Collected Fables

Collected Fables
James Thurber, "Collected Fables"
English | 2019 | pages: 320 | ISBN: 0062909177 | EPUB | 37,2 mb
"James Thurber was a comedic genius. His fables are not simply parodies of Aesop. They are wry, accurate, and powerful reflections of ourselves, our foibles, our follies, and, above all, our self-importance. And they are very, very funny." - Neil Gaiman

Cognitive Psychology in the Middle Ages (Contributions in Psychology)

Cognitive Psychology in the Middle Ages (Contributions in Psychology)
Cognitive Psychology in the Middle Ages (Contributions in Psychology) By Simon Kemp
1996 | 152 Pages | ISBN: 0313300518 | PDF | 48 MB
This book summarizes the ideas about cognitive psychology expressed in the writings of medieval Europeans. Up until the 13th century, Christians who wrote about cognitive psychology, foremost of whom was St. Augustine, did so in the Neoplatonic tradition. The translation of the works of Aristotle and some of the works of Arab scholars into Latin during the 12th and 13th centuries brought a high level of sophistication to the theories. The author touches upon the works of Augustine, Averro^Des, Avicenna, Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, William of Ockham, and others.

Climate Chaos Making Art and Politics on a Dying Planet

Climate Chaos Making Art and Politics on a Dying Planet
Neala Schleuning, "Climate Chaos: Making Art and Politics on a Dying Planet"
English | ISBN: 1570273812 | 2021 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Kant sought to contain the ancient fear and terror of the natural world in his concept of the sublime. He argued that with human reason we could safely confront an uncontrolled and powerful natural world. But today we no longer have the luxury of the Kantian sublime as we face the oppressive claustrophobic horror of drastic global climate change. The earth itself is now threatened and livelihoods are more precarious. A new sublime incorporating the experience of awe and immensity - coupled with a profound respect for the presence of a great and unpredictable force of nature - can shape our response to the Anthropocene. Climate Chaos reassesses the Kantian sublime, opening up the opportunity to reconsider its dark side and our own fears, as we come face to face with the agency of nature beyond a rational response. Can we find ways to change our thinking, art, and politics to move beyond through the catastrophe of the present? A new aesthetics and a new political narrative of living in harmony with the earth is emerging.

Civil Society Under Authoritarianism The China Model

Civil Society Under Authoritarianism The China Model
Civil Society Under Authoritarianism: The China Model By Jessica C. Teets
2014 | 252 Pages | ISBN: 1107038758 | PDF | 3 MB
Despite the dominant narrative of the repression of civil society in China, Civil Society under Authoritarianism: The China Model argues that interactions between local officials and civil society facilitate a learning process, whereby each actor learns about the intentions and work processes of the other. Over the past two decades, often facilitated by foreign donors and problems within the general social framework, these interactions generated a process in which officials learned the benefits and disadvantages of civil society. Civil society supports local officials' efforts to provide social services and improve public policies, yet it also engages in protest and other activities that challenge social stability and development. This duality motivates local officials in China to construct a 'social management' system - known as consultative authoritarianism - to encourage the beneficial aspects and discourage the dangerous ones.
