Free Download Rethinking Autism With Dolto: Syllable Soup
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032655143 | 270 Pages | PDF (True) | 11 MB
Dolto theorizes that the infant in utero, deep in dreams, is receptive to the audition of "phonemes" during the pre-conscious "archaic stage" of psychosexual maturation. That dream-work on words-an idiosyncratic prehistory at the onset of mental and emotional life-secures the unconscious circulation of affect and the ontogeny of thought long prior to speech, seeding associative thinking and facilitating self-regulation. Kathleen Saint-Onge uses the written work of four nonverbal autistic authors in seeking corroboration for Dolto’s formulations, finding thoughtful self-reflections that relate the experience of living in silence with relentless anxiety while relying on regression as a defence. Dolto’s unprecedented insights into the infant’s earliest learning carry formidable implications for autism interventions, and for primary language and literacy. At issue is an enduring susceptibility to archaic echoes-the haphazard, securing return of pre-invested phonemes-in communicative exchanges, including reading and writing.

Free Download Rethinking Philosophy With Borges, Zambrano, Paz, and Plato (Continental Philosophy and the History of Thought) by Hugo Moreno
English | February 16, 2022 | ISBN: 1793639280 | True EPUB/PDF | 240 pages | 1/20.2 MB
In Rethinking Philosophy with Borges, Zambrano, Paz, and Plato, Hugo Moreno argues that in Ficciones, Claros del bosque, and El mono gramático, Jorge Luis Borges, María Zambrano, and Octavio Paz practice a literary way of philosophizing-a way of seeking and communicating knowledge of reality that takes up analogical procedures. They deploy analogy as an indispensable and irreplaceable heuristic tool and literary device to convey their insight and perplexities on the nature of existence. Borges’ ironic approach involves reading and writing philosophy as fiction. Zambrano’s poetic reason is a mode of writing and thinking based on an imaginative sort of recollection that is ultimately a visionary’s poetizing technique. Paz’s poetic thinking relies on analogy to correlate and harmonize an array of worldviews, ideas, and discourses.

Free Download Rethinking the industrial revolution: five centuries of transition from agrarian to industrial capitalism in England By Zmolek, Michael Andrew
2013 | 915 Pages | ISBN: 9004219870 | PDF | 3 MB
In ‘Rethinking the Industrial Revolution: Five Centuries of Transition from Agrarian to Industrial Capitalism in England’, Michael Andrew molek offers the first in-depth study of the evolution of English manufacturing from the feudal and early modern periods within the context of the development of agrarian capitalism. With an emphasis on the relationship between Parliament and working Britons, this work challenges readers to "rethink" the common perception of the role of the state in the first industrial revolution as essentially passive. The work chronicles how a long train of struggles led by artisans resisting efforts by employers to transform production along capitalist lines, prompted employers to appeal to the state to suppress this resistance by coercion.

Free Download Rethinking the BSE Crisis: A Study of Scientific Reasoning under Uncertainty By Louise Cummings (auth.)
2010 | 242 Pages | ISBN: 9048195039 | PDF | 4 MB
In 1986, the emergence of a novel brain disease in British cattle presented a unique challenge to scientists. How that challenge was addressed has been the subject of a public inquiry and numerous academic studies conducted to date. However, none of these investigations has sought to examine the reasoning of scientists during this critical period in the public health of the UK. Using concepts and techniques in informal logic, argumentation and fallacy theory, this study reconstructs and evaluates the reasoning of scientists in the ten-year period between 1986 and 1996. Specifically, a form of presumptive reasoning is described in which extensive use is made of arguments traditionally identified as informal fallacies. In the context of the adverse epistemic conditions that confronted scientists during the BSE epidemic, these arguments were anything but fallacious, serving instead to confer a number of epistemic gains upon scientific inquiry. This book argues for a closer integration of philosophy with public health science, an integration that is exemplified by the case of scientific reasoning during the BSE affair. It will therefore be of interest to advanced students, academics, researchers and professionals in the areas of public health science and epidemiology, as well as philosophical disciplines such as informal logic, argumentation and fallacy theory and epistemology.

Free Download Rethinking Thomas Jefferson’s Writings on Slavery and Race By M. Andrew Holowchak
2020 | 175 Pages | ISBN: 1527544486 | PDF | 2 MB
Revisionism has been the historical vogue for well over two decades concerning Jeffersonian scholarship. This movement has been an attempt to neutralize the avowed hagiographical scholarship on Jefferson by aiming to offer an all-too-human Thomas Jefferson. The regrettable result has been a depiction, iterated and reiterated uncritically by scholars, of a less-than-human Jefferson, presenting him as an inveterate hypocrite and racist. Thus, Jeffersonian scholarship, as argued here, has become an exercise in useless, fatuous repetition of the same claims that has impeded attempts by serious scholars to gain fresh insights into the mind of one of the greatest Americans. This book offers a stimulating, provocative challenge to the stale revisionist claims on Jefferson concerning his hypocrisy and racism. It will appeal to mavens of Jefferson, as well as scholars intent on moving forward with Jeffersonian scholarship. The book will also appeal to those persons who believe it is time to resituate Jefferson on his little mountain.
