Epicurus and the Singularity of Death Defending Radical Epicureanism【電子書籍】[ Prof David B. Suits ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In his <em>Letter to Menoeceus</em>, the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus states that 'death is nothing to us'. Few philosophers then or since have agreed with his controversial argument, upholding instead that death constitutes a deprivation and is therefore to be feared. Diverging from the current trend and sparking fresh debate, this book provides an imaginative defense of the Epicurean view of death.</p> <p>Drawing on Epicurus's <em>Principal Doctrines</em>, Lucretius's <em>De Rerum Natura</em> and Philodemus's <em>De Morte,</em> David Suits argues that the usual concepts of harm, loss and suffering no longer apply in death, thus showing how the deprivation view is flawed. He also applies Epicurean reasoning to key issues in applied ethics in order to dispute the claim that there can be a right to life, to defend egoistic friendship, and to consider how Epicureanism might handle wills and life insurance.</p> <p>By championing the Epicurean perspective, this book makes a valuable contribution to the contemporary philosophical debate about death.</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。 5,349円

The Kill Chain Defending America in the Future of High-Tech Warfare【電子書籍】[ Christian Brose ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>From a former senior advisor to Senator John McCain comes an urgent wake-up call about how new technologies are threatening America's military might.</strong></p> <p>For generations of Americans, our country has been the world's dominant military power. How the US military fights, and the systems and weapons that it fights with, have been uncontested. That old reality, however, is rapidly deteriorating. America's traditional sources of power are eroding amid the emergence of new technologies and the growing military threat posed by rivals such as China. America is at grave risk of losing a future war.</p> <p>As Christian Brose reveals in this urgent wake-up call, the future will be defined by artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and other emerging technologies that are revolutionizing global industries and are now poised to overturn the model of American defense. This fascinating, if disturbing, book confronts the existential risks on the horizon, charting a way for America's military to adapt and succeed with new thinking as well as new technology. America must build a battle network of systems that enables people to rapidly understand threats, make decisions, and take military actions, the process known as "the kill chain." Examining threats from China, Russia, and elsewhere, <em>The Kill Chain</em> offers hope and, ultimately, insights on how America can apply advanced technologies to prevent war, deter aggression, and maintain peace.</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。 1,563円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A new dawn of brain tracking and hacking is coming. Will you be prepared for what comes next?</strong></p> <p>Imagine a world where your brain can be interrogated to learn your political beliefs, your thoughts can be used as evidence of a crime, and your own feelings can be held against you. A world where people who suffer from epilepsy receive alerts moments before a seizure, and the average person can peer into their own mind to eliminate painful memories or cure addictions.</p> <p>Neuroscience has already made all of this possible today, and neurotechnology will soon become the “universal controller” for all of our interactions with technology. This can benefit humanity immensely, but without safeguards, it can seriously threaten our fundamental human rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination.</p> <p>From one of the world’s foremost experts on the ethics of neuroscience, <em>The Battle for Your Brain</em> offers a path forward to navigate the complex legal and ethical dilemmas that will fundamentally impact our freedom to understand, shape, and define ourselves.</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。 1,824円

The Politics of Voter Suppression Defending and Expanding Americans' Right to Vote【電子書籍】[ Tova Wang ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The Politics of Voter Suppression arrives in time to assess actual practices at the polls this fall and to reengage with debates about voter suppression tactics such as requiring specific forms of identification.</strong> Tova Andrea Wang examines the history of how U.S. election reforms have been manipulated for partisan advantage and establishes a new framework for analyzing current laws and policies. The tactics that have been employed to suppress voting in recent elections are not novel, she finds, but rather build upon the strategies used by a variety of actors going back nearly a century and a half. This continuity, along with the shift to a Republican domination of voter suppression efforts for the past fifty years, should inform what we think about reform policy today.</p> <p>Wang argues that activities that suppress voting are almost always illegitimate, while reforms that increase participation are nearly always legitimate. In short, use and abuse of election laws and policies to suppress votes has obvious detrimental impacts on democracy itself. Such activities are also harmful because of their direct impacts on actual election outcomes. Wang regards as beneficial any legal effort to increase the number of Americans involved in the electoral system. This includes efforts that are focused on improving voter turnout among certain populations typically regarded as supporting one party, as long as the methods and means for boosting participation are open to all. Wang identifies and describes a number of specific legitimate and positive reforms that will increase voter turnout.</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。 1,660円

