Nancy J. Holland turns to the thought of Martin Heidegger to help understand an age-old philosophical question: Is there a split between the body and the mind? Arguing against philosophical positions that define human consciousness as an overarching phenomenon or reduce it to the brain or physicality, Holland contends that consciousness is relational and it is this relationship that allows us to inhabit and negotiate in the world. Holland forwards a complex and nuanced reading of Heidegger as she focuses on consciousness, being, and what might constitute the animal or, more broadly, other-than-human world. Holland engages with the depth and breadth of Heidegger's work as she opens space for a discussion about the uniqueness of human consciousness.

Explores ontological  humility in the history of philosophy, from Descartes to contemporary gender  and race theory.Neither self-effacing modesty nor  religious meekness, ontological humility is a moral and philosophical attitude  toward transcendence—the unknown and unknowable background of existence—and a  recognition and awareness of the contingency and chance that influence the  course of our lives. It is a concept that Nancy J. Holland finds both  throughout the history of philosophy and across the volumes of J. K. Rowling’s Harry  Potter series. Tracing it through the philosophical thought of figures ranging  from Descartes, Hume, and Kant to Heidegger, Beauvoir, Merleau-Ponty, and  Derrida, Holland uses the Harry Potter saga as a guide to illustrate the  concept, revealing a whole set of ethical imperatives. Connecting the concept  to contemporary gender and race theory, she demonstrates its implications both  for our understanding of th

Since 1998, when Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) first published Multiple Sclerosis: A Guide to Wellness, great strides have been made in research findings and treatment options. For this reason, PVA is proud to present this newly updated edition of the ''MS Wellness Guide,'' as it has come to be called. Edited by Nancy J. Holland, RN, EdD, MSCN and June Halper, MSCN, ANP, FAAN, this second edition has been expanded to include new chapters on the promise of research, disease management, general health issues, managing financial resources, health insurance options, and community living options. Each of the other chapters has been updated and revised to reflect advances in the field and changing management strategies. The table of contents has been reorganized to facilitate finding information of special interest to the reader, and the appendix on ''Helpful Resources'' has been greatly expanded. The new edition continues to focus on staying well in the presence of MS. Wellness is a concept that does not normally come to mind when we think about a disease. We usually think of diseases in terms of curable or incurable. But MS is a disease that - while incurable - can be managed and yields to many treatments and therapies. Although not cures, they can provide the patient with a great deal of control over his or her experience of well-being. This book covers a broad spectrum of topics related to MS and its effects, focusing especially on the needs of those who have been living with the disease for some time. Practical tips on self-care are designed to promote maximum independence, well-being, and productivity. The objective is to emphasize that wellness can be achieved with knowledge and commitment. PVA has been pleased to partner with Demos Medical Publishing in updating and producing this new edition. We are proud to see it take its place among the other books in the Demos catalog of reliable, practical guides on living with multiple sclerosis.
