Download or read book The Perils of Passion written by Christopher David and published by . This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perils of Passion is an intriguing story of a plan to combine two vocations in one, but within an institution hostile to any such idea. What then is described is a conflict of loyalties: obedience to a personal need fulfilled ultimately in marriage and equivalent obedience to the Catholic Church. The writer's gift in relation to the priesthood is clearly a capacity to make relationships and create community. Thus the book is a personal and sincere account of how this was ultimately achieved - even though the way to this end is always complicated, occasionally morally ambigious and may be sometimes a little dishonourable. Nevertheless the sense of mission and the depth of commitment are clear and reflects urgently on the turbulent times of change we are in. This is a story honestly told, an interesting and often amusing insight into the life of a priest. It is a statement about choice, about loyalties and values, failure and ultimate success; a reflection on the perennial question of who we are and why we are here. This remarkable book, which I was lucky enough to read and comment on as it was written, reveals a person and a life worth knowing about - an individual who is genuine, complex, sometimes very brave and always profoundly Christian; someone capable then of being earnestly personal, spiritual, social and political. The book is replete with illustrations of these facets of the author's character: the love of family and friends; the support for the less well-off and vulnerable; the struggle with priestly vows; the coming to terms with a Catholic Church that does not always explicitly manifest strongly appropriate versions of charity; the efforts to define Christian commitment through educational work; the challenges of charitable work and associated fund-raising; the facing-down of tyranny; and the graceful acceptance of life as a gift. I cannot therefore imagine anyone reading this book without feeling both moved and challenged, which is why I recommend it without either qualification or hesitation.

Download or read book The Perils of the One written by Stathis Gourgouris and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest times, societies have been seduced by the temptation of unitary thinking. Recognizing the vulnerability of existence, people and cultures privilege regimes that confer authority on a single entity, a sovereign ruler, a transcendental deity, or an Event, which they embrace with unquestioned devotion. Such obsessions precipitate contempt for the worldliness of real bodies in real time and refusal of responsibility and agency. In The Perils of the One, Stathis Gourgouris offers a philosophical anthropology that confronts the legacy of “monarchical thinking”: the desire to subjugate oneself to unitary principles and structures, whether political, moral, theological, or secular. In wide-ranging essays that are at once poetic and polemical, intellectual and passionate, Gourgouris reads across politics and theology, literary and art criticism, psychoanalysis and feminism in a critique of both political theology and the metaphysics of secularism. He engages with a range of figures from the Apostle Paul and Trinitarian theologians, to La Boétie, Schmitt, and Freud, to contemporary thinkers such as Clastres, Said, Castoriadis, Žižek, Butler, and Irigaray. At once a broad perspective on human history and a detailed examination of our present moment, The Perils of the One offers glimpses of what a counterpolitics of autonomy would look like from anarchic subjectivities that refuse external ideals, resist the allure of command and obedience, and embrace otherness.
Download or read book Cultural Heritage Ethics written by Constantine Sandis and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory without practice is empty, practice without theory is blind, to adapt a phrase from Immanuel Kant. The sentiment could not be truer of cultural heritage ethics. This intra-disciplinary book bridges the gap between theory and practice by bringing together a stellar cast of academics, activists, consultants, journalists, lawyers, and museum practitioners, each contributing their own expertise to the wider debate of what cultural heritage means in the twenty-first century. Cultural Heritage Ethics provides cutting-edge arguments built on case studies of cultural heritage and its management in a range of geographical and cultural contexts. Moreover, the volume feels the pulse of the debate on heritage ethics by discussing timely issues such as access, acquisition, archaeological practice, curatorship, education, ethnology, historiography, integrity, legislation, memory, museum management, ownership, preservation, protection, public trust, restitution, human rights, stewardship, and tourism. This volume is neither a textbook nor a manifesto for any particular approach to heritage ethics, but a snapshot of different positions and approaches that will inspire both thought and action. Cultural Heritage Ethics provides invaluable reading for students and teachers of philosophy of archaeology, history and moral philosophy – and for anyone interested in the theory and practice of cultural preservation.

Download or read book Peru and Peruvian Tales written by Helen Maria Williams and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2014-12-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Maria Williams’s epic poem Peru, first published in 1784, movingly recounts the story of Francisco Pizarro’s brutal conquest and exploitation of the Incas and their subsequent revolt against Spain. Like William Wordsworth, who revised The Prelude over the course of his life, Williams revisited her epic several times within almost four decades, transforming it with each revision. It began as an ambitious poetic blueprint for revolution—in terms of politics, gender, religion, and genre. By the time it appeared in 1823, under the title “Peruvian Tales” in her last poetry collection, Williams’s voice had become more moderate, more restrained; in her words, her muse had become “timid,” reflecting the cultural shift that had taken place in England since the poem’s earliest publication. This edition includes both versions of the poem, along with extensive examples of Williams’s literary sources, other poetic works, and the many and varied critical responses from contemporary reviewers.

Book excerpt: Frazer's series which attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice, the dying god, the scapegoat, and many other symbols and practices whose influences had extended into 20th-century culture.
