akubra hats are an australian icon . for over 130 years akubra has been making its legendary fur felt hats in australia . the name akubra is synonymous with the landscape of outback australia and their quality hats have become a significant part of australian culture . this family company has moved confidently into this new century releasing a range of quality belts as well as luggage & accessories .

so to help you get in the aussie spirit , here ' s a little history of akubra hats , and the quality that goes into every hat they make .
every akubra hat is made from pure rabbit fur felt and depending on the style , anywhere from 10 to 14 rabbit skins make an individual hat . fur felt is the strongest natural fabric produced , as the individual fibres are tightly interlocked in production to form a dense , tough matrix . that’s what makes akubra hats so durable .
in the last eight years , alex and his akubra have been to countless rodeos and b & s balls and even made the long trek to the birdsville races last year .
this australia day , mr costello was at the howard springs tavern in darwin , enjoying the day with his mates , when a young lady snatched his prized akubra and took off .
if you can imagine all the rugged durability that made stetson hats famous , but manufactured in australia by a fifth - generation family business , then you ' ve just imagined akubra as it is today . they have been producing hats down under since 1874 . the word
akubra
is thought to have been derived from an aboriginal word meaning
head covering .
akubra has excellent quality control , and remove hats not meeting their high standards from our orders . we minimize the effect of such short shipments through our in - depth inventory and frequent orders .
dunkerley moved his business to crown street in surry hills , sydney , sometime in the 1900s , then relocated again to nearby waterloo in 1912 to increase output , after the akubra trademark was registered .
although not the style of hat akubra was manufacturing in the early days of their business , some of these country styles definitely put akubra on the map in the late 20th century such as the classic snowy river and an old favourite of many the cattleman . with a variety of decorative leathers , braids , feathers and even an opal as trim options in the range . . . good luck choosing !
akubra is the only major hat company making fur felt hats from start to finish . it takes between 3 and 5 months from when we place our orders to receiving the hats in bothell , washington .
luggage & accessories : new to the akubra family , is their stylish range of luggage & accessories made from high quality australian leather . the range includes a premium collection of both men’s and women’s wallets & bags .
while he sported akubra style hats during the coachella music festival in april , he relaxed his look with a woolen beanie during the new york knicks v brooklyn nets nba basketball game in new york earlier in the month .
have been australia ' s quality hats since the early 1900 ' s . akubra ' s worldwide reputation is built on the long lasting quality of their fur felt , the comfort of their reeded leather sweat bands and their classic australian styles .
today akubra is a major employer in its region , with about 90 workers , is seeing increased exports , and last october received a boost from an increase in the number of slouch hats it would be providing for the australian defence force .

drought relief concerts & farmhand initiative have raised millions of dollars for country australia . we are proud that lee kernaghan wears the akubra - outback club with pride .
the 1980s saw akubra enjoy a bit of a renaissance , helped out by things such as the man from snowy river movie , golfer greg norman’s successes while wearing the company’s hats , and being part of the australian team’s uniform in the 1984 los angeles olympics .
the craft - made hats have been getting more and more attention overseas , and though akubra isn’t an asian century story , the rising middle - class in china has made an impact on the hat - maker’s exports , which represent about a fifth of total revenue .
akubra’s entry into the chinese market started without the company making any real plans for it . exports are “in their infancy stages” , but – as with some other high - value - add , high - quality australian manufacturers – the future there could be a bright one .
here is a video showing how akubra does it , with a dash of aussie pride - and a bit of connecticut hat history . at 1 : 36 in the video , an antique fur sorting machine appears , labeled
doran brothers inc . , danbury ct , usa .
those retailers taking full advantage of our in - stock service are selling a wide range of styles from very lean and efficient inventories . our hat accessories including braided kangaroo hat bands and chin straps , only available to our akubra accounts , make excellent add - on sales and lead to increased customer satisfaction .
at some point , akubra brought a piece of the former
hat capital of the world
down to the southern hemisphere . it ' s true enough that they don ' t make those machines like they used to - or even at all ! it ' s good to know that the aussies are taking good care of it and keeping it alive .
a great example of the quality workmanship which goes into these hats is found in the akubra banjo patterson hat , named after the famous australian poet . 100 % fur felt with a 2 3 / 4
brim . its unique leather hat band is made from barramundi , an australian fish . the leather has a smooth , shiny finish and a marbled look .
