Sinopsis

In "Eugenics and Other Evils," G. K. Chesterton presents a fervent critique of the early 20th-century eugenics movement, meticulously dissecting its philosophical foundations and socio-political ramifications. Employing his characteristic wit and incisive logic, Chesterton explores the dangers of applying mechanical principles to human life, advocating for the intrinsic value of individuality over collectivist ideologies. This polemic not only situates itself within the historical context of a burgeoning eugenics discourse but also stands as a timeless reflection on the moral complexities inherent in social engineering and the commodification of human potential. G. K. Chesterton, a prolific writer and thinker, drew from his diverse experiences as a journalist, theologian, and philosopher to craft this incisive work. His deep-rooted beliefs in Christianity and human dignity fuel his arguments against eugenics, as he posits that humanity's worth transcends mere biological determinism. Having witnessed the socio-economic turmoil and ideological extremities of his time, Chesterton was compelled to champion the cause of the marginalized, emphasizing the dire consequences of dehumanization and mechanistic thinking. "Eugenics and Other Evils" is an essential read for those who seek to understand the moral implications of societal frameworks on human life. Chesterton's provocative insights offer valuable lessons in safeguarding human dignity against the encroaching shadows of reductionism and utilitarianism. This book is a clarion call for an ethical examination of our approaches to societal progress, making it indispensable for scholars, ethicists, and anyone concerned with the future of humanity.

    This provocative book takes a critical look at what is increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics—abortion. From pro-choice politicians being denied communion to Democrats being called "the party of death," for some of the most vocal Catholic leaders, the abortion issue often trumps all others. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then explores the issue from legal, moral, and Christian perspectives, presenting compelling reasons why Church leaders and Catholics should stop trying to overturn Roe v. Wade and reconsider the issue.

    I decided to write this book after having written several books on the applications of Taoism in different areas. The applications of Taoism are broad. For everything that has been written, it remains poorly understood. There are several reasons for this. I have practiced Taoism for most of my life. I studied under a Taoist Master and spent many years in a temple. I have read a great deal on the subject. I have discovered that most of what is written is unclear and, in many cases, misleading. Having practiced Taoism for most of my life, I live the Tao, and I have helped others to live it. The reason why it's so difficult to describe Tao because people are attempting to do so through the lens of cognitive understanding and science. The Taoist perspective is completely different, so it does not lend itself well to be described through science or logic. In attempting to cast Taoism in terms of logic or science, most of what makes it unique and effective is lost.. To understand the Tao, you need to live it. 
    I teach aspects of this system to individuals and businesses. On the surface, the system is simple and fundamental. For this reason, many people are tempted to pass it off as being nothing more than insubstantial fluff. However, Taoism is much more than this. I will attempt in this book to explain what Taoism is. I will explain its different perspectives, how to experience it, and how to use it as a functional tool. Within this book and the second one, I will also teach many skills and techniques to develop your Taoist insight. This will help you operate more effectively within the world around you. 
    I will teach you how to use it to make pragmatic changes in your life. It can also be applied to improving business skills and other applications within your jobs or careers. Its applications can span creativity to the organization.
