Synopsis

A Graphic Guide Introducing Thinking to Change World Collection 8 Books Set Logic, Chaos, Lacan, Postmodernism, Quantum Theory, Nietzsche, Critical Theory, Political Philosophy. Logic This book follows the historical development of logic, explains the symbols and methods involved and explores the philosophical issues surrounding the topic in an easy-to-follow and friendly manner. Chaos "Introducing Chaos" explains how chaos makes its presence felt in many varieties of event. It examines the roots of chaos in modern mathematics and physics, and explores the relationship between chaos and complexity, the new unifying theory which suggests that all complex systems evolve from a few simple rules. Lacan Jacques Lacan is now regarded as a major psychoanalytical theorist alongside Freud and Jung, although recognition has been delayed by fierce arguments over his ideas. Written by a leading Lacanian analyst, "Introducing Lacan" guides the reader through his innovations. Postmodernism What connects Marliyn Monroe, Disneyworld, "The Satanic Verses" and cyber space? Answer: Postmodernism. But what exactly is postmodernism? This graphic guide explains clearly the maddeningly enigmatic concept that has been used to define the world's cultural condition over the last three decades. Quantum Theory Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. At the subatomic level. Nietzsche What are the limitations of scientific knowledge? Is human evolution complete or only beginning? It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Friedrich Nietzsche for our present epoch. His extraordinary insights into human psychology, morality, religion and power seem quite clairvoyant today: existentialism, psychoanalysis, semiotics and postmodernism are plainly anticipated in his writings - which are famously enigmatic. Critical Theory, Political Philosophy included.
