Download or read book Corrupted Root Corrupta Radix written by Jean Harris Anderson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-02-05 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ~THE FIRST AND LAST KING SERIES~ Eschatological novels of beauty and sensitivity! The setting of a 21st Century university medical center, for scientific and technological research, catapults the reader into a supernatural journey from where C.S. Lewis ended his prophetic warnings in his apocalyptic space trilogy, THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH. * Begin by understanding there is a universal plot to obliterate the image of God in the human. That’s the synopsis of this fictional account, but it is also the factual summary for life on our own planet. * Humankind, on the verge of extinction, pushed over the threshold of technological evolution, had a choice of everlasting life promised by two rival kings. The global population had entered a spiraling future by accepting a radical, interconnected surveillance state – a social, economic, technologic and scientific experiment regulating their behavior, forcing a segmentation and inevitable polarization of the Homo sapiens. * Anderson is the author of three previous novels, a collection read as a series, though each effectively stand alone: ELIZEUM STRIVING, journal one, PARADOX, THE NORM follows, and book three, A HAVEN NO LONGER.
Download or read book The Theology of Liberalism written by Eric Nelson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our most important political theorists pulls the philosophical rug out from under modern liberalism, then tries to place it on a more secure footing. We think of modern liberalism as the novel product of a world reinvented on a secular basis after 1945. In The Theology of Liberalism, one of the country’s most important political theorists argues that we could hardly be more wrong. Eric Nelson contends that the tradition of liberal political philosophy founded by John Rawls is, however unwittingly, the product of ancient theological debates about justice and evil. Once we understand this, he suggests, we can recognize the deep incoherence of various forms of liberal political philosophy that have emerged in Rawls’s wake. Nelson starts by noting that today’s liberal political philosophers treat the unequal distribution of social and natural advantages as morally arbitrary. This arbitrariness, they claim, diminishes our moral responsibility for our actions. Some even argue that we are not morally responsible when our own choices and efforts produce inequalities. In defending such views, Nelson writes, modern liberals have implicitly taken up positions in an age-old debate about whether the nature of the created world is consistent with the justice of God. Strikingly, their commitments diverge sharply from those of their proto-liberal predecessors, who rejected the notion of moral arbitrariness in favor of what was called Pelagianism—the view that beings created and judged by a just God must be capable of freedom and merit. Nelson reconstructs this earlier “liberal” position and shows that Rawls’s philosophy derived from his self-conscious repudiation of Pelagianism. In closing, Nelson sketches a way out of the argumentative maze for liberals who wish to emerge with commitments to freedom and equality intact.
Download or read book Corrupt Cultures Cheating In Science And Society written by Roy Yorke Calne and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with cheating in Science and the harm that it does, concentrating on three disasters in cell culture, which caused international concern and personal tragedy for the perpetrators. There is an overview of plant, animal and human cheating, providing a background to the focus on Science. This demands a special form of truth in that claims need to be substantiated by repetition in independent laboratories to confirm that the claims work. The nature of originality is examined in art and Science.An attempt has been made to determine the background and motives for cheating in Science in the certain knowledge that it will be unmasked leading to scandal.Advice is given to the young Scientist and suggestions have been made as to how fraud in Science could be reduced by more regulated supervision. There is a need to revise the regulations and assessment of claims of originality and the whole review process of journals to avoid publishing fake data.This text is unusual in focusing on three well-documented cases. The data should not have been published in high impact journals if more rigorous review had been made. Journals should require independent repetition of claims that seem to be 'too good to be true'. This little book should be of considerable interest to young scientists, historians of science and editors of scientific journals. The general reader might find it fascinating to learn how science works or does not work.
