Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'I think we should have done with the idea of God as Cause...It could be that the God whose death Nietzsche truthfully announced was the God of the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition, god the prime mover,' affirms Gabriel Marcel in Problematic Man, and so illustrates that the 'Death of God' theology is neither a novel nor an exclusively Protestant phenomenon. Rather it is a human phenomenon stemming from modern man's new understanding of himself and conquest of the universe. Problematic Man antedates the American 'God is dead' fad by many years and is therefore all the more valuable in putting the latter into its larger historical and cultural context. Similarly, whereas most recent writings on this theme have been of a purely negative character, devoted more to discussing God's absense than to searching out new modes of his presence, this book seeks to define precisely the mode of experience modern man has of God. In attempting to make God once more relevant to man, Marcel first analyzes the nature of the new man who has been born of the past hundred years of conscious evolution and technological progress, and, second, sketches some of the thinkers--from every era--who have best understood or exemplified 'problematic man.' As Leslie Dewart notes in his illuminating introduction: 'Marcel's findings are expressed in passages which may be counted among the most lucid and eloquent of his distinguished philosophical career...His conclusions are highly Teilhardian. They are unquestionably relevant to the post-conciliar situation of the Church."--front and back flaps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of 'hope' has received significant attention in the political sphere recently. But is hope just wishful thinking, or can it be something more than a political catch-phrase? This book argues that hope can be understood existentially, or on the basis of what it means to be human. Under this conception of hope, given to us by Gabriel Marcel, hope is not optimism, but the creation of ways for us to flourish. War, poverty and an absolute reliance on technology are real-life evils that can suffocate hope. Marcel's thought provides a way to overcome these negative experiences. An ethics of hope can function as an alternative to isolation, dread, and anguish offered by most existentialists. This book presents Marcel's existentialism as a convincing, relevant moral theory; founded on the creation of hope, interwoven with the individual's response to the death of God. Jill Hernandez argues that today's reader of Marcel can resonate with his belief that the experience of pain can be transcended through a philosophy of hope and an escape from materialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With insights into the thought of Gabriel Marcel, Tragic Humanity and Hope recognizes that in our age scientific knowing is becoming a dominant form of knowledge. The leadership, influence, growth, and gravitational center of human existence depend, it seems, on scientific knowledge. As a result, we live in an information age that prizes production and immediate satisfaction but devalues the cultivation of wisdom. We risk diminishing the significance of sapiential knowing to deal with the immensely complex and intricate domains of human relationality. Furthermore, inquiry into moral discernment methods expands, becoming more diverse; yet, scholarly conversations that engage the vital exigencies as founding moral sensibility seem noticeably insufficient. Tragic Humanity and Hope strives to overcome this lack. But Ojara also seeks ethical groundings that exceed the language of pragmatic utility and aesthetic preference. Foundations of morality cannot exclude questions of the common good and shared moral obligations that free people to reach out to one another with hopes and memories that endow life with shared meaning. Through continuity and cohesion that the interlacing of scientific, sapiential, and moral knowing bring, life becomes a marvelous expression of light, joy, and fervor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This journal is a few hundred pages of unpopular opinion, I wrote this ball of rage between 2014-2016 and I planned to give to my gender studies professor after I took her class. When I left her class I noticed that there's a lot of misleading information about people that disagree with feminists and feminism, and this book will help demystify some of those notions. I may have written this book for her but I believe it can help others as well. The 1st group of people that this book will help are people that don't like feminists and feminism you'll agree with almost everything I have to say, trust me you're not alone. This book is full of red pills you're going to love it. The 2nd group of people are people that are on the fence about feminists. Yeah, feminists may have told you the dictionary definition of feminism, and you might have heard some things about the feminist movement but you're still not quite sure what to make of them. I think you will gain the most from what I went through. I will show you the tactics some feminists use to get what they want. These are all things you should know before you engage with any feminist. The 3rd group of people are the people that don't understand why so many people have such hard opinions on feminism and feminists. Hopefully this book will help you understand were the first group of people are coming from. I use jokes, satire and personal experiences to bring levity to this hot topic issue. I don't want to tell you what to think. I want to show you what I went through so you can make up your own mind, and even if you disagree with me I hope you enjoy the ride. Now onto the 4th group, these are the feminists that are vexed and can't figure out why so many people dislike feminism and why feminists can't crack 18 percent of the population. I think you will benefit the most from what I have to say. I'm not going to berate you or attack you I'm just going to make my claims on why I disagree with your dogmatic ideology and hopefully you can respect that. I really want you to understand where I'm