Summary

In "Ontological Catastrophe: Žižek and the Paradoxical Metaphysics of German Idealism," Joseph Carew embarks on a compelling exploration of the intersections between contemporary philosophy and the enduring legacy of German idealism. Carew adeptly navigates the complex terrain of Slavoj Žižek's thought, revealing how Žižek's interpretations resonate with, challenge, and expand upon the foundational concepts established by German idealists such as Hegel and Kant. The literary style is rigorous yet accessible, employing a critical lens that distances itself from both dogmatic adherence to tradition and superficial modern critiques, positioning Žižek as a pivotal figure in contemporary metaphysical discourse. Joseph Carew, an insightful scholar steeped in the nuances of both psychoanalysis and idealist philosophy, draws from his extensive academic background to dissect the paradoxical nature of existence as presented by Žižek. His previous works and scholarly interests in dialectics have uniquely shaped his approach, fostering a profound understanding of how historical philosophical frameworks inform and complicate modern thought. This blend of expertise and personal engagement with the material lends depth to Carew's analysis. This book is highly recommended for students and scholars of philosophy, as well as those intrigued by the contradictions inherent in modern metaphysics. Carew's work not only demystifies Žižek but also invigorates philosophical inquiry, urging readers to engage with the complexities of existence and the intellectual heritage that continues to shape it.

    Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
"A good reason is found in a good body" 
in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
where something cannot be 
a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
then it becomes; 
الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
suitability of a life path that is carried out.

    What's your name? 
 
 
 
Asian Americans know the pain of being called names that deny our humanity. We may toggle back and forth between different names as a survival strategy. But it's a challenge to discern what names reflect our true identities as Asian Americans and as Christians. In an era when Asians face ongoing discrimination and marginalization, it can be hard to live into God's calling for our lives. 
 
 
 
Asian American Christians need to hear and own our diverse stories beyond the cultural expectations of the model minority or perpetual foreigner. A team from East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian backgrounds explores what it means to learn our names and be seen by God. They encourage us to know our history, telling diverse stories of the Asian diaspora in America who have been shaped and misshaped by migration, culture, and faith. As we live in the multiple tensions of being Asian American Christians, we can discover who we are and what God may have in store for us and our communities.

    All This Healing is Killing Me -...

    At age 20, Gabrielle Pelicci returned from her modeling career in NYC to her hometown of Scranton, PA where her mother suddenly passed away. At her mother’s funeral, Gabrielle had a spiritual experience that left her reeling and set her on a heroine’s journey to learn about both the scientific and mystical explanations of human consciousness. Gabrielle studied a dozen healing practices, from alternative medicine to yoga, including travel immersions in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Over the next 10 years, her complex PTSD symptoms persisted. Little by little, Gabrielle’s childhood experiences of domestic violence, and her parents’ mental illnesses and addictions are revealed. At age 30, still grieving the loss of her mother and disgusted with the fact that she can’t overcome her anxiety and depression, Gabrielle attempted to take her own life. Luckily, she survived and continued her journey of healing and trauma recovery, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a professor of Holistic Medicine, with a dissertation on Women Healers. 
In this deeply personal and vulnerable account, Gabrielle reveals how childhood trauma impacts our physical and mental health — as well as our adult relationships. She explores how you are only as sick as your secrets and telling your story is the medicine that can save your life.  All This Healing is Killing Me is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body and celebrates one woman’s ability to write herself a happy ending.
