Download or read book The Eternal Storyteller written by Vibeke Boerdahl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese storytelling has survived through more than a millennium into our own time, while similar oral arts have fallen into oblivion in the West. Under the main heading of 'The Eternal Storyteller', in August 1996 the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies hosted an International Workshop on Oral Literature in Modern China. To this meeting, the first of its kind in Europe, five special guests were invited - master tellers from Yangzhou: Wang Xizotang, Li Xintang, Fei Zhengliang, Dai Buzhang and Hui Zhaolong. The volume derived from this meeting includes an introductory article written by John Miles Foley entitled 'A Comparative View on Oral Traditions'. Thereafter, a wide range of topics relating to Chinese oral literature is covered under the headings: 'Historical Lines', 'A Spectrium of Genres', 'Studies of Yangzhou and Suzhou Story- telling' and 'Performances of Yangzhou Storytelling'. However, the present volume does more than include papers derived from the meeting. It is also lavishly illustrated in word and picture from performances by the guest-storytellers. In so doing, the world of Chinese story telling is not just described and analysed - it is also brought to life.

Download or read book The Thinking Christian written by Gene Wesley Marshall and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of Christianity is going through a transition that is deeper than the Reformation. The Thinking Christian explores two main questions: (1) What is “religion” as a general social process that can link humans to Profound Reality, and (2) what is a meaningful and appropriate mode of Christian theologizing, communal life, and mission to this planet for a viable and vital next Christian practice? These are profound probes, and they are communal and activist guidelines for general readers. Such union of the profound and the practical pertains to the needs of scholars as well.

Download or read book Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind written by Andrew Butler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine you learn that your lover has had you erased from their memory and, in a moment of despair, you have your lover erased from your memory too. Imagine that as you lose your recollections of the bad times together, you realise that you don't want to forget them after all. That's the premise for Charlie Kaufman's Oscar-winning script for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. An instant cult classic, the film's distinctive ambiguity and tangled narrative demands audience engagement and repeated watching. Delving into the central themes of the film, Andrew M. Butler foregrounds its play with genre and audience expectations, its psychoanalytic underpinnings and its debt to Philip K. Dick. Also examining its production processes, Butler explores the against-type casting of Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in lead roles and the intertwined careers of Kaufman and director Michel Gondry. This special edition features original cover artwork by Patricia Derks.

Download or read book The Paradoxes of Modernity written by Zachary Simpson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A paradox lies at the heart of modernity: the simultaneous demand to create ideas to make us better humans and communities, along with the contrary imperative that we criticize all ideals, especially the ones we have created. In philosophy we see this paradox most acutely in figures like Immanuel Kant, who states that we cannot know the essence of things and yet we must retain old ideas – God, freedom, and the soul – in order to become better and more ethical humans. Or in Friedrich Nietzsche, whose eternal recurrence, a self-created myth whose sole purpose is to get us to see the value in the everyday. This basic scheme – belief and un-belief – is one of the fundamental elements of modernity, manifesting itself in the philosophies of Herbert Marcuse and Michel Foucault, along with the theologies of Blaise Pascal, C.S. Lewis, William James, Sallie McFague, and Philip Clayton. How do we live out the values we know to be constructions? This question holds captive our ability to solve public goods problems and make our lives more meaningful. Instead of seeing this paradox of modernity as self-deception or bad faith, Zachary Simpson employs cognitive and social scientific research to explain how best to realize values that we know to be false: through art, community, and ritual. In Simpson's account, the values we construct must conform to narrative, be reinforced through community, and habituated through ritual. And yet modernity has also undermined collectivity and ritual. Thus arises the second paradox of modernity: the best tools we have for realizing values are those which devalue the individual modern subject.The last part of the book attempts to make three normative points regarding modernity. First, the modern, individualist subject is insufficient to realize the very values and aspirations of modernity. We must recognize that humans are collective and communal. Second, we cannot simply create values – they must arise in communities and be realized through narrative and ritual. And, third, if we are to live meaningful lives as contemporary meta-ethicists and positive psychologists argue, then such lives must include art, community, and ritual as a way to affirm and reinforce one’s values.Let’s Pretend is a statement about one of the dilemmas of the contemporary western world and how that dilemma is, and might be, resolved. How do we believe in the values that we know will make a better world, even if they are of our own making? We must do so, in part, by becoming less modern, by engaging with one another and imagining more.The book should serve as both an essay in the history of Western thought as well as a constructive argument about the nature of the modern epoch and what resources we have to realize the central aspirations of modernity. It aims to fill a critical lacuna in theoretical and philosophical approaches to modernity. While most texts focus on either the need for created values or the need to remedy modern subjectivity, few, if any, link the two problems together. Moreover, they do not ground their analyses in the social sciences and contemporary findings regarding the efficacy of narrative, communal action, and rituals.The book is unique, then, because it asks a central question – how do we believe in what we know to be false? – and because it answers this question using interdisciplinary methods that allow us to see the faultlines and paradoxes of our age.

