Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American freedom is often defined in terms of emancipation and civil rights legislation, but it did not arrive with the stroke of a pen or the rap of a gavel. No single event makes this more plain, Laurie Green argues, than the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike, which culminated in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Exploring the notion of "freedom" in postwar Memphis, Green demonstrates that the civil rights movement was battling an ongoing "plantation mentality" based on race, gender, and power that permeated southern culture long before--and even after--the groundbreaking legislation of the mid-1960s. With its slogan "I AM a Man!" the Memphis strike provides a clarion example of how the movement fought for a black freedom that consisted of not only constitutional rights but also social and human rights. As the sharecropping system crumbled and migrants streamed to the cities during and after World War II, the struggle for black freedom touched all aspects of daily life. Green traces the movement to new locations, from protests against police brutality and racist movie censorship policies to innovations in mass culture, such as black-oriented radio stations. Incorporating scores of oral histories, Green demonstrates that the interplay of politics, culture, and consciousness is critical to truly understanding freedom and the black struggle for it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mentality and Freedom In this series of essays, the dominant motif of Human Potentiality has been sounded from many view-points. The continual repetition of the fundamental theme is by no means a novel method in the propounding of truth. Indeed, it is only by repetition and reiteration through many aspects of the same great truths that potent convictions, demanding action, are formed. It is not unlike the method used by the organist improvising upon his theme and placing it in different settings; at one time he uses the simple motif with conspicuous clearness; at another it is only a subtle suggestion; occasionally the fundamental chord is given, and through it all the dominant theme vibrates true. The great curse that blights and unfettered human life - the world's besetting sin - is ignorance. It is the ignorance of mental lethargy, of arrested growth and of thoughtless acquiescence in the tenets of external domination. This ignorance is evident when human minds, instead of exercising reason, mechanically reflect the opinions of the crowd, when they accept without review the creeds of external authority and lose themselves in dwarfing mind-habits which are deeply rutted in tradition. Thus individuality is deadened and Godhood is crucified. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mentality and Freedom Never in the history of the human family were there more glaring facts to substantiate the need of the individual to realize his innate power for creative good. The one ray of hope for this battle scarred world is universal education in the truth that alone can make men free. It is time that the world ceased to reverence the Napoleons and Alex anders of history, the enemies and destroyers of freedom, democracy and lasting progress. Our children must be taught the attributes of true man hood and the dimensions of real heroes. Their receptive minds should by truth be kept free from prejudice, so that they Will spontaneously respond to the Apostles of Beauty and Love, to the world's sages Who are the real creative builders of human happiness and well-being, and thus Will they grow in harmony With the great Cosmic Plan of Evolu tion toward perfection. The author hopes to publish during the coming year a separate volume of essays on this same gen eral subj ect, dealing more directly With education and the mental development and freedom of the young.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular psychoanalyst examines the continuing tension in our lives between the possibilities that freedom offers and the various limitations imposed upon us by our particular fate or destiny. "May is an existential analyst who deservedly enjoys a reputation among both general and critical readers as an accessible and insightful social and psychological theorist. . . . Freedom's characteristics, fruits, and problems; destiny's reality; death; and therapy's place in the confrontation between freedom and destiny are examined. . . . Poets, social critics, artists, and other thinkers are invoked appropriately to support May's theory of freedom and destiny's interdependence."—Library Journal "Especially instructive, even stunning, is Dr. May's willingness to respect mystery. . . .There is, too, at work throughout the book a disciplined yet relaxed clinical mind, inclined to celebrate . . . what Flannery O'Connor called 'mystery and manners,' and to do so in a tactful, meditative manner."—Robert Coles, America

Download or read book The Psychology of Human Freedom written by Malcolm R. Westcott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book I pursue three goals. The first is to describe what has been learned about human freedom through psychological research. The second is to provide a conceptual and methodological critique of the large body of that research which has been conducted within the framework of a positivist natural science ex perimental social psychology. My third goal is to offer a contrasting human science approach to the study of human freedom and to illustrate its use in empirical study. For more than twenty years psychologists have inves tigated the conditions under which people are seen to be free, the conditions under which they report feeling free, the psychological consequences of interference with be havioural freedoms, and to a lesser extent, how it feels to feel free. Empirical fmdings on each of these facets of human freedom have arisen in quite separate research traditions, and they are brought together here for the first time. During the same twenty years, a general critique of the dominant positivist natural science approach to complex human phenomena has been growing. Although it has escalated recently, this critique has fIrm roots that go back to the turn of the century. I review this general critique and apply it specifically to the study of human freedom - surely a complex human phenomenon, more complex, ambiguous, and paradoxical than most of us im agine.
Download or read book Freedom and the Captive Mind written by Wallace L. Daniel and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom and the Captive Mind is a biography of Fr. Gleb Yakunin, the first Orthodox priest to adopt an ecumenical approach to Russian Orthodoxy, earning him the enmity of conservative groups within the Church and gratitude from other religious denominations. Father Yakunin believed the survival of the Church depended on its willingness to reform. When he was suspended, Yakunin continued to fight the system, working to expose the persecution of religious believers in the Soviet Union. After years of exile, Yakunin entered politics. He was criticized by religious authorities, denounced by nationalist politicians, and excommunicated by the Russian Orthodox Church. As Wallace L. Daniel demonstrates, the letters Yakunin wrote and his revelations about the relationship between the Church hierarchy and the KGB stand as monuments of courage and the determination to reveal the truth about abuses of power and the authoritarian mindset that predominated in both institutions.
