Be Courteous, or, Religion, the True Refiner Unveiling the Spiritual Essence of True Refinement【電子書籍】[ M. H. Maxwell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Be Courteous, or, Religion, the True Refiner," M. H. Maxwell intricately weaves a narrative that explores the profound connections between courtesy and spirituality. Employing a reflective literary style rich in metaphor and moral allegory, Maxwell addresses the pivotal role of civility in fostering personal and societal transformation. The book situates itself within the broader context of Victorian moral literature, engaging with themes of etiquette and the cultivation of virtue through a religious lens, ultimately positing that true refinement of character is intrinsically linked to acts of kindness and respect. M. H. Maxwell, a noted thinker of the 19th century, draws upon his theological background and experiences in social reform to craft this compelling work. Living during a time when societal norms were rapidly evolving, Maxwell was undoubtedly influenced by the shifting dynamics of personal relationships and community responsibilities. His insights into the interplay between religion and everyday conduct reflect the pressing need for moral guidance in an increasingly complex world, marking him as a voice of clarity and hope in turbulent times. I highly recommend "Be Courteous, or, Religion, the True Refiner" to readers seeking both inspiration and a critical examination of the ethical imperatives of daily life. This book not only invites reflection but inspires action, making it a vital addition to any scholar's collection on virtue and morality.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

Birth Control: A Statement of Christian Doctrine against the Neo-Malthusians Challenging Neo-Malthusian Ideals: A Christian Perspective on Birth Control【電子書籍】[ Halliday Sutherland ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Birth Control: A Statement of Christian Doctrine against the Neo-Malthusians," Halliday Sutherland confronts the contentious issue of birth control through the lens of Christian ethics and doctrine. His work engages critically with the emerging trends of the early 20th century, specifically the Neo-Malthusian movement advocating for population control through contraception. Sutherland's rhetorical style combines theological argumentation with empirical analysis, creating a compelling narrative that is steeped in moral philosophy and social ethics, thus positioning the book within the broader context of debates around sexuality, family, and responsibility in post-Victorian society. Halliday Sutherland, a physician and Christian moralist, brings his diverse experiences in medicine and pastoral care to the discourse on birth control. His commitment to protecting traditional Christian values likely stems from his background and the prevailing cultural challenges posed by scientific progressivism. By weaving personal anecdotes with theological reflections, Sutherland provides a unique perspective that reflects both compassion and firmness in his arguments against contraception, highlighting the moral implications for society at large. This book is essential reading for those interested in the intersections of religion, ethics, and social policy. Sutherland's insightful critique of Neo-Malthusianism not only challenges contemporary assumptions about personal autonomy and family planning but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical underpinnings of the current discourse surrounding birth control within a Christian framework.</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

ZADIG - The Book of Faith (Illustrated) Historical Novel - A Story from Ancient Babylonia【電子書籍】[ Voltaire ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "ZADIG - The Book of Faith (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Zadig or The Book of Fate is a famous novel and work of philosophical fiction written by Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire. It tells the story of Zadig, a philosopher in ancient Babylonia. Disillusioned with women, Zadig turns to science but his knowledge lands him in prison. Upon his release from prison, Zadig rises in favour with the king and queen of Babylonia and is eventually appointed prime minister, but he is forced to flee the kingdom after his love for queen Astart? is discovered. Having reached Egypt, Zadig kills an Egyptian man while valiantly saving a woman from the attack and this crime means that he must become a slave. After earning his freedom, he begins his journey back to Babylonia in order to discover what has become of Astart? and he is taken captive by a group of Arabs, from whom he learns that king Moabdar has been killed. On his return, the final part of the challenge to be king is taking place. The author does not attempt any historical accuracy, and some of the problems Zadig faces are thinly disguised references to social and political problems of Voltaire's own day. It is philosophical in nature, and presents human life as in the hands of a destiny beyond human control. Fran?ois-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and separation of church and state. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his 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。 300円

