The Consolations of Philosophy【電子書籍】[ Alain De Botton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>From the author of <strong>How Proust Can Change Your Life</strong>, a delightful, truly consoling work that proves that philosophy can be a supreme source of help for our most painful everyday problems.</p> <p>Perhaps only Alain de Botton could uncover practical wisdom in the writings of some of the greatest thinkers of all time. But uncover he does, and the result is an unexpected book of both solace and humor. Dividing his work into six sections -- each highlighting a different psychic ailment and the appropriate philosopher -- de Botton offers consolation for unpopularity from Socrates, for not having enough money from Epicurus, for frustration from Seneca, for inadequacy from Montaigne, and for a broken heart from Schopenhauer (the darkest of thinkers and yet, paradoxically, the most cheering). Consolation for envy -- and, of course, the final word on consolation -- comes from Nietzsche: "Not everything which makes us feel better is good for us."</p> <p>This wonderfully engaging book will, however, make us feel better in a good way, with equal measures of wit and wisdom.</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。 2,036円

The Elegies of Tibullus Being the Consolations of a Roman Lover Done in English Verse【電子書籍】[ Tibullus ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Elegies of Tibullus presents a collection of poignant and intimate poems that delve into the themes of love, nature, and the complexities of personal emotion. Composed in the late Roman Republic, Tibullus's work is characterized by its exquisite lyrical quality, showcasing a refinement in poetic style that blends elegiac meter with vivid imagery and sensuous language. His exploration of romantic relationships, particularly his affection for the fictionalized figure of Delia, encapsulates the interplay between vulnerability and desire, resonating with the broader context of Augustan literature that often grappled with love's transience and the personal amidst the political upheaval. Tibullus, a contemporary of the likes of Ovid and Propertius, emerged from a well-educated background, suggesting that his access to both literary influences and socio-political dynamics significantly shaped his poetic voice. His elegies often reflect personal experiences of loss, longing, and the tranquil joys found within pastoral settings, indicating a profound appreciation for both love and nature as central to the human experience. The poet'??s own life, marked by political turbulence and personal heartbreak, likely informed the depth of emotion found within his verses. Recommended for readers with an affinity for classical poetry and those interested in the intricacies of human emotion, The Elegies of Tibullus offers a timeless exploration of love and loss. This collection invites readers to immerse themselves in the delicate nuances of expression and helps them appreciate the enduring legacy of Roman poetic tradition.</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。 150円

This memoir is bursting with anecdotes from behind the scenes, and offers insight into the ways in which New Zealand has used its ' insignificance' on the world stage to achieve results which outweigh its size and importance.</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。 1,444円

Consolations From A Stoic【電子書籍】[ Seneca ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em><span>“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.”</span></em></p> <p>Seneca composed the <em><strong>Consolations</strong></em> while in exile on Corsica during 40-44 AD and used each opportunity to show off in writing his trendy Stoic ideas about life and the universe. His three letters of condolences <em><strong>De Consolatione ad Marciam, De Consolatione ad Polybium </strong></em>and<em><strong> De Consolatione ad Helviam</strong></em> caused a sensation in Rome when they were circulated and before long the disgraced aristocrat was recalled from banishment and given the plum appointment of tutor to the young future emperor Nero.</p> <p>In each work Seneca employs many of the rhetorical devices common to the consolatio tradition while incorporating his unique philosophy. His seemingly positive outlook on his own exile follows the Stoic principle that one should not be upset by uncontrollable events. This quote from <em><strong>De Consolatione ad Helviam</strong></em>, shows Seneca’s presentation of his life as tolerable, and even spiritually enjoyable:</p> <p><em>I am joyous and cheerful, as if under the best of circumstances. And indeed, now they are the best, since my spirit, devoid of all other preoccupations, has room for its own activities, and either delights in easier studies or rises up eager for the truth, to the consideration of its own nature as well as that of the universe…</em></p> <p><em><strong>De Consolatione ad Polybium</strong></em> is the definitive representation of the part of Seneca’s life he spent in exile. He reaches out to Polybius, the Emperor’s secretary, to console him on the death of his brother. The essay focuses on the inescapable reality of death.  There are more philosophical abstractions concerning Stoic precepts of life and death in <em><strong>De Consolatione ad Marciam</strong></em>. Marcia actively mourned the death of her son Metilius for over three years. Seneca attempts to convince her that that the fate of her son, while tragic, should not have been a surprise. She knew many other mothers who had lost their sons; why should she expect her own son to survive her? The acknowledgement, even expectation, of the worst of all possible outcomes is a tenet of Seneca's Stoic philosophy. While Seneca sympathized with Marcia, he reminded her that "we are born into a world of things which are all destined to die," and that if she could accept that no one is guaranteed a just life (that is, one in which sons always outlive their mothers), she could finally end her mourning and live the rest of her life in peace.</p> <p>Like <em><strong>Letters From A Stoic (Epistulae Moralis Ad Lucilium)</strong></em>, the <em><strong>Consolations</strong></em> are personal addresses but read more like essays than intimate letters.  Both works are essential reading for students of Seneca and Stoicism in general.</p> <p>*Includes image gallery and biographical essay ‘Seneca The Stoic.’</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。 663円

