Theoretical Knowledge in the Mohist Canon - Matthias Schemmel - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This open access book presents a new translation, interpretation and analysis of selected passages from the so-called Mohist Canon , a Chinese text from ca. 300 BCE, and discusses the role of the text in the world history of science, arguing that it represents an early emergence of theoretical, systematized knowledge that is independent from parallel developments in ancient Greece. It is aimed at historians of science, of knowledge and of philosophy, and generally at readers interested in these topics from an intercultural perspective and particularly with respect to China.

Robert Burns and the United States of America - Arun Sood - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a critical study of the relationship between Robert Burns and the United States of America, c.1786-1866. Though Burns is commonly referred to as Scotland''s "National Poet", his works were frequently reprinted in New York and Philadelphia; his verse mimicked by an emerging canon of American poets; and his songs appropriated by both abolitionists and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War era. Adopting a transnational, Atlantic Studies perspective that shifts emphasis from Burns as national poet to transnational icon, this book charts the reception, dissemination and cultural memory of Burns and his works in the United States up to 1866.

Philosophy of Race - Naomi Zack - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Philosophy of Race: An Introduction provides plainly written access to a new subfield that has been in the background of philosophy since Plato and Aristotle.

Living Mantra - Mani Rao - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Living Mantra is an anthropology of mantra-experience among Hindu-tantric practitioners. In ancient Indian doctrine and legends, mantras perceived by rishis (seers) invoke deities and have transformative powers. Adopting a methodology that combines scholarship and practice, Mani Rao discovers a continuing tradition of visionaries ( rishis /seers) and revelations in south India''s Andhra-Telangana. Both deeply researched and replete with fascinating narratives, the book reformulates the poetics of mantra-practice as it probes practical questions. Can one know if a vision is real or imagined? Is vision visual? Are deity-visions mediated by culture? If mantras are effective, what is the role of devotion? Are mantras language? Living Mantra interrogates not only theoretical questions, but also those a practitioner would ask: how does one choose a deity, for example, or what might bind one to a guru? Rao breaks fresh ground in redirecting attention to the moments that precede systematization and canon-formation, showing how authoritative sources are formed.

Algorithms with JULIA - Clemens Heitzinger - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides an introduction to modern topics in scientific computing and machine learning, using JULIA to illustrate the efficient implementation of algorithms. In addition to covering fundamental topics, such as optimization and solving systems of equations, it adds to the usual canon of computational science by including more advanced topics of practical importance. In particular, there is a focus on partial differential equations and systems thereof, which form the basis of many engineering applications. Several chapters also include material on machine learning (artificial neural networks and Bayesian estimation). JULIA is a relatively new programming language which has been developed with scientific and technical computing in mind. Its syntax is similar to other languages in this area, but it has been designed to embrace modern programming concepts. It is open source, and it comes with a compiler and an easy-to-use package system. Aimed at students of applied mathematics, computer science, engineering and bioinformatics, the book assumes only a basic knowledge of linear algebra and programming.

Ultralogic as Universal? - Richard Routley - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Ultralogic as Universal? is a seminal text in non-classcial logic. Richard Routley (Sylvan) presents a hugely ambitious program: to use an ''ultramodal'' logic as a universal key, which opens, if rightly operated, all locks. It provides a canon for reasoning in every situation, including illogical, inconsistent and paradoxical ones, realized or not, possible or not. A universal logic, Routley argues, enables us to go where no other logic—especially not classical logic—can. Routley provides an expansive and singular vision of how a universal logic might one day solve major problems in set theory, arithmetic, linguistics, physics, and more. It circulated in typescript in the late 1970s before appearing as the Appendix to Exploring Meinong''s Jungle and Beyond. With engaging, forceful prose, unsparing criticism of entrenched institutions, and many tantalizing proof sketches (is the Axiom of Choice a theorem of naive set theory?), Ultralogic? has had a major influence on the development of paraconsistent and relevant logic. This new edition makes this work available for a modern audience, newly typeset and corrected, along with extensive notes, and new commentary essays.

Ursula K. Le Guin’s "A Wizard of Earthsea" - Timothy S. Miller - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Written not so long after "Tolkien mania" first gripped the United States in the 1960s, Ursula K. Le Guin''s novel A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) has long been recognized as a classic of the fantasy genre, and the series of Earthsea books that followed on it over the next several decades earned its author both considerable sales and critical accolades. This new introduction to the text will closely contextualize the original novel in relation to its heady decade of composition and publication - a momentous time for genre publishing - and also survey the half century and more of scholarship on Earthsea, which has shifted in direction and emphasis many times over the decades, just as surely as Le Guin frequently adjusted her own sails when composing later works set in the fantasy world. Above all, this book positions A Wizard of Earthsea as perhaps an "old text" that nevertheless belongs in a "new canon," a key novel in the author''s career and the genre in which it participates, and one that at once looks back to Tolkien and his own antecedents in masculinist early fantasy; looks forward to Le Guin''s own continuing feminist and progressive education; and anticipates and indeed helped to shape young adult literature in its contemporary form.