Gospel Witness Defending & Extending the Kingdom of God【電子書籍】[ Joseph Boot ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>How should we think about Christian apologetics in a society where people are encouraged to discover, determine and live their own truth?</p> <p>In this short book, Joe Boot explains that Christ-centred gospel witness is about getting to the heart of a person, for the root of unbelief is a heart condition, not a lack of evidence or convincing arguments. Dr. Boot considers some of the prevailing worldviews in the West today, demonstrating that their foundational problem is a refusal to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King. As we engage in witnessing to the gospel of the Kingdom, the heart and its attachment to cherished lies must be taken into account.</p> <p><em>Gospel Witness</em> is part of the Cornerstones series of short books for Christians wishing to strengthen their understanding of the scope and implications of the gospel 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。 552円

Defending God's Gift of Freedom【電子書籍】[ Michael Morra Ph.D. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Since the 18th Century, 1000's of scholarly books have been written about America's wars. Some of their manuscripts featured economic dynamics, others military tactics or long-term strategies, still others accredited victory to the brilliance and character of generalship, or to the individual heroics in the heat of combat. Or, to a particular battle unexpectedly won. Many of these victories must be attributed to the wisdom of the socio/politics of freely elected leaders. Most all of these writings alluded to the human cravings for freedom. Other than conventional history, this one of its kind book, Defending God's Gift of Freedom, will bring to light the religious/spiritual determination of free people who have been energized to fight America's crusades in defense of God's gift of liberty. Especially, this book is about one of the paramount attributes of God, freedom. Failing to fully understand the spiritual/theological implications of Liberty surely will detract from one's knowledge of God. As we know it today, the character and personality of Deity include Divine freedom that joins justice, love, truth, and righteousness.</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。 552円

The Battle of the Virtues and Vices Defending the Interior Castle of the Soul【電子書籍】[ Pope Saint Leo IX ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What is the greatest spiritual battle?</p> <p>The greatest battles do not occur in a distant land or even in past times but in the depths of the human soul. It is the battle between virtue and vice, the conflict between aspiring to be a saint or living a mediocre life. The conflict between reaching heaven or forfeiting it.</p> <p>In this spiritual masterpiece, Pope Saint Leo IX, identifies our foes: “The enemies in this battleーthe vices and temptations which infect our fallen natureーare invisible and internal.”</p> <p>These invisible and internal vices have dragged many souls to hell, and they will not stop until every person has surrendered to their pernicious and vile attacks. Are you saddened and discouraged by such daily assaults? There is hope. In these pages, you will find over twenty-five virtues to help you win the spiritual victory against sin. With God's grace and virtues like humility, detachment, prudent restraint, firm stability, and others, the battle can be won.</p> <p>But keep in mind that spiritual victory does not happen overnight. The battle wages on until your final breath. The question remains: Are you willing to fight?</p> <p>Just as this book is a dialogue between the virtues and vices, so too must we learn to listen to the voice of truth and not the voice of lies. The Lord, the General of our souls, whispers words of encouragement and peace while the devil, the captain of vice and enemy of our souls, tempts us to sin and then accuses us.</p> <p>On our earthly pilgrimage fraught with suffering, sorrow, and trials, let us keep our eyes fixed on our celestial homeland, the eternal city, where there will be perpetual peace. In heaven, Our Lord will welcome His glorious martyrs and courageous soldiers, those who have kept the faith and fought victoriously.</p> <p>There is nothing more important in this life than fortifying the interior castle of the soul with virtue.</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。 1,296円

BIBLE DIFFICULTIES Defending the Mosaic Authorship of the Pentateuch【電子書籍】[ Edward D. Andrews ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Tracing the origin of the Documentary Hypothesis through the centuries, Edward Andrews investigates the assumptions and presuppositions underlying the theory, critically analyzing the original Bible text and addressing popular issues and authorial concerns. By comparing the textual evidence and the commentaries of scholars from the past four centuries, Andrews effectively debunks the Documentary Hypothesis, providing a conservative approach that lifts up the first five books of the Bible as being authored by Moses in addition to demonstrating that they are reliable and factual information, as well as consistent truth. In this publication Andrews has offered current thought on the matter, as well as, taken some of the best apologetic authors over the past century and has updated their material, to offer an understanding of how higher criticism has infested our secular universities, as well as most of our seminaries. The reader will have the tools to defend Mosaic authorship against the critics, and help those who may have begun to doubt.</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。 954円

