Download or read book Can Philosophy Love written by Cindy Zeiher and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we articulate a philosophy of love? This volume stages encounters between contemporary understandings of love and philosophy. It considers particular continental philosophers who think about love and its relation to desire and sexuality. The essays in this collection contend with philosophy and psychoanalysis as lines of thought that expose love’s role in all knowledge. Drawing on the work of key thinkers such as Žižek, Badiou, Lacan, Hegel, Vattimo, Caygill, Levinas, Menshikov and Marx, this book puts love to work as a way of understanding the subject of desire as a figure of knowledge shaped by the event of love.

Download or read book Frying Plantain written by Zalika Reid-Benta and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the neighbourhood of “Little Jamaica,” Frying Plantain follows a girl from elementary school to high school graduation as she navigates the tensions between mothers and daughters, second-generation immigrants experiencing first-generation cultural expectations, and Black identity in a predominantly white society. Kara Davis is a girl caught in the middle — of her North American identity and her desire to be a “true” Jamaican, of her mother and grandmother’s rages and life lessons, of having to avoid being thought of as too “faas” or too “quiet” or too “bold” or too “soft.” In these twelve interconnected stories, we see Kara on a visit to Jamaica, startled by the sight of a severed pig’s head in her great-aunt’s freezer; in junior high, the victim of a devastating prank by her closest friends; and as a teenager in and out of her grandmother’s house, trying to cope with ongoing battles of unyielding authority. A rich and unforgettable portrait of growing up between worlds, Frying Plantain shows how, in one charged moment, friendship and love can turn to enmity and hate, well-meaning protection can become control, and teasing play can turn to something much darker.

Download or read book The Power of Love for Reaching Out to the Other written by Johnny Ramirez-Johnson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race is a result of God’s design and not of sin. God loves diversity and sought it. Race biases are normal and come as a result of likes and dislikes; love of “the other” is to be learned. In this book, Bible stories and principles are combined with four intercultural communication skills to help develop love of the other. This book builds on what Sherwood Lingenfelter and Marvin K. Mayers developed for understanding cultural values and diversity of likes and dislikes. Those differences are normal. The problem comes from excluding the other. This book explores a step-wise approach to developing the love of the other. How the person, the leader, and the church see diversity defines the church’s outreach, mission, and gospel fulfillment. Author’s Own Words Book Description The Power of Love book explains how emotions and feelings were part of God’s creation design from before sin entered this world. While departing from cognitive neuropsychology and the latest learning from science this seminar furthers the idea that race relations are not to be understood by sociology and science but by Bible and Christian beliefs. If you want to learn a non-CRT (critical race theory) approach to race relations while risking being, again, convicted of the need to reach out to the other in gospel love—enter into dialogue—with the author by reading his book and let us pray together. If you want to keep it safe and your intercultural relationships as they are—in a tongue in cheek way the author advices to—stay away from this book!
Download or read book We Love Energy Too Let s talk about Energy Connecting Quantum Physics to People written by Susan Barbaro and published by EI Alliance. This book was released on 2016-06-26 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Love Energy Too: VOLUME 2: Science can explain a lot of things – from the laws of physics to the planetary movements. There are some things that still elude science, and science itself confirms that certain phenomena are beyond the standard laws as we know them. The laws of physics exist, and are accurate, however, we cannot determine that they are complete. How and what does that say for us here, and for how we live? What is possible if we open our minds and think beyond the laws of science and physics? When you explore science in a new way you can relate it to people and interactions in a new way, and come up with interesting hypotheses. From the Authors: If you have any interest in things other than people’s stories, complaints and drama, and feel that there is something else out there, you’re right, there is. And that’s where we are. Social media, television, movies, other self-help books are unfulfilling. They just perpetuate an empty feeling. If you are interested in what everyone else is doing, keep supporting them. Yet, if you are interested in accessing something else within yourself and all around you, our books help to open the door to magick, science, creativity, and psychic ability. We work with energy. What does that mean? Everyone wants to talk to us or be in our conversations. So, we wrote about what we know and have experienced. If you want to be in our conversations, listen to our podcasts. Otherwise, read our books, that’s where the energy is. Find our books on our Amazon Author pages.

Download or read book The Rationality of Love written by Hichem Naar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love has been the subject of much fascination. It is indeed one of those things which elude us in many ways. The long-lasting disagreement over love's nature is unsurprising. In light of this, a piecemeal approach to love is in order. Instead of asking what love is down the line, we might need to investigate its various features and its connection to other things. The Rationality of Love addresses the question whether love belongs, paradoxically enough, to the realm of reason, whether love belongs to the class of responses, such as belief and action, that admit of norms of justification and rationality. Are there normative reasons to love someone? Can it be an appropriate or fitting response to an individual? Can it be rational? Or is love, like perceptual experiences, sensations and urges, the sort of thing we just have and for which we cannot be rationally criticizable? Hichem Naar provides a sustained defense of the rationality of love. There are reasons to love others, reasons provided by the unique value of each individual. This will in turn rule out popular accounts of love which deny love's rationality and vindicate those accounts that make room for it. Drawing on various domains of philosophical inquiry such as the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of normativity, and epistemology, Naar provides a careful assessment of the various positions in the debate over reasons for love and develops his own answer to the normative question about love.