Blasted with Antiquity Old Age and the Consolations of Literature【電子書籍】[ David Ellis ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Given the increasing number of old people, the proliferation of books about old age is hardly surprising. Most of these come from cultural historians or social scientists and, when those with a literary background have tackled the subject, they have largely done so through what are known as period studies. In Blasted with Antiquity, David Ellis provides an alternative. Skipping nimbly from Cicero to Shakespeare, and from Wordsworth to Dickens and beyond, he discusses various aspects of old age with the help of writers across European history who have usually been regarded as worth listening to. Eschewing extended literary analyses, Ellis addresses retirement, physical decay, sex in old age, the importance of family, legacy, wills and nostalgia, as well of course as dying itself. While remaining alert to current trends, his approach is consciously that of the old way of teaching English rather than the new. Whether 'blasted with antiquity' like Falstaff in Henry IV Part Two, or with the 'shining morning face' of an unwilling student, his accessible and witty style will appeal to young and old alike.</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。 3,576円

A Short History of Truth Consolations for a Post-Truth World【電子書籍】[ Julian Baggini ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>How did we find ourselves in a "post-truth" world of "alternative facts"? And can we get out of it? <em>A Short History of Truth</em> sets out to answer these questions by looking at the complex history of truth and falsehood. It identifies ten types of supposed truth and explains how easily each can become the midwife of falsehood. There is no species of truth that we can rely on unquestioningly, but that does not mean the truth can never be established. Attaining truth is an achievement we need to work for, and each chapter will end up with a truth we can have some confidence in.</p> <p>This history builds into a comprehensive and clear explanation of why truth is now so disputed by exploring 10 kinds of truth:</p> <ol> <li>Eternal truths.</li> <li>Authoritative truths.</li> <li>Esoteric truths.</li> <li>Reasoned truths.</li> <li>Evidence-based truths.</li> <li>Creative truths.</li> <li>Relative truths.</li> <li>Powerful truths</li> <li>Moral truths.</li> <li>Holistic truths.</li> </ol> <p>Baggini provides us with all we need to restore faith in the value and possibility of truth as a social enterprise. Truth-seekers need to be sceptical not cynical, autonomous not atomistic, provisional not dogmatic, open not empty, demanding not unreasonable.</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。 1,805円

