The Question of Evil in Ancient Egypt
The book examines relevant sources from the Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts (c. 24th century B.C.E.) to the Graeco-Roman Period inscriptions (2nd century C.E.) in order to understand the way the ancient Egyptians tackled the question of the origin of evil in the world. It also investigates whether the world was perfect or imperfect since its beginning. Scholars addressing these questions are generally of two categories: those advocating the pre-existent character of evil and asserting therefore that the world was not perfect since its creation; and those who plead for the contingent nature of evil and thus imply that the world was created perfect at the beginning but was marred afterwards by various protagonists other than the creator. --Book Jacket.

Illuminating Osiris
Illuminating Osiris comprises twenty-seven articles by students, friends, and colleagues in honor of Mark Smith, Professor of Egyptology at the University of Oxford. Smith is especially renowned as a Demoticist and specialist in ancient Egyptian religion. His numerous Demotic text editions and translations of Egyptian funerary and religious compositions have been enormously influential in the field. The contributions in Illuminating Osiris naturally reflect Smith's particular interests in the religion and literature of Graeco-Roman period Egypt, dealing with cult, rituals, astronomy, and divination, among other subjects. The book includes many editions or reeditions of texts written in Demotic, Hieratic, and Ptolemaic Hieroglyphs. It is profusely illustrated and supplied with detailed indices.
L'Afrique appartiendra-t-elle aux Africains en 2063 ?
L''Union Africaine nous invite toutes et tous à contribuer à l'implémentation de son Agenda 2063 " Afrique que Nous Voulons . Mais la stratégie adoptée par les différents gouvernements africains, leur indicible crédulité devant les promesses de "soutien" et la fausse "expertise" de l'Europe, de l'Asie , de l'Amérique et de leurs Organisations dites " Internationales ou Mondiales" sans oublier la cécité coupable avec laquelle les responsables politiques offrent les richesses du sol et du sous-sol africain, e.a. le bois, le cacao, le café, le coltan, le pétrole, l'or, le gaz et les terres agricoles aux puissances étrangères, poussent le Prof. Dr. Kabongo Malu à se demander et ...

Cet hommage est intégré et à intégrer dans une série d'autres hommages, qui sont aussi des contributions au Projet du Dictionnaire ci-Kam et ci-Bantu ou Ancien Égyptien et ci-Cyaka du Centre C.A. Diop d'Egyptologie de l'Institut Africain d'Etudes Prospectives (NADEP). Ce Centre Panafricain de Recherche Scientifique, créé par l'Ordonnance Présidentielle N° 89-287 du 9 novembre 1989 de Mobutu Sese Seko, a su, malgré les difficultés matérielles et administratives, aller au-delà des intuitions de l'gyptologue Jean-François Champollion (1790-1832) et de l'Égyptologie d'Eropa, voire de la Science de Ci-Eropa, pour poser les bases d'une Nouvelle Science et d'une Nouvelle Intelligence de l'Afrique en général et de BuKam, alias Égypte Pharaonique en particulier. Par cet exemple très vivant des noms KASALU JIBIKILA, l'auteur permet à chacun et à chacune d'entrevoir et de palper l'Importance Scientifique et Historico-Stratégique de La Langue Cyaka ou Cyena-Ntu.

Probable, Possible, Plausible
Probable, Possible, Plausible: Explanatory Guide to Monsters and Myth By: Scott Strozier Every story, no matter the subject matter, has a segment of inspirational truth…Unbelievability of a story comes with its intended purpose: The more the story is meant to entertain, the more prone it is to exaggeration and becoming unrealistic.” The Grim Reaper, Medusa, Sasquatch, and chimera all have a foundation built on facts, not fiction. Yet some would readily dismiss the stories of these creatures as the ramblings of our primitive ancestors. Is the unwillingness to see any truth in these tales a sign of a modern superiority complex? Join author Scott Strozier as he delves into the most iconic monsters of pop culture today: dissecting the myths, peeling back the exaggerations, and exposing the shocking truths.
FILOSOFÍA DE LO REALE
El libro trata del problema de los presupuestos teóricos en el estudio de lo real, el cual es confundido por la tradición occidental con la cosa, el ser, el ente o la substancia, base de la construcción de todo discurso ontológico, sea relativo o absoluto, poco importa. Los presupuestos son la base empírica de una cultura ya que contienen la estructura lingüístico-semántica (lingüístico-estructural y semántico-filosófica) en la investigación e interpretación semiótica de lo real. La tesis de que los «enunciados de observación» serían la base empírica de la ciencia, y que «la totalidad» de los enunciados de observación sería la «totalidad de la ciencia», está llena de presupuestos gratuitos. Esta tesis se basa en un holismo semántico que intenta concebir lo real únicamente en un supuesto naturalismo que parte de la conexión de nuestros estímulos sensoriales (los datos de los sentidos) con nuestras teorías. Lo que se olvida es que la denominada «ciencia», no lo explica todo. La ciencia, o mejor, la investigación científica es una empresa compleja e inacabada.
