Descartes' Bones A Skeletal History of the Conflict between Faith and Reason【電子書籍】[ Russell Shorto ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Sixteen years after Ren? Descartes' death in Stockholm in 1650, a pious French ambassador exhumed the remains of the controversial philosopher to transport them back to Paris. Thus began a 350-year saga that saw Descartes' bones traverse a continent, passing between kings, philosophers, poets, and painters.</p> <p>But as Russell Shorto shows in this deeply engaging book, Descartes' bones also played a role in some of the most momentous episodes in history, which are also part of the philosopher's metaphorical remains: the birth of science, the rise of democracy, and the earliest debates between reason and faith. <em>Descartes' Bones</em> is a flesh-and-blood story about the battle between religion and rationalism that rages to this day.</p> <p><strong>A <em>New York Times</em> Notable Book</strong></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。 2,057円

The Armenian History, Narrated by the Armenian Historian of the 7th Century In English and Russian.【電子書籍】[ Sebeos ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When publishing the English translation of the manuscript by Sebeos, we adhered to the same principles that guided us in translating "History of Armenia" by Movses Khorenatsi. We considered it our duty to convey the most accurate meaning of the original, retain its expressions, and present our readers with a translation that, if possible, would replace the original for them.</p> <p>About Sebeos himself, we have the most insufficient information. Chamchyan (II. 345) and O. Shakhatuni (Description. I.285) called him "a bishop in the domain of Bagratuni", and they claimed that Sebeos was present at the Dvin Council, convened by Nerses III in 645. O. Sallantian, in his chronological table, called him a writer of the 7th century. This fact is confirmed by the very work of Sebeos, describing the events that took place in the 7th century, where the author notes: "We heard this all from the men captured by the Tajiks. They, as eyewitnesses, themselves told us about this all." (part III, ch. 30)</p> <p>His entire work is divided into three parts. The first part speaks of the Babylonian origin of the Armenians and their founder Haik, the firstborn in Babylon. The second part provides a synchronistic table of the Armenian, Persian, and Greek kings until the annihilation of the Persian kingdom. The third part consists of 38 chapters. Along with a brief description of the deeds of the Persian kings and the destruction of the Persian kingdom, it reports the constant power struggles among the Armenians that split them into two main sections: one serving the Greeks (Byzantines), and another - the Persians. There were also the Armenians who left both to serve the Turkic Khagan, and later - the Arab invaders.</p> <p>Like Movses Khorenatsi, Sebeos was very honest in relaying the historical matters and did not sugar-coat the facts pertaining to the Armenian people. He noted that, due to their short-lived allegiances and love-hate relationships with the Greek, Persian, and Turkic powers, the Armenians were deemed to be troublemakers. In his letter to the Persian king, the Greek king suggested getting rid of the Armenians by sending them away from their lands: "This is a stubborn and rebellious people. (They) live among us and stir up trouble. Let us (do this -) I shall assemble mine and send them to Thrace; you, too, gather yours and order them to be taken to the east. For if they die, then the enemies will die, and if they kill anyone, they will kill the enemies; and we will live in peace. As long as they remain in their own country, we cannot rest until then." (part III, ch.6)</p> <p>Sebeos did not mince the words about the Armenians who escaped "the Ismailite slavery" in lieu of "their slavish obedience to the Greeks". According to Sebeos, the Armenians were known as the Haiots both to the Persian and Greco-Byzantian kings. (part III, ch.2)</p> <p>The creation of Sebeos was considered completely lost for a long time. The Armenian Archbishop Shakhatuni was the first to find it in the dusty cellars of the Echmiadzin library. Since 1851 when the book by Sebeos was published as "History" in Constantinople, it has become available to all Armenists, some of whom had already used it in their writings. Other scholars also employed it, citing quotations from it, so that the work by Sebeos in a short time became indispensable for students of the history of the East of the 6th - 7th centuries.</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。 2,213円

