Book Synopsis Imagining Men by : Thomas Van Nortwick
Download or read book Imagining Men written by Thomas Van Nortwick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-08-30 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring models for masculinity as they appear in major works of Greek literature, this book combines literary, historical, and psychological insights to examine how the ancient Greeks understood the meaning of a man's life. The thoughts and actions of Achilles, Odysseus, Oedipus, and other enduring characters from Greek literature reflect the imperatives that the ancient Greeks saw as governing a man's life as he moved from childhood to adult maturity to old age. Because the Greeks believed that men (as opposed to women) were by nature the proper agents of human civilization within the larger order of the universe, examining how the Greeks thought that a man ought to live his life prompts exploration of the place of human life in a world governed by transcendent forces, nature, fate, and the gods. While focusing on the experience of men in ancient Greece, the discussion also offers an analysis of the society in which they lived, addressing questions still vital in our own time, such as how the members of a society should govern themselves, distribute resources, form relationships with others, weigh the needs of the individual against the larger good of the community, and establish right relations with divine forces beyond their knowledge or control. Suggestions for further reading offer the reader the chance to explore the ideas in the book.

Download or read book Numen, Old Men written by Joseph Gelfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s there have been various movements designed to encourage 'masculine spirituality'. All these movements share a concern that spirituality has become too feminine and that men's experiences of the spiritual are being marginalized. The task of masculine spirituality is to promote 'authentic' masculine characteristics within a spiritual context. Numen, Old Men examines these characteristics to argue that masculine spirituality is thinly veiled patriarchy. The mythopoetic, evangelical, and Catholic men's movements are shown to promote a hetero-patriarchal spirituality by appealing to either combative and oppressive neo-Jungian archetypes or biblical models of man as the leader of the family. Numen, Old Men examines spiritualities that aim to honour and transcend both the masculine and feminine, and offers gay spirituality as an example of masculine spirituality that resists patriarchy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Spiritual Interpretation of Astrology in the Light of Universal Symbolism In New Mansions for New Men, first published in 1938, author Dane Rudhyar presents three styles of unusual and inspiring “meditations on life” in a form which is a blend of poetic imagery and esoteric philosophy. Taking as his themes the progressive unfolding of the individual personality, the harmony of life energies within he complete man, and the awareness of Divinity through the symbolism of light, Rudhyar—by making use of images taken from the common experience of the living man—is able to bring light upon a multitude of subjects long clouded in obscurity and inaccessibility. The student of astrology will discover in this book a new dimension of astrological meaning and challenging reinterpretations of basic symbols. But, to every seeker after wisdom and a method of significant living, this book offers a wealth of information and spiritual insight.

Book Synopsis Refusing to be a Man by : John Stoltenberg
Download or read book Refusing to be a Man written by John Stoltenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original publication in 1989, Refusing to be a Man has been acclaimed as a classic and widely cited in gender studies literature. In 13 eloquent essays, Stoltenberg articulates the first fully argued liberation theory for men that will also liberate women. He argues that male sexual identity is entirely a political and ethical construction whose advantages grow out of injustice. His thesis is, however, ultimately one of hope - that precisely because masculinity is so constructed, it is possible to refuse it, to act against it and to change. A new introduction by the author discusses the roots of his work in the American civil rights and radical feminist movements and distinguishes it from the anti-feminist philosophies underlying the recent tide of reactionary mens movements.
