Book Description
Intelligent Souls? offers a new understanding of Islam in eighteenth-century Britain. Cahill explores two overlapping strands of thinking about women and Islam, which produce the phenomenon of “feminist orientalism.” One strand describes seventeenth-century ideas about the nature of the soul used to denigrate religio-political opponents. A second tracks the transference of these ideas to Islam during the Glorious Revolution and the Trinitarian controversy of the 1690s. The confluence of these discourses compounded if not wholly produced the stereotype that Islam denied women intelligent souls. Surprisingly, women writers of the period accepted the stereotype, but used it for their own purposes. Rowe, Carter, Lennox, More, and Wollstonecraft, Cahill argues, established common ground with men by leveraging the “otherness” identified with Islam to dispute British culture’s assumption that British women were lacking in intelligence, selfhood, or professional abilities. When Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman she accepted that view as true—and “feminist orientalism” was born, introducing a fallacy about Islam to the West that persists to this day.

Book Description
The volume contains a collection of papers presented at the International Symposium, which took place in Hvar, Croatia, in 2006. In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest in the study of Plato, Platonism and Neoplatonism. Taking the position that it is of vital importance to establish an ongoing dialogue among scientists, artists, academics, theologians and philosophers concerning pressing issues of common interest to humankind, this collection of papers endeavours to bridge the gap between contemporary research in Platonist philosophy and other fields where insights gained from the study of Plato and Platonist philosophy can be of consequence and benefit. Authors: Werner Beierwaltes, Luc Brisson, Amber Carpenter, John Dillon, Jonathan Doner, Franco Ferrari, Francesco Fronterotta, F.A.J. de Haas, Aaron Hughes, Byron Kaldis, Daniel Kolak, Thomas Leinkauf, Dionysis Mentzeniotis, Jean-Marc Narbonne, Giannis Stamatellos, Vladimir Stoupel, Patrick Quinn, Jure Zovko and Marie-Élize Zovko

Take a magic carpet ride through Disney’s wonderful world of films and entertainment experiences, and discover the wisdom within its most popular and enduring stories Philosophy begins in wonder, and there’s no question that Disney’s immersive worlds and iconic characters have enchanted generations of children and adults alike, inviting us to escape the mundane into a world of fantasy, imagination, and infinite possibility. In Disney and Philosophy, essays from thirty-two deep-thinking Disneyphiles chart a course through the philosophical world of Disney, tapping into the minds of the great sages of the ages—Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Descartes, and Goofy—to explore universal questions of freedom, personal identity, morality, family, and friendship: Can Sleeping Beauty know that she’s not dreaming? Does turning our emotions and memories “inside out” tell us who we are? What can Toy Story and Wall-E teach us about being human? Is hakuna matata really such a problem-free philosophy? If you’ve ever asked who you are, what is right, or what your purpose is, Disney and Philosophy will spark your curiosity and imagination with a whole new world of unexpected insight into the Magic Kingdom.

