Summary

In "Ontological Catastrophe: Žižek and the Paradoxical Metaphysics of German Idealism," Joseph Carew embarks on a compelling exploration of the intersections between contemporary philosophy and the enduring legacy of German idealism. Carew adeptly navigates the complex terrain of Slavoj Žižek's thought, revealing how Žižek's interpretations resonate with, challenge, and expand upon the foundational concepts established by German idealists such as Hegel and Kant. The literary style is rigorous yet accessible, employing a critical lens that distances itself from both dogmatic adherence to tradition and superficial modern critiques, positioning Žižek as a pivotal figure in contemporary metaphysical discourse. Joseph Carew, an insightful scholar steeped in the nuances of both psychoanalysis and idealist philosophy, draws from his extensive academic background to dissect the paradoxical nature of existence as presented by Žižek. His previous works and scholarly interests in dialectics have uniquely shaped his approach, fostering a profound understanding of how historical philosophical frameworks inform and complicate modern thought. This blend of expertise and personal engagement with the material lends depth to Carew's analysis. This book is highly recommended for students and scholars of philosophy, as well as those intrigued by the contradictions inherent in modern metaphysics. Carew's work not only demystifies Žižek but also invigorates philosophical inquiry, urging readers to engage with the complexities of existence and the intellectual heritage that continues to shape it.

    The book "Duron Vekhe Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale" is written by Prof. Harpal Singh Pannu. He mentions in the beginning that he wrote exactly what he saw with his own eyes. He says, "It felt like Sant Jarnail Singh was my friend." But Sant Jarnail Singh was not anyone’s friend—he was a saint. A saint has no enemies or friends. I saw him as a great Sikh whose role in the Akali Dal was growing.

    After Apollo: The History of...

    Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration.  
    Space exploration was always an expensive business, and throughout NASA’s history, the agency has had to justify to Congress its need for every dollar it intended to spend. This problem has helped NASA to be more careful and more creative with the money they did receive, and scientists had to justify the equipment they wanted to include on each space probe. They had to justify the size and the power demand, too. If they wanted too much, the entire mission might be scrubbed, and all their work would have been for naught. This made planning and designs leaner and more efficient, as scientists and engineers were more careful with their recommendations. 
    Although Apollo 11’s successful mission to the Moon is seen as the culmination of the Space Race, and the Apollo program remains NASA’s most famous, one of the space agency’s most successful endeavors came a few years later. In fact, the Pioneer program was the most diversified sequence of any of NASA’s programs, and though they’re now remembered for being among the first probes in history to reach the Outer Solar System, the elaborate planning changed goals several times over several years before resulting in historic successes.

    Chemically Imbalanced - Everyday...

    Everyday suffering—those conditions or feelings brought on by trying circumstances that arise in everyone’s lives—is something that humans have grappled with for millennia. But the last decades have seen a drastic change in the way we approach it. In the past, a person going through a time of difficulty might keep a journal or see a therapist, but now the psychological has been replaced by the biological: instead of treating the heart, soul, and mind, we take a pill to treat the brain. 
     
    Chemically Imbalanced is a field report on how ordinary people dealing with common problems explain their suffering, how they’re increasingly turning to the thin and mechanistic language of the “body/brain,” and what these encounters might tell us. Drawing on interviews with people dealing with struggles such as underperformance in school or work, grief after the end of a relationship, or disappointment with how their life is unfolding, Joseph E. Davis reveals the profound revolution in consciousness that is underway. We now see suffering as an imbalance in the brain that needs to be fixed, usually through chemical means. This has rippled into our social and cultural conversations, and it has affected how we, as a society, imagine ourselves and envision what constitutes a good life. Davis warns that what we envision as a neurological revolution, in which suffering is a mechanistic problem, has troubling and entrapping consequences. And he makes the case that by turning away from an interpretive, meaning-making view of ourselves, we thwart our chances to enrich our souls and learn important truths about ourselves and the social conditions under which we live.