coming from and maybe we can build a bridge from there. Now on to the big mama of them all the 5th group, if you are the type of feminist that believes everything is sexist and everything is racist and every man is a misogynist. Put this book down, you are going to have a bad time. I deconstruct almost everything you believe in with ruthless and logical precision and I know for a fact that this book is going to trigger you into oblivion. Hell, you might even do something crazy, like set this book on fire and I don't want to see my book set a blaze. So save your money save your time and continue to smash the patriarchy. But to the other 4 out of 5 of you crack open a beer or pour a glass of wine and enjoy my descent into madness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Heidegger cited him as "the most potent philosophical power ... in all of contemporary philosophy." Ortega y Gasset called him "the first man of genius, the Adam of the new Paradise." Writing at a crucial time in intellectual history, his influence has extended to persons as diverse as Dietrich von Hildebrand, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Karol Wojtyla, Jurgen Habermas, Ernst Bloch, and members of the generation of thinkers that developed in the German universities during the Weimar years. Despite this far-reaching impact, the social theory and philosophy of Max Scheler have never been examined for the significance of their political thought. This book opens the possibility of deriving a contemporary political theory from Scheler's philosophy and social theory, based on his understanding of the person, the community, and the significant new directions these elements suggest. Standing at some distance from modern liberalism, conservatism, and Marxism, both in their bourgeois and Enlightenment varieties, Scheler's personalism has its roots in the rich admixture of life philosophy and phenomenology that gave rise to Martin Heidegger's early philosophy. It is a philosophical anthropology founded on Scheler's own realist phenomenology, sociology of knowledge, and non-formal ethics. The book considers Scheler's many works and includes translations and reviews of unpublished materials. It includes an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary name sources.

Book excerpt: This is Dr. Wylies sixth book in a series. This well-researched book invites the reader to seek out Jesus Christ and defy the devil of taking possession of another poor soul (lost soul). Published just a few years ago, Dr. Wylie published Only One God: Who Is He? The Miracles of Christ, and Know Your Enemy: The Devil, The Ministers Friend. A Believing Behaving Faith, and finally, his most recent publication you now hold in hand, Its Time for a Change! This publication is an eye-opening experience that conveys a simple message: accept Christ, confess your sins, repent, or risk eternal damnation and unthinkable suffering. As in Dr. Wylies previous publications, once again he brings to life new heights of enthusiasm and inspiration as we learn to cleanse ourselves of sin. In Reverend Dr. Wylies first book, our spirits were uplifted by the memories of Dr. Wylies remarkable mother, Missionary Charlye Mae Wylie, and we were moved by her uncanny strength, unswerving commitment, and bountiful love for the Holy Spirit. Charlye Maes beautiful poem God Is with Me from Dr. Wylies first book is included as part of the opening passages of this book. We believe that you will agree that Charlye Maes wonderful poem has a rightful place in this book you now hold in your hands. Through her poem, Charlye Mae so aptly conveys the same message that her son conveys in this book: believe In Jesus Our Savior so that you may have eternal life. We trust you will enjoy Reverend Dr. Wylies sixth inspirational book. Journey along as Dr. Wylie discusses the problems of our world and what each of us can do to save his or her soul. Yearn for an eternal life in Heaven by pondering Dr. Wylies thought-provoking passages and scripture references. They will serve to awaken your innermost thoughts, invoke prayer, and further your love for God and his only begotten Son. Dr. Wylie states: Its Time: For A Change! Indeed it is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Abraham Lincoln a racist, as some critics would have us believe? Was he the father of big government, as some others maintain? Was the sixteenth president a traitor to the cause of free society and constitutional government? Are the political principles that guided him relevant today? In this provocative and timely book, Thomas L. Krannawitter sets out to defend the man many consider to be our greatest president from critics on both the left and the right. For although public opinion polls tend to rank Lincoln among the country's most venerated presidents, he is also, paradoxically, the president who is least understood. While Lincoln's name is frequently invoked in contemporary American politics, few Americans understand or agree with the moral and political principles for which Lincoln gave his last full measure of devotion. Many influential authors view Lincoln as an antiquated monument, a man of his age who knew only nineteenth-century prejudices and lacked twenty-first-century enlightenment. Other writers denounce Lincoln as a tyrant who trampled upon the Constitution and states' rights, and thereby inaugurated big government and the kind of politics feared by the Founding Fathers. Krannawitter argues that both views spring from a misunderstanding of Lincoln. Today, at precisely the moment when America is most in need of his moral and political understanding, we are more removed from Lincoln's thought than ever before. Vindicating Lincoln reintroduces us to Lincoln the statesman, the man who defended our greatest ideals of freedom and equality at the darkest moment in American history. Krannawitter shows us why it is in our interest not only to learn about Abraham Lincoln, but to learn from him—to understand that Lincoln's guiding principles were true not only for his time, but that they remain true for ours as well. On the eve of the bicentennial of his birth in 2009, Lincoln can offer moral and political guidance to us all.

