Book Description
This book defines positive and inspirational ways in which to see the concepts of love. It is known that when a thought or a concept has more ways of being defined, it allows for a greater depth of meaning and understanding. There are times where modern culture defines love poorly and as such, it is time we shift our focus on to a more affirmative, encouraging and positive way of defining love. Everyone experiences and expresses love differently at different times, places and people. Not all the concepts in this book will necessarily be right for you, however hopefully it will give you more tools for your toolbox when it comes to receiving and expressing love. So with that in mind, allow this book to fill you with new concepts (and affirm old ones) in the meaning of love. Furthermore our hope is that you will allow this to touch all aspects of your life. After all, love is the power that binds us all together.

Love and its Place in Virtue
Author: Christine Swanton
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198922671
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
In Love and its Place in Virtue, Christine Swanton argues for an original position on the relations between love and virtue and love and virtue ethics. For this task the distinction between love as an emotion or emotional orientation and virtuous forms of love is central, as is the role of a conception of practical wisdom in virtuous love. How love features in virtue in general, including virtues which are not virtues of love, is the central theme. This book integrates virtue ethics with a renewed interest in the role of love in ethics. Until now virtue ethics and philosophical accounts of love have been separate fields. In Swanton's account of love she argues that there are many criteria for love which feature in various ways in the different forms of love. Central is the distinction between relational love between individuals and lovingness (in its various forms) as a fundamental emotional orientation towards the world as a whole (a Grundstimmung). Love and its Place in Virtue discusses "foundational" love (universal love, self-love and dwelling love), some of the impartial virtues of love, notably universal beneficence, impartial caring and forgiveness, as well as the relation between love and the personal virtue of justice, arguing that though justice is a virtue of respect it should be loving.

Sensing China
Author: Shengqing Wu
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000626970
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This book presents the first collection of studies of the senses and sensory experiences in China, filling a gap in sensory research while offering new approaches to Chinese Studies. Bringing together 12 chapters by literary scholars and historians, this book critically interrogates the deeply rooted meanings that the senses have coded in Chinese culture and society. Built on an exploration of the sensorium in early Chinese thought and late imperial literature, this book reveals the sensory manifestations of societal change and cultural transformation in China from the nineteenth century to the present day. It features in-depth examinations of a variety of concepts, representations, and practices, including aural and visual paradigms in ancient Chinese texts; odours in Ming-Qing literature and Republican Shanghai; the tactility of kissing and the sonic culture of community singing in the Republican era; the socialist sensorium in art, propaganda, memory, and embodied experiences; and contemporary-era multisensory cultural practices. Engaging with the exciting "sensory turn," this original work makes a unique contribution to the world history of the senses, and will be a valuable resource to scholars and students of Chinese Literature, History, Cultural Studies, and Media.
