Impersonal Passion: Language as Affect
1 review
Denise Riley
Duke University Press
, 2005
brilliant, witty, disorienting, profound
Riley is profound and hilarious in these essays, turning her most lucid philosophy of language into vignettes from ordinary life and thus quite brilliantly establishing a philosophy of language for emotional vexations that emerge from and against impinging social and linguistic conventions. Her work on the passions follows from her quite fine work, Words of Selves, showing how our most intimate ...

Only Open Minds Should Even Bother Opening This Book.
This book is for people who wish to open up their thinking, and subsequently change their material conditions.This is not for people who believe in some literal, anthropomorphic "God." But rather, it uses Xian teachings as a metaphor to reveal universal ideas.This type of material long preceeded titles like "The Secret."It's age-old wisdom.But don't get it if you're a literal-minded Bible thumper ...

There's no reviewing this book
This book was written by someone who had transcended their ego, as they required no credit for writing it. If your path has taken you to this writing, your life will never be the same, whether an immediate understanding or delayed. Understanding will come in layers.
Dialogue, Catalogue & Monologue: Personal, Impersonal and Depersonalizing Ways to use Words
Craig M. Gay
Regent College Publishing
, 2008
Dialogue, Catalogue & Monologue is about words and the attitudes that we take toward them. Its purpose is to encourage us to take the words we speak more seriously than we are perhaps in the habit of doing. We have become so used to the deceptive subtleties and half-truths that reach our eyes and ears that we have probably been tempted to lose our faith in words and to back away from the words of others. We may even have been tempted to break ...

Very good work
Prof. Mutz is now probably one of the most well-known political communication scholars of the younger generation in the US. In this book, which consists of a number of research she had conducted in the past decade, she provided a very good discussion of the effects of how perception of public opinion can affect public opinion. Competing hypotheses are well discussed and research well designed to ...

A very special chapter clearly ...

A compact keeper to carry with you.
This is one of the best spiritual/metaphysical/philosophical books ever written. I have searched long and read many books and very few pass my spiritual and intellectual criteria. This is a very rare treasure. If you like any of the following, you will like this book. My top picks, in case you are interested, are: * Conversations with God (CWG) - books 1, 2, & 3 - Neale Donald Walsch ...

An inspired momentous book!
We can't all have a guru with which to bow down to to aid us on our path. This is the best book I have found to help me on my journey towards the light. Getting out of my head and into my heart has been my biggest hurdle. This book has been immensely helpful to me.

A diamond of a little book (will move YOU like Elvis!)
The Impersonal Life is being marketed by DeVorss & Co as "the Little Book in Which Elvis found the light." And for good reasons: it's a sound marketing move, it gets more people to read it....and this potent little book will truly help you find the (inner/spiritual) light if you are even slightly seeking it. This book has little to do with Elvis, except that he loved it second only to the ...

Objectivity: The Obligations of Impersonal Reason
3 reviews
Nicholas Rescher
University of Notre Dame Press
, 1997
A solid pragmatic defense of epistemic objectivity.
Nicholas Rescher, probably the single most prolific author among contemporary philosophers, here provides a sturdy defense of objectivity based on the primacy and inevitability of practical reason. His concern here is with _epistemic_ objectivity -- that is, "not with the _subject matter_ of a claim but with its _justification_." What such objectivity calls for, he contends, is "not allowing ...

Simply the BEST!
This is just about the BEST book ever written in the entire history of the human race! Whether or not you are a sociologist, sexologist, or just someone looking for an incredible piece of scientific work ... this is the book you need to read. I read it cover-to-cover without even putting it down, it's that good. You'll be amazed how much this book says about human nature, in general, and you'll ...

Economic anthropology at its best
In this short text (it's officially known as a "pamphlet," rather in the tradition of Tom Paine), Keith Hart challenges us to rethink much of what we know about contemporary economics and social relations. The six brief chapters of the text's body treat different themes, covering topics as diverse as recent Bollywood films and the expansion of "intellectual property." Yet the entire work hangs ...

Sent two copies back
As the previous reviewer said, it's a great book, but.... The previous editions were slightly smaller than a paperback book, so I wanted a larger, easier to read and handle, edition. The first copy I got had pages you couldn't read. I sent it back pointing this out. They sent me another one that had the same problem. So it went back too. Rather than go back to the original text file, it ...

Excellent
The message of this book is very profound.The author speaks about many topics .I want to mention one of the concepts .I was really impressed by the words " Whatever you hold in consciousness , will manifest into your body and affairs" . This reminds me of Paramahansa Yogananda( His Autobiography of a Yogi is a classic ) 's words " If you hold onto an idea with dynamic will power ; it finally ...
