Download or read book Philosophy and the Interpretation of Pop Culture written by William Irwin and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006-11-13 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle analyzed the popular art of his time: the tragedies and epics. Why should philosophers today not do likewise? Perhaps we can learn something from children's stories by subverting the dominant paradigm of adult authority and admitting with Socrates that we don't know all the answers. Perhaps Batman has ethical lessons to teach that generalize beyond the pages of comic books. Is it better to like Mozart than it is to like Madonna? Kurt Cobain gave voice to the attitude of a generation, singing, 'Here we are, now entertain us.' Is entertainment a bad thing, or could it actually have value-and not just instrumental value?
Download or read book Countenance of Man written by M. D. Nuth and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countenance of Man can be simply described as a beautiful portrayal of this plain thing called life. Although a work of fiction, it recalls memories that touch each of us as we grow to adulthood. Countenance provides us a look into Randall Simmons as he rediscovers his father, Paul, through the family recollections, stories and notes he discovers in the last two days of his father’s life. For Randall, this story begins with feelings of self-guilt brought on by his acknowledgement of his distant indifference and ends with new-found love, respect, and understanding. The journey of discovery begins with recounts of the father’s days as an adolescent and progresses through the significant, life-changing experiences that influenced his life. These experiences and connections show the profound impact that life had on Paul; growing from a young man wanting to escape his home to middle-aged man wanting to succeed at all cost, to a mature man recognizing he just wants to make amends and make life better for others. This profound journey includes military tours of duty, business challenges, family travesties, the loss of loved ones, and ultimately financial sacrifice. Paul's story touches with a poignancy, but also provides us with parallels in experience that each of us has faced, or will face in our lives. The story shows us a just person and his transition into a man as a function of the life experiences he faced. Through a series of chronological vignettes from 1943 through 2015, we are invited into Paul's family, providing a heart-wrenching look at one person's life. The vignettes are not intended to position Paul as a hero, but merely to provide a different lens through which his son, Randall can see and understand his father.
Download or read book Guided by the Wind written by Leona Bentley and published by Riptide Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A path through hell is their only way toward a future together. Star leads a dangerous life. Beneath the brutal sun, he helps his father, Ty, guide settlers through the harshest lands. Those who survive the monsters, bandits, and other omnipresent threats often succumb to the elements. Star has his own demons to worry about—ones from his past that he’s never been able to outride—but so long as he has Ty and the wind at his back, he’s content. Damien Sole is a wanted man. His ragtag family of outlaws is on the run from bounty hunters who would as happily kill them as arrest them, and they’re in need of a guide. Star doesn’t look like much—with his slim build and cat-like features—but there’s ferocity in his sharp green eyes that Damien can’t resist. What starts as a spark of lust between the two men flares into an inferno. As ancient secrets surface, they bring new enemies with them. Men like Damien and Star don’t die old in their beds, and they don’t get a happy ever after. With everything against them, nothing will come easy. Especially not love.

Download or read book The Other Side written by James A. Pike and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing new reprints by and about Bishop James Pike: The Other Side Search The Other Side is a moving narrative of a father's efforts to save his son from enslavement to psychedelic drugs, a tragic story of a young and gifted man's premature death, a startling story of poltergeist occurrences that led the father and other witnesses to believe that from beyond the grave his son was trying to get in touch, a detailed account of how this communication proceeded during a time when the father was under accusation for heresy for believing too little. Above all, it is an analysis by one of America's keenest minds of what all these experiences may mean. The Other Side certainly reads like a suspenseful novel, yet every phrase of the narration is painstakingly documented by eyewitness accounts of the strange occurrences that led the Bishop Pike to consult mediums in England and America, and by several word-for-word tape recordings of such seances. All readers will find here an honest and lucid exploration of psychic phenomena, and those who have lost a loved one to suicide will find reason to take heart and find hope.

Washburne presented his credentials to Napoleon III and was present in 1870 for the Franco-German War. Following the war with the Germans, the people of Paris rose up in revolt and proclaimed a leftist commune. The poor response of the French government to feed the people of Paris after the peace treaty contributed to the political turmoil. This sixth volume explores the life of the American minister to France, Elihu Washburne, during the years following the Franco-German War and Paris Commune as the French government and people tried to rebuild their country following those dramatic events.
