The meanings of life cannot be sought independent of the state of reality, thus we have to first determine the state of reality. Such is the basis put forward by Manickam Nambi in his eye-opening book The End of Knowledge: A Reduction of Philosophy.All independent inquiries into the question of one have revealed the two. Western philosophy arrived at matter and thought. Indian philosophy arrived at the manifest and unmanifest. The Chinese arrived at Ying and Yang. The scientific inquiry revealed time and space. The two categories coexist by immutable laws.The human brain is the advanced component of reality and is ordered to the reality it is programmed to recognize. The functioning of the brain is ordered to the alternating time and space instants that constitute objective reality.Science is limited by experimentation. Time is a nonphysical component of reality and therefore beyond the scope of science. The unraveling of time holds the key. Science was beguiled by duration, which was mistaken to be time and misunderstood reality. Theologians created a smokescreen called faith, beguiling themselves and mankind. They have misunderstood the mind of the Creator. When the various camouflages of nature are unraveled, we realize that such a Cosmos cannot come of itself, but has to be the outcome of deliberate superior intelligence.Manickam Nambi lives in Madurai, India. "I am motivated to write this book on three counts. I want to justify my existence. I want peace among warring mankind. I want in my own humble way to establish the promised kingdom."http: //SBPRA.com/ManickamNambi

Reissuing five works originally published between 1937 and 1991, this collection contains books addressing the subject of time, from a mostly philosophic point of view but also of interest to those in the science and mathematics worlds. These texts are brought back into print in this small set of works addressing how we think about time, the history of the philosophy of time, the measurement of time, theories of relativity and discussions of the wider thinking about time and space, among other aspects. One volume is a thorough bibliography collating references on the subject of time across many disciplines.

Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously. Adriane Rini and Max Cresswell exhibit, in an easy step-by-step manner, the logical structure of temporal and modal discourse, and show that every temporal construction has an exact parallel that requires a language that can refer to worlds, and vice versa. They make precise, in a way which can be articulated and tested, the claim that the parallel is at work behind even ordinary talk about time and modality. The book gives metaphysicians a sturdy framework for the investigation of time and modality - one that does not presuppose any particular metaphysical view.

This book brings together, in a novel way, an account of the structure of time with an account of our language and thought about time. Joshua Mozersky argues that it is possible to reconcile the human experience of time, which is centred on the present, with the objective conception of time, according to which all moments are intrinsically alike. He defends a temporally centreless ontology along with a tenseless semantics that is compatible with - and indeed helps to explain the need for - tensed language and thought. This theory of time also, it is argued, helps to elucidate the nature of change and temporal passage, neither of which need be denied nor relegated to the realm of subjective experience only. The book addresses a variety of topics including whether the past and future are real; whether temporal passage is a genuine phenomenon or merely a subjective illusion; how the asymmetry of time is to be understood; the nature of representation; how something can change its properties yet retain its identity; and whether objects are three-dimensional or four-dimensional. It is a wide-ranging examination of recent issues in metaphysics, philosophy of language and the philosophy of science and presents a compelling picture of the relationship of human beings to the spatiotemporal world.

Until about the middle of this century philosophers and scientists commonly held that science showed an accumulation of a body of objective knowledge. This view has been very widely challenged over recent years; but in this study Dr Jardine offers a defence.The discussion involves consideration of many controversial issues concerning truth in science, interpretation of past theories, and grounds of scientific method. The author writes with a careful appreciation of the complexities involved and argues for a distinctive point of view with skill andclarity.
