Our publishing co-op is looking for a marketing volunteer, which could lead to paying work once we are funded or selling more books. (We are currently developing a crowdfunding campaign / investment round to launch later this fall.)
Dear @histodons and everyone who's interested in #history of #philosophy and #religions. I'm currently working on a potpourri of #GDR history, #Kant reception and studies about the theosophical society/spiritualism and "völkische Bewegungen" around 1900. Anyone else interested in these topics? Feel free to connect..;)
“Remember, it is not enough to be hit or insulted to be harmed, you must believe that you are being harmed. If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation. Which is why it is essential that we not respond impulsively to impressions; take a moment before reacting, and you will find it easier to maintain control.”
"If #Heidegger had been forced to write as is expected of academic philosophers today, this project [B&T] would not have been feasible, since the complexity of his argumentation cannot be broken down into simple informal deductive arguments as the maxims of ‘simplicity’ and ‘fluidity’ demand."
"The moral of Waldow’s reading is that we should not read the Meditations as an account of what the mind is but as an account of what the mind can do and how we can upraise ourselves not as metaphysicians but in our interactions with the world and others."
"One of the most interesting parts of the book was the section on Emerson, in which West places Emerson in the larger historical context of thinkers like Marx and Nietzsche. I had not realized before how similar Emerson’s outlook is to Nietzsche, and it made me wonder how many Nietzscheans are unwitting Emersonians."
The Zagreb Applied Ethics Conference 2023 at the Zagreb Institute of Philosophy was great, with a truly international roster of presenters. Loved it! 👍🏻
No one will believe this, but that's ok. We'll couch it in a what if to make it easier to digest.
What if, when you brought your creative will to bear, the energy that drove you to create was bound in your creation? A piece of your soul woven into reality. What would that look like from the other side of veil?
What if I spoke to someone from the other side last night, and they said that these creations are alive? That they ripple like firefish on the surface of an obsidian pond, the poetry swimming with the music, slipping through art and magick in fractal schools of imagination, the brilliance of math waltzing with philosophy, storytelling a prophecy of infinite possibility.
What if they sang that the Akashic record is a living ecosystem of imagination when seen from the in-between? And that the most curious thing is that even as we create it, it creates us - our dreams brush it as we drift in sleep, our desire is born within it, and we ourselves are the result of the creative spark in our parents eyes (or thighs, as it may be)....?
And what if this is why the fractal elves (themselves woven of this weave) laugh at us when we cross the boundary - just as we laugh at NPCs and characters like Deadpool who break the 4th wall?
Philosophy friends, please give me your best recommendations for books about business ethics. Specifically academic introductions to the topic... Thank you in advance! @philosophy#philosophy#businessethics