Book Description
SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS COLLECTION [22 BOOKS] — Quality Formatting and Value — Active Index, Multiple Table of Contents for all Books — Multiple Illustrations Thomas Aquinas, O.P., was an Italian Dominican friar, Catholic priest, and Doctor of the Church. He was an immensely influential philosopher, theologian, and jurist in the tradition of scholasticism, within which he is also known as the Doctor Angelicus and the Doctor Communis. The name Aquinas identifies his ancestral origins in the county of Aquino in present-day Lazio, where his family held land until 1137. He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy developed or opposed his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law, metaphysics, and political theory. Unlike many currents in the Church of the time, Thomas embraced several ideas put forward by Aristotle—whom he called "the Philosopher"—and attempted to synthesize Aristotelian philosophy with the principles of Christianity. The works for which he is best known are the Summa Theologiae and the Summa contra Gentiles. His commentaries on Sacred Scripture and on Aristotle form an important part of his body of work. Furthermore, Thomas is distinguished for his eucharistic hymns, which form a part of the Church's liturgy. —BOOKS— AN APOLOGY FOR THE RELIGIOUS ORDERS ARISTOTLE ON INTERPRETATION CATENA AUREA: COMMENTARY ON THE FOUR GOSPELS COLLECTED OUT OF THE WORKS OF THE FATHERS: VOLUMES 1 TO 4 COMMENTARY ON ARISTOTLE’S DE ANIMA COMMENTARY ON ARISTOTLE'S PHYSICS COMMENTARY ON THE METAPHYSICS COMPENDIUM OF THEOLOGY DE MEMORIA ET REMINISCENTIA EXPLANATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER EXPLANATION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS NATURE AND GRACE: SELECTIONS FROM THE SUMMA THEOLOGICA OF THOMAS AQUINAS NINETY-NINE HOMILIES OF SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS: UPON THE EPISTLES AND GOSPELS FOR FORTY-NINE SUNDAYS OF THE CHRISTIAN YEAR OF GOD AND HIS CREATURES ON KINGSHIP: TO THE KING OF CYPRUS ON THE POWER OF GOD REFUTATION OF THE PERNICIOUS TEACHING OF THOSE WHO WOULD DETER MEN FROM ENTERING RELIGIOUS LIFE THE BREAD OF LIFE: OR SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS ON THE ADORABLE SACRAMENT OF THE ALTAR THE PERFECTION OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE THE RELIGIOUS STATE: THE EPISCOPATE AND THE PRIESTLY OFFICE THE SOUL THE SUMMA CONTRA GENTILES THE SUMMA THEOLOGICA: COMPLETE EDITION PUBLISHER: AETERNA PRESS

Book Description
The present book entitled the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light is a work of philosophy that deepens both ontological and gnoseological themes, regarding the Existence of God and implicitly ours. I have said many times, so far, that philosophy is the religion of the future.At the base of the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light is the philosophical-religious system called Coaxialism, published in its final form in the book entitled Coaxialism - Final Edition, but also the Collection of Wisdom consisting of 16,777 aphorisms structured according to certain themes, published in its final form in the book entitled, The Wisdom Collection: 16. 777 Philosophical Aphorisms- 2020 Edition. The God of the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light is not a dictatorial God who demands total submission from Man so that Man can benefit from a Paradise after Death, but is a God of Man's rediscovery in his own Self. The God of this World is the Creator Factor and Unique-Incidentally, who is defined through a Meaning that forms a Word. In the Parallel Universes there are an infinity of Creator Factors and Unique-Incidentally where each one in part is a Meaning that in turn determines a Word in the respective Universe, Word from which the respective Universe was formed, as well as our Universe in turn, was formed from the Word of our own Creator Factor and Unique -Incidentally. The totality of the Creator Factors and Unique-Incidentally, that is, the totality of the Meanings which determine, in their turn, each in part, a Word, form the Universal Pure Language, which in its totality determines the Consciousness Unique and Incidentally of the Universal Unique Expression which is the Supreme God, the Supreme Intelligence of all Universes whose number is infinite as is infinite and the number of the Words defined in turn, each in part, by the Creator Factors and Unique -Incidentally. The Unique-Incidentally Consciousness of the Universal Unique Expression always KNOWS where it is and what namely it does, each atom in part, each elementary particle in part, from each Universe which in turn together with all the other Universes makes up the infinity of Universes. I have always said that we are from before us, that is, we are a reflection of what was and from here comes the Destiny that cannot be changed, and the Free Will is an Illusion from the great range of the Illusions of Life. Everything that will Happen in our Future has Happened and has been in our Past before it was Time. Thus, the spiritual Energy of our Soul is allowed to pass through the Happenings that the Illusion of our own Life renders to us as being something new, even though they were, long before us. We are a quantum of energy, which flows through a reflection of the World that was before Time, a World through whose reflection we flow in the