Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jackson Berman’s career as a criminal-defense attorney was exploding. He was widely reputed to be defender of the innocent and protector of the rights of the guilty. The rightly and wrongly accused wanted him in their corner. But his marriage was imploding. He would stop at nothing to remain in his young daughter’s life, even if it meant giving in to his estranged wife’s whims and demands. While balancing the highs of his professional life with the lows of his personal life, he took on the most important and challenging client of his career—himself. Annoying acts of vandalism quickly escalated to attempts on his life. Searching for the person who wanted him dead, he found himself accused of a horrific crime that could send him to prison for the rest of his life. Who would defend the defender? Certain Truths is a compelling story of one man’s struggle to deal with exaggerations, distortions, and lies and his search for the peace that comes with living with the truth...no matter how ugly it is. “Stephanie Wyler’s ability to take the reader inside the personal and professional life of a criminal defense attorney will send you on a journey of unexpected twists and turns. Each page draws the reader in as the story begs the question: what are certain truths?” Sandy Phillips Kirkham, author of “Let Me Prey Upon You - Breaking Free from a Minister’s Sexual Abuse"

Download or read book We Hold These Truths written by John Courtney Murray and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 publication of We Hold These Truths marked a significant event in the history of modern American thought. Since that time, Sheed & Ward has kept the book in print and has published several studies of John Courtney Murray's life and work. We are proud to present a new edition of this classic text, which features a comprehensive introduction by Peter Lawler that places Murray in the context of Catholic and American history and thought while revealing his relevance today. From the new Introduction by Peter Lawler: The Jesuit John Courtney Murray (1904-67) was, in his time, probably the best known and most widely respected American Catholic writer on the relationship between Catholic philosophy and theology and his country's political life. The highpoint of his influence was the publication of We Hold These Truths in the same year as an election of our country's first Catholic president. Those two events were celebrated by a Time cover story (December 12, 1960) on Murray's work and influence. The story's author, Protestant Douglas Auchincloss, reported that it was "The most relentlessly intellectual cover story I've done." His amazingly wide ranging and dense--if not altogether accurate--account of Murray's thought was crowned with a smart and pointed conclusion: "If anyone can help U.S. Catholics and their non-Catholic countrymen toward the disagreement that precedes understanding--John Courtney Murray can." . . . Murray's work, of course, is treated with great respect and has had considerable influence, but now it's time to begin to think of him as one of America's very few genuine political philosophers. His disarmingly lucid and accessible prose has caused his book to be widely cited and celebrated, but it still is not well understood. It is both praised and blamed for reconciling Catholic faith with the fundamental premises of American political life. It is praised by liberals for paving the way for Vatican II's embrace of the American idea of religious liberty, and it is
Download or read book Some Truths and Other Perversities written by Kalent Zaiz and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some Truths And Other Perversities is a compilation of some theatrical works and scripts for short fictions written by Kalent Zaiz during the point of her life when she was given a break in acting. The works written during the process were created and designed as a concern of an actress, the feelings during the career years in the majority of the projects where she worked. The scripts have strong, masculine characters. After that, she began to start searching for feminine or historical character like Frida Kahlo, whose lives marked a milestone in culture and in the society. Its main objective is to create a strong-willed feminine character and a deep content, away from false vanity and the established prototype. The works of Kalent narrates a real story and daily lives of human life from simple dimension to the most complicated ones.

Download or read book Howard Zinn Some Truths Are Not Self Evident written by Richard Kreitner and published by The Nation Co. LP. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans have read and been galvanized by A People's History of the United States. But many years before Howard Zinn published that epic saga of exploitation and resistance, he was organizing civil-rights protests and agitating for an end to the Vietnam War--and writing about those efforts in the pages of The Nation. From the Atlanta campus of Spelman College (where Zinn taught in the early 1960s) to North Vietnam (where he facilitated the release of American POWs), Zinn was not only an astute observer of history. As Frances Fox Piven writes in the introduction to Some Truths Are Not Self-Evident, "These Nation essays remind us that for nearly fifty years Zinn himself was deeply involved in the major twentieth-century struggles for social justice in the United States." The book also includes later Zinn articles on George W. Bush's wars--on terror, in Iraq, against the poor--as well as a selection of Nation articles about Zinn, concluding with Eric Foner's 2010 obituary for the historian who "was not afraid to speak out about the difference between right and wrong." Nowhere has Zinn's courage and commitment to speaking out been as evident as in Some Truths Are Not Self Evident: Essays in The Nation on Civil Rights, Vietnam and the "War on Terror."
Download or read book Partial Truths and Our Common Future written by Donald A. Crosby and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argues that a pluralistic understanding of truth can foster productive conversations about common concerns involving religion, science, ethics, politics, economics, and ecology without falling into relativism. In this book, Donald A. Crosby defends the idea that all claims to truth are at best partial. Recognizing this, he argues, is a necessary safeguard against arrogance, close-mindedness, and potentially violent reactions to differences of outlook and practice. Crosby demonstrates how partial truths are inevitably at work in conversations and debates about religion, science, morality, economics, ecology, and social and political progress. He then focuses on the concept in the discipline of philosophy, looking at a number of distinctions that are taken to be strictly binarythose between fact and value, continuity and novelty, rationalism and empiricism, mind and body, and good and eviland demonstrates how in all of these cases, each on its own can offer only an incomplete picture. Partial Truths and Our Common Future invites ongoing dialogue with others for the sake of mutual enlargements of understanding rather than mere civility, and provides incentive for continuing open-minded and shared inquiries into the important issues of life. This is a transdisciplinary philosophical work that moves with grace across traditions, time periods, and thinkers. It is a master class in the existential and public relevance of philosophy and a rare example of a book that is both timely and timeless. Michael S. Hogue, author of The Promise of Religious Naturalism

Download or read book Constructed Truths written by Thomas Zoglauer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world in which more and more fake news is being spread, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from lies, knowledge from opinion. Disinformation campaigns are not only perceived as a political problem, but the fake news debate is also about fundamental philosophical questions: What is truth? How can we recognize it? Is there such a thing as objective facts or is everything socially constructed? This book explains how echo chambers and alternative worldviews emerge, it blames post-factual thinking for the current truth crisis, and it shows how we can escape the threat of truth relativism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five Forgotten Truths will call Americas Christians back to the truths that have been, literally, forgotten. If youve ever sat in church and thought, there must be more to it than this, then you need to read this book. It will lead you to a deeper walk with Christ and to a much better understanding of God and His great plan of redemption. What about salvation? Who is saved and how are we saved? Does God really expect us to be holy in our everyday lives? How do we achieve that? And what about stewardship? Do I have to attend church every Sunday to be a Christian? Five Forgotten Truths answers these deeply practical questions but also reveals the big picture answers behind them. Who is God and why did He create us? What is His plan for the world? For me? There really is more to it than this, and this is the book to help you find the answers youve always asked for but have never received.
