45
 
 
"The Sea Wolf" by Jack London [UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK WITH TEXT]"The Sea Wolf" is a fascinating story of the gentleman Humphrey van Weyden, who got shipwrecked and gets picked up by the sealing-schooner "Ghost". Here he is confronted with the sadistic philosophy and violent action of the highly intelligent Wolf Larson.
"The Sea Wolf" is one of the most impressive documents of American naturalism, and probably the most famous adventure-story in the world.

Philosophers Past and Present - Selected EssaysPhilosophers Past and Present - Selected Essays

This volume of uncollected essays by Barry Stroud explores central issues and ideas in the work of individual philosophers, ranging from Descartes, Berkeley, Locke, and Hume to Quine, Burge, McDowell, Goldman, Fogelin, and Sosa in our own day. Seven of the essays focus on David Hume, and examine the sources and implications of his "naturalism" and his "scepticism." Three others deal with the legacy of that "naturalism" in the twentieth century. In each case Stroud moves beyond providing a description of historical contexts and developments, and confronts the philosophical issues as they present themselves to the philosophers in question.

Emerson's Nonlinear NatureEmerson's Nonlinear Nature

In this provocative study, Christopher Windolph analyzes Emersonian naturalism from the standpoint of nonlinearity, offering new ways of reading and thinking about Emerson's stance toward naturalism and the influence of science on his thought. Drawing on ideas in perspective theory, architecture, and nonlinear dynamics to argue that Emerson's natural philosophy follows from his analysis of the development of organic forms, Windolph breaks new ground in Emerson studies by exploring how considerations of shape and the act of seeing underpin all of Emerson's theories about nature.
