Overview: Tackles a philosophical problem which (apart from a few instances in the history of philosophy) has not been dealt with before.Examines and dismisses several claims that have been made to solve the prThe relation between body and mind has presented philosophy with its perennial problem. It exercised the minds of Plato and Aristotle and it was implicit in the thought, if not always present to the minds, of the Presocratics. In modern philosophy it became explicit in Descartes’s Meditations and remained central to the deliberations of every subsequent philosopher of any significance fr

Overview: Hope has been called the "life blood of the soul", an indispensable condition for human existence. Yet evidence in this book suggests that hope is neither a necessary nor a universal part of life. Rather, hope is constituted in accordance with cultural norms, and hence it may vary fundamentally from one society to another. In the first of four studies, Averill, Catlin, and Chon delineate four classes of rules that help constitute hope in Western societies. A second study examines the similarities and differences between hope and other, more prototypic emotions, such as anger and love

Overview: The molecular characterization of RNA and its interactions with proteins is an important and exciting area of current research. Organisms utilize a variety of RNA–protein interactions to regulate the expression of their genes. This is particularly true for eukaryotes, since newly synthesized messenger RNA must be extensively modified and transported to the cytoplasm before it can be used for protein synthesis. The realization that posttranscriptional processes are critical components of gene regulation has sparked an explosion of interest in both stable ribonucleoprotein (RNP) comple

Overview: This book considers Emerson and Nietzsche primarily as post-theological religious thinkers and treats their understanding of the nature of religion and language. It argues that their critique of Christianity and rejection of transcendence which allowed them to recover the divine within the individual is informed by their emphasis on the humanity of Jesus. The idea of Jesus as man is also the key to their interpretation of language. The Word inscribed in the world becomes the condition for the possibility of meaning.978-0-230-37530-7Series ISSN 2946-8744 Series E-ISSN 2946-8752
