Download or read book One and Many written by Jiayan Zhang and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the world one or many? Ji Zhang revisits this ancient philosophical question from the modern perspective of comparative studies.

Zhang not only captures the tension between rational Platonism and abstruse Daoism, but also creates a bridge between the two.
Book Synopsis The One in the Many by : Joseph A. Bracken
Download or read book The One in the Many written by Joseph A. Bracken and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical notions of truth and objectivity have steadily eroded in the face of postmodernism. Meeting this challenge head-on, Joseph Bracken here reconstructs the metaphysical tradition of the West on solid new foundations. Drawing on the thought of Alfred North Whitehead, Ervin Laszlo, and J]rgen Habermas, Bracken presents a new philosophical perspective that roots the relationship between God and the world in community. Bracken first answers objections to the possibility of developing a new metaphysics in our postmodern age. He then lays out the "vertical" and "horizontal" dimensions of his new metaphysical scheme, a constructive perspective that results in a consciously communitarian understanding of the God-world relationship. The uniqueness of Bracken's position is its advocacy of a strictly "social ontology" in which the classical relationship of the One and the Many is reversed -- not the transcendence of the One over the Many but its emergence out of the Many in dynamic relationship.

Book Synopsis Mencian Hermeneutics by : Chun-chieh Huang
Download or read book Mencian Hermeneutics written by Chun-chieh Huang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered second only to Confucius in the history of Chinese thought, Mencius (371?-289 b.c.), was a moral philosopher whose arguments, while pragmatically rooted in the political and social conditions of his time, go beyond particular situations to probe their origins and speculate on their larger implications. His writings constitute a living tradition in China and the world at large. Sinological studies of Mencius have long emphasized philological and archaeological research, situating the texts mainly in Chinese history. Critical appraisal of the texts lends itself to Western traditions of interpretation.

Download or read book Acts written by Francis Martin and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Acts of the Apostles—or more in keeping with the author's intent, the Acts of the Ascended Lord—is part two of Luke's story of "all that Jesus began to do and teach." In it he recounts the expansion of the church as its witness spread from Jerusalem to all of Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. While at least forty early church authors commented on Acts, the works of only three survive in their entirety—John Chrysostom's Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles, Bede the Venerable's Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles and a long Latin epic poem by Arator. In this Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume, substantial selections from the first two of these appear with occasional excerpts from Arator alongside many excerpts from the fragments preserved in J. A. Cramer's Catena in Acta SS. Apostolorum. Among the latter we find selections from Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Ephrem the Syrian, Didymus the Blind, Athanasius, Jerome, John Cassian, Augustine, Ambrose, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Theodoret of Cyr, Origen, Cyril of Jerusalem, Cyril of Alexandria, Cassiodorus, and Hilary of Poitiers, some of which are here translated into English for the first time. As readers, we find these early authors transmit life to us because their faith brought them into living and experiential contact with the realities spoken of in the sacred text.
Book Synopsis Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by : Randy Frazee
Download or read book Think, Act, Be Like Jesus written by Randy Frazee and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible teaches that the goal of the Christian life is to become like Jesus—for our own personal growth and for the sake of others. Every believer needs to ask three big questions: What do I believe? What should I do? And who am I becoming? In Think, Act, Be Like Jesus, bestselling author and pastor Randy Frazee helps readers grasp the vision of the Christian life and get started on the journey of discipleship. After unfolding the revolutionary dream of Jesus and showing how our lives fit into the big picture of what God is doing in the world, Frazee walks readers through thirty short chapters exploring the ten core beliefs, ten core practices, and ten core virtues that help disciples to think, act, and be more like Jesus Christ. This compelling new book can be used in conjunction with the 30-week all-church Believe campaign or read separately as an individual study. Either way, readers will deepen their understanding of what it means to not just know the Story of God, but to live it.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Process Philosophy and Organization Studies by : Jenny Helin
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Process Philosophy and Organization Studies written by Jenny Helin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process approaches to organization studies focus on flow, activities, and evolution, understanding organizations and organizing as processes in the making. They stand in contrast to positivist approaches that see organizations and phenomena as fixed, static, and measurable. Process approaches draw on a range of ideas and philosophies. The Handbook examines 34 philosophers and social theorists, both those commonly linked to process thinking, such as Whitehead, Bergson and James, and those that are not as often addressed from a process perspective such as Dilthey and Tarde. Each chapter addresses the background and context of this thinker, their work (with a focus on the processual elements), and the potential contribution to organization and management research. For students and scholars in the field of Organization Studies this book is an entry point into the work of philosophical thinkers and social theorists for whom the world is far from being a solid place.
Book Synopsis A Theory of Art by : Stephen David Ross
Download or read book A Theory of Art written by Stephen David Ross and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1982-06-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The richness of art is manifested in contrast: contrast with other works of art, other features of human experience, other times and places, and other forms of judgment and understanding. The possibilities of contrast are inexhaustible. Every being shares this inexhaustibility of openness to novel possibilities, although inexhaustibility is most fully realized in art. The general theory of art and aesthetic value developed in this book is based on the notions of inexhaustibility and contrast and has important forebears in Kant, Coleridge, and Whitehead. The theory allows art to be located relative to otheR spheres of judgment—science, action, and philosophy. The theory allows a new perspective on interpretation and criticism. Ross presents and defines a new synthetic form of understanding works of art that offers an alternative to the skepticism that haunts so many theories of interpretation.
