Absurdities of Immaterialism Enriched edition. Or, A Reply to T. W. P. Taylder's Pamphlet, Entitled, "The Materialism of the Mormons or Latter-Day Saints, Examined and Exposed."【電子書籍】[ Orson Pratt ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Absurdities of Immaterialism," Orson Pratt presents a critical examination of immaterialist philosophy, challenging core tenets that reject the existence of matter and the physical world. Through a rigorous dialectical approach and a blend of logical reasoning and theological insights, Pratt confronts the implications of immaterialism on knowledge, existence, and the human experience. The book's literary style is characterized by its clear argumentation and illustrative examples that reveal the inherent contradictions in immaterialist thought, placing it within the broader context of 19th-century philosophical discourse, where such discussions were pivotal in shaping modern atheism and theism debates. Orson Pratt, a prominent figure in the early Latter-day Saint movement and a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, draws on his deep theological convictions and commitment to empirical truth. His odyssey from a traditional view of materiality to advocating for a robust understanding of the physical universe is particularly evident in this work. Pratt's experiences in the rapidly evolving intellectual landscape of his time, filled with scientific advancements and evolving spiritual perspectives, compelled him to articulate a defense of materialism grounded in reason and faith. This book is highly recommended for philosophy enthusiasts, theologians, and those curious about the intersection of faith and reason. It offers profound insights into the nature of existence and the philosophical debates surrounding materialism and immaterialism, making it an essential read for anyone seeking a solid intellectual foundation in these timeless inquiries. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Press Cuttings," Bernard Shaw employs his signature wit and incisive critique to explore the intricate relationship between journalism and public opinion in early 20th-century England. This play utilizes a satirical format, characterized by sharp dialogue and a clever interplay of characters, to dissect the machinations of media and its impact on social and political discourse. Set against the backdrop of contemporary issues, Shaw refrains from merely presenting a narrative; instead, he engages with critical themes of censorship, public manipulation, and the power dynamics inherent in communication, making this work a significant reflection of its time. Bernard Shaw, an eminent playwright and critic, was influenced by his experiences in both the arts and the brewing tensions of his era. Deriving insights from his involvement in socialist movements and a keen interest in media ethics, Shaw crafted "Press Cuttings" as an expos√? of the journalistic landscape. His scholarly background and commitment to social reform underscore the motivations behind this play, revealing a deep-seated frustration with the shortcomings of the press and its role in shaping public perception. I highly recommend "Press Cuttings" to readers interested in the intersection of media, politics, and society. Shaw's compelling narrative not only entertains but also provokes critical thought about the responsibility of the press, making it a timeless examination of journalism's ethical implications that resonates even today.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Reckoning A Definitive History of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Absurdities【電子書籍】[ Thomas Beckett Kane ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>When a respiratory virus with a 0.2% fatality rate brought the world's most powerful democracy to its knees, something had gone terribly wrong. In "The Reckoning," historian Thomas Beckett Kane delivers a withering analysis of how the COVID-19 pandemic became not a public health crisis, but a catastrophic failure of leadership, science, and reason.</p> <p>Kane argues that the real virus wasn't SARS-CoV-2ーit was the authoritarian impulse that seized control of American society. From the funding of dangerous gain-of-function research that created the virus, to devastating lockdowns that destroyed millions of lives and livelihoods, to a complicit media that amplified fear over facts, this book exposes how a "pandemic of experts" inflicted more damage than the disease itself.</p> <p>Drawing on extensive research and historical precedent, Kane reveals how the same officials who funded the virus's creation became the architects of America's response, how basic constitutional rights evaporated overnight, and why the summer of 2020's riots were the inevitable result of lockdown-induced social collapse. Most importantly, he reveals the crisis representing a turning point in American democracyーone that threatens the very foundations of individual liberty.</p> <p>Bold, uncompromising, and meticulously documented, "The Reckoning" is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how fear conquered freedom, and what it means for America's future. This is the definitive account of our modern madnessーand a warning for generations to come.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

This background likely inspired him to pen "Trips to the Moon," fueling his penchant for irony and satire while employing mythological tropes in an insightful manner. I highly recommend "Trips to the Moon" to readers who appreciate a vibrant blend of humor and philosophical inquiry.