Book excerpt: This book explores the symbiotic relationship between philosophy and culture. Every philosophy emerges as a reaction to, or as justification for a particular culture and it is for this reason that philosophy may differ from one culture to another. It argues that philosophy is an essential part of every culture. Philosophy is the means by which every culture provides itself with justification for its values, beliefs and worldview and also serves as a catalyst for progress. Philosophy critically questions and confronts established beliefs, customs, practices, and institutions of a society. As reflective critical thinking, philosophy is linked to a way of life; a form of enquiry intended to guide behaviour; a form of thinking that sharpens and broadens our intellectual horizon, scrutinizes our assumptions, and clarifies the beliefs and values by which we live. Philosophy helps to liberate the individual from the imprisonment of ignorance, prejudice, superstition, narrow-mindedness, and the despotism of custom. Culture constitutes the raw data, the laboratory from which philosophers do their analytic experimentation. Culture is considered as philosophy of the first order activity. The book maintains that any genuine global philosophy must include philosophical traditions from all cultures and regions of the world, as it is by seeking alternative philosophical answers to some of the thorniest problems facing humanity that we are most likely to find more lasting solutions to some global problems. In this commitment to a universal humanity, we cannot afford to depend on solutions from a single culture or from the most influential cultures.

Book excerpt: In the gospel of Saint Matthew, Jesus is “Emmanuel,” God-with-us, or, as Jesus himself puts it, he is “I-Desire,” “Coming-I-Will-Heal,” and “I-Am-with-You-Always.” The brief commentaries collected here, initially presented by Cistercian abbot Mark A. Scott in a series of chapter talks to his monastic community, will welcome the reader into an intimate encounter with the love of Jesus, as the evangelist Matthew presents him in chapters four through nine of his gospel. These reflections also weave insights from the Rule of Benedict along with reflections on monastic life offering to all ecclesial communities and individual Christians rich nourishment for their loving Jesus in return.

The book focuses on the explicit or implicit theological ideas and aims that have determined its reception. The analysis includes a review of Freud's theories as suggestions for reconfigurations of psychoanalysis are made in order to further theorize on concepts or fields of attention that are important in theology and religious studies. The aim of this double critical review is to establish what the theoretical potential of Freud's psychoanalysis might be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every discipline, including theology, requires a synthetic overview of its acquisitions and open questions, a kind of "topography" to guide the new student and refresh the gaze of specialists. In his Synthèse dogmatique, Fr. Jean-Hervé Nicolas, OP (1910-2001) presents just such a map of Thomistic theology, focusing on the central topics of Dogmatic Theology: The One and Triune God, Christology, Mariology, Ecclesiology, the Sacraments, and the Last Things. Drawing on decades of research and teaching, Fr. Nicolas synthetically presents these topics from a faithfully Thomistic perspective. While broadly and genially engaging the theological literature of the 20th century, he nonetheless remains deeply indebted to the Thomistic school that would have formed him in his youth as a theologian. This provides the reader with an unparalleled theological vision, masterfully bringing forth, at once, what is new and what is classical. Catholic Theology: A Dogmatic Synthesis will be published in English as a multi-volume work. In this volume, Fr. Nicolas discusses the mysteries of faith directly connected with the Redemptive Incarnation: the formation of orthodox Christological dogma in the course of the first centuries of the Church; the nature of the Hypostatic Union; the latter's effects in Christ's holiness, knowledge, and incarnate activity; the mariological mysteries connected to the divine maternity; the soteriological meaning of Christ's vicarious satisfaction; and the eschatological return of Christ in Glory. Serving as a professor for decades, including at the University of Fribourg, Fr. Nicolas was at once a profound scholar and a masterful pedagogue. Gathering the work of a lifetime into a single pedagogical narrative, Fr. Nicolas's Catholic Theology: A Dogmatic Synthesis provides a resource for students and scholars alike. In view of the hyper-specialization of theology today, this series of volumes provides readers with a synthetic and sapiential overview of the fundamentals of dogmatic theology from a robust and profound Thomistic perspective.
