Download or read book Ethics written by René Descartes and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though Descartes never wrote a book specifically devoted to moral philosophy, his thought on ethical matters can be found throughout his correspondence and in parts of his work Passions of the Soul. In 1685, an anonymous editor in London gathered these writings in a textbook devoted to Descartes’s ethical thought. Roger Ariew has translated, from Descartes’s original French texts, those selections included in the 1685 volume, adding to those writings an Appendix of relevant materials, including Part III of the Discourse on Method on the provisional morals, a portion of the Preface to the French edition of the Principles of Philosophy on the “tree” of philosophy, and portions of additional letters that help to illuminate the background for the correspondence included in the 1685 volume. Ariew’s insightful Introduction explains the contexts in which Descartes addressed ethical questions, the reasoning behind his reluctance to write specifically about moral issues, and the significance of what this collection of writings reveals.

Download or read book La Paix Mondiale written by Salomon Alain Mpouma and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vous avez certainement mené une vie aventureuse qui reflète des intérêts culturels forts multiples et l'appréciation de la diversité. Votre histoire est surtout intéressante en raison de la façon dont vous concordez les observations des philosophes à votre expérience. Il est clair que vous croyez profondément dans l'importance de l'introspection comme une voie à une meilleure compréhension de soi et de la famille humaine dans son ensemble. Votre ton est humble et enrichissant. Gail Cato, Éditeur de BookSurge. L'auteur aligne son histoire personnelle avec les réflexions des autres pour la recherche du bonheur intérieur, y compris un bon nombre de penseurs tels que Woodsworth et Gandhi. Mpouma a assez à dire sur sa vie, qui a été de ne pas se sentir à l'aise nulle part. Les choses ont pris une grande tournure lorsqu'il avait deux ans et demi et son père, un candidat à un poste public au Cameroun, a été assassiné. Il grandit au milieu de cette tourmente familiale qui le mettait souvent dans des démêlés à la maison et à l'école. Il vécût de temps en temps entre les maisons de sa mère, ses frères et de son père adoptif, sans jamais se sentir intégré. Pendant ce temps, il a ressenti une connection avec son feu grand-père, connu sous le nom d'Oboss; celui qui fiche toujours tout en l'air. Mpouma a été conforté et inspiré par l'histoire de son grand-père, son franc-parler et son honnêteté dans les réunions de famille ou du village. Vers la fin de sa vingtaine, Mpouma gagna l'approbation de sa famille en se mariant et travaillant à la Banque. Mais son coeur n'était pas dans mariage, et après avoir obtenu le divorce, l'approbation évidemment disparue. Mpouma a rejoint la Soka Gakkai International (SGI), une organisation bouddhiste qui favorise la paix dans le monde entier par la réalisation de la paix intérieure.

Download or read book Papers Presented at the Fourteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies Held in Oxford 2003 written by Frances Margaret Young and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers presented at the Fourteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 2003 (see also Studia Patristica 39, 40, 41 and 42). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.
