Martin Heidegger's «Parmenides»
Indiana University Press | ISBN: 0253212146 | (August 1998) 2009 | DJVU | 192 pages | 3 Mb

This is the whole transcript, in English, of a lecture course delivered by Martin Heidegger at the University of Freiburg during the winter semester of 1942-1943, following the path of Heidegger's profound encounter with Nietzsche and his return to the Greek thinkers before Socrates. It is Heidegger's preliminary response or answer to the "Problem of Socrates", the deepest and most fundamental problem facing man as man. Included here for the first time is a vital essay by Leo Strauss on Heideggerian Existentialism that traces the full trajectory of Heidegger's thought from Being & Time to his last thoughts which tend to embrace a dialogue with the spirit of the East. These are difficult but rewarding texts for those who are able to bring the efforts necessary to think them through. All the thinkers in question here (Nietzsche-Heidegger-Parmenides-Strauss-Plato) are essential to the recovery of the permanent problem of philosophy & the polis, and the resurrection of the "question of Being".

E-book: Quantum Reality, Relativistic Causality, and Closing the Epistemic Circle: Essays in Honour of Abner Shimony (2009)

Wayne C. Myrvold, Joy Christian, “Quantum Reality, Relativistic Causality, and Closing the Epistemic Circle: Essays in Honour of Abner Shimony”
Springer | 2009-02-01 | ISBN: 1402091060 | 528 pages | PDF | 7,4 MB

In July 2006, a major international conference was held at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada, to celebrate the career and work of a remarkable man of letters. Abner Shimony, who is well known for his pioneering contributions to foundations of quantum mechanics, is a physicist as well as a philosopher, and is highly respected among the intellectuals of both communities. In line with Shimony’s conviction that philosophical investigation is not to be divorced from theoretical and empirical work in the sciences, the conference brought together leading theoretical physicists, experimentalists, as well as philosophers. This book collects twenty-three original essays stemming from the conference, on topics including history and methodology of science, Bell's theorem, probability theory, the uncertainty principle, stochastic modifications of quantum mechanics, and relativity theory. It ends with a transcript of a fascinating discussion between Lee Smolin and Shimony, ranging over the entire spectrum of Shimony's wide-ranging contributions to philosophy, science, and philosophy of science.

E-book: Quantum Topology (Series on knots & everything) (1993)

9789810225759 (981022575X), World Scientific Publishing, 1993

Discusses topics in the field of quantum topology, including: knot theory, exotic spheres and global gravitational anomolies; construction of 4D topological quantum field theories; computing the arf invariants of links; and the Casson invariants for two-fold branched covers of links.

This book constitutes a review volume on the relatively new subject of Quantum Topology. It is a review volume in the form of a snapshot of ongoing research activity . This activity goes across the board , among problems, techniques , and mysteries in topology and in mathematical physics.

The snapshot was taken at a special session of the American Mathematical Society on Topological Quantum Field Theory. This special session was held in Dayton , Ohio on October 30 - November 1, 1992 at the general meeting of the American Mathematical Society, in which one of us (Louis Kauffman) gave an invited address.

E-book: Questioning God

Posted By : revelation-online | Date : 13 Nov 2008 22:47 | Comments : 0

John D. Caputo, Mark Dooley & Michael J. Scanlon, "Questioning God" (Indiana Series in the Philosophy of Religion)
Indiana University Press (2001) | English | ISBN: 0253214742 | 394 pages | PDF | 1 MB

This volume, based on the second of Villanova's Religion and Postmodernism lecture series, brings Jacques Derrida together with an international group of philosophers and theologians, including John Milbank, Graham Ward, Richard Kearney, Kevin Hart, Jean Greisch and others, to discuss questions of forgiveness and God in a post-modern time. In addition to containing the first appearance in print of Derrida's recent work on the topic of "forgiveness," this volume also presents the first confrontation of deconstruction with Radical Orthodoxy. What are the connections between phenomenology and religion? What does it mean to forgive in a post-modern age? Is forgiveness a paradox today?

In 15 lively essays, Jacques Derrida and an international group of scholars of religion explore thinking about God within the context and the economy of exchange that seems to govern repentance. If forgiveness is, as implied in the word, a giving and a gift, then is it only to be given to those who earn it, to those who repent and make amends? What does it mean to reduce forgiveness to a simple economic exchange? Can we only really forgive the unrepentant, those who have not earned it? Can we only properly forgive the unforgivable? Can the sense of debt and reciprocity that comes with forgiveness ever be avoided? Specific topics such as imagining God as unthinkable, imagining God as non-patriarchal, imagining a return to Augustine, and imagining an age where praise is far more important than narrative, amplify the religious and philosophical dialogues taking place in this timely volume. Questioning God moves readers beyond the parameters of metaphysical reason and modernist rationality as it unites post-modern attempts to conceive of God. The contributors include John D. Caputo, Jacques Derrida, Mark Dooley, Francis Schussler Fiorenza, Robert Gibbs, Jean Greisch, Kevin Hart, Richard Kearney, Cleo McNelly Kearns, John Milbank, Regina M. Schwartz, Michael J. Scanlon, and Graham Ward.
