Tian Tao Yoga
Tian Tao Yoga is a powerful technique of regeneration and self-healing that was practiced secretly in China's monasteries until the Cultural Revolution. One of the special features of this gentle yet powerful method is that it is easy to learn and does not require any special athleticism or agility. This makes it possible for older people or those with limited mobility to practice the exercises. Body, mind and soul are effectively revitalized and aligned on a deep inner level.In this book, Julia Kant provides insight into the practice, philosophy and history of these once closely guarded techniques. She reports on her own path to Tian Tao as well as on the amazing experiences of many practitioners. The basic level exercises, presented with numerous illustrations, can already show profound effects if practiced regularly. The book also contains an exercise guide with valuable tips and explanations based on experience from many years of teaching and hundreds of seminars. It can serve as a useful companion.
Current Concepts in the Management of Lymphoma and Leukemia
This volume summarizes the Proceedings of the fourth biennial Cancer Teaching Symposium held on March 7 and 8, 1970, at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.

Julia
Een krachtige, feministische hervertelling van 1984 van George Orwell Het is 1984. Julia Worthing is een monteur die werkt op het ministerie van Waarheid in Londen, de belangrijkste stad van Oceanië. Daar heerst de Partij en hun leider Grote Broer. Julia overtreedt veelvuldigde regels, maar werkt ook samen met het regime wanneer dat haar goed uitkomt. Iedereen mag haar graag. Ze is lid van het Antiseks Jeugdverbond (hoewel ze in het geheim seksueel actief is) en weet hoe ze moet overleven in een wereld van constante surveillance. Sterker nog, ze is gemáákt om te overleven. Maar dan raakt ze geïntrigeerd door een collega, Winston Smith. In een opwelling overhandigt ze hem een briefje en vanaf dat moment is ze de grip op haar omgeving voorgoed verloren. Julia gaat verder dan het beroemde verhaal over Winston Smith, en laat zien hoe het voor vrouwen is om te overleven in de wereld van Grote Broer. Het is een provocerende, levendige en uiterst spannende roman, die 1984 vanuit een nieuw perspectief laat lezen.
Experience and Infinite Task
This book examines the philosophical thought of the young Walter Benjamin and its development in his later work. Starting from his critique of the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and Hermann Cohen, the author traces the relationships among Benjamin’s theories — developed in tandem with his friend Gershom Scholem — of knowledge, language, ethics, politics, the philosophy of history and aesthetics, all linked to the Judaic theme of messianism and language as a realm of redemption. She delineates a horizon in which the concept of experience as structure, philosophical system and “infinite task” (On the Program of the Coming Philosophy, 1917/18) evolves into a concept of the origin as monad (The Origin of German Tragic Drama, 1925), merging finally into the historical concept as monad and dialectical image (On the Concept of History, 1940). Tagliacozzo asserts that the concept of experience as structure and symbolic system, derived from his critical interpretation of Kant and Neo-Kantianism, develops into a conception of thought founded on a theological language of revelation.
Understanding Hegel's Mature Critique of Kant
Hegel's critique of Kant was a turning point in the history of philosophy: for the first time, the concrete, situated, and in certain senses "naturalistic" style pioneered by Hegel confronted the thin, universalistic, and argumentatively purified style of philosophy that had found its most rigorous expression in Kant. The controversy has hardly died away: it virtually haunts contemporary philosophy from epistemology to ethical theory. Yet if this book is right, the full import of Hegel's critique of Kant has not been understood. Working from Hegel's mature texts (after 1807) and reading them in light of an overall interpretation of Hegel's project as a linguistic, "definitional" system, the book offers major reinterpretations of Hegel's views: The Kantian thing-in-itself is not denied but relocated as a temporal aspect of our experience. Hegel's linguistic idealism is understood in terms of his realistic view of sensation. Instead of claiming that Kant's categorical imperative is too empty to provide concrete moral guidance, Hegel praises its emptiness as the foundation for a diverse society.
Reason and Conversion in Kierkegaard and the German Idealists
In his late work Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason, Immanuel Kant struggles to answer a straightforward, yet surprisingly difficult, question: how is radical conversion—a complete reorientation of a person’s most deeply held values—possible? In this book, Ryan S. Kemp and Christopher Iacovetti examine how this question gets taken up by Kant’s philosophical heirs: Schelling, Fichte, Hegel and Kierkegaard. More than simply developing a novel account of each thinker’s position, Kemp and Iacovetti trace how each philosopher formulates his theory in response to tensions in preceding views, culminating in Kierkegaard’s claim that radical conversion lies outside a person’s control. Kemp and Iacovetti close by examining some of the moral-psychological implications of Kierkegaard’s account, particularly the question of how someone might responsibly relate to values that have, by their own admission, been acquired in contingent and accidental fashion.
Kant: A Very Short Introduction
Kant is arguably the most influential modern philosopher, but also one of the most difficult. Roger Scruton tackles his exceptionally complex subject with a strong hand, exploring the background to Kant's work and showing why the Critique of Pure Reason has proved so enduring. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Moral Reason
Develops and defends a version of a desire-based, internalist account of what normative reasons are, and counters it with an internalist defense of universal moral reason built on Kant's formula of humanity.
