Showing results for "Relativism" in All Categories

"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

"Relativity: The Special and the General Theory" is a seminal work by Albert Einstein, first published in 1916, designed to explain the groundbreaking theories that reshaped our understanding of the universe. In this accessible text, Einstein introduces listeners to the Special Theory of Relativity, which addresses the relationship between space and time, and the General Theory of Relativity, which expands these concepts to include gravity as the curvature of space-time caused by mass and energy.

E=mc2: It may be Einstein’s most well-known contribution to modern science, but how many people understand the thought process or physics behind this famous equation? In this collection of his seven most important essays on physics, Einstein guides the listener step-by-step through the many layers of scientific theory that formed a starting point for his discoveries.

Credo is the Latin phrase that means "I Believe." As a priest, I want to share what I believe with you. I will do this by creating podcast episodes, posting the homilies I give, and "Credo Nuggets" in which I will post short clips of random thoughts I have.

In this eye-opening presentation, Dr. Hawkins discusses the difference between relativism and reality. Relativism claims that perception is reality, whereas reality discerns the essence of something (or an idea) from its appearance. Dr. Hawkins points out that what you think about, value, or how you label something is irrelevant. This revealing talk invites you to remain with the essence of things, and not with perception or individual viewpoint.

Today, people have an increased interest in spirituality, yet they also face widespread cynicism, relativism, and despair. This series of interviews explores the opportunities and liabilities that confront Christians as they seek to live wisely in this confusing time. Gene Deward Veith, Richard Keyes, Robert Wuthnow, and Richard Lints take on relativism, cynicism, and the notion of postmodernity in this thought-provoking exploration of spirituality.
