Download or read book Charles Darwin written by Michael Ruse and published by Katz Editores. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin es, sin dudas, el arquitecto de la moderna biología evolutiva. Pero 'El origen de las especies' es mucho más que una teoría biológica: es un conjunto de principios que comportan un tremendo impacto filosófico más allá de los límites de la ciencia natural. Y, dado que las hipótesis de Darwin involucran a la humanidad, se hace necesario examinar minuciosamente sus implicaciones éticas y epistemológicas. Michael Ruse, autoridad mundialmente reconocida en la historia y en la filosofía del darwinismo, ofrece en esta obra el análisis definitivo de la naturaleza filosófica del pensamiento de Darwin, y de su impacto no solamente sobre las ciencias naturales sino también sobre las ciencias humanas. Con un lenguaje claro, desprovisto de tecnicismos, Ruse establece con precisión el estatuto del pensamiento evolucionista como una teoría genuina, las implicaciones filosóficas, epistemológicas y éticas del darwinismo, así como su impacto en las modernas explicaciones naturalistas de la religión, y discute muchos de los sentimientos y supuestos antidarwinistas expuestos por los creyentes del movimiento creacionista. "Este libro es una introducción sin igual para quien pretenda entender el darwinismo y sus implicaciones sobre la naturaleza, la naturaleza humana, el conocimiento, la moral y la religión." 'Richard A. Richards', University of Alabama "Michael Ruse es una superestrella entre los académicos interesados en Darwin y en el darwinismo. Si usted quiere el mejor cuadro pintado por un brillante académico, Ruse es la elección evidente." 'Joseph Cain', University College, Londres

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El sociólogo venezolano Daniel Andrade nos plantea una interesante reflexión actual sobre el legadodel padre del evolucionismo. ¿Cómo concilió Darwin sus teorías científicas con sus creencias religiosas? Su teoría revolucionó la sociedad de su tiempo ofreciendo un enfoque que nada tenía que ver con lo religioso. En pleno siglo XXI las preguntas que nos hacemos y las cuestiones que debatimos muestran la centralidad de alguna de las ideas que el darwinismo difundió por el mundo: religión, relatos bíblicos, Dios, la creación…
Download or read book The Reception of Charles Darwin in Europe written by Eve-Marie Engels and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2008-12-03 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin is a crucial figure in nineteenth-century science with an extensive and varied reception in different countries and disciplines. His theory had a revolutionary impact not only on biology, but also on other natural sciences and the new social sciences. The term 'Darwinism', already popular in Darwin's lifetime, ranged across many different areas and ideological aspects, and his own ideas about the implications of evolution for human cognitive, emotional, social and ethical capacities were often interpreted in a way that did not mirror his own intentions. The implications for religious, philosophical and political issues and institutions remain as momentous today as in his own time. This volume conveys the many-sidedness of Darwin's reception and exhibit his far-reaching impact on our self- understanding as human beings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este libro innovador, J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, y Clare Aukofer, ofrecen un estudio completo pero sucinto de cómo y por qué la mente humana genera la creencia religiosa. Dr. Thomson, un psiquiatra muy respetado con credenciales y práctica en psiquiatría forense y psicología evolutiva, investiga metódicamente los componentes y las causas de las creencias religiosas de la misma manera que cualquier científico investigaría el movimiento de los cuerpos celestes o la evolución de la vida a través del tiempo, es decir, como un fenómeno puramente natural. Proporcionando evidencia convincente de la psicología, las neurociencias cognitivas, y otros campos relacionados, él, y la Sra. Aukofer, presentan un caso convincente de fácil acceso y con carácter excepcional que dios (es) fueron creados por el hombre, y no viceversa. Con este libro de bolsillo, el Dr. Thomson se establece como un pensador de lectura obligatoria y la voz líder en la primacía de la razón y de la ciencia sobre la superstición y la religión. In this groundbreaking volume, J. Anderson Thomson Jr., MD, and Clare Aukofer offer a succinct yet comprehensive study of how and why the human mind generates religious belief. Dr. Thomson, a highly respected practicing psychiatrist with credentials in forensic psychiatry and evolutionary psychology, methodically investigates the components and causes of religious belief in the same way any scientist would investigate the movement of astronomical bodies or the evolution of life over time—that is, as a purely natural phenomenon. Providing compelling evidence from psychology, the cognitive neurosciences, and related fields, he, with Ms. Aukofer, presents an easily accessible and exceptionally convincing case that god(s) were created by man—not vice versa. With this slim volume, Dr. Thomson establishes himself as a must-read thinker and leading voice on the primacy of reason and science over superstition and religion.

