Sinopsis

In "Matter and Memory," Henri Bergson explores the intricate relationship between the physical world and consciousness, proposing a philosophical framework that challenges the prevailing materialist views of his time. Released in 1896, this seminal work employs Bergson's characteristic fluid prose and innovative narrative style, interweaving metaphysical inquiry with insights from psychology and neuroscience. By articulating his theory of duration and the role of memory in shaping our perception of reality, Bergson not only situates his ideas within the context of late 19th-century philosophy but also establishes a dialogue with contemporaneous thinkers such as Kant and Nietzsche, enriching the discourse surrounding the mind-body problem. Henri Bergson, a French philosopher and Nobel laureate in Literature, played a critical role in the development of modern philosophy by introducing concepts of time, intuition, and evolution. His unique background in both philosophy and the sciences, coupled with his discontent towards the mechanistic views of his peers, inspired him to delve into the nature of existence and human experience in "Matter and Memory." This work reflects his belief in the importance of intuition over intellect, as well as the fluidity of time, thus setting the stage for future existential and phenomenological thought. This book is highly recommended for those seeking a profound understanding of consciousness and its relation to materiality. Bergson's insights are not only intellectually stimulating but also resonate with contemporary discussions on the nature of memory and identity. "Matter and Memory" is an essential read for philosophers, cognitive scientists, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of the human experience.

    THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE IN DEVELOPMENT ‘MEIERGATE’ IS ABOUT THE LIFE STORY OF JOHN MEIER 
    Meier had Top Secret security clearance with the U.S. Government and has been referred to in the media as the man who brought down U.S. President Richard Nixon in Watergate and was the first person to expose the CIA’s involvement with the Hughes Organization and the only person to call for a congressional hearing into the death of Howard Hughes.

Our governments are increasingly disrespectful of basic human rights such that we can no longer legitimately call our nations democracies. I hope that this story will contribute to changing this course”.

    Undoing Manifest Destiny -...

    Reckoning with the Colonial Past to Bring Justice to the Present
    As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominion—over the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler America's relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. It's time for the whole truth to be told.
    In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices.
    In this book, Hawk
    
    - combines settler colonial theory, historical analysis, and Christian theology to examine how settler America sought to erase Indigenous presence from lands taken by the United States and its colonial predecessors;
    - offers a decolonizing perspective that challenges the church to acknowledge its complicity with the colonial project and to enter into dialogue directed toward setting things right; and
    - highlights contemporary manifestations of colonialism in US interactions with its Indigenous citizens, demonstrating that past issues are still present and need to be addressed today.
    Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.
    This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, students, and readers invested in areas such as post- and de-colonial studies, race and ethnicity, United States history, and social justice. Deepen your understanding of history, confront unsettling truths, and work toward justice and healing with Undoing Manifest Destiny.
