Download or read book An Inkling Hope written by Erin A. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inkling hope is an engaging collection of poems inspired by everything from stargazing and backpacking to contemplations existential and interpersonal. Rich in imagery, imagination and metaphor, these poems punctuate defining moments from a 12-year exploration of language, perception and life. Scattered throughout these pages are the markers and milestones of a long, emotional journey, expressed in ways sometimes abstract, sometimes symbolic, sometimes concrete—but always visual. Not merely emotional, but spiritual—in the animistic sense—for Erin sees all things as possessed of spirit, be it insect or mammal, rock or tree, ocean or wave, city or plain, planet or star, even emotions and principles themselves. These poems vary in mood, tone, voice and form, but this underlying spiritual perspective—this animism—is woven amongst them all.
Download or read book Hope written by Mary Zournazi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is hope to be found amid the ethical and political dilemmas of modern life? Writer and philosopher Mary Zournazi brought her questions to some of the most thoughtful intellectuals at work today. She discusses joyful revolt with Julia Kristeva, the idea of the rest of the world with Gayatri Spivak, the art of living with Michel Serres, the carnival of the senses with Michael Taussig, the relation of hope to passion and to politics with Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau. A dozen stimulating minds weigh in with their visions of a better social and political order. The result is a collaboration - of writing, of thinking, and of politics - that demonstrates more clearly than any single-authored project could how ideas encountering one another can produce the vision needed for social change.
Book Synopsis An Unpromising Hope by : Thomas R. Gaulke
Download or read book An Unpromising Hope written by Thomas R. Gaulke and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in a theopoetic key, this book challenges Christian reliance on the motif of promise, especially where promise is regarded as a prerequisite for the experience of hope. It pursues instead an unpromising hope available to the agnostic or belief-fluid members and leaders of faith communities. The book rejects any theological judgement about doubt and hopelessness being sinful. It also rejects any hope which is grounded in a sense of Christian supremacy. Chapter 1 focuses on Ernst Bloch’s antifascist concept of utopian surplus, putting Bloch in conversation with queer theorist José Esteban Muñoz and womanist theologian M. Shawn Copeland. Chapter 2 explores the saudadic and theopoetic hope of Rubem Alves. Chapter 3 turns to the womanist theologies of Delores Williams, Emilie Townes, and A. Elaine Brown Crawford. Finally, chapter 4 engages the post-colonial eschatology of Vítor Westhelle, framing hope as nearby in space, rather than nearby in time. Each chapter offers an unpromising hope that may be tapped into by those who wish to affirm belief-fluidity in their own communities, and by those who wish to speak of hope honestly, whether or not, at any given moment, they believe in God or in the promises of a god.

Download or read book Hope written by Dr. Gideon Adjei and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope De Pinto is born into an affluent, famous, and very successful family. Over time, unexpected events cast gloomy shadows over the fame, fortune, and prestige of Hope’s family and the city of Avenice that they founded. Fate places the responsibility on Hope to turn the tide of socio-economic decadence and hopelessness and regain his family’s former glory. Overwhelming events beyond Hope’s control threaten to derail his determined and concerted efforts. Rather than falling into a dismal pit of discouragement, Hope intentionally draws on hope to navigate seemingly insurmountable difficulties. When it appears that triumph has eluded Hope, the virtue of hope itself guides him to see a guiding light at the end of the tunnel. This reawakens the previously dormant potential in Hope to challenge and overcome the complex hurdles that stand between him and the success he desires—because Hope will not be a victim but a victor.

Hope’s greatest desire is to be part of the Elite Front, a group of highly trained soldiers who protect the city, keep order, and carry out the wishes of the Supreme Valor—the ruler of Prosperity Way—but she faces the doubt and derision of those who see only her disability. At the age of twenty-one, Hope’s dream is realized—she is accepted into the Elite Front training program. As she throws herself into her training, her loving adoptive parents try to warn her about the choices she is making and how they may set her on a path of no return. When Hope is ordered to carry out an agonizing duty, she is forced to question her faith in the Elite Front’s mission. To redefine her existence, however, she must first face the consequences of her actions and confront the painful truth of her past.

Book Synopsis Valid Values by : Claudia Mariéle Wulf
Download or read book Valid Values written by Claudia Mariéle Wulf and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a challenge to talk about values and a provocation to call them "valid". But it is necessary when human dignity is at stake. Freedom, love, truth and life determine and protect this dignity. The highest value is life; when it is threatened, one loses the experience of dignity. Mere autonomy going beyond value-oriented freedom can threaten life, physically and psychologically. If we do not respect our livelihoods, we threaten them. Genuine love of one's neighbour prevents tolerance from turning into populist, intolerant ideologies. Dignity as the standard for our coexistence gives rise to hope. Therefore, this book invites us to think, feel and act responsibly for a life ‘in fullness’ (John 10:10).

Book Synopsis Psychoanalysis as a Spiritual Discipline by : Paul Marcus
Download or read book Psychoanalysis as a Spiritual Discipline written by Paul Marcus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great existential psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger famously pointed out to Freud that therapeutic failure could "only be understood as the result of something which could be called a deficiency of spirit." Binswanger was surprised when Freud agreed, asserting, "Yes, spirit is everything." However, spirit and the spiritual realm have largely been dropped from mainstream psychoanalytic theory and practice. This book seeks to help revitalize a culturally aging psychoanalysis that is in conceptual and clinical disarray in the marketplace of ideas and is viewed as a "theory in crisis" no longer regarded as the primary therapy for those who are suffering. The author argues that psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy can be reinvigorated as a discipline if it is animated by the powerfully evocative spiritual, moral, and ethical insights of two dialogical personalist religious philosophers—Martin Buber, a Jew, and Gabriel Marcel, a Catholic—who both initiated a "Copernican revolution" in human thought. In chapters that focus on love, work, faith, suffering, and clinical practice, Paul Marcus shows how the spiritual optic of Buber and Marcel can help revive and refresh psychoanalysis, and bring it back into the light by communicating its inherent vitality, power, and relevance to the mental health community and to those who seek psychoanalytic treatment.
