Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together twenty-four articles of Prof. Calduch-Benages' work on the book of Ben Sira over the last two decades. Some were written originally in English and others have been translated from Spanish and Italian originals. They are divided in three groups: introductory, thematic, and exegetical essays. The exegetical articles offer a detail study of several passages of the book, some of them pivotal in the structure of the book (Sir 2,1; 4,11-19; 6,22; 22,27–23,6; 23,27; 24,22; 27,30–28,7; 34,1-8; 34,9-12; 42,15–43,33; 43,27-33). The thematic essays deal with important theological issues such as canon and inspiration, wisdom, fear of the lord, trial, cult, prayer, forgiveness, and creation. Other no less important issues such as power and authority, dreams, travels, perfumes, animals and garments are discussed as well. Special attention is given to topics related with women, for instance, Ben Sira’s classification of wives, divorce, polygamy, and the absence of named women in the Praise of the Ancestors (Sir 44–50).

Book excerpt: The intention of this book is to help Christians know they are heading down Wisdom's path and not the path to foolishness. The foolish path may seem easier at first but in the end its cost is far more than we would want to pay. On the other hand Wisdom's path may seem harder at first but in the end the cost is far less and the reward is far greater then we could ever imagine. The wise earnestly "receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;" Proverbs 1:3. Wisdom - the God-given ability to have a practical and successful application of the knowledge you have diligently sought out. Wisdom comes from God. Man cannot get wisdom apart from God.

Download or read book The Wisdom of Aristotle written by Carlo Natali and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2001-04-19 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a profound study of Aristotle's concept of phronesis, or practical wisdom. Carlo Natali critically reconsiders Aristotle's famous doctrine of contemplations, relating it to contemporary theories of the good life. In Book X of the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle appears to claim that the best possible life is that which is engaged in theoria, usually translated "contemplation." Quite a few commentators have criticized what they call Aristotle's "intellectualism," suggesting that when he makes the intellectual life superior to all other human goods he opens the door to a Raskolnikov-like immoralism. Natali threads his way very carefully through the tangle of recent arguments on the topic, and presents a persuasive resolution that preserves the primacy of the life of the mind without giving any room for justifications of amorality. In Natali's discussion, Aristotle's analysis of wisdom comes into focus for us today as an attractive and well-argued ideal, to be kept in mind when we are deciding how to live.

Download or read book The Essential Aquinas written by John Y. Hood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-12-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely recognized as one of the dominant figures in Western intellectual tradition, Thomas Aquinas has influenced a variety of fields of thought for centuries. This new anthology of his writings, translated from the original Latin by Hood, contains selections from a broad range of his topics and ideas. It includes works of systemic theology, commentaries on the Bible, Aristotle, and other texts of the classical tradition. Divided into eight chapters, the book offers substantial selections from each of Aquinas' areas of interest: Metaphysics, Natural Science, Human Nature, Law and Ethics, Catholic Theology, the Study of the Bible, Art and Beauty, and the Social World. In vivid translations and enlightening introductions to the selections, Hood provides readers with a rich overview of the important work of this unique thinker. Without violating the integrity of the original texts, Hood provides his own translations of Aquinas's work and introduces readers to his work in all its diversity. Selections present Aquinas' views on a variety of topics of profound contemporary as well as medieval significance, including politics, economic exchange, war theory, sexual morality, and the role and status of women and religious minorities. Thus, without neglecting subjects such as metaphysics, epistemology, and natural law, which are the focus of other anthologies, Hood offers a broader portrait of Aquinas, his thoughts, and the diversity and richness of the culture that gave rise to both.

Download or read book Deep Wisdom Is Golden written by Pastor MacDonald Apreku and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality you give in everything is a demonstration of your deep wisdom and fundamental social values which translate you love and respect towards people. The dimension of your practical culture of wisdom is a relationship that points to your internal and external level of deep wisdom and reflects the effectiveness of how you live in pursuit of purpose and dreams regardless of any condition: 1. Your heart is seen through what you give or do. 2. If you are not thinking generationally, then you are not actually thinking. 3. If you feel threatened by failure, examine the content of your wisdom in relation to your aspirations. 4. Life is like bricks laying one at a time, if you miss one row, you will surely miss the rest. 5. Families and friends are not your groceries; they are GodaEUR(tm)s special gift. 6. Ignoring people is the pleasure to escape your primary social responsibility. 7. Every life contained significant questions; deep wisdom is the only criterion for answers. Practical living is how worthy you utilize your life to realize your purpose. Practicalities are theories translated into performance at the instance of insight. Insight infuses the concept of deep thinking and purpose. Therefore, practical living is: Knowledge + Action + Insight _________________________ = Wisdom Understanding Definition: Add K to A and I; divide it by U because no one understands all things fully. The Scripture says we know in part. Again, the Word says he who thinks he knows does not know anything as he ought to know; thus, the above equation gives leverage to pursue purpose. if 1/4 Knowledge is getting. if 1/4 Action is doing. if 1/4 Insight is infusing. if 1/4 Understanding is separating. if 1/4 Wisdom is constantly applying.

Download or read book Confusion Arises as Wisdom written by Ringu Tulku and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tibetan Buddhist teachings on the freedom that comes from perceiving the emptiness of all phenomena—teachings known collectively by the name Mahamudra—are presented here with remarkable clarity through commentary on a twelfth-century text. The text is "Gampopa's Great Teachings to the Assembly," by Gampopa, the foremost disciple of the legendary figure Milarepa and founder of Tibetan Buddhism's Kagyu school. The commentary is by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, a contemporary teacher of deep learning and profound practice with a remarkable gift for presenting these traditional teachings in a way that is accessible to Western hearts and minds. Gampopa in his teaching combined the general Mahayana teachings he received from the Kadampa tradition of Atisha with the quintessential Vajrayana teachings, which he received from his teacher, Milarepa. These became the basis of the Kagyu lineage teachings that he founded. This particular text, which includes both Mahayana and Vajrayana teachings, is representative of the classic teachings of the Kagyu tradition in general.

Download or read book Science and Philosophy Routledge Revivals written by Bernard Bosanquet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1927, Science and Philosophy: And Other Essays is a collection of individual papers written by Bernard Bosanquet during his highly industrious philosophical life. The collection was put together by Bosanquet’s wife after the death of the writer and remains mostly unaltered with just a few papers added and the order of entries improved. The papers here displayed consist of various contributions Bosanquet made to Mind, the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, the International Journal of Ethics and other periodicals, as well as work from volumes of lectures and essays under his own or other editorship. Throughout the collection, Bosanquet considers the relationship between science and philosophy. The two subject areas became increasingly intertwined during Bosanquet’s lifetime as scientific writers grew more interested in the philosophical investigation of the concepts which underlined their work and philosophical thinkers recognised the importance of the relationship between mathematics and logic as well as that between physics and metaphysics. The first essay in this volume discusses this idea explicitly and all subsequent articles may be regarded as essays in support of the main discussion with which the volume opens.
