Persons and Places: The Background of My Life【電子書籍】[ George Santayana ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Persons and Places: The Background of My Life," George Santayana presents an engaging autobiographical narrative that intertwines the philosophical musings for which he is renowned with vivid accounts of his upbringing and the formative experiences that shaped his intellect. Through a rich literary style that melds lyricism and reflection, Santayana invites readers into his world, capturing the essence of late 19th and early 20th century Boston and Spain. The work serves not only as a personal memoir but also as a social commentary, reflecting the cultural and philosophical currents of his time, with particular emphasis on the intersection of personal identity and broader societal constructs. George Santayana (1863-1952) was a philosopher, poet, and novelist who made significant contributions to American and European thought. His own background as a Spanish-American scholar informed his worldview, providing a unique duality that resonates throughout this work. Celebrated for his exploration of aesthetics and ethics, Santayana's reflections in "Persons and Places" reveal the profound impact of his early environment and intellectual influences, illustrating how they informed his philosophical framework. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in philosophy, literary history, and personal narratives that explore the human experience. Santayana's eloquent prose and insightful analysis offer timeless wisdom, making it not only a personal account but a pertinent commentary on the nature of memory and identity. Dive into this evocative memoir to better appreciate the philosophical legacy of one of the 20th century's most notable thinkers.</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

“Fragile Stability” as a Political Background of October 7 Current and Foreseeable Issues in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This edited book aims to offer a comprehensive analysis of the preceding and ongoing development of the Israel-Gaza war, using a multidisciplinary approach. The chapters, written by scholars of the Middle Eastern studies, political science, anthropology, and international law, investigate the root causes of the eruption of the war, taking a viewpoint from within. Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 caused deep shockwaves throughout the world. While the developments seemed unprecedented, the question remains whether it was an unpredictable total surprise. Given the context surrounding Palestine and Israel, it is likely that there were inherent elements in the preceding political environment that led to the current humanitarian disaster and quagmire of the battle. The assumption is that the existence of “fragile stability” might have caused the October 7 attack. What kind of fragility and robustness of the framework existed in the political, social, legal, and international conditions? How did these conditions affect the conduct of the actors in this region ultimately leading to the current situation? What challenges are likely to emerge in this region in the near future? This book addresses these questions from various perspectives. For the best clarification of the questions, authors include experts in American studies who discuss the diplomatic intervention of the United States, a former judge of the International Criminal Court who explores the role of international law in the conflict, and a legal advisor to the Oslo Peace Process who provides understanding the deep roots of the conflict. The analysis of this volume will provide an in-depth understanding of the background of the October 7 attack and contributes to the theoretical development of the concept of “fragile stability,” which can be applied to examine other cases of conflict.</p> <p><em>“Fragile Stability provides a compelling and in-depth historical account of the background that proceeded Hamas’ assault on October 7, 2023, and how it led to an unprecedented upsurge of violence in Gaza, one of the darkest moments in human history. A must-read for those who wish not only to understand the Palestinian-Israeli conflict but also to envision ways of resolving it.”</em></p> <p>--- Sari Hanafi, Professor, American University of Beirut, Lebanon</p> <p><em>This topical edited volume includes a very important collection of essays addressing the political background and general context that led to the catastrophic Israel-Hamas War of 2023-2025, providing clues to make sense of the Hamas assault of October 7, 2023, followed by the Israeli military reaction in the Gaza Strip and the spread of the war in the region. Its unique contribution stems from different levels of analysis: several chapters refer to the domestic political landscapes in both Israel and Palestine, examining the numerous cleavages among and within both societies. In addition, the scope of the analysis broadens by referring also to international law and other relevant international actors, including the United States and Iran.</em></p> <p>--- Arie M. Kacowicz, Professor, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel</p> <p><em>This volume showcases the critical insights and scholarship of Japanese scholars of the Middle East about the causes and consequences of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the war which followed. With close studies of both Palestinian and Israeli politics, Fragile Stability makes a compelling case for an analytical framework which helps make sense of both dramatic changes and remarkable continuities in the conflict.</em></p> <p>--- Marc Lynch, Professor, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA</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。 10,284円

