Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the Science of Purpose Atheistic scientists have lied about humanity’s intelligent design for centuries, and their lies have decayed our culture into the social dystopia continually ripening before our eyes. Life and death have purpose, and we belong to all of it, which the ancient Greeks understood as Telos, meaning "the end as it was intended." Join Dr. Stephen Iacoboni, award-winning cancer specialist, as he recounts his impassioned search to discover humanity’s true origin and purpose. Not only does he address in plain, straightforward language how modern science points inextricably to God’s hand on earth, but he also ● reviews the history of western science and philosophy, ● challenges misguided theories from academic titans such as Aristotle, Newton, and Darwin, ● addresses complex questions regarding the human soul, ● equips the nonscientist with a confident understanding of how science validates faith, and ● helps readers reclaim a profound sense of individual purpose and meaning. The time has come to resurrect ancient biblical truth and restore it to its rightful place. It will be a battle royale for the hearts and minds of our civilization, but the treasure is our spiritual inheritance—the greatest gift we will ever receive.

Download or read book Telos and Technos written by Norman L. Roth and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Telos and Technos, Norman L. Roth breaks out of the strait-jacket of contemporary economic 'paradigms' with a clearly presented systematic remedy for our current economic theory that does not work in the real world of economic truths and consequences. For the first time, the static assumptions that have leeched so much of the credibility out of the dominant "neoclassical" models are put in their place. Truly dynamic concepts of technological time, change in consumer tastes and their measurable impact on the natural environment that must sustain us, are integrated into an interactive system of economic thought. This economic analysis and solution asks: "What are the causes of work?" How do they explain the official statistics of employment, unemployment, and labor participation? The assumption that full employment equilibrium is the natural state towards which an economy gravitates is jettisoned in favor of a far more realistic explanation of how a society really creates jobs. Serious limitations are revealed about our conceit that modern complex economics can be forced into "gyroscopic" stability by simply pressing the right buttons marked "interest rates" and "money-supply." Roth offers a vital and hopeful message to those who fear that modern economics has lost its way as a practical guide to modern society.
Download or read book A New Basis for Animal Ethics written by Bernard E. Rollin and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the culmination of forty years of theorizing about the moral status of animals, explicates and justifies society’s moral obligation to animals in terms of the commonsense metaphysics and ethics ofAristotle’s concept of telos. Rollin uses this concept to assert that humans have a responsibility to treat animals ethically. Aristotle used the concept, from the Greek word for "end" or "purpose," as the core explanatory concept for the world we live in. We understand what an animal is by what it does. This is the nature of an animal, and helps us understand our obligations to animals.
Download or read book Myth Telos Identity written by Iván Nyusztay and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iván Nyusztay’s Myth, Telos, Identity: The Tragic Schema in Greek and Shakespearean Drama for the first time presents a systematic comparison of Greek and Shakespearean tragedy. By thematizing the common modes of the tragic, it measures their structural regularities against corresponding philosophical and ethical reflections. The comparative theory of tragedy evolves through a constant debate with the traditional views of Aristotle, Hegel, Schelling, Paul Ricoeur, and others. An architectonic survey of plays leads to a generic distinction between pure tragedy and melodrama, and proposes a possible description of Christian tragedy. This generic differentiation is considered by means of a teleological approach to tragedy as well as from a formal perspective. The criticism of traditional notions of character stresses the relevance of dividedness and internal collision – tragic phenomena which are explored as necessary stages of self in the constitution and formation of tragic or internal alterity. This form of alterity is underpinned by a discussion of action theory and speech act theory. This book will be of interest for readers of Greek and Shakespearean drama, as well as for students of comparative literature and genre theory, classicists and philosophers, and for everyone interested in the relation between literature and philosophy.
Download or read book The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction written by Henry T. Greely and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Will the future confront us with human GMOs? Greely provocatively declares yes, and, while clearly explaining the science, spells out the ethical, political, and practical ramifications.”—Paul Berg, Nobel Laureate and recipient of the National Medal of Science Within twenty, maybe forty, years most people in developed countries will stop having sex for the purpose of reproduction. Instead, prospective parents will be told as much as they wish to know about the genetic makeup of dozens of embryos, and they will pick one or two for implantation, gestation, and birth. And it will be safe, lawful, and free. In this work of prophetic scholarship, Henry T. Greely explains the revolutionary biological technologies that make this future a seeming inevitability and sets out the deep ethical and legal challenges humanity faces as a result. “Readers looking for a more in-depth analysis of human genome modifications and reproductive technologies and their legal and ethical implications should strongly consider picking up Greely’s The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction... [It has] the potential to empower readers to make informed decisions about the implementation of advancements in genetics technologies.” —Dov Greenbaum, Science “[Greely] provides an extraordinarily sophisticated analysis of the practical, political, legal, and ethical implications of the new world of human reproduction. His book is a model of highly informed, rigorous, thought-provoking speculation about an immensely important topic.” —Glenn C. Altschuler, Psychology Today
Download or read book A First Course in Discrete Mathematics written by Brian Lian and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-10-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on many years'experience of teaching discrete mathem atics to students of all levels, Anderson introduces such as pects as enumeration, graph theory and configurations or arr angements. Starting with an introduction to counting and rel ated problems, he moves on to the basic ideas of graph theor y with particular emphasis on trees and planar graphs. He de scribes the inclusion-exclusion principle followed by partit ions of sets which in turn leads to a study of Stirling and Bell numbers. Then follows a treatment of Hamiltonian cycles, Eulerian circuits in graphs, and Latin squares as well as proof of Hall's theorem. He concludes with the constructions of schedules and a brief introduction to block designs. Each chapter is backed by a number of examples, with straightforw ard applications of ideas and more challenging problems.
Download or read book Narrative and Identity in the Ancient Greek Novel written by Tim Whitmarsh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek romance was for the Roman period what epic was for the Archaic period or drama for the Classical: the central literary vehicle for articulating ideas about the relationship between self and community. This book offers a reading of the romance both as a distinctive narrative form (using a range of narrative theories) and as a paradigmatic expression of identity (social, sexual and cultural). At the same time it emphasises the elasticity of romance narrative and its ability to accommodate both conservative and transformative models of identity. This elasticity manifests itself partly in the variation in practice between different romancers, some of whom are traditionally Hellenocentric while others are more challenging. Ultimately, however, it is argued that it reflects a tension in all romance narrative, which characteristically balances centrifugal against centripetal dynamics. This book will interest classicists, historians of the novel and students of narrative theory.

Book excerpt: Monasticism in the Mediterranean: Now and Tomorrow In this edition of Telos, the contributors were asked to offer readers their views and their personal stories in monasticism in its present form in in the Mediterranean. The continuing existence of monasticism in the twenty-first century may seem anachronistic to some and a quaint continuity to others. As the contributors to this edition of Telos demonstrate, the monastic call answers a deeper spiritual manifestation in the individual, transcending history. From the Mediterranean origins of this form of monasticism to today's Mediterranean reality, the monk is a comforting reference point, living a labour of love to God's eternal promise With articles by Aldo CAVALLI, Grigorios D. PAPATHOMAS, Salvino BUSUTTIL, Edward G. FARRUGIA, Henri TEISSIER, Robert FOUQUEZ, Frère MARIE PÂQUES.
