There is no great genius without some touch of madness by IntroBooks Team Pdf

Known as the “Father of Western Philosophy”, Aristotle imparted priceless wisdom to the world during his time. And even in the modern era, people turn to his quotes in times of dilemma to get a clear picture of their life and its problems. Among his numerous teachings, one of his sayings that really stands out is- “There is no great genius without some touch of madness”. This philosophy has passed the test of time with flying colors and is very much applicable even today. It not only makes us think what defines genius but also raises several questions as to the real meaning of madness and why every intelligent or smart individual cannot be an individual. Having said that, words of an individual cannot and should not be measured through a singular lens. Thus, a different point of view, scientific, to be precise, should be used to examine these deep words that the Greek scientist and philosopher left for us to figure out.

My Madness Saved Me by Thomas Szasz Pdf

"The vast literature on Virginia Woolf's life, work, and marriage falls into two groups. A large majority is certain that she was mentally ill, and a small minority is equally certain that she was not mentally ill but was misdiagnosed by psychiatrists. In this daring exploration of Woolf's life and work, Thomas Szasz--famed for his radical critique of psychiatric concepts, coercions, and excuses--examines the evidence and rejects both views. Instead, he looks at how Virginia Woolf, as well as her husband Leonard, used the concept of madness and the profession of psychiatry to manage and manipulate their own and each other's lives.Do we explain achievement when we attribute it to the fictitious entity we call ""genius""? Do we explain failure when we attribute it to the fictitious entity we call ""madness""? Or do we deceive ourselves the same way that the person deceives himself when he attributes the easy ignition of hydrogen to its being ""flammable""? Szasz interprets Virginia Woolf's life and work as expressions of her character, and her character as the ""product"" of her free will. He offers this view as a corrective against the prevailing, ostensibly scientific view that attributes both her ""madness"" and her ""genius"" to biological-genetic causes. We tend to attribute exceptional achievement to genius, and exceptional failure to madness. Both, says Szasz, are fictitious entities."

The Essence of Aristotle Life by Isa Singh Pdf

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and scientist, better known as the teacher of Alexander the Great. He was a student of Plato and is considered an important figure in Western Philosophy. Famous for his writings on physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology, he is considered much ahead of his time. His intellectual knowledge ranged from every known field of science and arts of that era. His writing includes work in physics, chemistry, biology, zoology, botany, psychology, political theory, logic, metaphysics, history, literary theory, and rhetoric. One of his greatest achievements was formulating a finished system also known as Aristotelian syllogistic. His other significant contribution was towards the development of zoology. It is true that Aristotle’s Zoology is now obsolete but his work and contribution was unchallenged till the 19th century. His contribution towards almost all subjects on earth and its influence makes him one of the most famous and top personalities of all time.

Leading with Wisdom by Paul George Claudel,Pierre Casse Pdf

This is a book about Leadership, with a specific emphasis on how leaders can be inspired by the thoughts of notable philosophers and thinkers on various topics connected more or less directly with their field of activity. Leaders are, in all priority, leaders of people, which means that matters of human experience, human behaviour and human relations are essential to their trade. So, the reader should not be surprised that a majority of the quotations presented in this book address the question of the human factor. Who are we? What is the meaning of life? Is there a purpose to life and also, of course, the whole issue of ethics: how should we behave, what ought we or ought we not to do? These are some of the essential questions that we shall discuss in this book. Empathy, as it is well known, is a critical leadership key success factor. But to empathize, to feel and care for others, we need to understand what goes on with them, what their needs are, what they love and what they fear. And this knowledge can only be achieved as a projection onto others of what we feel ourselves. As humans, we are mirror images of each other, at least with regard to the essential aspects of our being. For leaders to empathize with their followers and business partners, they need to start by understanding and knowing themselves. ‘Know thyself’, said the great Socrates, which implies that by knowing ourselves we can then know others, by sheer identification with them. Hence, by increasing their understanding of the essentials of life and people, leaders will grow wiser in dealing with their fellow humans and hopefully develop into role models for their followers. This book, however, is not limited to exploring the human factor alone. It also provides wise thoughts and advice about dealing with many situations and challenges encountered in our personal and professional lives. By dwelling on these issues, leaders will be likely to learn how to improve their professional practice and enhance their performance altogether.

Chance in Physics, Computer Science and Philosophy by Walter Hehl Pdf

Chance is uncanny to us. We thought it didn't exist, that God or a reasonable explanation was behind everything. But we know today: It exists. We know that much of what surrounds us and which we do not see through, nevertheless runs causally. Unlike what was thought in the days of the Enlightenment, chance is the rule around us rather than lawful order. The clouds are stochastic fractals, the waves on the sea are pure random machinery. The philosopher Charles Peirce recognized the fundamental importance of chance in precisely this sense, even before quantum and chaos theory, and gave the doctrine its name: Tychism. Without chance there would be nothing new, no life, no creativity, no history. This book looks at chance from the perspective of physics, computer science, and philosophy. It spans from antiquity to quantum physics and shows that chance is firmly built into the world and that it would not exist without chance. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Der Zufall in Physik, Informatik und Philosophie by Walter Hehl, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
