The Reparable and the Irreparable
What do repair and reparation tell us about human beings? They speak to our (natural) vulnerability, our (moral) fallibility, and our (social) incompleteness, but also about the many capabilities we draw upon to mitigate these shortcomings. It is from the heart of human finitude that repair and reparation draw meaning.
Spiritual Information
Spiritual Information is a collection of one hundred essays that explore a portion of the vast interdisciplinary approaches to the study of science and religion. Individually and together, the essays show how the study of ourselves, our planet, and the universe helps us understand our place as spiritual beings within God’s universe. The book is a tribute to Sir John Templeton and his pioneering commitment toward new research that results in “one hundredfold more spiritual information than humankind has ever possessed before.” It begins with essays that reflect on Sir John’s principal domains of interest and expertise: free-enterprise based finance and accelerating spiritual progress....
The Emergence of Complexity in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology
In this volume, some of the world's leading scientists discuss the role of complexity across all the scientific disciplines. Opinions differ: for some, complexity holds the key to a deeper and fuller understanding of the world; to others, it is merely a modern version of the philsophers' stone.
Smart Grids and Buildings for Energy and Societal Transition
This book presents interdisciplinary approaches to help buildings, electrical energy networks and their users contribute to the energy and societal transition. Smart Grids and Buildings for Energy and Societal Transition examines the technologies, uses and imaginaries involved in implementing smart buildings and smart grids. Production and consumption forecasts, modeling of stakeholder involvement and self-consumption within a renewable energy community exploiting blockchain technology are examples developed with a view to fostering the emergence of smart grids. The potential of smart buildings, taking into account user comfort while increasing energy efficiency, is identified. Full-scale demonstrators are used to test the proposed solutions, and to ensure that users take full advantage of the potential for electrical flexibility.
Developing the Horizons of the Mind
Developing the Horizons of the Mind is the first book on Relational and Contextual Reasoning (RCR), a new theory of the human mind which powerfully addresses key areas of human conflict such as the ideological conflict between nations, the conflict in close relationships and the conflict between science and religion. K. Helmut Reich provides a clear and accessible introduction to the new RCR way of thinking that encourages people to adopt an inclusive rather than an oppositional approach to conflict and problem-solving.

Le Doigt Sur La Lumière
Lhomme qui nie lexistence dun Dieu-Crateur de toutes choses ne risque-t-il pas de se prendre pour Dieu ? Les crits sur lathisme sont lgion, font recette aujourdhui ! Question : comment reconnatre le bon grain de livraie ? Lintrt de ce Contre-chant lathisme de Richard Dawkins rside dabord dans sa conception, son approche, son style; il se trouve ensuite tre rvlateur et savamment clairant. Son auteur, Gilles Charles Vuille, na pas cherch, comme Richard Dawkins, transmettre sa pense personnelle, mais tout son contraire : on ressent, en effet, cette proccupation distiller, au fil des pages, des paroles fortes manant dune multitude dhommes et de femmes notoires, ayant fait lexprience de lAmour de Dieu. Cette recherche minutieuse, travers les millnaires, amne progressivement vider de sa substance les thses sur lathisme. Voil une lecture qui pourrait bien nous mener la Lumire ! Luc Claessens
Handbook of the Anthropocene
This Handbook is a collection of contributions of more than 300 researchers who have worked to grasp the Anthropocene, this new geological epoch characterised by a modification of the conditions of habitability of the Earth for all living things, in its biogeophysical and socio-political reality. These researchers also sought to define a historical and prospective anthropology that integrates social, economic, cultural and political issues as well as, of course, environmental ones. What are the anthropological changes needed to ensure that our human adventure will be able to continue in the Anthropocene? And what are the educational and political issues involved? Anthropocene is fast becomin...
Is Science Compatible with Free Will?
Anyone who claims the right ‘to choose how to live their life’ excludes any purely deterministic description of their brain in terms of genes, chemicals or environmental influences. For example, when an author of a text expresses his thoughts, he assumes that, in typing the text, he governs the firing of the neurons in his brain and the movement of his fingers through the exercise of his own free will: what he writes is not completely pre-determined at the beginning of the universe. Yet in the field of neuroscience today, determinism dominates. There is a conflict between the daily life conviction that a human being has free will, and deterministic neuroscience. When faced with this conf...
