Download or read book Readings in Later Chinese Philosophy written by Justin Tiwald and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exceptional contribution to the teaching and study of Chinese thought, this anthology provides fifty-eight selections arranged chronologically in five main sections: Han Thought, Chinese Buddhism, Neo-Confucianism, Late Imperial Confucianism, and the Twentieth Century. The editors have selected writings that have been influential, that are philosophically engaging, and that can be understood as elements of an ongoing dialogue, particularly on issues regarding ethical cultivation, human nature, virtue, government, and the underlying structure of the universe. Within those topics, issues of contemporary interest, such as Chinese ideas about gender and the experiences of women, are brought to light. Introductions to each main section provide an overview of the period, while brief headnotes to selections highlight key points. The translations are the works of many distinguished scholars, and were chosen for their accuracy and accessibility, especially for students, general readers, and scholars who do not read Chinese. Special effort has been made to maintain consistency of key terms across translations. Also included are a glossary, bibliography, index of names, and an index locorum of The Four Books.
Download or read book Reflections Of An American Political Prisoner written by Michael O. Billington and published by Executive Intelligence Review. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Billington, the author of this autobiographical memoir, is one of a dozen individuals who were sent to prison in 1989 with America's foremost statesman, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. Sentenced to 77 years by George Bush's “Get LaRouche Task Force,” he spent his imprisonment in study and writing--to bridge the divide between East and West. Empire is based upon the ancient principle of divide and rule; by clearing up misunderstandings among cultures, he was able to play a leading role in putting together the combination of forces today oriented around the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) which have in large measure now adopted the “The New Silk Road” policies of LaRouche, EIR and the Schiller Institute for Hamiltonian scientific progress for the benefit of all mankind. Included in this book are 2 very important studies by Billington which every literate person should read to be able to understand Asia, China and the path to bring America into the win-win paradigm of a better future.

Download or read book Encounters in World History Sources and Themes from the Global Past Volume One written by Samuel Nelson and published by McGraw-Hill Humanities, Social Sciences & World Languages. This book was released on 2005-04-21 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is an encounter with the past, and the past is a history of encounters. Encounters in World History is designed to introduce students to both of these sorts of encounters. Using primary and visual sources, the authors employ the encounter theme as a fundamental organizing principle. By nesting sources in thematically integrated chapters, comparison and analysis of sources can be more substantive, while also providing more internal structure for instructors. At the same time, this is a world history reader, and it follows a chronological format. The material has been presented in such a way that instructors can craft their own courses, emphasizing the aspects they think most important. Chapters are organized so that the general theme is presented in a chapter introduction and then revisited in the separate introductions to specific readings. The readers can be used to highlight preferred eras, cultural zones, or themes, or a unique mixture of all three.

Mark Stern - Psychoanalyst Professor Emeritus of Psychology - Iona College "An honest and provocative book which challenges contemporary political correctness...well worth reading." - Bishop Thomas V.Dailey Retired Bishop of Brooklyn, New York and West Palm Beach, Florida This book is the culmination of a lifetime of experiences. Father James Lloyd has been a New York state licensed psychologist for 30 years with a PhD in psychology from NYU. He likes to say "I am half Russian Jew and half Irish but ALL Catholic. My parents were Vaudevillians and I was a classic 'dirty neck kid' from San Juan Hill in West Side Manhattan." As an adult, Lloyd spent time as a missionary in southern Africa, taught theology, was the rector of a seminary, and hosted an interview show on WNBC for 15 years. On his show, he interviewed a tremendous variety of celebrities, including Bill Buckley Jr., Mother Teresa, David Susskind and Jackie Gleason. He worked with divorced and separated Catholics, with widows and widowers. He preached missions in parishes, gave retreats to clergy, taught psychology on the undergraduate level and was the Director of the Graduate Division of Pastoral Counseling at Iona College for 20 years. Since retirement, he runs a weekly group for the Archdiocese of New York to help males who seek inner chastity in the face of their strong same sex attractions. He has seen miracles of God's grace in all aspects of life. This book presents a series of convictions about life and its meaning through the eyes of what he has seen of life. Each writing articulates his beliefs and a deeply personal view of the world as it stands today.