The Spiritual Ground of Education (CW 305)【電子書籍】[ Rudolf Steiner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>9 lectures, Oxford, England, August 16-29, 1922 (CW 305)</strong></p> <p>These lectures follow from those presented in <em>Soul Economy.</em> Given during a conference on spiritual values in education and life and attended by many prominent people of the time, Steiner's Oxford lectures present the principles of Waldorf education at the highest cultural level.</p> <p><em>The Manchester Guardian</em> reported: "Dr. Steiner's lectures...brought to us in a very vivid way an ideal of humanity in education. He spoke to us about teachers who, freely and unitedly, unrestricted by external prescription, develop their educational methods exclusively out of a thorough knowledge of human nature. He spoke to us about a kind of knowledge needed by the teacher, a knowledge of the being of man and the world, which is at the same time scientific and also penetrates into the most intimate inner life, which is intuitive and artistic."</p> <p>These lectures form one of the best introductions to Waldorf education.</p> <p>German source: <em><strong>Die geistig-seelischen Grundkr?fte der Erziehungskunst.

The Social Background of Delinquency【電子書籍】[ Pearl Jephcott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Written in 1954 and published here for the first time, <em>The Social Background of Delinquency</em>deals with the social climate in which juvenile delinquency crops up time after time. It examines ‘bad’ behaviour among people who could otherwise be classed as ‘normal’ members of ordinary English society. It attempts to explore certain aspects of the sub-cultures within respectable society which appear to breed behaviour officially classed as ‘delinquent’. The research is based on a working-class town in the Midlands with a high proportion of miners and observes a pair of similar streets in five areas of the town. Each pair of streets containing one delinquency-free and one with a history of trouble. Not content with a mere survey, the research design is multifaceted and includes ethnographic observations, key informant interviews, personal history analyses and 'the playroom method' explicitly designed to ascertain children's views. The findings are reported here and represent a snapshot of life in the 1950s.</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。 6,511円

B Street The Notorious Playground of Coulee Dam【電子書籍】[ Lawney L. Reyes ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>B Street</em> tells intimate stories about the street of shops, restaurants, bars, and brothels where the workmen who built the Grand Coulee Dam spent their recreational hours and wages. From the beginning, <em>B Street</em> was the place to play and let off steam for the white workingmen who had faced the hard times of the Depression. It was a raucous playground that denied blacks and most dark-skinned Indians access to the frivolity, good times, and pretty ladies that were the main attractions of that provocative place.</p> <p>This vivid story of a colorful era is based largely on the memories of Lawney L. Reyes. As a young boy he wandered <em>B Street</em> with his little sister, Luana, and their dog, Pickles, while their Indian mother and Filipino father eked out a living running a Chinese restaurant. His mother's diary and the stories told by his parents and older members of the Sin-Aikst tribe contribute to his story.</p> <p>Reyes tells of hard times, dreams, and extreme courage and reveals the humor, toughness, and recklessness of the adventurers who came to work on the dam. He also describes the history and culture of the Indians whose villages were flooded and whose way of life was irrevocably changed by the building of the Grand Coulee Dam.</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。 2,761円

