Book Evil Tendencies of the Present Crisis

Download or read book Evil Tendencies of the Present Crisis written by Richard Tolman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evil Tendencies of the Present Crisis: A Discourse, Delivered July 4, 1847 We know but very little of the state of mankind, during the sixteen hundred and fifty six years before the flood. The history of the whole of that period is condensed within the compass of six short chapters. But, brief as is that history, it is long enough to give us some idea of the overwhelming tide of iniquity, which preceded the deluge of waters. If we are not particularly informed respecting men's acquaintance, at that time, with the arts and sciences, we do learn that they had advanced far in wicked devices. Whether they were, or were not, wise in Geology and Astronomy, is a matter of conjecture; but it is certain that they were wise to do evil. How sad, how appalling the moral picture of the antedeluvian world, as drawn by the inspired penman! We read that as God looked upon the earth, he saw that it was "corrupt;" "filled with violence," - that is, with the fierce outbreaking of base lusts and passions; he saw that "every imagination of the thoughts of man's heart," or, his every intent and purpose, "was only evil continually." It is said, "There were giants in the earth in those days," - by which may be meant, giants not so much in stature, as in wickedness. There were Goliaths, perhaps, in bodily greatness; certainly, in heaven daring iniquity. There were Sampsons in sin, if not in strength. And what an insight into the depravity of the antedeluvians is afforded by our text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Missionaries of Republicanism

Download or read book Missionaries of Republicanism written by John C. Pinheiro and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Fr. Paul J. Foik Award from the Texas Catholic Historical Society The term "Manifest Destiny" has traditionally been linked to U.S. westward expansion in the nineteenth century, the desire to spread republican government, and racialist theories like Anglo-Saxonism. Yet few people realize the degree to which Manifest Destiny and American republicanism relied on a deeply anti-Catholic civil-religious discourse. John C. Pinheiro traces the rise to prominence of this discourse, beginning in the 1820s and culminating in the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. Pinheiro begins with social reformer and Protestant evangelist Lyman Beecher, who was largely responsible for synthesizing seemingly unrelated strands of religious, patriotic, expansionist, and political sentiment into one universally understood argument about the future of the United States. When the overwhelmingly Protestant United States went to war with Catholic Mexico, this "Beecherite Synthesis" provided Americans with the most important means of defining their own identity, understanding Mexicans, and interpreting the larger meaning of the war. Anti-Catholic rhetoric constituted an integral piece of nearly every major argument for or against the war and was so universally accepted that recruiters, politicians, diplomats, journalists, soldiers, evangelical activists, abolitionists, and pacifists used it. It was also, Pinheiro shows, the primary tool used by American soldiers to interpret Mexico's culture. All this activity in turn reshaped the anti-Catholic movement. Preachers could now use caricatures of Mexicans to illustrate Roman Catholic depravity and nativists could point to Mexico as a warning about what America would be like if dominated by Catholics. Missionaries of Republicanism provides a critical new perspective on Manifest Destiny, American republicanism, anti-Catholicism, and Mexican-American relations in the nineteenth century.

Download or read book The Evil Within written by Diane Jeske and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Jefferson and Edward Coles were men of similar backgrounds, yet they diverged on the central moral wrong of this country's history: the former remained a self-justified slave-holder, while the latter emancipated his slaves. What led these men of the same era to choose such different paths? They represent one of numerous examples in this work wherein examining the ways in which people who perform wrong and even evil actions attempt to justify those actions both to others and to themselves illuminates the mistakes that we ourselves make in moral reasoning. How do we justify moral wrongdoing to ourselves? Do we even notice when we are doing so? The Evil Within demonstrates that the study of moral philosophy can help us to identify and correct for such mistakes. In applying the tools of moral philosophy to case studies of Nazi death camp commandants, American slave-holders, and a psychopathic serial killer, Diane Jeske shows how we can become wiser moral deliberators. A series of case studies serve as extended real-life thought experiments of moral deliberation gone awry, and show us how four impediments to effective moral deliberation -- cultural norms and pressures, the complexity of the consequences of our actions, emotions, and self-deception -- can be identified and overcome by the study and application of moral philosophy. Jeske unsparingly examines the uncomfortable parellels between the moral deliberations of those who are transparently evil (e.g. psychopaths, Nazis), and our own moral justifications. The Evil Within ultimately argues for incorporating moral philosophy into moral education, so that its tools can become common currency in moral deliberation, discussion, and debate.
