Download or read book On Earth Beneath Sky written by Chath pierSath and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of poems and short prose by a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia in which the author, Chath pierSath, describes in vivid detail his refugee journey, resettlement in America, return to Cambodia, and continuing effort to find meaning and fulfillment in his adopted country of the United States. In rich and revealing detail, the author documents the damage to the Cambodian people by political fanatics and the after-effects in that nation struggling to regain its footing. Through the author's eyes, soul, and mind, we experience the challenge and eventual joys in assimilation as he embraces American freedom, and in the spirit of Walt Whitman he celebrates his life as a gay man, exploring "the body electric" and the ensuing ecstasies and at times despair. This is the voice of the new American who sounds much like the classic newcomer to the U.S., the immigrant "who gets the job done" as sung in "Hamilton." With this book, Chath pierSath adds to the narrative of America as the sum of its diverse people who carry their stories from around the world and through their lives define what it means to be American.

Book excerpt: A sequel to The Death of Christian Culture, this spiritual treatise covers social, cultural, and political topics. It explores the importance of religious knowledge and faith to the health of a culture, provides a historical sketch of the change in cultural and educational standards over the last two centuries, and illustrates how literary and other visual arts either contribute to a culture or conspire to tear it down. Compared to a series of sermons, this analysis explains that there is a continuing extinction of the cultural patrimony of ancient Greece, Rome, medieval Europe, and the early modern period of Western civilization, owing to the pervasive bureaucratization, mechanization, and standardization of increasing materialism.

Download or read book Theodicy written by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Theodicy" is a book of philosophy by the German polymath Gottfried Leibniz published in 1710, whose optimistic approach to the problem of evil is thought to have inspired Voltaire's "Candide". Much of the work consists of a response to the ideas of the French philosopher Pierre Bayle, with whom Leibniz carried on a debate for many years. The "Theodicy" tries to justify the apparent imperfections of the world by claiming that it is optimal among all possible worlds. It must be the best possible and most balanced world, because it was created by an all powerful and all knowing God, who would not choose to create an imperfect world if a better world could be known to him or possible to exist. In effect, apparent flaws that can be identified in this world must exist in every possible world, because otherwise God would have chosen to create the world that excluded those flaws. Leibniz distinguishes three forms of evil: moral, physical, and metaphysical. Moral evil is sin, physical evil is pain, and metaphysical evil is limitation. God permits moral and physical evil for the sake of greater goods, and metaphysical evil is unavoidable since any created universe must necessarily fall short of God's absolute perfection.
