Lessons from Famous Philosophers: A Crash Course on the Ideas of the Greatest Philosophers of All Time ~ (An Intro to Philosophy's Best Philosophers) by Nicolas Peterson (22 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

If you're looking for an easy-to-follow introduction of some of the greatest philosophers of all time (and their revolutionary ideas that changed the world), then this book is for you! Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet, or Kindle device. Philosophy comes from the Greek words philo (love of) and sophia (wisdom). It was -- and still is -- an attempt to understand as much as one can about the world, a holistic approach toward knowledge. It was only during the industrial revolution that we began to put scientists, researchers, and mechanics on one side, and philosophers on the other. In so doing, we placed a great divide between information associated with science and math, and the knowledge associated with experience, morality, conduct, and the spiritual world. We therefore have an unflattering view of today's philosophers, as many are considered religious nuts or morality freaks. But this is unfair. Since Philosophy is an attempt to create a rational understanding of the ...

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine (Landmark Video Games) by Bernard Perron (University of Michigan Press) (130 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine, the second of the two inaugural studies in the Landmark Video Games series from series editors Mark J. P. Wolf and Bernard Perron, is both a close analysis of the first three Silent Hill games and a general look at the whole series. Silent Hill, with its first title released in 1999, is one of the most influential of the horror video game series. Perron situates the games within the survival horror genre, both by looking at the history of the genre and by comparing Silent Hill with such important forerunners as Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. Taking a transmedia approach and underlining the designer's cinematic and literary influences, he uses the narrative structure; the techniques of imagery, sound, and music employed; the game mechanics; and the fiction, artifact, and gameplay emotions elicited by the games to explore the specific fears survival horror games are designed to provoke and how the experience as a whole has made the Silent Hill ...