scene 1 : the travellers in this scene 10 narrators introduce the story in rhyming verse . bob the swagman , santa and the travellers enter dressed in traditional australian clobber which may include akubra hat , dry as a bone jacket , stubbies , flip flops , jeans , chequed shirts , swags and backpacks . they sing “the old bark hut” & “travelled all over australia ” .
back at home , the company is conscious that australians see the brand as iconic and a source of national pride . despite the pressures facing all manufacturers , and the reduced tariff protection – though high imposts on australians exporting to china – that has made it difficult to compete with cheap imports , akubra has survived and managed to do so without outsourcing labour . the pressure is felt however .
sun protection : not only a great looking hat , akubras also provide exceptional protection from the sun . akubra hats have a upf 50 + sun protection rating and are classified as excellent under the upf classification system . this is the highest possible rating that can be achieved . whether you’re working or relaxing , akruba hats are always a great option . to optimise sun protection , select a hat with a wider brim .
akubra notifies us once the order is shipped , usually 2 - 1 / 2 to 4 months after our order is placed . we then monitor the shipments progress into the us . we pay all duty and custom clearance fees . in addition , we need a fish & wildlife permit to import the pure fur felt hats . we pay the annual fee for this permit , and make sure the paperwork is in order .

g’day , and welcome to everything australian , where you can buy the best in aussie gear .
january 26th is australia day - the national day of australia . it commemorates the founding of the first colony in sydney by the brits , back in 1788 . it ' s sort of like 4th of july celebrations here in the usa : after the parades and fireworks , they throw a snag ( sausage ) on the barbie ( grill ) and head down to the pub ( bar ) to watch a footy match ( rugby game ) !
in some ways , the factory floor looks very similar to the texas manufacturing plant which makes stetson hats . they use traditional felting methods that have been around for a very , very long time : there ' s lots of water , lots of steam and plenty of fascinating , industrial - age - style machinery .
keen for something else ? just head over to our online catalog to find a quality hat , and bob ' s - yer - uncle ! ( ausssie slang for ,
if you go ahead and do that , it will turn out allright .

now its 101st year and fourth generation , the australian hat - maker still makes its iconic felt hats in much the same way as always has . brent balinski talks to company secretary roy wilkinson about tradition and how demand for aussie - made quality is catching on in china .
“no real changes , ” noted company secretary and director roy wilkinson , who has been at the company for 16 years , when asked about what’s different in the processes that turn rabbit pelts into the iconic hats .
“the main reason for that is back in the 20s and 30s there were probably at least a dozen if not two dozen fur felt manufacturers in australia . just in australia . ”
the 60s and 70s killed off a lot of those in that industry – fast cars and long hair aren’t allied to headwear – and there was a global trend away from hats .
“as a result of that there was no investment in manufacturing technology , ” he said .
“so what you see in terms of our plant is what you’d see at stetson and other millinery companies around the world that make fur felt hats . ”
also , the artisanal nature of high - quality hat - making means that automation isn’t really an option .
“you do need a lot of hands on these hats , ” he told manufacturers’ monthly .
the family - owned firm is currently in its fourth generation , and its managing director and major shareholder is the fourth man in control of the company to be named stephen keir .
according to historian dr lisa murray , the company’s workforce peaked at 500 employees during world war ii and 80 per cent of its production was for slouch hats , which the company still makes , and which it has provided to the australian army since the first world war .
the 50s saw a slowing of hat sales , which the company blamed on the holden car and the beehive hairdo , then further slowing in the next two decades for the reasons above .
in 1974 the company moved to kempsey on the mid - north coast , made more attractive due to decentralisation assistance offered to businesses .
“it’s certainly had an impact . we’ve gone through a revolving door with the slouch hat contract back in the 20s and 30s , and the 40s , we were a predominant supplier of the slouch hat to defence , ” said wilkinson .
“just prior to the last tender there was a – i guess you’d call it a change of heart from government , ” said wilkinson of the approach to procuring of defence uniforms from local suppliers .
“in the most recent tender , we were able to demonstrate that basically we could make a slouch hat out of 99 per cent australian material , labour , overheads and the like . and as a result we won a more significant proportion of the contract . ”
though the tender for slouch hats is significant , it’s not the beginning and end of what the company does , and wilkinson says it represents “maybe five or six per cent” of revenue .
according to a recent profile of the company , it produces 150 , 000 hats a year . wilkinson estimates that the fur of roughly 2 . 5 million rabbits will be processed this year . the animals’ thick under - fur is the major component .
cone shaping is followed by cloth wrapping , then wrapping and shrinking , followed by dying and ( for some hats ) proofing with shellac . then comes blocking and tip - stretching , stoving ( racking and placing
in ovens and drying ) , a process called “pouncing” , pre - creasing and steaming on a block , adding trimmings , flanging and – finally – sanding .
as mentioned earlier , it’s labour - intensive and isn’t suited to attempts at automation .
