"We have to keep in mind that physics, however complicated this science might appear, has been developed by human kind, that therein persons and their fascinating fates have been involved, who achieved advances only in scientific data and research reports, but also in the richness of its historical scientific, in photographic plates and in the scientist's biography. This historical documentation is certainly the basis to start form, but thereafter, the physicists will have to continue the job on their own, somehow they must accomplish the discoverer's achievements afresh and they have a duty to impart results ... |

These essays bring together ideas and modes of expression from Vico, Hegel, Cassirer, and James Joyce. This work approaches philosophy as a form of literature and approaches literature as containing insights and images that supply a basis for philosophical thought. Philosophy and literature are both products of the rational imagination. The rational imagination provides a guide to the conception of the good society. By looking back at Plato's Laws, it is possible to conceive society as based on friendship rather than ideology. Considering the interrelationships among philosophy, society, and literature offers a ... |

The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library. I do this not out of disrespect for the tremendous work of contemporary Bulgarian writers and historians, but out of a desire to make an independent assessment of events and to draw my own conclusions about the relationship and sequence of events and their consequences by reading only older authors. I hope the book will find a ... |

One of the crucial questions, which emerges in the process of the EU expansion is "How to avoid the alienation of the values and rights from the vivid culture of the European nations?"

Discussing rights and values in the Enlarging EU, it is usually assumed that the new member states are going to adopt the ... |

A key figure in the international avant-garde, Piet Mondrian (1872 - 1944) was at once an extraordinary painter and leading art theoretician whose influence resonates to this day. Coining the term "Neo-plasticism", he pursued a style of painting composed only of primary colors against a grid of black vertical and horizontal lines and a white base background. Mondrian's vision was that this essential painting would help to achieve a society in which art as such has no place, but rather exists for the total realization of "beauty". With stints in Amsterdam, Paris, London, and New York, Mondrian drew ... |

Разумът търси себе си в драматичната и нелинейна история на човечеството. В началото е логосът, който отрича мита. Във вековете възникват множество форми и перспективи на разума. Той е монологичен или диалогичен. Диалогът е фундаментален онтологичен акт на взаимно признаване между човешките същества. Полярната противоположност на диалогичния разум е радикалната негация и нищожност на Другия, смятан за не-човек и заслужаващ робство или смърт. Убиецът на разума е чудовището. Чудовището е обезобразен човек: няма лице. Неговата душа е непроницаем мрак. Лицето на разумния човек от плът и кръв е прозорец към безкрайността в ... |
