Download or read book Circuitous Journeys written by David J. Leigh and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circuitous Journeys: Modern Spiritual Autobiography provides a close reading and analysis of ten major life stories by twentieth-century leaders and thinkers from a variety of religious and cultural traditions: Mohandas Gandhi, Black Elk, Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, C. S. Lewis, Malcolm X, Paul Cowan, Rigoberta Menchu, Dan Wakefield, and Nelson Mandela. The book uses approaches from literary criticism, developmental psychology (influenced by Erik Erikson, James Fowler, and Carol Gilligan), and spirituality (influenced by John S. Donne, Emile Griffin, Walter Conn, and Bernard Lonergan). Each text is read in the light of the autobiographical tradition begun by St. Augustine’s Confessions, but with a focus on distinctively modern and post-modern transformations of the self-writing genre. The twentieth-century context of religious alienation, social autonomy, identity crises and politics, and the search for social justice is examined in each text.

Download or read book Thinking the Poetic Measure of Justice written by Charles Bambach and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2013-05-19 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new reading of justice engaging the work of two philosophical poets who stand in conversation with the work of Martin Heidegger. What is the measure of ethics? What is the measure of justice? And how do we come to measure the immeasurability of these questions? Thinking the Poetic Measure of Justice situates the problem of justice in the interdisciplinary space between philosophy and poetry in an effort to explore the sources of ethical life in a new way. Charles Bambach engages the works of two philosophical poets who stand as the bookends of modernity—Friedrich Hölderlin (1770–1843) and Paul Celan (1920–1970)—offering close textual readings of poems from each that define and express some of the crucial problems of German philosophical thought in the twentieth century: tensions between the native and the foreign, the proper and the strange, the self and the other. At the center of this philosophical conversation between Hölderlin and Celan, Bambach places the work of Martin Heidegger to rethink the question of justice in a nonlegal, nonmoral register by understanding it in terms of poetic measure. Focusing on Hölderlin’s and Heidegger’s readings of pre-Socratic philosophy and Greek tragedy, as well as on Celan’s reading of Kabbalah, he frames the problem of poetic justice against the trauma of German destruction in the twentieth century.

Download or read book Cosmic Energy The Relativity Phenomena written by Dr. M.L. Gupta and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2014-10-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rig-Veda mantra (10.190.1) mentions the ocean of cosmic energy as the fourth step in the sequence of creation of the universe. The name given to it in the mantra is 'Samudro Arnava' meaning the wavy ocean, which name is quite appropriate, since the ocean transmits all kinds of electro-magnetic waves. The Veda describes cosmic energy in different contexts by different epithets in view of the various qualities it possesses. In the context of the sustenance of the universe, which is a fatherly act accomplished by it, the epithet given to this all-pervading medium is 'Brahma tattva' meaning the extensive element, while in the context of the birth of eight elementary particles from this basic space-energy, which is a motherly act, the epithet given to it is Aditi', which is a feminine word meaning limitless and indivisible. The names of the elementary particles born from the ocean of cosmic energy in its entire infinite expanse with their corresponding scientific names are: Mitra (electron), Varun (Proton), Aryama (Neutron), Bhag meson), Daksh(π meson), Ansh( meson), Tuvijat (neutrino) and Martand (Photon) Since all the matter of the visible universe has been created with elementary particles, it is all basically nothing but cosmic energy or Aditi, the mother of all material creation. This important truth has been beautifully expressed in the following mantra of the Yajur-Veda. The starry sky is Aditi, the mid-region is Aditi, the mother earth, the father sun, and their child the moon are Aditi. All Gods i.e. natural forces are due to Aditi. The five born (elementary particles or Fermions) are Aditi, whatever has been born is, and shall be born, would be basically Aditi or cosmic energy. And all the material universe remains and shall ever remain immersed in the 'Arnava Samudra' i.e. the infinite wavy ocean of Cosmic Energy.

Download or read book The Initiate written by Cyril Scott and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 1981-06-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Initiate presents the unfolding story of the fascinating and mysterious personality known as Justin Moreward Haig. The story is of absorbing interest to students of the spiritual path because they learn that Mahatmas and Masters do not live in seclusion, nor are they necessarily wellknown teachers and authorities. The spiritual path can be found by people of diverse nationalities and races. Here we learn the veiled history of an Adept who lived and worked within his community, hiding his true identity for the convincing reason discussed in this book. Also included are excerpts from the discourse of the author’s Master, in which some of the most profound truths are stated in an original and compelling manner.

Download or read book Self Reference written by S.J. Bartlett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-reference, although a topic studied by some philosophers and known to a number of other disciplines, has received comparatively little explicit attention. For the most part the focus of studies of self-reference has been on its logical and linguistic aspects, with perhaps disproportionate emphasis placed on the reflexive paradoxes. The eight-volume Macmillan Encyclopedia of Philosophy, for example, does not contain a single entry in its index under "self-reference", and in connection with "reflexivity" mentions only "relations", "classes", and "sets". Yet, in this volume, the introductory essay identifies some 75 varieties and occurrences of self-reference in a wide range of disciplines, and the bibliography contains more than 1,200 citations to English language works about reflexivity. The contributed papers investigate a number of forms and applications of self-reference, and examine some of the challenges posed by its difficult temperament. The editors hope that readers of this volume will gain a richer sense of the sti11largely unexplored frontiers of reflexivity, and of the indispensability of reflexive concepts and methods to foundational inquiries in philosophy, logic, language, and into the freedom, personality and intelligence of persons.
