Book Synopsis The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by : Shokoofeh Azar
Download or read book The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree written by Shokoofeh Azar and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grieving family flees Tehran after the Islamic Revolution in this novel of “magical realism with a Persian twist” translated from Farsi (The Guardian, UK). When their home in Tehran is burned to the ground by zealots, killing their thirteen-year-old daughter Bahar, a once-prominent family flees to a small village. There, they hope to preserve both their intellectual freedom and their lives. But they soon find themselves caught up in the post-revolutionary chaos that sweeps across their ancient land and its people. Bahar’s mother, after a tragic loss, will embark on a long, eventful journey in search of meaning in a world swept up in the post-revolutionary madness. The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree speaks of the power of imagination when confronted with cruelty, and of our human need to make sense of trauma through the ritual of storytelling itself. Through her unforgettable characters, Iranian novelist Shokoofeh Azar weaves a timely and timeless story that juxtaposes the beauty of an ancient, vibrant culture with the brutality of an oppressive political regime. “[Azar’s] book is a great journey. It moves places and it moves us as readers, in an emotional and intellectual sense.” —Robert Wood, The Los Angeles Review of Books
Book Synopsis Enlightenment Orientalism by : Srinivas Aravamudan
Download or read book Enlightenment Orientalism written by Srinivas Aravamudan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Srinivas Aravamudan here reveals how Oriental tales, pseudo-ethnographies, sexual fantasies, and political satires took Europe by storm during the eighteenth century. Naming this body of fiction Enlightenment Orientalism, he poses a range of urgent questions that uncovers the interdependence of Oriental tales and domestic fiction, thereby challenging standard scholarly narratives about the rise of the novel. More than mere exoticism, Oriental tales fascinated ordinary readers as well as intellectuals, taking the fancy of philosophers such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Diderot in France, and writers such as Defoe, Swift, and Goldsmith in Britain. Aravamudan shows that Enlightenment Orientalism was a significant movement that criticized irrational European practices even while sympathetically bridging differences among civilizations. A sophisticated reinterpretation of the history of the novel, Enlightenment Orientalism is sure to be welcomed as a landmark work in eighteenth-century studies.

Book Synopsis Songs of the Sons and Daughters of Buddha by :
Download or read book Songs of the Sons and Daughters of Buddha written by and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lyrical translation of an inspired selection of verses from the earliest Buddhist monks and nuns. More than two thousand years ago, the earliest disciples of the Buddha put into verse their experiences on the spiritual journey--from their daily struggles to their spiritual realizations. Over time the verses were collected to form the Theragatha and Therigatha, the "Verses of Elder Monks" and "Verses of Elder Nuns" respectively. In Songs of the Sons and Daughters of the Buddha, renowned poets Andrew Schelling and Anne Waldman have translated the most poignant poems in these collections, bringing forth the visceral, immediate qualities that are often lost in more scholarly renditions. These selections reveal the fears, loves, mishaps, expectations, and joys of the early monks and nuns, when, struck by wild insight, they cried out the anguish or solace they knew in their lives.
Book Synopsis The Enlightenment by : Anthony Pagden
Download or read book The Enlightenment written by Anthony Pagden and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enlightenment and Why It Still Matters tells nothing less than the story of how the modern, Western view of the world was born. Cultural and intellectual historian Anthony Pagden explains how, and why, the ideal of a universal, global, and cosmopolitan society became such a central part of the Western imagination in the ferment of the Enlightenment - and how these ideas have done battle with an inward-looking, tradition-oriented view of the world ever since. Cosmopolitanism is an ancient creed; but in its modern form it was a creature of the Enlightenment attempt to create a new 'science of man', based upon a vision of humanity made up of autonomous individuals, free from all the constraints imposed by custom, prejudice, and religion. As Pagden shows, this 'new science' was based not simply on 'cold, calculating reason', as its critics claimed, but on the argument that all humans are linked by what in the Enlightenment were called 'sympathetic' attachments. The conclusion was that despite the many tribes and nations into which humanity was divided there was only one 'human nature', and that the final destiny of the species could only be the creation of one universal, cosmopolitan society. This new 'human science' provided the philosophical grounding of the modern world. It has been the inspiration behind the League of Nations, the United Nations and the European Union. Without it, international law, global justice, and human rights legislation would be unthinkable. As Anthony Pagden argues passionately and persuasively in this book, it is a legacy well worth preserving - and one that might yet come to inherit the earth.
