Summary : Wisdom has been understood in different ways across time and space. Since antiquity, wisdom has been considered the defining trait of the philosopher. Wisdom has been conceived as practical or theoretical, useful or for its own sake. Contemplation, meditation, and theoretical speculation are some of the activities that have been attributed to the wise both in the Western and in the Eastern traditions. In our current time, there seems to be a desperate need of wise people, especially of wise political leaders and wise collective thinking. But who are the wise? What is this type of thinking that we call wisdom? What is its use (if any)? The volume answers these questions by fostering a dialogue among different fields: ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, Islamic philosophy, early modern European philosophy, Buddhist tradition, Indian philosophy, neuroscience, and biology. What emerges is a multifarious view of wisdom that highlights how this complex notion can be grasped only in conversations among different fields. The book is accessible to a wide range of readers both specialised scholars in the fields represented in the volume as well as students and readers interested in an interdisciplinary perspective on wisdom.

Summary : Set amidst the haunting, mysterious beauty of Ancient Egypt, The Second Coming of the Star Gods is an epic tale of magic, political intrigue, and mythology. Rich in historical and mystical detail, the story centers on Khem and Tiye, two young apprentice priestesses in the Temple of the Sun. As the girls are initiated into the secret arts of dream interpretation, astronomy, and astral travel, a battle for the great empire’s throne is being waged between the Pharaoh and his half-brother--a battle in which the young apprentices will unwittingly play the decisive role. Engaging and hypnotic, The Second Coming of the Star Gods creates characters and a world so real you won’t want to soon leave. She masterfully recreates Egypt’s 4th Dynasty--the Pyramid Age--a time in which gods, goddesses, and magicians were the true rulers of the land.

Summary : Naturalism is currently the most vibrantly developing approach to philosophy, with naturalised methodologies being applied across all the philosophical disciplines. One of the areas naturalism has been focussing upon is the mind, traditionally viewed as a topic hard to reconcile with the naturalistic worldview. A number of questions have been pursued in this context. What is the place of the mind in the world? How should we study the mind as a natural phenomenon? What is the significance of cognitive science research for philosophical debates? In this book, philosophical questions about the mind are asked in the context of recent developments in cognitive science, evolutionary theory, psychology, and the project of naturalisation. Much of the focus is upon what we have learned by studying natural mental mechanisms as well as designing artificial ones. In the case of natural mental mechanisms, this includes consideration of such issues as the significance of deficits in these mechanisms for psychiatry. The significance of the evolutionary context for mental mechanisms as well as questions regarding rationality and wisdom is also explored. Mechanistic and functional models of the mind are used to throw new light on discussions regarding issues of explanation, reduction and the realisation of mental phenomena. Finally, naturalistic approaches are used to look anew at such traditional philosophical issues as the correspondence of mind to world and presuppositions of scientific research.
