paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. DETAILS: sewn PAPERBACK, attractive copy, near fine, with slight wear to corners. SHAH, E. The way of the Sufi. London: Octagon Press, 2004, 287pp., . First published in 1968. - "The Way of the Sufi presents an unparalleled cross-section of material from Sufi schools, teachings and classical writings, as a basic course of Sufi study. Its author, Idries Shah, is regarded as the most influential modern exponent of Sufi ideas. His many books on the subject seek to make some of the Eastern world's greatest teachings accessible to a Western audience. In this book, Shah begins with the outward aspects of the teaching most likely to puzzle the student coming fresh to the subject. He considers various attitudes to Sufi ideas, and evidence of their absorption into medieval Christianity, Hinduism, Jewish mysticism and modern philosophical teachings. The greater part of the book illuminates aspects of Sufi activity and practice relevant to the contemporary world.". 9780863040832 ISBN 0863040837. …

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. DETAILS: very good used gray hardcover with small tear at bottom of spine and some splotches and stains on covers, strong sewn binding ready for reading. SHAH, IDRIES. Knowing how to know: a practical philosophy in the Sufi tradition. London: The Octagon Press, 1998, xiii, 343pp., . Contemporary esoteric systems almost invariably play on the desire of mankind to seek or acquire knowledge. Almost universally neglected in such systems are the -- often unrecognised -- barriers which prevent knowledge and understanding. Before learning can take place, certain conditions and basic factors must be in place; in the individual or the group. Building on the foundations laid in Learning how to Learn and The Commanding Self, Idries Shah in Knowing how to Know illuminates those factors. Like an ultra-violet light shone onto the petals of flowers, it reveals concealed patterns, normally invisible to our customary modes of thought. 9780863040726 ISBN 0863040721. …

FIELD, NATHAN. Breakdown and breakthrough : psychotherapy in a new dimension : COPY WITH MARKINGS. London ; New York: Routledge, 1996, 157pp., . Breakdown and Breakthrough examines the essential role of regression in the patient's recovery from mental illness. In light of this Nathan Field reassesses the role of the therapist tracing psychotherapy back to its earliest spiritual roots and comparing modern analytic methods with ancient practices of healing and exorcism. The author uses vivid examples from his psychotherapeutic practice to show how, with the apparent breakdown of the therapeutic method itself, patients can break through to a new level of functioning. The book goes on to consider how psychotherapy has been affected by fundamental developments in twentieth century science, such as the move from old, classical assumptions of linear causation to non-linear complexity from reductionism to a holistic systems approach and from mental mechanisms to acknowledging the mysteries of unconscious interaction. Taking up the radical vision originally proposed by Carl Jung and later fostered by eminent psychotherapists such as Winnicott and Bion, the author shows how psychotherapy can be reframed to admit the existence of a psychological fourth dimension. Nathan Field reappraises ideas of health and pathology, psychoanalysis and healing, sex and spirituality in light of a dramatic shift in the way we understand ourselves. How this shift alters the shape of psychotherapy in the twenty-first century is the challenge the practitioners, teachers and trainees must all address. ISBN 0415109582.…

paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. PAPERBACK, attractive copy, near fine and appears little used if at all. DANTO, ARTHUR C. Art and posthistory: conversations on the end of aesthetics. Arthur C. Danto and Demetrio Paparoni ; foreword by Barry Schwabsky. New York: Columbia University Press, 2022, lxvi, 110pp., . Series: Columbia themes in philosophy, social criticism, and the arts "From 1995 until just before his death, Arthur C. Danto engaged in and recorded frequent conversations with prominent Italian philosopher and art critic Demetrio Paparoni. Their talks ranged widely over topics from American Pop Art to Minimalism, from abstraction to appropriationism, from posthistorical art to the end of aesthetics, revealing the central core of Danto's thought on topics that shaped and continue to shape questions about the meaning and future of contemporary art. The text is very rich: in one paragraph, for example, Danto talks about a Franz Kline exhibition in the context of Richard Diebenkorn, the radically different techniques used for the paintings and drawings, and the mechanical processes Kline used that enlisted the participation of an animator or colorist as indicative of the lack of importance he gave to the idea of individual artist as creator. The book reveals the intellectual excitement of Danto in person, speculating in a freewheeling rather than analytical style. On several occasions Danto and Paparoni were joined by Danto's partner Barbara Westman, an artist and illustrator credited with many New Yorker covers, and by artist Mimmo Paladino and philosopher Mario Perniola, enlivening the discussion further" - CONTENTS: In Judy's Bedroom -- 1.
