  Are We Bodies or Souls?

  What are humans? What makes us who we are? 
   
    
   
  Many think that we are just complicated machines, or animals that are different from machines only by being conscious. In Are We Bodies or Souls? Richard Swinburne comes to the defense of the soul and presents new philosophical arguments that are supported by modern neuroscience. When scientific advances enable neuroscientists to transplant a part of brain into a new body, he reasons, no matter how much we can find out about their brain activity or conscious experiences we will never know whether the resulting person is the same as before or somebody entirely new. Swinburne thus argues that we are immaterial souls sustained in existence by our brains. Sensations, thoughts, and intentions are conscious events in our souls that cause events in our brains. While scientists might discover some of the laws of nature that determine conscious events and brain events, each person's soul is an individual thing and this is what ultimately makes us who we are.

  What does it truly mean to be "immoral"? Is it a flaw to be conquered, or an intrinsic part of our humanity? In this bold and expansive work, A.A. Castor embarks on a sweeping investigation into the roots of our so-called forbidden impulses. Drawing on vivid historical accounts, cutting-edge psychology, and illuminating insights from the animal kingdom, Castor unravels the stories behind behaviors that societies have labeled as taboo or deviant. From ancient rituals to modern counterculture movements, from primal instincts honed by evolution to the ever-shifting moral boundaries shaped by media and technology, this book offers a comprehensive portrait of how "immorality" has both challenged and enriched our collective journey. 
  Through thoughtful analysis and engaging narrative, readers are invited to confront their own assumptions about right and wrong. Rather than condemning our darkest desires, Castor demonstrates how risk-taking, rebellion, and raw self-expression can foster innovation and self-discovery. By weaving together perspectives from philosophy, social science, and personal reflection, We Desire to Be Immoral ultimately urges a more nuanced understanding of human nature—one that embraces our imperfections, values empathy and connection, and dares us to celebrate the liberating power of authenticity. Whether you're intrigued by the hidden forces behind social norms or seeking a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the human spirit, this book is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and revel in the full spectrum of who we are.

  Pontiac's War, also referred to as Pontiac's Conspiracy or Pontiac's Rebellion, was a significant conflict that emerged in the aftermath of the French and Indian War (1754–1763). In 1763, a coalition of Native American tribes, disillusioned with the increasing British presence and control in the Great Lakes region, united under the leadership of the Odawa chieftain Pontiac. These Native American forces launched an offensive aimed at driving British soldiers and settlers from the region. 
  The war began in May 1763 when Native American warriors, fearful of British General Jeffrey Amherst’s harsh policies, launched a series of attacks on British forts and settlements. These assaults led to the destruction of eight forts, the death or capture of hundreds of colonists, and the forced evacuation of many others. The intensity of the conflict shocked the British, as the attacks, though widespread, were coordinated across many tribes, reflecting a united front among the Indigenous people. Despite their efforts, the Native Americans were unable to expel the British from the region. The war finally began to subside in 1764 after British military actions prompted peace talks, which continued into 1766.

  The Dhammapada - The Sayings of...

  Anonyme, Buddha

  The Dhammapada is the most widely read Buddhist scripture in existence, enjoyed by both Buddhists and non-Buddhists. This classic text of teaching verses from the earliest period of Buddhism in India conveys the philosophical and practical foundations of the Buddhist tradition. 
  The text presents two distinct goals for leading a spiritual life: the first is attaining happiness in this life (or in future lives); the second goal is the achievement of spiritual liberation, freedom, absolute peace. 
  Many of the key themes of the verses are presented in dichotomies or pairs, for example, grief and suffering versus joy; developing the mind instead of being negligent about one's mental attitude and conduct; virtuous action versus misconduct; and being truthful versus being deceitful. The purpose of these contrasts is, very simply, to describe the difference between what leads to desirable outcomes and what does not.
