A spellbinding adventure and a captivating tale of first love. Alex and Jenny are sixteen. He lives in Milan; she, in Melbourne. For the past four years, they have glimpsed each other at random moments, while they are both unconscious — a telepathic communication that occurs without warning. During one of these episodes, they manage to arrange a meeting. But on the day, though they are standing in the same place at the same time, each of them cannot see the other. This leads them to a startling discovery: they live in different dimensions. In Jenny’s world, Alex is someone else. And in Alex’s world, Jenny died at the age of six. As they try to find each other, the Multiverse threatens to implode and disappear, but Jenny and Alex must meet — the future of the Earth depends on it.
This edited collection analyses the unique characteristics of urban gardens, worker-owned coops, ecological communities, occupied factories and other social movements to demonstrate what we can learn from them in order to rethink our economies and societies.
This is the first monograph on the work of Joseph Roth (1894-1939) to be published in English by a British-based academic, and should prove useful both to those with a specialized interest in Roth, whose novels and journalism continue to gain admirers around the world, and to those interested more broadly in an extraordinarily rich period in twentieth century European culture. It serves both as an introduction to the early part of a body of work whose variety and volume were for many years overshadowed by the reputation of the historical novel Radetzkymarsch (1932), and as a re-assessment of Roth's writing, both of fiction and of journalism, within the modern tradition. A perceived fragmentation of social, political, cultural and other traditions was a particular concern for Roth, as for many contemporaries, and the thematic chapters present a detailed contextual survey of Roth's intense and often ambivalent engagement with aspects of modern life, including travel, gender, technology, the city, and cinema. Besides assessing the continuities and discontinuities in Roth's attitudes, these chapters examine how his responses to the contemporary world impact upon both the form and content of his writing. The author argues that Roth's writing of the 1920s should be considered modernist not just in its often prescient sensitivity to cultural and political developments, but in its employment of a formal aesthetics and narrative self-consciousness which eventually made possible the illusory wholeness of the later fiction.
This companion demonstrates how art, craft, and visual culture education activate social imagination and action that is equity- and justice-driven. Specifically, this book provides arts-engaged, intersectional understandings of decolonization in the contemporary art world that cross disciplinary lines. Visual and traditional essays in this book combine current scholarship with pragmatic strategies and insights grounded in the reality of socio-cultural, political, and economic communities across the globe. Across three sections (creative shorts, enacted encounters, and ruminative research), a diverse group of authors address themes of histories, space and land, mind and body, and the digital realm. Chapters highlight and illustrate how artists, educators, and researchers grapple with decolonial methods, theories, and strategies—in research, artmaking, and pedagogical practice. Each chapter includes discursive questions and resources for further engagement with the topics at hand. The book is targeted towards scholars and practitioners of art education, studio art, and art history, K-12 art teachers, as well as artist educators and teaching artists in museums and communities.
The purpose of this handbook is to open the doors to the development and knowledge of the extrasensory faculties, giving each of you the keys to access intuitive, psychic and telepathic abilities in full autonomy, because you are all sensitive and endowed with these qualities, which are often attributed only to particular and fortunate groups of people. Rather, you are not yet aware of it and you have forgotten how to bring to your consciousness these precious powers, with which your ancestors lived in a completely spontaneous way. These activities are commonly referred to as "extra", in fact they are very normal quality of mind that everyone can access, without exception. It is only a matter of refining the subtle senses more so that we can take what exists beyond the boundaries of matter, beyond time and space. You will succeed through the many practical exercises focused on reading the Aura and The Subtle Bodies, the analysis of individual colours, telepathy, Second Sight in all its applications, bilocation, psychometry of objects and the places, simple and effective exercises that you can do alone or in the company of friends with your own passion for the extrasensitive world. Not only that, but the development of psychic faculties will not remain an end in itself, because when you begin to transcend the limits of space and time, you will realize that you can tangibly take the greatest quality that most belongs to you rightfully: freedom. In fact, you will learn to take over your life, to act in the real world, because you will become aware of what is beyond the normal perception of the senses, realizing that the world as it appears is just a wishful thinking. You will come into contact with other dimensions, less concrete certainly, but no less real. You will walk in a new perception of reality, step by step, in which everything will seem to indicate that in life nothing will be as it seems or as it appears. You will regain your truest powers, because you will be more and more aware of your multidimensional Being. It will be your internal feelings that will play a decisive role in all these new experiences. It will be necessary to know how to listen to them, letting them flow freely, without judgment, to perceive their language, which can be composed of symbols, images, sounds, smells, which you will sense at another level, because the senses that will be used will be the subtle ones, not physical ones, to lead you to see, hear, smell, touch and taste all that does not appear in the sensitive world, but in the ultrasensitive one. I could have written this book in many ways, but I looked for the easiest and most