Knowing

The pentatonic kignit modes that make up most Ethiopian music are sonically unique to that country, but thanks to Mulatu Astatke, the father of the genre, Ethio-jazz was a hybrid from the jump. Studying at Berklee College of Music in the 1960’s, Astatke was drawn to the shimmering tones of the vibraphone from modern jazz and the kinetic conga drums of Latin music.

• Explores the energetic flow, intuitive knowing, and sustained state of grounded centeredness that occur for a healer during the process of healing
• Reveals how healing transforms the healer and how that transformation may elicit more profound and radical healing results

This collected volume is inspired by the work of Edward Halper and is historically focused with contributions from leading scholars in Ancient and Medieval philosophy. Though its chapters cover a diverse range of topics in epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy, the collection is unified by the contributors’ consideration of these topics in terms of the fundamental questions of metaphysics. The first section of the volume, “Knowing and Being,” is dedicated to the connection between metaphysics and epistemology and includes chapters on Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, and the Ancient Daoists. The second section, “Goodness as Knowing How to Be,” addresses ethics as an outgrowth of human metaphysical concerns and includes chapters on Plato, Aristotle, and Maimonides.
