An Ethics for Today - Finding Common Ground Between Philosophy and Religion

Sinopse

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.

Using the four skills of DBT—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—you'll learn to work through difficult thoughts and feelings and stay grounded in the moment. You'll also discover polyvagal techniques to help you soothe an overwhelmed nervous system and feel safe and at home in your body. 
     
    If you're seeking relief from the mental, emotional, and physical effects of trauma, this workbook offers innovative strategies and exercises to help you move beyond experiences of your past and find your way back to peace, stability, and the life you want.

    Political Economy

    John Ruskin was a Victorian-era writer, art critic, and social thinker who wrote extensively on political economy. He was critical of the industrialization and capitalism that were taking hold in Britain during his time, and he believed that these developments were causing great harm to both the natural environment and human society. 
    Ruskin believed that the capitalist system was inherently flawed because it focused solely on maximizing profits and disregarded the well-being of workers, the environment, and society as a whole. He argued that the pursuit of wealth at all costs led to the exploitation of labor, the destruction of natural resources, and the degradation of art and culture. 
    In response to these problems, Ruskin advocated for a different economic system that was more in tune with the needs of people and the environment. He believed that the economy should be organized around the principles of social justice, sustainability, and community. 
    Ruskin's ideas were influential in the development of the Arts and Crafts movement, which sought to promote traditional crafts and design in opposition to the mass-produced goods of industrial capitalism. His critique of the capitalist system also influenced later socialist and environmental movements.

    When we hear news stories about displaced people, people running away from war, living in exile, they're always accompanied by big numbers, presented as waves of immigrants. The Last Day Before Exile re-focuses the narrative to the human side, sharing some of the hardest moments of their lives, where they had to make the decision to stay or go.
    
    Tracing the steps of professionals who have moved from the Gaza Strip, Pakistan, Morocco, Iran, Afghanistan Turkey, and Ukraine, Selin Bucak shares stories of rebellion, fear, and, in some cases, victory.
    
    To truly understand what immigrants often have to go through at the hands of governments, legislation, and war, we need to put ourselves into the shoes of the people living in exile.

    From Mammies to Militants -...

    From Charles Chesnutt's The Marrow of Tradition to Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Black writers, some of whom worked as maids themselves, have manipulated the stereotype in a strategic way as a figure to comment on Black-white relations or to dramatize the conflicts of the Black protagonists. In fact, the characters themselves, like real-life maids, often use the stereotype to their advantage or to trick their oppressors. 
     
     
     
    Harris combines folkloristic, sociological, historical, and psychological analyses with literary ones, drawing on her own interviews with Black women who worked as domestics. She explores the differences between Northern and Southern maids and between "mammy" and "militant." Often privileging political statements over realistic characterization in the design of their texts, the authors in Harris's study urged Black Americans to take action to change their powerless conditions, politely if possible, violently if necessary. 
     
     
     
    In her new afterword, "From Militants to Movie Stars," Harris looks at domestic workers in African American literature after the original publication of her book in 1982. Exploring five subsequent literary treatments of Black domestic workers, Harris tracks how the landscape of representation of domestic workers has broken with tradition and continues to transform into something entirely new.

    Egyptian Science – Innovations and Discoveries of the Ancient World (3 in 1) offers a captivating dive into the scientific brilliance of ancient Egypt, revealing how a civilization often known for its mysticism was also a beacon of practical knowledge and invention. This collection highlights the remarkable advancements made by Egyptian scholars, physicians, engineers, and astronomers—centuries before many of these concepts reached the rest of the world. 
    The first section explores medicine and anatomy, showcasing how ancient Egyptian doctors performed surgeries, treated wounds, and understood diseases with a surprisingly systematic approach. Medical texts, herbal remedies, and anatomical observations formed the foundation of a health system deeply intertwined with both empirical knowledge and spiritual beliefs. 
    In the second section, readers uncover the mathematical and engineering feats that made the construction of monumental structures like pyramids and temples possible. Discover how Egyptians used geometry, surveying tools, and complex planning techniques to design precise buildings and manage the Nile’s life-giving floods. Their grasp of weights, measurements, and balance was essential to everything from agriculture to architecture. 
    The final section reveals the Egyptians' advanced understanding of astronomy and timekeeping. They charted celestial movements, created solar calendars, and aligned structures with astronomical events. Whether for agricultural cycles, religious ceremonies, or royal rituals, their scientific innovations were closely tied to their spiritual worldview. This volume shows how ancient Egypt’s legacy is not only in stone but also in knowledge that shaped civilizations to come.