Russia's Islam and Orthodoxy beyond the Institutions Languages of Conversion, Competition and Convergence【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Islam and the Orthodox Church in contemporary Russia are usually studied in isolation from each other, and each in relation to the Kremlin; the latter demands the development of a home-grown and patriotic ‘religious traditionalism, as a bulwark against subversive ‘non-traditional’ imports. This volume breaks new ground by focusing on charismatic missionaries from both religions who bypass the hierarchies of their respective faith organizations and challenge the ‘traditionalism’ paradigm from within Russia's many religious traditions, and who give new meanings to the well-known catchwords of Russia's identity discourse.</p> <p>The Moscow priest Daniil Sysoev confronted the Russian Orthodox Church with ‘Uranopolitism’, a spiritual vision that defies patriotism and nationalism; the media-savvy Geidar Dzhemal projected an ‘Islamic Eurasianism’ and a world revolution for which Russia's Muslims would provide the vanguard; and the Islamic terrorist Said Buriatskii found respect among left- and right-wing Russians through his Islamic adaptation of Lev Gumilev's ‘passionarity’ paradigm. On the other side, Russian experts and journalists who propagate the official paradigm of Russia's ‘traditional Islam’ argue from either Orthodox or secularist perspectives, and fail to give content to the concept. This allows even moderate Salafis to argue that their creed is Russia's real ‘traditionalist’ Islam. This book was originally published as a special issue of <em>Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations.</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。 9,116円

Epistemic Injustice and the Philosophy of Recognition【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This volume includes original essays that examine the underexplored relationship between recognition theory and key developments in critical social epistemology. Its aims are to explore how far certain kinds of epistemic injustice, epistemic oppression, and types of ignorance can be understood as distorted varieties of recognition and to determine whether contemporary work on epistemic injustice and critical social epistemology more generally have significant continuities with theories of recognition in the Frankfurt School tradition. Part I of the book focuses on bringing recognition theory and critical social epistemology into direct conversation. Part II is devoted to analysing a range of case studies that are evocative of contemporary social struggles.</p> <p>The essays in this volume propose answers to a number of thought-provoking questions at the intersection of these two robust philosophical subfields, such as the following: how well can different types of epistemic injustice be understood as types of recognition abuses? How useful is it to approach different forms of social oppression as recognition injustices and/or as involving epistemic injustice? What limitations do we discover in either or both recognition theory and the ever-expanding literature on epistemic injustice when we put them into conversation with each other? How does the conjunction of these two accounts bear on specific domains, such as questions of silencing?</p> <p><em>Epistemic Injustice and the Philosophy of Recognition</em> heralds new directions for future research that will appeal to scholars and students working in critical social epistemology, social and political theory, continental philosophy, and a wide range of critical social theories.</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。 8,953円

The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ The Account of his "Lost" Years (Based on the Tibetan Manuscript)【電子書籍】[ Nicolas Notovitch ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The traditional Christian doctrine lacks information about the life of Jesus Christ in the age of 13-33. This book, first published at the end of the 19th century gives an unexpected answer. It is based on the Tibetan manuscript found in 1980's and tells that the mystery of the "lost years" of Jesus lies in his travel to Nepal. There, he learned Buddhist teachings and philosophy to complete his world view and later reflect it in his teaching. The book has caused some big waves in its time and the discussions continue even today. Was this possible and real? What was the purpose of such a dangerous journey? The proponents of this theory state that at the time of Jesus Christ, Nepal was a center of the most advanced philosophy ? Buddhism. It was natural for a spiritual leader to learn and teach one of the best philosophies of the world.</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

