Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a bit of science, philosophy, nature, and beauty. It provides some concepts of life involving the source of all energy--the sun--and how its energy is utilized through basic chemistry to form various food sources from vegetation. From these various forms of vegetation--the most abundant food source available on earth--all life is able to flourish. Numerous animals including aquatics, fowl, and a wide variety of mammals are able to utilize this vegetation to sustain life, give beauty to the world, and live in harmony with nature. The book lists a number of great men who were visionaries and understood the natural laws of the universe. These visionaries of centuries past shared their ideas on vegetarianism, respect for animals, and life in general. The book alludes to an interconnectedness of life and tries to convey that our world can become a better place when there is care and concern for all creatures capable of sensation.

Download or read book The Suffering Animal written by Simone Ghelli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical and innovative reassessment of contemporary debate on the human-animal relationship. Starting with a critique of the “official philosophical narration” of animal studies, and then a reassessment of Descartes' animal-machine paradigm, Simone Ghelli tracks down the conceptual coordinates of what he calls “the paradigm of the suffering animal.” The suffering animal is a materialist thesis on the condition of the living, which, while contesting the metaphysical and anthropocentric structure of western axiology, eventually redefines and re-establishes ethics on the experience of suffering, that is on the mutual compassion sentient beings feel before the unjust sight of their finitude. The suffering animal paradigm shows how, within our philosophical tradition, the animal question has been always intertwined with the questions of atheism and of materialism. The ultimate aim of this research is to define the “ethical equilibrium” between aspects of the living, such as weakness and power, joy and suffering, life and death, which our philosophical tradition largely tends to consider as mutually excluding. To overcome such oppositions means avoiding opposing, in our ethical and political discourse, the defense of the vulnerability of the weak and the freedom of the powerful.
Download or read book Omalugo written by Chimezie Jude L. Ogborogu and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It’s not a mere claim that Omalugo is an iconic thought and observations carefully expressed in this masterpiece. It is an anticipated, a deliberate, and a focused attempt towards making the reader think and ideologically reason like the human we supposed we are. Remove the humanity in us, we become practically like every other wild animal known to man. ‘Ede’ in Omalugo depicts the like of some born into fragmented and unbargained circumstance, who suffer not because of the fault of theirs but for wickedness in man. ‘Agbomma’ can be literally likened to ordinary beasts, people full of hate, jealousy, and greed, just for the sake of it, tribe that appropriate superiority to themselves. Omalugo is a knowledge-based book, deliberately encrypted to unlock the mental potentials in us. This hall isn’t designed for the lazy mind “for they have eyes but couldn’t see, and ears but couldn’t hear,” (Jeremiah 5:21). Knowledge is a cosmic phenomenon. It transcends sociopolitical, racial, cultural, and religious boundaries. Love, justice, and equity are natural characteristics of God we claim we have. But any spirituality, knowledge, or education that is void of the aforementioned is a mere fantasy. Truth has been chemically adulterated, morphologically mutilated, and etymologically raped or abused. This actuates the unassailable difficulty in understanding who we are amid the ubiquitous. Suffice it to say, the nature is ever willing for the minds that are sincerely willing to know. I wish you understand as you read. Success always knock at the door of those who do ask questions, who do think, and who are willing to be the change so wished.”

Download or read book The Mythology of the Animal Farm in Children s Literature written by Stacy E. Hoult-Saros and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mythology of the Animal Farm in Children’s Literature: Over the Fence analyzes the ways in which myths about farmed animals’ lives are perpetuated in children’s materials. Specifically, this book investigates the use of five recurring thematic devices in about eighty books for young children published during the past five decades. The close readings of texts and images draw on a wide range of fields, including animal theory, psychoanalytic and Marxian literary criticism, child development theory, histories of farming and domestication, and postcolonial theory. In spite of the underlying seriousness of the project, the material lends itself to humorous and not overly heavy-handed explications that provide insight into the complex workings of a literary genre based on the covering up of real animal lives.
