Book excerpt: ‘’ The brain has a unique function’’. It was December the journey of icy morning peering slowly moving dusky lights from clouds. As I said “the brain has a unique function’’ my brain pressures me for mounting on the theme of Love this winter. Love; is one thing that inspired the greatest of poets and playwrights like Rumi, Pablo Neruda, John Keats, Emily Bronte, Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Robert Burns, etc. Their writing is the reflection of their composition of words and the content they offer to readers. Therefore I choose this theme as a capsule for my co-author; as we know love is a basic human need though it complicates emotion at the same time, but love is a hard to define emotion like the painting of Picasso a brilliant and wonderful art tell us one thing about love, as he quotes’’Love is the greatest refreshment in life” it is a feeling which all humankind experienced in life. I define love as a universal language that will never lose its significance or beauty. Love suits each and every person differently whether love is between lovers, friends, family, or nature it is an overwhelming emotion that can be experienced in many ways. The concept of love has a variety of feelings, emotions, and behaviours. It is a desire to love and care other in a hard wired and deep- hearted. Love is an unimaginable and also it can never be summarized by an action neither it can ever be expressed by words.

Download or read book Knowledge Love and Ecstasy in the Theology of Thomas Gallus written by Boyd Taylor Coolman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge, Love, and Ecstasy in the Theology of Thomas Gallus provides the first full study of Thomas Gallus (d. 1246) in English and represents a significant advance in his distinctive theology. Boyd Taylor Coolman argues that Gallus distinguishes, but never separates and intimately relates two international modalities in human consciousness: the intellective and the affective, both of which are forms of cognition. Coolman shows that Gallus conceives these two cognitive modalities as co-existing in an interdependent manner, and that this reciprocity is given a particular character by Gallus anthropological appropriation of the Dionysian concept of hierarchy. Because Gallus conceives of the soul as hierarchized on the model of the angelic hierarchy, the intellect-affect relationship is fundamentally governed by the dynamism of a Dionysian hierarchy, which has two simultaneous trajectories: ascending and descending. Two crucial features are noteworthy in this regard: in ascending, firstly, the lower is subsumed by the higher; in descending, secondly, the higher communicates with the lower, according to the nature of the lower. When Gallus posits a higher, affective cognitio above an intellective cognitio at the highest point in the ascent, accordingly, this higher affective form both builds upon and sublimates the lower intellective form. At the same time, this affective cognitio descends back down into the soul, both enriching its properly intellective capacity and also renewing the ascending movement in love. For Gallus, then, in the hierarchized soul a dynamic mutuality between intellect and affect emerges, which he construes as a spiralling motion, by which the soul unceasingly stretches beyond itself, ecstatically, in knowing and loving God.
Download or read book Transformations of Love written by Frances Harris and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most controversial episode in the life of the seventeenth-century virtuoso and diarist John Evelyn has always been his passionate, complex friendship with the Restoration maid of honour Margaret Blagge, afterwards Mrs Godolphin. His 'Life of Mrs Godolphin', written after her early death in childbirth, exalted the friendship and represented her as effectively a saint. They saw their intense friendship as platonic spiritual mentoring. Yet it is sometimes argued that what took place between them was actually a kind of seduction on Evelyn's part; that far from trying to overcome her religious scruples about marriage to a young man she deeply loved, as he afterwards claimed, he secretly encouraged them in order to keep her in his power, and even falsified some documents to conceal this from her husband, whose patronage he sought. Was Evelyn in his way as much a sexual predator as the Restoration rakes he professed to despise, or does the episode provide a window on an unexplored aspect of early modern spirituality? Undoubtedly there was more to the friendship than Evelyn publicly admitted, but it remains a puzzle still to be interpreted. This new study is based on Evelyn's papers, now fully accessible for the first time, and on important and hitherto unknown correspondence between Margaret Blagge and her future husband. It situates the episode fully within the pre- and post-Reformation debates concerning marriage and friendship (the latter seen by some as 'more a sacrament' than marriage) and the long traditions of platonic love and intense friendships between men and women in religious contexts. Its diverse and vividly realized settings include the glamorous, disreputable public household of the Restoration court and the great gardens of the day, at once 'little worlds' in microcosm and recreations of paradise on earth.