“the way they’re made is the way they’re made ; it really is a craft , ” said wilkinson .
“china and tibet have become our number one export market , and that’s really developed over the last five years , ” said wilkinson . the other major export destinations are the united states , germany and england .
“i remember getting an email from a customer in tibet who wanted to , he was in sydney , and wanted to take 50 hats back , ” remembered wilkinson .
“he couldn’t speak a lot of english , put the money in our account , took them back . from 50 hats now i think he takes around about four to five thousand hats a year . and we’ve still never met him . we communicate by email .
“his english is better and he pays for everything up front . and he’s only one distributor we now have . he was our tibet distributor and he’s moved into parts of china but we now have two or three other distributors that are in china as well .
“it’s continuing to grow and there is no doubt there is a thirst , as their middle class becomes wealthier , for products that are not made in china . even with the aussie dollar where it is , we’re kind of defying the trend . ”
“it’s not a level playing field in australia and we don’t criticise it , ” wilkinson said .
“we have a very high standard – fair enough – we accept it , but there must be an element of that the consumer is not as conscious of and will always buy on price . and that’s where manufacturing in australia is getting nailed . ”
he mentioned the lower tariffs for clothing entering australia , yet the high barriers for local rag traders wanting to export to china .
especially after high - profile examples like blundstone and pacific brands , the company knows that any shift of the company’s labour overseas would see a backlash . being family - owned helps lessen the pressure to do so , as there are no shareholders demanding a certain rate of return on their investment .
“the three owners of the company are on the board of directors and are very passionate about australian made . they also recognise that our brand and our future are important and i guess in some respect there are no guarantees about where you can end up in the next 100 years , ” said wilkinson .
“our commitment is to be australian made , as much as possible , but if you ask me what that commitment will be in ten years i couldn’t really tell you . as to the reaction , yes i can appreciate that there would be a great deal of negative sentiment should we make decisions around outsourcing manufacturing . ”

never mess with a man ' s hat - you may not understand exactly what it means to him .
to some , perhaps a hat is a hat , but to others it ' s a lot more .
one bloke who knows exactly how much his hat means to him is 26 - year - old former warwick , queensland man alex costello .
it ' s not unusual for girls to take guys ' hats ,
he said .
it ' s kind of a flirty thing , girl takes hat , dances around with it a bit and guy has to go over and chat to the girl and so on . but this wasn ' t flirty at all , she took off into the toilets .
according to mr costello , the young woman emerged finally , had a quick laugh with her friends and locked the hat in her car .
i didn ' t get it back , and i was pretty devastated .
i wear it everywhere up here - it ' s a part of my identity .
it ' s covered in food dye from all the b & s balls ,
he said .
i wore it to one when it was squeaky clean and was a bit annoyed at first but now it ' s part of the history of the hat .
he attended scots pgc college and left warwick in 2011 and since 2012 has been working as a plumber in the northern territory .
i ' ve got a mate in darwin who ' s a reporter for the nt news ,
mr costello said .
and the next day he asked me if i wanted to do a story about it , so i agreed , thinking it might get the hat back .
i ' m not completely surprised by how far and wide the story travelled on social media .
i know quite a lot of people up here and they all know what that hat means to me and wanted to see me get it back .
after seeing the story on social media , the cheeky young woman who stole the hat got in contact with alex .
she said she ' d seen the story and she had the hat and was happy to give it back ,
he said .
i was already back working in katherine , but she agreed to drop the hat at my house , which she did . no one saw her , but the hat was returned .
i ' ve only just got back , but i ' m so stoked to have it back in my hands ,
he said .
i ' m getting it reshaped , it got knocked around a bit .
and i haven ' t met the young lady who took it yet , but i reckon she owes me a few beers .

