How We Think

John Dewey

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "How We Think," John Dewey presents a profound exploration of the process of reflective thinking, which he delineates as a crucial component of effective learning and problem-solving. Dewey's literary style is characterized by clarity and accessibility, making complex philosophical concepts approachable for a broad audience. The text situates itself within the pragmatist tradition, challenging static notions of knowledge and emphasizing the dynamic interplay between thought and experience in an increasingly complex world. Through detailed analysis and practical examples, Dewey articulates methods for improving educational practices and enhancing critical and creative thinking skills. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a pivotal figure in American philosophy and education, known for his advocacy of experiential learning and democracy in education. His extensive career as a philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer provided him with insights into the deficiencies of traditional pedagogical methods, which inform the core arguments of this work. Dewey's dedication to fostering a more interactive and engaged learning environment illuminated the necessity for a paradigm shift in both educational practices and the cultivation of intellectual habits. "How We Think" is an essential read for educators, students, and anyone interested in the cognitive processes underlying effective learning. Dewey's insightful analysis not only enhances one's understanding of thinking as a skill but also serves as a manifesto for a more thoughtful and engaged society. This book is an invaluable resource for developing the reflective skills needed in both personal and professional contexts.

Anubis—Ancient Egypt’s Lord of...

Charlie Larson

“A poignant, powerful, inclusive, and deeply personal journey to meet the Great God Anubis. Filled with solid historical information, as well as practical contemporary rituals, magick, healing practices, and prayers, this book drew me in, opened my heart, and made me love dear Anubis even more.” —Michael Butler Smith, author of Embracing Isis Anubis is Egypt’s original Lord of the Dead. That title was eventually transferred to Osiris, but even then, Anubis continued to be the most active participant in the after-death process, supervising rituals that determined what would befall the dead soul. He is credited as the inventor of mummification. A shrine to Anubis, one of the most significant gods of ancient Egypt, was discovered within Tutankhamun’s tomb. The image of Anubis has evolved into a veritable symbol of ancient Egypt. Usually identified as a jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis’s domain extends beyond death—he is a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. Anubis’s adopted mother, the goddess Isis, became popular outside Egypt, with temples in Rome and as far as the British Isles. As her guardian, Anubis traveled with her. He is as modern as he is ancient, appearing in comic books, video games, and in the book American Gods and its television adaptation. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists. In this practical guide to working with Anubis, author Charlie Larson focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. Steeped in history and mythology, Anubis—Ancient Egypt’s Lord of Death and Protection features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers, invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the reader on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, delving into his various facets—death deity, psychopomp, and protector.