Download or read book The Halle Orphanage as Scientific Community written by Kelly Joan Whitmer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded around 1700 by a group of German Lutherans known as Pietists, the Halle Orphanage became the institutional headquarters of a universal seminar that still stands largely intact today. It was the base of an educational, charitable, and scientific community and consisted of an elite school for the sons of noblemen; schools for the sons of artisans, soldiers, and preachers; a hospital; an apothecary; a bookshop; a botanical garden; and a cabinet of curiosity containing architectural models, naturalia, and scientific instruments. Yet, its reputation as a Pietist enclave inhabited largely by young people has prevented the organization from being taken seriously as a kind of scientific academy—even though, Kelly Joan Whitmer shows, this is precisely what it was. The Halle Orphanage as Scientific Community calls into question a long-standing tendency to view German Pietists as anti-science and anti-Enlightenment, arguing that these tendencies have drawn attention away from what was actually going on inside the orphanage. Whitmer shows how the orphanage’s identity as a scientific community hinged on its promotion of philosophical eclecticism as a tool for assimilating perspectives and observations and working to perfect one’s abilities to observe methodically. Because of the link between eclecticism and observation, Whitmer reveals, those teaching and training in Halle’s Orphanage contributed to the transformation of scientific observation and its related activities in this period.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original and thought-provoking, this collection sheds new light on an important yet understudied feature of seventeenth-century England's political and cultural landscape: exile. It considers exile both as physical displacement from England-to France, Germany, the Low Countries and America-and as inner, mental withdrawal. The essays assembled here demonstrate, among other things, both the shared and highly individual experiences in exile of figures conspicuously diverse in political and religious allegiance.

Download or read book Treatise on the Love of God written by Saint Francis de Sales and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on 2017-05-28 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE following Treatise presents, at first sight, considerable difficulties. They do not arise from any defect in the Saint’s mode of expression, but are inherent in his subject and manner of treatment, “going deep down into the roots” of the Love of God. Thus he speaks in his Preface, and continues: “The first four books, and some chapters of the others might doubtless have been omitted without disadvantage to such souls as seek only the practice of holy love. . . . I have been forced to say many things which will appear more obscure than they are. The depths of science are always somewhat hard to sound.” But he tells us that the state of the minds of his age required this deeper treatment; and whatever may be thought as to the best way of presenting modern religious teaching to an age so ignorant, so shallow and so unthinking as is our own with regard to spiritual truths, there can be no question that this masterpiece of the chief doctor of ascetic theology must not be brought down to our level, but that we must raise ourselves towards it.

Download or read book Reason Revelation and Devotion written by William J. Wainwright and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reason, Revelation, and Devotion argues that immersion in religious reading traditions and their associated spiritual practices significantly shapes our emotions, desires, intuitions, and volitional commitments; these in turn affect our construction and assessments of arguments for religious conclusions. But far from distorting the reasoning process, these emotions and volitional and cognitive dispositions can be essential for sound reasoning on religious and other value-laden subject matters. And so western philosophy must rethink its traditional antagonism toward rhetoric. The book concludes with discussions of the implications of the earlier chapters for the relation between reason and revelation, and for the role that the concept of mystery should play in philosophy in general, and in the philosophy of religion and philosophical theology in particular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Social History of Truth, a leading scholar addresses these universal questions through an elegant recreation of a crucial period in the history of early modern science: the social world of gentlemen-philosophers in seventeenth-century England. Steven Shapin paints a vivid picture of the relations between gentlemanly culture and scientific practice. He argues that problems of credibility in science were solved through the codes and conventions of genteel conduct: trust, civility, honor, and integrity.

Download or read book HOLY ANGELS written by SEBASTIAN CHUKWUMA ANOKWULU and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a testimony of faith to reawaken in the reader the presence and ministry of the Holy Angels as ordained by God and revealed in the Holy Bible. The Holy Angels as Messengers of God are never treated in isolation from God. Whenever and wherever they are mentioned in the Scriptures, it is always to inform us further about God's love and care for man. Using wide range of Biblical citations and narratives from the OT and NT, the early Christian community, the Church Fathers, lives of some famous Saints and personal encounters, the author leads the reader to see that these Holy Messengers still minister to us today. The book strongly re-emphasizes the truths about the love and care of the Holy Angels to man as commanded by God. Where there is light, there is no darkness. Demons or evil spirits do not work where the Holy Angels minister. Whoever believes in the works of the devil should believe more in the ministry of the Holy Angels because it is in their absence that the evil one operates. The author wants the reader to realize that as life is miserable without light and light energy, so miserable is a life without the presence and ministry of the Holy Angels. God sent them to help those who are to "inherit salvation" (Heb. 1:14).
