Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REASON FOR THE BOOK THE CAVE OF KNOWLEDGE As a man that carries the wrong name, I found it necessary to take all my questions to the moral court, in so doing I purge myself of the anger in me. The other reason for the book is this, some people know of the actions of the past, and some do not, and this book is to remind those who have forgotten, and to inform those who did not know, this way, when a judgment is made, it is made on facts. To my mind it is far better to write of my feelings, than to shoot because of my feelings.

No, first, these unlikely heroes must discover they cannot be fulfilled until they accept responsibility for their own behaviors, fill their lives with joy, and regain a sense of spiritual wonder. They must pursue the true essence of life and happiness and find their way back to long ago, when the Prince of Innocence was born.
Book Synopsis The Cave and the Butterfly by : Paul S. Chung
Download or read book The Cave and the Butterfly written by Paul S. Chung and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers an intercultural theory of interpretation and religion. It does so by bringing Western and East Asian traditions into dialogue regarding the nature of interpretation. The result of this innovative study is a theory of interpretation which integrates the socially embodied dimension of human life with the study of hermeneutics and religion in post-foundational and cross-cultural perspective. Toward this end, Paul Chung offers a constructive theology of divine speech-acts in a manner more amenable to the social-public sphere than other proposals. In all of this he deeply considers intercultural horizon of interpretation between West and East and its implications for a theology of interpretation. The result is a truly theological theory of interpretation that takes seriously the issues of intercultural studies and their intersection with Christian doctrine.

Book Synopsis The Politics and Reception of Rabindranath Tagore's Drama by : Arnab Bhattacharya
Download or read book The Politics and Reception of Rabindranath Tagore's Drama written by Arnab Bhattacharya and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to focus specifically on Rabindranath Tagore’s dramatic literature, visiting translations and adaptations of Tagore’s drama, and cross-cultural encounters in his works. As Asia’s first Nobel Laureate, Tagore’s highly original plays occupy a central position in the Indian theatrescape. Tagore experimented with dance, music, dance drama, and plays, exploring concepts of environment, education, gender and women, postcolonial encounters, romantic idealism, and universality. Tagore’s drama plays a generous host to experimentations with new performance modes, like the writing and staging of an all-women play on stage for the first time, or the use of cross-cultural styles such as Manipuri dance, Thai craft in stage design, or the Baul singing styles. This book is an exciting re-exploration of Tagore’s plays, visiting issues such as his contribution to Indian drama, drama and environment, feminist readings, postcolonial engagements, cross-cultural encounters, drama as performance, translational and adaptation modes, the non-translated or the non-translatable Tagore drama, Tagore drama in the 21st century, and Indian film. The volume serves as a wide-ranging and up-to-date resource on the criticism of Tagore drama, and will appeal to a range of Theatre and Performance scholars as well as those interested in Indian theatre, literature, and film.

