Sinopse

In "Essays in Experimental Logic," John Dewey delves into the intricate relationship between logic and experience, presenting a compelling argument for an approach to logic grounded in real-world situations. Dewey's writing is characterized by clarity and precision, seamlessly blending philosophical inquiry with practical implications. He critiques traditional logical frameworks, emphasizing the dynamic and contingent nature of thought processes, which, he posits, must evolve in response to the complexities of lived experience. The essays in this collection challenge readers to reevaluate the purpose of logic and its application in experimental contexts, bridging the gap between philosophy and the sciences. John Dewey, a prominent American philosopher and educator, was a leading figure in pragmatism and instrumentalism, deeply influenced by his experiences in progressive education and social reform. His commitment to democracy and inquiry is mirrored in this work, as he advocates for a logic that is adaptable and responsive to the changing needs of society. Given his extensive background in both philosophy and educational practice, Dewey offers a unique perspective that highlights the importance of experiential learning in the development of logical reasoning. "Essays in Experimental Logic" is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, education, or the evolution of modern thought. Dewey's insights invite readers to consider how logic operates within the framework of human experience, making it a vital resource for scholars and students alike. This work not only enriches our understanding of logic but also challenges us to embrace a more dynamic and engaged approach to thinking.

    Immediate, illuminating, and hopeful: this is the key set of talks given by leading Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward, PhD, on breaking America’s cycle of racial trauma. As an 11-year-old child, Zen Buddhist teacher Larry Ward was shot at by the police for playing baseball in the wrong spot. As an adult, he experienced the trauma of having his home firebombed by racists. At Plum Village Monastery in France—the home in exile of his teacher, Vietnamese peace activist and Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh—Dr. Ward found a way to heal. In these short reflective essays, he offers his insights on the effects of racial constructs and answers the question: How do we free ourselves from our repeated cycles of anger, denial, bitterness, pain, fear, violence? “I am a drop in the ocean, but I’m also the ocean,” he says. “I’m a drop in America, but I’m also America. Every pain, every confusion, every good and every bad and ugly of America is in me. And as I transform myself and heal and take care of myself, I’m very conscious that I’m healing and transforming and taking care of America. I say this for American cynics, but this is also true globally. It’s for real.” Here, Ward looks at the causes and conditions that have led us to our current state and finds, hidden in the crisis, a profound opportunity to reinvent what it means to be a human being. This is an invitation to transform America’s racial karma.

    Mexico’s history is a fascinating blend of ancient civilizations, colonial rule, and modern economic evolution. Situated at the crossroads of North and Central America, the country has played a crucial role in shaping regional and global events. From the sophisticated societies of the Mayans and Aztecs to the dramatic upheavals brought by Spanish colonization, each era has left an indelible mark on Mexico’s cultural and economic landscape. This book explores key milestones that have defined Mexico’s development and the economic transformations that continue to shape its future.  
    The origins of Mexico’s rich history begin with its diverse geography, which has influenced the rise of powerful civilizations. The Aztecs, with their vast empire and advanced societal structures, left behind a legacy of engineering, agriculture, and governance that still resonates today. Similarly, the Mayans developed sophisticated mathematical and astronomical systems, highlighting the intellectual achievements of pre-Columbian Mexico. These civilizations thrived for centuries before encountering the seismic changes that came with European arrival.  
    The Spanish conquest in the early 16th century marked a profound turning point. Hernán Cortés and his forces, aided by superior weaponry and alliances with indigenous groups, dismantled the Aztec Empire and imposed colonial rule. Spain’s domination reshaped Mexico’s social, economic, and political structures. The encomienda system placed indigenous populations under harsh labor conditions, while the introduction of Catholicism and European traditions altered local customs and belief systems. Despite the oppression, Mexico’s indigenous and mestizo populations adapted, creating a unique cultural fusion that remains a defining aspect of the country’s identity.

    Under the shadow of gray clouds, three children venture into the woods, where they spot the corpse of an old man on a scaffold. Suddenly a wild figure emerges, with long fingernails and tangled hair. It is the Hattak fullih nipi foni, the bone picker, who comes to tear off rotting flesh with his fingernails. Only the Choctaws who adhere to the old ways will speak of him. The frightening bone picker is just one of many entities, scary and mysterious, who lurk behind every page of this spine-tingling collection of Native fiction, written by award-winning Choctaw author Devon A. Mihesuah. 
     
     
     
    As a Choctaw citizen, with deep ties to Indian Territory and Oklahoma, Mihesuah grew up hearing the stories of her ancestors. In the tradition of Native storytelling, she spins tales that move back and forth fluidly across time. The ancient beings, we discover, followed the tribe from their original homelands in Mississippi and are now ever-present influences on tribal consciousness. 
     
     
     
    While some of the horrors told here are "real life" in nature, the art of fiction that Mihesuah employs reveals surprising outcomes or alternative histories. It turns out the things that scare us the most can lead to the answers we are seeking and even ensure our very survival.

    Twenty-six centuries ago, the Buddha fleshed out the universal law of the spiritual realm: karma, which holds that our actions, our words, and even our thoughts inevitably produce effects that return to us in some form — in this lifetime or a future one. In The Beginner’s Guide to Karma, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine encourage readers to forget what they’ve heard about karma and look at the subject afresh. Delving into Buddhist scripture and tradition, the authors give a comprehensive overview that incorporates psychology, ethics, and metaphysics. Using everyday language and real-life examples, they clear away myths, illustrate how karma works in daily life, and offer practices to build positive karma. The Beginner’s Guide to Karma neatly sums up the Buddhist worldview and makes a compelling case for a way of being that nurtures compassion, joy, and inner peace in an uncertain world.
