The Western Tradition is that humans are partially spiritual beings with an immortal destiny. This tradition is under heavy attack, most of all perhaps from neuroscience. According to Richard Watson, biographer of Descartes, the future looks like this: "When humankind finally faces the fact that the mind is the brain, that there is no independently existing mental soul to survive the death of the body, that none of us chirpy sparrows is immortal . . ., then there will be a revolution in human thought the like of which none has gone before." Th at prediction is based on contemporary...

Are beliefs in God and in the soul merely relics of pre-scientific superstition? After all, in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries-the so-called "age of science"-we know that science can be proven by its fruits: it's helped us split the atom and put men on the moon. Religious faith, on the other hand, couldn't accomplish these feats. This conflict leaves modern-day Christians challenged by materialist atheists who claim that faith in God has been discredited by modern physics and psychology.

The Divine Sting answers their challenge. Contrary to what most Christians think, belief in...

But before James' insights can once more become available, a barrier to their reception must be removed. What barrier? The...

Unfortunately, Descartes today is more often reviled than revered. Harry Bracken is not far from wrong in claiming...

Frederick R. Bauer captures the essence of William James in "Science, God's Hard Gift." We have all heard the word "pragmatic." It entered our everyday vocabulary as a result of a series of lectures delivered by William James, the greatest of all great American thinkers. He gave those lectures in 1906, four years before his death at age sixty-eight, in 1910. In the first of those lectures, James described the type of person he wanted to reach, a person not unlike a large number of persons today: "He wants facts; he wants science," James said, "but he also wants a religion."

Aus dem Vorwort der Autoren: " bereits in fruheren Auflagen sind uns auch bei dieser Auflage der Motivationscharakter und die Einfachheit der Ausfuhrungen wichtiger als exakte Beweise und technische Freiheiten. Wir glauben, dass die vorliegende Auflage fur den praxisorientierten Studenten, auch ohne groe mathematische Kenntnisse, attraktiver und besser lesbar geworden ist. Dennoch sind wir der Meinung, dass die Theorie der Operations Research nur von der mathematischen Seite her wirklich verstanden und gewurdigt werden kann. Es ist daher auch die funfte Auflage nach wie vor an den gleichen...