fans of cody simpson know very well that the 18 - year - old australian singer very rarely steps out without a statement head piece .
on wednesday the blonde babe took to the stage at postbahnhof in germany ' s berlin , opting for a sleek black baseball style cap with the letter a splashed across the front in red font .
the boyfriend of sports illustrated model gigi hadid , teamed his cap with a black jacket layered over a white t - shirt .
also wearing a pair of faded blue jeans , he stood on stage in a pair of tan coloured leather boots with a slight heel .
showing off his wavy golden locks under his cap , cody was in his element as he performed for the crowd .
with his guitar in hand , he effortlessly strummed away , while belting out some sweet tunes .
in recent weeks the surfboard hitmaker has been mixing up his looks while attending events , and that includes statement headwear on each occasion .
cody recently started his own independent record label , coast house , and wants to sign artists similar to himself and release less commercial music .
he has decided to stop releasing dance tracks and opted for the relaxed reggae and beach style tunes he loves .
taking to twitter earlier this month he wrote in a series of tweets : ' so recently i went independent as a musician to release my first album
free
under my very own coast house records . . '
' and that ' s because i like to live a free , natural , non - conformist life full of good times and make live music to reflect that and inspire you . '
' met a bloke named @ mrciscoadler and together we created some music we ' re both very proud of . my guitar and i keen to inspire you to get free . '
cody ' s next album free will be released later this year with the first two songs from the album called flower and new problems out now .

cosmos often simply means
universe
. but the word is generally used to suggest an orderly or harmonious universe , as it was originally used by pythagoras in the 6th century b . c . thus , a religious mystic may help put us in touch with the cosmos , and so may a physicist . the same is often true of the adjective cosmic : cosmic rays ( really particles rather than rays ) bombard us from outer space , but cosmic questions come from human attempts to find order in the universe .

cosmos and history is a journal of natural and social philosophy . it serves those who see philosophy’s vocation in questioning and challenging prevailing assumptions about ourselves and our place in the world , developing new ways of thinking about physical existence , life , humanity and society , so helping to create the future insofar as thought affects the issue .
cosmos , fox’s much - anticipated remake of carl sagan’s classic wonder - of - science series , is drawing attention for an unexpected reason . the middle of the premier episode features a long segment on giordano bruno , an early - modern friar and philosopher who was burned at the stake for his outlandish theological views . bruno’s heresy was partially related to his hypotheses about the universe , some of which were astonishingly correct : that the cosmos is infinite , and that the sun is just another star . his proto - scientific inquiry and his clash with the catholic church made bruno an enlightenment hero , lionized by modern historians and even by figures as celebrated as the german philosopher g . w . f . hegel .
that’s more or less the story that gets told in cosmos . bruno is introduced as “only one man on the whole planet” who suspected that the universe was larger than everyone living in the year 1600 thought . neil degrasse tyson ambles through alleys in the vatican , explaining that there was “no freedom of thought in italy , ” and bruno’s theories brought him “into the clutches of the thought police . ” bruno , according to cosmos , wandered around europe , arguing passionately but fruitlessly for his new explanation of the universe , only to be mocked , impoverished , and eventually imprisoned and executed . catholic authorities are depicted as cartoon ghouls , and introduced with sinister theme music . tyson explains that the church’s modus operandi was to “investigate and torment anyone who voiced views that differed from theirs . ”
the deimos 10k spectroscopic catalog contains 10718 object out to z = 6 in the cosmos field observed through multi - slit spectroscopy with the deep imaging multi - object spectrograph ( deimos ) on the keck ii telescope . the objects have been selected from a variety of input catalogs based on multi - wavelength observations in the field , and thus have a diverse selection function , which enables the study of the diversity in the galaxy population .
but that chaotic story is worth telling , even when it comes to pop entertainment . it reminds us that history rarely gives us uncomplicated heroes or black - and - white moral choices . it reminds us that even our most impressive rational feats are colored and shaped by our irrational natures , and that our attempts to explain and master the world are always , at some level , an illusion . cosmos is a grand tour of the amazing things we’ve figured out about the world , and it should also be a reminder of how many more remain unfathomable mysteries .
cosmos and history : the journal of natural and social philosophy is a peer - reviewed , open - access journal of natural and social philosophy . it serves those who see philosophy ' s vocation in questioning and challenging prevailing assumptions about ourselves and our place in the world , developing new ways of thinking about physical existence , life , humanity and society , so helping to create the future insofar as thought affects the issue . philosophy so conceived is not exclusively identified with the work of professional philosophers , and the journal welcomes contributions from philosophically oriented thinkers from all disciplines .
