The Egyptian Book of the Dead -...

Anônimo

The hymns, the negative confession, the weighing of the heart and the spells for coming forth by day, in the translation of the keeper of the British Museum's Egyptian antiquities. Le Page Renouf published it in parts between 1892 and 1897 and did not live to finish it; Édouard Naville completed the last chapters. It is the Theban funerary book as the papyri of the New Kingdom preserve it, with a commentary on every chapter that is still worth reading for its arguments about single words. Forty-one plates of painting, from Wilkie to Moreau, carry the Egyptian and allegorical themes of the papyri, including Oedipus and the Sphinx and Pasture, Egypt.

Reconstruction in Philosophy

John Dewey

"Reconstruction in Philosophy" by John Dewey is a groundbreaking philosophical work that challenges traditional modes of thinking and calls for a profound reevaluation of philosophical inquiry. In this transformative book, Dewey offers a compelling vision for reconstructing philosophy to better serve the needs and complexities of the modern world. With incisive intellect and deep insight, Dewey argues for a shift away from abstract metaphysical speculations and toward a more pragmatic and practical approach to philosophy. He contends that philosophy must be firmly rooted in concrete human experience and actively engaged with the social and cultural challenges of the time. Dewey explores the fundamental concepts of knowledge, truth, morality, and the nature of reality, recontextualizing them within the framework of democratic ideals, scientific inquiry, and societal progress. He emphasizes the importance of integrating philosophy with other disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, and education, to develop a comprehensive understanding of the human experience. Read in English, unabridged.