Sarasvatichandra Part IV: The Dreamland of Sarasvatichandra and the Culmination【電子書籍】[ Govardhanram Madhavram Tripathi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A novel of epic proportions written in four parts from 1887 to 1901, Sarasvatichandra is both the enactment and the embodiment of the life philosophy of one man, and his sole mission.A witness to the intense upheaval that British India was undergoing at the turn of the nineteenth century, Govardhanram’s objective in writing this novel was to educate his readers on key issues of his times and help them find ‘their way out of the darkness into some kind of light’. Part IV, The Dreamland, brings to a culmination the philosophical and narrative concerns explored in Parts I, II, III. At the heart of it lies the question of dharma and right conduct in the realms of state, society, family and love; and widow remarriage, a concern central to late nineteenth-century reform. It offers a utopiaーboth personal and societalーin the form of Kalyangram, where the ideal and desirable dominate over the real and possible. Sarasvatichandra and Kumud, separated in Part I, meet at last on Sundargiri and travel together in a dream.The novel holds up a fascinating mirror to Gujarati society, the role of women in polity and life in the native states against the backdrop of India, pre-Independence, in transitionーculturally, politically and ideologically. Before Gandhi, arguably no other work has so profoundly influenced the ethos and imagination of Gujarat as Sarasvatichandra. Tridip Suhrud, who has also translated Parts I, II and III, is an acknowledged scholar of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Gujarat.</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。 8,792円

An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent Enriched edition. Exploring the Dynamics of Faith and Reason【電子書籍】[ John Henry Newman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent," John Henry Newman pioneers a profound exploration of the nature of belief, drawing a distinct line between intellectual assent and the deeper, often inexplicable intuitions that govern our faith. The book is structured methodically, blending philosophical inquiry with theological exposition, and showcases Newman's masterful command of language, providing a compelling narrative that resonates within the context of 19th-century religious thought. His interplay between rationality and sentiment elucidates the oft-contested relationship between faith and reason, making the work a cornerstone in the philosophy of religion. John Henry Newman was a seminal figure in the development of modern Catholic thought and a cardinal in the Catholic Church. His experiences as an Anglican and later as a Catholic, coupled with his profound reflections on education and religious experience, deeply informed his writing. Newman's background in the Oxford Movement and his commitment to the search for truth created a fertile ground for the contemplations found in this essay, reminding readers of the complexity involved in matters of faith. This book is highly recommended for those interested in philosophy, theology, and the intricacies of religious belief. Newman's insights encourage readers to reflect on their own convictions, offering a rich blend of intellect and spirituality. It stands as a critical resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of faith beyond mere intellectual acceptance. 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. - An Author Biography reveals milestones in the author's life, illuminating the personal insights behind the text. - 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。 300円

Rukhmabai The Life and Times of a Child Bride Turned Rebel-Doctor【電子書籍】[ Sudhir Chandra ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The extraordinary story of a child bride who took on the patriarchy and emerged one of India’s pioneering women doctors.</strong></p> <p>From overcoming stupendous trials to inscribing her name in the annals of women’s liberation, Rukhmabai’s journey is marked by a quiet, unyielding strength. Denied formal education and wedded off at eleven years of age to a nineteen-year-old wastrel named Dadaji Bhikaji, Rukhmabai refused to live with him and was dragged into a vexatious legal suit for the ‘restitution of conjugal rights’. The suit set off a huge social and political debate of far-reaching importance. Coverage of her historic defiance in both British and Indian media established her as a salient figure of global feminism and, along with the backing of notable reformers, soon paved the way for her move to the United Kingdom to study medicine.</p> <p>Studying at the London School of Medicine for Women and qualifying to be a doctor in 1894, she returned to India a celebrity but chose an unglamorous life of service through medical practice. She spent the next many years, until her retirement in 1929, leading hospitals in Surat and Rajkot through two pandemics, performing daring surgeries, awakening women across classes and inspiring them to openly seek medical treatment.</p> <p>An outcome of research spanning decades, Sudhir Chandra’s intelligent, empathetic biography shines brilliant new light on this extraordinary but little-known life of a rebel-doctor who dared to challenge the norms of her time and left behind a formidable legacy. The radical view she proposed of woman’s freedom is yet to be fully realized.</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。 1,571円

