Published in 1999 to mark the centenary of Vladimir Nabokov's birth, this volume brings together the work of eleven of the world's foremost Nabokov scholars offering perspectives on the writer and his fiction. Their essays cover a broad range of topics and approaches, from close readings of major texts, including Speak, Memory and Pale Fire, to penetrating discussions of the significant relationship between Nabokov's personal beliefs and experiences and his art. Several of the essays attempt to uncover the artistic principles that underlie the author's literary creations, while others seek to place Nabokov's work in a variety of literary and cultural contexts. Among these essays are a first glimpse at a little-known work, The Tragedy of Mr Morn, as well as a perspective on Nabokov's most famous novel, Lolita. The volume as a whole offers valuable insight into Nabokov scholarship.

The must-read summary of Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan's book: "Confronting Reality: Doing What Matters to Get Things Right". This complete summary of the ideas from Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan's book "Confronting Reality" shows that confronting reality means changing the purpose and direction of your business on a regular basis, in order to reflect ongoing changes which occur in the marketplace. Most businesses try and get by on the assumptions of yesterday rather than the realities of today. Companies that confront reality on a consistent basis search for the current answers to three crucial questions: 1. What’s the nature of the industry we’re in today? 2. Where’s our industry heading? 3. How will we continue to make the money we hope to make in this industry in the future? Armed with the answers to these questions, business managers can then analyse the components which determine their enterprise’s success or failure. Added-value of this summary: • Save time • Understand key concepts • Increase your business knowledge To learn more, read "Confronting Reality" and discover a very practical perspective on today’s business.

The book aims at a comprehensive account of the relationship between Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Russell’s philosophy as it developed between 1903 and 1918. The focus is on the central nucleus of the Tractatus, i.e., on its ontology and the picture theory of language. On Russell’s side, the multiple-relation theory of judgment has been chosen as the leading theme around which the presentation of several other issues is organized. Whereas the similarity between Russell’s and Wittgenstein’s problems is pointed out, the deep difference between their solutions is acknowledged, in particular with reference to the opposition between objects and names on the one hand, and facts and propositions on the other.

Vladislav Golyanik proposes several new methods for dense non-rigid structure from motion (NRSfM) as well as alignment of point clouds. The introduced methods improve the state of the art in various aspects, i.e. in the ability to handle inaccurate point tracks and 3D data with contaminations. NRSfM with shape priors obtained on-the-fly from several unoccluded frames of the sequence and the new gravitational class of methods for point set alignment represent the primary contributions of this book. About the Author: Vladislav Golyanik is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany. The current focus of his research lies on 3D reconstruction and analysis of general deformable scenes, 3D reconstruction of human body and matching problems on point sets and graphs. He is interested in machine learning (both supervised and unsupervised), physics-based methods as well as new hardware and sensors for computer vision and graphics (e.g., quantum computers and event cameras).

The ramifications of these psychological distortions can be particularly pronounced during organizational change or crisis. During such periods, individuals may feel threatened and respond with denial, blocking out information that suggests their roles or the organization may be at risk. This resistance can proliferate at various organizational levels, leading to misinformation and, in some cases, outright sabotage of change efforts. For example, when an organization announces a restructuring process, employees may downplay or deny their involvement or the necessity for changes, thereby complicating the execution and acceptance of the initiative. Projection can further complicate these dynamics. In times of uncertainty, team members may unconsciously project their anxiety and fears onto their colleagues, fostering distrust or competition rather than collaboration. For instance, if a project manager feels insecure about their leadership capabilities, they might project this insecurity onto their team, questioning their commitment or competence. Such behaviors not only strain working relationships but also distract from the shared goals and objectives that are crucial for organizational success. The intertwining of denial and projection can also obscure the development of a healthy feedback culture. In an environment where negative feedback is met with denial or hardship, employees may refrain from voicing concerns or suggestions. When feedback loops are stymied, opportunities for learning and improvement are lost, further entrenching inefficiencies. A leader who cannot accept constructive criticism may inadvertently cultivate a culture where team members fear reprisal for expressing dissenting views.

Is truth objective or relative? What exists independently of our minds? This book is about these two questions. The essays in its pages variously defend and critique answers to each, grapple over the proper methodology for addressing them, and wonder whether either question is worth pursuing. In so doing, they carry on a long and esteemed tradition - for our two questions are among the oldest of philosophical issues, and have vexed almost every major philosopher, from Plato, to Kant to Wittgenstein. Fifteen eminent contributors bring fresh perspectives, renewed energy and original answers to debates which have been the focus of a tremendous amount of interest in the last three decades both within philosophy and the culture at large.

Higher Vibrations for Health, Happiness, and Harmony shows you why your life is the way it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and how to take back your power so you can take charge of what happens in your life. What we must realize is that much of our influences in our growing years were unaware of some critical pieces of knowledge about who we are as a complete human being and the power we possess to direct and navigate our life. In the absence of these missing pieces of knowledge, we as a human race have taken on many faulty and limited beliefs about ourselves, and about the way life is to be lived. This has profoundly affected the quality of our life. The missing pieces of knowledge not only connect us with our true power as a human being, but they connect us with the fundamental laws that govern everything in the universe, and empower us to co-create the life of our desires. Without this knowledge, not only is it virtually impossible for any of us to live a complete life of balance and fulfillment, but collectively, we cannot achieve world harmony and peace because we are operating with faulty and limited beliefs. In this book you will find the truth of your power and the natural laws, and how to use those to not only live the life you came to this planet for, but to strongly influence world peace and harmony without lifting a finger. You have that much power within you; you simply need to learn how to use it intentionally.

Truth written by Pascal Engel and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-12-18 with Philosophy categories.
In this critical introduction to contemporary philosophical issues in the theory of truth Pascal Engel provides clear and authoritative exposition of recent and current ideas while providing original perspectives that advances discussion of the key issues. This book begins with a presentation of the classical conceptions of truth - the correspondence theory, the coherence theory and verificationist and pragmatist accounts - before examining so-called minimalist and deflationist conceptions that deny truth can be anything more than a thin concept holding no metaphysical weight. The debates between those who favour substantive conceptions of the classical kind and those who advocate minimalist and deflationist conceptions are explored. Engel argues that, although the minimalist conception of truth is basically right, it does not follow that truth can be eliminated from our philosophical thinking as some upholders of radical deflationist views have claimed. Questions about truth and realism are examined and the author shows how the realism/anti-realism debate remains a genuine, meaningful issue for a theory of truth and has not been undermined by deflationist views. Even if a metaphysical substantive theory of truth has little chance to succeed, Engel concludes, truth can keep a central role within our thinking, as a norm or guiding value of our rational inquiries and practices, in the philosophy of knowledge and in ethics.
