Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to questions of religion, legal scholars face a predicament. They often expect to resolve dilemmas according to general principles of equality, neutrality, or the separation of church and state. But such abstractions fail to do justice to the untidy welter of values at stake. Offering new views of how to understand and protect religious freedom in a democracy, The Tragedy of Religious Freedom challenges the idea that matters of law and religion should be referred to far-flung theories about the First Amendment. Examining a broad array of contemporary and more established Supreme Court rulings, Marc DeGirolami explains why conflicts implicating religious liberty are so emotionally fraught and deeply contested. Twenty-first-century realities of pluralism have outrun how scholars think about religious freedom, DeGirolami asserts. Scholars have not been candid enough about the tragic nature of the conflicts over religious liberty—the clash of opposing interests and aspirations they entail, and the limits of human reason to resolve intractable differences. The Tragedy of Religious Freedom seeks to turn our attention from abstracted, absolute values to concrete, historical realities. Social history, characterized by the struggles of lawyers engaged in the details of irreducible conflicts, represents the most promising avenue to negotiate legal conflicts over religion. In this volume, DeGirolami offers an approach to understanding religious liberty that is neither rigidly systematic nor ad hoc, but a middle path grounded in a pluralistic and historically informed perspective.

Download or read book The Tragedy of Human Freedom written by Martien E. Brinkman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human freedom has been the source of both the high points of humanity as well as of its low points, thus giving rise to the impression that it is a somewhat ambivalent concept. According to Martien Brinkman, the major factor in this ambivalence is the rather narrow meaning that the concept has received in the course of history. Freedom is, for the most part, understood as ‘freedom from’ or ‘freedom to’ but only rarely as ‘freedom for’. However, it is precisely this latter understanding that is closest to the Christian understanding of freedom, which Brinkman defines as ‘internal attachment’. In his view Christian freedom is at bottom characterized by that to which one commits oneself in trust. He sees primarily the Christian theology of baptism, with its accent on ‘dying’ and ‘rising’ with Christ as the model for the way in which one acquires freedom. Brinkman illustrates this in this study by means of a great number of biblical images and images borrowed from the historical debates between Augustine and Pelagius and Luther and Erasmus.

Book excerpt: Contemporary Western constitutional systems promised a liberty-based political and social order. Yet over time,liberty has turned into a self-destructive force, as rights claims have been increasingly advanced not to defend negative liberties, but to demand positive action from governments to promote freedom or righteous causes.Freedom and Its Enemies reflects on the demise of liberty from the perspective of political practice and through the lenses of political theory, constitutional law and human rights. The authors contemplate key problems from the broader perspective of constitutionalism and liberty, address the tension between liberty and dignity, and bring case studies on particularly challenging issues to the discussion.The sheer depth and richness of the contributions in this collection make this volume a useful roadmap for a much needed dialogue.

Download or read book Up to Heaven and Down to Hell written by Colin Jerolmack and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting portrait of a rural Pennsylvania town at the center of the fracking controversy Shale gas extraction—commonly known as fracking—is often portrayed as an energy revolution that will transform the American economy and geopolitics. But in greater Williamsport, Pennsylvania, fracking is personal. Up to Heaven and Down to Hell is a vivid and sometimes heartbreaking account of what happens when one of the most momentous decisions about the well-being of our communities and our planet—whether or not to extract shale gas and oil from the very land beneath our feet—is largely a private choice that millions of ordinary people make without the public's consent. The United States is the only country in the world where property rights commonly extend "up to heaven and down to hell," which means that landowners have the exclusive right to lease their subsurface mineral estates to petroleum companies. Colin Jerolmack spent eight months living with rural communities outside of Williamsport as they confronted the tension between property rights and the commonwealth. In this deeply intimate book, he reveals how the decision to lease brings financial rewards but can also cause irreparable harm to neighbors, to communal resources like air and water, and even to oneself. Up to Heaven and Down to Hell casts America’s ideas about freedom and property rights in a troubling new light, revealing how your personal choices can undermine your neighbors’ liberty, and how the exercise of individual rights can bring unintended environmental consequences for us all.

Book excerpt: At midnight on 14 August 1947, Britain's 350-year-old Indian Empire was broken into three pieces.

Patrick French's vivid and surprising account of the chaotic final years of colonial rule in India has been acclaimed as the definitive book on this subject. Journeying across India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, he brings to life a cast of characters including spies, idealists, freedom fighters and politicians from Churchill to Gandhi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information contained in this book contradicts nearly everything you've been led to believe about democracy and "representative government." Based on the groundbreaking research of respected historian Carroll Quigley, "Tragedy and Hope 101" reveals an unimaginably devious political system, skillfully manipulated by a handful of elite, which is undermining freedom and democracy as we know it. The goal of those who control the system, in Quigley's own words, is to dominate "all habitable portions of the world." Using deception, theft, and violence, they have achieved more toward this goal than any rulers in human history. However, the Information Age is quickly derailing their plans. The immorality of their system, and those who serve it, has become nearly impossible to hide. Awareness and resistance are growing...Tragedy is yielding to hope.

This book was released on 2024-05-22 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Decadent Art and Literature, language: English, abstract: This paper contains the analysis of the selected scenes of Michael Field’ play "Attila, my Attila!", examined through the prism of Nikolas Berdiaev’s work "The Destiny of Man". Specifically, the perception of human tragedy in both works was touched upon: The authors declare its entanglement with human freedom. According to Field and Berdiaev, to respond to tragedy, one must act and fight against the imposed artificial norms, dictated by secular and religious institutions. By acting, one reveals their vital creative potential that provides them with inner strength that is impossible to be ruined by any calamities. A similar concept of tragedy can also be traced in the works of Nikolas Berdiaev, Russian Orthodox philosopher of the 20th century. Although there is no evidence that he could ever read Field’s play (which is overall highly unlikely), Berdiaev writes about tragedy, freedom, creativeness, and personality in a way that chimes with that of Field’s. In Berdiaev’s ethical system, a human is inherently endowed with freedom by God; However, freedom makes life tragic because it brings responsibility for one’s choice. The only way to overcome tragedy is to embrace creativeness — a quality that differs an individual, which is a biological category, from a wholesome personality. These ideas are represented in the most prominent Berdiaev’s works. In this paper, analysis of tragedy, as it was understood by the philosopher, will be carried out on the material of "The Destiny of Man" (Berdiaev: 1931, quoted as D.M.). Berdiaev’s core ideas, reflected in this book, will be applied to "Attila, my Attila!" in order to discover similarities and differences in the way the three authors in question viewed the tragedy of human life. It is important to stress that Field’s work is mostly focused on tragedy from a female angle, while Berdiaev explores this notion in a more general, human sense.
