The Philosophy of Life and Language - Enriched edition

Friedrich von Schlegel

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

Friedrich von Schlegel's "The Philosophy of Life and Language" presents a profound exploration of the interplay between existence and expression, intertwining philosophical inquiry with linguistic analysis. Schlegel employs a rich, Romantic literary style, illuminating how language shapes our understanding of the world and individual consciousness. Positioned within the broader context of German Idealism, the book argues for the intrinsic connection between life experiences, thought, and linguistic manifestation, offering insights that resonate with both contemporary philosophical discussions and poetic forms of expression. Friedrich von Schlegel, a pivotal figure in the early 19th-century German Romantic movement, was influenced by his varied experiences as a poet, critic, and philosopher. His exposure to the conflicts of personal identity and cultural transitions in post-Enlightenment Europe profoundly informed his views on language as a living entity that evolves with human experience. This background culminated in his desire to bridge the realms of art and philosophy, as reflected in this seminal work. For readers interested in the intersection of philosophy, linguistics, and Romantic literature, "The Philosophy of Life and Language" is an essential read. Schlegel invites us to consider how our understanding of life is intimately linked to the language we use, making this book a vital contribution to the fields of philosophy and literary studies alike.

Ted Bundy - The Yearly Journal

Kevin Sullivan

The renowned Ted Bundy expert reveals never-before-published information on little known aspects of the serial killer’s crimes and victims. Due to Kevin Sullivan’s extensive writing about Ted Bundy (which has produced six books), he’s become a sort of magnet over the years, drawing out many people who were part of the Bundy story, but have otherwise kept a low profile over the decades; and these first-person contacts continue to this day.  As such, this is the first book in a new series of books, whose aim is to bring new revelations to the public about Bundy, the victims, the murders, and the almost murders that failed Bundy for one reason or another.  “With all the material we have on Ted Bundy, it’s easy to think we’ve thoroughly covered his life and crimes. But there still are holes, still things to learn . . . Newly discovered facts, some speculation, and some clarification—they’re all here. For those who can’t get enough of Bundy, the items in this illuminating volume show that we can still chip away at his secrets.” —Katherine Ramsland, author of Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer

The Spanish Influenza Of 1918

Mike Parson

The 1918 Influenza Pandemic moved worldwide in three waves, infecting up to 500 million people and causing over 40 million deaths. Several things tended to be present in areas that ended the pandemic with lower mortality rates than average. These include low rates of poverty, widespread access to healthcare, well-funded and general public health measures, and well-managed record keeping. Areas that ended the pandemic with high mortality rates tended to lack the above – they had high rates of poverty, limited access to healthcare, public health measures were unfunded or ineffective, and recordkeeping and communication were unreliable or unclear. It is essential to learn from the success and mistakes of nations passed so that we as a planet are better prepared for any pandemics that should arise in the future. Preparing involves high vaccination rates, fighting drug-resistant pathogens, and working to lower global poverty.

Featuring practical advice, case studies and discussion of original theory, the book aims to inspire, motivate and stimulate educators to engage with alternative approaches to teaching in the outdoors and with nature in mind - and in such a way that promotes students' learning and fosters a long-lasting relationship with nature.

Detailing the physical and psychological benefits of being outdoors, the book suggests ways to help build young people's connection with nature and support their autonomy in naturalspaces.
