6/29/2023 0 Comments Sartre being and nothingnessWhich explanation is correct? Are both correct? Or is my understanding just wrong? Humans, on the other hand, can perceive a lack of something and can strive forward to solve its deficiency, and in that sense, it is a being-for-itself. Ordinary objects can only exist, and in that sense, it is a being-in-itself. Other authors explain that 'nothingness' represents the unique ability of a human to perceive a lack of something in the world. Sartre's 'nothingness' is an affirmation of vanishing the boundary between the subject(consciousness) and the object(the external world). Consciousness is nothing more than the state of perceiving numerous individual stimulations consciousness is nothingness. Some authors explain that 'nothingness' is the denial of thinking of one's consciousness as a concrete entity with predefined essence. I am confused about what 'nothingness' mean in Sartre's ⟪Being and Nothingness⟫. A head-up: I am from an analytic background, and I have only read continental philosophy via second sources.

Rowan's attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga, moving around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds.Īshlar is the last of his race-or so he thinks. Find here the original trilogy from Anne Rice's bestselling series about the lives of Mayfair witches.ĭemonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches-a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women.Īt the center of this novel: the brilliant and beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven - and Lasher, the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. No, Ock is planning to remain as Peter Parker forever. Or a.well, you can do the math on combining those terms. It's not one of these situations where he's impersonating Spider-Man so that people will continue to call him a Menace. Haven't you always wondered if your life would be better if you were 10% more of an asshole? If you just cared a little less about what people thought and instead just did things because you felt like it? Because Ock isn't necessarily TRYING to ruin Peter Parker's life. It's a book that tackles that old question. Peter Parker is really smart, but absolutely not an asshole. The thing is, Ock is really smart and kind of an asshole. It's one of those nightmare scenarios, where you're watching Doc Ock (yeah, wer're tight, I call him Ock) ruin Peter Parker's life because he comes at it the way he does his own. Not a spoiler because it's how the volume begins, but what you should know is that Doctor Octopus has put his mind into the body of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Demonglass by rachel hawkinsSophie’s world was turned upside down when she’s had to kill someone to save her own skin, and her crush came after her with a knife.

I remember with particular fondness a pear-potato bisque finished with a white wine from France. This is massive trauma for any author, and so I responded in time-honored authorial fashion: I sobbed loudly at her over the phone, and then I left my hotel room and found the priciest restaurant within walking distance, where I ate and drank everything on the menu from soup to nuts, at Putnam’s expense. I was on book tour with, I think it was, Breakup, the seventh Kate Shugak novel, when my editor at Putnam called to tell me that she was leaving for a job at another publishing house. Of course, small town tensions tend to simmer just beneath the surface, and murder, once done, has a tendency to happen again… Dealing with death is never simple, but when the woman leaning over the body proves to be Liam’s old flame, it’s evident that his new job is about to become much more complicated.įrom Newenham’s cast of eccentric – and sometimes hair-trigger – residents, to the intricate ballet of fishing boats rushing against time to net their limit, Stabenow captures the contagious spirit of melancholy madness that pervades America’s last frontier. Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell, demoted and reassigned to the remote Bush town of Newenham, literally steps off the plane into a murder scene. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Bad feminist by roxane gayOne of the reasons Gay gives for resisting the notion of essential feminism is its tendency to overlook issues involving race.
