"World hypotheses" correspond to metaphysical systems, and they may be systematically judged by the canons of evidence and corroboration.In setting forth his root-metaphor theory and examining six such hypotheses―animism, mysticism, formism, mechanism, contextualism, and organicism―Pepper surveys the whole field of metaphysics. Because this book is an analytical study, it stresses issues rather than men. It seeks to exhibit the sources of these issues and to show that some are unnecessary; that the rest gather into clusters and are interconnected in systems corresponding closely to the traditional schools of philosophy. The virtue of the root-metaphor method is that it puts metaphysics on a purely factual basis and pushes philosophical issues back to the interpretation of evidence.This book was written primarily as a contribution to the field, but its plan excellently suits it for use as a text in courses in metaphysics, types of philosophical theory, or present tendencies in philosophy.

Before Schliemann began his archaeological investigations at Hissarlik in 1870, many scholars believed that Troy was a mere figment of Homer's imagination. The story of the Trojan War, as it was described in the Iliad and the Odyssey, lacked corroboration from reliable historical sources, and the ancient city's geographical position had never been determined. Excavating entirely at his own expense, Schliemann discovered multiple cities built one above the other after periodic destruction by earthquake, fire, or war. The golden treasure he found there dazzled the world and led to an understanding of the historical period now known as the Bronze Age. The present volume is Schliemann's own account of his discoveries at Troy, including a brief but fascinating autobiographical sketch. It also contains his reply to critics of his decision to deceive the Turkish authorities, smuggling his discoveries to safety in the west. He defends his actions on the grounds that these objects belong in museums, not in the black market of international antiquities-their probable fate had they remained in Turkey. Readers of this book may also be interested in Tree of Life, Mythical Archetype, by Gregory Haynes, also published by Symbolon Press. That volume contains a Foreword by Michael Witzel, PhD, Wales chair of Sanskrit at Harvard University. Haynes presents persuasive evidence that the symbols found by Schliemann at Troy represent elements of the ancient Tree of Life cult, which is known to have been worshipped widely in antiquity. This is a facsimile edition of the 1875 original. It excludes the tedious and now out-of-date preface by Philip Smith, but presents the entirety of Schliemann's text.

Dive into the ancient history of Egypt. Explore the extraordinary pyramids and artifacts of this ancient civilization from a biblical worldview with archaeologists Dr. John Ashton and David Down. Ashton and Down do not disappoint as they dare to reveal the remarkable corroboration between the Old Testament Bible records and Egypt's historical documents and archaeological finds. Using historically confirmed dates in later Egyptian history and the years between events recorded in the Bible, Ashton and Down construct a timeline of the kings of Egypt which dates back to just two centuries before the biblical dating of Noah's flood. Abraham, Joseph, Moses and Jesus each spent part of their lives in Egypt. In recent years, however, liberal teachers and professors have used the traditional Egyptian chronology to undermine the truth of the biblical record found in the Old Testament book of Exodus. Unwrapping the Pharaohs takes you back in time to study famous Egyptians, their dynasties and structures such as: Tutankhamen, the boy-king Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh Cleopatra Seneferu, the world's greatest pyramid builder Pharaohs of the Bible The Great Sphinx of Giza The Lost Pyramid on the Saqqara Plateau And many more intriguing people and places Both Christian believers and skeptics will find this well documented and beautifully illustrated research fascinating. Bonus Content: Packaged with this excellent educational resource for those enthralled by history, archaeology and the Bible, is a 90-minute DVD offering a breathtaking journey through the pyramids and temples of Egypt with author and archaeologist David Down.

After an inquiry into the communicative functions and the language of geoscience, the process of research is analyzed. In the second part, the logic of conclusive reasoning, the testing, corroboration, and refution of theories and the progress of geoscientific knowledge are discussed in relation to current philosophical approaches.

While the individual elements of the propaganda system (or filters) identified by the Propaganda Model (PM) – ownership, advertising, sources, flak and anti-communism – have previously been the focus of much scholarly attention, their systematisation in a model, empirical corroboration and historicisation have made the PM a useful tool for media analysis across cultural and geographical boundaries.Despite the wealth of scholarly research Herman and Chomsky’s work has set into motion over the past decades, the PM has been subjected to marginalisation, poorly informed critiques and misrepresentations. Interestingly, while the PM enables researchers to form discerning predictions as regards corporate media performance, Herman and Chomsky had further predicted that the PM itself would meet with such marginalisation and contempt.In current theoretical and empirical studies of mass media performance, uses of the PM continue, nonetheless, to yield important insights into the workings of political and economic power in society, due in large measure to the model’s considerable explanatory power.

In today's atheistic climate most people have no idea how much powerful evidence exists for the literal accuracy and authenticity of the biblical record. The British Museum holds a huge number of discoveries that provide direct corroboration and background confirmation for an immense sweep of Bible history. This survey of Bible-authenticating exhibits has been designed as a guide for visitors, and also to give pleasure and interest to readers unable to tour the galleries. It is also most suitable for people who need to see the accuracy and inspiration of the Bible. The 'tour' followed here started life over 40 years ago and has been used by thousands of people. Almost every item viewed on the tour receives a full colour photograph. Room plans are provided for every gallery visited showing the precise location of artefacts, and time-charts relate the items to contemporary kings and prophets. The book is enriched by pictures and descriptions of famous 'proofs' in other museums also.
