Summary

Scientific Revolution Milestones delves into the groundbreaking transformations in science from the 16th century onward, revealing how pivotal discoveries reshaped our comprehension of the universe and our place in it. This period marked a fundamental shift in epistemology, altering how knowledge was acquired and validated. One intriguing aspect was the move from the geocentric view of the universe, where Earth was believed to be the center, to the heliocentric model championed by Nicolaus Copernicus, sparking intense debate and revolutionizing astronomy. Another was the rise of empiricism and experimentation, exemplified by Galileo Galilei's work, which challenged established Aristotelian views and laid the foundation for the Scientific Method.

 
The book adopts a chronological and thematic approach, beginning with the pre-revolutionary scientific landscape and progressing through the Copernican Revolution, the rise of empiricism and experimentation, and the Newtonian synthesis. This synthesis, culminating in Isaac Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation, unified celestial and terrestrial mechanics, marking a high point in the revolution. By examining primary texts and historical accounts, Scientific Revolution Milestones not only offers a comprehensive understanding of this transformative era but also highlights its lasting impact on modern science and Western thought.

    Black Chameleon - Memory...

    This program is read by the author.In the literary tradition of Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House, Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, and Jesmyn Ward’s Men We Reaped, this debut memoir confronts both the challenges and joys of growing up Black and making your own truth.Growing up as a Black girl in America, Deborah Mouton felt alienated from the stories she learned in class. She yearned for stories she felt connected to—true ones of course—but also fables and mythologies that could help explain both the world and her place in it. What she encountered was almost always written by white writers who prospered in a time when human beings were treated as chattel, such as the Greek and Roman myths, which felt as dusty and foreign as ancient ruins. When she sought myths written by Black authors, they were rooted too far in the past, a continent away.Mouton writes, “The phrases of my mother and grandmother began to seem less colloquial and more tied to stories that had been lost along the way. . . . Mythmaking isn’t a lie. It is our moment to take the privilege of our own creativity to fill in the gaps that colonization has stolen from us. It is us choosing to write the tales that our children pull strength from. It is hijacking history for the ignorance in its closets. This, a truth that must start with the women.”Mouton’s memoir Black Chameleon is a song of praise and an elegy for Black womanhood. With a poet’s gift for lyricism and poignancy, Mouton reflects on her childhood as the daughter of a preacher and a harsh but loving mother, living in the world as a Black woman whose love is all too often coupled with danger, and finally learning to be a mother to another Black girl in America. Of the moment yet timeless, playful but incendiary, Mouton has staked out new territory in the memoir form.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

    Simplicity comes into being when there is freedom from the desire to achieve 
    • One who is sincere can never be simple because he who is trying to be sincere always has the desire to pattern or approximate himself to an idea. 
    • Self-knowledge can be discovered more fully, deeply, widely, only when there is passive awareness, which is not the exertion of will. 
    • In the search for self-knowledge we get caught in self-consciousness. Being caught we make the thing in which one is caught the most important thing. 
    • To go beyond self-consciousness there must be freedom from the desire to achieve a result, because the achievement of a result is what the mind wants. 
    • Q: Would you please explain what you mean by dying daily? 
    • Q: How does a truth when repeated become a lie? What really is a lie? 
    • Q: I think I can help, but whatever I say or do to another is interpreted as interference and as domineering. Why does this happen to me? 
    • Q: What is aloneness? Is it a mystical state?

    Superstition in All Ages

    "Superstition in All Ages" is a book written by French priest and philosopher Jean Meslier in the early 18th century. The book is a critique of religion and an argument for atheism. Meslier argues that religion, particularly Christianity, is based on superstition and that its claims cannot be proven. 
    Meslier's book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the origins of superstition and religion, arguing that they are based on fear, ignorance, and the desire for power. Meslier claims that the belief in supernatural beings and forces is a result of humanity's inability to explain natural phenomena, and that religion is a way for those in power to control and manipulate the masses. 
    The second part of the book is a direct attack on Christianity. Meslier argues that the Bible is a collection of myths and legends, and that its moral teachings are inconsistent and often immoral. He also critiques the Christian concept of God, arguing that it is illogical and contradictory. 
    Meslier's arguments were highly controversial in his time, and he was forced to keep his atheism a secret to avoid persecution. After his death, his manuscript was discovered and published, making him one of the earliest and most influential atheist thinkers in history.
