This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays written at various times and for various objects. In this book, it will be found that the first three essays belong to the class described as Pleas, and the last three more or less to that of Discussions. The author of this book pleads that: The Scientific Spirit of the Age, while it has given us many precious things, is, in its present exorbitant development, depriving us of things more precious still. The Education of the Emotions (to be carried on chiefly through the contagion of good and noble sentiments) is an object of paramount importance, albeit nearly ignored in ordinary systems of education. With the present disintegration of all religious opinion, Judaism may yet become a progressive, and cease to be merely a tribal, faith; and, if it absorbs the moral and spiritual essence of Christianity, it may solve the great problem of combining a theology consonant to modern philosophy with worship hallowed by the sacred associations of the remotest past. In the last three essays, the author discusses: The relation of Knowledge to Happiness The real—as distinguished from the conventional—character of our common processes of Thought The respective claims of Town and Country Life to be esteemed most healthy and felicitous for body and mind.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Animal Ethics written by Andrew Linzey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-29 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethical treatment of non-human animals is an increasingly significant issue, directly affecting how people share the planet with other creatures and visualize themselves within the natural world. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Animal Ethics is a key reference source in this area, looking specifically at the role religion plays in the formation of ethics around these concerns. Featuring thirty-five chapters by a team of international contributors, the handbook is divided into two parts. The first gives an overview of fifteen of the major world religions’ attitudes towards animal ethics and protection. The second features five sections addressing the following topics: Human Interaction with Animals Killing and Exploitation Religious and Secular Law Evil and Theodicy Souls and Afterlife This handbook demonstrates that religious traditions, despite often being anthropocentric, do have much to offer to those seeking a framework for a more enlightened relationship between humans and non-human animals. As such, The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Animal Ethics is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies, theology, and animal ethics as well as those studying the philosophy of religion and ethics more generally.

Download or read book Nineteenth Century Science Fiction written by David Seed and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a selection from the American and British fiction of the nineteenth century which was evolving into what we now know as science fiction. Taking Frankenstein as its formative work, it assembles stories and excerpts from narratives exploring the complex impact of new technologies like the telegraph and later the cinema, or new scientific practices like mesmerism (hypnotism) and microscopy. The selected authors range from those famous within the realist tradition like George Eliot and Mark Twain to scientists like the physician Silas Weir Mitchell and the inventor Thomas Edison. They repeatedly destabilize their narratives so that some come to resemble scientific records and frequently leave their endings unresolved, encouraging the reader to speculate about their subjects, which include extensions to the senses, new inventions, and challenges to individual autonomy. Many focus on experiments but might combine scientific enquiry with the supernatural, producing hybrid narratives as a result which are difficult to classify.
