Libros de Filosofía del lenguaje. Metalingüística

Esta obra inicia al lector en la problemática de la Filosofía del Lenguaje en los tratamientos básicos que acerca del significado se han propuesto y desarrollado en el siglo xx. Se ofrece una panorámica de los problemas basicos de la disciplina y un recorrido por los autores que mas han influido con sus propuestas en el avance del conocimiento de la forma en que los humanos usamos y entendemos el lenguaje.

Echeverría nos ofrece una nueva interpretación de lo que significa ser humano, no desde los antiguos parámetros que nos han servido de base para observar la vida, sino desde fuera de ellos. Se trata de una propuesta posmoderna y posmetafisica que ha recibido la influencia de autores como Maturana, Flores, Searle, Graves, Austin y Heidegger, y se basa en la tesis de que todo fenomeno social es un fenomeno linguistico.

Noam Chomsky, uno de los pensadores más importantes de nuestro tiempo, reflexiona sobre la historia de la gramática generativa e integra cuestiones filosóficas y conceptuales con investigaciones empíricas. El estilo vivaz y seductor de Chomsky queda potenciado en un interesantisimo debate final con distinguidos profesores universitarios, que abarca la linguistica, la adquisicion del lenguaje, la teoria del lenguaje y la mente.

Este es un libro introductorio sobre filosofía del lenguaje. Se ocupa de algunas cuestiones y ciertos destacados problemas sobre el lenguaje que suscitan reflexión filosófica. Versa sobre el significado, y la capacidad de representar o referirse algo, de expresar y conformar el pensamiento; sobre los distintos modos de decir o las variadas acciones linguisticas que cabe realizar; sobre la comunicacion, sobre lo que se dice o lo que se da a entender; sobre las metaforas, o sobre como funcionan las palabras para los colores, o para hablar sobre entidades de ficcion y lo inexistente; sobre como todo ello depende de intenciones, convenciones, normas sociales o distintos tipos de factores contextuales; sobre como el habla tiene una naturaleza normativa, o sobre como incluye elementos expresivos, y como el propio lenguaje puede ser dañino u opresivo. Y se ocupa tambien de la cuestion fundamental de como es que hay significado, cosas que son capaces de representar otras, y de cual es el lugar del significado en un mundo natural.

La temática y las orientaciones de los estudios que se recogen en este volumen abarcan las coordenadas de la actividad lectora, la implicación interactiva y la regulación metacognitiva del proceso de recepcion, y tambien de la reflexion metaliteraria y de las relaciones hipertextuales a partir de la experiencia lectora y de la activacion de la competencia literaria. Cada estudio se centra en alguna de esas facetas, analizando su proyeccion en el texto o bien su incidencia en la actividad y formacion del lector. Asi se analizan ambitos como la literatura oral, tradicional, el album, o el discurso literario desde perspectivas y claves cognitivas, metacognitivas e hipertextuales, ya sea referidas a las primeras etapas de la formacion del lector, o bien en niveles de educacion secundaria. El conjunto de estos estudios define un eje que conecta el analisis de modalidades literarias actuales, mediante datos empiricos, analiticos y conceptuales sobre la actividad del lector, con orientaciones para la formacion lectoliteraria. Se destaca la novedad e interes de esta obra por centrarse en las perspectivas de analisis critico, intertextual e hipertextual y didactico proyectadas en las nuevas necesidades que plantean las modalidades textuales y las opciones esteticas actuales, en relacion con el desarrollo de un amplio intertexto personal, con el que el lector en formacion alcance su autonomia de comprension, de interpretacion y de integracion en el espacio cultural.

&ldquo,Even if you are already drowned in the cycle of the ocean of repeated births and deaths, when you once find attachment (love) and devotion for Lord Shiva, then you have found that Cintamani jewel.&rdquo, ~Swami Lakshmanjoo&ldquo,The Magical Jewel of Devotion in Kashmir Shaivism - Stava Cintamani&rdquo, ,as revealed by Swami Lakshmanjoo, ,is a sublime and unique hymn addressed to &lsquo,Lord Shiva&rsquo,, whom the author, Bhatta Narayana, clearly holds as the Supreme Reality. Though these hymns are both practical and deeply philosophical, the constant theme that runs like a thread through the one hundred and twenty verses ,is that ,love ,and ,devotion ,towards Lord Shiva is everything.That Bhatta Narayana composed his hymn with the intention of introducing his audience to the richness of the path of non-dual Kashmir Shaivism is clearly visible in his unique interpretation of the ancient and highly revered Gayatri mantra

