On Krishnamurti's Teachings

The Collected Writings, Talks and Lectures of Prof. Allan W. Anderson on the Teachings of J. Krishnamurti

By: Allan W. Anderson

This seminal collection of works by Allan Anderson expresses his deep concern with vital matters that are shared by all of humanity. His exploration into questions that profoundly affect people of every race and gender, from every quarter of the globe, are brought into focus in his discerning questions posed to J. Krishnamurti. In 1974 he held 18 one hour conversations with the philosopher, teacher and author Krishnamurti, who was perhaps the most noted iconoclast of his day. One who spoke on a wide range of topics, often focusing on 'what is', as he put it. His teaching pointed again and again to not being hobbled by the influence of others, be they those we look up to such as Gurus, Priests and Masters but, also the culture into which we are born, with its deep impact on our conditioned mindset. Our admiration can also include Rulers, Kings or Dictators whose iron hand can impose a sense of order into the confusion and disorder of our lives. Our beliefs, the rules set out by our conditioned past, can prevent us from direct observation and true insight. As a teacher Krishnamurti did not offer comfort or consolation, but rather asked that we take direct responsibility for our actions and to our relationship with others. As the interviews continued under the challenging exploration of both Anderson and Krishnamurti, the topics plumb depths that could only be achieved by those who are able to interact with direct responsiveness. The universality of the topics, ranging in part from questions regarding Fear, Desire, Death, Religion and Authority and lastly Meditation, to offering the widest scope for those willing to face essential questions. The rapport with which the two men interact, the open minded approach to serious issues, indicate not only the depth and passion of their concern but the ability to really listen. Each responding to the other, not as if from across the ravine of pre-held positions, but each looking afresh at every issue as it arises. Lastly, the awakening of that supreme intelligence which does not depend on any authority and which is beyond all thought can only come about from the well-spring of direct perception. Each man, in his own way, makes clear that such perception is possible. (From the Foreword by Evelyne Blau)

The Hidden Wisdom of Fairytales, Parables and Myths

Reflections on Self-Cultivation

By: Allan W. Anderson

In Hidden Wisdom, Professor Anderson introduces the activity of self-transformation or self-cultivation through meditative reflections on so-called nonsense poetry and myth. Central to his thesis is the claim that, “without a willing change in attitude from fear to radical trust, and from reactive bewilderment to active attention no person can leave anxious worry behind and ‘cross over’ to tranquility.” In the spirit of Don Quixote, Anderson contends, “that the road is better than the inn if for no other reason than that the sublime always looks ridiculous in the world of small talk and domestic ease. And yet it is precisely on the ground of the commonplace that every ideal must pitch and strike its tent or fail to own a habitation and a name.”

A Wholly Different Way of Living

By: Jiddu Krishnamurti,Allan W. Anderson

In a time of unprecedented outer change in the political and social spheres, is there a fundamental inner challenge that faces each one of us? In these 18 dialogues, Krishnamurti indicates that pinning hopes on organized religion, science, political ideology or the market economy not only fails to address basic human problems, but actually creates them. Instead, he discusses with Professor Anderson the concept of a wholly different way of living.

Songs from the Mifflinger Sea and a Little Cove of Nonsense

By: Allan W. Anderson

The poems in this short series are written in the manner of Edward Lear’s nonsense poetry. Children easily accept their imagery and music. These poems invite the young at heart to wander, freed from the tiresome limits of ordinary understanding. These poems sometimes take the part of reason when reason laughs at itself. Sometimes a poem sides with feeling. These two postures are not irreconcilably opposed. They meet amicably in the quiet heart, the gateway to the pure land. It is the one without a second which always was and will be, within and among us. Let us call it The Mifflinger Sea.

Text-Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew

Text-Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew

By: David Allan Dawson

Modern linguistics is a relative newcomer in the scientific world, and text-linguistics, or discourse analysis, is one of its youngest disciplines. This fact has inclined many toward scepticism of its value for the Hebraist, yet much benefit is thereby overlooked. In this work, the author examines recent contributions to Hebrew text-linguistics by Niccacci, Andersen, Eskhult, Khan, and Longacre, evaluating them against a twofold standard of theoretical and methodological integrity, and clarity of communication. An extensive introduction to one particularly promising model of text analysis (from Longacre's tagmemic school) is given, and a step-by-step methodology is presented. Analyses according to this model and methodology are given of seven extended text samples, each building on the findings of the previous analyses: Judg. 2; Lev. 14.1-32; Lev. 6.1-7.37; parallel instructions and historical reports about the building of the Tabernacle, from Exodus 25-40; Judg. 10.6-12.7; and the book of Ruth in its entirety. Considerable attention is given to the question of text-linguistics and reported speech.

Institutionalized Learning in America

By: Allan C. Ornstein

Despite the vast amount of research on teaching, very little of it has related overall theoretical perspectives to general principles of teaching and instruction. Keenly aware of this, Ornstein's primary criteria for selection of the material in this book is its value to those concerned with the practice of teaching and instruction and with the interaction of students with teachers. Institutionalized Learning in America mixes theory and practice, presenting proven methods that are based on research and that have been demonstrated to work. No one set of strategies or methods is offered, providing the reader with the opportunity to select from many different approaches. The book is divided into four parts and twenty chapters. Part I, on teaching, provides an overview of research on teaching and teacher effectiveness. Part II, on learning, discusses how information to be learned is organized and taught, as well as how to evaluate what has been learned. Part III, on instruction, emphasizes planning and organizing content and experience in a meaningful way. Part IV deals with effective schools. Institutionalized Learning in America will be of interest to researchers and practitioners of the art of teaching, as well as those interested in applications of cognitive psychology.
