowley."—Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Prometheus Rising and other worksPeter Carroll’s classic work has been profound influence on the Western magical world and on the practice of chaos magick in particular. In Liber Null and Psychonaut, Carroll presents an approach to the practice of magic that draws on the foundations of shamanism and animism, as well as that found in the Greek magical papyri, the occult works of Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley, and the esoteric meditative practices of classical India and China. Also very much at work in the text are 20th century scientific ideas of quantum physics and chaos theory.The result is a profoundly original work of magical studies that also includes a selection of extremely powerful rituals and exercises for committed occultists with instructions that lead the reader through new concepts and practices to achieve Carroll’s definition of magic itself: the raising of the whole individual in perfect balance to the power of infinity.This Weiser Classics edition is a thoroughly revised republication of Liber Null and Psychonaut, first published by Weiser in 1987, and includes a new foreword by Ronald Hutton, a leading authority on modern witchcraft and paganism.

Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

Martin K. Ettington

Ball Lightning is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings of these weird balls. 
It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon are included too. 
There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.

Walk the Lyme

Taylor Nelson

If you have Lyme disease, you know firsthand the desperation that comes from being misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and misdirected. You need straight answers and real solutions, but all you get is the runaround. Riding high as a hard-driving entrepreneur in the solar industry, Taylor Nelson contracted Lyme disease in his midtwenties. Spiraling down swiftly, he tried everything to feel like himself again, turning himself into a human guinea pig. He took coffee enemas and gave himself ozone injections. Police officers transported him to a psychiatric hospital (he talked his way out), and he gave sales sermons while on LSD—all because of Lyme. Years of experimentation and determination taught him how to manage a disease that can seem unmanageable.Candid and raw, Nelson doesn’t hold back. He shares his deeply personal story, what he tried, how it worked, and how to live a full life in the face of a devastating disease.
