This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The will grows into love, love becomes charity, and charity develops into wisdom." This is one of many gems in this book. "The love which we owe God is fourfold and entire. In that He says He will be loved 'with all thy heart', He demands our will. 'Will all thy strength' implies the virtue of charity, and 'with all thy mind' means the enjoyment of wisdom. It is the will itself which first moves the soul towards God, and love carries it onward. Charity contemplates Him and wisdom enjoys Him."

Book Synopsis Love and the Dignity of Human Life by : Robert Spaemann
Download or read book Love and the Dignity of Human Life written by Robert Spaemann and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to love someone? What does the concept of human dignity mean, and what are its consequences? What marks the end of a person's life? Is personhood more than consciousness? These perplexing questions lurk beneath the surface of everyday life, surfacing only to demand urgent attention in crises. Renowned German philosopher Robert Spaemann addresses these and other foundational enigmas in three eloquent short essays. Speaking wisdom to controversy, he offers carefully considered, novel approaches to key philosophical and theological questions about the nature of human love ("The Paradoxes of Love"), dignity ("Human Dignity and Human Nature"), and death ("Is Brain Death the Death of a Human Person?").

Book Synopsis The Nature of Dignity by : Ron Bontekoe
Download or read book The Nature of Dignity written by Ron Bontekoe and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-03-16 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nature of Dignity is a highly interdisciplinary work of philosophy that focuses primarily on the form of dignity (or nobility of demeanor) that individuals exhibit to varying degrees, rather than the form of dignity that we tend to presume we always already possess simply by virtue of being human. The book contends that the Enlightenment assumptions that have traditionally been appealed to in elucidating our conceptions of human dignity are no longer tenable_most importantly because of what we know about evolutionary biology, but also in light of certain dominant strains in modern political-economic theory. The book argues that, nonetheless, dignity is a value to which we should remain committed, and offers a new set of conceptual underpinnings with which to replace the no longer tenable Enlightenment assumptions of Kant, Locke, and others on this subject.

Download or read book On the Nature and Dignity of Love written by William Saint Thierry and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-19 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WILLIAM OF SAINT THIERRY, the little known but very great contemporary and friend of Saint Bernard, wrote his treatise On the nature and dignity of love a little after his first work, On contemplating God. He was at the time abbot of the Benedictine monastery of Saint Thierry near Rheims, but one already notices how heavy he found the abbatial charge. Eventually he found it impossible to carry on any longer, and in I 135 he resigned his office and took the Cistercian habit in the new foundation at Signy. Most of William' s work was produced when he was abbot of Saint Thierry, and his treatise On the nature and dignity of love lnight conceivably be based on sermons delivered at the morning chapter to his monks at Saint Thierry. As Saint Aelred took Cicero's doctrine as the basis for his work on spiritual friendship, so the author of The nature and dignity of love took Ovid's Art of Loving as the starting point of his work. But whereas Aelred developed Cicero's thought in a Christian context, William used Ovid only in order to contradict his all too popular doctrine of profane love, as he says quite clearly in his first chapter: ' ... by unruly rules he [Ovid] instructed the natural faculties in licentiousness ... instead of turning towards God in the due order of nature, men were brought low by the allurements of the flesh.' One can legitimately suppose that William found many of the novices as saturated with Ovid as he found them in later years at Signy reeking with the 'errors' of Abelard. William visualized the monastery as a school of love. In chapter nine we read that the monastery is charity's own school. Here the study of love is pursued. Here love's disputations are held and love's questions answered.' But it is important to note how, in the same chapter, William traces the descent of the monastic comnumity from that fellowship of the Holy Spirit which the Apostles were the first to enjoy. On the nature and dignity of love is not just a monastic idyll, but a passage which most interest every Christian, for all are bowld to seek after the perfection of love.
Book Synopsis From Human Dignity to Natural Law by : Richard Berquist
Download or read book From Human Dignity to Natural Law written by Richard Berquist and published by Catholic University of America Press. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Human Dignity to Natural Law shows how the whole of the natural law, as understood in the Aristotelian Thomistic tradition, is contained implicitly in human dignity. Human dignity means existing for one’s own good (the common good as well as one’s individual good), and not as a mere means to an alien good. But what is the true human good? This question is answered with a careful analysis of Aristotle’s definition of happiness. The natural law can then be understood as the precepts that guide us in achieving happiness. To show that human dignity is a reality in the nature of things and not a mere human invention, it is necessary to show that human beings exist by nature for the achievement of the properly human good in which happiness is found. This implies finality in nature. Since contemporary natural science does not recognize final causality, the book explains why living things, as least, must exist for a purpose and why the scientific method, as currently understood, is not able to deal with this question. These reflections will also enable us to respond to a common criticism of natural law theory: that it attempts to derive statements of what ought to be from statements about what is. After defining the natural law and relating it to human or positive law, Richard Berquist considers Aquinas’s formulation of the first principle of the natural law. It then discusses the love commandments to love God above all things and to love one’s neighbor as oneself as the first precepts of the natural law. Subsequent chapters are devoted to clarifying and defending natural law precepts concerned with the life issues, with sexual morality and marriage, and with fundamental natural rights. From Human Dignity to Natural Law concludes with a discussion of alternatives to the natural law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tsoknyi Rinpoche is a reincarnate lama educated in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He has been teaching students from around the world since 1990. "Being carefree, you can fit in anywhere. If you're not carefree you keep on bumping up against things. Your life becomes so narrow, so tight; it gets very claustrophobic. Carefree means being wide open from within, not constricted. Carefree doesn't mean careless. It is not that you don't care about others, not that you don't have compassion or are unfriendly. Carefree is being really simple, from the inside. Dignity is not conceit but rather what shines forth from this carefree confidence." --Tsoknyi Rinpoche Tsoknyi Rinpoche's teaching style embodies a vividness that is a play between himself and his audience. His immediateness includes gestures and examples that entice us to understanding. Through guided meditations he offers direct participation as a delightful enhancement to our practice. Simple, straightforward and profound, Carefree Dignity is a book that captivates our intellect while enriching our awareness.

