Saadi Shirazi

de Ralph Waldo Emerson

~~2,50€~~ 2,25€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American philosopher essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist Movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and critical thinking, as well as a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society and conformity. Friedrich Nietzsche considered him «the most gifted of the Americans», and Walt Whitman referred to him as his «master». Emerson wrote on a number of subjects, never espousing fixed philosophical tenets, but developing certain ideas such as individuality, freedom, the ability for mankind to realize almost anything, and the relationship between the soul and the surrounding world. In 1864 Emerson published an essay dedicated to the great Persian poet Saadi Shirazi in the periodicalThe Atlantic Monthly. Saadi Shirazi was the major Persian poet and prose writer during the Middle Age. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest poets of the classical literary tradition, earning him the nickname “Master” or “Master of Speech”. He has been quoted in the Western traditions as well, sand hisBustan is universally considered one of the houndred greatest books of all time. Emerson was very interested in Sadi’s writings, contributing to some translated editions himself. Emerson, who read Saadi only in translation, compared his writing to the Bible in terms of its wisdom and the beauty of its narrative. «The Persians have been called "the French of Asia"; and their superior intelligence, their esteem for men of learning, their welcome to Western travellers, and their tolerance of Christian sects in their territory, as contrasted with Turkish fanaticism, would seem to derive from the rich culture of this great choir of poets, perpetually reinforced through five hundred years, which again and again has enabled the Persians to refine and civilize their conquerors, and to preserve a national identity. To the expansion of this influence there is no limit; and we wish that the promised republication may add to the genius of Saadi a new audience in America».

His first two collections of essays,Essays: First Series (1841) andEssays: Second Series (1844), represent the core of his thinking. They include the well-known essaysSelf-Reliance,Spiritual Laws,Heroism,Circles, andExperience. Together withNature, these essays made the decade from the mid-1830s to the mid-1840s Emerson&#39;s most fertile period. The Method of Nature, Emerson&#39;s essay that we propose to our readers today, written in 1841, is one of his most profound and interesting works.

Becoming Well In The Real World

de George Link Spaeth

~~14,41€~~ 12,97€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 George Link Spaeth, a leading world expert in the treatment of glaucoma, reflects on a half-century of curing patients suffering from problems of vision and concludes that many of the most pressing problems affecting society today stem from our inability to see and react to daily life in realistic terms. As a result, many of us live in a perpetual state of dysfunction. As the author explains: "Our capacity to destroy has overwhelmed our ability to protect. Our capacity to hate has drowned our ability to love and our capacity for domination has blinded us to other alternatives. The progress that led to the advantages we enjoy has also sown the seeds of destruction." We cannot really consider ourselves well when we ignore the impact that our actions have on others, and more specifically on nature and the environment which increasingly suffer irreparable damage as a result of human carelessness and lack of foresight. The problem is that we ultimately depend on our environment to make our existence possible. Too often we engage in denial and fool ourselves into thinking that our excesses and bad decisions don't really matter. The cumulative result is a world that appears to be permanently mired in chaos. The solution is for each of us to look at the world more realistically and to become more aware of the impact that we have on life around us.

Pragmatism And Idealism

de William Caldwell

~~1,99€~~ 1,79€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Pragmatism has by this time received so much attention in the reflective literature of the day that any writer upon the subject may now fairly presume upon a general acquaintance with its main principles and contentions. Indeed, it is probable that most thinking people may be credited with the ability to have formed some sort of judgment of their own about a philosophy whose main contention is that true ideas are working ideas, and that truth itself, like a creed or a belief, is simply a working valuation of reality. There are still, however, some things to be said, at least in English, upon the place and the meaning of Pragmatism in the philosophical reconstruction that is generally felt to be so necessary to-day.