The Jewish Underground of Samarkand How Faith Defied Soviet Rule【電子書籍】[ Rabbi Hillel Zaltzman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A portal into the perseverance of Jewish culture in the face of attempts to destroy it.</strong></p> <p>To answer his son's question: <em>what was it like growing up in Samarkand</em>? Rabbi Hillel Zaltzman wrote and researched this memoir and history about Chassidic Jews who found refuge in Samarkand during the World War II and continued to live there under Soviet rule. This is a personal story for Zaltzman, who was born in Kharkov, Ukraine. When the Nazis invaded Kharkov, Zaltzman’s parents fled with their three young children to Samarkand (Uzbekistan). There they reconnected to other refugee Chassidic families, as well as some famous Chassidic rebbes also in flight. In Uzbekistan they created a thriving Jewish community until its institutions were abruptly shut down by Stalin immediately after the war. Still this Jewish community in Samarkand, Uzbekistan is remembered as <em>shpitz Chabad</em>ーthe epitome of Chassidic ideals and devotion.</p> <p>Zaltzman’s father kept him out of the Soviet schools, where atheism was promoted and Sabbath observance was impossible, teaching him furtively at home, until a neighbor discovered his existence at the age of 9. Zaltzman had no choice but to attend a public school then, but he still observed the demands of his faith and stayed home from school when necessary. Hillel studied with esteemed Chabad Chassidic rebbes who taught at great personal risk. If discovered, they could be sentenced to harsh labor in Siberia.</p> <p>Zaltzman credits his father’s unswerving commitment to his <em>chinuch</em>ーhis Jewish educationーwas beyond any compromise, and it was an exemplary expression of their Chabad brand of Chassidic Judaism: “The Chabad community was infused with a rich inner world of Chassidic vitality,” Zaltzman writes.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the Soviet regime remained obsessed with eliminating a Jewish religious identity; a special division of the NKVD (Soviet secret police) was assigned the task of destroying Jewish schools and yeshivas, and surveilling individuals through synagogue informers.</p> <p>Zaltzman records his experiences and adventures and those of other memorable people he has known and the sacrifices they made to share their love of Torah and Jewish learning in the secret underground yeshivas. He describes their attempts to celebrate Jewish holidays, make matzah, and obtain prayer books, as well as their other colorful escapades. He also tells of their exasperating experiences trying to obtain exit visas to leave the Soviet Union. The largely untold story of Chabad activism and heroism comes through with great immediacy in this first-person account of spiritual resistance to a Communist regime at war with the Jewish devotion to God and Torah.</p> <p>From the age 16, along with several other idealistic young men, Hillel Zaltzman was involved in <em>Chamah,</em> an underground Jewish organization that helped sustain and preserve Jewish life in the Soviet Union through education. <em>Chamah</em> established a network of underground Jewish schools that clandestinely taught more than 1,500 children over the years and provided material and spiritual support to Jews trying to obtain exit visas in the 1960s and 70s. Hillel himself was allowed to immigrate to Israel only in 1971, after years of trying. Now living in New York, he is the director of I<em>Chamah</em>, an international organization which is devoted to serving Jews from the Former Soviet Union in Israel, Russia, and the US. Rabbi Zaltzman was honored for his humanitarian and Jewish outreach in the U.S. Senate in May 2016, as part of Jewish American Heritage Month.</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。 1,953円

The Hope in Our Scars Finding the Bride of Christ in the Underground of Disillusionment【電子書籍】[ Aimee Byrd ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Aimee Byrd peels back the church's underlying and pervasive theology of power to face the shame that lurks there and find the lasting hope of belonging in Christ.</strong></p> <p>Some things happening in the church these days should provoke our anger. It's racked with scandals of fraud, abuse, cover-up. It's embroiled in racism, misogyny, marginalization, and hatred. The truth is that we have to fight to love Christ's church. Many of us are left wondering what kind of hope can the church offer if its leaders will not care for its wounds, admit their complicity, and move toward true reconciliation with God's people.</p> <p>From the author of <em>Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood</em> comes a passionate plea to work through our disillusionment with the church and rediscover what's true and beautiful about our covenantal union with Christ.</p> <p>Having tread her own path of disillusionment, Aimee Byrd invites us to see Christ among the chaos so apparent in his church. Along the way, Aimee guides us through deeply theological and personal reflections on how we can:</p> <ul> <li>Cultivate healthier forms of trust by recognizing power structures at work.</li> <li>Understand the limits of authority, and free ourselves from tribes and celebrity culture.</li> <li>Take appropriate social risks by speaking up when we're uncomfortable.</li> <li>Rediscover how our stories matter to God.</li> </ul> <p>This book is written to those who have been wounded by the church. To those who have suffered abuse at the hands of church leaders and are left with deep scars. To those who are disillusioned or deconstructing their faith, <em>The Hope in Our Scars</em> offers a way forward with a God who walks with us in our affliction and wants to make it into something beautiful.</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。 2,250円