Download or read book Dignity written by Remy Debes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In everything from philosophical ethics to legal argument to public activism, it has become commonplace to appeal to the idea of human dignity. In such contexts, the concept of dignity typically signifies something like the fundamental moral status belonging to all humans. Remarkably, however, it is only in the last century that this meaning of the term has become standardized. Before this, dignity was instead a concept associated with social status. Unfortunately, this transformation remains something of a mystery in existing scholarship. Exactly when and why did "dignity" change its meaning? And before this change, was it truly the case that we lacked a conception of human worth akin to the one that "dignity" now represents? In this volume, leading scholars across a range of disciplines attempt to answer such questions by clarifying the presently murky history of "dignity," from classical Greek thought through the Middle Ages and Enlightenment to the present day.

Book excerpt: "A long and happy marriage." It sounds like the end of a fairy tale--an illusion that modern times have exposed. And it is, if marriage depends on a constant stream of romantic emotion, or even on copious amounts of time or money. Thank the Lord, none of those are necessary. Two thousand years ago, Paul gave women the key to a successful marriage, and it can be summed up in two words: unconditional respect. It's not popular. It doesn't sound fair. It can be hard to imagine. But it works. Nina Roesner has led countless women through this practical and life-changing journey, and in The Respect Dare she offers you the hope that so many others have found. Day by day, true stories and thought-provoking questions will help you apply biblical wisdom to the most important relationship in your life. The book is filled with stories of struggle and success, and many practical applications of respect that have dramatically impacted marriages. Give it forty days. Experience the intimacy God intended and discover what he can do in your heart and in your marriage when you choose to show respect his way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book 1 in the Determination Trilogy) He wants it back… My name is Kevin Markos, former anchor for Full News Broadcasting. I say former, because an exhaustion- and frustration-fueled emotional on-air meltdown of apocalyptic proportions means my previously dignified reputation and successful career as a highly respected conservative TV news host and commentator lay in smoking, irreparable ruins. Only one person will hire me now, and it's the last person I want to work for—Democratic Senator ShaeLynn Samuels, who's determined to be the next president of the United States. My reluctance isn't because of her, but because of who's working for her: Christopher Bruunt, the head of her Secret Service detail. A college spring break trip I thought was safely hidden forever in my past, even if it never strayed far from my thoughts, now comes back to haunt me. But if I take this job and succeed, it could resurrect my career and put me at the right hand of the most powerful person in the United States. But how much am I personally willing to sacrifice to claw my way back to the top? Because Christopher never forgot that spring break, either. And he has a few agendas of his own. This MMF contemporary political romance features older main characters, second-chance love, an Alpha Secret Service agent, power exchange, pining, frenemies to lovers, a secret workplace romance at the highest levels of our nation's government, political intrigue, and a satisfying HEA. Book 1 of the Determination Trilogy, a standalone spin-off trilogy set in the world of the Governor Trilogy, the Devastation Trilogy, and others.
