The Dream Wall

A discussion of fundamental philosophical issues that under-pin "new age" and religious thinking. The philosophers' theory of tacit knowledge is explained, and the universe is discussed especially in the context of mystical experience and near-death experiences.

An extensive, bilingual edition of one of the originators of modern free verse, who was a decisive influence on Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. Deeply nihilistic yet full of yearning, tender yet savagely self-mocking, Laforgue has a unique voice and vision that nonetheless mark him out as one of the founding fathers of modernism. Like Charles Baudelaire before him, he was determined to face up to the ugly and decadent as well as the conventionally poetic aspects of himself and the world about him. In a career that rivals Arthur Rimbaud's for its tragically brief, accelerated development, he pioneered the use of coarse colloquialism, startling rhymes, and astonishing invented words. His greatest achievement, the posthumous Derniers Vers (1890), was the first complete French volume of free verse. Partly influenced by his translation of Walt Whitman--the first in the French language--Derniers Vers is brilliantly effective in capturing the truth of fleeting impressions and inner sensations. It is also, writes Graham Dunstan Martin, "one of the musical masterpieces of literature." This bilingual edition features a generous selection of poems in the original French from Laforgue's Le Sanglot de la Terre, Les Complaintes, L'Imitation de Notre-Dame la Lune, Des Fleurs de Bonne Volonte, and Derniers Vers, with running prose translations at the bottom of each page.

Materialists claim that the mind, consciousness, life, evolution, and the universe itself can be explained as a purposeless dance of unconscious particles governed by chance. Does It Matter? asks: does materialism, in fact, make sense? 
Graham Dunstan Martin delves into areas as diverse as quantum physics, cosmology, artificial intelligence, brain science, biology, mysticism, and philosophy to assess the possibilities that the materialists are right. Are we living souls? Is our universe really the result of intelligent design? 
He concludes that computers will never become conscious; that the mind is not the same as the brain; that we geniunely and creatively possess free will; and that our experience of diverse levels of consciousness simply cannot be explained by a strictly materialistic approach to reality. 
This book is for every inquiring mind and for all those who are dissatisfied with the mainstream beliefs of conventional science.
