Varieties of Presence
by Alva NoeThe world shows up for us-it is present in our thought and perception. But, as Alva NoË contends in his latest exploration of the problem of consciousness, it doesn’t show up for free. The world is not simply availab≤ it is achieved rather than given. As with a painting in a gallery, the world has no meaning-no presence to be experienced-apart from our able engagement with it. We must show up, too, and bring along what knowledge and skills we’ve cultivated. This means that education, skills acquisition, and technology can expand the world’s availability to us and transform our consciousness. Although deeply philosophical, Varieties of Presence is nurtured by collaboration with scientists and artists. Cognitive science, dance, and performance art as well as Kant and Wittgenstein inform this literary and personal work of scholarship intended no less for artists and art theorists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and anthropologists than for philosophers. NoË rejects the traditional representational theory of mind and its companion internalism, dismissing outright the notion that conceptual knowledge is radically distinct from other forms of practical ability or know-how. For him, perceptual presence and thought presence are species of the same genus. Both are varieties of exploration through which we achieve contact with the world. Forceful reflections on the nature of understanding, as well as substantial examination of the perceptual experience of pictures and what they depict or model are included in this far-ranging discussion.

The Varieties of Religious Experience
by William JamesHarvard philosopher William James's compiled lectures on religion, considered to be among the most brilliant studies of mankind's relation to the divine <P><P> William James's Varieties of Religious Experience brings together twenty lectures on the nature of religion, delivered at the University of Edinburgh between 1901 and 1902. Renowned at the time for their practical and even-handed approach to the human experience of religion, the lectures form a sympathetic and analytical portrait not of the church, but of the personalized experiences of religious life. James examines the words of writers and philosophers from Immanuel Kant to Plato to Ralph Waldo Emerson to Marcus Aurelius in his investigations of faith, the soul, and systems of belief. Praised by philosopher Charles Pierce for its "penetration into the hearts of people" and by the New York Times for its ability to stir the sympathies of readers, The Varieties of Religious Experience is a lucid and thought-provoking examination of man's encounters with God.<P> Chosen for Mark Zuckerberg's "A Year of Books"
The Varieties of Self-Knowledge
by Annalisa ColivaThis book explores the idea that self-knowledgecomes in many varieties. We "know ourselves" through many different methods,depending on whether we attend to our propositional attitudes, our perceptions,sensations or emotions. Furthermore, sometimes what we call "self-knowledge" isnot the result of any substantial cognitive achievement and the characteristicauthority we grant to our psychological self-ascription is a conceptualnecessity, redeemed by unravelling the structure of several interlocking concepts. This book critically assesses the main contemporary positions held on theepistemology of self-knowledge. These include robust epistemic accounts such asinner sense views and theory-theories; weak epistemic accounts such astransparency theories and rational internalism and externalism; as well asexpressivist and constitutivist approaches. The author offers an innovative"pluralist" position on self-knowledge, emphasizing the complexity of thephenomenon and its resistance to any "monistic" treatment, to pose new andintriguing philosophical challenges.
The Varieties of Suicidal Experience: A New Theory of Suicidal Violence (Psychology and Crime)
by Thomas JoinerPROSE Award Finalist for Psychology and Applied Social WorkArgues that a range of behaviors such as murder-suicide, terrorism, and mass shootings are better understood as motivated by suicidal impulses than by homicidal onesMass shooters often display behaviors that strongly mirror the warning signs for suicide: lives led in isolation, intense personal suffering, disaffection, and struggle. Letters detailing why they did what they did paint pictures of intense misery and loneliness. As this book makes clear, private despair sometimes leads to social violence.In this groundbreaking work, Thomas Joiner offers a unified theory of suicide, making the case that many acts that appear homicidal are best understood primarily as suicidal. We must recognize that there are several forms of suicidal violence, some of which masquerade as other types of acts, including terrorism and murder. These include suicide-by-cop, suicide terrorism, murder-suicide, and running amok. Though there are obvious differences among these acts, Joiner argues that framing them as stemming from a common ideology of suicide is a crucial step in preventing these atrocities.By recognizing the desire to die—not to kill—as being at the heart of many of the acts of those who choose to kill their partner, shoot up their school, or terrorize their community, we can offer more effective measures of intervention. At a time when our nation is scrambling for solutions in the fight to end gun violence, this book presents a crucial component in the detection and treatment of unwell individuals.
