Facts of Consciousness

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Facts of Consciousness," Johann Gottlieb Fichte presents a pivotal exploration of self-awareness and the nature of consciousness that significantly influenced the development of German idealism. Written in the early 19th century, the book employs a rigorous, philosophical style characterized by dialectical reasoning and introspective inquiry. Fichte probes deeply into the processes of thought, subjectivity, and the role of the self in constructing knowledge, often challenging prevailing empiricist notions and emphasizing the significance of the individual's active engagement with their own consciousness. Fichte, a prominent philosopher of the Enlightenment, was greatly influenced by the ideas of Immanuel Kant, particularly the critical examination of the faculties of human understanding. His commitment to the principles of freedom and autonomy stems from his own experiences and the socio-political upheavals of his time, motivating him to seek a philosophical grounding for personal agency within a collective context. This backdrop informed Fichte's conviction that human consciousness is not a passive receiver of sensations but an active participant in the formation of knowledge and reality. "Facts of Consciousness" is a must-read for anyone intrigued by philosophical discourses surrounding self and consciousness. It offers profound insights into the nature of individual perception and serves as a crucial text for understanding the evolution of modern philosophical thought. Whether you are a philosopher, student, or avid reader of intellectual history, Fichte's work will enrich your comprehension of the self and its relation to the world.

General Douglas MacArthur and...

Editors Charles River

Despite fighting in North Africa and the Atlantic, the United States still had the resources and manpower to fight the Japanese in the Pacific. Though the Japanese had crippled the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, its distance from Japan made an invasion of Pearl Harbor impossible, and Japan had not severely damaged important infrastructure. Thus, the United States was able to quickly rebuild a fleet, still stationed at Pearl Harbor right in the heart of the Pacific. This forward location allowed the United States to immediately push deeply into the Pacific theater.
The Americans would eventually push the Japanese back across the Pacific, and one of the most instrumental leaders in the effort was Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet and helped coordinate joint operations with the legendary General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area.
Today, Nimitz’s name doesn’t ring as many bells as his counterpart’s, because of all the military men America produced during the 19th and 20th centuries, it’s hard to find one as important, successful, and controversial as General MacArthur. The son of a Civil War veteran, MacArthur rose to become the most instrumental commander in the Pacific Theater during World War II. His legendary return to the Philippines in 1944 made good on one of the war’s most famous vows, and it was MacArthur who fittingly oversaw the occupation and reconstruction of Japan following the war.
Given his long and celebrated career, MacArthur was the obvious choice to lead the newly created United Nations’ troops during the Korean War, but his arguments over war strategy and policy eventually led to his controversial firing by President Harry Truman in 1951. After that, in his own words, he “faded away,” living out his remaining days on the top floor of the Waldorf Hotel until his death in 1964.

Their natural tendency to use talking as a primary form of communication is essential to their experiences and successes in sports.

Female strengths are grounded in both mind and body, and they take these strengths onto the court, field, and track.   There are now dozens of studies showing how the female brain and hormones operate quite differently than those of men. This book reveals the ways in which these differences confirm that intense emotions about relationships are part of the sporting life for female competitors.
