Ecology: Welcome Home
The book combines philosophical depth with a wide and deep discussion covering the essential existential challenges humanity is currently experiencing. Russia's brutal aggression, which has shaken the world and is trying to destroy Ukraine, has led to a new wave of the global arms race, increasing and multiplying the problems caused by climate change. Thinkers, philosophers, and scientists of many countries are thinking about what awaits humanity if it does not wake up‑if it does not begin to rethink its path of civilizational development fundamentally. What can help to throw off the shackles of the ideology of economic growth and expansion of consumption? What can help to realize that hum...

Preeminence of Myth and the Decline of Instrumental Reason
Jean Gebser (1905-1973) was a philosopher who examined how cultures are generated, situated and oriented in the world. He explored meaningful interconnections between cultures, seeking to provide a fuller account of their nature and workings. Gebser was a man of science, the arts and mysticism, who was interested in the direct human experience of unity with the divine. He perceived the fullness of humankind to occur in the coalescence of spirituality and consciousness. This essay provides an intellectual biography of Gebser's two-volume work, The Ever-Present Origin, Part I: Foundations of the Aperspectival World and Part II: Manifestations of the Aperspectival World. An overview of the chap...

Past and Present Lithuanian Polyphonic Sutartinės Songs
Sutartinės, the especially ancient form of, often sacred, Lithuanian music, is enjoying a renaissance, mostly in Lithuania’s cities. Since UNESCO recognized these unique dissonant sounds originating from Lithuania’s Aukštaitija ‘Uplands’ ethnographic region as part of our Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010, in-depth studies have flourished. This book presents the latest analogies discovered in distant examples of the genesis and ethnogenesis of foreign folk music examples, not only in neighboring lands but as far away as the Ainu subculture of Japan. It presents the latest findings and analyses of the hymns once said to be conveyed by laumės, mythical beings later demoted to witches during this music’s demise. This study supplements perceptions from Lithuanian and foreign ethno-musicologists with data from ethnology, archaeology, linguistics and other sciences and areas of scholarship, and thereby encourages even more studies in this field.
Communication in the 2020s
This book provides an inside look at the discipline of Communication. In this collection of chapters, top scholars from a wide range of subfields discuss how they have experienced and how they study the crucial issues of our time.

The chapters in this book provide snapshots of many of these issues as seen through the eyes of specialists in the major subfields of Communication, including interpersonal, organi...