direct way, so that it would reach everyone. For this reason, I tried not to enter into considerations of an overly philosophical or spiritual character, which would have been my most natural way of expression, because I would have risked, perhaps, not to embrace even that part of readers anyway interested in learning to "sense the unseen." I am sure that all of you will be able to read and understand the messages between the lines of this book, to bring them on all levels and plans of existence, physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual, so that you can achieve with lightness and extreme ease the life that you really want to live, without struggle and without effort, because you will have finally learned to enter the flow and let go of everything that weighs down and nullifies your life. Learning extrasensory faculties leads to surprising benefits as a natural consequence. First of all, a greater awareness of who you are and what you want to achieve, because by opening your mind and your heart to listening to what you perceive beyond the normal use of the senses, it will give you such clarity as to make you the true creators of your reality . You will be able to receive the answers you have wanted to receive for so long and too long. These are answers that will take you far along the path of your earthly life. You will soon realize that you are finally free of old mental habits, creating new and more productive habits, awakening from that long sleep to bring you to new levels of understanding and personal growth. You will notice how your creativity and imagination will increase, because extrasensory experiences go to stimulate areas of the brain that are not normally solicited and exploited in the course of daily life. One recommendation: do not be tempted by skipping some chapters of the book to directly access the exercises, however very practical, detailed and attractive, because you would miss those basic and useful parts for the best success exercises themselves, which were presented not in random form, but in a very precise order. This journey from matter to the unseen will lead you into your deepest potentials, which wait for nothing more to be rediscovered and awakened, so that you can first-hand access the exploration of your true being, with full confidence in your unlimited potential. Then everything will be possible: to transcend time and space, to overcome the limits of matter, exploring firsthand faculties that you did not even think you had, beyond all expectations, making you finally aware that what lives beyond matter, a world of invisible energies, it had always been waiting for you.

Professor Heinz Kimmerle encountered African philosophy at a time when his specialisation in the philosophy of Hegel had attained world recognition. For Hegel, African philosophy did not exist in Sub-Saharan Africa, exactly the area in which Kimmerle made his first contact with African philosophy. Hegel’s philosophy was not a stranger to Sub-Saharan Africa. This was because the Western educational paradigm was imposed upon the conquered, colonized peoples during the period of colonisation. Unlike Hegel, Kimmerle took African philosophy seriously and engaged, initially, in dialogues with African philosophy. Out of the unfolding dialogues grew intercultural philosophy spearheaded by Kimmerle’s penetrating, insightful and incisive critique of some of the fundamental presuppositions of Hegel’s philosophy. The essays contained in this book focus on the evolution of Kimmerle’s conception and meaning of intercultural philosophy. Underlying this are recognition and respect for other modes of doing philosophy as manifestations of intercultural philosophy. To deny dialogues, if you prefer, polylogue among world philosophies, is to reject the very basis of philosophy. Thus a crucial dimension of philosophy would be precluded, which can be found in this book, namely, the critical evaluation of Kimmerle’s conception and meaning of intercultural philosophy.
The Proceedings present the contributions to the 13th International Kant Congress which was held at the University of Oslo, August 6-9, 2019. The congress, which hosted speakers from more than thirty countries and five continents, was dedicated to the topic of the court of reason. The idea that reason stands before itself as a tribunal characterizes the whole of Kant's critical project. Without such a court, reason falls into conflict with itself. With such a court in place, however, it may succeed in establishing the possibility and limits of metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, law and science. The idea of reason being its own judge is not only pivotal to a proper understanding of Kant's philosophy, but can also shed light on the burgeoning fields of meta-philosophy and philosophical methodology. The 2019 Kant Congress put special emphasis on Kant's methodology, his account of conceptual critique, and the relevance of his ideas to current issues in especially political philosophy and the philosophy of law. Additional sections discussed a wide range of topics in Kant's philosophy. The Proceedings will provide anyone who is interested in exploring the variety of present-day work on Kant and Kantian themes with a wealth of fruitful inspiration.
The long tradition of Kierkegaard studies has made it impossible for individual scholars to have a complete overview of the vast field of Kierkegaard research. The large and ever increasing number of publications on Kierkegaard in the languages of the world can be simply bewildering even for experienced scholars. The present work constitutes a systematic bibliography which aims to help students and researchers navigate the seemingly endless mass of publications. The volume is divided into two large sections. Part I, which covers Tomes I-V, is dedicated to individual bibliographies organized according to specific language. This includes extensive bibliographies of works on Kierkegaard in some 41 different languages. Part II, which covers Tomes VI-VII, is dedicated to shorter, individual bibliographies organized according to specific figures who are in some way relevant for Kierkegaard. The goal has been to create the most exhaustive bibliography of Kierkegaard literature possible, and thus the bibliography is not limited to any specific time period but instead spans the entire history of Kierkegaard studies.