Kahlil Gibran’s Tears and Laughter Recast in the True Poetic Form【電子書籍】[ P.S.Remesh Chandran ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>It has been a challenge to music and poetry appreciators all over the world to rediscover the tunes hid by Gibran in his songs. A Dialectical Metaphysicist himself, some uncanny mystic fate surrounded and enveloped his poems which made them immune to unripe persons. Whoever went after Gibran to find out the hidden music in his poems had to suffer and undergo the same misery, poverty, isolation, neglect and suppression depicted by the poet in his poems. That is why those tunes and versifications which were discovered earlier never came out to the printer's press. The strike of fate on those unfortunates who attempted to recast his poems earlier might have been such forceful and complete that they never could have risen again in their lives. Recasting Gibran poems to bring out the rich musical content in them is easy, but surviving and surpassing the fatal strikes extended from the mystic halo surrounding each poem is not at all easy. This author also did not escape unscathed. Someday I wish to write about my horrible experiences. And I hope someday the results of those other attempts would come to daylight and be published. When Gibran in one of his poems wrote about manuscript pages of the dying poet blown away to future generations by the wind, no one thought it to be a key to the mysticism surrounding the real life of this magical poet.</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。 295円

The Trial By Fire: Memoirs Of A College Principal【電子書籍】[ G. Ramachandram ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This autobiography is a rare story of the courage and conviction of a person holding a position of power and authority, taking on the high and the mighty, refusing to buckle under pressure and commit acts which are unethical and illegal, risking his career time and again in the process. The author had a journey in defiance, fighting relentlessly against the corrupt system. During his tenureship of two decades, he had to often face ‘the trails by fire’, in order to secure his college with a solid foundation of perennial values, transparency and commitment to truth. This is a tale of that journey.</p> <p>The autobiography is in four parts.</p> <p>Part: Blissful ignorance- narrates the life of a rustic village boy and his journey of transformation.</p> <p>Part II: Awakening- is about the author’s struggle to find meaning and purpose for existence and the story of how he became a teacher, quite by chance.</p> <p>Part III: Rise ? is regarding his appointment and role as the Principal, the conspiracy to scuttle the appointment and his legal battles.</p> <p>Part IV: Turbulence- is about his uninterrupted nerve-racking duel with multiple authorities to reinstate the truth and justice and protect the institution of a Principal. It is also about how by taking a high moral ground and displaying a young, prompt and agile frame of mind, he weathered a turbulent period of calculated verbal assaults, aimed at making him dispirited and crippled. Needless to say, the truth ultimately triumphed. This is the first time that such an autobiography has been penned by the Head of any educational institution, giving a gripping account of his torrid time. A story of grit and determination through personal and professional set-backs which have not been able to deter him from his mission. The book makes an interesting and inspirational read. It is rich, engaging and extremely truthful.</p> <p>The head of educational institution, particularly the future generation of academic administrators will definitely profit by it.</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。 1,045円

Where Is God? Christian Faith in the Time of Great Uncertainty A Conversation with Andrea Tornielli【電子書籍】[ Juli?n Carr?n ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Should we battle a plural and relativistic society by raising barriers and walls, or should we accept the opportunity to announce the Gospel in a new way? This is the challenge Christians are facing today.</p> <p>In an extended interview with Vatican expert Andrea Tornielli, Juli?n Carr?n examines the historical moment we are living through in order to revive the essential core of Christian faith. Starting from the realization that the world is experiencing an evolution in which the difficulty of finding shared values and natural morality makes sincere dialogue between believers and non-believers challenging, Carr?n reflects on the possibility of communicating the essence of the Christian faith in a form that can inspire interest in modern times.</p> <p>Addressing the central questions concerning the announcement of Christian faith in today’s less regimented society, <em>Where Is God?</em> discovers and rediscovers the contents of Christianity and asks how they can be witnessed again in a society that is not yet post-Christian, but potentially headed in that direction.</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。 3,892円

