Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Augustine says there is “no other reason for men to philosophize but to be happy.” Obviously, the Recuperation of the Theological Ethics of Happiness versus Logicism and Phil-Ideology is grounded in Book 1 of this author’s trilogy because, without metaphysics, there are no superior goods, and without the possession of such goods, there is no happiness. The most original and philosophic parts of this essay are the studies regarding the possibility of a science on happiness, the analysis of love, and the metaphysical study of the law which, in Kant and logicist strands, becomes ultimate reference point for morals. Epistemology shows that the law is an elaboration integrated by “universal concepts” and, therefore, should not be the ultimate point of reference, supplanting the supreme, singular-personal good. Love is focused in relation to happiness. Love is not desire but connaturality or adaptation to the good. Equipped with an appropriate notion of love, it is possible to delve into the act of creation and into the need of intellectual creatures to achieve the end of creation. There is no happiness without rationality and internal freedom. The last third of the book turns more theological, explaining that only under the action of the Spirit can the arduous good be desired, leading to “freedom from the law.” The New Law is the very presence of the Holy Spirit according to Aquinas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Logicist Tribulation of Sophia is a trilogy that attempts to confront idealism, positivism, secular humanism, as well as decadent and sterile Thomism. Since the most important parts of Book 1 are the result of the author's personal interpretation of Thomas Aquinas, the work is unexpectedly original. Logicism is a kind of animism invested of rationality. Animism is the unscientific tendency of transposing outside the mind interpretations of our cognitive apparatus. In general, all errors in science are related to logicism because they are human errors and, consequently, a product of or related to the way we feel and think. "Whoever ignores his own cognitive limitation falls into some form of logicism (or animism) for he ends up projecting his own ideas or mental schemes upon reality. Human science is always perfectible. Each new progress frequently uncovers the traces of previous logicism" (Book 1). The trilogy has unity in spite of its variety and amplitude. The relentless attack against logicism is the spark that kindles the flame of its unaltered leitmotiv and preponderant weapon: epistemology. This aims to foster the development of critical and analytical abilities. Hence the dedication: ERUDIENDIS ABSQUE DOLO SEU FICTIONE IUNIORIBUS PRAECIPUE (to those who are to be taught without fiction or deceit, especially the youth). Book 1 develops the essentials of an epistemological technique discovered in Aquinas, thus providing a scientific procedure for philosophy. It is the foundational section of the trilogy. Book 2 is titled Recuperation of the Theological Ethics of Happiness against Logicism and Phil-Ideology, and Book 3 is Recuperation of Theological Principles against Ideo-logicist Incompetence. A.J. Bueno is a Catholic priest from Venezuela and Colombia, who studied at Princeton University and at the Universita Lateranense in Rome. He now lives in Trinidad.

Book Synopsis Recuperation of Theological Principles against Ideo-logicist Incompetence by : A. J. Bueno
Download or read book Recuperation of Theological Principles against Ideo-logicist Incompetence written by A. J. Bueno and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Recuperation, based on the epistemology of Book 1, confronts the logicist destruction in theology. The preface enjoins: “Logicism is deleterious in all sciences. We shall see how it can destroy Theology trying, for example, to replace reality with sacred texts, that is, with testimonies of Revelation.” The logicist sub-epistemology certainly favors the identification of Revelation with Bible, of faith with articles of faith, of enuntiabilia and concepts with reality. Writing his theological thesis on Bonaventure, J. Ratzinger was pleasantly surprised to discover that no one in the thirteenth century called the Bible the Revelation. But this does not mean that logicism began afterward, with Descartes, for example, reaching its apotheosis with the German idealism. This book explains how a peculiar symbiosis of nominalism (Ockham) and logicism impairs the sincere and orthodox initial search of Luther, who ends up developing a theology of the nomina-logicist sort source of ravings. Erasmus perceives it and tries to refute him, but is a victim of similar epistemological blunders. The book’s second part focuses on the issue of the integral education of young people and leads to the need of sacred theology. Is it advisable to teach young people metaphysics and ethics in a strictly philosophical way in order to provide a fundamental view of reality, a Weltanschauung, perhaps? The explicit answer of Aristotle and Thomas is a resounding no. Aquinas advocates teaching metaphysics within theology.

