Download or read book Angelicus written by Charlie Trebla and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02-09 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My soul is infused with the beauty of this granite peak to which we cling, where it has endured both the excruciating bliss of a peace so intolerable it made me want to scream and the tormented ecstasy of betrayal so indelible I was driven beyond madness and capable of wanting someone dead. This is a story about manhood, about masculine potency. About a man who no longer understands how to be a man, a husband, a father. Its also about the women he loves and leans on. How childhood wounds and lifes debris conspire to bring disparate people together, each ferociously guarding secrets. But also, for each to regain their sense of self. To save themselves. Based on a true story, of one man's walk through the fire of betrayal, but embers still blister his soul.
Download or read book Suffering and Moral Responsibility written by Jamie Mayerfeld Associate Professor of Political Science University of Washington and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999-08-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this original study, Jamie Mayerfeld undertakes a careful inquiry into the meaning and moral significance of suffering. Understanding suffering in hedonistic terms as an affliction of feeling, he addresses difficulties associated with its identification and measurement. He then turns to an examination of the duty to relieve suffering: its content, its weight relative to other moral considerations, and the role it should play in our lives. Among the claims defended in the book are that suffering needs to be distinguished from both physical pain and the frustration of desire, that interpersonal comparisons of the intensity of happiness and suffering are possible, that several psychological processes hinder our awareness of other people's suffering, and that the prevention of suffering should often be pursued indirectly. Mayerfeld concludes his discussion by arguing that the reduction of suffering is morally more important than the promotion of happiness, and that most of us greatly underestimate the force of the duty to prevent suffering. As the first systematic book-length inquiry into the moral significance of suffering, Suffering and Moral Responsibility makes an important contribution to moral philosophy and political theory, and will interest specialists in each of these areas.

Download or read book Religion and Culture written by Michel Foucault and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1999. Postmodern theorist Michel Foucault is best known for his work on power/ knowledge, and on the regulation of sexuality in modern society. Yet throughout his life, Foucault was continually concerned with Christianity, other spiritual movements and religious traditions, and the death of God, and these themes and materials scattered are throughout his many writings. Religion and Culture collects for the first time this important thinker's work on religion, religious experience, and society. Here are classic essays such as The Battle for Chastity , alongside those that have been less widely read in English or in French. Selections are arranged in three groupings: Madness, Religion and the Avant-Garde; Religions, Politics and the East; and Christianity, Sexuality and the Self: Fragments of an Unpublished Volume. Ranging from Foucault's earliest studies of madness to Confessions of the Flesh , the unpublished fourth volume of his History of Sexuality , his final thoughts on early Christianity, Religion and Culture makes Foucault's work an indispensable part of contemporary religious thought, while also making an important link between religious studies and cultural studies.