Consolations from a Stoic【電子書籍】[ Seneca ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Consolations from a Stoic</strong><br /> The art of consoling the afflicted has a long history. Texts by stoics, peripatetics, epicurists and platonics have become a fundamental reference in the practice of the medicine of the soul. Today such a procedure would be called psychotherapy or psychological counseling and would be practiced by psychologists. At that time, the use of written text in the form of dialogue was called consolation and was intended to teach the rational overcoming of the passions and the pains of the soul. <strong>Seneca</strong>, without the least doubt, was the most fertile Latin writer of Consolations, if we consider not only the texts known under that name, but also the various treatises of high consolation, such as <em>On the shortness of life</em>, <em>Of Peace of Mind</em> and some of the <em>Letters addressed to Lucilius</em>. However, there are three genuine Consolations, that is, those that most respond to the demands of the Consolatory tradition: <strong>To Marcia</strong>, <strong>To Helvia</strong> and <strong>To Polybius</strong>.<br /> This book contains the three letters of consolation so named by Seneca and also three of the letters written to Lucilius whose theme is related:</p> <p>? <strong>Of Consolation, to Marcia</strong>: the first letter of consolation written by Seneca in the year 40, being the oldest known work of the philosopher. It is hard to imagine a more humane approach to grief;<br /> ? <strong>Of Consolation, To Helvia</strong>: Seneca had been condemned to exile by Emperor Claudius. From exile he wrote a letter of comfort to his mother;<br /> ? <strong>Of Consolation to Polybius</strong>: The work is addressed to the private secretary of Emperor Claudius, to console him on the death of his brother.<br /> ? <strong>Letter 63:</strong> On Grief for Lost Friends;<br /> ? <strong>Letter 93</strong>: On the Quality, as Contrasted with the Length, of Life;<br /> ? <strong>Letter 107</strong>: On Obedience to the Universal Will.</p> <p><strong>Consolations from a Stoic</strong> constructs a cohesive piece of consolation using stoic philosophy and its worldview to help the grieving to consider other aspects of loss and also to acknowledge the inevitability of death. This is a fundamental reading <strong>for those who mourn or wish to help those who suffer</strong> from the loss of loved ones.</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。 232円

The Consolations of Humor and Other Folklore Essays【電子書籍】[ Elliott Oring ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>The Consolations of Humor and Other Folklore Essays</em> unfolds as a series of questions, commentaries, and criticisms of the analysis, interpretation, and explanation of folklore. Can we confidently regard jokes as the catharsis of sexual and aggressive impulses? What is the basis for characterizing a joke as Jewish or Scottish or Japanese? What do we really know about “dirty jokes”? How is a text or behavior constructed so that it is perceived as humorous? Can we get a computer to reliably recognize jokes? What is the relevance of memetics and a Darwinian paradigm to understanding folklore change over time? Can we identify laws operating in the realm of folklore? How can the marginalization, extinction, or continuity of traditions be explained? In the course of addressing these questions, Elliott Oring identifies some fundamental problems, brings new evidence and observations to the discussion, and proffers some original and startling insights.</p> <p>While recognizing the study of jokes and other forms of folklore as a humanistic endeavor, Oring believes in the relevance of a scientific perspective to the enterprise. He values clear definitions, tests of hypotheses and theories, empirical evidence, experiment, and the search for laws. Written in a sophisticated yet accessible style, <em>The Consolations of Humor and Other Folklore Essays</em> stimulates both scholars and students alike and contributes to the creation of a more robust folkloristics in the twenty-first century.</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。 3,347円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I once visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and while I was there, I found a painting that had been painted in Paris in the autumn of 1786 by the thirty-eight-year-old Jacques-Louis David. #2 The death of Socrates marked a defining moment in the history of philosophy. It was significant enough that it was painted by the French painter Charles-Alphonse Dufresnoy in 1650. #3 The postcard depicted the last edifying moments of a transcendent being. It contrasted sharply with my own behavior, which was to be liked rather than to speak the truth. I did not publicly doubt ideas to which the majority was committed. #4 The Greek philosopher Socrates was the first to question authority, and his life and death were an invitation to become wise through philosophy.</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。 500円

Human Lives in Rhyme Consolations in the Time of Covid A Collection of Poems【電子書籍】[ Mark E. Taylor ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When I look across the arc of my life, I love That the peaks they mean so much That the valleys came to define me That the stars will twinkle on when I am gone In a debut collection, Mark Taylor shares poems penned in his past with the hope of inspiring others to believe in a happier tomorrow. Taylor lyrically explores diverse themes that include family, love, and life itself taking the reader to a sandy beach where a photographer shouts commands to his sun-kissed subject, an alley where a few crouch for coins and others sell mags off tatty loins, a simple song that transports a man to happier times, a weeping willow tree that holds youthful memories, and a moment of surprise, love, warmth, and beauty when a mum and son become one. Human Lives in Rhyme is a volume of poetry that reflects on one man’s experiences and the world around him with the intent of providing hope to all that better days are ahead.</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。 547円

