The Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Laws Another Copernican Revolution

The Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Laws Another Copernican Revolution

First published in 1997 this title is a sequel to Dr Noel Curran's first book The Logical Universe: The Real Universe (published by Ashgate under the Avebury imprint 1994). The philosophy of mathematics in this book is based on ideas of Sir William Rowan Hamilton on the ordinal character of numbers the real numbers the measure numbers scalar numbers and the extension to vectors. The final extension is to Hamilton’s quaternions. This algebra is interpreted as the mathematics of spin. This led to a a new theory of time and space which is Euclidian. The motion of spin is absolute no frame of reference is required. If time is assumed to have a beginning it would be asymmetric with an arrow. This concept is applied to the laws of nature which are symmetrical. This is another Copernican Revolution in three aspects: absolute time is restored time has an arrow - is asymmetric and thirdly the theory is based on the motion of spin which is absolute and more fundamental than the motion of translation. This opens the way to the final unification of physics. | The Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Laws Another Copernican Revolution

Indigenous Rights and Water Resource Management Not Just Another Stakeholder

Indigenous Rights and Water Resource Management Not Just Another Stakeholder

In an era of climate change the need to manage our water resources effectively for future generations has become an increasingly significant challenge. Indigenous management practices have been successfully used to manage inland water systems around the world for thousands of years and Indigenous people have been calling for a greater role in the management of water resources. As First Peoples and as holders of important knowledge of sustainable water management practices they regard themselves as custodians and rights holders deserving of a meaningful role in decision-making. This book argues that a key (albeit not the only) means of ensuring appropriate participation in decision-making about water management is for such participation to be legislatively mandated. To this end the book draws on case studies in Australia and New Zealand in order to elaborate the legislative tools necessary to ensure Indigenous participation consultation and representation in the water management landscape. | Indigenous Rights and Water Resource Management Not Just Another Stakeholder

Sexuality Intimacy Power Classic Edition

Sexuality Intimacy Power Classic Edition

This book offers Dimen’s classic take on psychosexuality drawing on relational theory feminism and postmodernism with a new foreword by Virginia Goldner and Velleda Ceccoli honouring the late Muriel Dimen and introducing a new audience to her profound legacy. For Dimen the shift from dualism to multiplicity that has reshaped a range of disciplines can also be brought to bear on our thinking about sexuality. She urges us to return to the open-mindedness hiding between the lines and buried in the footnotes of Freud’s writings and to replace the determinism into which his thought has hardened with more fluid notions of contingency paradox and thirdness. By unveiling the colloquy among psychoanalysis social theory and feminism Dimen challenges clinicians and academicians alike to rethink ideas about gender eroticism and perversion. She explores among other topics the relations between lust and libido; the limitations of Darwinian thought in theorizing homosexuality; the body as projective test; and the intimate tangle of love and hate between women. Generous clinical examples illustrate the ways in which a radical re-visioning of psychosexuality benefits therapists and patients alike. A brilliant example of contemporary psychoanalytic theory at its destabilizing best Sexuality Intimacy Power covers both clinical insights and theoretical rethinking that is invaluable for psychoanalysts psychotherapists and students of women’s gender and queer studies. | Sexuality Intimacy Power Classic Edition

The Perception of Causality

The Perception of Causality

Originally published in 1963 this is a classic work on the psychology of perception. By means of suitable patterns on a partly concealed rotating disc Michotte was able to give the impression of objects in movement; and where certain conditions of speed position and time-interval were satisfied his subjects received the impression of a causal interaction between two objects – for example the impression that one object has ‘bumped into’ another (the ‘Launching Effect’) or is carrying it along (the ‘Entraining Effect’). In a further group of experiments Michotte studies the conditions in which moving objects look as though they are alive. A large number of experiments are described and on the basis of them Michotte formulates a theory as to the conditions in which causal impressions occur. He also compares his own views on causality with those of Hume Maine de Biran and Piaget. | The Perception of Causality

The Psychology of Space Exploration What Freud Might Have Said

The Psychology of Space Exploration What Freud Might Have Said

This short book grapples with two vast questions: the nature of our minds and our place in the wider universe. It considers how one mutually influences the development of the other. The changes and challenges that will accompany the first humans to leave Earth and travel to another planet or even further will not only impact our technical capabilities but will also represent a watershed moment within our individual and collective human psychology. Many of the problems of resource use environmental degradation and waste or destructive processes are contained in the larger process of exploring another environment and planet. But This book also offers a shift in perspective that allows us to consider humanity from an alternative more holistic perspective reappraising our own minds both individually and within dynamic social processes. The Psychology of Space Exploration considers our place and purpose in the widest possible perspective that of space exploration and the natural universe. It doesn’t seek to answer these questions but provides a perspective to explore even further. | The Psychology of Space Exploration What Freud Might Have Said

Geometrical Justice The Death Penalty in America

Geometrical Justice The Death Penalty in America

Legal decisions continue to mystify: why was this person sentenced to 20 years in prison but that person to just 10 years for the same crime? Why did one person sue for civil damages but another let the matter drop? Legal rules are supposed to answer these questions but their answers are radically incomplete. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a theory that predicted and explained legal decisions? Drawing on Donald Black’s theoretical ideas Geometrical Justice: The Death Penalty in America addresses these issues focusing specifi cally on who is sentenced to death and executed in the United States. The book explains why some murders are more serious than others and how the social characteristics of defendants victims and jurors aff ect case outcomes. Building on the most rigorous data in the field the authors reveal wide discrepancies in capital punishment – why one person lives but another person dies. Geometrical Justice will be of interest to those engaged in criminal justice criminology and socio- legal studies as well as students taking courses on sentencing corrections and capital punishment. | Geometrical Justice The Death Penalty in America