Download or read book John William Draper and the Religion of Science written by Donald Fleming and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A whole chapter of nineteenth-century history is condensed in the phrase "the conflict between religion and science," with our Mother Eve and the proto-Ape jostling for places at the head of the family tree. An outstanding figure in the center of this intellectual conflict was John William Draper, author of History of the Intellectual Development of Modern Europe and The Conflict Between Religion and Science, which played an important part in intellectual debates for many years. Draper helped break new ground for an age of science, and brought to the level of laymen some of the issues with which they must grapple in the future. However, he had the gift of the great popularizer for seeming to leaven the loaf of tradition, instead of throwing it away, and succeeded in lending to new ideas the appearance of old ones. His work is an excellent case history of the way in which innovations are knit up into continuity with tradition and revolutions in thought are made palatable.
Download or read book Science and Catholicism in Argentina 1750 1960 written by Miguel de Asúa and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and Catholicism in Argentina (1750–1960) is the first comprehensive study on the relationship between science and religion in a Spanish-speaking country with a Catholic majority and a "Latin" pattern of secularisation. The text takes the reader from Jesuit missionary science in colonial times, through the conflict-ridden 19th century, to the Catholic revival of the 1930s in Argentina. The diverse interactions between science and religion revealed in this analysis can be organised in terms of their dynamic of secularisation. The indissoluble identification of science and the secular, which operated at rhetorical and institutional levels among the liberal elite and the socialists in the 19th century, lost part of its force with the emergence of Catholic scientists in the course of the 20th century. In agreement with current views that deny science the role as the driving force of secularisation, this historical study concludes that it was the process of secularisation that shaped the interplay between religion and science, not the other way around.
Download or read book World Christianity and Ecological Theologies written by Raimundo C. Barreto and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Christianity and Ecological Theologies invites scholars in religious studies and theology from different continents and contexts to a North-South dialogue on environmental ethics, political ecology, and ecofeminism. Throughout the global pandemic, the connection between environmental rapacity, religion, and political interests has once again called scholarly attention to the important conversation on public religion and global environment-related issues. Acknowledging a deficit among scholars of World Christianity in addressing environmental concerns and the field's limited language for framing those concerns, this book aims to bring the fields of study of World Christianity, religion, and ecology into a sustained conversation, with the goal of expanding the theoretical horizons of these fields. World Christianity and Ecological Theologies reiterates that all Christian theologies are contextual, as they shape and are shaped by specific historical and cultural circumstances. It aims at showcasing the ways in which the intersection of religion and ecology is approached by scholars in religious studies and theology in the Global South or by those in conversation with them in the Global North, pointing to what can be generated if these bodies of scholarship are engaged as dialogue partners to investigate new patterns of religious environmentalism.

Download or read book Marxismo norteamericano American Marxism Spanish Edition written by Mark R. Levin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BESTSELLER #1 DEL NEW YORK TIMES Mark R. Levin, autor seis veces bestseller #1 del New York Times, estrella de Fox News y presentador de radio, regresa para explicar cómo aquellos peligros sobre los que nos advirtió hace una década finalmente han ocurrido…y lo que se debe hacer ahora para hacerlos retroceder. Mark R. Levin movilizó a los conservadores en 2009 con Libertad y tiranía, el cual brindó un marco filosófico, histórico y práctico para detener el ataque liberal contra los valores basados en la Constitución, que hizo su aparición durante los años de Obama. Ese libro hablaba de que estábamos parados frente al precipicio del ataque del progresismo a nuestras libertades, desde la economía hasta la atención médica, y desde el calentamiento global hasta la inmigración. Ahora, más de una década después, hemos ido más allá de ese precipicio…y estamos pagando el precio. En Marxismo norteamericano, Levin explica cómo hoy en día los elementos centrales de la ideología marxista se han generalizado en la sociedad y la cultura estadounidenses—desde nuestras instituciones educativas, la prensa y las corporaciones hasta Hollywood, el partido Demócrata y la presidencia de Biden—y cómo a menudo se la disfraza con rótulos engañosos como “progresismo,” “socialismo democrático,” “activismo social,” y “activismo comunitario”. Con su característico análisis incisivo, Levin se sumerge en la psicología y las tácticas de estos movimientos de masas, el extendido lavado de cerebro de estudiantes, los propósitos antiestadounidenses de la Teoría Crítica de la Raza y del Green New Deal y la escalada de represión y censura para silenciar a voces opositoras e imponer la conformidad. Levin expone a un gran número de instituciones, intelectuales, académicos y activistas que lideran esta revolución, y nos brinda algunas respuestas e ideas sobre cómo confrontarlos. Como escribe Levin: “La contrarrevolución a la Revolución norteamericana está en pleno vigor. Y ya no puede ser desestimada ni ignorada, porque está devorando a nuestra sociedad y a nuestra cultura, rondando en nuestras vidas cotidianas y omnipresente en nuestra política, en nuestras escuelas, en los medios y en la industria del entretenimiento”. Y, tal como hizo antes, Levin busca unir al pueblo estadounidense para que defienda su libertad.
Download or read book Los de Arriba Y Sus Armas Mas Efectivas written by Miguel Javier and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-01-29 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La comunidad mundial, y especialmente la de Latinoamérica, por influencia de un grupo muy pequeño de inhumanos, ha actuado por siglos inconsciente de las verdades que rigen su manera de pensar y actuar ante determinadas circunstancias ignorando el porqué de una actitud completamente inductiva. No es casualidad que abracemos con ilógico conformismo un destino que besa con labios de serpiente y acaricia con dedos de navaja los frágiles cuerpos de hombres y mujeres autómatas que inocentemente ponen en manos de sus verdugos el afilado cuchillo que traspasara sus mismas gargantas.
Los De Arriba Y Sus Armas Más Efectivas presenta, de una manera clara y responsable, las estrategias usadas en las naciones por sectores internos y externos de ilimitado poder, para dar justificación a medios de control humanos que, implementados de una manera directa, serian simplemente rechazados por sus destinatarios. Este libro lleva a reconsiderar una amplia gama de irregularidades sociales toxicas que por largo tiempo han estado impregnadas en nuestras programadas mentes lo cual ha dado como resultado un descuido de grandes proporciones, y hemos caído en el gravísimo error de percibirlas como problemas fortuitos omitiendo adjudicarles un culpable.
Mediante la recopilación de datos y eventos históricos; fabulas y experiencias verídicas, esta obra también muestra sin tapujos como los desastres naturales y sociales, contrario a lo que muchos creen, son provocados o –en gran parte-tienen que ver directamente con el opaco y poco confiable mundo de la política. Esta obra es también un homenaje a países y personas admirables que con sus firmes pisadas y decisiones irreprochables han hecho posible el rostro positivo de este libro.

