Angels As Spiritual Guides, David San Filippo Ph.D.
Angels As Spiritual Guides, David San Filippo Ph.D.
David San Filippo Ph.D.
The existence of angels has been discussed for centuries in legendary, philosophical, and religious writings. Many people have reported encounters with angels at different times in their life. Near-death research has recorded angelic encounters, during near-death experiences, by describing encounters with beings of light or angelic forms recognizable to the experiencer. This essay will discuss some legendary, theological, and philosophical beliefs that support the belief in the reality of angels as messengers, guides, and guardians to human beings and their function as spiritual guides during near-death experiences.

Wittgenstein And The Metaphysics Of Ethical Value, Julian Friedland
Wittgenstein And The Metaphysics Of Ethical Value, Julian Friedland
Julian Friedland
This paper develops Wittgenstein’s view of how experiences of ethical value contribute to our understanding of the world. Such experiences occur when we perceive certain intrinsic attributes of a particular being, object, or location as valuable irrespective of any concern for personal gain. It is shown that experiences of ethical value essentially involve a characteristic ‘listening’ to the ongoing transformations and actualizations of a given form of life—literally or metaphorically speaking. Such immediate impressions of spontaneous sympathy and agreement reveal ethics and aesthetics as transcendental. Ultimately, I will attempt to show that from this point of view, forms of life …
The Alleged Pragmatism Of T.S. Eliot, Gregory Brazeal
The Alleged Pragmatism Of T.S. Eliot, Gregory Brazeal
Gregory Brazeal
Before gaining recognition as a poet, T.S. Eliot pursued a doctoral degree in philosophy. His dissertation on the philosophy of F.H. Bradley has been a source of longstanding critical dispute. Some read the dissertation as a defense of Bradley’s views, while others read it as a repudiation of Bradley in favor of a kind of American philosophical pragmatism. This essay considers whether the dissertation can be properly characterized as pragmatist, despite Eliot’s enthusiastic and repeated dismissals of William James’ philosophy of truth. Eliot comes closest to a Jamesian view of belief when he writes of the endless ways we can …
The Five Levels Of Inventions- A Classification Of Patents From Triz Perspective, Umakant Mishra
The Five Levels Of Inventions- A Classification Of Patents From Triz Perspective, Umakant Mishra
Umakant Mishra
The Five levels of Inventions is a popular concept in the study of TRIZ. Generally patent databases (like USPTO) classify inventions according to their topics or areas of invention. But they don’t classify inventions according to their easiness or usefulness or inventiveness. Altshuller classified patents into five levels according to their levels of inventiveness. The higher levels of inventions are difficult (and rare) while the lower levels of inventions are easy and plenty in number. This article attempts to explain the five levels of inventions in simple terms and the purpose behind such a classification. Although there are limitations and …

The Chinese Challenge. Hallucinations For Other Futures, Rudolf Kaehr
Rudolf Kaehr
The main question is: What can we learn from China that China is not teaching us? It is proposed that a study of polycontextural logic and morphogrammatics could be helpful to discover this new kind of rationality.

Imaginary Goods And Keynesian Kaleidics: Rejoinder To Bruce Caldwell, Greg Hill
Imaginary Goods And Keynesian Kaleidics: Rejoinder To Bruce Caldwell, Greg Hill
Greg Hill
In his reply to my critical book review, “Don’t Shoot the Messenger: Caldwell’s Hayek and the Insularity of the Austrian Project (Hill 2005),” Bruce Caldwell explains his decision to focus on Hayek’s methodological views, criticizes my account of Carl Menger’s “imaginary goods,” and rejects the line of reasoning I advanced drawing Keynesian conclusions from Hayekian premises. In response, I argue that Caldwell’s proposed methodology for assessing the significance of “imaginary goods” in advanced market economies is ill-conceived and that my pathway from Hayek to Keynes merely pursues a thoroughgoing subjectivism to its inexorable conclusion, which is not, as Caldwell suggests, …