Eusebius and Empire Constructing Church and Rome in the Ecclesiastical History【電子書籍】[ James Corke-Webster ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History, written in the early fourth century, continues to serve as our primary gateway to a crucial three hundred year period: the rise of early Christianity under the Roman Empire. In this volume, James Corke-Webster undertakes the first systematic study considering the History in the light of its fourth-century circumstances as well as its author's personal history, intellectual commitments, and literary abilities. He argues that the Ecclesiastical History is not simply an attempt to record the past history of Christianity, but a sophisticated mission statement that uses events and individuals from that past to mould a new vision of Christianity tailored to Eusebius' fourth-century context. He presents elite Graeco-Roman Christians with a picture of their faith that smooths off its rough edges and misrepresents its size, extent, nature, and relationship to Rome. Ultimately, Eusebius suggests that Christianity was - and always had been - the Empire's natural heir.</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。 19,668円

Rough and Ready Life Among the New York Newsboys【電子書籍】[ Horatio Alger, Jr. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Rough and Ready: Life Among the New York Newsboys written by Horatio Alger, Jr. who was a prolific 19th-century American writer. "Rough and Ready" is presented to the public as the fourth volume of the "Ragged Dick Series," and, like two of its predecessors, was contributed as a serial to the "Schoolmate," a popular juvenile magazine. Its second title, "Life among the New York Newsboys," describes its character and purpose. While the young hero may be regarded as a favorable example of his class, the circumstances of his lot, aggravated by the persecutions of an intemperate parent, are unfortunately too common, as any one at all familiar with the history of the neglected street children in our cities will readily acknowledge. This book was published in 1869. And now republish in ebook format. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints.

Focusing on the long-standing and bitter battles over recreational use of our parklands, Sax proposes a novel scheme for the protection and management of America's national parks. Drawing upon still controversial disputesーYosemite National Park, the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, and the Disney plan for California's Mineral King ValleyーSax boldly unites the rich and diverse tradition of nature writing into a coherent thesis that speaks directly to the dilemma of the parks.</p> <p>In a new foreword, environmental law scholar Holly Doremus articulates this book’s enduring importance and reflects on what Sax, her former teacher, might have thought about the encroachment of technology into natural spaces, the impact of social media, and growing threats from climate change. At this moment of great uncertainty for the national parks, <em>Mountains Without Handrails</em> should be read (and re-read) by anyone with a stake in America’s natural spaces.</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。 2,598円

A Woman Clothed with the Sun Did Ancient Prophecy Foretell the Death and Rebirth of American Democracy?【電子書籍】[ Jessica Nichole DeVoto ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In September 2017, a rare astronomical alignment mirrored a passage from the Book of Revelation about a woman clothed with the sun giving birth to a king-child. Around this time, America was entering a new phase of political and moral upheaval under Donald Trump. Was this coincidence, or could ancient scriptures have anticipated our present crisis?</p> <p><em>A Woman Clothed with the Sun</em> explores the striking parallels between ancient eschatological texts, primarily the Book of Revelation, supplemented by selections from the quatrains of Nostradamus and the readings of Edgar Cayce, and the existential threats facing American democracy in the 21st century. Written through a secular lens, this book reimagines these prophecies as symbolic warnings about the rise of authoritarianism, disinformation, and political polarization, and also as a call to courage, vigilance, and hope.</p> <p>The "beast from the sea" becomes a stand-in for demagogues like Donald Trump.</p> <p>The "beast from the earth" or the "false prophet" echoes powerful figures like Elon Musk. The fall of "Babylon" mirrors the decline of American ideals and our global reputation. This is not a religious treatise or a doomsday warning; it is a call to civic action. We are the savior we've been waiting for.</p> <p>Blending scriptural exegesis, political insight, and cultural commentary, <em>A Woman Clothed with the Sun</em> offers a new moral narrative for secular progressives and spiritually curious readers 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。 968円

