Wisdom
Author: John Kekes
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197514065
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
In this book, renowned philosopher John Kekes develops and defends a humanistic conception of wisdom as a personal attitude--one that can guide how we face adversities and evaluate the often conflicting possibilities and limits of life in the context in which we live. Wisdom includes basic assumptions about the concrete and constantly changing conditions of life; reflective understanding of how we can rely on reason to evaluate the possibilities open to us and recognize the limits we have no choice but to accept; and it includes depth that enables us to accept that perennial problems are part of the human condition and yet to restrain our false hopes and disenchanted reactions to the vicissitudes of life. The evaluative attitude of wisdom is personal, not theoretical; anthropocentric, not metaphysical; context-dependent, not universal; and humanistic, not scientific. It recognizes that there are many forms of worthwhile lives, and denies that there is one ideal of The Good that everyone should try to approximate. It accepts that all of our beliefs, emotions, and desires are fallible, yet they are correctable provided we are sufficiently critical of them. The resulting conception of wisdom is intended as a contribution to philosophy as a humanistic discipline. It is a radical departure from traditional ways of thinking about wisdom.

Hedgehog
Author: Hugh Warwick
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1780233159
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
From the Romans who viewed the hedgehog as a weather prophet to modern gardeners who depend on the creature to keep gardens pest-free, the small, spiny animal has had a close connection with humans since the dawn of civilization. A creature of fascination, endearment, and cultural significance, it is one of the few wild animals that people can approach without the fear of attack or it running away. Exploring how this and other characteristics of the hedgehog have propelled it to become one of people’s favorite animals, this book examines the natural and cultural history of these symbolic creatures. Following the hedgehog as it spreads through Europe and Asia to the foot of Africa, Hugh Warwick describes its evolution, behavior, habitat, and diet, as well as its current endangered status. He also looks at the animal’s appeal, accessibility, and status as a pet in many countries, considering its appearance in advertising, films, children’s books, and games. Casting new light on the ancestors of Sonic and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Hedgehog is a fascinating look at these prickly, admirable animals.

"If you buy one book this year make sure it's this one... Enchanting." Daily Mail "This charming book weaves hedgehogs into our hearts, our lives and our national identity."

Having managed to outlive roads, dogs, strimmers and pesticides, hedgehogs are now an endangered species. For Sarah Sands, our failure to protect them is a symptom of our alienation from the living world. But all is not yet lost. In this charming book, Sands explores the meaning and morals of hedgehogs, and finds, in hedgehog world, a source of deep solace and wisdom.

It's Not About The Food
Author: Alexandra Amor
Publisher: Fat Head Publishing
ISBN: 1988924324
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 103
Book Description
The answers to healing your overeating habit have been within you all along. In fact, you might be surprised to learn that the drive you feel to overeat is actually your body’s way of trying to get your attention and let you know you are now, and always have been, entirely whole. (Surprise!) There is a revolution happening in our psychological awareness about how being human works. This new understanding points us away from focusing on what we believe is wrong with us and instead reminds us that we always have all that we need. It flips the way we think about ourselves and our lives on its head. Seeing life this way has the power to reverse our overeating habit and bring us the sense of peace we’ve been seeking via diets and weight loss. For 30+ years author Alexandra Amor read every self-help book and followed every different kind of diet plan she could find, only to fail, again and again. But in 2017 when she began to learn about the misunderstandings we hold about why we feel the drive to overeat, everything changed. In this intimate and compassionate book, Alexandra shares everything she’s learned about a new psychological paradigm that explains how by looking in a slightly different direction from the outdated will-power and deprivation model we can find lasting freedom from our overeating habits. It turns out that if, like Alexandra, you’ve tried everything to eliminate your drive to overeat and nothing has worked, you aren’t the problem. The problem is we’ve been looking in the wrong place for answers.