The Amur River Between Russia and China【電子書籍】[ Colin Thubron ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"A gripping read with fascinating political insight." (Sunday Times, London)</strong></p> <p><strong>"Elegant, elegiac and poignant...Thubron is an intrepid traveler, a shrewd observer and a lyrical guide... to the river, much of it along the border between these two powers at a time of rapid and tense reconfiguration of global geopolitics." (Washington Post)</strong></p> <p><strong>The most admired travel writer of our timeーauthor of <em>Shadow of the Silk Road</em> and <em>To a Mountain in Tibet</em>ーrecounts an eye-opening, often perilous journey along a little known Far East Asian river that for over a thousand miles forms the highly contested border between Russia and China.</strong></p> <p>The Amur River is almost unknown. Yet it is the tenth longest river in the world, rising in the Mongolian mountains and flowing through Siberia to the Pacific. For 1,100 miles it forms the tense border between Russia and China. Simmering with the memory of land-grabs and unequal treaties, this is the most densely fortified frontier on earth.</p> <p>In his eightieth year, Colin Thubron takes a dramatic journey from the Amur’s secret source to its giant mouth, covering almost 3,000 miles. Harassed by injury and by arrest from the local police, he makes his way along both the Russian and Chinese shores, starting out by Mongolian horse, then hitchhiking, sailing on poacher’s sloops or travelling the Trans-Siberian Express. Having revived his Russian and Mandarin, he talks to everyone he meets, from Chinese traders to Russian fishermen, from monks to indigenous peoples. By the time he reaches the river’s desolate end, where Russia’s nineteenth-century imperial dream petered out, a whole, pivotal world has come alive.</p> <p><em>The Amur River</em> is a shining masterpiece by the acknowledged laureate of travel writing, an urgent lesson in history and the culmination of an astonishing career.</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。 1,956円

The Conscious Mind In Search of a Fundamental Theory【電子書籍】[ David J. Chalmers ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning? These questions today are among the most hotly debated issues among scientists and philosophers, and we have seen in recent years superb volumes by such eminent figures as Francis Crick, Daniel C. Dennett, Gerald Edelman, and Roger Penrose, all firing volleys in what has come to be called the consciousness wars. Now, in <em>The Conscious Mind</em>, philosopher David J. Chalmers offers a cogent analysis of this heated debate as he unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain. Writing in a rigorous, thought-provoking style, the author takes us on a far-reaching tour through the philosophical ramifications of consciousness. Chalmers convincingly reveals how contemporary cognitive science and neurobiology have failed to explain how and why mental events emerge from physiological occurrences in the brain. He proposes instead that conscious experience must be understood in an entirely new light--as an irreducible entity (similar to such physical properties as time, mass, and space) that exists at a fundamental level and cannot be understood as the sum of its parts. And after suggesting some intriguing possibilities about the structure and laws of conscious experience, he details how his unique reinterpretation of the mind could be the focus of a new science. Throughout the book, Chalmers provides fascinating thought experiments that trenchantly illustrate his ideas. For example, in exploring the notion that consciousness could be experienced by machines as well as humans, Chalmers asks us to imagine a thinking brain in which neurons are slowly replaced by silicon chips that precisely duplicate their functions--as the neurons are replaced, will consciousness gradually fade away? The book also features thoughtful discussions of how the author's theories might be practically applied to subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence and the interpretation of quantum mechanics. All of us have pondered the nature and meaning of consciousness. Engaging and penetrating, <em>The Conscious Mind</em> adds a fresh new perspective to the subject that is sure to spark debate about our understanding of the mind for years to come.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,628円

Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus【電子書籍】[ Thomas Sherlock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 'Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus,' Thomas Sherlock meticulously interrogates the historical and theological implications surrounding the resurrection of Christ, a cornerstone of Christian belief. Employing a rigorous analytical lens, Sherlock adopts a style that blends philosophical inquiry with a narrative structure that engages both reverent and skeptical audiences. He seeks to unravel the credibility of the resurrection witnesses, utilizing a framework reminiscent of legal proceedings to dissect testimonies and objections, firmly situating his discourse within the Enlightenment context that questioned traditional authority and religious truths. Thomas Sherlock, an esteemed bishop and a prominent figure in 18th-century theological debates, produced this work against the backdrop of a burgeoning skepticism and the rationalist discourse that characterized his era. His scholarly pursuits were deeply rooted in an earnest commitment to defending orthodox Christianity while addressing contemporary doubts with intellectual rigor. Sherlock's background in both theology and philosophy uniquely equipped him to tackle these complex issues, elevating the discourse around the resurrection beyond mere belief into the realm of intellectual examination. Readers will find in Sherlock's 'Trial of the Witnesses' an essential text that not only challenges preconceived notions of faith but also enriches one's understanding of early Christian testimony.
