Through The Eyes Of Madness by G. D. Garner Pdf

Through The Eyes Of Madness is one of the most compelling and unique books ever written. It is an incredible autobiographical account of a modern day adventurer who was driven to madness when he lost the women of his dreams. GD Garner is publishing his incredible tale in an effort to raise money to help families in need on each of the seven Continents. Simply put this man is a modern day Davinci. From the incredible artwork in his personal journals to the studies of science, life and architecture that can be seen in his sketches and paintings it is clear that this is no ordinary man. On the surface his book is an incredible Adventure biography that is absolutely impossible to set down. Below the surface however the book has some of the most unique and rewarding surprises and layers ever published. For starters GD has encrypted his personal journals with artistic and mathematical codes that lead the readers to physical clues he has hidden on each of the seven continents. The eccentric entrepreneur does not say exactly what these clues lead to but the inference is of something quite substantial. The book itself is littered with codes, clues and hidden messages as well of hundreds of pieces of GD s artwork and photography from around the world. The story follows a once hugely successful businessman on a five year trip across all seven continents as he strips himself of all of his worldly possessions in search of the meaning to life. Jobless homeless and with only what he can carry on his back GD travels from the Heights of Mt. Everest to the lows of Death Valley. His journey extends North of the Artic Circle and South of the Antarctic pass. The chapters are richly detailed with death, murder and real life adventure as GD continually puts himself in situations that are seemingly un survivable. But the book is far from just an adventure junky read. Each chapter contains an emotional life lesson that lets you see a grown man transform before your very eyes. It is a real life National Treasure, Indiana Jones and the Davinci Code roled into one. Not only is it an amazingly rich and textured account of GD Garners fall from the pinnacle of a perfect life but it also follows him on an incredible journey that most people can only dream about.

Hegel's Theory of Madness by Daniel Berthold-Bond Pdf

This book shows how an understanding of the nature and role of insanity in Hegel's writing provides intriguing new points of access to many of the central themes of his larger philosophic project. Berthold-Bond situates Hegel's theory of madness within the history of psychiatric practice during the great reform period at the turn of the eighteenth century, and shows how Hegel developed a middle path between the stridently opposed camps of "empirical" and "romantic" medicine, and of "somatic" and "psychical" practitioners. A key point of the book is to show that Hegel does not conceive of madness and health as strictly opposing states, but as kindred phenomena sharing many of the same underlying mental structures and strategies, so that the ontologies of insanity and rationality involve a mutually illuminating, mirroring relation. Hegel's theory is tested against the critiques of the institution of psychiatry and the very concept of madness by such influential twentieth-century authors as Michel Foucault and Thomas Szasz, and defended as offering a genuinely reconciling position in the contemporary debate between the "social labeling" and "medical" models of mental illness.

Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille Pdf

Bataille’s first novel, published under the pseudonym ‘Lord Auch’, is still his most notorious work. In this explicit pornographic fantasy, the young male narrator and his lovers Simone and Marcelle embark on a sexual quest involving sadism, torture, orgies, madness and defilement, culminating in a final act of transgression. Shocking and sacreligious, Story of the Eye is the fullest expression of Bataille’s obsession with the closeness of sex, violence and death. Yet it is also hallucinogenic in its power, and is one of the erotic classics of the twentieth century.

The Virus in the Age of Madness by Bernard-Henri Lévy Pdf

A trenchant look at how the coronavirus reveals the dangerous fault lines of contemporary society With medical mysteries, rising death tolls, and conspiracy theories beamed minute by minute through the vast web universe, the coronavirus pandemic has irrevocably altered societies around the world. In this sharp essay, world-renowned philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy interrogates the many meanings and metaphors we have assigned to the pandemic—and what they tell us about ourselves. Drawing on the philosophical tradition from Plato and Aristotle to Lacan and Foucault, Lévy asks uncomfortable questions about reality and mythology: he rejects the idea that the virus is a warning from nature, the inevitable result of global capitalism; he questions the heroic status of doctors, asking us to think critically about the loci of authority and power; he challenges the panicked polarization that dominates online discourse. Lucid, incisive, and always original, Lévy takes a bird’s-eye view of the most consequential historical event of our time and proposes a way to defend human society from threats to our collective future.
