Book Synopsis The Politics of Heaven and Hell by : James V. Schall
Download or read book The Politics of Heaven and Hell written by James V. Schall and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Heaven and Hell makes an invaluable contribution to the understanding of classical, medieval, and modern political philosophy, while explaining the profound problem with modernity. Christianity "freed men from the overwhelming burden of ever thinking that their salvation will ultimately come from the political order", writes Fr. James Schall, S.J. Modernity, on the other hand, is a perversion of Christianity, which tries to achieve man's salvation in this world. It does this by politicizing everything, which results in the absolute state: "The distance from the City of God to the Leviathan is not at all far once the City of God is relocated on earth." The best defense against this tyranny is "the adequate description of the highest things, of what is beyond politics". Both reason and revelation are needed for this work, and they are eloquently and ably set forth in this book.

Book Synopsis Theorizing Confucian Virtue Politics by : Sungmoon Kim
Download or read book Theorizing Confucian Virtue Politics written by Sungmoon Kim and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surprisingly little is known about what ancient Confucian thinkers struggled with in their own social and political contexts and how these struggles contributed to the establishment and further development of classical Confucian political theory. Leading scholar of comparative political theory, Sungmoon Kim offers a systematic philosophical account of the political theories of Mencius and Xunzi, investigating both their agreements and disagreements as the champions of the Confucian Way against the backdrop of the prevailing realpolitik of the late Warring States period. Together, they contributed to the formation of Confucian virtue politics, in which concerns about political order and stability and concerns about moral character and moral enhancement are deeply intertwined. By presenting their political philosophies in terms of constitutionalism, Kim shows how they each developed the ability to authorize the ruler's legitimate use of power in domestic and interstate politics in ways consistent with their distinctive accounts of human nature.

Book Synopsis Challenging the Mandate of Heaven by : Elizabeth J. Perry
Download or read book Challenging the Mandate of Heaven written by Elizabeth J. Perry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social science theories of contentious politics have been based almost exclusively on evidence drawn from the European and American experience, and classic texts in the field make no mention of either the Chinese Communist revolution or the Cultural Revolution -- surely two of the most momentous social movements of the twentieth century. Moreover, China's record of popular upheaval stretches back well beyond this century, indeed all the way back to the third century B.C. This book, by bringing together studies of protest that span the imperial, Republican, and Communist eras, introduces Chinese patterns and provides a forum to consider ways in which contentious politics in China might serve to reinforce, refine or reshape theories derived from Western cases.
Book Synopsis The New Milton Criticism by : Peter C. Herman
Download or read book The New Milton Criticism written by Peter C. Herman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Milton Criticism seeks to emphasize ambivalence and discontinuity in Milton's work and interrogate the assumptions and certainties in previous Milton scholarship. Contributors to the volume move Milton's open-ended poetics to the centre of Milton studies by showing how analysing irresolvable questions – religious, philosophical and literary critical – transforms interpretation and enriches appreciation of his work. The New Milton Criticism encourages scholars to embrace uncertainties in his writings rather than attempt to explain them away. Twelve critics from a range of countries, approaches and methodologies explore these questions in these new readings of Paradise Lost and other works. Sure to become a focus of debate and controversy in the field, this volume is a truly original contribution to early modern studies.
Download or read book All Under Heaven written by Tingyang Zhao and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this succinct yet ample work, Zhao Tingyang as one of China's most distinguished and respected intellectuals, provides a profoundly original philosophical interpretation of China's story. Over the past few decades, the question "where did China come from?" has absorbed the thoughts of many of China's best historians. Zhao, keenly aware of the persistent and pernicious asymmetry in the prevailing way scholars have gone about theorizing China according to Western concepts and categories, has tasked both Chinese and Western scholars alike to "rethink China." To this end, Zhao introduces what he terms a distinctively Chinese centripetal "whirlpool" model of world order to interpret the historical progression of China's "All-Under-Heaven" Tianxia identity construction on the central plain of China. In this book, Zhao forwards a novel and compelling thesis on not only how we should understand China, but also until recently, how China has understood itself"--

Download or read book On Earth as in Heaven written by Arthur Paul Boers and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do we touch God and meet Jesus in a church or a soup kitchen? In a monastery or on skid row? In a Bible camp or a housing project? In heaven or on earth? Such distinctions are false, says Arthur Paul Boers. We can't experience God in heaven without loving the needy on earth. Nor can we truly love the needy on earth if not empowered by God in heaven.

