Introduction to Anticipation Studies
This book presents the theory of anticipation, and establishes anticipation of the future as a legitimate topic of research. It examines anticipatory behavior, i.e. a behavior that ‘uses’ the future in its actual decisional process. The book shows that anticipation violates neither the ontological order of time nor causation. It explores the question of how different kinds of systems anticipate, and examines the risks and uses of such anticipatory practices. The book first summarizes the research on anticipation conducted within a range of different disciplines, and describes the connection between the anticipatory point of view and futures studies. Following that, its chapters on Wholes...
Being & Biology
Is consciousness actually the Life Force, the animating principle which underlies and unifies mind, body, and spirit in all living things, and which philosopher Henri Bergson termed the élan vital? This book offers a compendium of empirical evidence and theoretical perspectives from a broad range of scholarly disciplines, which suggest that there is an unbroken, non-local, collective aspect of consciousness that links distant individuals and events—a kind of resonant connectedness that defies separation in space and time.
Filters and Reflections
When confronting the unexplained, it is helpful to consider it from many different points of view. In an essay published in 2004, entitled "Sensors, Filters, and the Source of Reality," Robert Jahn and Brenda Dunne of Princeton University's PEAR laboratory proposed that consciousness constructs its reality by ordering the information it derives from the external world through an array of physiological, psychological, and cultural filters. This thesis has now been considered by nineteen distinguished scholars who here present their commentaries from a broad spectrum of professional and personal perspectives. Drawn from such diverse backgrounds as art, Buddhism, evolutionary biology, fantasy, out-of-body experiences, philosophy, physics, psychology, semiotics, and systems engineering, among others, these contributions offer an assortment of unique and fascinating glimpses of how our experiences and their styles of representation are reflected through these filters of consciousness.

Nature's Hidden Force
A stunning new take on the old science vs. spirituality debate. Land and Jarman begin by demolishing one of the sacred cows of physics: “entropy,” the idea that the universe is irreversibly headed toward a whimpering “heat death.” Using rigorous scientific methods, they show that the universe isn’t falling apart after all – it’s getting better, all the time! They next take on Einstein’s theory of relativity, explaining in simple terms how quantum mechanics describes a universe that isn’t a giant clockwork, but something far more profound – a combination of past cause and “Future Pull.” What does all this science have to do with spirituality? Everything! Land and Jarma...
Unfolding Consciousness
Exploring the Living Universe and Intelligent Powers in Nature and Humans, author Edi Bilimoria heralds the new science of consciousness and offers the readers a roadmap and necessary tools to achieve future growth. Presented in three volumes, plus volume IV contains references, resources & further reading, they reveal the unity of the Eastern and Western branches of our perineal wisdom. Bilimoria shows how science seeks truth using a synthesis of both traditions. Evidence from a wide range of sources— scientific, medical, philosophical, religious, and cultural— is put forward to argue the case that humans are spiritual beings, primarily, and not merely complicated biological machines. B...
Acts chapter 29: Art and Science and Theology in Dialogue
For long time, especially in the West, there is old paradigm that is strong separation between science and theology/religion matters. Especially, such a diverging path started from Galileo persecution, and also other patterns where religious authority seem to hold the last word on scientific issues. Other area of this World, seems to not hold such a diverging path, for instance it can be read in the works of physicist turned to religious philosopher, for instance Pavel Florensky and Nesteruk. That is why we also discuss shortly about those scientists in this book. In the last chapter, we discuss about eureka, an experience which for a long time was attributed to divine spark or “God’s favor to an artist or to a scientist, such luminaries like Newton, Pascal, Leibniz etc.” Nonetheless, new methodology appears to be able to be generated once we accept balanced brain approach, where left brain and right brain hemispheres of humans can work together.
Nessuno muore
Sinossi: Nella pozza insanguinata del Mar Egeo, dove si incontrano le navi achee e Troia va in fiamme, dove i pirati cretesi vanno saccheggiando le coste, uomini e dèi sono morti, tutti morti. C'è un unico sopravvissuto: Ulisse. Ma non si chiama Ulisse; si chiama Nessuno. Ha il cranio rasato, un corpo che trabocca, il volto coperto da una maschera di gesso. Porta gli occhiali da sole, la pistola nella cintura, una triplice cartucciera di traverso su petto e pancia sformata. Assediato da una schiera di fantasmi, temuto e adorato, si agita per le stanze della sua reggia délabrée, nelle valli nude di un'Itaca sottratta alla levigatezza del mito e restituita al pulsare disordinato della vita...
Altri corpi. Visioni e rappresentazioni della (e incursioni sulla) disabilità e diversità
Il volume, che si compone di tre parti – Visioni, Rappresentazioni e Incursioni –, analizza le dinamiche di normalizzazione/assimilazione, così come di esclusione/incorporazione, della disabilità e della diversità, proponendo un percorso che attraversa visioni, rappresentazioni e interpretazioni dei corpi diversi da uno standard definito e riconosciuto come normale. I corpi altri (deformi, disabili, mutanti, devianti, alieni, trasgressivi, cyborg) portano, infatti, su di sé – in alcuni casi inciso nella carne – lo stigma delle interpretazioni e delle rappresentazioni che la disabilità e la diversità hanno subìto, e tuttora subiscono, nelle diverse epoche della storia occidentale. La convinzione che attraversa il volume è che sia lo sguardo di chi osserva i corpi diversi a favorire forme di discriminazione e di esclusione nei confronti delle persone con disabilità o classificate dal sistema sociale come atipiche o non ordinarie.
