Does the real world, defined as a world of objects that exist independent of human interests, concerns, and cognitive activities, actually exist? Jan Westerhoff argues that we have good reason to believe it does not. He draws on the philosophy of Madhyamaka Buddhism, but defends his stance in a Western philosophical framework.
Jahazpur is a small market town or qasba with a diverse population of more than 20,000 people located in Bhilwara District in the North Indian state of Rajasthan. With roots deep in history and legend, Shiptown (a literal translation of landlocked Jahazpur's name) today is a subdistrict headquarters and thus a regional hub for government services unavailable in villages. Rural and town lives have long intersected in Shiptown's market streets, which are crammed with shopping opportunities, many designed to allure village customers. Temples, mosques, and shrines attract Hindus and Muslims from nearby areas. In the town's densely settled center—still partially walled, with arched gateways int...
Understanding soul, spirit, and god through quantum physics and music. The author describes the quantum fields that constitute soul, spirit, and god, how they are accessible to us through music, and what that means for our everyday life.
This 1996 book describes an exciting theoretical paradigm for visual perception based on experimental and computational insights.
“Live with a Happy Heart.”- It is the belief that no matter how difficult life is, no matter how bad the day is, no matter how tired you are, you should attempt to accomplish everything with a cheerful spirit. Remember that life is brief, and we don't have time to let negativity drain us and leave us empty. Having a Happy Heart ensures that love is still the basis for your actions.

"A Blithe Heart" is a collection of 30+ writers who have contributed their work for the book through poems and stories.
"Mahoney's starting point is the problem of essentialism in social science. Essentialism--the belief that the members of a category possess hidden properties ("essences") that make them members of the category and that endow them with a certain nature--is appropriate for scientific categories ("atoms", for instance) but not for human ones ("revolutions," for instance). Despite this, much social science research takes place from within an essentialist orientation; those who reject this assumption goes so far in the other direction as to reject the idea of an external reality, independent of human beings, altogether. Mahoney proposes an alternative approach that aspires to bridge this enduring...

What do philosophy and computer science have in common? It turns out, quite a lot! In providing an introduction to computer science (using Python), Daniel Lim presents in this book key philosophical issues, ranging from external world skepticism to the existence of God to the problem of induction. These issues, and others, are introduced through the use of critical computational concepts, ranging from image manipulation to recursive programming to elementary machine learning techniques. In illuminating some of the overlapping conceptual spaces of computer science and philosophy, Lim teaches readers fundamental programming skills and allows them to develop the critical thinking skills essenti...
We live in an inter-connected world. In the era of Industry 4.0, technology is getting embedded more and more in the way ‘we learn, live, work, and play’. This progression is accelerating at a pace never seen before. Interdisciplinary and collaborative research across disciplines within the Technology domain and Management domain, and across the Technology-Management interface is opening up exciting new possibilities for solving problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline, domain or practice, and helping to create a brave new world. The goal of this conference was to bring together scholars, researchers, consultants, and practitioners to share their interdisciplinary research and consultative work in Technology and Management. Selected papers were then peer-reviewed and authors were invited to present their work in the conference.