Vartaman Tirthankar Shree Simandhar Swami: वर्तमान तीर्थकर श्री सीमंधर स्वामी
by Dada Bhagwanइस काल में इस क्षेत्र से सीधे मोक्ष पाना संभव नहीं है, ऐसा शास्त्रों में कहा गया हैं। लेकिन लंबे अरसे से, महाविदेह क्षेत्र में श्री सीमंधर स्वामी के दर्शन से मोक्ष प्राप्ति का मार्ग खुला ही हैं। लेकिन परम पूज्य दादाश्री उसी मार्ग से मुमुक्षुओं को मोक्ष पहुँचानें में निमित्त हैं और इसकी प्राप्ति का विश्वास, मुमुक्षुओं को निश्चय से होता ही है। इस काल में, इस क्षेत्र में वर्तमान तीर्थंकर नहीं हैं। लेकिन महाविदेह क्षेत्र में वर्तमान तीर्थंकर श्री सीमंधर स्वामी विराजमान हैं। वे भरत क्षेत्र के मोक्षार्थी जीवों के लिए मोक्ष के परम निमित्त हैं। ज्ञानीपुरुष ने खुद उस मार्ग से प्राप्ति की और औरों को वह मार्ग दिखाया है। प्रत्यक्ष प्रकट तीर्थंकर की पहचान होना, उनके प्रति भक्ति जगाना और दिन-रात उनका अनुसंधान करके, अंत में, उनके प्रत्यक्ष दर्शन पाकर, केवलज्ञान को प्राप्त करना, यही मोक्ष की प्रथम और अंतिम पगडंडी है। ऐसा ज्ञानियों ने कहा हैं। श्री सीमंधर स्वामी की आराधना, जितनी ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा होगी, उतना उनके साथ अनुसंधान विशेष रहेगा। इससे उनके प्रति ऋणानुबंध प्रगाढ़ होगा। अंत में परम अवगाढ़ दशा तक पहुँचकर उनके चरणकमलों में ही स्थान प्राप्ति की मोहर लगती है।

Veganism and Eating Disorder Recovery
by Jenn FriedmanThis book addresses the eating disorder field’s misconceptions about veganism with the goal of realigning the discourse about veganism and non-veganism in eating disorder recovery. Veganism and eating disorders are often associated with one another in the eating disorder field, leading to the widely adopted belief that following the dietary component of veganism may inhibit recovery from an eating disorder. Friedman posits that this belief is founded on an oversimplified view and counters it by exploring the ethical dimensions of veganism. In this book, Friedman looks at ideas perpetuated around veganism and recovery, including the potential harm to vegans prohibited from following veganism in treatment centers. Veganism and Eating Disorder Recovery culminates in a prospective proposal for a "vegan-informed" eating disorder recovery model, which may be adapted for clients’ individual needs. Friedman lays a foundation for an improved discourse on veganism and eating disorders by drawing from a wide range of resources, including academic research, blog posts, eating disorder literature, and anecdotes. This accessible text will appeal to professionals and eating disorder clients alike, enabling them to collaborate under optimal conditions.

