Philosophy

James Clarke Lutterworth

In this book, Dr. Gregg deals wit ha fundamental question about humans as communicative beings. He undertakes to synthesize the claims that can be made for affirming that we know because we perceive what is outside our skin symbolically. He explores the support for and the implications of saying that humans belong to a peculiarly symbol-using, symbol-making, and symbol-misusing species. To develop his argument, Gregg draw on anthropological, neurophysiological, psycholinguistic, psychological, literary, and rhetorical theories and findings. Gregg goes beyond simply asserting the existence of symbolic behavior. He studies symbolic behavior as interaction with external environment. In doing so he brings up to date a historic line of argument that has gained new prominence during the last half century. Gregg' position has its contemporary roots in twentieth century philosophy, theory of art, and literary theory. In his quest for understanding what symbolic inducement can mean physiologically, linguistically, socially, and as a basis for criticism of rhetoric, Richard Gregg has produced the most comprehensive exposition that has been offered since the work of Suzanne Langer.

This book is a pioneering work on one of the least understood aspects of ecology―the curious phenomenon by which particular plants thrive in the presence of certain species and do poorly in the company of others. The observation of these relationships stimulates imagination and sensitiveness of observation to other living relationships and thereby opens new doors to further understanding of the world of nature. Every gardener and farmer could benefit from having Companion Plants as a reference guide. This publication represents the work done by Richard Gregg, who used the garden of Evelyn Speiden to conduct certain experiments. A pamphlet resulted, which was published by the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association. This book, originally published in 1966, includes that material. It also includes the work of the late Dr. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, one of the pioneers of biodynamic agriculture, in the fields of sensitive crystallization and chromatography.

Excerpt from The Power of NonviolenceIs nonviolent resistance intellectually and morally respectable or not? If it is at all practical anywhere, to What extent, and why? Is it applicable in the West, or not?It is difficult for one trained in modern Western modes of thought and action to understand this idea or to believe that its practice can be cogent. Even Gandhi's explanations of it fail to carry weight with most of us. His explanations come out of a background of thought.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The idea of non-violence (passive-resistance) has always seemed beautiful but too good to be true. As a practical proposition it arouses scepticism and ridicule. But Mr Gregg is strangely convincing. He marshals the whole weight of contemporary knowledge,and uses the experience of Gandhi,who has employed non-violence methods on a wider scale and with greater success than any other figure in history. Non-violent resistance is the doctrine of absolute pacificism. In theory, it recognizes no use of violence as legitimate in practice it includes all human relations,national and social as well as individual.