Download or read book Teddy's Dinosaur Adventure written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To read "Teddy's Dinosaur Adventure: A Teddy Bear's Mission to Meet Real Dinosaurs," you will meet Teddy, a cute teddy bear with big dreams and a strong desire to learn. One night under the stars, Teddy decides that he wants to go on an adventure that will take him out of his cozy home and into the world of the beautiful dinosaurs he has only read about. Because of this goal, Teddy sets out on a journey into the unknown, eager to find the elusive Dino Valley. An odd plan he finds in an old book helps him along the way. Teddy's trip takes him through beautiful landscapes that are full of challenges that test his bravery and determination. Teddy's trip is as much about the distance he travels as it is about the inner insights he gains. It takes him from the quiet depths of old forests where wise owls chat to singing rivers whose waters guide his steps and up mountains that scrape the sky. With each step forward, Teddy meets a new person who teaches him something new. He learns about kindness from a gentle fish, the eternal cycle of life from dinosaur elders, and the value of community and celebration from a happy dance with dinosaurs. Teddy's trip is full of magical moments, like when he touches something in the meadow and magical flowers bloom, or when he goes into a cave and hears voices from a long time ago talking about ancient mysteries. The interesting and mysterious people Teddy meets show him and the kids who read about him that the world is a never-ending research lab where even the hardest puzzles can be solved with bravery, friendship, and an open mind. It's not the dinosaurs themselves that Teddy thinks is the most amazing thing he has found, but rather his trip. His search ends on a night of wishes under a sky full of shooting stars. He's learned to be brave, met new people, and understood that journeys aren't just about getting somewhere; they're also about growing as a person, discovering new things, and making friends along the way. Teddy starts telling stories about magical fields, whispered secrets, and dinosaur dances when he gets home. People who read his stories are encouraged to go after their goals, start their own journeys, and remember that the most important things in life are our own thoughts and the relationships we make. The sweet story "Teddy's Dinosaur Adventure" celebrates the desire to learn more, the thrill of adventure, and the strong bond between friends. Chapter 1: A Wish Under the Stars A cute little teddy bear named Teddy, whose heart was as big as his interest, was lying on his back one beautiful night and looking up at the stars. For people who were brave enough to dream, each star was like a small lighthouse of wonder and hope that led to trips and dreams. With his smooth hair and kind, friendly eyes, Teddy was no different. That one night, his mind took him far from his cozy bed and into a huge, unexplored world waiting for him to find it. Teddy wanted to do many things, but one stood out: he wanted to meet real dinosaurs, the amazing animals he had only read about and seen in picture books. As Teddy lay there, the stars seemed to be brightening up to show that they were hearing his inner wishes. Teddy will always remember how wonderful that day was. He didn't know that this was the start of an amazing journey that would take him places he never thought possible. Even though it was very dark, Teddy saw something quietly twinkle next to him when the stars were the brightest. But this wasn't just any plan. This map was interesting; it came out of nowhere and had bright colors and worn edges. It made Teddy want to go on a journey like no other. With its winding roads, tall mountains, wide rivers, and dense woods, the map was beautifully made. Teddy's heart skipped a beat, but what really interested him was the big "X" that had been put in a certain spot and was labeled "Dino Valley." Dino Valley: Could it have once been home to real dinosaurs? Teddy's desire to try new things made him think that this was a chance he couldn't miss, and the idea was exciting. For the rest of the night, Teddy held the map in his small hands and thought about the trip he was about to take. He imagined himself walking through beautiful valleys while dinosaurs watched over him. He felt small and brave because he knew deep down that this was where he belonged. He saw himself playing with dinosaurs, learning from them, and even telling them stories under the big sky full of stars. The map wasn't just a piece of paper; it led to an interesting world and hinted at the amazing journey that was to come. When the first pink and gold light of dawn hit the walls of Teddy's room, he knew that his life was about to change. Thanks to the confusing map that would lead him, he was excited to explore the unknown, figure out Dino Valley's puzzles, and see the real dinosaurs of his dreams. He was led on this trip by the stars and his never-ending curiosity, like a teddy bear who thought dreams were magical. People all over the world were excited for Teddy to start his journey. Chapter 2: The Mysterious Chart Teddy was happy to start his day on a sunny morning because he had made his wish under the stars the night before. Today seemed different, but he couldn't explain why until he saw an old book that had been left on a shelf. This book wasn't like any other; it had been ignored for years and was full of dust. Its pages had hints of stories about creatures that have been dead for a long time, lost places, and the past. As Teddy carefully opened the book with his tiny, delicate paws, he felt like he was opening a prize chest. He had no idea what treats he would find inside. Teddy's heart was racing with joy as he turned the pages, which were full of drawing and stories about dinosaurs. He could picture himself walking among these huge animals, hearing their loud howls and feeling the ground shake under their feet. There was a map hidden among the stories and tales that Teddy found. It would change the course of his life forever. There was something strange about this map—it was dark and glowing all by itself, like it was alive and trying to reach out to him. Teddy was excited to explore the world of mountains, rivers, woods, and valleys that seemed to jump off the map's beautifully drawn pages. And there was Dino Valley, which had an “X" on it that seemed to glow just for him. Teddy's shocked eyes got even bigger. Some people said that dinosaurs still walked freely in Dino Valley, which was cut off from the rest of the world. There was a place Teddy had a hard time understanding that existed and that he would be able to visit it. There it was—a map showing the way. It was like the gods had heard his dream and decided to make it come true in the most imaginative way. Teddy understood how important it was to find the map. It looked like it had been hidden in the old book, ready to come out at the right time. Teddy saw the map as a way to get to a world beyond his wildest dreams and as a sign of exciting things to come. He was so excited that he couldn't help but use his finger to map out the way to Dino Valley and think about all the fun things that were going to happen. Of course, there would be problems. We wouldn't know what would happen on the long trip. Teddy, on the other hand, was ready for the journey of a lifetime because he was brave and had a big imagination.

