Book Synopsis Why Odysseus Came Home as a Stranger and Other Puzzling Moments in the Life of Buddha, Socrates, Jesus, Abraham, and other Great Individuals by : Henry Abramovitch
Download or read book Why Odysseus Came Home as a Stranger and Other Puzzling Moments in the Life of Buddha, Socrates, Jesus, Abraham, and other Great Individuals written by Henry Abramovitch and published by Chiron Publications. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Henry Abramovitch comes from a culture that encourages people to ask why. As a Jungian analyst, he also values questions. In reading the life stories of "Great Individuals," he often found himself asking the question, "Why?" Why did Arjuna, greatest general of his age refuse to fight? Why did Socrates remember his debt to Ascalapius, the god of healing, only in his last breath? Why did Jesus, the prophet of love, curse an innocent fig tree? Why did Odysseus come home as a stranger? The short essays in this book do not try to answer these questions, but they do provide a response, enriched by Jewish tradition and Jungian psychology.

Book Synopsis Reflections on Jesus and Socrates by : Paul W. Gooch
Download or read book Reflections on Jesus and Socrates written by Paul W. Gooch and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living more than four centuries apart in very different cultures, Jesus and Socrates wrote nothing themselves, but they inspired their followers to set down words that continue to shape Western consciousness. In this deeply personal and provocative meditation, Paul Gooch reflects on enduring themes that arise from the lives of these two pivotal figures: death and witness, silence as the limit of language, prayer, obedience, and love. Focusing on the Jesus of the Gospels and the Socrates of Plato's dialogues, Gooch does not debate the historical realities of either figure, but seeks to understand their fundamental commitments to philosophy and to God, drawing parallels and contrasts that invite deeper reflection upon our own lives and experiences. Throughout this book, Gooch tells and retells the stories of Socrates and Jesus as he examines perennial human issues: why would anyone willingly die? To what do these two martyrlike deaths bear witness? What are the limits of words in explanation and defense? Why was Jesus silent during his trial? Why did Socrates' most powerful apologia fail? What words, if any, work in prayer? Do words work against the fear of death? Out of this philosophical and religious questioning, Reflections on Jesus and Socrates throws new light on these two compelling figures and on the continuing meanings of their stories for us today.
Book Synopsis Why Socrates Died by : Robin Waterfield
Download or read book Why Socrates Died written by Robin Waterfield and published by Emblem Editions. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revisionist account of the most famous trial and execution in Western civilization — one with great resonance for modern society In the spring of 399 BCE, the elderly philosopher Socrates stood trial in his native Athens. The court was packed, and after being found guilty by his peers, Socrates died by drinking a cup of poison hemlock, his execution a defining moment in ancient civilization. Yet time has transmuted the facts into a fable. Aware of these myths, Robin Waterfield has examined the actual Greek sources, presenting a new Socrates, not an atheist or guru of a weird sect, but a deeply moral thinker, whose convictions stood in stark relief to those of his former disciple, Alcibiades, the hawkish and self-serving military leader. Refusing to surrender his beliefs even in the face of death, Socrates, as Waterfield reveals, was determined to save a morally decayed country that was tearing itself apart. Why Socrates Died is then not only a powerful revisionist book, but a work whose insights translate clearly from ancient Athens to the present day.
Book Synopsis Doubt: A History by : Jennifer Hecht
Download or read book Doubt: A History written by Jennifer Hecht and published by HarperOne. This book was released on 2004-09-07 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of grand sweeping histories such as From Dawn To Decadence, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and A History of God, Hecht champions doubt and questioning as one of the great and noble, if unheralded, intellectual traditions that distinguish the Western mind especially-from Socrates to Galileo and Darwin to Wittgenstein and Hawking. This is an account of the world's greatest ‘intellectual virtuosos,' who are also humanity's greatest doubters and disbelievers, from the ancient Greek philosophers, Jesus, and the Eastern religions, to modern secular equivalents Marx, Freud and Darwin—and their attempts to reconcile the seeming meaninglessness of the universe with the human need for meaning, This remarkable book ranges from the early Greeks, Hebrew figures such as Job and Ecclesiastes, Eastern critical wisdom, Roman stoicism, Jesus as a man of doubt, Gnosticism and Christian mystics, medieval Islamic, Jewish and Christian skeptics, secularism, the rise of science, modern and contemporary critical thinkers such as Schopenhauer, Darwin, Marx, Freud, Nietzsche, the existentialists.