Consolations II The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words【電子書籍】[ David Whyte ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>David Whyte’s <em>Consolations</em> use everyday words to present us with a prism through which to better understand ourselves and the lives we walk through. At the request of readers globally, Whyte returns with fifty-two short, elegant meditations on a single word ranging from ‘Anxiety’ to ‘Body’, ‘Freedom’, ‘Shame’ and ‘Moon’. He embraces their nuances, amplitudes and depths, and, in doing so, confronts realities that many of us would spend a lifetime trying senselessly to avoid.</p> <p>In <em>Consolations II</em>, anxiety might be more mercifully understood as the preparation for being hurt, fixed beliefs are recognised as the very places where we do not wish to understand, guilt is a friend compassionately waiting for us to catch up and routine becomes a form of ritual and worship. Each piece in this life-affirming book is an invitation to slow down, shift our perspective and find comfort. In these pages, Whyte explores the full constellation of human experience.</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。 2,369円

Handbook of Consolations For the Fears and Trials That Oppress Us in the Struggle with Death【電子書籍】[ Johann Gerhard ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Johann Gerhard (1582-1637) was one of the leading dogmatic theologians of his time and was the authoritative voice of seventeenth-century Lutheran Orthodoxy. Yet, he also published numerous devotional works and meditations that were meant to be used in the daily lives of ordinary believers. The Handbook of Consolations sought to provide comfort and encouragement not only to those approaching death, but also to those who provided care for the sick and dying. Gerhard himself was no stranger to sickness and death, having lost his infant son and young wife, and faced numerous life-threatening illnesses throughout his life. In this pastoral work, which is the first complete English translation based on Gerhard's original Latin to be published since the seventeenth century, Gerhard brings together his extensive understanding of Scripture, theology, and church history in a practical and easy-to-understand manual that is as relevant and meaningful in the twenty-first century as it was in Gerhard's day.</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。 2,193円

Consolations of the Forest Alone in a Cabin in the Middle Taiga【電子書籍】[ Sylvain Tesson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In <em>Consolations of the Forest,</em> Sylvain Tesson explains how he found a radical solution to his need for freedom, one as ancient as the experiences of the hermits of old Russia: he decided to lock himself alone in a cabin in the middle taiga, on the shores of Baikal, for six months. From February to July 2010, he lived in silence, solitude, and cold. His cabin, built by Soviet geologists in the Brezhnev years, is a cube of logs three meters by three meters, heated by a cast iron skillet, six-day walk from the nearest village and hundreds of miles of track.</p> <p>To live isolated from the world while retaining one's sanity requires a routine, Tesson discovered. In the morning, he would read, write, smoke, or draw, and then devoted hours to cutting the wood, shoveling snow, and fishing. Emotionally, these months proved a challenge, and the loneliness was crippling. Tesson found in paper a valuable confidant, the notebook, a polite companion. Noting carefully, almost daily, his impressions of the silence, his struggles to survive in a hostile nature, his despair, his doubts, but also its moments of ecstasy, inner peace and harmony with nature, Sylvain Tesson shares with us an extraordinary experience.</p> <p>Writer, journalist and traveler, Sylvain Tesson was born in 1972. After a world tour by bicycle, he developed a passion for Central Asia, and has travelled tirelessly since 1997. He came to prominence in 2004 with a remarkable travelogue, <em>Axis of Wolf</em> (Robert Laffont). Editions Gallimard have already published his <em>A Life of a Mouthful</em> (2009) and, with Thomas Goisque and Bertrand de Miollis, <em>High Voltage</em> (2009). In 2009 he won the <em>Prix Goncourt</em> for <em>A Life of a</em> Mouthful, and in 2011 won the <em>Prix</em> <em>M?dicis</em> for non-fiction for <em>Consolations of the Forest: Alone in Siberia.</em></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。 1,558円

