The Titan Within
What if the only superpower you had… controlled you? Kai didn’t ask to become a vessel for the Titan—a sentient, unstoppable force passed down through blood and sacrifice. Now, every time someone is in danger, his body transforms, his mind vanishes, and the Titan takes over. His father died carrying this burden. Now it's Kai’s curse. As cities fall and cults rise, Kai is hunted by a government that wants to weaponize him, and a fanatical faction that wants to unleash more Titans like him. Haunted by visions, stalked by a Herald bent on psychic domination, and guided only by fragments of his father’s past, Kai must confront the truth: He was never meant to be the hero. But if he doesn’t learn to fight the Titan—and the darkness inside it—no one will survive what’s coming. ✔ Superhuman action ✔ Dark mystery and sci-fi worldbuilding ✔ Enemies, mentors, secret experiments ✔ Deep emotional stakes
Figurativity and Human Ecology
Author: Alexandra Bagasheva
language: en
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
Release Date: 2022-11-15
Figurativity has attracted scholars’ attention for thousands of years and yet there are still open questions concerning its nature. Figurativity and Human Ecology endorses a view of figurativity as ubiquitous in human reasoning and language, and as a key example of how a human organism and its perceived or imagined environment co-function as a system. The volume sees figurativity not only as embedded in an environment but also as a way of acting within that environment. It places figurativity within an ecological context, and approaches it as a phenomenon which cuts across bodily, psychological, linguistic, social, cultural and natural environments. Figurativity and Human Ecology will appeal to those interested in the analysis of the all-encompassing creativity of the human mind and in the methodological difficulties associated with the study of cognition.
Fragments of Parmenides
This book is a revised and expanded version of A.H. Coxon's full critical edition of the extant remains of Parmenides of Elea-the fifth-century B.C. philosopher by many considered "e;one of the greatest and most astonishing thinkers of all times."e; (Karl Popper) Coxon's presentation of the complete ancient evidence for Parmenides and his comprehensive examination of the fragments, unsurpassed to this day, have proven invaluable to our understanding of the Eleatic since the book's first publication in 1986. This edition, edited by Richard McKirahan and with a new preface by Malcolm Schofield, is released on the 100th anniversary of Coxon's birth. This new edition for the first time includes English translations of the testimonia and of any Ancient Greek throughout the book, as well as an English/Greek glossary by Richard McKirahan, and revisions by the late author himself. The text consists of Coxon's collations of the relevant folios of manuscripts of Sextus Empiricus, Proclus and Simplicius and includes all extant fragments, a commentary, the testimonia, a complete list of sources, linguistic parallels from both earlier and later authors, and the fullest critical apparatus that has appeared since Diels' Poetarum Philosophorum Fragmenta (1901). The collection of testimonia includes the philosophical discussions of Parmenides by Plato, Aristotle and the Neoplatonists, most of which had been omitted by Diels. The introduction discusses the history of the text, the language and form of the poem, Parmenides' use and understanding of the verb 'to be', his place in the history of earlier and later philosophy and the biographical tradition. In the commentary Coxon deals in detail with both the language and the subject matter of the poem and pays full attention to Parmenides' account of the physical world. The appendix relates later Eleatic arguments to those of Parmenides.
