Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poets, theologians, romantics, scientists, and revolutionaries alike have explored the many facets of love. Judging by the wide use of the word “love” and the high praise it typically receives, we might think that philosophers have thoroughly analyzed love. But this is not the case. This book takes a step toward rectifying the neglect of a philosophical analysis of love. It brings together fifteen philosophical perspectives that explore some of love’s most important facets. Most of the essays have theistic or religious concerns in mind.

Download or read book 333 Facets of Manipulators written by Renato Barbosa Moreira and published by RENATO BARBOSA MOREIRA. This book was released on 2023-11-11 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "333 Facets of Manipulators" is an in-depth and detailed exploration of human manipulation, encompassing psychological, social, and neuroscientific aspects. The author, Renato Barbosa Moreira, unfolds the concept of manipulation in several layers, from its presence on the stage of everyday life to the complexities of the manipulator's mind and the strategies to deal with it. The first chapter introduces the world of manipulation, highlighting how it can be compared to an illusion of magic on stage, where reality is distorted to entertain. In real life, however, manipulation is less visible and more insidious, often hiding the truth and limiting freedom of choice. The book addresses the psychology and neuroscience behind manipulation, citing relevant works and studies, such as those by Robert B. Cialdini and Solomon Asch, that show how we are influenced and how our decision-making and emotion brain areas are affected. In the following chapters, Moreira examines the development of the manipulator, from roots in personality and experience to upward in society. It discusses how manipulators gain power in different social spheres and how technology and social media have become new territories for manipulation. The author also explores manipulation in interpersonal relationships, such as in love and family relationships, and in the work environment. The book offers perspectives on how to recognize and protect oneself from manipulation tactics, emphasizing the importance of questioning intentions and consequences and training the "mental immune system." Moreira also addresses the proliferation of manipulative behavior and how society has become accustomed to it, highlighting the role of neuroscience in understanding and combating manipulation. Finally, the author presents strategies for confronting and unmasking manipulators, paths to healing from manipulation, and how each individual can contribute to a less manipulative world. The book closes with reflections on the lessons presented and encourages personal and collective action and change.

Download or read book Facets of Unity written by A. H. Almaas and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2000-09-05 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “heartily recommend[ed]” text for “Enneagram enthusiasts . . . and followers of every spiritual tradition”—by the creator of the Diamond Approach to Self-Realization (Helen Palmer, author of The Enneagram) Facets of Unity presents the Enneagram of Holy Ideas as a crystal clear window on the true reality experienced in enlightened consciousness. Here we are not directed toward the psychological types but the higher spiritual realities they reflect. We discover how the disconnection from each Holy Idea—defined as an unconditioned, objective understanding of reality—leads to the development of its corresponding fixation, thus recognizing each types deeper psychological core. Understanding this core brings each Holy Idea within reach, so its spiritual perspective can serve as a key for unlocking the fixation and freeing us from its limitations.

Download or read book The Different Facets of Love written by Thérèse Nyetam and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why speak about love in all its facets? Love is a diamondwe cannot fathom its depths. By a combination of all its facets, we hope to reach a vision of true love. I realize that all people are looking for love so they can say life is beautiful. Love appears in different forms, different versions, different ages, and different cultures. It is present everywhere, but transparent, like wind and water. Could it be an element of nature that feeds us daily? Everybody knows that when we fall in love, we just need fresh water to survive. Love is the word we use the most to express a feeling of satisfaction. We use it more to express our personal sensations than those inspired in somebody else. This is not our fault; we are taught growing up to hide our feelings and say things halfway, so as not to shock. Thats what it means to live in community. Society attempts to control people who have chosen to live inside itto control loveby imposing rules that restrict behavior. Sex is one of its priorities. In the olden days, homosexuality was a normal sexual behavior; it was tolerated. At the time of Kings, incest was accepted. Each period imposes sexual taboos, and as a consequence, nowadays we live with so many taboos we dont understand them in depth. To my mind, taboos are designed to manage the general interest and safeguard society. I also think that they have to arise themselves from a loving sentiment.

Download or read book Facets of Emotion written by K. R. Scherer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1988. We are presently witnessing a renaissance of research on emotion. In the last 10 years, an increasing number of empirical studies dealing with many different aspects of emotion has appeared. This monograph of research papers counteract the tendency toward dispersion and the lack of published work in this area. A major intent of this volume is to introduce a number of new methodological tools for research on emotion (for example, facet theory, non-metrical regression for patterns, voice resynthesis, and other methods) as well as to reassert the utility of some classical tools of social science research for studies of emotion (e.g., properly constructed questionnaires). In addition, it presents a number of theoretical notions that seem relevant to a systematic study of the emotion process (such as component process theory, a taxonomy of appraisal and coping dimensions, contextual and situational approaches, and inter-channel comparison). It is hoped that the results presented in this volume can serve as hypotheses for further work in this area. In the Appendix several sets of research materials are reprinted to encourage use in student research projects.

Download or read book The Sovereignty of God Debate written by D. Stephen Long and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is God sovereign with respect to creation? Does creation affect God? Does God suffer or change because of creation? If so, how is this related to Christology? Why have these questions been so controversial in evangelical theology, even costing some people their jobs? This book is a collection of lectures given to the Forum for Evangelical Theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. Six theologians answer the questions above from a variety of perspectives. They draw on resources including the church fathers, Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Jurgen Moltmann, process theology, and open theism. In the process of answering the question, does God suffer? each theologian also illustrates how responding to this subject requires an examination of other crucial evangelical issues, such as how we read Scripture and what it means to proclaim that God is love. Although the writers answer these questions in a variety of ways, the hope is that engaging in this conversation together can help evangelicals and all Christians to speak more faithfully of our sovereign God.

Download or read book Gospel Love Marriage and Divorce written by Randall Lamb and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The centrality of God in all things is not a novel concept to Christianity, at least not in theory. For centuries, it would appear that the Church has somehow allowed herself to remove the God-centered gospel definition from marriage and has subsequently fashioned a culturally subjective definition of love, marriage, and divorce that has left God, in many respects, far from the center. This book, however, will pay less attention to our own domestic legacies of love, marriage, and divorce. It is more so about the church, covenants, conditions, true fidelity, perseverance, God-centered joy, authenticity, fraud, legalism, and apostasy. It is a journey into the kingdom of God wherein the visible and invisible church, along with love, marriage, and divorce, all seem to collide with the gospel of glory and grace.

Download or read book The Logic of Love written by Andrew J. B. Cameron and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overviewing what makes the intersection between emotion and ethics so confusing, this book surveys an older wisdom in how to manage it, using a range of Christian theologians and sources. More important even than 'managing', we begin to see a vision for a better set of affections to grow within and among us. In this vision emerges a practical and nuanced account of what the Christian tradition sometime summarises as 'love'. How may we recover a deep affection for what matters, both within ourselves and together in groups? This book also dialogues with a new movement in moral psychology, 'social intuitionism'. Cameron argues that researchers in this discipline have interests and conclusions that sometimes overlap with Christian sources, even where their respective lenses differ. In this way, the book overviews recent trends in moral psychology against a recent historical and contemporary cultural backdrop, whilst assaying major sources in Christian theology that offer guidance on moral psychology.