Venedig ist überall: Vom Übertourismus zum Neuen Original
by Bruno S. FreyKultureller Übertourismus ist das neue Schlagwort für von Touristen extrem stark frequentierte und damit überfüllte historische Sehenswürdigkeiten, Museen und Städte. Ein Kulturtourismus also, der negative Auswirkungen sowohl für die kulturellen Orte als auch für die dort lebenden Menschen zeitigt. In Reaktion darauf wird vermehrt protestiert und Kulturträger und Bürgermeister ergreifen zunehmend Maßnahmen, um den Touristenstrom zu begrenzen. Ist dies das Ende einer „Kultur für alle“?In diesem Buch schlägt Bruno S. Frey - renommierter und vielzitierter Kulturökonom - im Gegenteil eine Erweiterung des Angebotes als „Neue Originale“ vor: Die wichtigsten Monumente werden an einem geografisch geeigneten Ort identisch kopiert. Ergänzend werden den Besuchern mithilfe digitaler Informationstechnologien (Augmented und Virtual Reality inklusive Hologramme) Geschichte und Kultur der Orte nahe gebracht. Angrenzende Hotels, Restaurants und Läden bieten die notwendige begleitende Infrastruktur. Auf diese Weise kann der Touristenstrom zwischen den ursprünglichen und den „Neuen Originalen“ verteilt werden. Diese Idee wird mit seinen organisatorischen und ökonomischen Herausforderungen skizziert und von bestehenden Disneyland-Konzepten abgegrenzt. Gerade für Familien mit Kindern und allgemein kulturell interessierte Personen – also für die größte Zahl der Besucher – können diese „Neuen Originale“ sehr attraktiv sein.

Verantwortung wahrnehmen als Verantwortung aus Leidenschaft (essentials)
by Philipp StoellgerIst Verantwortung als Pflicht zu verstehen – oder auch als Leidenschaft, als Passion für den Nächsten? Der hier gewagte Versuch plädiert für solch ein leidenschaftliches Verständnis von Verantwortung. Denn der Ruf nach Verantwortung kommt immer schon zu spät: wenn sie nicht wahrgenommen wurde. Wo aber entsteht sie und warum sollte man Verantwortung übernehmen? Aus zwingenden Gründen oder traditionellen Verpflichtungen? Will man heute Verantwortung neu wahrnehmen, lohnt sich der Versuch, sie neu zu verstehen: Verantwortung als etwas Fragiles und Vulnerables; als eine unausweichliche und unwillkürliche Antwort auf den Anspruch des Anderen – als eine Leidenschaft für den Nächsten.
Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication in Psychotherapy
by Gill WestlandImplicit communications analyzed alongside verbal communication in therapy. Body language, facial expression, and tone of voice are key components in therapeutic interactions, but for far too long psychotherapists have dismissed them in favor of purely verbal information. In Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication in Psychotherapy, Gill Westland examines the interrelation of the verbal and the non-verbal in the context of clients and therapists working together. The physiology of communication is also discussed: from overwhelming emotions that make it difficult to speak to breath awareness that makes it easier. Therapists will be able to cultivate non-verbal communication through mindfulness practices and "right brain to right brain communication." It is not just the client's actions and emotions that are significant; it is important that therapists relate in a way that makes it clear to their clients that they are receptive and inviting, and Westland expertly depicts the bodily dimensions of this encounter between client and therapist. The book brings together insights from a range of psychotherapeutic traditions, including psychoanalysis, arts psychotherapies, humanistic psychotherapy, and, in particular, body psychotherapy, for clinicians who want to expand their communication abilities. Drawing on 30 years of clinical experience, and providing illustrative clinical vignettes, Westland has written a guide both for those who might not have any experience in the theory of non-verbal communications and for lifelong psychotherapy practitioners. She lays as groundwork recent research into the neurobiology of interaction and the foundations of non-verbal communication in babyhood, continuing throughout from a bodymind perspective that pays due attention to the physicality of the body. Westland urges therapists to learn how to leave their comfort zone and try new ways of helping their clients. Writing in a richly evocative, lucid language, Westland seeks to bring about change in both psychotherapist and client as they navigate both the verbal and non-verbal aspects of embodied relating.
Verbal Behavior: Extended Edition
by B. F. SkinnerVerbal Behavior is a 1957 book by psychologist B. F. Skinner, in which he describes what he calls verbal behavior, or what was traditionally called linguistics. Skinner's work describes the controlling elements of verbal behavior with terminology invented for the analysis—echoics, mands, tacts, autoclitics and others—as well as carefully defined uses of ordinary terms such as audience.