Download or read book Being written by Peter van Inwagen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-12 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For millennia, philosophers have debated about the existence of things - not only the existence of things like God, demons and the soul, but things like mathematical objects, qualities and attributes, or merely possible states of affairs and people. Ontology is the present-day name for the part of philosophy that addresses such questions. Being attempts to answer these old questions-and the question of how one should go about attempting to answer them. This book presents and defends a meta-ontology and an ontology. Quine has taught us to use the word 'ontology' as a label for the part of philosophy that addresses "the ontological question" - 'What is there?' Meta-ontology, then, is the part of philosophy that addresses two questions, 'What is it to be (or to exist)?' and 'How should one attempt to answer the ontological question?' Chapters 1 and 5 are devoted to meta-ontology - Chapter 1 to a defense of the "neo-Quinean" meta-ontology, Chapter 5 to an examination of various alternative meta-ontologies. The essence of neo-Quineanism is that 'x exists' and 'Something is x' and 'The number of things that are x is not 0' mean more or less the same thing'. Neo-Quineanism obviously entails that there are no non-existent things, for nothing is such that nothing is it and everything is such that the number of things identical with it is 1. Chapter 2 is an examination of various positions that imply that there are non-existent things. The topic of Chapter 3 is the ancient "problem of universals," or the problem of the existence and nature of abstract objects. Chapter 4 is devoted to questions concerning possible worlds and other objects belonging to the ontology of modality.

Book excerpt: Through initiation ceremonies, ailments that once plagued humanity are now banished with a single dose of the appropriate curative element. From common colds to devastating diseases like HIV, these initiations have become the bedrock of a society where health issues are a thing of the past. But not all is as utopian as it seems. Amidst Dr. Foster's success stories, there's one patient who stands out like a discordant note. Victor Harken, a man plagued by an unending array of illnesses, appears each week with a new medical challenge. Unbeknownst to Dr. Foster, Victor is exploiting her groundbreaking initiations for a dark and perilous purpose-experimenting on himself in a relentless quest for power and immortality. Over time, Victor's body undergoes unprecedented changes. He becomes virtually immortal, his body adapting to each initiation and absorbing its benefits indefinitely. However, his transformation comes at a price; Victor's thirst for dominion leads him to forge an alliance with a global corporate juggernaut aiming to seize control of the world. The once-ailing patient transforms into an influential figurehead, poised to reshape the world in the company's image. As the threat of corporate dominance looms large, Dr. Foster realizes the dire consequences of her creations. To counter the cataclysmic eventuality she inadvertently set in motion, she joins forces with Alex Turner-a genetically enhanced individual with unique abilities stemming from a past experiment gone awry. Together, they embark on a high-stakes mission to expose Victor's nefarious plans, dismantle the corporate machinery, and halt his ascension to power.

Download or read book Path to Eternal Bliss with consciousness written by Indar Krishan Raina and published by Walnut Publication. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses in detail the importance of maintaining the God consciousness to achieve God realization. Without maintaining the God consciousness one may never touch the higher planes of self consciousness and at the end may land up disastrously nowhere. The book is divided in 5 topics of Consciousness, Spiritual Experiences and Miracles, Holy Path, Spiritual Quest and Renunciation. Saint Khemraja chief disciple of Sage Vasaguta has said that the aspirants who do upasana and meditation day and night do not achieve anything even after years of practice. These aspirants are ignorant in a way bound by worldly affairs and maya. The realization of self has not taken place. When full realization has not been achieved, that when consciousness has not been filled with independent state of supreme God consciousness. Till then everything is useless. There will be no results. There will be no progress on the path to God realization. So, it is very important to maintain Consciousness of Supreme God at all time for the real benefit of one’s efforts. The independent state of God consciousness is also found in each and every being. In accordance with Vijnan Bhirav one must find this God consciousness. To discover it one should concentrate on totality of individuality which is the state of universal consciousness. By doing this practice one will get differentiated state of universal consciousness above the individuality of consciousness. One has to be aware of God consciousness at all the times in true spirit with utmost love dedication and seriousness. This God consciousness is most intoxicating if cultivated in right and true manner. Without maintaining the consciousness the progress is hindered. This consciousness should be endeavored to hold it in all the three states.