Download or read book The Gospel According to Darwin written by Woods Hutchinson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. The purpose of a preface is twofold. First, to disarm, in advance, the criticism of the reader - not to mention the reviewer. Second, to explain what the author would have done - if he could. To the former end I wish simply to say that it is in no sense the purpose of this little volume to furnish a system of ethical or religious thought, or the germ of a new religion, as perhaps its title might lead some to infer, least of all to enunciate truths which are original with, or peculiar to its author. It is merely an attempt to get a bird's-eye view of a few of the influences affecting human hope and human happiness from the standpoint of that view of and attitude towards the universe which is best expressed by the term Darwinism. This term is not used of course in the narrow sense of the personal views of Charles Darwin in contrast with those of other evolutionists, be they his predecessors or his successors, but simply as typifying the evolutionary movement and its wonderful consequences by the name of its greatest thinker and ablest champion, who first made the theory of evolution credible or even thinkable. Its effort is to show that this attitude possesses a broad and secure basis for courage and happiness in the present and hope for the future. In other words, that its faith is as steadfast, its "consolations" as great, and its spirit of worship as profound and as powerful as those of revealed religion. That the message of the gospel according to Darwin, is in truth "good news," "glad tidings; that the natural is as wonderful, as beautiful, as divine, as the supernatural. It is no longer necessary to limit our worship to the mysterious. No conception of Heaven, which has ever been formed, represents as great an improvement upon the existing state of affairs as has occurred every two thousand years in the actual history of the race. A triumphal, upward march, unbroken for fifty million of years, and which still continues, in which we are keeping step, every day, is at least as worthy of our gratitude, our worship, our trust, as anything supernaturalism has to offer. Far from destroying or antagonizing the religious instinct, the spirit of worship, Darwinism broadens and quickens it. But while recognizing its wonderful value, and according it a high rank in the parliament of instincts, it absolutely declines to recognize it as perpetual dictator. Religion is but one of several great influences which make up human life and determine human conduct. Like any other instinct, indulged in the proper place, it is beneficent, ennobling in its results; but carried into spheres where it has no authority, it becomes injurious and degrading. Darwinism has no quarrel with religion, only with its excesses.

This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 873 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aniversario 27 de la investigación bioenergemal ['espiritual']. Patriarcas, profetas, Buda, Jesús, María, José y socios, lamas y Mahoma se disculpan con sus seguidores por el milenario engaño que han promovido. Todas las figuras religiosas se promueven parasitando sueños, provocando en el soñante escenas e imágenes favorables o desfavorables según a ellas les convenga. Sin este recurso, ellas no hubieran podido publicitarse. Dudas como éstas del Concilio Vaticano II quizá propiciaron el biocolapso ['fallecimiento'] de Juan XXIII. No obstante, este libro no es sobre las religiones, sino acerca de quiénes las figuras religiosas, y muchas personas más, fueron y son. ¡Información excepcional!

This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Jesuit contributions to European expansion in the early modern period have attracted considerable scholarly interest, the legacy of José de Acosta (1540–1600) is still defined by his contributions to natural history. The Theologian and the Empire presents a new biography of Acosta, focused on his participation in colonial and imperial politics. The most important Jesuit active in the Americas in the sixteenth century, Acosta was fundamentally a political operator. His actions on both sides of the Atlantic informed both Peruvian colonial life and the Jesuit order at the dawn of the seventeenth century.
