On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason & On the Will in Nature - Exploring Existence Reason and Will: A Metaphysical Inquiry

Arthur Schopenhauer

Sinopsis

Arthur Schopenhauer's "On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason & On the Will in Nature" is a profound exploration of metaphysics and epistemology, presenting a rigorous analysis of causation and the fundamental nature of reality. Written in a philosophical style that combines clarity with depth, Schopenhauer delves into the layers of human understanding, revealing the principle of sufficient reason as it manifests in four distinct domains: becoming, knowing, being, and acting. This work not only situates itself within the philosophical traditions of Kant and post-Kantian thought but also challenges prevailing notions, pushing readers to confront the limitations of rationality and the depths of will and desire that underpin existence. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a pivotal figure in 19th-century philosophy, whose insights into pessimism and the nature of will were influenced by his studies in Eastern philosophy and the turmoil of his own life experience. His reflections on suffering, desire, and the absurdity of existence shaped his worldview, compelling him to articulate ideas that resonate with both existentialists and modern psychological thought. His exploration of the will as a driving force of nature was groundbreaking and laid the groundwork for future philosophical inquiry. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a deeper understanding of metaphysical concepts and their implications on human experience. It invites you to engage with Schopenhauer'Äôs compelling arguments, encouraging a reflective examination of existence that remains relevant in contemporary philosophical discourse. Scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy alike will find this work both challenging and enlightening.

Paths of Dissent - Soldiers...

Andrew Bacevich, Daniel A. Sjursen

American veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan offer invaluable firsthand perspectives on what made America’s post-9/11 wars so costly and disastrous.Twenty years of America’s Global War on Terror produced little tangible success while exacting enormous harm. In Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States sustained tens of thousands of casualties, expended trillions of dollars, and inflicted massive suffering on the very populations that we sought to “liberate.” Now the inclination to forget it all and move on is palpable. But there is much to be learned from the immense debacle. And those who served and fought in these wars are best positioned to teach us. Paths of Dissent collects fifteen original essays from American veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan—hailing from a wide range of services, ranks, and walks of life—who have come out in opposition to these conflicts. Selected for their candor and eloquence by fellow veterans Andrew Bacevich and Daniel A. Sjursen, these soldiers vividly describe both their motivations for serving and the disillusionment that made them speak out against the system. Their testimony is crucial for understanding just how the world’s self-proclaimed greatest military power went so badly astray.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books

Templars in America - The Secret...

Tim Wallace-Murphy, Marilyn Hopkins

“This book is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the true history of the founding of the most powerful nation on earth.” —Scott Wolter, host of America Unearthed and author of Cryptic Code of the Templars in America Using archival and archaeological sources, two historians reveal the hidden history of the Knights Templar and their travels to pre-Columbian America . . . and their influence on the Founding Fathers. Templars in America reveals the story of two leading European Templar families who combined forces to create a new commonwealth in America nearly a century before the voyages of Christopher Columbus. Henry St. Clair of the Orkney Islands, then part of Normandy, and Carlo Zeno, a Venetian trader, made peaceful and mutually beneficial contact with the Mi’qmaq people of what is now Canada. Proof of their travels is carved in stone on both sides of the Atlantic and can be found in documentary evidence borne out by a strong oral tradition that has withstood the test of time. Historians Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins demonstrate how this early contact with the Americas ties into the centuries-long development of the Templars and Freemasonry, which in turn shaped the thinking of the Founding Fathers—and the American Constitution. Wallace-Murphy and Hopkins also reveal the continuous history of American exploration from the time of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, through the age of the Vikings. Templars in America is a wild ride from the golden age of exploration to the founding of the United States.

Deep Reading - Practices to...

"Show[s] how deep reading habits help us manage distraction and bring about individual and communal flourishing."--Christianity Today 
 
This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth.  
 
The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices--distraction, hostility, and consumerism--that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
 
Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ--such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion--and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deep reading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.