Defending the Defender Challenging Antisemitism in the Wake of October 7th's Massacres on Israeli Soil【電子書籍】[ Melody Grandy-Wolfe ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>On October 7, 2023, the world witnessed the single deadliest assault on the Jewish people since the Holocaustーa day of systematic mass murder, torture, and sexual violence committed on Israeli soil.</strong></p> <p><strong>In the terrifying aftermath of the massacres, a dangerous inversion took hold: the defender was placed on trial.</strong></p> <p><strong>In this urgent and necessary installment of <em>Defending the Defender</em>, author Melody Grandy-Wolfe confronts the global narrative head-on. She first provides an unflinching, documented look at the horrific atrocities, establishing the moral imperative for action. She then rigorously defends Israel's response, proving through the United Nations Charter and International Law that the military campaign is a legal and necessary act of self-defense against a genocidal enemy that employs the war crime of human shielding.</strong></p> <p><strong>Most critically, the book exposes how a profoundly slanted Western media coverageーthrough selective context and linguistic biasーinverted the victim/offender paradigm, fueling an immediate and dangerous global surge of antisemitism. This is not merely a legal or political battle; it is a spiritual confrontation against the modern Blood Libel.</strong></p> <p><strong>Arm yourself with the facts.

Shadows of Tyranny Defending Democracy in an Age of Dictatorship【電子書籍】[ Ken McGoogan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In response to right-wing extremism in the United States and around the world, Ken McGoogan offers lessons from history by looking back at the rise of authoritarianism and the collapse of European democracies in the lead-up to World War II.</strong></p> <p><strong>*INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist</strong></p> <p>In <em>Shadows of Tyranny</em>, historian Ken McGoogan warns against the future by drawing on the past, setting the emergence of alt-right fascism in the US against what happened last century in Europe. Incorporating conventional history, political analysis, biographical sketches and literary criticismーreferencing visionary works by Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, H.G. Wells, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Jack London, Sinclair Lewis and Philip Rothー<em>Shadows of Tyranny</em> honors those who defied dictatorship and exposed totalitarianism in all its guises.</p> <p>McGoogan traces the ways democracy succumbed to paranoia, polarization, scapegoating and demagoguery less than a hundred years ago in the days of Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini. Taking a biographical approach to history, he highlights the personal stories of those individuals who fought their way through the Great Depression, the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. He looks at what the authors, journalists and poets of the day were writing, who was listening, and who wasn’t.</p> <p>The book tracks George Orwell, of course, but also journalists like Matthew Halton, Dorothy Thompson and Martha Gellhorn, philosophers like Walter Benjamin and Hannah Arendt, and such multi-faceted figures as Winston Churchill, Andre Malraux, Norman Bethune and William Stephenson. It follows them from the obliviousness of the 1920s through the stunned awakening of the 1930s, and on into the nightmare horror of the 1940s. McGoogan spotlights heroes of the French Resistance, such as Josephine Baker and Marie Madeleine Fourcade, before shifting the focus to reveal startling similarities between those events of the past and the trajectory of American politics under leaders like McCarthy and Trump.</p> <p><em>Shadows of Tyranny</em> aims to revive the words of Winston Churchill when he said, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Twentieth-century novels such as George Orwell’s <em>1984</em> and Margaret Atwood’s <em>The Handmaid’s Tale</em> produced visions of future dystopia that rang with echoes of past tyrannies. Always implied was a warning that history’s worst chapters are never truly closed, and that we must not failーas many of our forebears didーto recognize that the threat of totalitarianism cannot simply be wished away.</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。 1,840円

Defending the Holy Land A Critical Analysis of Israel's Security and Foreign Policy【電子書籍】[ Zeev Maoz ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Defending the Holy Land</em> is the most comprehensive analysis to date of Israel's national security and foreign policy, from the inception of the State of Israel to the present. Author Zeev Maoz's unique double perspective, as both an expert on the Israeli security establishment and esteemed scholar of Mideast politics, enables him to describe in harrowing detail the tragic recklessness and self-made traps that pervade the history of Israeli security operations and foreign policy.</p> <p>Most of the wars in which Israel was involved, Maoz shows, were entirely avoidable, the result of deliberate Israeli aggression, flawed decision-making, and misguided conflict management strategies. None, with the possible exception of the 1948 War of Independence, were what Israelis call "wars of necessity." They were all wars of choice-or, worse, folly.</p> <p>Demonstrating that Israel's national security policy rested on the shaky pairing of a trigger-happy approach to the use of force with a hesitant and reactive peace diplomacy, <em>Defending the Holy Land</em> recounts in minute-by-minute detail how the ascendancy of Israel's security establishment over its foreign policy apparatus led to unnecessary wars and missed opportunites for peace.</p> <p>A scathing and brilliant revisionist history, <em>Defending the Holy Land</em> calls for sweeping reform of Israel's foreign policy and national security establishments. This book will fundamentally transform the way readers think about Israel's troubled history.</p> <p>Zeev Maoz is Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Davis. He is the former head of the Graduate School of Government and Policy and of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University, as well as the former academic director of the M.A. Program at the Israeli Defense Forces' National Defense College.</p> <p>Cover photograph: Israel, Jerusalem, Western Wall and The Dome of The Rock.