so-called Present, with our own spiritual energies of the Soul, having the false sensation of, Time, Past, Present and Future. From this flowing of ours, through the reflection of that World in the Mirror of Knowledge, we have the feeling that we are living our own Life even though in reality we are living our own Illusion of Life. In conclusion, we are only a quantum of energy which flows through the reflected images of the World that was somewhere - sometime, from before Time. As those images of the World in whose reflection we have the Illusion that we live cannot be changed, so neither our Destiny cannot be changed, because it flows once with the spiritual energies of our Souls, through the images of that World, which cannot be changed by us, because that World was before us. Thus, precisely the Illusion of Life that gives us the so-called Free Will, he which in reality does not exist, she, the Illusion of Life is the one that can help us to improve or worsen the spiritual energy of our Soul. Hence, results the necessity of the Illusion of Life in this World. Thus, once we travel through this World with Happenings that were long Before we believed that it Happens, accompanied by the Illusion of Life that makes us believe in the existence of Free Will, we go through, all sorts of Trials, that are the spiritual relief forms of this World, which is a reflection of what was, somewhere - sometime and from here comes the ineffable Destiny. Destiny is ineffable because it cannot be changed, because neither the World through whose reflection we pass can never be changed. Thus, the religions that have developed in this World, did not appear Incidentally, but they existed in the Initial World that was reflected in the Mirror of our Knowledge, a World that was, long Before us. In that World was also Jesus Christ, and the other Great Prophets such as the Prophet Muhammad, the Buddha, Moses, etc. What Happened on Earth, that is, in our World, was that some Souls who were so spiritually perfect had the approval of God, to travel through this World in the bodies of these Great Prophets, just as each of us have the acceptance of God, to travel through this World in our own bodies, which are some vehicles that take us from the destination of Birth to the destination of Death. These vehicles which are our bodies, they too, are, in turn, a reflection of a World that was long Before us. Due to these things, every Man is born under the specter of a certain Religion which has been left so by God through Destiny to Happen. The appearance of the Great Prophets was due to the Destiny. Jesus Christ, did not appear from Nothingness, Incidentally in our World, but was left namely to Happen in this way, by God, because God is the one who let the Mirror of Knowledge through which we to can become Aware of this World. That's exactly why every Man is good to follow the Religion existing in the area where he was born and to respect the Religions of other People born in other areas where there are other kinds of Religions, until these will be replaced or not, by other Religions, or philosophical and religious systems, with the Will of God, that is, on the understanding of some, in a natural way and not forced by anyone. Even Atheism is in itself a Religion, precisely through the fact that it is based on a certain Faith, where God is represented through the Laws of the Universe. It has been speculated about me that in the book The Evil I do not make a clear distinction between the Evil necessary for the existence of Good, and the Devil. Evil is necessary for the existence of Good just as Good is necessary for the existence of Evil. Evil can often be a far greater Good than Good and vice versa, Good can sometimes be a far greater Evil than Evil. Instead with what I do not agree and can really be considered an Evil that can be Devilish, is for example Wickedness. About wickedness, I have developed an entire chapter in the book entitled The Far Future of Mankind, Philosophical Aphorisms, the Chapter of Wickedness, aphorisms 1-227, a book which in turn is part of The Wisdom Collection : 16,777 Philosophical Aphorisms, which in turn is part from this book entitled The Illuminati Bible of Divine Light. Thus, Wickedness is something demonic which must be combated, because the Evil it brings does not serve the Good than in a much lesser extent, than the Good could serve, the Evil from this Wickedness. If we are to attribute Wickedness to the Devil, then we must certainly avoid him, as much as we can. In conclusion, Evil and Good are the attributes of God when Evil can help the Good and of the Devil when Evil can not help the Good than an even greater Evil. There is all sorts of speculation concerning the fact that I would have stated in Coaxialism that Man thinks only with a tiny percentage of the brain. I even said that Man does not think than with 2 percent from his brain. I stated this in the context in which I wanted to express that only a tiny percentage of the cognitive total we use would have any connection with the Absolute Truth through this interweaving of Illusions of the Life through which we travel during our own Life. In reality, I think that, that two percent percentage is very high and in reality it would not be, not even that much. And the brain in turn, is also an Illusion from the arsenal of the Illusions of Life, so the so-called ability of the human brain to