Science Proves The Afterlife

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 There is no longer any question, the afterlife is real ..... Objective clinical evidence has now proven post-mortem consciousness survival to be a scientific fact. Objective evidence is the gold standard for scientific proofs, and now we have unequivocal objective clinical data proving that Post Mortem Consciousness Survival is real. Indeed, The individual consciousness (spirit, soul) has been proven to survive the death of the physical body, and movies on to occupy an alternative dimension. While we can not say "where" that alternative dimension is located in the spacial sense of 3-D, yet, the fact that consciousness continues to operate in an undiscerned "location", while the brain is not functioning and the heart is stopped, proves that a functioning brain is not required to support consciousness. Also, the discovery of Dark Energy and Dark Matter proves that Classical Materialist science is currently unable to discern 96% of the universe. String theory postulates that this undiscerned Dark Energy and Dark Matter must contain eight additional dimensions. ... This leaves a lot of "room" and great deal of cosmic energy for surviving consciousnesses to persist within. Finally, real After Death Communications-ADC has been proven to occur between individual post mortem surviving consciousnesses and consciousnesses still living in the physical, through the parallel phenomenon of Evidential Mediumship and poltergeist activities.

The Natural Theologian - Essays On Nature And The Christian Life

de Joel B Carini

~~9,59€~~ 8,63€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Both our secular culture and our Christian discourse suffer from a lack of appreciation of nature. "Nature" describes the world as we find it, created by God, broken by the fall, exhibiting both stability and change. It is denied in different ways by postmodernists, progressives, evolutionary naturalists, technologists, and transhumanists, but also by Christian fundamentalists and ideologues who fail to recognize the goodness of creation and the possibility and necessity of natural, human knowledge. In this book, theologian and philosopher Joel Carini argues for a new theological perspective that gives place to nature and to empirical sources of information in Christian theology. This new approach allows for healthy intellectual interaction with secular thought and other religious traditions and leads to surprising and significant conclusions.

de George M. Brockway Ph.D.

~~5,29€~~ 4,76€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book, Essays in Search of Understanding, covers a wide range of topics from "Puzzles and Problems in Buddhism" to so-called "unconditional love." Many of them are short and pithy, meant more as discussion starters than as something authoritative and final. But all of them reflect considerable thought and inquiry. Thoughts and lines of argument which may well both spark your own interest and further your own thinking on these topics. But the book is not an exercise in technical or academic philosophy. Reading and understanding it does not require an advanced degree in philosophy, it only requires an interest in any of the various subject matters and a willingness to wrestle with ideas. The shortness of many of the essays and their open-endedness are meant to invite the reader into an evening's discussion. It can often be both challenging and enlightening to come to 'see' what you actually believe about a topic or, even more surprising, what your beliefs about a particular subject commit you to believing about still other subjects.

Specifically, the contributions focus on a detailed investigation of the relation between structuralism and modern mathematics. In addition, this book provides a closer understanding of the relation between symbolic logic and previous traditions such as syllogistics.

Beyond Good And Evil

de Friedrich Nietzsche

~~3,83€~~ 3,45€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "Fired with a fearless iconoclasm which surpassed the wildest dreams of contemporary free thought" -The New York Times Beyond Good and Evilis one of the most scathing and powerful critiques of philosophy, religion, science, politics and ethics ever written - an essential summary of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy. One of the most iconoclastic philosophers of all time, Nietzsche dramatically rejected notions of good and evil, truth and God.Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most remarkable and influential books of the nineteenth century. Beyond Good and Evil represents Nietzsche's attempt to sum up his philosophy. It demonstrates that the world is steeped in false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and subversive energy, Nietzsche demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world.In nine parts the book is designed to give the reader a comprehensive idea of Nietzsche's thought and style: they span "The Prejudices of Philsophers," "The Free Spirit," religion, morals, scholarship, "Our Virtues," "Peoples and Fatherlands," and "What Is Noble," as well as epigrams and a concluding poem."He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee."- Friedrich NietzscheAbout the AuthorFriedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture, who became one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. His attempts to unmask the motives that underlie traditional Western religion, morality, and philosophy deeply affected generations of theologians, philosophers, psychologists, poets, novelists, and playwrights. He thought through the consequences of the triumph of the Enlightenment's secularism, expressed in his observation that "God is dead," in a way that determined the agenda for many of Europe's most-celebrated intellectuals after his death. He was an ardent foe of nationalism, anti-Semitism, and power politics. Nietzsche once wrote that some men are born posthumously, and that is certainly true in his case. The history of philosophy, theology, and psychology since the early 20th century is unintelligible without him. Nietzsche's great influence is due not only to his originality but also to the fact that he was one of the German language's most-brilliant prose writers.