Consolations - Celles que l'on re?oit et celles que l'on donne【電子書籍】[ Christophe Andr? ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Celles que l'on re?oit et celles que l'on donne.<br /> Voil? six ans, je suis tomb? malade, gravement. Comme toutes les personnes menac?es par la mort, j'ai trouv? que la vie ?tait belle. Et j'ai d?couvert que j'avais un besoin immense de consolation. J'ai song? ? ceux de mes patients qui revenaient me voir, m?me quand je ne pouvais les gu?rir. Et j'ai compris que je leur apportais peut-?tre alors une douceur, une fraternit?, qui les aidait : une consolation. Bien plus qu'un r?confort passager, la consolation est un moyen de vivre avec les orages. Comme un fil rouge, elle court tout au long de notre vie et nous remet en lien avec le monde. "<br /> Peut-on apprendre la consolation ? Pourquoi est-ce parfois si difficile de l'accepter, si d?licat de la proposer ? Comment la nature, l'art, l'action nous consolent-ils ? Pourquoi les liens sont-ils de si puissants rem?des ? Christophe Andr? nous r?pond dans ce livre consolateur, le plus intime et le plus ?mouvant de tous ses ouvrages.</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。 1,100円

The Consolations of the Forest Alone in a Cabin on the Siberian Taiga【電子書籍】[ Sylvain Tesson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A journalist embarks on the adventure of a lifetimeーliving in a remote cabin in Siberiaーin this Thoreau-esque meditation on escaping the chaos of modern life and rediscovering the luxury of solitude.</strong></p> <p><strong>“…wry, exuberant, and a perfect balm for anyone who dreams of running away to the middle of nowhere.”<br /> <em>ーSan Francisco Chronicle</em></strong></p> <p>No stranger to inhospitable places, journalist Sylvain Tesson exiles himself to a wooden cabin on Siberia’s Lake Baikalーa full day’s hike from any “neighbor”ーwith his thoughts, his books, a couple of dogs, and many bottles of vodka for company. Writing from February to July, he shares his deep appreciation for the harsh but beautiful land, the resilient men and women who populate it, and the bizarre and tragic history that has given Siberia an almost mythological place in the imagination.</p> <p>Rich with observation, introspection, and the good humor necessary to laugh at his own folly, Tesson’s memoir is about the ultimate freedom of owning your own time. Only in the hands of a gifted storyteller can an experiment in isolation become an exceptional adventure accessible to all. By recording his impressions in the face of silence, his struggles in a hostile environment, his hopes, doubts, and moments of pure joy in communion with nature, Tesson makes a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary experience relatable. The awe and joy are contagious, and one comes away with the comforting knowledge that “as long as there is a cabin deep in the woods, nothing is completely lost.”</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。 3,219円

Embodying the Music and Death Nexus Consolations, Salvations and Transformations【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Embodied encounters with death affect humans deeply, with the power to crush, transform and strengthen individuals and relationships. Understanding that these encounters often have a musical accompaniment, this edited collection offers a range of critical, analytic, discursive and personal reflections on how music provides both a container and a medium for experiencing, processing and integrating embodied encounters with death.</p> <p>The collection showcases new and original interdisciplinary case studies written by authors from several different countries across Australia, France, The Netherlands, Poland and the UK. Taking an international, interdisciplinary and inclusive approach, this carefully curated collection elaborates embodied encounters with death through music across a variety of praxes and disciplines such as death & grief, queer studies, disability, philosophy, and more. Providing a mix of personal perspectives and insights on the impact of music and death alongside more conventional academic studies, the chapters reveal how music and human nature are intimately, and bodily, entwined.</p> <p>Framed by opening and closing chapters written by the team of three editors, this core text in the field provides a unique overview of the implications and ramifications of the embodiment of death through music and the musicalisation of death through the body, and signposts possibilities for further research.</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。 13,542円