Book Synopsis James in Postcolonial Perspective by : K. Jason Coker
Download or read book James in Postcolonial Perspective written by K. Jason Coker and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James confronts the exploitive wealthy; it also opposes Pauline hybridity. K. Jason Coker argues that postcolonial perspectives allow us to understand how these themes converge in the letter. James opposes the exploitation of the Roman Empire and a peculiar Pauline form of hybridity that compromises with it; refutes Roman cultural practices, such as the patronage system and economic practices, that threaten the identity of the letter’s recipients; and condemns those who would transgress the boundaries between purity and impurity, God and “world.”
Book Synopsis The Politics of Heaven by : Rowshan Nemazee
Download or read book The Politics of Heaven written by Rowshan Nemazee and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For centuries, scholars have mined the pages of Augustine of Hippo's magnum opus, the City of God, for all manner of theoretical concepts and doctrines ranging from political and just war theories to salvation history and sin. To date, this well-excavated text has not been quarried with a feminist eschatological lens. Despite the sexist legacy attributed to Augustine, this study asks: Do women have a stake in the City of God? If so, to what extent? The recurring theme that runs through Augustine's text speaks to two orders of human society: civitas dei and civitas terrena, the city of God and the earthly city. These orders, identified by their God-directed or self-directed loves, create a powerful tension between the iniquities of life and human potential. Eschatological love and the politics of heaven take shape within this tension. The aim of this investigation has been to break ground in a new direction by examining the ways in which feminist eschatology can utilize or benefit from Augustine's eschatological enterprise." --
Book Synopsis What is the Kingdom of Heaven? (Routledge Revivals) by : A. Clutton-Brock
Download or read book What is the Kingdom of Heaven? (Routledge Revivals) written by A. Clutton-Brock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written as the First World War was finally drawing to a close, A. Clutton-Brock’s reflections on the Kingdom of Heaven examine this challenging theological concept in light of the great religious, political and moral uncertainties thrown up by the conflict. In particular, Clutton-Brock contends that historically Christian orthodoxy has not sufficiently emphasised the role of the Kingdom in salvation, given its importance in the ministry and teaching of Christ. To preserve a religious vision capable of interacting with the modern, industrial world, Christian orthodoxy must carefully consider the scope and importance of political practice, the role of the individual in the realisation of the Kingdom, and the profound implications of reconciling the facts of the universe with the most sincerely held beliefs.
Book Synopsis Visions of Peace by : Takashi Shogimen
Download or read book Visions of Peace written by Takashi Shogimen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visions of Peace: Asia and the West explores the diversity of past conceptualizations as well as the remarkable continuity in the hope for peace across global intellectual traditions. Current literature, prompted by September 11, predominantly focuses on the laws and ethics of just wars or modern ideals of peace. Asian and Western ideals of peace before the modern era have largely escaped scholarly attention. This book examines Western and Asian visions of peace that existed prior to c.1800 by bringing together experts from a variety of intellectual traditions. The historical survey ranges from ancient Greek thought, early Christianity and medieval scholasticism to Hinduism, classical Confucianism and Tokuguwa Japanese learning, before illuminating unfamiliar aspects of peace visions in the European Enlightenment. Each chapter offers a particular case study and attempts to rehabilitate a 'forgotten' conception of peace and reclaim its contemporary relevance. Collectively they provide the conceptual resources to inspire more creative thinking towards a new vision of peace in the present. Students and specialists in international relations, peace studies, history, political theory, philosophy, and religious studies will find this book a valuable resource on diverse conceptions of peace.