Book Synopsis Provincial Russia in the Age of Enlightenment by : Дмитрий Иванович Ростиславов
Download or read book Provincial Russia in the Age of Enlightenment written by Дмитрий Иванович Ростиславов and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoir of Dmitrii Ivanovich Rostislavov--a mathematician, teacher, and social critic--offers a rare firsthand view of provincial Russia in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Translated into English for the first time, these extraordinary observations reveal much about daily village life and the cultural milieu of the time. An acute observer, Rostislavov discusses social and ethnic relationships as well as matters pertaining to education, law enforcement, religious practice, and folk beliefs. Rostislavov's account of his own education is a harrowing description of coming of age in a Darwinian world of violence and cruelty. Coarse, impoverished schoolboys, brutal and corrupt teachers, and callous landlords formed a harsh environment characterized by sadistic corporal punishment and bitter class hatreds. Variously humorous, elegiac, and passionate, his narrative shows why even those from relatively privileged backgrounds came to detest the authoritarian order of the old regime. In a probing analysis of the Russian national order, Rostislavov found the twin evils facing Russia to be the coarseness of traditional society and the authoritarianism and corruption of the regime and its representatives. Russia's hope for the future, he believed, lay with cultural changes that would ultimately raise the society's moral level. Illustrations, maps, and an introduction illuminating the historical context accompany this remarkable account of life in provincial Russia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have some penetration to see Jesus’ teaching in four Gospels, you know that Jesus doesn’t call Jehovah as God or Father. God or Father seen with the word of truth are not different expression with a morality, a true self, a void, the sky, nothing said in the Oriental Philosophy. Over 2000 years the Christian has been called or believed as “pray as name of Jesus, Amen” but captured in the religion fence, turn away their faces from the word of truth, the true Jesus’ teaching and volunteering a slave action cheated by the false of Jehovah with begging and imploring as if the key of relief for Jesus’ death of cross and the revival miracle, they don’t live the true love or the life mercy in not escaping from all the biding or scare. Now we have to live in the true freedom and happiness going beyond living and death getting a perceive treasure likely to Jesus escaping from mind illusion with the treasure map of the word given to us by Jesus, the way, the truth and the life as the light drives out the darkness. Being spiritually awakened, that is, you see the God, meet and this is the relief to enter into the God’s heaven with the forever life. Reviews: “Jesus is not Jehovah’s son” is very awful and shocking idea. What they just believe the different of Jehovah and Paul is like to get a graph from a horn bush. Luther couldn’t change the religion but this book called the big revolution over the religion. -- Man Sung Park, Carpenter Jesus is not the Son of Yahweh (Jehovah) is the one of the greatest book that defines the truth that Jesus want to teach easily and clearly. As the writer say, if we would know the truth that teaches by Jesus, the Christianity and Buddhism would meet each other and the human would finds the true freedom and happiness which is high dimension over the religion. -- Seung Taek Lee, Prof of University of Foreign Studies This book is to understand easily for Christianity problem that views the reader’s mind deeply. This book is not picked up various stories but is expressed what the writer who realized the truth felt and saw through in deep mind. The Gospel in Brief written by Leo Tolstoy is even for the starting to question for Christianity but this book is important to complete Jesus’ teaching. --Jung Bu Jo, Student of Theological School Read this book, what oppose other’s religions and we call heresy or Satan in same religions is because they all don’t know the truth. I respect more Jesus, foresighted leader realized, after read this book. I hope it’s not only all the people find the order and the peace met each other, but also all the religion by this book. --Ye Jin Lee, Teacher of Middle School Why don’t Theologians and Ministers know this contents yet? They can’t find the truth to know easily like this for 2000 years long. The refinding the truth in Jesus’ teaching is the most popular, important event in the world and it will be a bright light for all human. --Woo Nyun Lee, Farmer I went church for 50 years long, but in my mind I always got a question and a doubt. However, this book clears all the question and doubt. I’ve never heard the book detailed and lectures quoted like this Bible for Jesus’ Teachings. I knew now that praying in the Church “the Apostles’ Creed” or the doctrine of Christ are not fixed anything else. -- Jun Su Kim, Rep. Publishing Firm. “Jesus said if the person who would eat my flesh and blood, they will live forever.” It does not mean that if they believe the blood split from Jesus and the revival of Jesus, they got a forgiveness and a relief and go to the heaven. This book defines that if they follow Jesus’ teaching and get the new life beyond the life and death. -- Chang Suk Kim, Homemaker It’s the first time to see the uninteresting and difficult book. It’s uneasy to understand and a lot to accept in my mind. But it’s a book of low balance to blame whom or to support. I am going to compare the contents of this book and t

Book Synopsis The Dream of Enlightenment: The Rise of Modern Philosophy by : Anthony Gottlieb
Download or read book The Dream of Enlightenment: The Rise of Modern Philosophy written by Anthony Gottlieb and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Gottlieb’s landmark The Dream of Reason and its sequel challenge Bertrand Russell’s classic as the definitive history of Western philosophy. Western philosophy is now two and a half millennia old, but much of it came in just two staccato bursts, each lasting only about 150 years. In his landmark survey of Western philosophy from the Greeks to the Renaissance, The Dream of Reason, Anthony Gottlieb documented the first burst, which came in the Athens of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Now, in his sequel, The Dream of Enlightenment, Gottlieb expertly navigates a second great explosion of thought, taking us to northern Europe in the wake of its wars of religion and the rise of Galilean science. In a relatively short period—from the early 1640s to the eve of the French Revolution—Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Leibniz, and Hume all made their mark. The Dream of Enlightenment tells their story and that of the birth of modern philosophy. As Gottlieb explains, all these men were amateurs: none had much to do with any university. They tried to fathom the implications of the new science and of religious upheaval, which led them to question traditional teachings and attitudes. What does the advance of science entail for our understanding of ourselves and for our ideas of God? How should a government deal with religious diversity—and what, actually, is government for? Such questions remain our questions, which is why Descartes, Hobbes, and the others are still pondered today. Yet it is because we still want to hear them that we can easily get these philosophers wrong. It is tempting to think they speak our language and live in our world; but to understand them properly, we must step back into their shoes. Gottlieb puts readers in the minds of these frequently misinterpreted figures, elucidating the history of their times and the development of scientific ideas while engagingly explaining their arguments and assessing their legacy in lively prose. With chapters focusing on Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Pierre Bayle, Leibniz, Hume, Rousseau, and Voltaire—and many walk-on parts—The Dream of Enlightenment creates a sweeping account of what the Enlightenment amounted to, and why we are still in its debt.
Book Synopsis Enlightenment Now by : Steven Pinker
Download or read book Enlightenment Now written by Steven Pinker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 ONE OF THE ECONOMIST'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR "My new favorite book of all time." --Bill Gates If you think the world is coming to an end, think again: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science. By the author of the new book, Rationality. Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing. Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature--tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking--which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation. With intellectual depth and literary flair, Enlightenment Now makes the case for reason, science, and humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.
