This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV The Nature Of Time The Timelessl In order to understand better the function which time fills in experience, we shall begin by abstracting from time and by regarding reality as a timeless system of truth. Such a world is of course for us as time-subjects a mere hypothetical supposition. All we can do is to abstract from our time-experience as we have it, and conceive it as it would be with time eliminated, given for the time being our distinctions as arisen by virtue of the time-process. Such a world would be a world of abstract dialectic, such indeed as McTaggart conceives the Hegelian world to be; a dialectic silent as the dance of the deaf; a dialectic without movement or variation of attention, for ideal motion, Trendelenburg to the contrary, is a contradiction in terms; a timeless viewing, where all the stages or ideal moments exist for consciousness at once, and have their fixed setting in an ideal scheme, where reality is included and exhausted in one selfcomplete and infinite definition, the Ide, the Absolute. If we have recovered our breath, after speaking such magic and potent words, let us see what place certain categories would have in such a world. The concepts that would have to be retranslated especially in such a world are the dynamic concepts. Take for example the concept of motion. Just think of defining motion as an infinite number of intermediary positions existing at once for a subject. While you may thus shirk Zeno's problem as to where a body is when it passes from one position to another, or how positions can be made continuous, by denying any passing whatsoever, you raise a still more serious i This section is borrowed in the main from "Time and Reality," pp. 60-63. problem as to how a body can be in...

Books, as well as men, may have taking or repelling ways, which cannot be subjected to any further analysis, but must be accepted as an ultimate fact. We are sympathetically inclined toward a book if, irrespective of the drift of its contents, it gives evidence of a sincere striving after the truth and shows a freedom from cant, though we may be compelled to reject both its fundamental assumptions and final conclusions. A case in point is the present publication which, though antagonistic to all our philosophical tenets, yet arouses a sympathetic interest, largely due to the author's candor and manifest devotion to the truth. His enthusiasm betrays itself in the eloquent and exalted diction, verging sometimes on poetry and a trifle too rhapsodic for a sober treatise on metaphysics. His style recalls the cultural breadth of the lamented Professor Royce and the genial warmth of William James, both of whom the author claims as his teachers and whom he emulates as his highest models. Even when coming to close grips with an opposing system, the author never loses his scholarly placidity and the air of superior tolerance; the modern philosopher is not sufficiently concerned about the claims of objective truth, which at best he regards as an elusive ideal or an unattainable goal, to allow it to ruffle his temper or to make him indulge in violent controversy. It would not be easy to designate the author's system by one clear-cut epithet, though we may not be far from the truth when we state that it seems to tend in the direction of realism, as the title of the book would suggest. That the author has reached a bona-fide realism, however, we dare not maintain. The old-fashioned theory of substances, at all events, he rejects. He speaks, moreover, in terms which possess a strong subjective flavor. Things are to him "individual blocks," "thought contexts," "embodiments of purpose"; they "are individual by the purposes which select them and which they fulfil"; their reality depends on whether "they make a difference to a perceiving subject." Their value is determined by the experiential background out of which they roll. A primary law of things is interpenetration; hence, they appear in more than one conceptual context, they overlap and have rough edges and a fringe. --The American Ecclesiastical Review, Volume 57

This book provides realistic answers to hotly debated scientific topics: Science is about quantitative aspects of natural realities (physical, chemical, biological) but it is the result of human intellectual inquiry and therefore not “per se” materialistic. This book, with contributions from experts in physics, cosmology, mathematics, engineering, biology and genetics, covers timely and relevant topics such as the origin of the universe, the origin of life on Earth, the origin of man (intelligent life) and the origin of science. Contents:Modern Science in Historical Perspective:On the Origins of Modern Science (Julio A Gonzalo)The Post-Renaissance Revolution: The New Science (Manuel M Carreira)Frank Sherwood Taylor: The Man Who was Converted by Galileo (John Beaumont)The Limits of Science (Manuel Alfonseca)On the Intelligibility of Quantum Mechanics (Julio A Gonzalo)Uncertainty, Incompleteness, Chance, and Design (Fernando Sols)A Finite, Open and Contingent Universe (Julio A Gonzalo)On the Origin and Development of Life:A Brief History of Evolutionary Thought (Thomas B Fowler and Daniel Kuebler)Life's Intelligible Design (Manuel Alfonseca)What are the Contributions of Genetics to the Understanding of Life?

A vibrant, edgy, fresh new YA voice for fans of More Happy Than Not and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, packed with interior graffiti. Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award! When Julia finds a slur about her best friend scrawled across the back of the Kingston School for the Deaf, she covers it up with a beautiful (albeit illegal) graffiti mural. Her supposed best friend snitches, the principal expels her, and her two mothers set Julia up with a one-way ticket to a “mainstream” school in the suburbs, where she’s treated like an outcast as the only deaf student. The last thing she has left is her art, and not even Banksy himself could convince her to give that up. Out in the ’burbs, Julia paints anywhere she can, eager to claim some turf of her own. But Julia soon learns that she might not be the only vandal in town. Someone is adding to her tags, making them better, showing off—and showing Julia up in the process. She expected her art might get painted over by cops. But she never imagined getting dragged into a full-blown graffiti war. Told with wit and grit by debut author Whitney Gardner, who also provides gorgeous interior illustrations of Julia’s graffiti tags, You’re Welcome, Universe introduces audiences to a one-of-a-kind protagonist who is unabashedly herself no matter what life throws in her way. "[A] spectacular debut...a moving, beautifully written contemporary novel full of quirky art and complicated friendships...this book is a gift to be thankful for."—BookRiot

The modern Persian word for cosmology is "Keyhan-shenakht", which is also the title of a Persian book written more than 800 years ago. The same term can also be found in Old Persian. In spite of this old tradition, modern cosmology is a new~omer within the scientific disciplines in Iran. The cosmology community' is small and not yet well established. Given the spectacular recent advances in observational and theoretical cosmology, the large amount of new observational data which will become available in the near future, and the rapid expansion of the international cosmology community, it was realized that Iran should play a more active role in the exciting human endeavour which cosmology constitutes. This was the main motivation to establish a School on Cosmology in Iran. The plan is to hold a cosmology school every three years somewhere in Iran. The focus of this First School on Cosmology was chosen to be structure formation, a rapidly evolving cornerstone of modern cosmology. The topics of the school were selected in order to give both a broad overview of the current status of cosmological structure formation, and an in-depth dis cussion of the key issues theory of cosmological perturbations and analysis of cosmic microwave anisotropies. The lectures by Blanchard and Sarkar give an overview of homogeneous cosmological models and standard big bang cosmology. In his contribution, Padmanabhan presents a comprehen sive discussion of the growth of cosmological perturbations.