Rene Descartes'S Natural Philosophy And Particular Bodies

de Fabrizio Baldassarri

~~131,84€~~ 118,66€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book explores Rene Descartes's attempts to describe particular bodies, such as rocks, minerals, metals, plants, and animals, within the mechanistic interpretation of nature of his philosophical program. Despite his early rationalistic epistemology, Descartes's increasing attention to collections, histories, lists of qualities, and particular bodies results in a puzzling 'short history of all natural phenomena' contained in the Principles of philosophy (1644). The present book outlines the role of Descartes's observations and experimentation as he aimed to construct a universal science of nature, ultimately revealing the mechanization of nature in detail, and for curious bodies such as the Bologna Stone or the sensitive herb. What results is a theoretical natural history consistent with the mechanical principles of his philosophy, ultimately shedding new light on his attempt to produce a complete philosophy of nature.

It proposes that it is necessary to combine cross-disciplinary methods to arrive at a more complete understanding of how our minds work.

This book therefore illuminates the conceptual intricacy underlying the Theory of Mind. It posits that a wide scope is necessary to make a breakthrough in scientific research towards a full understanding of the nature, function, and development of our capacity to converge on biological processes of the brain towards consciousness, emotion, awareness, and cognition. The volume presents methods, results, critiques, and models intended to provoke debates in various academic disciplines. It is of interest to scholars working in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and artificial intelligence.

If the God you know teaches hate, not love, then it is not God you know.The book also reflects on the nature of personal relationships with God. Special emphasis on American values and hubris is included, as is an "Epistle to the Children."It is hoped that the reader will learn from this book--about themselves and about their world--and that the reader will attain a closer, deeper relationship with the God they recognize.

Think - In Defence Of A Thoughtful Life

de Svend Brinkmann

~~17,21€~~ 15,49€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A defining feature of being human is our ability to think. We refer to ourselves, after all, as Homo sapiens. But in a world where experiencing and achieving as much as possible is the number one preoccupation, there is little room for reflection. Technology is also making everything easier, eroding the need for us to think at all. Of course deep, critical thinking can be difficult, sometimes painful, and it takes time. But it is fundamental to our well-being. In this new book, bestselling philosopher and psychologist Svend Brinkmann argues for a return to the thoughtful life, where we learn to think well, to think deeply, to lose ourselves in reverie and tune in to our inner voice. By spending time in our thoughts and letting them wander freely, we will discover that thinking is one of the most enriching things we can do in life and one of the most human, too.

 <h4>Enjoy nine (9) of Fulton J. Sheen's most treasured books on the Seven Last Words brought together into this one special collection. </h4> During the 1930s and '40s, Fulton Sheen was the featured speaker on The Catholic Hour radio broadcast, and millions of listeners heard his radio addresses each week. His topics ranged from politics and the economy to philosophy and man's eternal pursuit of happiness. Possessing a burning zeal to dispel the myths about Our Lord and His Church, Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ's Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2). During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given this type of reflection on the subject of Christ's seven last words from the cross "for the fifty-eighth consecutive time." Whether from the young priest in Peoria, Illinois, the university professor in Washington, D.C., or the bishop in New York, Sheen's messages were sure to make an indelible mark on his listeners. Given their importance and the impact they had on society, it seemed appropriate to bring together in this anthology some of Archbishop Sheen's meditations on the Seven Last Words Our Blessed Lord spoke from the Cross on Calvary. The meditations contained in this book are taken from several books and articles written by Sheen between 1933 and 1945.<ul><li>The Seven Last Words. (New York: Century, 1933)</li><li>The Seven Last Words and the Our Father. (Huntington, Indiana: Our Sunday Visitor 1935)</li><li>Calvary and the Mass. (New York: P. J.

