Taking the painting Be I by famous American Abstract Expressionist painter Barnett Newman as a starting point, this paper explores relationships between Mohandas K. Gandhi’s aesthetic life and an emerging aesthetic of nonviolence in the post WWII era. A nonviolent aesthetic is considered in the painting and in relation to two key photographs featured in the exhibition “Experiments with Truth: G...

I summarise and attempt to clarify some concepts presented in and arising from Margaret Boden’s (1990) descriptive hierarchy of creativity, by formalising the ideas she proposes. I exemplify their use by broadly describing the development of art music from the 10th to the 20th century in these more formal terms. I suggest that Boden’s descriptive framework, once elaborated, is more powerful tha...

Paule Marshall’s literary concerns cover key issues of the Black Diaspora such as consciousness and search for wholeness. These two connect with research about different manifestations carried out by scientists physicist Peter Russell, nurse Margaret Newman, philosopher Ken Wilber psychologist Paloma Cabadas. In this essay, I contend that characters experience aspects take them into a process k...

I summarise and attempt to clarify some concepts presented in and arising from Margaret Boden’s (1990) descriptive hierarchy of creativity, by beginning to formalise the ideas she proposes. The aim is to move towards a model which allows detailed comparison, and hence better understanding, of systems which exhibit behaviour which would be called ‘‘creative’’ in humans. The work paves the way fo...

We have investigated the gravitational lensing by two wormholes, viz., Janis Newman-Winnicour (JNW) wormhole and Ellis wormhole. The deflection angle in the strong field limit is calculated and various lens parameters of two wormholes are compared. It is shown that the JNW wormhole exhibits the relativistic images, while the Ellis wormhole does not have any relativistic images due to the absenc...

Background: The initial review of the holistic nursing theories showed that while most definitions of holism share the same attributes, its application to nursing practice has led to much discourse. Aim: This review therefore was carried out to analyze the concept of nursing in three known holistic theories including Rogers, Watson, and Margaret Newman. Method: This concept analysis of nursing ...

The derivation of the Demia´nski–Newman solution within the framework of the Ernst complex formalism is considered. We show that this solution naturally arises as a two–soliton specialization of the axisymmet-ric multi–soliton electrovacuum metric, and we work out the full set of the corresponding metrical fields and electromagnetic potentials. Some limits and physical characteristics of the DN...

The tragically sudden death of Dr. Newman Neild, in the early hours of 4th July, came as a great shock to his patients and friends, as he had been at work less than twelve hours before. There had been, however, certain misgivings in the minds of his professional colleagues during the previous few months, in spite of apparently undiminished energy. Newman Neild was born in Bristol in 1872, and r...