process data is an Illusion as great, as our own Illusion of Life is. It is irrelevant whether or not Man uses his entire brain in the thought process once his entire thought process is subjected to the Illusion of Life and due to this fact the Man's thinking is not anchored by even two percent to the Absolute Truth. With the appearance of my first philosophical studies but also of aphorisms, I initially published the book entitled Bible of the Light and then a more complete form of the book Bible of the Light was the book entitled The Illuminati Bible, so that in present to publish the full form of the Bible, which I felt that it will be perfected with the help of God, and which I decided to call the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light. Some will wonder why I chose this name of The Illuminati Bible starting with that book published in 2014, the content of which is also in this book called the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light which in turn contains many other parts? Simple. Firstly because I wanted to help, in Good, the Karma of this World, because Illuminati and Enlightenment are spoken of in negative terms, and secondly because Illuminati comes from Enlightenment, and true Enlightenment cannot bring the Evil, nor can it be the Evil, vile. True Enlightenment must be based only on Good and never on bringing the Evil as the supreme Wickedness. Therefore, in order to improve the Karma of Mankind, I show that Enlightenment does not consist in Wickedness but in combating Wickedness. The enlightened ones cannot be a hidden group of people who lead humanity out of the shadows committing all sorts of evils and abuses to maintain power.These people are by no means Enlightened but Dark. If there really are some in such a situation then they use the term Illuminati or Enlightened falsely. How, just as Dark are those who dirtyly attack on the true Illuminati or Enlightened only out of obscure interests of a religious nature, for fear that the Enlightened ones might open the souls of the People and show them the Way to the Truth from which some high prelates that are at the head of certain churches flee, who are afraid that, if the Truth would be found, they will lose both their financial and their decision-making power. I believe that the future will belong to those truly Enlightened, the true Illuminati. A thing is to use Evil to bring through it, Good and another is to use Evil to bring through it the Wickedness. The true Enlightened and not Dark are those who understand that the Evil can only be used for Good when he can do it, and the Good only for the Evil less Evil, when the Good itself can lead to destruction, disaster or pain. The real Bad People, the Dark Ones, are the ones who use both Good and Evil to do as much as possible Evil and not Good. Mankind must understand that the Evil and Good, the God and the Devil are an Entity with two distinct characteristics, an Entity that defines our True God, that is, our Creator Factor and Unique-Incidentally. Therefore, in order to improve the Karma of this World, we will have to pray to the Universal Consciousness formed by the Universal Pure Language.That is, to pray to the Divine Light of all the Worlds, the Supreme God of Intelligence, which to inspire our thoughts so that to use in moderation both Good and Evil, for the ultimate purpose of doing and bringing through us as much as possible Good. Why didn't I let in continuation the name of the Illuminati Bible and to this new, much deeper work of the Bible and call it the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light ? Because compared to the other book called the Illuminati Bible, the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light contains in addition to the content of that book many other new chapters that appeared with the new Wisdom Collections or with the final form of the Coaxialism. In the last edition of the Wisdom Collection, I published six other new books of philosophical aphorisms, bringing the Collection of Wisdom to a total of 16,777 philosophical aphorisms. The last books refer to topics such as those related, to Justice, to the World after Death, to the philosophy of Artificial Intelligence, to the far Future of Mankind, etc. All this highlights not only a Bible with concepts like the one I called the Illuminati Bible but also one that fully reflects my thinking and faith as a whole, which is based on my philosophical-religious system called Coaxialism, and therefore, the book could not be called otherwise than the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light. Especially since in this book, entitled the Illuminati Bible of Divine Light, there is also the final form of my philosophical-religious system called Coaxialism, where I refer to Transcendental Coaxiological Mathematics but also to Mathematical Psychology. I am convinced that philosophy, Coaxialism, will become part of the Religion of the Future, a Religion whose churches will be the souls of the People. Yes, I want that the soul of every Man to be a Temple of worship, Enlightened by the Divine Light of Absolute Truth, whose Thought is reflected by the Universal Consciousness of the Universal Pure Language. A Language whose Words are infinite, and of all these Words, one of them is our God, that is, our Creator Factor and Unique-Incidentally, who gave birth to this World. Sorin Cerin July 7, 2021
