Sommario/riassunto |

What can a fingernail tell us about the mysteries of creation? In one sense, a nail is merely a hunk of mute matter, yet in another, it's an information superhighway quite literally at our fingertips. Every moment, streams of molecular signals direct our cells to move, flatten, swell, shrink, divide, or die. Andreas Wagner's ambitious new book explores this hidden web of unimaginably complex interactions in every living being. In the process, he unveils a host of paradoxes underpinning our understanding of modern biology, contradictions he considers gatekeepers at the frontiers of knowledge.Though we tend to think of concepts in such mutually exclusive pairs as mind-matter, self-other, and nature-nurture, Wagner argues that these opposing ideas are not actually separate. Indeed, they are as inextricably connected as the two sides of a coin. Through a tour of modern |

|
biological marvels, Wagner illustrates how this paradoxical tension has a profound effect on the way we define the world around us. Paradoxical Life is thus not only a unique account of modern biology. It ultimately serves a radical-and optimistic-outlook for humans and the world we help create. |

SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL OFFER Parmenides Publishing is excited to announce this, the first volume in their new series; The Enneads Of Plotinus With Philosophical Commentaries. To celebrate this special occasion, we are offering a 25% Discount on all orders of Ennead IV.8 via the Gazelle website. This offer is valid for two months following publication. Plotinus was much exercised by Plato's doctrines of the soul. In this treatise, at chapter 1 line 27, he talks of the divine Plato, who has said in many places in his works many noble things about the soul and its arrival here, so that we can hope for some clarity from him. So what does the philosopher say? It is clear that he does not always speak with sufficient consistency for us to make out his intentions with any ease. The issue in this treatise is one that has puzzled students of Plato from ancient to modern times -- and is indeed a popular topic for |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
undergraduate essays even today: Why should the philosopher, who has ascended through a long and painful process of dialectic to assimilation to the divine, ever descend back into the body?Plotinus himself is said by Porphyry to have attained such a state of other-worldly transcendence on at least four occasions during his lifetime, so this was a very real and personal issue for him. In this treatise we see him grappling with it. |
