The Bungle Book - G. V. Loewen - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Bungle Book - G. V. Loewen - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Bungle Book presents a demythology of six salient concepts central to our modern self-understanding, The “suspects” of the self, the machine, and God, as well as the “senses” of home, love, and freedom are subjected to an intense analytical scrutiny that is back-dropped by the work of Gadamer, Heidegger, Lingis, Midgely, and other critical voices. Book-ended by a detailed introduction that asks us to “unexpect the expected” and a conclusion that suggests that we need to stop compulsively making sense of living on in order to become more sensible about its human ambiguities, The Bungle Book will be of interest to any who take seriously the contemporary challenge of a global and interconnected existence.

The Book of Job - Leslie S. Wilson - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Book of Job - Leslie S. Wilson - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Book of Job deals with a variety of issues, on levels both superficial and profound. It has been the subject of scholarly debate and analysis ever since its inclusion in the Hebrew Bible. Scholars and theologians have set forth a variety of theories to explain the "human condition" and justify the actions of the Divine toward humanity. The material differences in attempts by scholars to translate the Book of Job are evidence that these theories cannot be supported. The author of the Book of Job employs a unique intertextual code. The code hides a sophisticated agenda that includes not simply the interaction of the Divine and humanity, but also the quality of this interaction. The programmatic investigation by the author reflects also contemporary politico-religious conflicts among Jews of 2nd Century BCE Palestine. Dr. Wilson uncovers the intertextual cipher and opens the window to a single coherent solution to the meaning and intent of the Book of Job.

The Black Book - Richard A. Jones - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Black Book - Richard A. Jones - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Black Book: Wittgenstein and Race attempts to highlight the importance of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s work for contemporary African American and Africana philosophy. Richard A. Jones argues that Wittgenstein’s early Tractarian views on logical atomism and his later more holistic views from his work Philosophical Investigations are exceedingly relevant to African American philosophy. The Black Book investigates the epistemic, linguistic, and political grounds from which inspiration might be drawn. Ultimately, as philosophy attempts to redefine itself in a postmodern discourse where it has been deigned “concluded,” it is the “awe for the ordinary” that Wittgenstein inspires and that should re-inspire the creative imaginary in Africana thought. The Black Book is an attempt to show that Wittgenstein’s work continues to be important, not only for African American philosophers, but for all philosophers.

In the Sign of the Butterfly - Gottlieb Guntern - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In the Sign of the Butterfly - Gottlieb Guntern - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

When this book was first published in German, it topped Switzerland’s non-fiction bestseller list. Now available in English, In the Sign of the Butterfly asks why natural selection eliminated the gigantic dinosaur from the game of evolution some 65 million years ago, yet the delicate butterfly, which already existed at the time, continues to survive. Gottlieb Guntern’s conclusion: the dinosaur based its survival strategy on a maximization of body weight and size, while the butterfly responded flexibly when faced with drastic changes in environmental conditions. This takes the author to the core issue of the book: the basic leadership failures that typify present-day society. His diagnosis rings ever truer in the course of recent events: leadership failures are symptoms of a deep-seated illness — a spiritual crisis. Our greedy society has forgotten how to adapt as it attempts to survive in the sign of the dinosaur. Guntern shows us how to learn from the butterfly and succeed in abandoning the dino-strategy of maximizing single variables. There is no question that wanting to be bigger, faster, richer, more ruthless, and more powerful, with no thought of the consequences, is mindless and dangerous — a perfect prescription for doom.

In My Ever After - Robert Geis - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In My Ever After - Robert Geis - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In My Ever After is not a mass media style "general readership" book on immortality; rather, it is an argument against a current school —- neurophilosophy''s virtual equation of consciousness and the world. Without exposing the equation''s weaknesses, the question of immortality, Geis argues, is moot. Part I identifies many epistemic and scientific grounds for a real world outside consciousness and self-refutational flaws in quantum physics. It employs the phenomenological method to situate "consciousness" and "other" in their relations. Part II sets forth why consciousness cannot be electrical in origin, and then how partibility and subjectivity, in tandem with the power of conceptualization, evince reasons for accepting immortal consciousness as a condition of all human awareness. A discussion of why pharmacologic explanations for the OBE and NDE are wanting, plus neurologic arguments for memory''s non-localizability, and how animal sentience adds to philosophic conviction coordinate with Scripture on animal existence beyond the grave, concludes the argument.

On the Horns of a Dilemma - Taras Hunczak - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

On the Horns of a Dilemma - Taras Hunczak - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Young Ukrainians in World War II found themselves in a no-win situation: aware of the Soviet genocide of Ukrainians during 1932-33, they opted to serve in the German army without wanting to serve the German political objectives. On the Horns of a Dilemma describes the Division as a front-line formation that participated only in military operations against the Soviet Army and against communism or communist-supported partisans in Slovakia and Yugoslavia. Halychyna''s military fortunes from its formation in April 1943 to its surrender to the British in May 1945 will captivate journalists, intellectuals, as well as relatives of the Division members.

A Small Book of Essays on Peacemaking Criminology - Louis J Gesualdi - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

A Small Book of Essays on Peacemaking Criminology - Louis J Gesualdi - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In this concise and valuable collection of essays, Louis J. Gesualdi provides readers with an understanding of peacemaking criminology. Peacemaking criminology is a humane, nonviolent, and scientific approach in its treatment of crime and the offender. It looks at crime as just one of the many types of suffering that exemplify human life. Efforts to put a stop to such suffering—according to peacemaking criminologists—should take into account a main rebuilding of America’s social institutions, such as the economic system, the criminal justice system, and the health care system so that they no longer create suffering. The United States as a society pays no notice to prevention, but rather adheres to the belief of imprisonment and punishment. The twelve essays in this book focus on how peacemaking criminology aids in the prevention of crime, the rehabilitation of offenders, and involves the core principles of social justice and human rights.