Book Synopsis Rethinking Political Thinkers by : Manjeet Ramgotra
Download or read book Rethinking Political Thinkers written by Manjeet Ramgotra and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 783 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Political Thinkers explores a uniquely diverse set of political thinkers, from traditionally canonical theorists such as Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, and Mill, to marginalized women and thinkers of color, such as hooks, Du Bois, Butler, Fanon, Firestone, Said, and Goldman. Placing traditional thinkers alongside and in conversation with neglected and unheard voices opens up important debates, and presents political thought in a new light. Each thinker is examined within the contexts of patriarchy, white supremacy, and imperialism, and the relations and structures of race, gender, and class which different theories have reflected, defended, or challenged. The text is organized thematically, rather than simply chronologically, in order to explore central ideas such as social contract theory and its critics, freedom and revolution, the liberal self and black consciousness, colonial domination, and the environment. In each chapter students are encouraged to think through ideas in relation to their everyday experiences, and to understand that political thought occurs in many formats, so that they develop a more inclusive, intercultural, and critical awareness of the development of social and political thought. Original and timely, Rethinking Political Thinkers is designed to support the study of a decolonised political theory curriculum, revitalising political thought as a practice that belongs to us all. The online student resources include links to relevant videos, articles, blogs, and useful websites, which help students further develop their research interests. Additionally, detailed thinker biographies provide further social, political, and cultural context for each theorist covered in the text.
Book Synopsis The Cave of John the Baptist by : Shimon Gibson
Download or read book The Cave of John the Baptist written by Shimon Gibson and published by Image. This book was released on 2004-08-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first archaeological evidence of the historical reality of the Gospel story. From a historical point of view, the uniqueness of this cave is that it contains archaeological evidence that comes to us from the very time of the personalities and events described in the Gospels. For here is the largest ritual bathing pool ever found in the Jerusalem area, and found in the village where John the Baptist was born, showing unmistakable signs of ritual use in the first century AD. Also in the cave is the earliest ever Christian art, depicting John the Baptist as well as the three crosses of the crucifixion. By using the forensic techniques available to the modern archaeologist, Gibson and his international team have been able to draw information from the drawings, pottery, coins, bones, remains of ritual fire and pieces of cloth found in the cave and match these up with the contemporary literary sources. This is a unique opportunity to build up a picture of the very first Christians, how they lived and even what they believed. As Gibson writes: “By fitting together the new archaeological facts with the historical information available (and sometimes buried) in scholarly literature, I believe I am able to throw an amazing amount of light on the personality and mission of John the Baptist. Who was he? Where did he come from? What were his beliefs and what was the baptism all about?”

Download or read book The Cave and the Light written by Arthur Herman and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive sequel to New York Times bestseller How the Scots Invented the Modern World is a magisterial account of how the two greatest thinkers of the ancient world, Plato and Aristotle, laid the foundations of Western culture—and how their rivalry shaped the essential features of our culture down to the present day. Plato came from a wealthy, connected Athenian family and lived a comfortable upper-class lifestyle until he met an odd little man named Socrates, who showed him a new world of ideas and ideals. Socrates taught Plato that a man must use reason to attain wisdom, and that the life of a lover of wisdom, a philosopher, was the pinnacle of achievement. Plato dedicated himself to living that ideal and went on to create a school, his famed Academy, to teach others the path to enlightenment through contemplation. However, the same Academy that spread Plato’s teachings also fostered his greatest rival. Born to a family of Greek physicians, Aristotle had learned early on the value of observation and hands-on experience. Rather than rely on pure contemplation, he insisted that the truest path to knowledge is through empirical discovery and exploration of the world around us. Aristotle, Plato’s most brilliant pupil, thus settled on a philosophy very different from his instructor’s and launched a rivalry with profound effects on Western culture. The two men disagreed on the fundamental purpose of the philosophy. For Plato, the image of the cave summed up man’s destined path, emerging from the darkness of material existence to the light of a higher and more spiritual truth. Aristotle thought otherwise. Instead of rising above mundane reality, he insisted, the philosopher’s job is to explain how the real world works, and how we can find our place in it. Aristotle set up a school in Athens to rival Plato’s Academy: the Lyceum. The competition that ensued between the two schools, and between Plato and Aristotle, set the world on an intellectual adventure that lasted through the Middle Ages and Renaissance and that still continues today. From Martin Luther (who named Aristotle the third great enemy of true religion, after the devil and the Pope) to Karl Marx (whose utopian views rival Plato’s), heroes and villains of history have been inspired and incensed by these two master philosophers—but never outside their influence. Accessible, riveting, and eloquently written, The Cave and the Light provides a stunning new perspective on the Western world, certain to open eyes and stir debate. Praise for The Cave and the Light “A sweeping intellectual history viewed through two ancient Greek lenses . . . breezy and enthusiastic but resting on a sturdy rock of research.”—Kirkus Reviews “Examining mathematics, politics, theology, and architecture, the book demonstrates the continuing relevance of the ancient world.”—Publishers Weekly “A fabulous way to understand over two millennia of history, all in one book.”—Library Journal “Entertaining and often illuminating.”—The Wall Street Journal

Beginning with the appearance of the Buddha in our world (Book Two), it describes the Buddha's life, his enlightenment, and what he taught (Book Three) from a multitude of Buddhist viewpoints. Buddhism's transmission to and preservation in Tibet is the focus of the main part of this volume (Book Four), which describes the scriptural transmissions and lineages of meditation practice as well as the Buddhist arts that together make up the world of Tibetan Buddhism.
