Socrates, The Original and its Images
Author: Alan F. Blum
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429837283
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This book, first published in 1978, is a radical approach to the philosophical distinction between Being and beings, in which the life of Socrates is used as the metaphor for the theoretical life, in contrast to the continuous historical interest in that life as an object for biographical reconstruction and description. Professor Blum’s main concern is to develop a story that coordinates stages of the theoretical life to practices which exemplify man’s ideal relationship with language.

A Revolutionary Jesus
Author: Jesse P. Nickel
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1506483364
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This book is about Jesus's perspective on violence, the ways this is demonstrated in his ministry, and its implications for Jesus's followers. It begins by examining the nature and role of violence within Second Temple Jewish eschatology. "Eschatological violence"--violence connected in some way with eschatological expectations--was an important factor in the world of Jesus and his contemporaries. Many believed that God's long-awaited deliverance was contingent on his people's taking up the sword against their oppressors, thus demonstrating their zealous allegiance to the covenant. In contrast, Jesus articulated and enacted a vision for God's reign in which violence was completely disassociated both from the means of the kingdom's inauguration and from the character of those who belonged to it. This was a kingdom defined by peace, whose people would be identified by peacemaking, exemplified by its Lord, whose victory was accomplished in giving his own life. Jesus's rejection of violence thus grew from the very core of his understanding of his task, his identity, and the character of the kingdom. To be a disciple is to follow Jesus's teaching and example. Therefore, it is clear that violence should have no place in Christian praxis.

Perpetrators’ Legacies
Author: Vladimir Biti
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040152538
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The book presents Winfried Georg Sebald and Ian McEwan as paradigmatic post-imperial writers who enmeshed in the hierarchies of power inherited from their imperial times, strive to disentangle themselves from that burdensome legacy. To achieve this, they undertake a subtle detachment from the analogously implicated subject positions of their protagonists. In Sebald’s works, these positions are closer to the historical victims of the Third Reich who used to suppress their past experiences, whereas in McEwan’s works, they incline toward the systemic ‘beneficiaries’ of the British Empire who used to overlook their present privileges. However, in distinction to their protagonists’ denied involvements, both authors recognize their implication in their protagonists’ pasts and presents. Such a detachment from familiar protagonists requires the consent of unknown and scattered readers with whom they forge a long-distance solidarity, connective association or complicitous alliance. Thus, to exempt themselves from one complicity, they enter another one.

Angels on Loan
Author: Carmen Belle White
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1452564337
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Carmen Belle White has suffered human tragedy on an epic scale. After an abortion in her late teens, she endured four miscarriages plus the loss of a beautiful little baby son just days after birth. These were her "angels on loan," as she came to call them, but even they are only part of her remarkable story. For more than thirty years, Carmen was trapped in a private hell. No one—her parents, her teachers, least of all herself—understood. Gradually, the truth emerged—thanks to Harry, her autistic son. Harry's life changed instantly and dramatically when, as an infant, he had what should have been a routine MMR injection. It became painfully apparent that Harry was an autistic child. Carmen faced the supreme challenge of raising a boy with learning difficulties and behavioral patterns that were totally alien to those around them. In the process, it slowly dawned on Carmen that she herself had shared many similar sensory issues that would explain her own struggle. In an amazing sequence of events and experiences, Harry became the teacher that his mother had so sadly lacked. His love and wisdom enabled both to discover each other and to take "bonding" to a whole new level. Angels on Loan is an immensely personal story of mutual understanding and love. It is a tale of triumph over mountainous odds and demonstrates beyond doubt that love will heal almost anything if you allow it.
