Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6
According to acquired needs theory, there are three kinds of people: those who seek power, those who seek adulation, and those who seek accomplishment. All people desire all three, but in any given person one of these desires predominates. The identity of the dominant desire is fixed by one's innate psychological constitution, but the exact manner in which one goes about fulfilling this desire is determined by experience.

Story5 out of 5 stars 3
One of the key difficulties with specifying and defending an absolute beginning point of the space-time continuum is that the beginning has to be located either within the structure of space-time itself, in which sense it is not a total or absolute beginning, or the beginning must be located outside of space-time itself in which case the word "beginning" is meaningless since without time there can be no "beginning".

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
Plagued by a recurring nightmare, you decide to get away for a few days and book a room at a reasonably priced motel. Upon arrival, the motel appears very old but well-kept. Although you are still haunted by the same recurring dream, the motel seems nice enough. The staff at the motel seems strange but nonetheless pleasant, the bed is comfortable, and you have a large screen television with almost anything you can think to watch. However, it isn't long before you learn that this motel has a secret - a secret that leaves you in a situation of life or death.

Story5 out of 5 stars 4
The basic tenet of attachment theory is that a person's emotional attachments influence the ways in which the individual deals with problematic situations. And the way one deals with problematic situations influences the person's relations with others. This book explains what attachment theory is and how mental illness in adults, including relationship problems, can be explained in terms of it.

It is made clear what knowledge is and how we acquire it. It is also explained how we can have knowledge of the future, the past, the possible, the imperceptible, and the non-existent. The Gettier problem is solved, and it is proved that we have a prior knowledge, as well as knowledge of non-trivial but purely analytic truths.

Scholars and laymen generally assume that emotions are not judgments - that whereas judgments are expressions of rationality, emotions are expressions of irrationality. In this concise volume, it is shown that emotions are in fact judgments, with the qualification that emotions are hewed to egocentric frame of reference, whereas garden-variety judgments are hewed to a non-egocentric frame of reference.

Philosophy professors, like most professors, are repeating the same cliches over and over again. They are not growing. They are not doing anything. For this reason, they need their students to be incompetent, since, were those students just slightly quicker to understand what these professors were saying, they would quickly see that the latter were not saying, or doing, anything at all.
