Free Download Elements and Relations: Aspects of a Scientific Metaphysics by Martin Zwick
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 711 Pages | ISBN : 3030994023 | 10.3 MB
This book develops the core proposition that systems theory is an attempt to construct an "exact and scientific metaphysics," a system of general ideas central to science that can be expressed mathematically. Collectively, these ideas would constitute a nonreductionist "theory of everything" unlike what is being sought in physics. Inherently transdisciplinary, systems theory offers ideas and methods that are relevant to all of the sciences and also to professional fields such as systems engineering, public policy, business, and social work. To demonstrate the generality and importance of the systems project, the book structures its content in three parts: Essay, Notes, and Commentary. The Essay section is a short distillation of systems ideas that illuminate the problems that many types of systems face. Commentary explains systems thinking, its value, and its relation to mainstream scientific knowledge. It shows how systems ideas revise our understanding of science and how they impact our views on religion, politics, and history. Finally, Notes contains all the mathematics in the book, as well as scientific, philosophical, and poetic content that is accessible to readers without a strong mathematical background.

Free Download Gropper, Stefanie, Rösli, "In Search of the Culprit: Aspects of Medieval Authorship"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3110692678 | PDF | pages: 302 | 4.9 mb
Despite various poststructuralist rejections of the idea of a singular author-genius, the question of a textual archetype that can be assigned to a named author is still a common scholarly phantasm. The present volume sets new standards by consistently applying current theoretical approaches from literary studies to the question of concepts of authorship in medieval and early modern literature. The basic thesis of the volume is that authorship is a narratological, inner- and intertextual function rather than an extra-textual entity.

Free Download Patrick Colm Hogan, "Style in Narrative: Aspects of an Affective-Cognitive Stylistics "
English | ISBN: 0197539572 | 2020 | 320 pages | PDF | 29 MB
Literary style is something many people talk about, but few could define. Yet it is crucial for our response to narrative art. Style can facilitate or obscure the events of a story or the motivations of a character, enhance the aesthetic appeal of a narrative or complicate its emotional impact, and even inflect the political or ethical implications of a work. It is precisely this complex operation of style that Patrick Colm Hogan explains in Style in Narrative

Free Download Anne Elvey, "Ecological Aspects of War: Engagements with Biblical Texts"
English | ISBN: 0567676390 | 2017 | 208 pages | PDF | 1407 KB
In this book Australian biblical scholars engage with texts from Genesis to Revelation. With experience in the Earth Bible Project and the Ecological Hermeneutics section of the Society of Biblical Literature, contributors address impacts of war in more-than-human contexts and habitats, in conversation with selected biblical texts. Aspects of contemporary conflicts and the questions they pose for biblical studies are explored through cultural motifs such as the Rainbow Serpent of Australian Indigenous spiritualities, security and technological control, the loss of home, and ongoing colonial violence toward Indigenous people.

Free Download Harvesting the Fruits: Basic Aspects of Christian Faith in Ecumenical Dialogue By Walter Kasper
2009 | 207 Pages | ISBN: 1441162720 | EPUB | 1 MB
The Second Vatican Council declared the restoration of unity among Christians to be one of its principal concerns. Division among the Churches scandalises the world and damages that most holy cause, the preaching of The Gospel to every creature. A key figure to have worked tirelessly at these aims is Cardinal Walter Kasper, one of the most experienced, authoritative, and respected members of the Vatican hierarchy.Here Cardinal Kasper summarises the results of the Catholic Church’s official dialogues with Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican and Methodist Churches over forty years, sets out a blueprint for ‘consensus and convergence’, and sets out a map for the way forward for ecumenism. From such a source, this document is therefore of crucial importance. The book focuses on the major issues in ecumenical dialogue – Jesus Christ, The Holy Trinity, Justification, The Church and The Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist. Cardinal Kasper explains the key issues at stake and offers signposts for the way forward so that the wish of Jesus may be fulfilled: That They May All Be One.

Free Download Defen Yu, "Aspects of Lisu Phonology and Grammar, a Language of Southeast Asia"
English | 2007 | pages: 273 | ISBN: 0858835797 | PDF | 4,6 mb
This book presents a comparative analysis of aspects of the phonology and grammar of Lisu, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the border areas of China , Myanmar , Thailand and India . The analysis is mainly based on data from five Lisu dialects of southwest China , accumulated from fieldwork and from the author’s native-speaker knowledge. The study describes the phonological systems of five Lisu dialects: Shibacha, Nujiang, Ninglang, Dechang and Lipo. An unusual alignment pattern of core grammatical marking is also identified. Typologically important grammatical features are discussed in detail, including the human classifier system and the nominal and pronominal system and its interaction with kinship terms and kinship classifiers. Verbal categories such as adjectives, serial verb constructions, copula verbs are described in depth, some posing interesting questions for linguistic theory. This work makes available for the first time materials from a lesser-known dialect group and is enriched by descriptions of the cultural practices of Lisu communities. It is hoped that the book will provide a new source for both diachronic and synchronic comparison by Sino-Tibetan scholars, while its anthropological and ethnographic approach may serve as a model for future researchers intending to work in this area. hopefully the comparative description of the features of Lisu phonology and grammar will benefit comprehensive studies of the Lisu language and dialects across international boundaries in mainland Southeast Asia.
