Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume explore some of the disconcerting realities of fanaticism, by analyzing its unique dynamics, and considering how it can be productively confronted. The book features both analytic and continental philosophical approaches to fanaticism. Working at the intersections of epistemology, philosophy of emotions, political philosophy, and philosophy of religion, the contributors address a range of questions related to this increasingly relevant, yet widely neglected topic. What are the distinctive features of fanaticism? What are its causes, motivations, and reasons? In what ways, if at all, is fanaticism epistemically, ethically, and politically problematic? And how can fanaticism be combatted or curtailed? The Philosophy of Fanaticism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in epistemology, philosophy of religion, philosophy of emotions, moral psychology, and political philosophy.

Download or read book 100 Answers to Questions from the Neighborhoods written by Tim Wallingford and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 Answers to Questions from the Neighborhoods: Personal Evangelism Done Jesus Style Companion Study Guide is a modern-day application of Jesus and the apostles strategy to fulfill the Great Commission. In just 30 years their evangelistic method was bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world (Colossians 1:6)! Did you know Jesus walked over 3,000 miles through neighborhoods throughout Palestine? In Matthew 10, Jesus commanded his disciples to go into a neighborhood, find a worthy person and stay at their home. From there they went out and met the neighbors. The disciples then showed love to those they met by meeting any physical need(s). Only then would they share Gods love story, the gospel of Christ. This was also Jesus personal strategy. Today most evangelistic plans involve attracting the neighbors into the church. Churches do this with events, dynamic worship services, and quality programs for every member of the family. Many churches do this well but sadly the American church is in decline. Less than 20% of Americans now regularly attend church. In 1990, 20.4% attended church. In 2000, the percentage dropped to 18.7%. By the year 2050 if the church doesnt change, it is estimated church attendance will drop to 11.7%. This can be reversed if we adopt the evangelistic strategy used by Jesus and the apostles. This book gives you a detailed breakdown of the gospel the apostle Peter presented on the Day of Pentecost that ended with 3,000 baptisms in one day! The book will also show you how Luke, the author or Acts, packaged the never-changing gospel to ten different types of neighborsthe hurting, religious, spiritualist, seeker, fanatic, good person, abuser, skeptic, misinformed and pleasure seeker. This book and its training manual identify over one hundred questions about spiritual matters and help you have the answers your neighbors need to hear!

Book excerpt: A comprehensive and scholarly exploration of the personal and philosophical origins of André Gorz's work, this book includes a unique analysis of his early untranslated texts, as well as critical discussion of his relationship to the work of Husserl, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Marx and Habermas.

Download or read book In Vivo written by Gabor Csepregi and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The course of human life, punctuated by unexpected and transformative moments, is never uniform. What are the characteristics of such life-defining moments, what responses do they evoke, and how do they transform the lives of those who experience them? In Vivo explores foundational questions and pivotal moments of the human experience – engagement with a foreign culture, the decision to break free from unfortunate experiences, a generous action undertaken in the context of an otherwise regular day – in terms of their life-altering potential. Through illustrative examples, both real and fictional, Csepregi reveals the primacy of personal feelings in shaping human life and demonstrates the formative power of spontaneity outside the traditional context of formal education. These moments, and particularly the way they disrupt ordinary temporal order, Csepregi argues, are the lived experiences of our vitality. In an age marked by increasing anxiety about the homogenizing tendencies of contemporary life, In Vivo is timely and revelatory. Informed by a range of philosophical thinking and examples from art, music, and literature, it illustrates opportunities for meaningful reflection that are available to everyone, and urges the reader to engage with them.

Download or read book The Crash of A Civilization written by Kanchan Banerjee and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2022-07-13 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Current condition of each citizen, the society, and the nation are the result of a deeply complex history. But what we know from history books, especially academic textbooks, are constructs based on the narratives of political powers, colonists, and outdated socioeconomic analysts. The time has come to know and understand our true history from fresh and updated perspectives. The subject of this book is how foreign ideologies and forces Christian, Islamic, and later colonists, western and Marxists' profound and long-term influence have impacted India, her society, and people. With a computer science back- ground, Kanchan Banerjee makes this remarkable and significant contribution, attempting to depict the current era with unique and lively storytelling using carefully studied evidence, logical deduction, and analysis. He has given detailed and comprehensive descriptions and assessments from pre-Islamic Arabia's history, foreign attacks and invasions of the Huns, the Turks to the Islamic rule and occupation in Delhi, and the British colonial and imperial atrocities. How did the crash and fall of a great ancient civilization happen? How has it been wounded the body and soul of a nation to break into several pieces? And what is the way to change the direction to the path of recovery and revival? This book is an effort to find the answers to these questions from our true history. If we know our past, we can change our future as well.
