Chapter Unheroic Heroes? Thermodynamics has benefited from nearly years of parallel development with quantum mechanics. As a result, thermal physics has been considerably enriched in concepts, technique and purpose, and now has a dominant role in the developments of physics, chemistry and biology.
This unique book explores the meaning and application of these developments using quantum theory as the starting point. The book links thermal physics and quantum mechanics in a natural way. Concepts are combined with interesting examples, and entire chapters are dedicated to applying the principles to familiar, practical and unusual situations.
Together with end-of-chapter exercises, this book gives advanced undergraduate and graduate students a modern perception and appreciation for this remarkable subject. Literate Culture: Pope's Rhetorical Art attempts a reconstruction of the rhetorical sensibility that Pope expected of his eighteenth-century reader and seeks a revision of our own understanding of his poetry as modern readers.
Rhetorical strategies explored in some detail are Pope's use of generic expectations in either traditional "poetic kinds" or in his own metamorphosed versions; underlying structures of argument patterned after classical oratorical models; his methods of appeal through rational argument, character, or emotion; his reliance on personae; and his variations of expressive "transparency" and "opacity" correlating with classical views of formalistic refinement and poetic distance--of "light" and "shadow.
In Pope began his serious planning for an opus magnum, which later became his Moral Essays and An Essay on Man, and shortly thereafter he turned his attention to the composition of his Horatian satires.
It appears that the satirical muse of his Moral Essays prepared him for the crucial inspiration of his friend Lord Bolingbroke around The prevailing satirical character of his later poetry, setting apart An Essay on Man, suggests a major shift in rhetorical strategies. Pope's later satires and An Essay on Man have been explored rhetorically to some extent, especially in his satirical use of the persona, but the rhetoric of his earlier poetry in general has been ignored. By focusing on six of his earlier poems this study brings us closer to a more comprehensive description of his rhetorical art.
Rhetorical treatments of his earlier poems have focused primarily on his couplet art, on tropes and figures, often neglecting larger designs generated by his couplets. When we consider his verse paragraphs rather than couplets as poetic units, structural elements become visible and we can perceive a paradigmatic relationship between Pope's own design and the rhetorical processes and modes within traditional and metamorphosed genres. This enables us to locate an imaginative center for each poem based on his rhetorical art.
Literate Culture: Pope's Rhetorical Art demonstrates how Pope's rhetoric merges with his poetics, producing a mimetic art that fuses form and content, sound and sense, creating a public poetry seeking to enchant and move his reader.
His methods of selecting, combining, shaping, and refracting test the limits of the poetic text--and its intertextuality--by consciously striving to take hold of his reader. Poetry becomes for Pope "a powerful rhetoric" Kenneth Burke's phrase if for no other reason than that the triadic relationship of poet, poem, and reader persistently abides. To instruct, delight, or simply impress ideas on his reader, Pope must in some way sustain this relationship.
Thus, in each of Pope's poems may be found a unique purpose revealed by its rhetorical methods. The ancient cultivators of great powers, once they thought of becoming demons, and once they thought of becoming buddhas, there were also experts of the martial way that broke through the void. They were the only ones who had the right to do so.
In chaotic times, geniuses would rise to prominence. The imperial government, sects, aristocratic families, and foreign races would battle with each other for karmic luck. Who could emerge from the masses and become a true dragon, reaching the peak of perfection? Like this book An Egyptologist who reads Egyptian hieroglyphics firsthand examines the esoteric tradition of Egypt in remarkable detail, exploring the dimensions of the language, cosmology, and temple life to show that a sacred mandate--the transformation of the human condition into its original cosmic substance--formed the foundation of Egypt's endeavors and still has great relevance today.
The Polish writer Stanislaw Lem is best known to English-speaking readers as the author of the science fiction novel Solaris, adapted into a meditative film by Andrei Tarkovsky in and remade in by Steven Soderbergh. Throughout his writings, comprising dozens of science fiction novels and short stories, Lem offered deeply philosophical and bitingly satirical reflections on the limitations of both science and humanity.
In Summa Technologiae—his major work of nonfiction, first published in and now available in English for the first time—Lem produced an engaging and caustically logical philosophical treatise about human and nonhuman life in its past, present, and future forms. After five decades Summa Technologiae has lost none of its intellectual or critical significance.
Strikingly original and still timely, Summa Technologiae resonates with a wide range of contemporary debates about information and new media, the life sciences, and the emerging relationship between technology and humanity.