Book Synopsis The Great Transformation by : Karen Armstrong
Download or read book The Great Transformation written by Karen Armstrong and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the world’s leading writers on religion and the highly acclaimed author of the bestselling A History of God, The Battle for God and The Spiral Staircase, comes a major new work: a chronicle of one of the most important intellectual revolutions in world history and its relevance to our own time. In one astonishing, short period – the ninth century BCE – the peoples of four distinct regions of the civilized world created the religious and philosophical traditions that have continued to nourish humanity into the present day: Confucianism and Daoism in China; Hinduism and Buddhism in India; monotheism in Israel; and philosophical rationalism in Greece. Historians call this the Axial Age because of its central importance to humanity’s spiritual development. Now, Karen Armstrong traces the rise and development of this transformative moment in history, examining the brilliant contributions to these traditions made by such figures as the Buddha, Socrates, Confucius and Ezekiel. Armstrong makes clear that despite some differences of emphasis, there was remarkable consensus among these religions and philosophies: each insisted on the primacy of compassion over hatred and violence. She illuminates what this “family” resemblance reveals about the religious impulse and quest of humankind. And she goes beyond spiritual archaeology, delving into the ways in which these Axial Age beliefs can present an instructive and thought-provoking challenge to the ways we think about and practice religion today. A revelation of humankind’s early shared imperatives, yearnings and inspired solutions – as salutary as it is fascinating. Excerpt from The Great Transformation: In our global world, we can no longer afford a parochial or exclusive vision. We must learn to live and behave as though people in remote parts of the globe were as important as ourselves. The sages of the Axial Age did not create their compassionate ethic in idyllic circumstances. Each tradition developed in societies like our own that were torn apart by violence and warfare as never before; indeed, the first catalyst of religious change was usually a visceral rejection of the aggression that the sages witnessed all around them. . . . All the great traditions that were created at this time are in agreement about the supreme importance of charity and benevolence, and this tells us something important about our humanity.

Book Synopsis Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Socrates by : Hadar Shapir
Download or read book Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Socrates written by Hadar Shapir and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the similarities of all the world's great religions? This book teaches the great religions' similarities. It teaches a way of life that is taught by the Holy Bible, the Noble Qur'an, and the sacred scriptures of Buddhism and other religions which leads you to happiness, success, peace, love, and joy in life. It teaches the similarities of the Great Religions and their founders showing how to become happy and successful through the Golden Rule, through choosing good deeds instead of bad ones, loving others, being humble instead of arrogant, the secret of happiness, following your passion (your calling / your mission / your life's purpose), how to become healthy through prayer, and other teachings of the great religions' founders - such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, and Socrates. This book teaches the way of life of living with compassion, kindness, and love for all others. Here's a book excerpt: The Golden Rule The Golden Rule is the foundation of the message of the great religions. The Golden Rule is found in every major religion that exists in the world. It is one of the foundations of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" - or "Treat others the way you want to be treated". Later in this book, I will explain why this is the formula for human happiness and success. In addition to the Golden Rule, there is also the 'Silver Rule' which states the Golden Rule in the negative: "Do not do unto others what you don't want to have done unto you." Here is the Golden Rule (and the Silver Rule) as they appear in all the world's major religions: Do unto others as you would have them do to you. - Christianity Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful. - Buddhism Harm no other beings. They are just your brothers and sisters. - Buddhism Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain and your neighbor's loss as your own loss. - Taoism What is hateful to you, do not do unto your fellow man. That is the entire law; all the rest is commentary. - Judaism "A man should wander about treating all creatures in the world as he himself would be treated." -- Jainism "Men gifted with intelligence and purified souls should always treat others as they themselves wish to be treated." -- Hindu Mahabharata Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness: Do not do unto others what you would not want to have done unto you. - Confucianism One should never do wrong in return, nor mistreat any man, no matter how one has been mistreated by him. -- Socrates The seven-word expression, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself", appears seven times in the Bible. That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto another whatsoever is not good for itself. -- Zoroastrianism If your eyes be inclined to justice, choose for your neighbor that which you would choose for yourself. - Baha'i Faith Do good to others as you would like good to be done to you. - Islam - Ali ibn Abi Talib (4th Caliph in Sunni Islam, and 1st Imam in Shia Islam) "Philosophers have been speculating on the rules of human relationships for thousands of years, and out of all that speculation, there has evolved only one important precept. It is not new. It is as old as history. Zoroaster taught it to his followers in Persia twenty-five hundred years ago. Confucius preached it in China twenty-four centuries ago. Lao-Tsu, the founder of Taoism, taught it to his disciples in the Valley of the Han. Buddha preached it on the bank of the Holy Ganges five hundred years before Christ. The sacred books of Hinduism taught it a thousand years before that. Jesus taught it among the stony hills of Judea nineteen centuries ago. He summed it up in one thought- probably the most important rule in the world: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.""
