Ego Sum - Corpus Anima Fabula

Jean-Luc Nancy

Summary

First published in 1979 but never available in English until now, Ego Sum challenges, through a careful and unprecedented reading of Descartes’s writings, the picture of Descartes as the father of modern philosophy: the thinker who founded the edifice of knowledge on the absolute self-certainty of a Subject fully transparent to itself. While other theoretical discourses, such as psychoanalysis, have also attempted to subvert this Subject, Nancy shows how they always inadvertently reconstituted the Subject they were trying to leave behind.Nancy’s wager is that, at the moment of modern subjectivity’s founding, a foundation that always already included all the possibilities of its own exhaustion, another thought of “the subject” is possible. By paying attention to the mode of presentation of Descartes’s subject, to the masks, portraits, feints, and fables thatpopulate his writings, Jean-Luc Nancy shows how Descartes’s ego is not the Subject of metaphysics but a mouth that spaces itself out and distinguishes itself.

Martin Weber

Der Energie-Erfolgstherapeut der ÖSV-Sportler!
Dieses Buch richtet sich an alle, die bereit sind, ihre Gesundheit eigenverantwortlich in die Hand zu nehmen und Neues zuzulassen. 
Konkret, mit Kompetenz und vielen praktischen Beispielen aus seiner langjährigen Erfahrung als Energetiker, Querdenker, Visionär und Energietherapeut von Österreichs besten Sportlern wie Felix Gottwald, Michael Walchhofer, Hermann Maier, Rainer Schönfelder, Michael Gruber, Andreas Schifferer, Michi Dorfmeister, Gitti Obermoser und vielen anderen bringt Martin Weber in diesem Buch die Leserinnen und Leser einen Schritt näher zum Verstehen der wahren Mechanismen, die in jedem Menschen wirken. 

Martin Weber kann im Verlaufe seiner Tätigkeit bereits auf spektakuläre Heilerfolge zurückblicken, die zu einem großen Teil dokumentiert sind und auch in den Medien für große Resonanz gesorgt haben. Die schnelle Heilung von Knochenbrüchen, Sehnenrissen und anderen Verletzungen macht ihn nicht nur bei Spitzensportlern zu einem gefragten Therapeuten. Nun gibt Martin Weber sein Wissen erstmals in Buchform an Menschen weiter, die an wirklicher Heilung - nicht Symptombekämpfung - interessiert sind. Er zeigt auf, dass Medikamente niemals zu wirklicher Heilung führen und dass vor allem nach Verletzungen oder Operationen der Körper wie ein sensibles Musikinstrument neu gestimmt werden muss.

When the undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi retreated to a cave in 1643 and wrote The Book of Five Rings, a manifesto on swordsmanship, strategy, and winning for his students and generations of samurai to come, he created one of the most perceptive and incisive texts on strategic thinking ever to come from Asia.Musashi gives timeless advice on defeating an adversary, throwing an opponent off-guard, creating confusion, and other techniques for overpowering an assailant that will resonate with both martial artists and everyone else interested in skillfully dealing with conflict. For Musashi, the way of the martial arts was a mastery of the mind rather than simply technical prowess—and it is this path to mastery that is the core teaching in The Book of Five Rings.