this thirteen part series is carl sagan ' s personal account of the universe and how humans have interpreted it through time . in cosmos , carl sagan takes us on location to places in the world where the most important people and ideas in science and astronomy were born , and to places in outer space where those ideas have revealed the universe to us . carl sagan shares a sense of wonder that is both intelligent and humorous , while occasionally warning us of our capabilities of self - destruction . though cosmos was made during the height of the cold war , it still stands as a reminder of global problems and dangers we still need to resolve . this series has either consciously or unconsciously set the standard for the format of almost every hosted science show or series on television since it was made , and it ' s no wonder . carl sagan is a charismatic and sincere authority on the subject matter , and the music score is mostly by vangelis ( bladerunner , chariots of fire , 1492 ) synergy , tangerine dream , vivaldi , and more . the visuals are amazing and remain as relevant as they were on the release date .
what cosmos doesn’t mention is that bruno’s conflict with the catholic church was theological , not scientific , even if it did involve his wild—and occasionally correct—guesses about the universe . as discover magazine’s corey powell pointed out , the philosophers of the 16th century weren’t anything like scientists in the modern sense . bruno , for instance , was a “pandeist , ” which is the belief that god had transformed himself into all matter and ceased to exist as a distinct entity in himself . he believed in all sort of magic and spirits , and extrapolated those views far beyond his ideas about the infinity of the universe . in contrast to contemporaries who drew more modest conclusions from their similar ideas , bruno agitated for an elaborate counter - theology , and was ( unlike the poor , humble outcast portrayed in cosmos ) supported by powerful royal benefactors . the church didn’t even have a position on whether the earth orbited the sun , and didn’t bring it up at bruno’s trial . while the early - modern religious persecution certainly can’t be denied , bruno was killed because he flamboyantly denied basic tenets of the catholic faith , not because religious authorities were out to suppress all “freedom of thought . ”
this article explains how , according to the pythagorean concept of the first four numbers ( 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ) , augustine develops his own musical cosmology in christian theological context . augustine agrees with the pythagorean cosmology that numbers as the essence of the cosmos have been measured and arranged in a harmonic order and the sequence of the first four numbers perfectly illustrates the harmonic order . based on the unchangeable nature of numbers , augustine argues that the ratios of the first four numbers ( 1 / 1 , 1 / 2 , 2 / 3 , 3 / 4 ) are not only the fundamental of harmonic law , but also the highest modus , by which god created all beauties / forms .
cosmos ’ treatment of bruno as a “martyr for science” is just a small example of a kind of cultural myth we tell ourselves about the development of modern society , one that’s almost completely divorced from the messy reality . it’s a story of an upward march from ignorance and darkness , where bold , rebel intellectuals like bruno faced down the tyrannical dogma of religion and eventually gave us secularism , democracy , and prosperity . iconoclastic individuals are our heroes , and big , bad institutions—monarchies , patriarchies , churches—are the villains . in the process , our fascinating , convoluted history gets flattened into a kind of secular bible story to remind us why individual freedom and “separation of church and state” are the most important things for us to believe in .
does it matter that a tv show doesn’t get into complexities that divide even the world’s leading historians ? to a certain extent , misunderstanding the story of bruno isn’t going to do a whole lot of harm—especially in a country where so many people are in denial about basic scientific facts . but that cosmos added an unnecessary and skewed version of bruno—especially one skewed in this particular way—is a good miniature lesson about our tendency to turn the past into propaganda for our preferred view of the present . there are cultural , religious , and even political reasons that the story of scientific progress and political enlightenment are so attractive , and filter down even into our children’s entertainment . it allows us to see ourselves as the apex of history , the culmination of an inevitable , upward surge of improvement . it reassures us that our political values are righteous , and reminds us who the enemies are . the messy , complex , non - linear movement of actual history , by contrast , is unsettling , humbling—even terrifying .
finding the methods and results of the allegedly rational thought of modern naturalists seriously deficient , vine deloria jr . , native indian political activist turned naturalistic thinker , suggests that indigenous thinkers are in this respect more sensible than modern , scientistic naturalists . he traces their good sense to a consistent empiricism which strives to take into account all aspects of their concrete experiencing . lacking however the support of a vitalistic metaphysics that can synthesize their best insights , their modes of thought tend to be dismissed as superstitious and irrational . yet it is nonetheless possible to defend their core belief , that they dwell in a moral universe . to see this one requires a means to overcome the deadening effects of the abstract language of modern reason which presupposes the adequacy of the metaphysics of mechanistic materialism . this can be done starting with samuel butler ' s incomplete lamarckian account of the evolution of this living cosmos , an account that can be supplemented by fashioning a vitalistic metaphysics based on the most salient characteristics of a living self using certain insights of a . n . whitehead , gilles deleuze , s . t . coleridge , among others .