Fiery World II is the tenth book from the Agni Yoga Series which is composed of fourteen books. In them is found a synthesis of ancient Eastern beliefs and modern Western thought and a bridge between the spiritual and the scientific. Unlike previous yogas, Agni Yoga is a path not of physical disciplines, meditation, or asceticism&mdash,but of practice in daily life. It is the yoga of fiery energy, of consciousness, of responsible, directed thought. It teaches that the evolution of the planetary consciousness is a pressing necessity and that, through individual striving, it is an attainable aspiration for mankind. It affirms the existence of the Hierarchy of Light and the center of the Heart as the link with the Hierarchy and with the far-off worlds. Though not systematized in an ordinary sense, Agni Yoga is a Teaching that helps the discerning student to discover moral and spiritual guide-posts by which to learn to govern his or her life and thus contribute to the Common Good. For this reason Agni Yoga has been called a &ldquo,living ethics.&rdquo,_,

For much of the last half of the twentieth century, W. G. Lambert devoted much of his research energy and effort to the study of Babylonian texts dealing with Mesopotamian ideas regarding creation, including especially Enuma Elish. This volume, which appears almost exactly 2 years after Lambert&rsquo,s death, distills a lifetime of learning by the world&rsquo,s foremost expert on these texts. Lambert provides a full transliteration and translation of the 7 tablets of Enuma Elish, based on the known exemplars, as well as coverage of a number of other texts that bear on, or are thought to bear on, Mesopotamian notions of the origin of the world, mankind, and the gods. New editions of seventeen additional &ldquo,creation tales&rdquo, are provided, including &ldquo,Enmesharra&rsquo,s Defeat,&rdquo, &ldquo,Enki and Ninmah,&rdquo, &ldquo,The Slaying of Labbu,&rdquo, and &ldquo,The Theogony of Dunnu.&rdquo,Lambert pays special attention, of course, to the connection of the main epic, Enuma Elish, with the rise and place of Marduk in the Babylonian pantheon. He traces the development of this deity&rsquo,s origin and rise to prominence and elaborates the relationship of this text, and the others discussed, to the religious and political climate Babylonia.The volume includes 70 plates (primarily hand-copies of the various exemplars of <,/i>,Enuma Elish<,/i>,) and extensive indexes._,

 ,  ,A central theme of the philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism is the highly esoteric principal known as spanda. Swami Lakshmanjoo tells us that the word &lsquo,spanda&rsquo, means established stable movement. That is, it is movementless-movement, vibrationless-vibration. It is this secret, mysterious and yet essential principle that Swami Lakshmanjoo clarifies and elucidates in his revelation of the two texts dealing specifically with this principle, the Spanda Karika ,and the Spanda Sandoha.  , , , The theory of spanda is not new. It was hidden in the body of the Tantras and extracted by Vasugupta, founder of the Shiva Sutras, and initiator of monistic Shaivism in the valley of Kashmir. Vasugupta composed the Spanda Karika, a text filled with the fundamentalprecepts (karikas) regarding spanda and the philosophy surrounding it. ,  , , , K?hemaraja, the chief disciple of the very important and central figure in the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, Abhinavagupta, is the author of the second pivotal text regarding spanda, the Spanda Sandoha. This text is an extensive exposition (sandoha) on the first verse of the Spanda Karika._,

Through the detailed explications of his own poems and stories based upon events from his own life, he immerses his reader deep into the intricate ",mechanisms", of poems and stories, explaining the complex elements and terms of artistic craft so clearly in his examples that they hardly seem ",complex", at all.  ,- Larry D. Thomas, Member, Texas Institute of Letters, 2008 Texas Poet Laureate Colliding with Orion proves ingenious in its structure, tone, and content. It is not an easy guide to follow or a comfortable dialogue to have. The questions Wise poses are difficult (What does morality feel like? How does one shoulder the burden of remorse?) and the techniques he recommends are increasingly exacting. The bottom line, to his credit, is the belief that ",every reader lives a life worth writing.", And writing elevates those lives. - Janis Haswell, Professor Emerita of English, Texas A&,M University-Corpus Christi ,Colliding with Orion Writing from Life ,is not your typical sanitized writing text with dusty examples from the &ldquo,masters.&rdquo, This work is fierce&mdash,Wise tells it like it is, warts and all. ,Writing from Life ,means exactly that, real life, written by real people with real flaws and problems. So in the spirit of shared risk, he offers authentic writing examples with anecdotes which share their autobiographical connections in a section he calls THE WRITER. Wise then gives a close reading of the piece (or group of pieces) to teach techniques which are mechanically in action within the work in a section called THE CRAFT. Each discussion closes with THE INVITATION where he hopes to have triggered recollections of moments and situations from a reader&rsquo,s own life, so that he/she may address the blank page because, as Wise says, from one writer to another, everyone lives a life worth writing about. ,Colliding with Orion&nbs
