Philosophical questions about the mind preoccupied much of Wittgenstein's later writing, and his contribution to them is deep and wide-ranging, bearing upon philosophical issues concerning sense-experience, concept formation, perception, introspection, the science of psychology, aspect perception, the self, the understanding of rules, the relation between mind and brain, artificial intelligence, and many other subjects of current concern. According to a growing number of eminent philosophers, however, many of Wittgenstein's most important insights still have not been properly absorbed by contemporary philosophical debates on these topics. In anything, work on these subjects is less informed by Wittgenstein's examples and discussions than ever before. In this volume, philosophers from inside and outside of Wittgensteinian circles explore Wittgenstein's treatment of philosophcial questions about the mind and issues in contemporary philosophy of mind upon which Wittgenstein'sphilosophy may have significance. Bringing to bear their broad range of perspectives on his philosophy, these philosophers collectively demonstrate its fundamental import for present-day philosophy of mind.
Mexico is an enchanting land full of many secrets. Some wonderful to behold, and some best kept secret. Deep in the heart of the Yuctan, in a steamy, forgotten jungle, lies one. In 1962, the Mexican government conducted clandestine operations to test an herbicide designed to compete with agent orange, the American military's' herbicide of choice. It was staged over a long abandoned eco-attraction called Yucatanland. It was a failure, in that it didn't kill the plants, but mutated the animals. One, in particular, rose to the top of the food chain. A horrible manifestation of the ancient Mexican God, Quetzalcoatl. In Southern California, a young couple named Midas and Kelly Soloman, he a lawyer, and she a teacher, decided that they needed a vacation. Somewhere close, not too expensive, but interesting none the less. Midas always had an interest in history, so they decided to travel to Mexico to relax and soak up some local culture. Little did they know, their travels would be more adventurous than they could imagine. Join Midas and Kelly as they race for their lives against impossible odds; the Mexican military wants to kill them, Narcoterroristas try to kidnap them, and an incredible evil pursues them all in its' own backyard.
The concept of unity between God and humanity is explored, emphasizing that there is no separation between the divine and the individual. This perspective invites readers to understand their inherent connection to God, suggesting that rather than seeking to join two distinct entities, one should recognize the already existing oneness. The message encourages a deeper reflection on spirituality and personal identity in relation to the divine.
