A Treatise of Human Nature - Enriched edition

David Hume

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

David Hume's "A Treatise of Human Nature," originally published in 1739, stands as a seminal work in the fields of philosophy and psychology. Crafted in a systematic and empirical literary style, Hume seeks to explore the foundations of human understanding, arguing that reason is often the slave of the passions. The text is structured around a rigorous examination of human psychology, encompassing topics such as perception, emotion, and morality, thereby situating itself within the broader context of Enlightenment thought. Hume's inquiry into the nature of knowledge and belief questions the conventional wisdom of his time, marking his work as a precursor to modern philosophical thought. David Hume (1711-1776) was a Scottish philosopher and historian, known for his empirical approach to human inquiry. His interest in human nature was deeply influenced by his own experiences of skepticism, coupled with the intellectual milieu of the Scottish Enlightenment. Hume's dedication to reason, ethics, and human behavior shaped his perspective, leading him to challenge dogmatic views and propose a new understanding of human actions and social interactions. "A Treatise of Human Nature" is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of philosophical thought and the dynamics of human behavior. Hume's profound insights and eloquent prose make the work not only crucial for students of philosophy but also accessible to general readers seeking to understand the complexities of human nature.

Neural Science - Understanding...

Marcio Ortíz, Miguel Vaquero

These three titles are included in this 3-in-1 bundle:
1 - The ability for the brain to encode, store, and recall information is known as memory. Experience serves as a roadmap for future action.
Memory includes both consciously recalled facts and experienced details as well as deeply embedded knowledge that pops up without thought or even awareness. It serves as both a temporary information storage space and a more lasting record of what has been learned. Scientists have identified several different types of memory, including episodic, semantic, procedural, working, sensory, and prospective memory.
From the vivid memories of episodic memory to the practical knowledge of procedural memory, each type of memory has a specific purpose.
2 - Your subconscious is a priceless potential repository of information, insight, and wisdom. But the majority of us never use that talent to its fullest.
Using hypnosis, you can access your subconscious. You can communicate with it immediately when under hypnosis. This can assist you in obtaining important knowledge and bringing about positive changes in your life.
Your subconscious is the area of your mind that generally escapes your awareness yet has a significant impact on how you live.
For instance, your subconscious has a role in controlling such essential bodily processes as breathing and heartbeat.
3 - The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields.
Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons.

This Is My Jail - Local Politics...

Melanie Newport

While state and federal prisons like Attica and Alcatraz occupy a central place in the national consciousness, most incarceration in the US occurs within the walls of local jails. In This Is My Jail, Melanie D. Newport situates the late twentieth-century escalation of mass incarceration in a longer history of racialized, politically repressive jailing. Centering the political actions of people until now overlooked—jailed people, wardens, corrections officers, sheriffs, and the countless community members who battled over the functions and impact of jails—Newport shows how local, grassroots contestation shaped the rise of the carceral state. 
 
 
 
As ground zero for struggles over criminal justice reform, jails in Chicago and Cook County were models for jailers and advocates across the nation who aimed to redefine jails as institutions of benevolent transformation. From a slave sale on the jail steps to new jail buildings to electronic monitoring, from therapy to job training, these efforts further criminalized jailed people and diminished their capacity to organize for their civil rights. With prisoners as famous as Al Capone, Dick Gregory, and Harold Washington, and a place in culture ranging from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle to B. B. King's Live in Cook County Jail, This Is My Jail places jails at the heart of twentieth-century urban life and politics.

The German Way of War - A Lesson...

Jaap Jan Brouwer

The German Army lost two consecutive wars and the conclusion is often drawn that it simply wasn't able to cope with its opponents. This image is constantly reinforced in literature and in the media, where seemingly brainless operating German units led by fanatical officers predominate. Nothing was as far from the truth. The records show that the Germans consistently outfought the far more numerous Allied armies that eventually defeated them: their relative battlefield performance was at least 1.5 and in most cases three times as high as that of its opponents. 
 
 
 
The central question in this book is why the German Army had a so much higher relative battlefield performance than the opposition. A central element within the Prussian/German Army is Auftragstaktik, a tactical management concept that dates from the middle of the nineteenth century and is still very advanced in terms of management and organization. 
 
 
 
Using more than fifty examples to illustrate the realities of the battlefield, the author explains why the Prussian/German Army was such an unprecedented powerful fighting force. And why Auftragstaktik—under other guises—is still the basic form of operation for many European armies, with even the US Army introducing certain elements of Auftragstaktik into its organization, more than 150 years after its conception.
