Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Perennial Alternative is the ripe fruit of a long, lively, in-depth exploration of Goethe's scientific work. Anyone who has begun to realize the significance of Goethe's scientific approach for us today will find this collection of brilliant essays richly rewarding. Frederick Amrine brings us up to date on the current reception of Goethe's scientific work and how it relates to the new paradigm of emergence and to such contemporary thinkers as Thomas Nagel, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Gilles Deleuze, and Thomas Kuhn.In a fascinating essay on the importance of Goethe's Italian Journey for the development of his organic thinking, the author digs deep into his intimate knowledge of Goethe's biography, shedding new light on Goethe's relationship with Spinoza's philosophy and with Newton's optics.In "The Metamorphosis of the Scientist," he articulates a central aspect of Goethean science--namely, that scientists, like all of organic nature, evolve. Their understanding of the world evolves with them in the sense that, as Goethe put it, "Every new object, well-observed and contemplated, opens up a new organ of perception in us."This volume also includes insightful essays on the work of contemporary Goethean scientists Jochen Bockemuehl, Michael Wilson, and Wolfgang Schad, as well as an excellent introduction to Schad's lifework, Threefoldness in Humans and Mammals.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The hectic pace of our lives is increasingly determined by the unconscious forces driving our thinking and by the relentless speed of the machines and automated intelligence that this thinking has produced. We are so caught up by the pressure this imposes upon us that we have largely lost any awareness of the regenerative, rhythmical activity that sustains us.For the sake of our health, sanity, and ultimately of our own productivity, we can, as this deeply refreshing, delightful little book suggests, slow down and turn our full attention to the creative life of nature as it manifests in the growth and development of plants, in human development, and even in the unfolding of our human endeavors.Drawing on his lifelong experience in regenerative agriculture, education, and planning, the author guides us in detailed observations that can awaken a deep sense of wonder at the creative lawfulness underlying all development. Van Mansvelt shows us how exact observation of plants can lead to a more inward contemplation of the formative gestures that manifest in their growth and metamorphosis--gestures that can also be discerned in the phases of human development and in the step-wise realization of our plans and projects. Through this enlivened contemplative activity, our thinking is transformed and gradually becomes not only attuned to, but capable of consciously participating in, and working with, the creative forces that give rise to developmental processes.When we focus our attention on the rhythms of life we can gain a new awareness of our deep, intrinsic kinship with nature, an enthusiasm for the further development of our capacities, and a sense of responsibility for what we contribute out of these abilities to the future development of society and nature.Includes numerous color illustrations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This monumental, ground-breaking work is the fruit of a lifetime of observation, research and meditation on humans and our closest animal relatives: mammals.The two volumes set out to answer questions such as:-- Are mammals solely the result of random mutation and natural selection essentially external factors or do the internal dynamics of the organism itself play a role in determining their astonishing diversity? -- Why do cattle have horns and deer have antlers?-- Why do small chipmunks have dorsal stripes that run parallel to their spine, and tigers have stripes on their flanks that run parallel to their ribs? Wolfgang Schad demonstrates how such fascinating phenomena can be traced to which organ systems -- nerve-sense, centred in the head; metabolic-limb, centred in the digestive organs and limbs; and circulatory-respiratory, centred in the chest -- are emphasised in a particular species. In this way he establishes the basis for a systematic understanding of mammalian morphology.Schad shows how the different emphases come to expression through a mammal's size, morphology, dentition and coloration, and also in its preferred habit and embryonic development.In almost five decades since its first edition, Wolfgang Schad has continued to add to what has become his life's major work. This expanded edition includes many new insights and additional chapters on antelopes, marsupials, bats, xenarthrans (armadillos, anteaters, and sloths), and pangolins, as well as on milk and mammalian embryology, mammalian embryology and much more. Over 1500 photographs and drawings as well as numerous diagrams illustrate the dynamic relationships between the various families, genera and species. This expanded and updated third edition is presented in a sturdy, handsome slip case. We're delighted that this important work is once again available to readers. Two volume expanded and updated edition of this landmark work on mammals, which is the fruit of a lifetime of observation, research and meditation.