tuna was a 2 year feasibility study into the work needed to develop networks of nanites that behave safely . nanites are novel devices that operate on the nanoscopic level to cause macroscopic effects ; nanotech assemblers are nanites that build artefacts .
( 1 ) to investigate the languages needed for developing abstract models of nanites and the protocols needed for inter - nanite communication and for external control .
( 2 ) to investigate methods for verifying and validating executable models of nanites .
( 3 ) to investigate the requirements for an appropriate simulation framework for executable models of nanites and of networks of nanites .
( 4 ) to investigate the nature of safety cases for the use of networks of nanites .
in carrying out these investigations , we used a case study from the field of nanomedicine : the process of haemostasis ( the staunching of bleeding ) caused by mechanical platelets .

astronomer dr . carl sagan is host and narrator of this 13 - hour series that originally aired on public broadcasting stations in the united states . dr . sagan describes the universe in a way that appeals to a mass audience , by using earth as a reference point , by speaking in terms intelligible to non - scientific people , by relating the exploration of space to that of the earth by pioneers of old , and by citing such earth legends as the library of alexandria as metaphors for space - related future events . among dr . sagan ' s favorite topics are the origins of life , the search for life on mars , the infernal composition of the atmosphere of venus and a warning about a similar effect taking place on earth due to global pollution and the
greenhouse effect
, the lives of stars , interstellar travel and the effects of attaining the speed of light , the danger of mankind technologically self - destructing , and the search , using radio technology , for intelligent life in deep space .
and his production team traveled around the world , filming in places like india , egypt , italy , cambodia , france , alaska , mexico and usa , among others .
: human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group . initially our loyalties were to ourselves and our immediate family , next , to bands of wandering hunter - gatherers , then to tribes , small settlements , city - states , nations . we have broadened the circle of those we love . we have now organized what are modestly described as super - powers , which include groups of people from divergent ethnic and cultural backgrounds working in some sense together - surely . . .

she spoke about the various successes and challenges of engaging the public in such a large multi - national , multi - wavelength astronomical consortium . this is important because we think our data and science is great and we want to share it with everyone ! the main challenge is that our astronomers , therefore the members of the public who we are trying to reach , are dispersed throughout the world over many different time zones and languages .
therefore we mainly communicate our science using online platforms . we have this website and a presence on facebook , twitter and you tube . we use these platforms to share our video blogs , news , press releases and more .

neil degrasse tyson’s remake of the 1980s series tries to explain how early - modern thinkers began to discover the wonders of the universe . its history is as cartoonish as its graphics .
the real path to our modern selves is much more complicated—so complicated that academic historians still endlessly debate how it happened . while some scholars treat “the enlightenment” as if it were a single movement , others argue that it unfolded differently—at different paces , in different styles—in different countries . some argue that atheism was a central concern , while others think the “age of reason” was driven more by the desire for greater political freedom . either way , deeply religious catholic scholars contributed to many of the great discoveries of natural science , and even the foundations of disciplines like geology . very few of the heroes of the enlightenment were atheists , and even the scientific luminaries of the period fell for various forms of “occultism , ” from alchemy to spirit - conjuring . many were elitists who , despite their opposition to tyranny , remained contemptuous of the masses . the veneration of reason did not lead neatly or automatically to moderate democratic politics ; in some cases , like the terror of the french revolution , it resulted in bloody brutality not much different from the sort visited on religious heretics like bruno a few centuries before .
this founding work of the history of religions , first published in english in 1954 , secured the north american reputation of the romanian émigré - scholar mircea eliade ( 1907 - 1986 ) . making reference to an astonishing number of cultures and drawing on scholarship published in no less than half a dozen european languages , eliade ' s the myth of the eternal return makes both intelligible and compelling the religious expressions and activities of a wide variety of archaic and
primitive
religious cultures . while acknowledging that a return to the
archaic
is no longer possible , eliade passionately insists on the value of understanding this view in order to enrich our contemporary imagination of what it is to be human . jonathan z . smith ' s new introduction provides the contextual background to the book and presents a critical outline of eliade ' s argument in a way that encourages readers to engage in an informed conversation with this classic text .

