Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The 2009 American science fiction film Avatar has earned widespread success, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time. The blockbuster has provoked vigorous discussion of a wide variety of cultural, social, political, and religious themes identified by critics and commentators, and the film's writer and director James Cameron has responded that he hoped to create an emotional reaction and to provoke public conversation about these topics. The broad range of Avatar's intentional or perceived themes has prompted reviewers to call it "an all-purpose allegory" and "the season's ideological Rorschach blot". One reporter even suggested that the politically-charged punditry has been "misplaced": reviewers should have seized on the opportunity to take "a break from their usual fodder of public policy and foreign relations" rather than making an ideological battlefield of this "popcorn epic". Discussion has centered around such themes as the conflict between modern man and nature, and the film's treatment of imperialism, racism, militarism and patriotism, corporate greed, citizens' property rights, and spirituality and religion. Commentators have debated whether the film's treatment of the human aggression against the native Na'vi is a message of support for native peoples today, or is, instead, a tired retelling of the racist myth of the noble savage. Critics from the right accused Cameron of pushing an anti-American message in the film's depiction of a military contractor that used ex-Marines to attack the natives, while Cameron and others argued that it is pro-American to question the propriety of the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The visual similarity between the destructio...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=26203851 ... Read more

Product Description
1878. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766155021. Volume 1 of 2. From the earliest time to the Age of Spinoza. The following brief sketch does not aspire to the dignity of a history; it is merely an outline or epitome of a history. In its details there is but little novelty, being chiefly a compilation, taken more frequently from translations and abridgments of originals, than from the originals themselves. Old well-authenticated facts have been treated under a new aspect; but there is no pretension to the discovery of a single new fact. ... Read more

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:IVHaeckel's Monism FOR special reasons I wish now to call attention to the philosophical attitude of the great German naturalist, Ernst Haeckel. From his recently revised work, "The Evolution of Man," I wish to quote two or three sentences, to be found in the second volume, wherein he sums up some of the conclusions arrived at from the study of various natural phenomena exhibited in the volumes above named.He says : " The opponents of the doctrine of Evolution are very fond of branding the monistic philosophy grounded upon it as ' materialism,' by confusing philosophical materialism with the wholly different and censurable moral materialism. Strictly, however, monism might, as accurately or as inaccurately, be called spiritualism as materialism. Thereal materialistic philosophy asserts that the vital phenomena of motion, like all other phenomena of motion, are effects or products of matter. The other opposite extreme, spiritualistic philosophy, asserts, on the contrary, that matter is the product of motive force, and that all material forms are produced by free forces entirely independent of the matter itself. Thus, according to the materialistic conception of the universe, matter, or substance, precedes motion, or active force. According to the spiritualistic conception of the universe, on the contrary, active force, or motion, precedes matter."Both views are dualistic, and we hold them both to be false. A contrast to bothviews is presented in, the monisticjghilosophy, which can as little believe in force without matter as in matter without force. It is onlynecessary to reflect on this for a time, from a strictly scientific view-point, to find that on close examination it is impossible clearly to represent the one without the other. As Goethe says: ' Matter ... ... Read more

Product Description
Pantheism differs from the systems of belief constituting the main religions of the world in being comparatively free from any limits of period, climate, or race. For while what we roughly call the Egyptian Religion, the Vedic Religion, the Greek Religion, Buddhism, and others of similar fame have been necessarily local and temporary, Pantheism has been, for the most part, a dimly discerned background, an esoteric significance of many or all religions, rather than a "denomination" by itself.***-J.
