This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTION. The problem of renunciation arises in connection with the newer and more profound conception of the moral life, as it has been developed by modern writers. According to the traditional view, the ethical decision and moral choice had to do with one or other of the peculiar functions of consciousness, as feeling or intellect, sensibility or reason. Thus arose the dualism which occasioned the sharp conflict between Epicureanism and Stoicism, the ideal of the former being the enjoyment of life, while the latter made life a matter of obligation. This dualism persisted in modern thinking in the form of Hedonism on the one hand and Rationalism on the other with a constant conflict which served in time to reveal the inadequacy of either conception to meet the ethical demands of humanity. Hedonism possessed material and content in sensibility but lacked form and a regulating principle, while Rationalism had the form and regulating principle but lacked material and content. Consequently there was a search for a reconciling principle which would recognize the rights of both Hedonism and Rationalism. This search resulted in the conclusion that life must be conceived as an unit which took the form of Eudemonism, where self-realization through the aesthetical impulse was the ideal, or Rigorism, where the religious influence was paramount. Both views apprehended life as a whole but where Eudemonism counseled man to accept life, Rigorism demanded that he reject it. Therefore, the distinction which now obtains in the moral field, instead of forcing the ethical subject to choose between separate functions of consciousness, man is called upon to regard his life as an unity and upon this basis to either assert his life as a whole or deny it. Thus arises our problem of renunciation. For its proper consideration as an ethical ideal, its place in human thought and the forms in which it appears, it is necessary that this thesis be historical and expository with some critical estimate of renunciation as a problem in human life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ethical Ideal of Renunciation a Thesis The problem of renunciation arises in connection with the newer and more profound conception of the moral life, as it has been developed by modern writers. According to the traditional view, the ethical decision and moral choice had to do with one or other of the peculiar functions of consciousness, as feeling or intellect, sensibility or reason. Thus arose the dualism which occasioned the sharp conflict between Epicureanism and Stoicism, the ideal of the former being the enjoyment of life, while the latter made life a matter of obligation. This dualism persisted in modern thinking in the form of Hedonism on the one hand and Rationalism on the other with a constant conflict which served in time to reveal the inadequacy of either conception to meet the ethical demands of humanity. Hedonism possessed material and content in sensibility but lacked form and a regulating principle, while Rationalism had the form and regulating principle but lacked material and content. Consequently there was a search for a reconciling principle which would recognize the rights of both Hedonism and Rationalism. This search resulted in the conclusion that life must be conceived as an unit which took the form of Eudaemonism, where self-realization through the aesthetical impulse was the ideal, or Rigorism, where the religious influence was paramount.

Download or read book Zarathustra and the Ethical Ideal written by Robert Henri Cousineau and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work defines its course in reference to Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra. The author uses Zarathustra to reflect how our understanding is wedded to affective modes, thematizing especially laughter, fear, awe and hope. The book invites us to rethink how to overcome some relevant impasses of contemporary analytic, hermeneutic and (post)deconstructionist thought. The author seeks the dialogue with the texts and the reader and gradually brings to the fore the ethical. In the words of the author: Most works on Nietzsche talk about him, few address him, much less invite the reader to walk with him. It is time for a dialogical itinerary.

Book excerpt: Renunciation as a creative force in the careers of writers, philosophers, and artists is the animating idea behind Ross Posnock’s new book. Taking up acts of abandonment, rejection, and refusal that have long baffled critics, he shows how renunciation has reframed the relationship of artists and intellectuals to society in productive and unpredictable ways. In a work of remarkable synthesis that includes traditions and genres from antiquity to postmodernity, Posnock discovers connections among disparate figures ranging from Lao Tzu to Dave Chappelle and Bob Dylan. The thread running through these acts of renunciation, he argues, is an aesthetic and ethical resistance to the demand that one’s words and actions be straightforward and immediately comprehensible. Modern art in particular valorizes the nonconceptual and the intuitive, seeking to make silence articulate and incompletion fertile. Renouncers reject not only artistic and scholarly conventions but also the public roles that attend them. Wittgenstein, Rimbaud, and Glenn Gould brazenly flouted professional and popular expectations, demanding that philosophy, poetry, music play by new rules. Emerson and Nietzsche severed all institutional ties, while William James waged a guerrilla campaign from his post at Harvard against what all three considered to be the enemy: the pernicious philosophical insistence on rationality. Posnock also examines renunciations in light of World War II—the veterans J. D. Salinger and George Oppen, and the Holocaust survivor Paul Celan—while a fourth cluster includes the mystic Thomas Merton and the abstract painters Ad Reinhardt and Agnes Martin.

Download or read book The Ethics of Sankara and Santideva written by Warren Lee Todd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the philosophical concerns of the nature of self, this book draws from two of the most influential Indian masters, Śaṅkara and Śāntideva. Todd demonstrates that an ethics of altruism is still possible within a metaphysics which assumes there to be no independent self. A new ethical model based on the notions of ’flickering consciousness’ and ’constructive altruism’ is proposed. By comparing the metaphysics and ethics of Śaṅkara and Śāntideva, Todd shows that the methodologies and aims of these Buddhist and Hindu masters trace remarkably similar cross-cutting paths. Treating Buddhism and Hinduism with equal respect, this book compares and reinterprets the Indian material so as to engage with contemporary Western debates on self and to show that Indian philosophy is indeed a philosophy of dialogue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming Vaishnava in an Ideal Vedic City centers on a growing multinational community of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) devotees in Mayapur, West Bengal. While ISKCON’s history is often presented in terms of an Indian guru ‘transplanting’ Indian spirituality to the West, this book focusses on the efforts to bring ISKCON back to India. Paying particular attention to devotees’ failure to consistently live up to ISKCON’s ideals and the ongoing struggle to realize the utopian vision of an ‘ideal Vedic city’, this book argues that the anthropology of ethics must account for how moral systems accommodate the problem of moral failure.

Book excerpt: A National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author deepens and refreshes our view of early Christianity while casting a disturbing light on the evolution of the attitudes passed down to us. "Confirms her reputation as both a scholar and a popular interpreter.... Continuously rewarding and illuminating." —The New York Times How did the early Christians come to believe that sex was inherently sinful? When did the Fall of Adam become synonymous with the fall of humanity? What turned Christianity from a dissident sect that championed the integrity of the individual and the idea of free will into the bulwark of a new imperial order—with the central belief that human beings cannot not choose to sin? In this provocative masterpiece of historical scholarship Elaine Pagels re-creates the controversies that racked the early church as it confronted the riddles of sexuality, freedom, and sin as embodied in the story of Genesis. And she shows how what was once heresy came to shape our own attitudes toward the body and the soul.
