What if Kant’s theory of knowledge were not merely a philosophical speculation, but an implicit description of the very architecture of the human brain?In this ambitious philosophical work, Marcel Chelba proposes a new epistemological paradigm: Stereoperspectival Epistemology — a theory of knowledge integrating Kantian transcendental philosophy, modern neuroscience, brain hemispheric asymmetry, cybernetics, and the epistemological crises of contemporary science.

In the delicate intersection of poetry and Zen, there exists a quiet world where words dissolve into silence, and silence speaks louder than any verse. This is a world where mountains breathe, rivers hum, and the human heart, in its fleeting moments, touches the eternal. Chinese culture, with its profound literary and spiritual heritage, has long nurtured this union, allowing poets to meditate with words and Zen masters to awaken through imagery.The Poetic Mind: Zen and Philosophy is an invitation: to wander through bamboo groves and misty valleys, to listen to the whisper of wind and water, and to encounter the subtle truths hidden in the simplest moments. Here, poems are not merely read—they are lived; Zen is not merely studied—it is experienced.This book seeks to be both a guide and a companion. Step by step, chapter by chapter, it leads the reader from emptiness to presence, from solitude to harmony, from contemplation to awakening. It is a journey where classical wisdom meets modern life, where aesthetic delight walks hand in hand with mindful awareness, and where every page offers a chance to cultivate a poetic Zen mind.

Atlantis was never only a lost city. It became one of the West’s great civilization-legends Beginning with Plato’s Timaeus and Critias, and moving through later antiquity, Renaissance humanism, Bacon’s New Atlantis, Donnelly’s literalizing turn, nationalism, pseudoarchaeology, modern media, and digital culture, the book shows how Atlantis became one of the West’s great civilization- legends. This is not merely a book about an ancient myth. It is a book about what civilizations do with legends of greatness, catastrophe, hidden order, and recoverable loss. The result is a wide-ranging study of philosophy, history, media, and civilizational memory that explains why Atlantis still matters in an age of technological power.

“Η Υπόθεση των Διαδοχικών Πολιτισμών” διαπραγματεύεται το πολύ πιθανό φαινόμενο μέσα στην ιστορία εκατοντάδων χιλιάδων έως εκατομμυρίων ετών του ανθρώπινου είδους, ως Homo sapiens, να συμβαίνουν διαδοχικές εξαφανίσεις του ανθρώπινου πολιτισμού, από ακραία φυσικά φαινόμενα, καταστροφικά για τη ζωή στον πλανήτη, που επιστρέφουν τον άνθρωπο στην αρχή: στον πρωτόγονο κυνηγό και συλλέκτη καρπών! Ένας κύκλος που η υπόθεση υποψιάζεται ότι έχει επαναληφθεί από 5 έως 200 φορές μέχρι σήμερα και δικαιολογεί μια αρχαίγονη προέλευση για όλα τα γνωστά μεγαλιθικά μνημεία, που βρίσκονται διασκορπισμένα παντού στον Πλανήτη μας, ότι έχει απομείνει από τους προηγούμενους χαμένους ανθρώπινους πολιτισμούς ή ότι πρόλαβαν να μας αφήσουν, σαν μήνυμα προς το μέλλον!  “Η Υπόθεση υποστηρίζει την ιδέα ότι οι άνθρωποι έχουμε καταφέρει να επιβιώνουμε διαδοχικές μεγάλες καταστροφές, από φυσικά φαινόμενα, αλλά χάνοντας κάθε φορά σχεδόν ολοσχερώς τον πολιτισμό μας ξεκινώντας σαν πρωτόγονοι, πάνω στον πλανήτη.
