MULTIMANIFESTATIONS: Tradition, Philosophy, Democracy, Psychology (Multifest.com) Ed Brown II ([email protected]) Welcome to Multimanifestations -- variations on a singular interdisciplinary theme: tradition-philosophy-democracy-psychology. Multimanifestations' primary goal is to provide paradigms that assist the reader to reDiscover, reDefine, reStore, and reVisit a normalcy that augments individuality and community. Multimanifestations' is a series of living paradigms. These living paradigms serve as a means to study and interpret culture and art from a local as well as global perspective. Locally and globally there is a call to derive a cross-cultural theory that protects diverse interests. Multimanifestations' discuses the behavioral and cognitive consistencies between developing/modern/postmodern individuals, peer groups, and communities. Multimanifestations' is also an archive literary work. In this website you will find my essays, poetry, and fiction (prose as well as plays). Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie by Andrew Carnegie (1835 - 1919) LibriVox This autobiography of Andrew Carnegie is a very well written and interesting history of one of the most wealthy men in the United states. He was born in Scotland in 1835 and emigrated to America in 1848. Among his many accomplishments and philanthropic works, he was an author, having written, besides this autobiography, Triumphant Democracy (1886; rev. ed. 1893), The Gospel of Wealth, a collection of essays (1900), The Empire of Business (1902), and Problems of To-day (1908)]. Although this autobiography was written in 1919, it was published posthumously in 1920. (Summary by William Tomcho) Towards Democracy by Edward Carpenter (1844 - 1929) LibriVox “Civilization sinks and swims, but the old facts remain—the sun smiles, knowing well its strength.” Edward Carpenter (1844-1929) wrote his prose poem, Towards Democracy, styled after Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, in a summer burst of creativity. “Early in 1881, no doubt as the culmination and result of struggles and experiences that had been going on, I became conscious that a mass of material was forming within me, imperatively demanding expression . . .” An English intellectual, Carpenter was in rebellion against Victorian prudery. Railing against Industrialization’s dehumanization, he preached a return to a simple life in harmony with Nature. Towards Democracy reads like Beat poetry—wild flowing word associations, moments of insight so clear they hurt, interspersed with pure rant! Included is an essay Carpenter wrote in 1894 explaining his intent and feelings in writing Towards Democracy. - Summary by Sue Anderson From Dictatorship to Democracy by Gene Sharp (1928 - 2018) LibriVox From Dictatorship to Democracy, A Conceptual Framework for Liberation is a book-length essay on the generic problem of how to destroy a dictatorship and to prevent the rise of a new one. The book was written in 1993 by Gene Sharp (b. 1928), a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts. The book has been published in many countries worldwide and translated into more than 30 languages. Editions in many languages are also published by the Albert Einstein Institution of Boston, Massachusetts. This is the Fourth United States Edition, published in May 2010. The book has been circulated worldwide and cited repeatedly as influencing movements such as the Arab Spring of 2010–2012.
