About the Author: Claude Lévi-Strauss (French: Claude Lévi-Strauss); (November 28, 1908 – October 30, 2009), French sociologist. Lévi-Strauss began his formation by studying philosophy, but these arbitrary abstract theories far from social reality soon disappointed him, so he traveled to Brazil, where he taught sociology and discovered the works of American anthropologists (unknown in Europe at the time) such as Boas, Cropper and Louie. After returning to France in 1948, he presented his thesis on the theoretical problems of kinship. He was elected professor at the Collège de France in 1959 and held the chair of social anthropology that had been held by Marcel Mauss before him. The work and science of Lévi-Strauss had the greatest impact in the field of anthropology and ethnological field investigation.

كلود ليفي شتراوس من علماء الاجتماع الفرنسيين ولد سنة 1908 و لا يزال على قيد الحياة. بدأ ليفي شتراوس تكوينه بدراسة الفلسفة غير أن هذه النظريات المجردة الاعتباطية البعيدة عن الواقع الاجتماعي ما لبثت أن تخيب آماله فسافر إلى برازيل حيث درّس علم الاجتماع واكتشف أعمال علماء الإنسان الأميركيين (غير المعروفة في أوروبا آنذاك) مثل بواس وكروبر ولووي وأقام بين ظهراني السكان الأصليين (الهنود). نشر ملاحظاته في كتاب صدر سنة 1948 ثم في كتابه المشهور “المدارات الحزينة” (1955). ثم اكتشف أثناء الحرب العالمية الثانية أعمال رومان جاكوبسون واللسانيات البنيوية التي اعتبرها منهجًا علميًا ححقيقيًا مطبّقًا على الظواهر الإنسانية سيستقيه في ما بعد لابتكار نماذج تفسيرية جديدة من شأنها الكشف عن الدوافع الذهنية التي تعطي والواقع الاجتماعي وثقافي شكله. بعد عودته إلى فرنسا سنة 1948 قدّم أطروحة عن المشاكل النظرية للقرابة (1949). انتخب أستاذًا في كوليج دو فرانس سنة 1959 وشغل كرسي الأنثروبولوجيا الاجتماعية الذي كان مارسيل موس احتله قبله. فكان لأعمال ليفي شتراوس وتعليمه أثر بليغ في مجال علم الإنسان والتحقيق الإثنولوجي الميداني.

ليفي شتراوس” اثنوغرافي وسوسيولوجي فرنسي، من أعلام البنيوية، وضع نظرية في العقلية البدائية تعارض نظرية ليفي بريل في الكثير من جوانبها، وفي هذا الكتاب يقدم المترجم بعضاً من مقالاته المختارة بهدف إطلاع القارئ العربي على بعض من جوانب تفكيره وآرائه حيث توزعت المقالات المنتقاة ستة محاور. المحور الأول حول “علم العياني” يبين فيه شتراوس أن الغنى بالكلمات المجردة ليس وفقاً على اللغات الحضارية وحدها إذ أن بعض الشعوب البدائية تستخدم كلمات مجردة من أجل الدلالة على كثير من خصائص الكائنات والأشياء وخصالها. وفي علم الأناسة” يذهب شتراوس إلى أن العصر الذي نسميه عصر النهضة هو عصر ولادة حقيقية بالنسبة للاستعمار وللإناسة ثم نشأ بين هذه وذلك حوار ملتبس ابتدأ منذ تجابههما لدى انبثاقهما عن الأصل المشترك واستمر طيلة أربعة قرون ولو أن الاستعمار لم يوجد لكان من الممكن أن يكون ازدهار الأناسة أقل تأخراً ولكن كان من الممكن أيضاً أن لا تندفع الأناسة كما هو حاصل الآن. وفي “المعايير العلمية في فروع المعرفة الاجتماعية والإنسانية، لم يحدد المؤلف بصورة دقيقة الفرق المبدئي الذي يتعلق باستعمال لفظة “علم” في العلوم الاجتماعية والإنسانية واستعمالها في العلوم الدقيقة والطبيعية، ويعرض لبعض الأسباب الكامنة وراء التباين الذي نجده بين العلوم الفيزيائية والعلوم الإنسانية. وفي “الانقطاعات الثقافية والنمو الاقتصادي والاجتماعي” يبحث المؤلف تلك المشكلة التي طرحت على الوعي الغربي بصورة مفاجئة ودرامية في القرن السادس عشر، إبان اكتشاف العالم الجديد. كما يبحث في “العرق والتاريخ” عن مساهمة الأعراق البشرية في الحضارة فيطرح مسألة تنوع الثقافات، مبيناً أن الثقافات البشرية لا تختلف فيما بينها بنفس الصيغة ولا على نفس الصعيد أما في المحور الأخير “العرق والثقافة” فيؤكد شتراوس أن العاملين في مجال الأناسة لم يتوصلوا إلى الاتفاق فيما بينهم بشأن ما هو العرق أو ما ليس هو.. وليس ثمة ما يشير إلى أنهم اليوم أقرب إلى التفاهم حول جواب على هذه المسألة.

