This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this history of the development of ideas of honor in Western philosophy, Peter Olsthoorn examines what honor is, how its meaning has changed, and whether it can still be of use. Political and moral philosophers from Cicero to John Stuart Mill thought that a sense of honor and concern for our reputation could help us to determine the proper thing to do, and just as important, provide us with the much-needed motive to do it. Today, outside of the military and some other pockets of resistance, the notion of honor has become seriously out of date, while the term itself has almost disappeared from our moral language. Most of us think that people ought to do what is right based on a love for jus-tice rather than from a concern with how we are perceived by others. Wide-ranging and accessible, the book explores the role of honor in not only philosophy but also literature and war to make the case that honor can still play an important role in contemporary life.

Download or read book Honolulu Sketches of Life in the Hawaiian Islands from 1828 to 1861 written by Laura Fish Judd and published by Chicago : Lakeside Press. This book was released on 1966 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Honolulu is not a diary, not even a rewritten 'journal.' It is an autobiography, and surely one of the most interesting of its kind--richly embroidered reminiscences of a continuously eventful period in the history of the Hawaiian kingdom--a monarchy that was fully constituted only eighteen years before Mrs. Judd reached the Islands, and endured only twenty-one years after her death in 1872. With her husband, Dr. Gerrit P. Judd, she was a faithful and hard-working member of the missionary community from 1828 to 1842, when he separated from the mission to labor for the Hawaiian government ; and for eleven years after that she had exceptional opportunities to observe from inside the strains and stresses that beset the kingdom."--Historical introduction, page xv

Download or read book Drawing from Life written by Christine I. Ho and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from Life explores revolutionary drawing and sketching in the early People’s Republic of China (1949–1965) in order to discover how artists created a national form of socialist realism. Tracing the development of seminal works by the major painters Xu Beihong, Wang Shikuo, Li Keran, Li Xiongcai, Dong Xiwen, and Fu Baoshi, author Christine I. Ho reconstructs how artists grappled with the representational politics of a nascent socialist art. The divergent approaches, styles, and genres presented in this study reveal an art world that is both heterogeneous and cosmopolitan. Through a history of artistic practices in pursuit of Maoist cultural ambitions—to forge new registers of experience, new structures of feeling, and new aesthetic communities—this original book argues that socialist Chinese art presents a critical, alternative vision for global modernism.

Download or read book Honolulu written by Laura Fish Judd and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honolulu: Sketches of Life, Social, Political, and Religious, in the Hawaiian Islands, From 1828 to 1861 As the reader will see, this book is not designed to be a history of the Hawaiian Islands. It does not occupy the field taken by the historians Dibble, Bingham or Jarves, nor that of the later writers, Nordhoff, Miss Bird or Mr. Chaney. My mother's narrative is a compilation of the personal recollections of one who had rare opportunities for observation among the chiefs and people of Hawaii from the year 1828. The intimate connection of my father with Hawaiian history would entitle him to say without egotism, "Quorum pars magna fui," and this work is occupied so largely with describing his agency in building the ship of State of this little kingdom, that it may be regarded more as a tribute to his memory, than as an attempt at history-writing. But few of the actors in the scenes portrayed now survive, and the twenty years that have elapsed since they were written have, I trust, dulled the sensitiveness of those who might think some of the reflections are too severe or of too personal a nature to be published.