Perspectives On The Fears Of Death & Dying, David San Filippo Ph.D.
Perspectives On The Fears Of Death & Dying, David San Filippo Ph.D.
David San Filippo Ph.D.
This E-Book will examine some perspectives on fear, the fears of death, and constructs used to overcome or deal with the fears of death. By examining the literature on fear in general, a framework can be developed to understand how individuals become fearful. In the section, “Fears of Death,” what people fear about death and why they fear it will be discussed.
Historical Perspectives On Attitudes Concerning Death And Dying, David San Filippo Ph.D.
Historical Perspectives On Attitudes Concerning Death And Dying, David San Filippo Ph.D.
David San Filippo Ph.D.
Beliefs and practices concerning death have changed throughout human history. In pre-modern times, death at a young age was common due to living conditions and medical practices. As medical science has advanced and helped humans live longer, attitudes and responses to death also have changed. In modern Western societies, death is often ignored or feared. Changes in lifestyles and improved medical science have depersonalized death and made it an encroachment on life instead of part of life. This has left many people ill equipped to deal with death when it touches their lives.
Heidegger Y El Otro. Ser Y Tiempo: Una Ética Postmetafísica, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Heidegger Y El Otro. Ser Y Tiempo: Una Ética Postmetafísica, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Andre de Macedo Duarte
Criticizing current interpretations that stress the existential solipsism of the resolute Dasein, the present investigation emphasizes Heidegger’s contribution to the question of the acknowledgment of otherness in Being and Time. The key to uncover the post-metaphysical ethical dimension of the existential analytic is to be found in the theoretical articulation between the phenomenological analysis of anguish and that of the call of conscience. The main argument is that by responsibly hearing to the strange appeal of conscience, resolute Dasein is simultaneously opened to the acknowledgment and welcoming of the other as other.

Dewey: The First Ghost-Buster?, Leslie Marsh
Dewey: The First Ghost-Buster?, Leslie Marsh
Leslie Marsh
Ghost-busting, or less colloquially, anti-Cartesianism or non-representationalism, is a loose and internally fluid coalition (philosophical and empirical) comprising Dynamical, Embodied, Extended, Distributed, and Situated (DEEDS) theories of cognition. Gilbert Ryle – DEEDS’ anglophonic masthead [1] – supposedly exorcised the Cartesian propensity to postulate mind as an apparition-like entity somehow situated in the body. Ryle’s behaviouristic recommendation was, that just as we don’t see the wind blowing but only see the trees waving, so too should we conceive intelligence as manifest though action. The Cartesian ghost of old has mutated, taking the form of the ‘Machine in the Machine’, the brain …

Always More Than One Art: Jean-Luc Nancy's The Muses, Ann Taylor
Always More Than One Art: Jean-Luc Nancy's The Muses, Ann Taylor
Ann Taylor
Jean-Luc Nancy begins The Muses with an essay entitled, “Why Are There Several Arts And Not Just One?” It is an ambitious essay, one which calls into question not only the specific aesthetic theories of Hegel and Heidegger, but essentially the entire Western aesthetic tradition. While Nancy provides some interesting discussions of the problem as he considers some of the more prominent aesthetic theories in Western philosophy, to what extent does it matter that we know (or do not know) whether art is singular or plural in essence, or what “art” is at all? What is the purpose of philosophizing …
Islam And The Science Of Economics, Syed Farid Alatas
Islam And The Science Of Economics, Syed Farid Alatas
farid alatas
Economists have generally maintained a rigorous separation between positive and normative economics. In the Muslim world, however, concerted attempts have been made to relate moral conduct to economic institutions and practices. Demands for an alternative theory and practice of development to both modernization and Marxist theories had led to the rise of Islamic economics. But while Islamic economic thinking presents an ideal of development that is based on an Islamic philosophy of life, it is beset by a number of problems which make it difficult to be considered as an alternative to modernist discourse as far as empirical theory is …
