  Speaking in Tongues

  Language, historically speaking, has always been slippery. Two dictionaries provide two different maps of the universe: which one is true, or are both false? Speaking in Tongues—taking the form of a dialogue between Nobel laureate novelist J. M. Coetzee and eminent translator Mariana Dimópulos—examines some of the most pressing linguistic issues that plague writers and translators well into the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  The authors inquire if one can truly love an acquired language, and they question why certain languages, like Spanish, have gender differences built into them. They examine the threat of monolingualism and ask how we can counter, if at all, the global spread of the English language, which seems to maraud like a colonial power. They question whether it should be the duty of the translator to remove morally objectionable language. And in the conclusion, Coetzee even speculates whether it's only mathematics that can tell the truth about everything. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from decades of experience in the craft of language, both Dimópulos and Coetzee face the reality that when it comes to self-expression, some things will always get lost in translation. Speaking in Tongues finally emerges as an engaging and accessible work of philosophy, shining a light on some of the most important linguistic and philological issues of our time.

  Invitation to Sociology - A...

  Peter L. Berger

  • 0

  This lucid and lively book, punctuated with witty, incisive examples, is addressed both to the layman who wants to know what sociology is all about and to students and sociologists who are concerned about the larger implications and dimensions of their discipline. Professor Berger places sociology in the humanist tradition and recognizes it as a "peculiarly modern, peculiarly timely form of critical thought." Without underestimating the importance of scientific procedures in sociology, he points out its essential affinity with history and philosophy, and he shows how sociology in this sense can contribute to a fuller awareness of the human world. 
   
   
   
  "Unlike puppets," he notes, "we have the possibility of stopping in our movements, looking up and perceiving the machinery by which we have been moved. In this act lies the first step towards freedom." Professor Berger discusses this consciousness in detail, in relation to one's own biography, to the operations of social institutions, and to the makeup of an individual as a product of this institutions. In each instance, he outlines the major contributions to sociology of such classical sociologists as Weber, Pareto, and Drukheim in Europe; Veblen, Cooley, and Mead in the United States; and some of the most important names in the field today.

  Baruch Spinoza - God Nature and...

  Hector Davidson

  Baruch Spinoza's philosophy is a comprehensive system that integrates metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political theory into a unified framework. Central to his thought is the idea of God and nature as a single, infinite substance, which Spinoza refers to as "Deus sive Natura" (God or Nature). This concept encapsulates his pantheistic view that everything that exists is a part of this one, all-encompassing reality. 
    
  Metaphysics and Substance 
    
  Spinoza's metaphysical framework revolves around the notion of substance monism. He argues that there is only one substance in the universe, which is both God and nature. This substance possesses an infinite number of attributes, with thought and extension being the two that humans can comprehend. Everything that exists, according to Spinoza, is a mode or manifestation of this single substance. This idea challenges traditional theistic views by rejecting the notion of a personal, transcendent God who is separate from the world. 
    
  Epistemology and Knowledge 
    
  In epistemology, Spinoza emphasizes the role of reason and intuitive knowledge in understanding the nature of reality. He distinguishes between different types of knowledge: imagination, reason, and intuition. Imaginative knowledge, based on sensory experience and inadequate ideas, is unreliable and often leads to confusion. Rational knowledge, which arises from understanding the necessary connections between ideas, is more accurate. The highest form of knowledge, according to Spinoza, is intuitive knowledge—an immediate, direct understanding of the essence of things.
