The Evolving Soul

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In this thought-provoking and wide-ranging book, Pasquale De Marco takes us on a journey to explore the enigma of morality. Drawing on insights from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, Pasquale De Marco offers a comprehensive and accessible account of the nature of morality and its role in our lives.

Pasquale De Marco begins by examining the evolutionary roots of morality, arguing that our moral sense is a product of natural selection. He then explores the biological basis of right and wrong, showing how our brains are wired to make moral judgments. He also discusses the role of culture and society in shaping our moral values, and the development of moral reasoning in children.

Pasquale De Marco then turns his attention to some of the most pressing ethical dilemmas of our time, including the challenges of climate change, the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, and the future of warfare. He also explores the role of morality in our personal lives, examining the importance of moral autonomy, the pursuit of moral perfection, and the struggle against moral failure.

Throughout the book, Pasquale De Marco draws on a wealth of real-world examples to illustrate his arguments. He also engages with the work of leading moral philosophers and thinkers, past and present. The result is a book that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply relevant to our lives today.

Whether you are a philosopher, a scientist, a policymaker, or simply someone who is interested in the big questions of life, this book is essential reading. It will challenge your assumptions about morality and leave you with a new understanding of the human condition.

Inspirational lessons from Trees...

Niina Niskanen

A long time ago Finns, Finno-Ugric tribes and Baltic tribes practised animistic nature-based belief, where everything in nature had its own place and spirit. Trees were widely worshipped. Some trees, holier than others were called spirit trees. In this course, you will learn about ancient tree worship and mythologies and stories told about different tree species and gods, goddesses and magical creatures related to them. How these trees were used in folk magic and how people saw them. Sacred groves were very common. These special places were thought to harbour gods and goddesses, so they were also worshipped and given sacrificial gifts of food, drink and treasures.Altars were built in these groves for the purpose of worship. An altar was usually a large stone or a wooden table holding a statue or an image of a particular deity.Sacred groves were communally owned by an entire village and were generally located in the woods near the village. People could visit a grove alone or in groups to show reverence to the gods. It was believed that trees understood humans, especially women. People told their troubles to trees and felt certain that the trees kept their secrets.In the old days, people relied more on the forest than they do today. The entire forest ecosystem offered almost all of the materials needed for life: shelter and abundant food like berries, plants, mushrooms and animals.Learn about the Christmas tree tradition and how it arrived in Finland and the tree emuu's, these were spirits that created the different tree species.

The Wars of the Roses

History Nerds

About empty thrones, a lot can be said. Throughout history, both ancient and near modern, a lack of an heir and the sudden death of a beloved monarch always meant trouble. When the position of a king is up for grabs, a lot of eager hands come forward. Pretenders and would-be heirs, cousins and nephews, bastard sons and daughters - they all came forward staking their claim to the throne. In the history of Medieval England, such episodes were many. Usurpers who oust kings and heirs, pretenders with long-forgotten dynastic claims: many once fought for the lucrative throne of the English Kingdom. However, by far the most important of all these historic episodes lasted from 1455 to 1487 - 32 long years of struggle and bloodshed in England. And that episode was known as the Wars of the Roses. These wars ravaged England, pitting two competing cadet families of the royal House of Plantagenet - York, and Lancaster. Their supporters, the Lancastrians and Yorkists, descended into bitter warfare over the throne. For their symbols they took red and white roses, respectively - thus giving the name to the conflict.

Ancient Japan - Foundations of a...

Rolf Hedger

The early history of Japan was shaped by three key periods—the Kofun, Yamato, and Asuka—each playing a crucial role in laying the foundations of the Japanese nation.  
The Kofun Period, named after the massive burial mounds built for elite rulers, saw the rise of warrior aristocracy and the early consolidation of power by influential clans. This era transitioned into the Yamato Period, during which the Yamato clan emerged as Japan’s first ruling dynasty, establishing the imperial lineage that continues to this day.  
The Asuka Period marked a profound transformation as Buddhism, Confucian governance, and Chinese cultural influences began shaping Japan’s political and social structures.  
The Taika Reforms introduced centralized administration, strengthening the authority of the emperor.  
These three periods together set the stage for Japan’s evolving identity, blending indigenous traditions with foreign influences to create a distinct and enduring civilization.
