On the theory of the infinite in modern thought : Two introductory studies

Eleanor F. Jourdain

Sinopse

In "On the Theory of the Infinite in Modern Thought: Two Introductory Studies," Eleanor F. Jourdain explores the complexities of infinity as a concept that has bedeviled philosophers and mathematicians alike. Employing a rigorous analytical style, Jourdain discusses the evolution of the theory of the infinite, tracing its lineage through historical and contemporary thought. The book is structured into two parts, providing a conceptual framework that integrates mathematical rigor with philosophical inquiry. Jourdain elegantly navigates the intersections between science, mathematics, and metaphysics, making the abstract nature of infinity accessible to the reader while situating her discourse within the broader context of early 20th-century intellectual currents. Eleanor F. Jourdain was not only a significant figure in the field of mathematics education but also a pioneering female scholar whose pen was informed by her deep interest in the intersections of philosophy and mathematics. Her background in mathematics, further enriched by her engagement with the philosophical questions surrounding infinity, uniquely positioned her to produce a work that challenges conventional boundaries. Jourdain's contributions to the understanding of infinite concepts resonate within her own lived experiences as a trailblazer in academia during a time when such pursuits were often dominated by men. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the philosophical underpinnings of mathematics, particularly those who wish to investigate the implications of infinity on modern thought. Jourdain's insights invite readers to contemplate the profound and often paradoxical nature of infinity and its influence on both mathematical theory and intellectual discourse. Scholars, students, and curious minds alike will find rich reflections within Jourdain's narrative that challenge and expand their understanding of this enigmatic concept.

Most Influential Mesoamerican...

Editors Charles River

Gilgamesh, Hercules, Aeneas, and Lancelot are instantly recognized as mythological heroes in the West, evoking visions of Persian monsters, ghastly labors, and the founding and glorification of cities, but the names of Mesoamerican gods remain as mysterious as their spelling. Even those who have come across their names when learning about the history of Mesoamerica – particularly the Aztec and various gods’ roles in the Spanish conquest of their empire – are often unaware that the Mesoamerican deities have tales that equal any of those in the repertoire of the mythological figures mentioned above.
As archaeologists quickly learned, there are numerous temples dedicated to gods all across Mesoamerica, from the Olmec and Toltec to the Aztec and Maya. Furthermore, thousands of people still gather in the ruins of Mesoamerican cities.
From the Aztec to the Maya, Quetzalcoatl - the Feathered Serpent - rears his beautiful head from magnificent relief carvings in temples no less grandiose than the largest pyramid in the region, that of Cholula in Mexico. Furthermore, thousands of people still gather in the great Mayan city of Chichén Itzá during the spring and autumn equinoxes to watch the shadow of the Feathered Serpent slither its way down the temple known as El Castillo.
To the Aztec, Huitzilopochtli wore a blue-green hummingbird helmet and was draped in pure white heron feathers. He carried a smoking mirror, an obsidian mirror, a shield, darts, and the serpent Xiuhcoatl that carried with it the fury and might of the sun. Everything about him - from his clothes to his weapons - emanated and defined royalty. His name meant Hummingbird of the South or Hummingbird of the Left (meaning the “Southern Part of the World”) in the native language of the Aztec, Nahuatl. In his kingly role he was not only irrevocably intertwined with war and conquest but also with trade, the things most important to the great Aztec Empire.

Inside The Empire - The True...

Anônimo

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A riveting look at what is really said and done behind closed doors with the New York Yankees, the most famous and wealthiest sports franchise in the world   Using the 2018 baseball season as the backdrop, Inside the Empire gives readers the real, unvarnished “straight-from-the-gut” truth from Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone, Giancarlo Stanton, C.C. Sabathia—even Hal Steinbrenner and Randy Levine—and many more.   This is baseball’s version of HBO’s award-winning NFL series “Hard Knocks.” Klapisch and Solotaroff take you deep into the Yankees clubhouse, their dugout, and the front office and pull back the curtain so that every fan can see what really goes on. Bottom line? You may think you know everything about the storied franchise of the New York Yankees and what makes them tick. But Inside the Empire will set the record straight, and drop bombshells about iconic figures along the way. There’s never been a baseball book quite like it.

The Prince

Nicoló Machiavelli

The lion cannot guard himself from the toils, nor the fox from wolves. A Prince must therefore be a fox to discern toils, and a lion to drive off wolves. The modern-day term “Machiavellian” is used to describe deception, dishonesty, and cruelty to meet a goal. The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli was written as a guide for autocrats on how to govern using means that were meant to deceive and manipulate a government’s constituency—to the extent of advocating the use of evil for political expediency. In this classic work, the end justifies the means reigns paramount to Machiavelli’s system of government.

Hate and Reconciliation -...

Guido Cuyvers

Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
 
 
 
Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.