Download or read book Love is Not a Liquid Asset written by John Faithful Hamer and published by Likeville Books. This book was released on 2020-04-19 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex is love’s fast-forward button. If you’re normal, sooner or later, you’re going to fall in love with the person you’re sleeping with, or they’re going to fall in love with you, whether you like it or not. “Passionate love,” as Jonathan Haidt rightly observes in The Happiness Hypothesis (2006), “is a drug. Its symptoms overlap with those of heroin . . . and cocaine . . . . Passionate love alters the activity of several parts of the brain, including parts that are involved in the release of dopamine. Any experience that feels intensely good releases dopamine, and the dopamine link is crucial here because drugs that artificially raise dopamine levels, as do heroin and cocaine, put you at risk of addiction.” The feelings we develop for someone we’re sleeping with are powerful. This is largely a function of oxytocin, a hormone normally associated with mother-infant bonding. In most mammals, oxytocin is released solely during breastfeeding, where it helps to forge a powerful bond between mother and child. But in certain species, large quantities of oxytocin are also released during sex, where it helps to forge a powerful bond between lovers. In Blueprint (2019), Nicholas A. Christakis maintains that these modifications of the oxytocin reflex are nothing short of astounding: “a set of physiological experiences that originally evolved to facilitate mother-child bonding” have, in our species, evolved to facilitate and support pair-bonding. “The neural circuits that light up in a woman’s brain are similar whether she looks at her baby or her partner.” Evolution seems to have selected for human neediness. This explains the voracious nature of human sexuality. Unlike tigers, bears, and salamanders, who only have sex during the mating season, we have sex all year round. What’s more, we have a great deal of sex that’s clearly not going to result in pregnancy (e.g., gay sex, straight sex after menopause, etc.). Sex’s primary purpose has long since transcended procreation. Sexual desire renders us needy. It takes us out of ourselves and into the world, making hunters of us all. If the greatest friendships fall into our laps serendipitously, like the treasure you find buried in your own backyard, the greatest loves of our lives are like spoils we bring home from the field of battle.
Download or read book Of Love and Abuse written by Kayla Lowe and published by Kayla Lowe. This book was released on 2021-04-04 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah finds herself entangled in the delicate threads of marriage, questioning the impulsive choices that led her to this uncertain crossroad. Faced with financial pressures, she and Bruce hurriedly exchanged vows, a decision driven more by circumstance than by the readiness of her heart. Now, as the weight of matrimony settles upon her shoulders, Sarah wonders if she's made a commitment she wasn't fully prepared for. While their engagement held the promise of a shared future, the reality of married life with Bruce proves to be a tumultuous journey. As the days unfold, Bruce's actions take a disconcerting turn, revealing an unsettling obsession that Sarah hadn't anticipated. Was this the man she believed herself to be marrying, or has the veil of familiarity lifted to expose a stranger with a darker, more unpredictable side? In book 4 of the Tainted Love Saga, Sarah's emotional landscape becomes a battleground of conflicting emotions. Delve into the complexities of marriage, self-discovery, and the struggle to define one's identity within the confines of a union that was meant to bring solace, not turmoil. Can Sarah navigate the treacherous waters of matrimony, or is she faced with the daunting realization that the man she thought she knew is, in fact, a stranger harboring secrets of his own? As Sarah grapples with the uncertainty of her choices, book 4 of the Tainted Love Saga invites readers to explore the transformative power of love, the fragility of trust, and the resilience it takes to confront the shadows that lurk within the heart of a relationship. Will Sarah find the strength to unravel the mysteries of her marriage, or will she succumb to the veil of uncertainty that shrouds her newfound life? Join her on this gripping journey, where the line between dreams and reality blurs, and the quest for self-discovery takes center stage.
Download or read book Love as Pedagogy written by Tim Loreman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love is a necessary ingredient of effective pedagogy, yet to this point there has been a distinct lack of serious theoretical and practical work on the topic. What does it really mean to adopt a loving approach to pedagogy? This book provides a pragmatic and thoughtful treatment of the topic of love as pedagogy, examining the use and role of love in teaching and learning, and providing suggestions on how educators can effectively recognise and use love in their work. This text begins with a discussion of what love is, what pedagogy is, and how the two are inseparable in an effective educational context. It then moves on to address ethical considerations. Drawing on discourse on love found in psychology, philosophy, and religion the text examines various aspects of love and their relationship to effective teaching and learning including kindness and empathy, intimacy and bonding, sacrifice and forgiveness, and acceptance and community. This book concludes with a photographic case study of loving pedagogy in action and practical suggestions for educators wishing to adopt the approach. This text is suitable for educators at all levels, especially those in early childhood, elementary, and secondary school settings along with students in education and related programs at universities and colleges. Tim Loreman, PhD., is Professor in the Faculty of Education at Concordia University College of Alberta, Canada.
