Running out of storyBy Michael BattagliaBack in the day, Virgin had quite the line of Doctor Who books out. Not all of them were winners and some were rather mediocre (none were super-bad but I read some that came close) but it was nice to have someone publishing Who books on a more or less regular basis. And then, apparently out of nowhere, the BBC decided that they could do a better job and yanked the license away from Virgin, ending both the Missing Adventures line (which this particular book was part of) and the Seventh Doctor focused New Adventures line. You think that none of this is relevant? Well, I'm not finished yet. The last of the Missing Adventures features the fourth Doctor, Romana (the second one, played by Lalla Ward) and the ever-cheerful K-9. Still running from the Black Guardian (don't ask) they wind up on a planet near the end of Time and quickly get wrapped up in events.

    The Religion of The Chinese de Groot, J. J. M. Published: 1910 Categorie(s): Non-Fiction, Religion, Buddhism, Oriental reli- gions and wisdom , Confucianism, Taoism, History of Religions Source: The Internet Archive http://archive.org/details/ religionofchines00groouoft 1 About de Groot: Jan Jakob Maria de Groot (18 February 1854, Schiedam - 24 September 1921, Berlin) was a Dutch Sinologist and historian of religion. He taught at Leiden and later in Berlin, and is chiefly remembered for his monumental work, The Religious System of China, Its Ancient Forms, Evolution, History and Present Aspect, Manners, Customs and Social Institutions Con- nected Therewith. The two "books" of this detailed and well-il- lustrated treatise appeared in six volumes — and, according to the preface in the first volume, the System was originally meant to include several more "books". Like many then and since, he thought that one spiritual essence could be detected beneath a great variety of religious, philosophical, and even political expressions in China, and his lifework was the discov- ery and exposition of that essence. At the end of the 19th cen- tury, he and Schlegel were the chief ornaments of Sinology at Leiden. de Groot in 1902 moved to Berlin.

Yet, as I argue, this world-colonizing force is not neutral. The anticipatory projection and world-building characteristic of scientific theorization are grounded in a practical comportment, so that the essence of technology or Craft is ontologically prior to theoretical science. In other words, science is always already Technoscience.

Inmaculada Gordillo Álvarez Firma con el visto bueno del tutor | Agradecimientos | La elaboración de este estudio no habría sido posible sin el apoyo de aquellos que me han ayudado a sacarlo adelante, bien con consejos o correcciones, bien con paciencia; pero sobre todo, con la ayuda desinteresada y la confianza que en más de una ocasión ha sido necesaria. Estoy en deuda con Juanma Asencio, mi “portavoz” en la Universidad de Sevilla mientras estaba de intercambio SICUE en la Pompeu Fabra, y quien ha hecho posible la entrega de este documento, entre otros quebraderos de cabeza que le habré causado. Gracias también a Rafa Cabeza, siempre dispuesto a escuchar mis problemas y a darles una solución optimista. Que el triángulo Draper-Olson-Holloway sea infinito donde la serie no pudo serlo. También en deuda con Sofia Izquierdo, cuyo inmenso conocimiento sobre Doctor Who ha sido clave para este trabajo. Agradecerle además sus lecturas desinteresadas y su apoyo en todo momento. Gracias a Raquel Crisóstomo por confiar en mi trabajo incondicionalmente, así como por las charlas tan enriquecedoras en las que las dudas no lo eran tanto; a Cristina Aguilera por estar ahí siempre, apostando por un trabajo que uno mismo olvida valorar; a Manu Montes por ser el apoyo moral que todo SICUE necesita, ese hombro virtual en el que apoyarse (o físico, después de muchas horas de Valencia en Fallas); a Carlos Scolari, por sus pequeñas masterclass ante cualquier duda; y a Alba Rosillo, por sus consejos y ayuda con el diseño gráfico de la presentación.

  • Theosophical Siftings the Higher Science Vol 1, No 11 the Higher Science
    Theosophical Siftings The Higher Science Vol 1, No 11 The Higher Science by William Kingsland Reprinted from “Theosophical Siftings” Volume 1 1889 The Theosophical Publishing Society, England [Page 1] SCIENCE, in the general acceptation of the term, deals with the phenomena of nature, with the laws which govern the material world as that is discovered to our physical senses; and she is generally accused, not without some reason, of being materialistic and atheistic, sceptical and agnostic, inasmuch as she does not recognise any power behind or superior to matter and force, the term spirit is to her an unknown and undeterminable quantity; it may exist outside of matter and force, but it is not a factor in those quantities. Religion, as commonly understood, is divorced from science. Every religion professes to teach, in a more or less practical manner, the way in which its individual devotees may attain to an ideal state of bliss, but all the rest of mankind, who reject its specific dogmas, are consigned to a state of everlasting misery. Religion looks upon Science with great concern, because Science is quite indifferent to its teachings, and threatens to make the majority of thinking men agnostic; and Science, on the other hand, is continually at war with those ideas of supernaturalism to which Religion so fondly clings. There exists, however, a Higher Science, which is also Religion in its truest sense, and which deals with the hidden forces in nature at which Physical Science stops short, but which are more than suspected by the majority of mankind, because every form of Religion whatsoever is an acknowledgment of a something, which underlies, and is superior to, the phenomena of Nature.
