Sinopsis

"De Tribus Impostoribus," written circa A.D. 1230, is a profound treatise that interrogates the foundations of religious authority by critically examining the lives of three pivotal figures: Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. This satirical and controversial text employs a polemical literary style, blending philosophical inquiry with rhetorical flourish to challenge established religious doctrines. Set against the backdrop of medieval scholasticism and emergent humanism, it captures a pivotal moment in intellectual history where faith and reason began to clash. Through its incisive analysis, the work questions the veracity of divine revelation and the moral implications of blind faith, contributing significantly to debates on rationalism and religious skepticism in the Middle Ages. Attributed to various authors over time, "De Tribus Impostoribus" reflects the anxieties and transformative ideas of the 13th century, a period marked by rapid socio-political change and the rise of dissenting voices against ecclesiastical authority. These influences likely shaped the authorial intent, motivating a critique of religious orthodoxy and advocating for a deeper engagement with human reason and the empirical world. The text serves as a precursor to later Enlightenment thought, revealing the theological and philosophical undercurrents of its epoch. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, philosophy, and history. It invites readers to engage with a provocative discourse that remains relevant today in discussions surrounding faith, authority, and the quest for truth. Whether approached as a historical artifact or a philosophical challenge, "De Tribus Impostoribus" promises to stimulate critical reflection and dialogue.

Saints and Soldiers - Inside...

Rita Katz

More than a decade ago, counterterrorism expert Rita Katz began browsing white supremacist and neo-Nazi forums. The hateful rhetoric and constant threats of violence immediately reminded her of jihadist militants, but law enforcement and policy makers barely paid attention to the Far Right. Now, years of attacks committed by extremists radicalized online—including mass murders at a synagogue in Pittsburgh and mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, as well as the Capitol siege—have brought home the danger. How has the internet shaped today's threats, and what do the online origins of these movements reveal about how to stop them? 
 
 
 
In Saints and Soldiers, Katz reveals a new generation of terrorist movements that don't just use the internet, but exist almost entirely on it. She provides a vivid view from the trenches, spanning edgy video game chat groups to mainstream social media platforms to what ISIS and Far-Right mass-shooters in El Paso, Orlando, and elsewhere unwittingly reveal between the lines of their manifestos. Katz shows how the online cultures of these movements create today's terrorists and shape how they commit "real world" violence. From ISIS to QAnon, Saints and Soldiers pinpoints the approaches needed for a new era in which arrests and military campaigns alone cannot stop these never-before-seen threats.

"Philosophy has been a well-known branch of the humanities for thousands of years. Everyone knows of it, but hardly anyone knows what is behind it. Philosophy experienced its origins at the time of ancient Greece with its well-known representatives Plato and Socrates, to name just two examples. One can translate philosophy as the striving for knowledge about the meaning of life, the essence of the world and the position of man in the world. It describes the teaching and science of the knowledge of the meaning of life, of the world and of man's position in the world. Beyond that, however, it has a further meaning, namely the personal side of each human being and the way in which each one regards life and the world for himself as things. This corresponds to the saying ‘live and let live’"You will learn in this helpful guide ...

The Necessary Journey - Making...

Ella F. Washington

"What does a workplace utopia look like to you?" This is the question Dr. Ella F. Washington asks company leaders, and often she hears about an ideal vision of an organization that values diversity and inclusion and wants employees to bring their whole selves to work. 
 
 
 
But how can you get there? Organizations have largely missed the mark when it comes to creating environments where all employees thrive in an equal and equitable way, because they treat diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a program that gets done rather than the necessary and difficult journey it is. 
 
 
 
The road to an inclusive workplace is a difficult one, but you can traverse it, and there's help along the way. Start here with stories of companies making the necessary journey, including Slack, PwC, Best Buy, Denny's, and many others. Hear from company leaders about their successes and failures, the times they were on the vanguard, and the moments they realized they had much more work to do. These are profiles in perseverance from people who are keen enough to recognize the need for inclusive workplaces and humble enough to know they're not there yet. Along the way, Washington provides a framework for thinking about where these companies are on their journeys and where you and your company may be too.
