About this Item

Over a period of 22 years (1934-1955), mathematician Kurt G del put down a series of philosophical remarks - the so-called Philosophical Maxims (Max Phil) - in writing. They have been passed down in 15 notebooks written in Gabelsberger shorthand. The first notebook contains general philosophical reflections, while the second and third notebooks consist of G del's applied individual ethics. The notebooks that follow show that G del developed a philosophy of science in which he placed his considerations of physics, psychology, biology, mathematics, language, theology, and history within the context of a particular metaphysics. Now for the first time ever, a complete, historical-critical edition of G del's philosophical notebooks is being prepared by the Kurt G del Research Center of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. One volume will be published yearly as part of this series. With the notebook Maxims III, a new section of G del's philosophical notebooks begins. This notebook sheds light on the relationship between various disciplines - in particular psychology, mathematics (specifically logic), and theology - and their respective significance for both the thinking and working scholar and for the knowledge system. It also contains considerations on heuristics and scholarly methods. The role of fundamental or simple concepts in thinking also becomes apparent.

About this title

Synopsis

Life: Don’t just live it, seize it!

Drive it! Push it to the max! For what’s a life that’s merely there? Ryan Dobson, building off the call to die to self, the foundation he set in To Die For, expands now on the thrill of uncovering the reason for your life and living fully for God. This book explores the many dimensions of a life that’s sold-out for Jesus. It’s one that involves laying down your pride, increasingly trusting God to have His way with you. It involves motion—constant and purposeful progress, courageous risk taking, always loving, and forever giving, giving, giving. Because once you’re committed to serving God twenty-four seven, no questions asked, the next step is a nonstop, breath-taking adventure: living for Him…every time, ALL the time!

You gave up your life for the sake of Christ, but you can’t just stop there. Now it’s time to really come alive. Try an honest,

raw and real, deeper, more passionate pursuit of Jesus Christ.

Building on the call to die to self in To Die For, Ryan Dobson explores now what’s truly worth living for. Discover the reason you’re here and begin taking the kind of risks that continually propel you toward a deeper, more meaningful existence. It’s an irresistible life marked by pure, unencumbered passion.

Story Behind the Book

To Die For emphasized the importance of dying to self in order to live fully for Jesus. But what about that full life in Christ? This book is the necessary “part two” that launches readers full-speed-ahead into the only life truly worth living. Ryan’s heart for the younger generation, and his extensive contact with them as he travels around the country for more than 100 speaking engagements a year, qualifies him to speak with authority on the subject and to meet readers right where they’re at.
