Together with the Fishman Triple Play Wireless Guitar Controller (not included) each of the 72 instruments can be triggered and played via electric guitar. The controller recognizes playing modes such as vibrato and sends the corresponding modulations/ Expression -commands. The samples are also those of the well-known Ghostwriter, Goliath and The Dark Side Libraries of East West. Reprogrammed and optimized for the Fishman controller, various pads, FX, dulcimer, synth strings and many other instruments can be played in real time in 44.1 kHz/16 bit format.

This book discusses a variety of important but unprecedented ways in which psychology can be useful to philosophy. The early chapters illustrate this theme via comparisons between Chinese and Western philosophy. It is argued that the Chinese notion of a heart-mind is superior to the Western concept of mind, but then, more even-handedly, the relative strengths and weaknesses of Chinese and Western thought overall are critically examined. In later chapters, the philosophical uses of psychology are treated more specifically in relation to major issues in Western philosophy.

“The authors offer background materials and theoretical discussions focusing on a trilogy of films about trauma, gender violence, and stigmatization. The films are heart-breaking, emotionally compelling, and beautifully presented, and this book provides crucial linkages to controversies about visual anthropology, cross-cultural psychiatry, and the representation of state and domestic violence.”