Grasping Truth and Reality Lesslie Newbigin's Theology of Mission to the Western World【電子書籍】[ Donald Le Roy Stults ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When Lesslie Newbigin returned to Britain in 1974 after years of missionary service, he observed that his homeland was as much a mission field as India, where he had spent the majority of his missionary career. He concluded that the Western world needed a missionary confrontation. Instead of the traditional approach to missions, however, Newbigin realized that the Western world needed to be confronted theologically. From his earliest days at Cambridge University, Newbigin developed certain theological convictions that shaped his understanding of the Christian faith. Newbigin utilizes these theological convictions as criteria for evaluating the belief system of Western culture and for providing an answer to Western culture's dilemma. It is Newbigin's contention that the West is suffering from a loss of purpose because at the time of the Enlightenment, it rejected a belief system that gave it purpose. This was also a belief system that made it uniquely different from the rest of the world, particularly Asia. The Enlightenment reintroduced humanism and dualism into Western culture, which resulted in the loss of purpose and the rise of skepticism. Modern science and the scientific method, in the form of scientism, added to the problem, making human reason the measure of truth, and limiting facts to only that which could be verified through controlled experiment. Newbigin's solution is to reintroduce the Christian belief system into Western culture in order to restore purpose and truth to Westerners and to put them into contact with true reality through Jesus Christ. He desires to do this in the context of both modernism and post-modernism. This book will discuss Newbigin's theological convictions and how they factored into both his critique of and his solution for Western culture's spiritual and worldview problems.</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。 4,689円

Memorializing the Past Everyday Life in South Africa After the Truth and Reconciliation Commission【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This work is a meditation on the shaping of time and its impact on living with and understanding atrocity in South Africa in the wake of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). It is an examination of the ways that the institutionalization of memory has managed perceptions of time and transition, of events and happenings, of sense and emotion, of violence and recovery, of the past and the new. Through this process a public language of memory has been carved into collective modes of meaning. It is a language that seems deprived of the hopes, dreams, and possibilities for the promise of a just and redemptive future it once nurtured.Truth commissions are profoundly implicated in the social politics of memorialization. Memory, as a conceptual, historical, and experiential discourse about the past, relates to the ways in which cruelty is integrated into societal understandings, which include cognitive and philosophic frameworks and constructions of social meaning. The politics of historical truth, of memory and of justice, play out in unintended ways. There is not only the ongoing struggle for survivors of state terror, but also the ways that the everyday shapings of silences, the emptiness of reconciliation and the fracturing of hope remain embedded in political life.</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。 10,093円

Red Seas Ferdinand Smith and Radical Black Sailors in the United States and Jamaica【電子書籍】[ Gerald Horne ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>During the heyday of the U.S. and international labor movements in the 1930s and 1940s, Ferdinand Smith, the Jamaican-born co-founder and second-in-command of the National Maritime Union (NMU), stands out as one of the mostーif not the mostーpowerful black labor leaders in the United States. Smith’s active membership in the Communist Party, however, coupled with his bold labor radicalism and shaky immigration status, brought him under continual surveillance by U.S. authorities, especially during the Red Scare in the 1950s. Smith was eventually deported to his homeland of Jamaica, where he continued his radical labor and political organizing until his death in 1961.<br /> Gerald Horne draws on Smith’s life to make insightful connections between labor radicalism and the Civil Rights Movementーdemonstrating that the gains of the latter were propelled by the former and undermined by anticommunism. Moreover, <strong>Red Seas</strong> uncovers the little-known experiences of black sailors and their contribution to the struggle for labor and civil rights, the history of the Communist Party and its black members, and the significant dimensions of Jamaican labor and political radicalism.</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。 4,429円
