Good humor, bad taste : a sociology of the joke

This book is the first extensive sociological study of the relationship between humor and social background. Using a combination of interview materials, survey data, and historical materials, it explores the relationship between humor and gender, age, social class, and national differences in the Netherlands and the United States. The exploration of social differences in sense of humor starts off from one specific, and not very prestigious, humorous genre: the joke. Good Humor, Bad Taste explains why jokes are good humor to some, bad taste to others

Jokes and targets

Jokes and Targets takes up an appealing and entertaining topic—the social and historical origins of jokes about familiar targets such as rustics, Jewish spouses, used car salesmen, and dumb blondes. Christie Davies explains why political jokes flourished in the Soviet Union, why Europeans tell jokes about American lawyers but not about their own lawyers, and why sex jokes often refer to France rather than to other countries. One of the world’s leading experts on the study of humor, Davies provides a wide-ranging and detailed study of the jokes that make up an important part of everyday conversation.

The God Who Is Beauty: Beauty as a Divine Name in Thomas Aquinas and Dionysius the Areopagite

When in the sixth century Dionysius the Areopagite declared beauty to be a name for God, he gave birth to something that had long been gestating in the womb of philosophical and theological thought. In doing so, Dionysius makes one of his most pivotal contributions to Christian theological discourse. It is a contribution that is enthusiastically received by the schoolmen of the Middle Ages, and it comes to permeate the thought of scholasticism in a multitude of ways. But perhaps nowhere is the Dionysian influence more pronounced than in the thought of Thomas Aquinas. This book examines both the historical development of beauty's appropriation as a name for God in Dionysius and Thomas, and the various contours of what it means. The argument that emerges from this study is that given the impact that the divine name theological tradition has within the development of Christian theological discourse, beauty as a divine name indicates the way in which beauty is most fundamentally conceived in the Christian theological tradition as a theological theme. As a phenomenon of inquiry, beauty proves itself to be enigmatic and elusive to even the sharpest intellects in the Greek philosophical tradition. When it is absorbed within the Christian theological synthesis, however, its enigmatic content proves to be a powerful resource for theological reasoning.

Aesthetics: Volume I

Dietrich von Hildebrand understood the centrality of beauty not merely to art but to philosophy, theology, and ethics. In his ambitious and comprehensive Aesthetics, now translated into English for the first time, Hildebrand rehabilitates the concept of beauty as an objective rather and purely subjective phenomenon. His systematic account renews the Classical and Christian vision of beauty as a reliable mode of perception that leads humanity toward the true, the good, and ultimately the divine. There is no more important issue in our culture—sacred or secular—than the restoration of beauty. And there is no better place to start this urgent enterprise than Dietrich von Hildebrand's Aesthetics. - Dana Gioia | From the Foreword **

The Complete God Series 1-32

From Book 1: This is the introductory text of a series of thirty-two books called "the God Series" in which the most ancient secret society in the world – the Pythagorean Illuminati – reveal, for the first time in the public domain, the "answer to everything".

Read the God Series and you will become a convert to the world's only rational religion – Illuminism, the Pythagorean religion of mathematics that infallibly explains all things and guarantees everyone a soul that is not only eternal but also has the capacity to make each of us a true God.

Logician Kurt Gödel's religion of fourteen rational, logical points is entirely compatible with ontological mathematical Illuminism. Gödel said that the world is rational and materialism is false. He wrote, “I don't believe in empirical science. I only believe in a priori truth.”

Zero is the number of the soul, and the soul has infinite capacity (only zero can contain infinity). Being dimensionless – a mathematical point, an immaterial singularity – the soul is outside the dimensional, material domain of space and time, hence the soul is indestructible, eternal and cannot be detected by any scientific experiment. It is unextended, as required by Descartes’ famous definition of the mind (res cogitans: thinking substance). A soul is an autonomous frequency domain, and it generates space and time via ontological Fourier mathematics, the definitive solution to Cartesian dualism (i.e. unextended mind produces extended matter via basic mathematical operations relating the unextended frequency domain to the extended spacetime domain).

Isn't it time to join the rational and logical? Isn't it time to be Illuminated?

Boolean Algebra and Its Applications

 

Boolean Algebra and Its Applications (Dover Books on Computer Science)

This introduction to Boolean algebra explores the subject on a level accessible even to those with a modest background in mathematics. The first chapter presents the algebra of sets from an intuitive point of view, followed by a formal presentation in chapter two of Boolean algebra as an abstract algebraic system, with no reference to applications.

Succeeding chapters offer concise accounts of applications to symbolic logic, focusing on topics of logic common to elementary mathematics and discussing concepts of valid argument and indirect proofs. Additional topics include the algebra of circuits — switching, relay, and computer — as well as the application of the algebra of sets to probability theory. Problems appear throughout the text, with answers to selected problems at the end of the book. Geared toward students of mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering, this text can be appreciated by anyone who understands college-level mathematics. It will prove particularly valuable to philosophy students and others wishing to study symbolic logic and its applications to computer science.

Linux: This Book Includes 4 Manuscripts. The Underground Bible to the UNIX Operating System with Tools On Security and Kali Hacking to Understand Computer Programming, Data Science and Command Line

This Book Includes:


Linux for Beginners
Linux for Hackers
Hacking with Linux
Hacking with Kali Linux


Linux is a free and freely distributed operating system inspired by the UNIX system, written by Linus Torvalds with the help of thousands of programmers.



Unlike other operating systems, such as MacOS (Apple operating system), UNIX is not intended to be easy to use, but to be extremely flexible. It is generally as easy to use as other operating systems, although great efforts are being made to facilitate its use.



This operating system is an option to be taken into account by those users who are dedicated to work through networks, devote to programming, or learn hacking techniques.
