Sinopsis

In "The Abolition Fight in England," Thomas Clarkson meticulously chronicles the arduous struggle against the transatlantic slave trade, blending rigorous historical research with impassioned prose. Published in 1808, the book is an epitome of Enlightenment thought, rich with empirical data and personal testimonies that illuminate the moral and ethical dimensions of abolitionism. Clarkson's literary style is characterized by a compelling narrative interspersed with persuasive rhetoric, aiming to engage both the intellect and the emotions of his readers during a time of escalating moral awareness regarding slavery. Thomas Clarkson, a prominent English abolitionist and social reformer, was profoundly influenced by his Quaker upbringing and a fervent commitment to social justice. His dedication to the abolitionist cause stemmed from a chance encounter with a ship's captain who recounted the horrors of the slave trade. This pivotal moment ignited Clarkson's lifelong mission, marked by extensive travels and meticulous research, ultimately leading to pivotal activism that swayed public opinion. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in social justice, the history of human rights, and the interplay of morality and law. Clarkson invites readers to grapple with the complexities of moral action, making it a profound exploration of conscience and activism that resonates with contemporary struggles for equality and justice.

    Arranging ofrendas. Brewing pericón into a healing tea. Releasing traumas through baños and limpias. Herbalist and curandera Atava Garcia Swiecicki spent decades gathering this traditional knowledge of curanderismo, Mexican folk healing, which had been marginalized as Chicanx and Latinx Americans assimilated to US culture. She teaches how to follow the path of the curandera, as she herself learned from apprenticing with Mexican curanderas, studying herbal texts, and listening to her ancestors. In this book listeners will learn the Indigenous, African, and European roots of curanderismo. Atava also shares her personal journey as a healer and those of thirteen other inspirational curanderas serving their communities. She offers listeners the tools to begin their own healing—for themselves, for their relationship with the earth, and for the people. 
     
     
     
    The Curanderx Toolkit includes more than twenty-five profiles of native and adopted plants of Baja and Alta California and teaches you to grow, know, and love them. This book will help anyone who has lost connection with their ancestors begin to incorporate the herbal wisdom and holistic wellness of curanderismo into their lives. Take the power of ancient medicine into your own hands by learning simple herbal remedies and practicing rituals for kinship with the more-than-human world.

  • The Wisdom of the Ancients - Four Ideas that Changed the World - cover

    The Wisdom of the Ancients -...

    This book is about four cornerstones of modern thought that were put in place by people living in the ancient Mediterranean world. It covers approximately 2,000 years in time (from ca. 1000 BCE to 1000 CE) and spatially moves from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia (roughly, modern Iraq), through Greece and Rome, to the new Germanic states growing in what is now western Europe. 
     
     
     
    The four ideas, as author H. A. Drake proposes, are monotheism, the idea that there is only one god, not many; individual rights, the idea that there is a limit to what the state can order us to do; naturalized citizenship, the idea that the full rights and privileges of citizenship can be extended to people who have no birthright to them; and creation of a standard by which to judge the performance of states. It is easy, now, to take these ideas for granted. By discussing these ideas in their historical context with clarity and wit, The Wisdom of the Ancients reminds listeners how preposterous they were originally and how different our world would be if they had not taken hold.

    In Kant Today: A Survey, Erich Przywara explores the enduring impact of the tensions inherent in Immanuel Kant’s thought on continental philosophy over nearly a century and a half. Drawing parallels to the efforts at synthesis of Thomas Aquinas, Przywara presents Kant as a thinker striving to reconcile disparate currents of contemporary thought. While Aquinas fused neo-Platonic Augustinian philosophy with the neo-Aristotelianism of the Parisian Arts Faculty, Kant sought to harmonize continental idealism with the skepticism and empiricism exemplified by a British thinker like David Hume.   Aquinas’s synthesis maintained coherence due to his reliance on the analogia entis. In contrast, Kant’s synthesis lacked such a unifying principle, leading to the proliferation of philosophical antitheses reverberating throughout nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Europe. Kant Today chronicles the aftermath of Kant’s tumultuous synthesis and suggests that the resolution may lie in a thinker capable of uniting Augustine’s fervent pursuit of God with Aquinas’s distinctive epistemological equilibrium—namely, John Henry Newman.
