On Philosophy, Intelligibility, and the Ordinary Going the Bloody Hard Way


Free Download Randy Ramal, "On Philosophy, Intelligibility, and the Ordinary: Going the Bloody Hard Way "
English | ISBN: 1793638802 | 2021 | 270 pages | EPUB | 517 KB
Randy Ramal argues that philosophy’s main responsibility lies in providing intelligibility to the ordinary language of everyday life while dispelling unwarranted skepticism. Philosophers need to go the hard way to fulfill this responsibility because of the constant and dangerous temptation to turn philosophy into a normative discipline rather than keep it as a descriptively hermeneutical enterprise. In On Philosophy, Intelligibility, and the Ordinary: Going the Bloody Hard Way, the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead is central to Ramal’s endeavor to demonstrate the need to separate the hermeneutical responsibility of philosophy from the normative aspects of responsibility. While showing the futility of labeling Whitehead as a purely disinterested philosopher who abandons the idea that ordinariness is relevant to good philosophical thinking, Ramal frames this discussion within a larger, in-depth engagement with a vast number of thinkers, philosophers, and literary figures whose works touch on the question of the ordinary.

Author: CJ Casciotta
Narrator: Stephen R. Thorne

We’re addicted to our devices. Our kids are too. None of us seem to be better for it. We all know this, but what can we do practically to become less isolated, polarized, and disconnected? This book answers that question with a bold idea: In an age of personal brands and artificial intelligence, perhaps it’s time to relearn the forgotten art of being ordinary. Writer and media producer, CJ Casciotta, outlines nine practical solutions and illuminates a better way to live in a culture addicted to media technology, a lifeboat for anyone who feels like they’re drowning in a sea of digital noise.

Clear Thinking Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results [Audiobook]


Free Download Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVP84J94 | 2023 | 6 hours and 41 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 372 MB
Author: Shane Parrish
Narrator: Shane Parrish, Will Damron

Few things will change your trajectory in life or business as much as learning to think clearly. Yet few of us recognize opportunities to think in the first place. You might believe you’re thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you won’t be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seek-love, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want. Clear Thinking gives you the tools to recognize the moments that have the potential to transform your trajectory, and reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response.

Numerical Approximation of Ordinary Differential Problems From Deterministic to Stochastic Numerical Methods


Free Download Numerical Approximation of Ordinary Differential Problems: From Deterministic to Stochastic Numerical Methods by Raffaele D’Ambrosio
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 391 Pages | ISBN : 3031313429 | 32.8 MB
This book is focused on the numerical discretization of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), under several perspectives. The attention is first conveyed to providing accurate numerical solutions of deterministic problems. Then, the presentation moves to a more modern vision of numerical approximation, oriented to reproducing qualitative properties of the continuous problem along the discretized dynamics over long times. The book finally performs some steps in the direction of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), with the intention of offering useful tools to generalize the techniques introduced for the numerical approximation of ODEs to the stochastic case, as well as of presenting numerical issues natively introduced for SDEs.
