Free Download John Raymaker, "Empowering Climate-Change Strategies with Bernard Lonergan’s Method"
English | ISBN: 0761865128 | 2014 | 176 pages | EPUB | 769 KB
This book addresses the climate change crisis through scientific, historical, and spiritual lenses. Using Bernard Lonergan’s functional specialization method, developed to facilitate collaboration among specialists, Raymaker and Durrani not only analyze data and rebut the claims of climate change deniers, but also look for inspiration to motivate and coordinate needed action by persons, groups, and nations. The book is wide-ranging in its historical examination of leaders who have shown us ways to work together constructively in finding solutions to problems. Lonergan’s method helps us study the past with a view to change the future. To do so, we must first reform ourselves.

Free Download The Origins of the Idea of Scientific Progress: Bernard de Fontenelle and His Contemporaries by Daniel Špelda
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 230 Pages | ISBN : 303160525X | 4.7 MB
This volume offers a new interpretation of the genesis of the idea of scientific progress in early modern science and philosophy. The interpretation argues that the idea of scientific progress was not a historical category, but an epistemological one. The main thesis of the book posits that the idea of scientific progress was a methodological means of dealing with the contingency of nature. To illustrate the novelty of the idea, the individual chapters compare several features of Renaissance natural philosophy with a new regime of knowledge that included time as an inevitable factor of empirical research. The temporal regime of knowledge is illustrated by the work of Bernard de Fontenelle and his colleagues at the Académie des sciences in Paris at the end of the 17th century. The new interpretation remedies a gap in recent scholarship where the idea of scientific progress has been overlooked even though the early modern natural philosophers themselves used it to describe the nature of their research. The book places both well-known texts and less-studied documents in a new light, thus contributing to the lively and rich debate on the origins and nature of early modern science and philosophy. It is of interest to scholars studying the history of early modern philosophy and science.

Free Download Howard Ira Einsohn, "Bernard Shaw, Paul Ricoeur, and the Jesusian Dialectics of Redemptive Living "
English | ISBN: 3031449223 | 2024 | 228 pages | EPUB | 417 KB
This book explores a heretofore unremarked linkage between Bernard Shaw, the twentieth-century French thinker Paul Ricoeur, and Jesus of Nazareth. The ties that bind them are a foundational interest in the social teachings of the Nazarene and their use of a shared dialectics with respect to living the kind of compassionate life that holds out the promise in our contemporary world of achieving something approximating universal wellness on a healthy planet at peace with itself. This work argues that the three principal subjects of the study―independently of one another―used the same dialectical method to reach the same dialectically derived conclusion about how humans can live redemptively in a fractured world.

Free Download Bernard Shaw, Automata, Robots, and Artificial Intelligence
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031492250 | 209 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 15 MB
​This project is the first to explore how Bernard Shaw intersects constructively with automata, robots and artificial intelligence (AI). Shaw was born in the golden age of the automaton. His Bible on the Life Force and Creative Evolution, Back to Methuselah, was written when Karel and Josef Čapek coined the word "robot." Shaw’s life ran in parallel with the rise of AI, and the big names in AI were his contemporaries. Moreover, empirical analyses of Shavian texts and images using AI uncovers possibilities for new interpretations, demonstrating how future renditions of his works may make use of these advanced technologies to broaden Shaw’s audience, readership and scholarship.

Free Download Stephen Watt, "Bernard Shaw’s Fiction, Material Psychology, and Affect: Shaw, Freud, Simmel"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 3319715127, 3030100677 | PDF | pages: 245 | 2.1 mb
This book traces the effects of materiality – including money and its opposite, poverty – on the psychical lives of George Bernard Shaw and his characters. While this study focuses on the protagonists of the five novels Shaw wrote in the late 1870s and early 1880s, it also explores how materialism, feeling, and emotion are linked throughout his entire canon. At the same time, it demonstrates how Shaw’s conceptions of human subjectivity parallel those of two of his contemporaries, Sigmund Freud and Georg Simmel. In particular, this book explores how theories of so-called ‘marginal economics’ influence fin de siècle thought about human psychology and the sociology of the modern metropolis, particularly London.