Download or read book The Psychology of Liberty written by Wes Bertrand and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Liberty is a visionary journey explaining a novel political system of freedom and justice named Self-Governing Capitalism. Objectivity and logic are utilized to discover truth both psychologically and politically. The book paints an inspiring picture of a world in which objective values of individuals are held supreme. The Psychology of Liberty is essentially a psychologically-based analysis of a completely free market economics, arising from an individual rights-based politics. It portrays the type of society that humanity will eventually embrace--hopefully in our lifetime--if we are to live benevolently, peacefully, and happily. By formulating a noncontradictory integration of the disciplines of philosophy and psychology, the book (unlike most philosophical books) is comprehensible. To anyone interested in profound ideas and who is searching for answers to life’s questions, comprehensibility is a very welcome friend. The book first explains who our species once was, has been, and now is, in evolutionary and biological terms, and then expounds on the philosophical and psychological implications of this--for individuals and society. Being based on logical and objective principles, much of human nature described reflects the ingenious ideas of the late novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. Additionally, many of the psychological interpretations are in agreement with those of psychologist and psychotherapist Nathaniel Branden. Self-concept and self-esteem are the core issues of Branden’s work. (He was also a teacher of Objectivism, Ayn Rand’s philosophy.) The book incorporates and unifies these views of philosophy and psychology to appropriately explain the nature of reality and ourselves. As noted in the preface, this book is the result of studying the works of both authors. However, it outlines a politics that is somewhat different than what Objectivism has traditionally proposed, rectifying a basic contradiction by applying logic fully to this fourth branch of philosophy. This application proves important because it has many societal and psychological ramifications. The Psychology of Liberty espouses Self-Governing Capitalism, which is the only completely free market system. Self-Governing Capitalism is identical in political description to Anarcho-Capitalism (or what is called in certain circles a “polycentric constitutional order” or “polycentric legal order”). Yet for reasons mentioned in the book, Self-Governing is a more accurate and effective term to represent this type of political, economic, and social system. The book has eight chapters with various sections in each. The first four chapters lay the foundation for the last four, hence making it somewhat of a two-part book. The first part of the book (chapters 1-4) describes who our species has been from biological, evolutionary, historical, psychological, and philosophical perspectives. This necessarily entails describing distinguishing characteristics of our species (e.g., reason, volition, emotions) coupled with inspecting personal and societal conditions that have endured for centuries--namely, collectivistic thinking, irrationality, emotional unawareness and repression, and authoritarian rule over others. The dominant themes of individual psychological processes and the social influences on these processes are addressed and clarified. We see what causes individuals to surrender independent thought and judgment to others, and what influences them to disrespect themselves and not understand their mental world. All this is blended with the introduction and explanation of the properties, function, and use of logical reasoning (the process of noncontradictory identification), so as to facilitate discovery of the fundamental truths about ourselves and our political situation. Logic is explained as the method by which we find both personal and societal enlightenment. Once we
Download or read book FREEDOM FROM AN ILLUSION OF FREEDOM written by Patrick Lemon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First let me mention that the main characters in the book are the readers and the readers are the audience too. Find out how and what character describes you best throughout the novel. Fear is one of the main forces that create this illusion of freedom. "Just because you are scared does not mean you are entitled to back down," (Lemon). Believing the belief that you are free is the very belief that creates this illusion. Then this belief traps you within an illusion of freedom and is the very belief that prevents you from realizing you are not free by any means of what you thought freedom was and what freedom really is. You believing that belief is what prevent you from discovering, seeing, understanding and experiencing what true freedom is and means. You can get out of this illusion through an 8 phase process that is offered within this novel. My book is a manuscript that offers the following: internal psychology, optimistic/positive psychology, reflective psychology, self-improvement psychology, self-knowledge psychology, therapy, spirituality, sociology, philosophy, workology, streetology, survivology (higher survival awareness /teens and adults), better relationship awareness (work, couples, or in general) and is a parental guide. This is not a conspiracy theory novel nor is it fiction. It is real events and real experiences anyone can experience. This book is a self-improvement; self-developmental novel that shows people how to fi nd and bring out their deep rooted power, true freedom, and potential of which they never knew existed or never knew how to bring out.
Download or read book The Libertarian Mind written by David Boaz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised, updated, and retitled edition of David Boaz’s classic book Libertarianism: A Primer, which was praised as uniting “history, philosophy, economics and law—spiced with just the right anecdotes—to bring alive a vital tradition of American political thought that deserves to be honored today” (Richard A. Epstein, University of Chicago). Libertarianism—the philosophy of personal and economic freedom—has deep roots in Western civilization and in American history, and it’s growing stronger. Two long wars, chronic deficits, the financial crisis, the costly drug war, the campaigns of Ron Paul and Rand Paul, the growth of executive power under Presidents Bush and Obama, and the revelations about NSA abuses have pushed millions more Americans in a libertarian direction. Libertarianism: A Primer, by David Boaz, the longtime executive vice president of the Cato Institute, continues to be the best available guide to the history, ideas, and growth of this increasingly important political movement—and now it has been updated throughout and with a new title: The Libertarian Mind. Boaz has updated the book with new information on the threat of government surveillance; the policies that led up to and stemmed from the 2008 financial crisis; corruption in Washington; and the unsustainable welfare state. The Libertarian Mind is the ultimate resource for the current, burgeoning libertarian movement.
