LI KI (The Book of Rites)

Anonimo

Sinossi

LI KI (The Book of Rites) is a comprehensive text that encompasses social norms, rituals, and ceremonial rites in ancient China. This book is written in a highly structured and poetic style, making it a classic example of early Chinese literature. The content of the book reflects the Confucian emphasis on hierarchy, propriety, and filial piety, serving as a guide for individuals on how to conduct themselves in various social situations. With its detailed descriptions of etiquette and moral behavior, LI KI provides insight into the values and beliefs of ancient Chinese society. Anonymous, the mysterious author of LI KI, likely drew from years of observation and reflection to compile this extensive work on social customs. The author's anonymity adds to the mystique surrounding the text, inviting readers to delve deeper into the cultural significance of the rituals and practices described within its pages. I highly recommend LI KI to readers interested in Chinese history, literature, and philosophy, as it offers a unique perspective on the moral teachings and social structures of ancient China.

See the World Clearly - Be...

Martin K. Ettington

Even in our modern technological age where Science is supposed to be preeminent we live in a fog of delusions and misinformation about our world.Our problems are a lot deeper than Pandemic issues and current political struggles. While our religions are important to human wellbeing many religious dogmas stop us from asking questions which results in hiding the truths of deeper spirituality from most of us.Through my experiences, research, and writing on topics like longevity, the paranormal, legendary beings, time and dimensional travel, aliens and UFOs, and many other subjects I have found many inconsistencies and a lack objective analysis of these subjects. Even scientists make assumptions about their topics which may not be correct.Misinformation and delusional thinking also leads to unnecessary unhappiness and to us limiting ourselves in our career choices and work endeavors.We also don’t realize that the Unconditional Love of others and our world is out there waiting for us. Once we realize this it makes us much happier and more satisfied in our lives.My goal in this book is to help readers to think more openly and clearly about the real truths which exist in our world and universe. Changing your point of view and becoming more open minded will also help you live a happier and more fulfilling life. It will also help you learn to live in the all-encompassing love of life which is our heritage as human beings.

Being Cosmopolitan - A Political...

Luke Ulas

What does it mean to be cosmopolitan? Typically, cosmopolitanism is understood as a broad moral orientation, involving some kind of commitment to global moral equality. On this understanding, to be cosmopolitan is simply to evidence that moral orientation oneself. By contrast, Being Cosmopolitan takes up a thoroughly political approach. The focus is on what it might mean, and what it is like, to be political in a distinctly cosmopolitan form. What it means to be cosmopolitan in this thoroughly political sense cannot involve appeal to any particular moral orientation, because politics is about, inter alia, the contestation of such orientations and commitments. Instead, this book offers an account that is based upon the internalization of particular kind of global "social imaginary," involving the imagination of a global public to which certain issues—or global public affairs—are understood to pertain. 
 
 
 
Within which kind of global order is it possible, or comfortable, for a cosmopolitical agent to live? In answer to this question, the book argues against the viability of both a world of self-determining peoples, and of "pluralist" global visions—both of which are popular with moral cosmopolitan theorists.
