Sinopsis

George Berkeley (1685-1753) was an Irish philosopher, an anglican bishop and one of the three great British empiricists along with John Locke and David Hume. Ignored and derided in life, he is now widely re-evaluated and considered as a sort of indirect precursor of Ernst Mach, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr for his thesis on the non-existence of matter and the impossibility of an objectively absolute time and space. His critiques of mathematics and science are among the most controversial, brilliant and revolutionary in the history of philosophy.The Berkley’s essay A Defence of Free-Thinking in Mathematics was written and published in 1735 in response to criticisms of The Analyst in Geometry no Friend to Infidelity; or a Defence of Sir Isaac Newton and the British Mathematicians, by “Philalethes Cantabrigiensis” (Dr. James Jurin, a noted Cambridge scientist and physician), and Vindication of Sir Isaac Newton’s Principles of Fluxions, by Jacob Walton. Berkeley responded to a subsequent pamphlet of Walton with Reasons for not replying to Mr. Walton’s Full Answer.

    What sets humans apart from other animals? The accumulation of discoveries throughout history, big and small, has enabled us to build global civilizations and gain power to shape our environment. But what makes humans as a species so innovative? 
     
     
     
    Min W. Jung offers a new understanding of the neural basis of innovation in terms of humans' exceptional capacity for imagination and high-level abstraction. He provides an engaging account of recent advances in neuroscience that have shed light on the neural underpinnings of these profoundly important abilities. Jung examines key discoveries concerning the hippocampus and neural circuits that have demystified the processes underlying imagination and abstract thinking. He also considers how these capacities might have evolved as well as possible futures for intelligence. 
     
     
     
    Bringing together disparate findings in neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and artificial intelligence, A Brain for Innovation develops a unified perspective on the mechanisms of imagination, abstract thought, and creativity. Presenting cutting-edge neuroscientific research in a way that is accessible to listeners without a background in the subject, this book is essential for anyone interested in the biological basis of one of the most fundamental aspects of human nature.

    An estimated four hundred gold records have been recorded in the Muscle Shoals area. Many of those are thanks to Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, dubbed "the Swampers." 
     
     
     
    Some of the greatest names in rock, R&B and blues laid tracks in the original, iconic concrete-block building—the likes of Cher, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Rolling Stones, and the Black Keys. The National Register of Historic Places now recognizes that building, where Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded the original version of "Free Bird" and the Rolling Stones wrote "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses." By combing through decades of articles and music reviews related to Muscle Shoals Sound, music writer Carla Jean Whitley reconstructs the fascinating history of how the Alabama studio created a sound that reverberates across generations.

    Populism, a term often used in modern political discourse, refers to movements or ideologies that seek to represent the interests of ordinary people, often contrasting with the perceived elite or establishment. Understanding the origins of populism requires exploring both its historical roots and its evolution over time. Though its contemporary forms are often associated with charismatic leaders and mass mobilization, populism has a deep and complex history that spans several centuries. 
    Historically, populism can trace its roots back to the late 19th century, when agrarian movements in the United States and Russia first used the term. The Populist Party, founded in the U.S. in 1891, advocated for the interests of farmers who felt exploited by industrial elites and urban centers. In Russia, the narodniks, or "people's movement," emerged around the same time, focusing on the belief that Russia’s future lay in the empowerment of the peasantry. These early populist movements were fueled by economic and social inequalities, with the central grievance being the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few. 
    The core tenet of these early populist movements was the idea of a moral divide between the "pure" common people and the corrupt elites. This populist rhetoric resonated strongly with those who felt neglected by the political establishment, emphasizing a deep distrust of centralized political systems and economic power. Populism, then, was not simply about policy disagreements but a call for a deeper cultural and moral reckoning with societal inequalities.

    Communism, as an ideology and political movement, seeks to create a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively. Rooted in the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, communism advocates for the abolition of private property and aims to establish a system where wealth is distributed according to need, not individual ownership. This chapter explores the foundational principles of communism, its historical development, and its responses to capitalism and social inequality. 
    At the heart of communism lies the idea of economic equality. Marx and Engels argued that capitalism inherently exploits workers, who sell their labor for wages while capitalists profit from the value produced. The solution, according to communism, is the overthrow of capitalist systems and the establishment of a proletarian (working class) dictatorship. This revolutionary phase would transition into a classless society in which private property is abolished, and wealth is shared among all members of society. 
    The key principles of communism emphasize collective ownership, state control of resources, and the idea of class struggle. In Marxist theory, history is understood through the lens of class conflict, where different social classes—such as the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (workers)—are in perpetual opposition. The ultimate goal is to establish a society free of these class distinctions, where everyone has access to the same resources and opportunities.