Brazil in the Uruguay Round of the GATT The Evolution of Brazil's Position in the Uruguay Round, with Emphasis on the Issue of Services【電子書籍】[ Ricardo Wahrendorff Caldas ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>First published in 1998, this volume analyses Brazil’s strategy in the Uruguay Round, focusing on the issue of services. Three different moments were chosen for analysis. The first was during discussions before the launch of the Uruguay Round. During this period, Brazil led the Less Developed Countries (LDCs), in obstructing the inclusion of services on the agenda. The Second was during the launch of the Uruguay Round, when Brazil persisted with this policy. This second period is referred to as the initial position of Brazil in the Uruguay Round. The third was Montreal, in 1988, when Brazil supported the principles which guided an agreement on services. After this turning point, Brazil’s position in the Round was increasingly supportive of an agreement, not only in services, but in all fields.</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。 5,209円

Mipam on Buddha-Nature The Ground of the Nyingma Tradition【電子書籍】[ Douglas Samuel Duckworth ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A comprehensive overview of Tibetan Buddhist thinker Mipam's work on emptiness and Buddha-nature.</strong></p> <p>Mipam (<em>'ju mi pham rgya mtsho</em>, 1846?1912) is one of the most prolific thinkers in the history of Tibet and is a key figure in the Nyingma tradition of Buddhism. His works continue to be widely studied in the Tibetan cultural region and beyond. This book provides an in-depth account of Mipam's view, drawing on a wide range of his works and offering several new translations. Douglas S. Duckworth shows how a dialectic of presence and absence permeates Mipam's writings on the Middle Way and Buddha-nature.</p> <p>Arguably the most important doctrine in Buddhism, Buddha-nature is, for Mipam, equivalent to the true meaning of emptiness; it is the ground of all and the common ground shared by sentient beings and Buddhas. This ground is the foundation of the path and inseparable from the goal of Buddhahood. Duckworth probes deeply into Mipam's writings on Buddha-nature to illuminate its central place in a dynamic Buddhist 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。 5,114円

Battleground of Desire The Struggle for Self -Control in Modern America【電子書籍】[ Peter N. Stearns ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In recent years, Peter N. Stearns has established himself as the foremost historian of American emotional life. In books on anger, jealousy, "coolness," and body image, he has mapped out the basic terrain of the American psyche.<br /> Now Stearns crowns his work of the past decade with this powerful volume, in which he reveals the fundamental dichotomy at the heart of the national character: a self-indulgent hedonism and the famed American informality on the one hand, and a deeply imbedded repressiveness on the other.<br /> Whether hunting and gathering tribe or complex industrial civilization, every social group is governed by explicit and implicit guidelines on how to behave. But these definitions vary widely. The Japanese worry less about public drunkenness than Americans. Northern Europeans adhere to stricter standards than Americans when it comes to littering. Today, we swear more now and spit less, discuss sex more and death less.<br /> With an emphasis on sex, culture, and discipline of the body, Stearns traces how particular anxieties take root, and how they express inherent tension in contemporary standards and a stubborn nostalgia for the previous nineteenth century regime.<br /> <strong>Battleground of Desire</strong> explodes common wisdom about Americans in the twentieth century as normless and tolerant, emphasizing that most of us follow a litany of rules, governing everything from adultery to bad breath.</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。 11,763円

IMPERIAL GERMANY AND THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: The Background Origins of World War I - Economic Rise as a Fuel for Political Radicalism【電子書籍】[ Thorstein Veblen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "IMPERIAL GERMANY AND THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: The Background Origins of World War I - Economic Rise as a Fuel for Political Radicalism" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The book was published in 1915, after the First World War began. Veblen considered warfare a threat to economic productivity and contrasted the authoritarian politics of Germany with the democratic tradition of Britain, noting that industrialization in Germany had not produced a progressive political culture. Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution is in major part a study of the deviations in cultural and social growth between the English and the German. It deals with the consequences those differences created in social, economic and other domains. Veblen here describes, through the study of German culture, historical and social aspect, how it came to forming of the Third Reich, even before it was formed. He suggests that the Germany's autocracy was an advantage compared to democratic countries. After it was censored during the war, it was later released and it represents a substantial contribution in its sphere of influence. Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and sociologist. He is well known as a witty critic of capitalism. Veblen is famous for the idea of "conspicuous consumption." Conspicuous consumption, along with "conspicuous leisure," is performed to demonstrate wealth or mark social status. Veblen explains the concept in his best-known book, The Theory of the Leisure Class. Within the history of economic thought, Veblen is considered the leader of the institutional economics movement. Veblen's distinction between "institutions" and "technology" is still called the Veblenian dichotomy by contemporary economists.</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

