Beschreibung

"Chinese Zodiac" explores the fascinating world of the Chinese lunar calendar, revealing its historical roots and enduring cultural impact. The book examines how this ancient system, with its twelve zodiac animals, continues to shape traditions, beliefs, and even major life decisions like marriage and career choices.

 
Discover the historical development of the lunar calendar, tracing its evolution from ancient astronomical observations to its formalization across dynasties. Each zodiac animal's symbolic meaning and associated traits are illuminated, revealing the legends behind their significance. For example, the Dragon symbolizes power and good fortune, while the Ox represents diligence and honesty.

 
The book progresses from foundational knowledge to deeper insights, exploring the mythology, personality traits, and compatibility associated with each animal. It also investigates the zodiac's modern applications, including its influence on horoscopes, fortune-telling, and Feng Shui.

 
Ultimately, the book argues that the Chinese Zodiac is more than just a calendar system; it's a dynamic framework that influences how individuals understand themselves and their place in the cosmos. Supported by historical texts and anthropological studies, this exploration offers valuable insights for students of Chinese culture, history enthusiasts, and anyone curious about astrology.

    One of the most widely discussed philosophers of the 21st century finds common ground between spiritual and secular ethics in this provocative book.As controversial and he was influential, Richard Rorty developed a brand of philosophical pragmatism that rejects all theories of truth. His groundbreaking work also dismisses modern epistemology and its preoccupation with knowledge and representation. Though he was a strict secularist, Rorty believed there could be no universally valid answers to moral questions. This led him to a surprisingly complex view of religion rarely expressed in his writings. In this posthumous publication, Rorty finds in the pragmatic thought of John Dewey, John Stuart Mill, William James, and George Santayana, among others, a political imagination shared by religious traditions. Rather than promote belief or nonbelief, Rorty seeks to locate patterns of similarity and difference so an ethics of decency and a politics of solidarity can rise. He particularly responds to Pope Benedict XVI and his campaign against the relativist vision. Whether holding theologians, metaphysicians, or political ideologues to account, Rorty remains steadfast in his opposition to absolute uniformity and its exploitation of political strength.

    For adoptees, the word 'lucky' gets thrown around a lot. They're regularly told they're lucky to not be in an orphanage, lucky to have been brought into a family, lucky to be adopted at all. Often they're depicted in media as being broken, in need of saving and fixing. Then they're expected to become the hero of their own journeys and overcome their origins.
    Whatever Next? considers how these traditional narratives surrounding adoption have both dominated and damaged adoptive communities for many years, and what we should do to avoid these pitfalls.
    Inspired by the conversations within their Whatever Next? community project, Jo, Addie and Hannah explore the key tropes that adoptees grapple with and how these conversations are evolving, with the goal of kickstarting new dialogues around the adoption experience more broadly, and showcase how beneficial shared discussion can be.
