Sinopsis

In "David Hume: On Religion," Hume delves into the intricate interplay between human belief systems and the philosophical underpinnings of religion. This work combines Hume's empiricist philosophy with a rigorous examination of religious phenomena, critically analyzing the nature of faith, superstition, and the arguments for the existence of God. Employing a clarity of prose that is characteristic of the Scottish Enlightenment, Hume invites readers to question established dogmas with a skeptical lens, thereby situating his discourse within the broader intellectual currents of rationalism and empiricism of the 18th century. David Hume, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, profoundly influenced the realms of metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology, paving the way for modern philosophical inquiry. His own experiences, shaped by the vibrant philosophical debates of his time and his skepticism towards organized religion, fueled his exploration of the rational foundations—or lack thereof—of faith. Hume's reflections were transformative, challenging prevailing religious convictions and advancing the discourse on human understanding of the divine. "David Hume: On Religion" stands as an essential read for anyone seeking to grasp the foundations of modern secular thought. Hume's analytical approach not only fascinates scholars of philosophy and theology but also provokes thoughtful reflection for general readers questioning the complexities of belief and reason in today's world.

The Oberlin Wellington Trial -...

Herbert Addison Burns

This audiobook is a continuation of The Oberlin-Wellington Rescue. Circumventing the Ohio statues to punish participants in a slave rescue mission is the theme of this astonishing narration. Based on the actual trial from the Oberlin Wellington Rescue, courtroom corruption will be brought to light. Confirmed historical documentation characterized in this audiobook contradicts a major theory surrounding ," The Oberlin Wellington Rescue" by most historians. A more in depth legal look takes place on the prosecution of Simeon Bushnell, an alleged participant in the rescue mission testimonies, and the verdict. Like the audiobook, "The Oberlin Wellington Rescue", the narrator employs multiple character voices to give the listener a sense of what it was like to be at the trial in Cleveland, Ohio in the year 1859. History enthusiast of the Oberlin Wellington Rescue will find this extraordinary event packed with legal insight. And finally, institutionalized racism, and a blatant disregard for the divine law by the judicial system in 19th century Cleveland, Ohio is uncovered.

Witness

Louise Milligan

From the best-selling author of Cardinal comes a searing examination of the power imbalance in our legal system - where exposing the truth is never guaranteed and, for victims, justice is often elusive.

A masterful and deeply troubling expose, Witness is the culmination of five years' research for award-winning investigative journalist Louise Milligan.
Throughout her career charting the experiences of people who have the courage to come forward to police and then look to find justice in court, Milligan has watched how witnesses are treated (or, too frequently, mistreated) in the courtroom. They have described to her how they relive the associated trauma, often years later. Then, she saw this first-hand when she became a witness and was cross-examined herself in the trial of the decade, R v George Pell.
Never-before-published court transcripts expose widespread systemic flaws. And through a combination of extraordinarily candid interviews with defence counsel, prosecutors and even judges, and the heartbreaking stories of witnesses in a number of high-profile cases, the brutal reality of the system is laid bare.
Revealing the devastating effects of an adversarial legal system that can be sexist, callous and too often weighted towards the rich and powerful, Milligan also highlights its failure to protect the wellbeing of the most vulnerable. In detailing these flaws and the ongoing human cost, Witness is a compelling call for change.

Diagnosis Human - How Unlocking...

Amy Begel, David V. Keith

Diagnosis Human offers a compelling alternative to the biomedical model of mental health as it's been promoted over the last thirty years—a model which says that mental distress is a problem of chemical imbalance, or brain chemistry. Biological psychiatry focuses on quantifying the "illness" by an almost exclusive focus on symptoms. In this model, symptoms are never good. They are always seen as a sign that something is wrong with that person, a sign of pathology that must be changed. People now have a name for what they "have" and receive a prescription for it. 
 
 
 
What may appear as intractable individual problems, however, often aren't individual problems at all. This book reveals how many of these distressing emotional states are created by nearly invisible, intimate patterns in our relationships. Diagnosis Human invites listeners into the therapist's office to be part of family therapy sessions, where they can experience practically first-hand what these intimate relationship patterns look and feel like. The authors present cases of adults dealing with depression, couples who come to therapy reeling from the betrayal of an affair, families with kids diagnosed with ADHD, teenagers with anxiety, or young children with temper tantrums. Each therapy session invites listeners to sit in as observers as the case unfolds, sometimes in dramatic fashion.