Kenedy and Sons, 1944)</li><li>Seven Words of Jesus and Mary. (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons,1945)</li></ul> These mediations have been selected to provide nine unique reflections for study and meditation on the Seven Last Words.<ul><li>First Meditation - A reflection on the words spoken by Christ from the Cross.</li><li>Second Meditation - A reflection on a passage from the Lord's Prayer.</li><li>Third Meditation - A reflection on a part of the Mass.</li><li>Fourth Meditation - A reflection on one of the Beatitudes.</li><li>Fifth Meditation - A reflection about sorrow and suffering.</li><li>Sixth Meditation - A reflection addressing one of the seven deadly sins.</li><li>Seventh Meditation - A reflection on the virtues.</li><li>Eighth Meditation - A reflection on dealing with individuals who reject the Church and Christ's teachings.</li><li>Ninth Meditation - A reflection on the unity of Jesus and Mary.</li></ul> As the reader ponders these reflections, they might have to pause for a moment or two over a sentence that is full of deep meaning that stirs the heart. He might also find that Archbishop Sheen has repeated certain lines throughout these reflections to drive home a point or an important theme, as any good teacher would do. Archbishop Sheen's dynamic personality combined with his brilliant mind, tireless pen, and eloquent voice has made him one of the best-known figures in the world. His radio and television appearances have been phenomenally successful and are still viewed today. His books and magazine articles continue to gratify and attract a boundless circle of readers.

Seven Words To The Cross

de Fulton J. Sheen

~~3,83€~~ 3,45€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is a collection of sermons from Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen where he speaks about seven different groups of people found at the foot of the cross at Calvary over 2,000 years ago and how these groups are still present today. There are millions of souls in this great country of ours who have no religion whatsoever. Their attitudes vary from an earnest yearning for religion to an intense hatred of it. It is quite possible that all of them could be reduced to seven distinct categories. Our Lord spoke seven times from the Cross - and these are called His Seven Last Words. But those who were on Calvary's Hill that afternoon addressed seven words to Him on the Cross, thus revealing the seven different impacts the Cross makes on souls. The seven words, which Our Lord spoke from the Cross were not specific answers to specific challenges, but they do reveal lessons applicable to the challenge. TO THE HUMANISTS"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."TO THE SINNERS "This day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." TO THE SELFISH"Woman, behold thy son! (Son) Behold thy mother!" TO THE INTELLIGENTSIA"My God! My God! Why hast Thou hast abandoned Me?" TO THE MODERNS"I thirst." TO THE SENSATIONALISTS"It is finished." TO THE THINKERS"Father, into Thy Hands, I commend My Spirit." Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was a man for all seasons. Over his lifetime, he spent himself for souls, transforming lives with the clear teaching of the truths of Christ and His Church through his books, his radio addresses, his lectures, his television series, and his many newspaper columns.The topics of this much-sought-after lecturer ranged from the social concerns of the day to matters of faith and morals. With an easy and personable manner, Sheen could strike up a conversation on just about any subject, making numerous friends as well as converts. During the 1930s and '40s, Fulton Sheen was the featured speaker on The Catholic Hour radio broadcast, and millions of listeners heard his radio addresses each week. His topics ranged from politics and the economy to philosophy and man's eternal pursuit of happiness.Along with his weekly radio program, Sheen wrote dozens of books and pamphlets. One can safely say that through his writings, thousands of people changed their perspective about God and the Church. Sheen was quoted as saying, "There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be." Possessing a burning zeal to dispel the myths about Our Lord and His Church, Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ's Passion and His seven last words from the Cross.

Given their importance and the impact they had on society, it seemed appropriate to reintroduce these reflections once again on the seven words spoken to the Cross.