Book Synopsis The Christian Doctrine of Apokatastasis by : Ilaria Ramelli
Download or read book The Christian Doctrine of Apokatastasis written by Ilaria Ramelli and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of apokatastasis (restoration), most famously defended by the Alexandrian exegete, philosopher and theologian Origen, has its roots in both Greek philosophy and Jewish-Christian Scriptures and literature, and became a major theologico-soteriological doctrine in patristics. This monograph—the first comprehensive, systematic scholarly study of the history of the Christian apokatastasis doctrine—argues its presence and Christological and Biblical foundation in numerous Christian thinkers, including Syriac, and analyses its origins, meaning, and development over eight centuries, from the New Testament to Eriugena, the last patristic philosopher. Surprises await readers of this book, which results from fifteen years of research. For instance, they will discover that even Augustine, in his anti-Manichaean phase, supported the theory of universal restoration.

Book Synopsis A Nation on the Line by : Jan M. Padios
Download or read book A Nation on the Line written by Jan M. Padios and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011 the Philippines surpassed India to become what the New York Times referred to as "the world's capital of call centers." By the end of 2015 the Philippine call center industry employed over one million people and generated twenty-two billion dollars in revenue. In A Nation on the Line Jan M. Padios examines this massive industry in the context of globalization, race, gender, transnationalism, and postcolonialism, outlining how it has become a significant site of efforts to redefine Filipino identity and culture, the Philippine nation-state, and the value of Filipino labor. She also chronicles the many contradictory effects of call center work on Filipino identity, family, consumer culture, and sexual politics. As Padios demonstrates, the critical question of call centers does not merely expose the logic of transnational capitalism and the legacies of colonialism; it also problematizes the process of nation-building and peoplehood in the early twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Jews and Protestants by : Irene Aue-Ben David
Download or read book Jews and Protestants written by Irene Aue-Ben David and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-08-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book sheds light on various chapters in the long history of Protestant-Jewish relations, from the Reformation to the present. Going beyond questions of antisemitism and religious animosity, it aims to disentangle some of the intricate perceptions, interpretations, and emotions that have characterized contacts between Protestantism and Judaism, and between Jews and Protestants. While some papers in the book address Luther’s antisemitism and the NS-Zeit, most papers broaden the scope of the investigation: Protestant-Jewish theological encounters shaped not only antisemitism but also the Jewish Reform movement and Protestant philosemitic post-Holocaust theology; interactions between Jews and Protestants took place not only in the German lands but also in the wider Protestant universe; theology was crucial for the articulation of attitudes toward Jews, but music and philosophy were additional spheres of creativity that enabled the process of thinking through the relations between Judaism and Protestantism. By bringing together various contributions on these and other aspects, the book opens up directions for future research on this intricate topic, which bears both historical significance and evident relevance to our own time.

Book Synopsis The Power of Education by : Colin Power
Download or read book The Power of Education written by Colin Power and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the power of education: the kind of education that simultaneously improves the quality of life both of individuals and the wider society. It explains why education must be viewed as a basic human right, as a value in and of itself, and reviews the evidence on how education builds the human resources that individuals and nations need to be productive, to continue to learn, to solve problems, to be creative, and to live together and with nature in peace and harmony. When nations ensure that such an education is accessible to all throughout their lives, education becomes the engine of sustainable development – economic, social, moral and cultural. The book is unique in that it covers the development of education at all levels in all countries of the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, using the latest international data bases, while blending in analyses of both quantitate and qualitative research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visio Pauli and the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul is the first modern collection of studies on the most important aspects of the Visio Pauli, the most popular early Christian apocalypse in the Middle Ages. The volume starts with a short study of the textual traditions of the Visio Pauli, its Jewish and early Christian traditions as well as its influence on later literature, such as Dante. This is followed by studies of the Prologue, the four rivers of Eden, the place of the Ocean, the relation between body and soul, the image of hell and its punishments, and the connection with fantastic literature. Finally, a codicological, comparative, and textual re-evaluation of the Coptic translation attempts to correct earlier errors and to rehabilitate the value and interest of this long neglected version of the Visio Pauli. The book is concluded with a study of the earthly tribunal in the fourth heaven of the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul. As has become customary, the volume is rounded off by an extensive bibliography of the Visio Pauli and the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul and a detailed index.
