Download or read book African Philosophy written by Segun Gbadegesin and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1991 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question whether or not there is African philosophy has, for too long, dominated the philosophical scene in Africa, to the neglect of substantive issues generated by the very fact of human existence. This has unfortunately led to an impasse in the development of a distinctive African philosophical tradition. In this path-breaking book, Segun Gbadegesin offers a new and promising approach which recognizes the traditional and contemporary facets of African philosophy by exploring the issues they raise. In Part I, the author examines, with refreshing insights, the philosophical concepts of the person, individuality, community and morality, religiosity and causality, focusing on the Yoruba of Nigeria. Part II discusses, in an original way, contemporary African social, political and economic realities from a philosophical perspective.

Download or read book The Intense Reality of Eternity written by John Carpenter and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind has pondered the existence of life beyond death for centuries. Religions propose a variety of interesting but differing beliefs. So what does actually happen? Initially, science assumed it was some kind of neurological process sparking memory fragments at the moment of death. Having studied thousands of firsthand experiences, science now finds undeniable credibility and fascinating patterns of details that cannot be easily dismissed. These witnesses are from various cultures and countries around the world—yet they report the same types of visual, auditory, and sensory details. People, blind since birth, are seeing and testifying to the same sights that sighted people are also reporting. Preschool children are claiming the same experiences as mature, educated, worldly individuals. Atheists are stunned into becoming devoted to God. What is going on? Author John Carpenter returns with his third book, providing the reader with a breath-taking and inspirational journey through three realms of the afterlife. Instead of recounting hundreds of individual tales as in other books, he constructs a unique experience by orchestrating one composite journey, illustrated by hundreds of firsthand witnesses. Crafting the fascinating pieces of their testimonies into a masterful flowing collection creates an unforgettable journey for the reader. Masterminding this jigsaw puzzle of credible experiences takes the reader where no other book has gone before! But it can be intense—in its joy, love, and beauty—or its nightmarish and dark terrors. Be not afraid. Learn the truth of what people are reporting so that you can navigate your own spiritual journey wisely toward your future place in eternity.
Download or read book Sword and Olive Branch written by John Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver Otis Howard devoted his life to the service of his country, both as a distinguished army officer in two wars and as the founder of two universities. Oliver Otis Howard was a graduate of Bowdoin College and of West Point. Being reared in a pious New England (Maine) atmosphere gave him a deep sense of obligation to lead a Christian life, for the good of others and for the development of his own best self. He was often disturbed by the conflict presented him in his dual career in peace and war.General Howard's strong sense of duty to his country brought about his distinguished career of command during the Civil War--at the Battle of Chancellorsville, itself a disappointing rout, and at Gettysburg, where he recovered any reputation the earlier defeat might have lost him. Under General Sherman, in the Atlanta campaign, and as a leader of the Army of the Tennessee he won special distinction. In total, Howard fought at the First Bull Run, Fair Oaks (where severe wounds forced the amputation of his right arm), Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.The same strong sense of duty made him accept the commission of the Freedmen's Bureau and the promotion of African-American education. Following his service in the Nez Perce Campaign of 1877 he was superintendent of West Point and the founder of Lincoln Memorial University. His greatest service to education, however, was as founder and president of Howard University, where his name and career are held in honor.