Contending for our all Defending Truth And Treasuring Christ In The Lives Of Athanasius, John Owen And J. Gresham Machen【電子書籍】[ JOHN PIPER ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Every Christian needs dependable role models to whom one can look for teaching and example. Many of the greatest role models have departed from this life, but their legacy lives on. Believers of this day and age can learn much about a godly life from saints of the past.<br /> Athanasius, John Owen, and J. Gresham Machen are three such saints. Each stood for the truth of God's Word in the face of opposition-all out of a deep love for Christ and a desire for people to know God as he truly is. Popularity was not a concern, and they took no joy in controversy for argument's sake. However, these men were willing to suffer for the sake of guarding the sanctity of the gospel. Many threats, years of exile, deaths of loved ones, opposition from friends and authorities, sickness and pain-none of these setbacks could keep these three from maintaining their efforts for the furthering of Christ's Kingdom or quench their zeal for Christ himself.<br /> John Piper's Contending for Our All gives us biographies of Athanasius, John Owen, and J. Gresham Machen-bishop, pastor, and seminary founder. In the life of each one, personal holiness was emphasized publicly and privately despite suffering. They were true soldiers for the sake of the cross, and each man offers life lessons for Christians 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。 1,301円

<p>In 1942 at the centre point of World War II an extraordinary event took place not on the battlefield but in a municipal stadium in Kiev. This is the true story of courage, team loyalty and fortitude in the face of the most brutal oppression the world had ever seen.</p> <p>When Hitler initiated Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, he caught the Soviet Union completely by surprise. At breathtaking speed his armies swept east, slaughtering the ill-prepared Soviet forces. His greatest military gains of the entire war were made in a few short months, and the largest single country that he conquered was the Ukraine, roughly the size of France. Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, was circled, assaulted and overrun, and among the city’s defenders who were captured and incarcerated were many of the members of the sparkling 1939 Dynamo Kiev football team, argaubly the best in Europe before the war. Captured Kiev was a starving city whose population were deported in vast numbers as slave labour.</p> <p>However one man determined to save not just the surviving players from the Dynamo side but other athletes. He offered them work, shelter and, most valuable, bread, as workers in his bakery. Inspired by the charismatic goalkeeper Trusevich, the Dynamo side was re-formed as Start FC and a series of fixtures was arranged, all of which the team win handsomely, to such an extent that they inspired Kievan spirits. The final fixture against the Luftwaffe was agreed by the German authorities: a well-fed team from the Fatherland would vanquish the upstart Ukrainians, especially if the game was refereed by an SS officer. The match is an allegory of resistance; its consequences are brutal. Andy Dougan has discovered the truth behind a legendary encounter, sorting fact from fiction and restoring to the centre of World War II a moment of extraordinary poignancy and complex bravery, of which the clich? is demonstrably true: football is not a matter of life or death; it’s much more important than that.</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。 1,429円

Defending Catholicism A Concise Defense of Catholicism from the Bible against Classic Protestant Objections【電子書籍】[ James S. Anderson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Hosts of helpful Catholic apologetic books currently exist; however, a concise treatment that specifically targets all the major Protestant objections in an easily accessible manner is hard to find. Anderson's fourth volume offers such. It provides readers with salient counterpoints for each objection, and most often from the very source Protestants use to deny important aspects of the faith: the Bible. Thus, without even realizing it, Protestants implicitly accept the Catholic faith as they accept the very texts the faith provided them. Important issues such as these are pointed out throughout the book. It is a must-read for Catholics seeking to address Protestant questions, and for Protestants desiring to understand why Catholicism claims to be biblical through and through. This work cogently articulates how Catholicism is biblical, and just how often Protestant positions are untenable.</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。 1,954円

Defending God Biblical Responses to the Problem of Evil【電子書籍】[ James L. Crenshaw ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the ancient Near East, when the gods detected gross impropriety in their ranks, they subjected their own to trial. When mortals suspect their gods of wrongdoing, do they have the right to put them on trial? What lies behind the human endeavor to impose moral standards of behavior on the gods? Is this effort an act of arrogance, as Kant suggested, or a means of keeping theological discourse honest? It is this question James Crenshaw seeks to address in this wide-ranging study of ancient theodicies. Crenshaw has been writing about and pondering the issue of theodicy - the human effort to justify the ways of the gods or God - for many years. In this volume he presents a synthesis of his ideas on this perennially thorny issue. The result sheds new light on the history of the human struggle with this intractable problem.</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。 11,624円