<p>In "The Sot-weed Factor: or, A Voyage to Maryland. A Satyr," Ebenezer Cooke offers a rich and satirical exploration of 17th-century colonial life in Maryland through the lens of a hapless, yet humorous protagonist. Cooke's verse reflects the poetic traditions of Restoration England, interweaving sharp satire and vivid depictions of the landscape and local customs. His use of the mock-epic style not only entertains but also critiques the excesses and follies of colonial desire and ambition, resonating with contemporary sentiments regarding colonialism and identity. Ebenezer Cooke, an Englishman who emigrated to the American colonies, vividly embodies the duality of the colonial experience'ーboth as a hopeful settler and a critical observer. His background and personal experiences as a surveyor in the New World intertwine, allowing him to portray the often ridiculous aspirations of colonists, driven by dreams of wealth and opportunity. Cooke's keen observation skills and personal rapport with the colonial environment inform the rich humor and societal critique present in his work.

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Bureaucracy," Honor√? de Balzac presents a keen examination of the intricate workings of the administrative state, drawing readers into the labyrinth of political and social machinery that defines 19th-century France. With his characteristic realism and acute attention to detail, Balzac explores the often tedious yet critical role of bureaucracy in shaping individual destinies. The text serves as both a satire and a serious critique of the bureaucratic system, reflecting the author'??s mastery of character development and narrative complexity, while offering a prescient commentary on the pervasive influence of bureaucratic institutions in society. Honor√? de Balzac, a leading figure in the literary movement of realism, immersed himself in the socio-political landscape of his time, which undoubtedly influenced his depictions of power and governance.

Balzac'??s experiences as a struggling writer and his observations of the political upheavals of the era inform his incisive critique of administrative life.

Absurdities of the Gods of the New Morality Virtue on the Verge【電子書籍】[ Stephen F. Baca ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Absurdities of the Gods of the New Morality<br /> By: Stephen F. Baca</p> <p>The art on the front cover represents the twelve supreme Greek deities; displayed from left to right they are Demeter, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, Hera, Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and Dionysius. This book strikes a parallel between the character and behavior of these supreme mythical gods and that of today’s elite nihilists. Just like the current gods of the new morality, the Greek gods were not noble; they were absurd, decadent, and powerful.</p> <p>Absurdities of the Gods of the New Morality is unique in that it identifies, specifically, those who were primarily responsible for the declension of virtue in our society. It is a complete, comprehensive, and exhaustive exposure of the negative enculturation of America by elitist Boomer activists.</p> <p>There was a decline of morality and virtue in our country, precipitated by Boomer activists starting in the 1960s, when Boomers first started reaching age 18 and went off to college, where they were proselytized by socialistic professors. Sound ethics, morality, and virtue are essential elements of any orderly society, and we are headed in the wrong direction. The solution is a return to virtue and decency.</p> <p>About the Author</p> <p>Stephen F. Baca’s background is in business management. He was a marketing executive for a large national corporation for many years. Capitalizing on an opportunity, he resigned from his corporate position and became a successful entrepreneur with his own privately held logistics company in California and later in Arizona. He has broad business education and experience, which allowed him to succeed in his various corporate and entrepreneurial endeavors. His keen interest in history drove him to investigate and research chaotic events and circumstances plaguing our country, and the deleterious impact this iconoclastic behavior was having on our moral ethos. He became an ardent student of the generation that underlies the topic of this book. It soon became clear to him that the chaos and vitriolic activism advocating for a retreat from traditional moral values was being promulgated by a certain small segment of the Boomer generation, which he has denominated “the gods of the new morality.”</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
