Book excerpt: A deeply thoughtful, deeply irreverent look at the mythology of play, Gods and Games ties together Joseph Campbell's approach to myth and religion with Johan Huizinga's view of our species as Homo ludens — "Man the Game-player" — which suggests that play is a central aspect of the human spirit and human culture. "A comprehensive and clear review.... loaded with quotations both pertinent and entertaining that may be eye-openers both to traditional religionists and readers who may never have thought about play in a philosophical or religious sense." —Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries Christians have gathered for worship and for rest on Sunday. But does that ancient practice still matter? Still deeply engrained in both the Christian and secular calendar, nonetheless, what Sunday is and why it matters is no longer clear. Why Sunday Matters explores the forgotten reasons why Sunday is essential to Christian life. It also uncovers some of the contemporary obstacles keeping people from living Sunday faithfully. From youth sports to our neglect of the poor to our addiction to technology, Why Sunday Matters takes a wide-ranging look at the importance of the Lord’s Day and why it’s urgent we recover the Christian practice of Sunday.

Download or read book Praying to a French God written by Kenneth Jason Wardley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a phenomenologist Lacoste is concerned with investigating the human aptitude for experience; as a theologian Lacoste is interested in humanity’s potential for a relationship with the divine, what he terms the ’liturgical relationship’. Beginning from the proposition that prayer is a theme that occurs throughout Lacoste’s writing, and using this proposition as a heuristic through which to view, interpret and critique his thought, this book examines Lacoste’s place amid both the recent ’theological turn’ in French thought and the post-war emergence of la nouvelle théologie. Drawing upon unpublished and out of print material previously only available in French, Romanian or German, the book will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, phenomenology and theology.

Download or read book Exorcising Philosophical Modernity written by Philip John Paul Gonzales and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should Christian discourse look like after philosophical modernity? In one manner or another the essays in this volume seek to confront and intellectually exorcise the prevailing elements of philosophical modernity, which are inherently transgressive disfigurations and refigurations of the Christian story of creation, sin, and redemption. To enact these various forms and styles of Christian intellectual exorcism the essays in this volume make appeal to, and converse with, the magisterial corpus of Cyril O’Regan. The themes of the essays center around the gnostic return in modernity, apocalyptic theology, and the question of the bounds and borders of Christian orthodoxy. Along the way diverse figures are treated such as: Hegel, Shakespeare, von Balthasar, Przywara, Ricouer, Deleuze, Merleau-Ponty, and Kristeva. Exorcising Philosophical Modernity: Cyril O’Regan and Christian Discourse after Modernity is a veritable feast of post-modern Christian thought.

Download or read book Yes, God Really Is Up There! written by Egils Lapainis and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yes, God Really Is 'Up There ' provides answers for many of life's questions. It has been written by a man whose earliest childhood memory is of shivering in the winter cold while trying to sleep on a bale of hay in a drafty barn somewhere in war-torn (WWII) Europe. His Mother was doing her best to comfort him, all the while listening to the bombers roaring over-head, and wondering what had happened to her husband, the boy's Father. It later came to light that he had been captured by Russian soldiers, and was bound for the labor camps of Siberia. How the Father escaped, found his wife and child, and once reunited, they came to the United States, is a story for another day. Suffice it to say that, bringing only their clothes and old pots and pans, upon arrival they began to live the American Dream. (For more, read About The Author at the end of the book.) The American Dream abounds with opportunities and obstacles for the native-born and immigrant alike; the author has been no exception - he encountered both. Amidst the victories and defeats, he came to realize that God Almighty really was and is up there, ever vigilant and always looking out for him. That very God can do the same for you. If you're not sure that God really is up there, or you are going through tough times, you need to read this book.

Download or read book A History of Children's Play and Play Environments written by Joe L. Frost and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-02 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children’s play throughout history has been free, spontaneous, and intertwined with work, set in the playgrounds of the fields, streams, and barnyards. Children in cities enjoyed similar forms of play but their playgrounds were the vacant lands and parks. Today, children have become increasingly inactive, abandoning traditional outdoor play for sedentary, indoor cyber play and poor diets. The consequences of play deprivation, the elimination and diminution of recess, and the abandonment of outdoor play are fundamental issues in a growing crisis that threatens the health, development, and welfare of children. This valuable book traces the history of children’s play and play environments from their roots in ancient Greece and Rome to the present time in the high stakes testing environment. Through this exploration, scholar Dr. Joe Frost shows how this history informs where we are today and why we need to re-establish play as a priority. Ultimately, the author proposes active solutions to play deprivation. This book is a must-read for scholars, researchers, and students in the fields of early childhood education and child development.

Download or read book A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education written by Catherine Homan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education: The Play of the In-Between explores the ways in which both play and poetry orient us toward what surpasses us. Catherine Homan develops an original account of poetic education that builds on Friedrich Hölderlin’s idea of poetry as a teacher of humanity. Whereas aesthetic education emphasizes judgments of taste and rational autonomy, poetic education foregrounds self-formation and openness to the other. Critically engaging the works of Eugen Fink, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Paul Celan, this book argues that poetry and play call for a particular stance in the world and with others. Open toward the infinite while simultaneously reaching toward its own finitude, the poetic work addresses us and invites our response. Poetry reveals the human condition as “in-between” and dialogical, even at the limits of language. Although many philosophers mistakenly view play as frivolous, Homan takes play seriously. Play--spontaneous and creative--resists mastery and instead requires an active attunement to the to-and-fro movement of the world, of others, and ourselves. A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education demonstrates that poetic education, as learning to listen, provides vital resources for responding to alterity in meaningful ways that resist totalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugen Fink's deep engagement with the phenomenon of play saw him transcend his two towering mentors, Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, to become a crucial figure in early 20th-century phenomenology. The Phenomenology of Play draws on Fink's concept of play to build a picture of his philosophy, from its foundations to its applications. The book's three sections focus on the building blocks of Fink's phenomenology of play, how his work maps onto the broader history of philosophy, and finally how his writing can be applied to contexts from education and care to politics and religion. This rich account of Fink's contribution to theories of play demonstrates its immense value and fundamental importance to human existence. Relating Fink's work to that of his contemporaries and predecessors like Husserl, Heidegger, Schiller, Gadamer, Nietzsche and Sartre shows the range and importance of his ideas to modern European thought. The Phenomenology of Play also features newly translated material including notes from conversations between Fink and Heidegger, and Fink's own essay 'Mask and Cothurnus' on ancient theatre – which shed new light on his philosophical enquiries.

Download or read book Playthings of the Gods written by Paul Bondarovski and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You live under a cult. This cult controls your life, and it controls your life to your detriment. If you expect any relief from your situation in the future, you must at the very least become aware of the true nature of your situation. Otherwise you will continue to be "playthings of the gods"... Walter Carnot Vetsch was born in 1947 in Louisiana, with a gift that he himself defines as the "unlearned knowledge." Many of us, over the years, generally acquire a degree of wisdom, which cannot be learned in schools. When we pass away, this knowledge dissolves in the universal consciousness, so, when we're back here in our next incarnation, we usually have to start everything from scratch. This was not the case of Walter. From his earliest years, he knew exactly what "reality" really was, how it worked, and what were the forces that made it work. He knew that this knowledge was true, and the best cofirmation of it was that when, in the end of the 1960s, he decided to expose this knowledge in a book, those same forces violently opposed to it. "All that I write," Walter says, "is based on the material I was able to bring through from before I was born here. This is what triggered the people who look for that sort of stuff, persons with 'unlearned knowledge, ' which could upset a system where knowledge is controlled."