Gaining the High Ground Over Evolutionism【電子書籍】[ Robert J. O'Keefe ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Gaining the High Ground Over Evolutionism recognizes the ideological nature of the topic of origin. It steps out of the realm of Science and begins to deal with the question by reviewing the scientific revolution and its implications in Western thought, studying the interpretation of Genesis 1, and describing relevant aspects of the history of Geology, Biology, and Astronomy.</p> <p>O'Keefe summarizes Science as a means of gaining knowledge and discusses the scientific method as it is applied to natural history. He examines how the court system has dealt with the controversy; draws points from C. S. Lewis's argument against naturalism; and then confronts the ideology behind evolutionary science, the philosophy of naturalism, presenting what he sees are the best arguments against it. Finally, he summons back the grounds for the authority of the Bible and discusses the partnership of reason and faith. Expanding the scope of inquiry beyond the confines of science, O'Keefe shows that the idea of a creator needs to be attended with more seriousness than post-Enlightenment science and philosophy have ever thought necessary.</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

But did such ideas radically appear during the Reformation? In <em>The Roots of Reformed Moral Theology</em>, Bruce P. Baugus traces the story of moral theology from its biblical origins to the eve of the Reformation, demonstrating that Reformed moral sensibilities were received and developed from the greater church tradition. The result is a commendable survey that pays particular attention to the questions and themes most significant to the formation of what became a distinctly Reformed moral theology.</p> <p><strong>Table of Contents:</strong></p> <ol> <li>The Character of Reformed Moral Theology</li> <li>Origins of Moral Theology</li> <li>Redemptive History: Old Testament</li> <li>Redemptive History: New Testament (Part 1)</li> <li>Redemptive History: New Testament (Part 2)</li> <li>Early Church History</li> <li>Late Antiquity and Medieval Eras</li> <li>High Medieval Era: Thomas</li> <li>Late Medieval Era: Scotus and Ockham</li> </ol>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。 3,907円

The Historical Background of the New Testament【電子書籍】[ Walter Smith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The New Testament is not just a collection of sacred writings, but a complex and multifaceted historical document that has shaped the religious, political, and social landscape of the Western world. Understanding its significance requires more than just reading the textーit demands a deep exploration of the historical circumstances that produced it, the diverse ideas it embodies, and the enduring legacy it has left on Christianity and beyond. To engage with the New Testament meaningfully, one must understand the world in which it was written, the people who wrote it, and the larger cultural and religious shifts that were taking place at the time.</p> <p>The context of the New Testament is rooted in the ancient world, where the vast, sprawling Roman Empire ruled over much of Europe, the Near East, and North Africa. The empire, in its zenith, was a cradle of political stability and economic prosperity, known as the Pax Romana. But beneath the outward peace, there was a complex social fabric marked by tensions between different religious and cultural groups. The Jews in Judea, for instance, were under the dominion of Roman authority, but their strong sense of identity, rooted in centuries of tradition and belief in the One God, was a source of both conflict and resilience. In this charged atmosphere, the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth emerged, challenging the existing order and eventually giving birth to what would become Christianity.</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。 450円

The Aesthetic Ground of Critical Theory New Readings of Benjamin and Adorno【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno are considered today to be the two most significant early theorists in founding critical theory. In their works and correspondence, both thinkers turn to art and the aesthetic as a vital way for understanding modern society and developing philosophical methods. This volume of original essays seeks to understand how they influenced each other and disagreed with each other on fundamental questions about art and the aesthetic. The books deals with a variety of key philosophical questions, such as:</p> <p>How does art involve distinctive modes of experience? What is the political significance of modern art?What does aesthetic experience teach us about the limitations of conceptual thought?How is aesthetic experience implicated in the very medium of thought, language?<br /> Ultimately the book presents a systematic argument for the foundational significance of the aesthetic in the development of the early critical theory movement.</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。 6,403円
