"[Exposes] the role Eurocentric history-writing plays in rationalizing European oppression of Afrikan peoples and in the falsification of Afrikan consciousness ... [and contends] that the alleged mental and behavioral maladaptiveness of oppressed Afrikan peoples is a political-economic necessity for the maintenance of White domination and imperialism."--Back cover.

Book by Boone, Elizabeth H. (ed)

This book relates the current, insidious plight facing the human race as a direct result of a grand deception that has been imposed upon it for tens of thousands of years if not longer. This has been perpetrated by the systematic, ongoing falsification of history in much the same way as perpetrated by the powers that be in the suspiciously prophetic novel '1984', by George Orwell. We have all been deceived on a monumental scale by a tiny clique of people who by their own birthright and bloodlines absolutely believe that they have the divine right to rule over us by whatever method best suits their purposes. In order to achieve this they have lied, deceived, murdered and even committed genocide down the millennia in an attempt to bring their ultimate goal to fruition. Find out about the use of drugs, vaccinations, micro-chipping, mind control, trans-humanism and 24/7 distractions such as non-stop sports, entertainments and the invasive 'celebrity culture' that attempts to pervade our whole lives.

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1,7, University of Kassel (Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre (IVWL)), course: Philosophy of Economics, language: English, abstract: The question I want to examine in this paper is if and how falsification as a method and Popper's philosophy of science in general is appropriate for and applicable to economic research. To begin with I will start with a short introduction about Karl Popper and his philosophy. Then I will explain and evaluate the concept of falsification with its strengths and weaknesses and its use for science in general. Afterwards I will examine the influence and actual usage of falsification in economics in general to finally evaluate the chances and limits of the concept in this area of science. It is often said that a significant characteristic of economic research is the strong staying power of theories, even with contradicting empirical evidence. Moreover, the scientific character of economic science is often questioned. In this context economic research is criticised for a lack of falsification or even a lack of falsifiability. But is it true and what does this mean? The concept of falsification as a deductive method was brought up and made popular by the Austro-British philosopher Karl Popper in the 1930s. In contrast to the idea of gaining truth or principles through a lot of empiric observations (inductive method), he claimed that it is logically only possible to refute general statements by empirical observations. Consequently, Popper advocates for a method of research through trial and error. Science should use the method of falsification and for him the use of it is the demarcation criterion between science and non-science. Karl Popper's methodological writings have been a cause of debate since the 1930s. This scientific method is nowadays established particularly in natural sciences where you can tell more easily if a theory is wrong than in other disciplines.

Accurately determining the authorship and originality of artistic works is critical to the functioning of the art market, and is an important element for viewers trying to enjoy and understand a work of art. Authentication is one of the most important tasks falling upon art institutions and the people that work at them: artists’ foundations, museums, public administrations, academics, gallery owners and art collectors are all involved. But of course authentication remains a tricky business.This book, derived from an international seminar organized by the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, diffuses the knowledge, experience and opinions of some of the most prestigious experts on these subjects. Furthermore, The Authorship, Authentication and Falsification of Artworks offers new insights and proposals that can help to clarify the difficulties presented by the topic and to improve its legal regulation.

King looks at how Stalin manipulated the science of photography to further his own political career and to erase the memory of his victims. In each case, the juxtaposition of original and doctored images reveals how easily history can be distorted.

The Gentle Answer is a scholarly response to a claim that many Muslims have been making for more than 1200 years: that the text of the Bible is corrupt and/or falsified. This academic edition adds key terms and expression of the discussion in their scriptural Hebrew, Greek and Arabic scripts. Muslim polemicists have selectively used Western biblical criticism in an attempt to support the traditional Muslim accusation of biblical falsification. The Gentle Answer responds to the Muslim claims by placing the Bible and the Qur'an on a level scholarly playing field to show that academic questions about the Qur'an are at least as challenging as questions about the Bible. It builds a case for the reliability of the Bible on the basis of the astonishing discoveries of ancient manuscripts during the past century and expert analysis of the evidence. The book also reviews the growing body of critical research on the Qur'an and the questions it raises about the origins and contents of the Muslim scripture. The final section of The Gentle Answer is a friendly invitation to a free and open faith conversation in a respectful and peaceable environment.

Preference falsification, according to the economist Timur Kuran, is the act of misrepresenting one's wants under perceived social pressures. It happens frequently in everyday life, such as when we tell the host of a dinner party that we are enjoying the food when we actually find it bland. In Private Truths, Public Lies Kuran argues convincingly that the phenomenon not only is ubiquitous but has huge social and political consequences. Drawing on diverse intellectual traditions, including those rooted in economics, psychology, sociology, and political science, Kuran provides a unified theory of how preference falsification shapes collective decisions, orients structural change, sustains social stability, distorts human knowledge, and conceals political possibilities.A common effect of preference falsification is the preservation of widely disliked structures. Another is the conferment of an aura of stability on structures vulnerable to sudden collapse. When the support of a policy, tradition, or regime is largely contrived, a minor event may activate a bandwagon that generates massive yet unanticipated change.In distorting public opinion, preference falsification also corrupts public discourse and, hence, human knowledge. So structures held in place by preference falsification may, if the condition lasts long enough, achieve increasingly genuine acceptance. The book demonstrates how human knowledge and social structures co-evolve in complex and imperfectly predictable ways, without any guarantee of social efficiency.Private Truths, Public Lies uses its theoretical argument to illuminate an array of puzzling social phenomena. They include the unexpected fall of communism, the paucity, until recently, of open opposition to affirmative action in the United States, and the durability of the beliefs that have sustained India's caste system.