من كلمة الغلاف الأخير يقول الناشر “بعد كتاب (المكَاريد) يعود محمد الأخرس للتقليب في عوالم أبناء الطبقات الشعبية وثقافتهم، يعود هذه المرة ليقلب في (دفاترهم العتيكَة) وكل ما تم إهماله أو تهميشه من ذاكرتهم الاجتماعية ومن تراثهم في العادات والتقاليد والفولكلور، ليقدّم لنا سياحة أنثروبولوجية في صور حياة فئات من المجتمع العراقي قلّما نعثر على ما يماثلها”. ويضيف الناشر:”(دفاتر خردة فرّوش) جهدٌ توثيقيّ خاص، وخطوة جريئة لمواجهة الذات الاجتماعية العراقية بكل شوائبها ومفارقات ذاكرتها الغنية بالحكايات والمواقف المثيرة، وإذا كان محمّد غازي الأخرس يقدم هذه الحكايات والمواقف بروح السخرية السوداء، فإنه يحمل في كل حكاياته وجعه مما آل إليه العراق”. ويشير الناشر إلى خصيصة مهمّة في اشتغالات الأخرس بقوله “في هذا الكتاب، جهد أنثروبولوجي، يفتح باباً واسعاً لقراءة ودراسة المجتمع العراقي في وقائعه الفعلية حيث تُكتشف البنى والأسباب التي أدت إلى استجابة المجتمع العراقي للدخول في هذا الصراع الدامي والعنيف، وهذا الصراع البشع هو ما يدفع الأخرس إلى أن يحفر لينكأ الجروح، وليس ذلك بهدف وضع الملح على الجرح، إنما بهدف إخراج القيح للإسهام في الشفاء”. ضمّ الكتاب ستة فصول، كلّ فصل عبارة عن دفتر يتحدث عن محور بعينه، حيث تناول “دفتر العشيرة” المنظومة العشائرية العراقيّة بتفاصيلها وذاكرتها وتأثيرها، الجنوبيّة خصوصاً، فيما ناقش “هامش المدينة ومتنها” مسألة الاختلافات الطبقيّة بين سكّان بغداد الوافدين إليها من الجنوب، و”متنها” الارستقراطي البرجوازيّ المتعامل بفوقيّة دائمة مع “الهامش”، وناقش أيضاً الأخرس في “دفتر الخرافة” الميثولوجيا المنسلّة داخل التفاصيل الدينيّة من جهة، والنشاطات الاجتماعية البشرية لأبطاله “المكَاريد” من جهة أخرى، واختتم الأخرس كتابه بـ”دفتر سلمان المنكوب” و”دفتر طشارة”. و “خردة فروش” عبارة ذات أصول عثمانية، ترمزُ إلى سوق البراغيث، أو العاديات، أو بيع الأشياء العتيقة والمهملة، حيث يربطُ الأخرس بين هذه السوق التي تحتوي على الأشياء القديمة المتعددة المهملة، وعن الذاكرة العراقيّة التي يبتعد عنها المثقفُ وينأى بنفسه عن الاشتغال بها. يذكر أن محمّد غازي الأخرس شاعر وناقد وباحث وإعلاميّ عراقيّ، صدر له (شمعون – نصوص حرجة) بطريقة الاستنساخ في تسعينيات القرن الماضي، (خريف المثقف في العراق)، (كتاب المكَاريد)، وهذا الكتاب.

