Synopsis Profundity by : Jean Gabbert Harrell

The crisis or &"death&" of philosophy currently identified both within and outside professional circles is commonly attributed to the failure to find universals in metaphysics, epistemology, and, most obviously, in valuational judgment. Profundity concentrates on an assumption uniformly upheld in the theory of value, that all human values are contextually dependent. Harrell contends, to the contrary, that there exists one major value that is universal to humans, regardless of context. That value is profundity, or depth. Considering how &"profundity&" is used in our language leads Harrell to identify two fundamental sensory patterns that are common to all human life at its origin&—an auditory pattern that is first experienced before birth and a visual one that is experienced immediately after birth. From analysis of these patterns as they recur in music and the visual arts, Harrell moves on to discuss their related manifestations in religious doctrine, ceremony, and experience and also in works of literature. Overall her theory entails a radical revamping of the concept of creativity, since no artist can create profundity as a universal value, and provides the first full-scale treatment of profundity in the history of Western philosophy.

Synopsis Profundity by : Sara Alblooshi

This book consists of poems of pure feelings. Some of them talk about the mindset we live in, and some of them talk about the struggles young adults face in our modernized world, whether it's friendships, love, or even societal issues (fitting in). I question a variety of things including our surroundings, some certain views of other people, and some social norms in this book. Nothing personal here, it’s just how I view life. I hope it touches your heart!

Synopsis The Profundity of Humanity by : Dr. İlhami Fındıkçı

The primary aim of our book is to determine, define, and describe the rapid loss of human value at the level of individuals and society, and the humanity that we started to lose in the present day. Our secondary goal is to discuss the basic emotions, thoughts, and behavioral models that will prevail over this depreciation which is against human nature.

Synopsis Gagging on Profundity by : Patrick J. J. Phillips

"Humour of the philosophical pedigree can 'bring us up short', break us out of our commonplace acceptance, our slumber dogmatic, and require us to reassess what we thought we knew, or ask questions about that which had previously lain fallow in our thinking. Humour may awaken the 'sleeping metaphors' that all of us live by...." "The philosopher Sydney Smith (1771 - 1845) identified the salutary effect of humour on the human character ... he comments, 'A man might sit down systematically, and successfully, to the study of wit as he might to the study of mathematics ... by giving up only six hours a day to being witty, he should come on prodigiously before midsummer.'" The book contains over 300 entries from humourists, economists, scientists, psychologists and novelists on topics which include: reality, meaning, language, morality, politics, knowledge and truth. Also: a sampling of conventional philosophical humour from many different countries and traditions....
