It's responsible for bringing groups of people together and pulling them apart, making certain goals attractive to some and not to others, and fueling cycles of anxiety and conflict. In \u003ci\u003eWanting\u003c\/i\u003e, Luke Burgis draws on the work of French polymath René Girard to bring this hidden force to light and reveals how it shapes our lives and societies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccording to Girard, humans don't desire anything independently. Human desire is \u003ci\u003emimetic\u003c\/i\u003e--we imitate what other people want. This affects the way we choose partners, friends, careers, clothes, and vacation destinations. Mimetic desire is responsible for the formation of our very identities. It explains the enduring relevancy of Shakespeare's plays, why Peter Thiel decided to be the first investor in Facebook, and why our world is growing more divided as it becomes more connected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWanting\u003c\/i\u003e also shows that conflict does not arise because of our differences--it comes from our sameness. Because we learn to want what other people want, we often end up competing for the same things. Ignoring our large similarities, we cling to our perceived differences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on his experience as an entrepreneur, teacher, and student of classical philosophy and theology, Burgis shares tactics that help turn blind wanting into intentional wanting--not by trying to rid ourselves of desire, but by desiring differently. It's possible to be more in control of the things we want, to achieve more independence from trends and bubbles, and to find more meaning in our work and lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe future will be shaped by our desires. \u003ci\u003eWanting\u003c\/i\u003e shows us how to desire a better one.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLUKE BURGIS has founded and led multiple companies.

Your Word is Your Wand, published in 1928 and The Secret Door to Success in 1940 furthered her explanations of the understanding of God and man. The Power of the Spoken Word is a compendium of her notes and released posthumously in 1945. Her philosophy centers on the power of positive thought and usually includes instructions for verbal or physical affirmation.

Kahn\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind the superficial obscurity of what fragments we have of Heraclitus' thought, Professor Kahn claims that it is possible to detect a systematic view of human existence, a theory of language which sees ambiguity as a device for the expression of multiple meaning, and a vision of human life and death within the larger order of nature. The fragments are presented here in a readable order; translation and commentary aim to make accessible the power and originality of a systematic thinker and a great master of artistic prose. The commentary locates Heraclitus within the tradition of early Greek thought, but stresses the importance of his ideas for topical theories of language, literature and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind the superficial obscurity of what fragments we have of Heraclitus' thought, Professor Kahn claims that it is possible to detect a systematic view of human existence, a theory of language which sees a ambiguity as a device for the expression of multiple meaning, and a vision of human life and death within the larger order of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 9.14 x 6.12 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 03, 1981\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62442031743346,"sku":"9780521286459","price":78.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4762\/6354\/files\/psNParzBaQ9780521286459.webp?v=1791058298"},{"product_id":"foundations-of-black-epistemology-knowledge-discourse-in-africana-philosophy-hardcover","title":"Foundations of Black Epistemology: Knowledge Discourse in Africana Philosophy - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAdebayo Oluwayomi\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFoundations of Black Epistemology\u003c\/i\u003e is Adebayo Oluwayomi's bold endeavor to delineate Black epistemology as a new sub-disciplinary focus in contemporary Africana or Black philosophy.