in a nutshell , this book concerns the translation of myth as a way of mans coping with the cruel world and the events therein . to primitive man the only acts that where valid where those that mirrored the actions of the gods and he frequently wiped his slate clean with frenzied ceremonies , so as to avoid responsibility for his transgressive acts . modern man developed a more inclusive view of himself where by his experience was / is part of a refinement of the soul and his historic sufferings are lessons on the road to his perfection . the development of these systems is determined by the examination of beliefs sourced from a wide range of ancient texts which when cross referenced form a generalised archaic ontology . the text contains an excessive amount of references and the main points / theories are repeated numerous times , but the length of the book and the information contained within make it quite tolerable for the non - academic to read . the final chapter is particularly illuminating as to the predicament of modern man in respect of his autonomy in a world where history is made by a minority .
i love this book since it is very useful book to support my research directly . i have got three books from mircea aliade in which he is one of the great thinker in his field .
the romanian - born historian of religion mircea eliade ( 1907–86 ) had to wait for years to get any of the books that would establish his international reputation published in . . .
i have read quite a lot of this kind of stuff , but i must say that this was a book which was so good , and which i enjoyed reading so much that i wished i hadn ' t read it yet .
originally written in 1954 , and is a translation , so the style is not always easily accessible - requires effort to read - but worth it .
eliade is deeply original in his analysis , and i found he transformed my understanding of religious expression and ritual .
myth of the eternal return
is typically considered a vital text to anyone interested in sociological , anthropological and psychological approaches to religion .
this little book has managed to influence all discussions about time not only in religion , but also in psychology ( see norman o .

quantum mechanics is typically divided into two parts : the unobserved amplitude given by the equations of quantum field theory and the observed measurement aspect . we argue that a better approach is insert a probability realm in the middle . the reason is that every measurement involves interactions with a complex environment where massive decoherence transforms the amplitudes into standard probabilities . the probabilities eliminate complex superpositions so that quantum states a and b become classical states a or b . thus the measurement process becomes a simpler and more familiar process of the observer selecting from classical type probabilities . this is close to the approach recommended by henry stapp . we anticipate that by using this approach many of the different interpretations of quantum mechanics become more similar to each other .
morphogenesis , the generation of form , is closely related to the mathematical field of topology , the study of the qualities of shape . since cerebral thought distils itself into shapes , seen and felt , and their subsequent transformation , the study of the emergence and comprehension of shapes is central to address questions of consciousness , emerging at the apparent juxtaposition of the internal world of the mind , and the external world of physical objects . since light is a vibrating electromagnetic wave , we use principles derived from measurements of coherent speckle in light , where energy unfolds out of singularities in the field , to draw analogies with the emergence of the material universe from centers of conscious experience . the vibrational basis of understanding consciousness is additionally complemented with ancient shaivik literature of south asia - the spandakarika ( vibration chronicles ) .
based on the author ' s notes for a presentation to the foundations of mind group in october of 2017 , this paper examines the role of metareligion in obtaining a favorable outcome for the human species as it approaches a singularity with both human and technological aspects . for limited technical background , please consult two of the author ' s previous papers ( langan , 2002 , 2017 ) .
henry stapp ' s realistically interpreted orthodox quantum mechanics suggests that when a question is asked , nature answers . in this formalism ,
the thought itself is the thinker ,
which clears the way for any thinker - human or other - to be an actively creative agent . in this process , an ensuing succession of questions arising in the minds of observers is received and responded to by a
nature
that chooses and implements responses in accordance with born ' s rule in a physically described universe represented by evolving quantum mechanics states . this paper explores what results might be expected if and when artificial general intelligence ( agi ) asks questions , based on stapp ' s orthodox interpretation .
this paper argues against the paradigm of mechanistic reductionism in relation to consciousness . the paradigm impoverishes reality by dismissing the greater part of the experienced world in exchange for control over a small segment . the distortion limits nature with respect to the concept of time and mistakenly defines consciousness as a
property .
the concept of time in the paradigm provides no way to account for remembering other than storage and mechanical retrieval of records of past events , erroneously called
memories .
the error is the conversion of verbs into nouns : taking actions as bytes and bits of data . once this is allowed , the idea that the person is the mind , the mind is the brain and the brain is a computer becomes the bedrock upon which the edifice of ai rises beyond its capacity as a useful tool and betrays humanity by blurring the distinction between self and machine . an alternative view is introduced which suggests the idea of developmental time instead of physical time and replaces
consciousness
with
experience
.
we propose a universal definition of intelligence of a physical system and discuss its implications on design of intelligent systems . the definition proposed is universally valid and does not invoke teleological or anthropic concepts . we discuss the relationship of intelligence to energetic properties by invoking recent results in inequilibrium thermodynamics and computational mechanics . intelligent system design is reformulated in three natural problems : selective forgetting , memory maintenance and self - recording . we conclude with highlighting the relationship of energetic and informational optimality principles involved in designing intelligent physical systems or their spontaneous emergence .
