Free Download David Womersley, "Reflections on the Rise and Fall of the Ancient Republicks"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0865978719 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 0.6 mb
In 1759, at the height of the Seven Years’ War, when Great Britain was suffering a series of military reversals, Montagu considered his country’s plight in an historical context formed by the study of five ancient republics: Sparta, Athens, Thebes, Carthage, and Rome. Montagu’s focus on the ancient republics gives his contribution a distinctive twist to the chorus of voices lamenting Britain’s decline, and his analysis exerted influence in three momentous eighteenth-century crises: the Seven Years’ War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolution. This is the first modern edition of Montagu’s work.

Free Download Reflections on Spacetime: Foundations, Philosophy, History By John Earman (auth.), U. Majer, H.-J. Schmidt (eds.)
1995 | 165 Pages | ISBN: 9048146127 | PDF | 6 MB
REFLECTIONS ON SPACETIME – FOUNDATIONS, PHILOSOPHY AND HISTORY During the academic year 1992/93, an interdisciplinary research group constituted itself at the Zentrum fUr interdisziplinare Forschung (ZiF) in Bielefeld, Germany, under the title ‘Semantical Aspects of Spacetime Theories’, in which philosophers and physicists worked on topics in the interpretation and history of relativity theory. The present issue consists of contributions resulting from material presented and discussed in the group during the course of that year. The scope of the papers ranges from rather specialised issues arising from general relativity such as the problem of referential indeterminacy, to foundational questions regarding spacetime in the work of Carnap, Weyl and Hilbert. It is well known that the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) admits spacetime models which are ‘exotic’ in the sense that observers could travel into their own past. This poses a number of problems for the physical interpretation of GTR which are also relevant in the philosophy of spacetime. It is not enough to exclude these exotic models simply by stating that we live in a non-exotic universe, because it might be possible to "operate time machines" by actively changing the topology of the future part of spacetime. In his contribution, Earman first reviews the attempts of physicists to prove "chronology protection theorems" (CPTs) which exclude the operation of time machines under reasonable assumptions.

Free Download Reflections of Us: How Friendship Shapes Our Identity by bright days

Friendship is a complex and multifaceted relationship that significantly influences our identity and personal growth. At its core, friendship is defined by mutual affection, support, and understanding among individuals. It transcends mere social connections and delves into shared experiences, values, and emotions. These relationships often reflect our self-concept and can be instrumental in shaping our beliefs about ourselves and our place in the world. As we navigate through life, the friends we choose can either reinforce our sense of self or challenge it, leading to profound changes in our personal narratives.

Free Download Eszter Salgó, "Psychoanalytic Reflections on Politics: Fatherlands in mothers’ hands"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0415627370 | EPUB | pages: 196 | 0.8 mb
Psychoanalytic Reflections on Politics: Fatherlands in mothers’ hands is a playful exploration of how people’s desires, fantasies, and emotions shape political events and social phenomena. It highlights the mythical sources of today’s political projects, the power of political imagination, and the function of symbolism in political thought. Eszter Salgó argues that the driving force for the formation of political communities is fantasy – ‘illusions’ in a Winnicottian sense, ‘phantasies’ in a Lacanian sense, ‘phantoms’ as described by Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok, and ‘dreams’ as interpreted by Sándor Ferenczi. She introduces the metaphor of the ‘fantastic family’ as a symbolic representation of political communities, both to reflect on people’s deeply felt desire to find in public life the resolution, love, and wholeness of early childhood, and to unveil the political elite’s readiness to don the mask of the ‘ideal parent’.

Free Download Philosophical Reflections and Syntheses By Jagdish Mehra (auth.), Jagdish Mehra (eds.)

Among the founding fathers of modern quantum physics few have contributed to our basic understanding of its concepts as much as E.P. Wigner. His articles on the epistemology of quantum mechanics and the measurement problem, and the basic role of symmetries were of fundamental importance for all subsequent work. He was also the first to discuss the concept of consciousness from the point of view of modern physics. G.G. Emch edited most of those papers and wrote a very helpful introduction into Wigner’s contributions to Natural Philosophy. The book should be a gem for all those interested in the history and philosophy of science. From a review by Silvan S. Schweber in Physics Today, October 1996: "All of the essays in Volume VI are at the level of the curious nonexpert who possesses a minimal command of the quantum mechanical formalism. They are rigorous, lucid and challenging."
