Matter and Memory by Henri Bergson6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Essential to an understanding of Bergson's philosophy and its legacy, this volume appears on the Malaspina Great Books Core Reading List.Essential to an understanding of Bergson's philosophy and its legacy, Matter and Memory is among Dover's Philosophical Classics. His original and innovative views exercised a profound influence on other philosophers - including James, Whitehead, and Santayana - as well as novelists such as Dos Passos and Proust. Nobel Prize-winner Henri Bergson surveys these independent but related spheres, exploring the connection of mind and body to individual freedom of choice.Bergson's efforts to reconcile the facts of biology to a theory of consciousness offered a challenge to the mechanistic view of nature, and his philosophy can be regarded as a forerunner to later developments in relativity theory and conceptions of mental process. A monumental work by an important modern philosopher, Matter and Memory (1896) represents one of the great inquiries into perception and memory, movement and time, matter and mind. ![]()

Doctor zhivago by boris pasternak6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Given an opportunity to escape his forced detention, he basically walked across Siberia to his old home but found his family had relocated. In many ways he was a victim of the times: forcibly taken by the partisans to work in hospitals on the battlefields, he was removed without notice from his wife, Tonya, and young family, who could only guess at his whereabouts. Zhivago was an intellectual and as such, an enemy of the people in the new Communist regime. ![]() Zhivago’s life reflected that of the author’s in his relationships with women also. He went on to study music and philosophy but gave them up to devote himself to poetry. Pasternak was born into an artistic family and had a classical education. Yuri Zhivago, the main character, is a physician and poet. ![]() From what I’ve read about the author, the book is partly autobiographical. It wasn’t until 1988, twenty-eight years after his death, that the book was published in Russia for the first time. It was either that or be banished from the country he loved. Pasternak initially accepted the award but after a brutal denunciation by the Soviet regime he reluctantly renounced it. Pasternak won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958 ‘For his important achievement both in contemporary lyrical poetry and in the field of the great Russian epic tradition.’ Doctor Zhivago was first published in the West in 1957 but was banned in the Soviet Union. ![]() The Blue Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Then Phate delivers a huge blow, murdering one of the division's own - a "wizard" who had pioneered the internet - and the search takes on a zealous intensity.
