Drinking deeply from both the arts and the sciences, and then dissolving their boundaries, \u003cem\u003eDiaphany \u003c\/em\u003eweds the vital, experiential dimension of reality to rigorous, source-based research. By embracing the principle of qualitative presence, \u003cem\u003eDiaphany \u003c\/em\u003eseeks to breathe life into the academic \u003cem\u003elogos\u003c\/em\u003e in a way that infuses philosophical gravitas with a sweeping, visionary leaven.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe concept of diaphany is drawn from the work of German poet and\u003cem\u003eKulturphilosoph\u003c\/em\u003e, Jean Gebser. For Gebser, transparency (\u003cem\u003eDurchsichtigkeit\u003c\/em\u003e) is that which renders both darkness and light present. \u003cem\u003eDiaphany\u003c\/em\u003e is designed accordingly as both a \u003cem\u003ejournal\u003c\/em\u003e (from French \u003cem\u003ejour\u003c\/em\u003e, 'day') and a \u003cem\u003enocturne\u003c\/em\u003e--a hymn to the night. Diaphany thus conceived is a matrix not only for the rational structures of consciousness (wakeful \u003cem\u003elogos\u003c\/em\u003e and light) but also for the pre-rational structures of consciousness (myth, dream, darkness). In synthesising Enlightenment as well as \u003cem\u003eRomantik\u003c\/em\u003e streams of culture, \u003cem\u003eDiaphany \u003c\/em\u003eseeks to render both sides of the human experience more integrally present.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile strictly peer-reviewed, and while upholding the highest standards of academic research--including an unwavering fidelity to source materials--\u003cem\u003eDiaphany\u003c\/em\u003e is not a conventional academic journal. That is, \u003cem\u003eDiaphany\u003c\/em\u003e is not interested in so-called 'objective', 'dispassionate', or 'impersonal' inquiry for its own sake. Rather, \u003cem\u003eDiaphany\u003c\/em\u003e seeks philosophers tempered in the fires of genuine wisdom rather than mere information; scientists whose work emerges as much from a fervent, personal quest as it does from the perception of inexorable, impersonal realities; and artists of \u003cem\u003epoēsis\u003c\/em\u003e and presence who make the invisible visible and the eternal tangible according to a Kandinskian 'inner necessity' (\u003cem\u003einnere Notwendigkeit\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 270\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 13, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457879556349,"sku":"9781943710010","price":57.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/NGxBTnFmZUJ6c0lDdVYwQ0tWWWxEQT09.webp?v=1777248683","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/diaphany-a-journal-and-nocturne-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
