Summary

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.

    Game culture and material culture have always been closely linked. Analog forms of rule-based play (ludus) would hardly be conceivable without dice, cards, and game boards. In the act of free play (paidia), children as well as adults transform simple objects into multifaceted toys in an almost magical way. Even digital play is suffused with material culture: Games are not only mediated by technical interfaces, which we access via hardware and tangible peripherals. They are also subject to material hybridization, paratextual framing, and processes of de-, and re-materialization.

    Experience the Words That Ignited a Revolution.

First published anonymously in January 1776, Thomas Paine's Common Sense was the spark that turned colonial discontent into a full-scale demand for independence. Written in clear, forceful language designed to be understood by everyone—not just the elite—this masterpiece of political persuasion dismantled the "myth" of the British monarchy and argued that the colonies had both a right and a duty to govern themselves.


Paine's arguments were so compelling that they reached nearly every corner of the colonies, becoming the all-time best-selling American title relative to the population. His call for a democratic republic and the protection of natural rights provided the intellectual foundation for the Declaration of Independence and the birth of a new nation.

This definitive edition presents the complete, original text of the most influential pamphlet in American history. Whether you are a student of early American history, a fan of political philosophy, or simply looking to understand the roots of American liberty, Common Sense remains an essential and electrifying read.

What happened during All Hallow´s Eve, and how in all these cultures, there was a special time period that was completely dedicated to honouring the ancestors and remember those who had passed away.

    A beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. 
 
 
  
The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate—they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance," Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.

For centuries men have been plotting to bring about a New World Order. From seemingly diverse backgrounds, religions, cultures and even politics, they come together behind the scenes to enact their plan. It was predicted many years ago and has been ongoing. Along the way thousands have built vast fortunes, families become entrenched as the power brokers and authority placed into the hands of a few. 
 
Throughout time they have followed a cleverly laid out plan that was written down in code, cipher and symbolism thousands of years ago. In this book we will examine their special language in-order to uncover the truth. From the special names to the special numbers, a secret lies hidden and waiting. 
 
We will reveal the significance of the number of the beast, 666. We will see the truth behind their religious symbols such as the cross and tree and through these see the beast for what it truly is. We will know the one that shall follow. The one they call the anti-Christ, and we shall be amazed. Never in the history of mankind, until now, was it possible to deliver this beast upon the earth. 
 
The New World Order is ready and it's new messiah about to be revealed.

    This audiobook narrated by Ruha Benjamin offers an inspiring and uniquely personal vision of how we can build a more just world one small change at a time
"A book as urgent as the moment that produced it."—Jelani Cobb, Columbia Journalism School

Long before the pandemic, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Part memoir, part manifesto, Viral Justice is a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we make every day.

Vividly recounting her personal experiences and those of her family, Benjamin shows how seemingly minor decisions and habits could spread virally and have exponentially positive effects. She recounts her father's premature death, illuminating the devastating impact of the chronic stress of racism, but she also introduces us to community organizers who are fostering mutual aid and collective healing. Through her brother's experience with the criminal justice system, we see the trauma caused by policing practices and mass imprisonment, but we also witness family members finding strength as they come together to demand justice for their loved ones. And while her own challenges as a young mother reveal the vast inequities of our healthcare system, Benjamin also describes how the support of doulas and midwives can keep Black mothers and babies alive and well.

This inspiring audiobook offers a passionate and practical vision of how small changes can add up to large ones, transforming our relationships and communities and helping us build a more just and joyful world.