Author: Ernest Becker

About the Author: Dr. Ernest Becker was a cultural anthropologist and interdisciplinary scientific thinker and writer.
Becker was born in Springfield, Massachusetts to Jewish immigrant parents. After completing military service, in which he served in the infantry and helped to liberate a Nazi concentration camp, he attended Syracuse University in New York. Upon graduation he joined the US Embassy in Paris as an administrative officer. In his early 30s, he returned to Syracuse University to pursue graduate studies in cultural anthropology. He completed his Ph.D. in 1960. The first of his nine books, Zen, A Rational Critique (1961) was based on his doctoral dissertation. After Syracuse, he became a professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC (Canada).
Becker came to the recognition that psychological inquiry inevitably comes to a dead end beyond which belief systems must be invoked to satisfy the human psyche. The reach of such a perspective consequently encompasses science and religion, even to what Sam Keen suggests is Becker’s greatest achievement, the creation of the “science of evil.” In formulating his theories Becker drew on the work of Søren Kierkegaard, Sigmund Freud, Wilhelm Reich, Norman O. Brown, Erich Fromm, and especially Otto Rank. Becker came to believe that a person’s character is essentially formed around the process of denying his own mortality, that this denial is necessary for the person to function in the world, and that this character-armor prevents genuine self-knowledge. Much of the evil in the world, he believed, was a consequence of this need to deny death.
Because of his breadth of vision and avoidance of social science specialization, Becker was an academic outcast in the last decade of his life. It was only with the award of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 for his 1973 book, The Denial of Death (two months after his own death from cancer at the age of 49) that he gained wider recognition. Escape From Evil (1975) was intended as a significant extension of the line of reasoning begun in Denial of Death, developing the social and cultural implications of the concepts explored in the earlier book. Although the manuscript’s second half was left unfinished at the time of his death, it was completed from what manuscript existed as well as from notes on the unfinished chapter.
The Ernest Becker Foundation is devoted to multidisciplinary inquiries into human behavior, with a particular focus on contributing to the reduction of violence in human society, using Becker’s basic ideas to support research and application at the interfaces of science, the humanities, social action and religion.
Some of the above information is from the EBF website and used by permission.
Becker also wrote The Birth and Death of Meaning which gets its title from the concept of man moving away from the simple minded ape into a world of symbols and illusions, and then deconstructing those illusions through his own evolving intellect.
Flight From Death (2006) is a documentary film directed by Patrick Shen, based on Becker’s work, and partially funded by the Ernest Becker Foundation.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of life’s work, Denying Death is Ernst Becker’s brilliant and enthusiastic answer to the “why” of human existence. In contrast to the dominant Freudian school, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie – the refusal of man to admit his own death. It thus sheds a new light on the nature of humanity and issues an invitation to life and life that still reverberates more than twenty years after its writing. review Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., author of Death and Dying Brings together what others have torn to shreds and rendered useless. It is one of those rare masterpieces that will stimulate your thoughts, intellectual curiosity and last but not least your soul… The New York Times Book Review…a brave act of electrifying intelligence and emotion, an optimist and a revolutionary, destined to endure… The Albuquerque Journal Book Review … To read it is to know the joy that is inherent in the development of a mind that understands new possibilities and forms a new synthesis. Death Denial is a great book – one of the few great books of the twentieth or any other century. Chicago Sun-Times The importance of this book is hard to overstate; Baker succeeded brilliantly in what he set out to do, and the effort was essential.

How Enlightenment Changes Your Brain book pdf download By Mark Robert Waldman

In this original and groundbreaking book, Andrew Newberg, MD, and Mark Robert Waldman turn their attention to the pinnacle of human experience: the Enlightenment. Through brain-scan studies on Brazilian psychics, mystics, Buddhist meditators, Franciscan nuns, racists, and participants in rituals of secular spirituality, Newberg has explored the specific neural mechanisms associated with the experience of enlightenment—and how we can activate those circuits in our brains. In his survey of over a thousand people who experienced enlightenment, Newberg also discovered that profound and positive life changes occurred in the aftermath. Enlightenment offers us the possibility to permanently become less prone to stress, to break bad habits, to improve our collaboration and creative skills, and to live happier and more fulfilling lives. Telling the story of his transformative experience as well as including the stories of others trying to describe a truly unspeakable event, Newberg brings us a new paradigm of deep and lasting change.

MAN’S GREATEST FEAR examines the fears of man which drive him to dominate woman, destroy his environment, and slaughter his own kind in war. The psychological defenses of man, which prevent him from facing his fears and thus changing his destructive behavior, are also identified and explained. In conclusion, Dr. Marshall maintains that woman’s quest must not be for equality with man, but instead for control of his destructive nature if the human species is to avoid extinction.

El Génesis revisado : ¿estará la ciencia moderna alcanzando los conocimientos de la antigüedad book pdf download By Zecharia Sitchin

En las últimas décadas del siglo xx, la humanidad ha presenciado unaumento considerable, casi abrumador, de sus conocimientos. Losavances en todos los campos de la ciencia y de la tecnología ya no semiden en siglos, ni siquiera en décadas, sino en años e, incluso, enmeses; y tenemos la sensación de haber sobrepasado enconocimientos y posibilidades todo lo que el hombre habíaconseguido en el pasado.Pero, ¿es posible que la humanidad haya salido de las ÉpocasOscuras y de la Edad Media, que haya llegado a la Era de laIlustración y haya pasado por la Revolución Industrial, que hayaentrado en la era de la alta tecnología, de la ingeniería genética y delos vuelos espaciales, simplemente para ponerse a la altura, en cuantoa conocimientos, del hombre de la antigüedad?A lo largo de generaciones y generaciones, la Biblia y susenseñanzas han servido de anclaje para una humanidad que buscaba,pero apareció la ciencia moderna y lo echó todo a rodar,especialmente en la confrontación entre Evolución y Creacionismo.En este volumen demostraremos que aquel conflicto no tenía ningúnfundamento, y que en el Libro del Génesis y en sus fuentes se reflejanconocimientos científicos del más alto nivel.Así pues, ¿es posible que lo que nuestra civilización estádescubriendo hoy en día acerca del planeta Tierra y acerca de nuestrorincón del universo, de los cielos, no sea más que un drama quepodría tener por título «El Génesis revisado», simplemente, elredescubrimiento de algo que ya conocía una civilización mucho másantigua, en la Tierra y en otro planeta?