attempts are currently being made to use quantum mechanics as a probe to unravel the mysteries of consciousness . this paper examines this probe , quantum mechanics and its usefulness in getting an insight of working of human consciousness . the formation of quantum mechanics based on certain axioms , its development to study the dynamical behavior and motions of fundamental particles and quantum energy particles moving with the velocity of light , its insistence on wave functions , its probability approach , its dependence on uncertainty principles will all be critically discussed . the result of this discussion will be presented . its limitations in unraveling the form , function and biological nature of consciousness will be presented . the alternative probe available and being used - the translation of upanishadic insight and advaita philosophy into cognitive science elements in delineating the definition , form and function of consciousness will be given . the usefulness of this modeling and analysis in understanding the consciousness , mind and its functions in cognitive science and theory of human language acquisition and communication will also be presented . the physic - chemical nature of ideas , senses , thoughts , feelings , utterances will be grossly dealt with . the functions of consciousness and mind , in knowledge and language acquisition and communication will be dealt with .
whitehead believed that science and philosophy mutually criticize each other to provide imaginative material for their shaping the history of thought . in the early twentieth century , as a mathematician turned philosopher , he took up the task of challenging the emerging scientific theories of the time , such as relativity and quantum mechanics , and provided a radically novel cosmological scheme . he challenged the incoherence of the mechanistic materialistic scientific world with his visionary process - relational model , based on the ontology of organisms . almost a century later , his challenges to science are as , or even more , valid . this paper explores whitehead ' s struggle with relativity , reflects on his response to quantum mechanics , and reviews his tribute to god , based on his philosophical model , as an attempt to understand divergent perspectives on the nature of universe .
the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics , which followed the copenhagen interpretation but was enhanced by primarily werner heisenberg and john von neumann into a fully developed theory , brought in , among others , the role of measurement , available choices and response of the quantum system . it is , more consistent and clear than other interpretations of quantum mechanics as it provides account of the interactions of observers with the external world . as such , the orthodox interpretation does a lot more than just account for physical interactions in the atomic world , which was the original goal of quantum mechanics in the early part of the twentieth century . in this article we present several issues that may have been answered or need further development , such as measurement and observation , what is nature and who the observer is . extending orthodox quantum mechanics , leading to universal non - dual awareness may provide a consistent and integrated view of reality and is consistent with advances in mathematical theory . an issue of paramount importance is what are the philosophical underpinnings or ontological view of the quantum nature of the universe and the role of human minds , observations and choices .
two very significant principles with vast ramifications discovered in the 20th century are the heisenberg uncertainty principle and the nonlocality principles of the einstein , podolsky , rosen ( epr ) paradox . these aspects of quantum theory have major physical and philosophical implications . the fundamental bases of nonlocality in quantum theory lie in the epr paradox , as well as other experiments that demand a nonlocal explanation for the phenomenon they display . the fundamental basis of nonlocality in the universe is fundamental to the properties of consciousness . we examined both micro and macroscopic nonlocality .
since the time of aristotle , metaphysics has been an ill - defined term . this paper defines it as a logically idempotent metalinguistic identity of reality which couples the two initial ingredients of awareness : perceptual reality ( the basis of physics ) , and cognitive - perceptual syntax , a formalization of mind . the explanation has been reduced to a few very simple , clearly explained mathematical ingredients . this paper contains no assumptions or arguable assertions , and is therefore presented as an advanced formulation of logic which has been updated for meaningful reference to the structure of reality at large . this structure , called the cognitive - theoretic model of the universe or ctmu , resolves the problems attending cartesian dualism by replacing dualism with the mathematical property of self - duality , meaning ( for reality - theoretic purposes ) the quantum - level invariance of identity under permutation of objective and spatiotemporal data types . the ctmu takes the form of a global coupling or superposition of mind and physical reality in a self - dual metaphysical identity m : l↔u , which can be intrinsically developed into a logico - geometrically self - dual , ontologically self - contained language incorporating its own medium of existence and comprising its own model therein .
the benedictine monk sean o duinn is well - known for his writings in english and tv documentary appearances , espousing an ecological version of celtic christianity . in his writings in gaelic , free from the vatican censors , a more daring hypothesis emerges ; celtic christianity was infused by old ( possibly aryan ) themes from the indus valley civilization . in this paper , we look at constraints on any new religious system , before excerpts from a work in progress to rescue this great figure as his end nears by translating this work into english .
