Sinossi

What is a traditional liberal education, and what are the arguments for it in the twenty-first century? This collection of essays by Anthony O’Hear sets out an alternative educational philosophy to the prevailing progressivist thinking on these issues, which tends to be either utilitarian or child-centred, or both, and often politically motivated.

    Do you believe in evolution, but do not see this belief as necessarily negating the existence of an advanced Intelligence?  
    If so, you may find comfort, inspiration, and perhaps even proof for your beliefs within this ancient Hindu work.  
    The Aitareya Upanishad, which dates back to somewhere around 600-500 BCE, takes us through a journey … the journey of creation. It then leads us through the evolutionary changes that have brought us into this day and age and beyond, into the stage of existence that the ancient Hindus believed would come next. We were all created, the Hindus tell us, for a reason, and we are all evolving towards a particular state of beingness.  
    How can the Hindus be so sure that evolution is fact, and how can they be so sure that there is some sort of Intelligence behind it all? The Hindu religion is the oldest on earth. Their ancestors claim to have actually witnessed a small portion of evolution in action, and through their experiences, also claim to have discovered the underlying intent of life (both in the general and the individual sense). This work goes into these experiences and the insights the Hindus claim to have gained from them. 
    Also included in this narrative is an early Hindu concept of time and space that is extremely difficult to wrapt the human mind around. These concepts, however, coincide very closely with the findings of modern physics. 
    This work is my interpretation of the Aitareya Upanishad. I have endeavored to simplify its teachings, expand where needed, and include modern concepts, discoveries, and quotes to make the central concepts found within it more digestible to modern seekers, especially beginners.

    [How to Recognize Toxic Anxiety] delves into the intricate landscapes of modern anxiety with unflinching precision and intimate understanding. Through lyrical prose that echoes the quiet moments of psychological struggle, this groundbreaking exploration maps the subtle territories where anxiety infiltrates daily life. With remarkable attention to detail, the book illuminates how anxiety transforms ordinary experiences—from morning coffee rituals to midnight thoughts—into complex negotiations with fear. Drawing on rich metaphorical frameworks of weather patterns, architecture, and internal chemistry, it offers readers a revolutionary lens for understanding their own experiences of anxiety. What sets this work apart is its masterful balance of scientific insight and emotional resonance, weaving together the biological underpinnings of anxiety with the deeply personal experience of navigating its presence in contemporary life. The narrative doesn't just describe anxiety; it captures its essence in the spaces between heartbeats, in the pauses between breaths, in the moments between thoughts—making visible what has long remained unseen.

    David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion had not yet been published when he died in 1776. Even though the manuscript was mostly written during the 1750s, it did not appear until 1779. The subject itself was too delicate and controversial, and Hume’s dialectical examination of religious knowledge was especially provocative. What should we teach young people about religion?
     
    The characters Demea, Cleanthes, and Philo passionately present and defend three sharply different answers to that question. Demea opens the dialogue with a position derived from Rene; Descartes and Father Malebranche—God’s nature is a mystery, but God’s existence can be proved logically. Cleanthes attacks that view, both because it leads to mysticism and because it attempts the impossible task of trying to establish existence on the basis pure reason, without appeal to sense experience.
     
    As an alternative, he offers a proof of both God’s existence and God’s nature based on the same kind of scientific reasoning established by Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. Taking a skeptical approach, Philo presents a series of arguments that question any attempt to use reason as a basis for religious faith. He suggests that human beings might be better off without religion.
     
    The dialogue ends without agreement among the characters, justifying Hume’s choice of dialogue as the literary style for this topic.

It provides a myriad of skills in breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, cognitive restructuring, and enhanced communication, all to help women manage anger positively and healthfully.
