William James

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "A Pluralistic Universe," William James presents a profound philosophical exploration advocating for a worldview that embraces plurality over absolutism. Published in 1909, during a period of significant intellectual upheaval, this work challenges the traditional metaphysical systems that sought singular truths. James employs an engaging literary style, blending rigorous argumentation with accessible prose, invoking pragmatism to assert that reality consists of diverse experiences and perspectives. By utilizing a rich tapestry of examples and thought experiments, he emphasizes the importance of individual experience in shaping our understanding of the universe, ultimately positioning pluralism as a more inclusive and practical philosophical stance. William James, an eminent psychologist and philosopher associated with the pragmatism movement, draws from his extensive background in both psychology and philosophy, reflecting his fascination with human experience and consciousness. His personal struggles with the concept of reality, combined with his exposure to the vibrant intellectual climate of his time, deeply influenced his approach to pluralism. James's interdisciplinary expertise allows him to approach complex topics with both depth and clarity, inviting readers from various backgrounds to contemplate fundamental questions about existence and belief. This book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the intersections of philosophy, psychology, and spirituality. Readers will find James's arguments thought-provoking and transformative, offering a refreshing perspective in an age increasingly polarized by dogmatic beliefs. "A Pluralistic Universe" not only invites intellectual engagement but also encourages a deeper appreciation of the diverse tapestries of life that shaping our collective experience.

World War I: An Enthralling...

Enthralling History

World War I is infamous for revolutionizing modern warfare as we know it. 
It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come.  
However, there is much more to World War I than Franz Ferdinand’s assassination and the clash of the Entente and Central Powers. It was a conflict deeply rooted in hateful rivalries of the world’s most powerful states and came as a somewhat logical conclusion to the endless balancing and political maneuvering of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it would change the course of history forever.  
This audiobook will dive into the Great War, exploring what caused it, how it unfolded, and its short- and long-term consequences. Here are some of the things you will learn about in this audiobook:  
The long nineteenth century and how it affected the political landscapeGermany and Italy’s unification The state of European power politics New technological advancements that shaped the war The Austro-Hungarian problem and the start of WWI Military activities in all theaters of the war

Kingdom of Wolves

Juliana Vasiljevic

Kingdom of Wolves clears the path to understanding the unconscious drives that motivate if not govern the behaviours of predators, abusers, bullies, their victims and the underlying issues that draw them to each other. The author demystifies the complexities of human behaviour, merging old concepts with new as she guides you through the emotional and psychological landscapes of the abuser’s and victim’s psyche. She provides a simple but profound insight into the adverse causes and outcomes of early childhood and adolescent development, linking it to present-day adult ways of life. Juliana, once a victim of domestic abuse herself, believes that freedom, reclamation, redemption and wholeness of spirit can only be achieved by taking a journey inward. She hopes through this book to provide a way forward for victims who are trapped by their past experiences or present-day abusive circumstances and concludes that the key to recognition, understanding and prevention of violence and abuse can only be gained through acquiring a deeper awareness of human behaviour.
