A Selection of Short Essays on Simone Weil's Life and Writings
Author: Helen E. Cullen
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039171648
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Simone Weil was an extraordinary French woman who, born in 1909, didn’t have the same freedoms women today enjoy. Despite that, she became a political activist, a teacher, and one of the world’s most well-respected philosophers. By the time she died at the age of thirty-three, Weil had made significant contributions to humanity. In Helen Cullen’s book, A Selection of Short Essays on Simone Weil's Life and Writings, Weil’s background and philosophies on life are laid out and examined. Though many believe that her political leanings had become more conservative over time—as she embraced a more mystical life—Cullen aims to demonstrate how she continued to have very progressive and leftist beliefs until her death. Weil wrote copiously during her short life, addressing many social, political, and religious issues, such as the rights of factory workers during the Second World War. She was an activist during the 1930’s, herself working in factories so she could live the experiences she wrote about. Weil's perspectives on life were heavily influenced by Plato and his philosophy, which Cullen analyzes in her essays. Cullen also spends time examining Weil’s theory of Identical Thought, which some believe is her greatest contribution to humanity. This book of essays offers new insight into one of this world’s greatest female minds, inspiring us to consider how we, too, may contribute to humanity.

Book Description
Runnin’ the family ranch is in my blood; it's my birthright. It’s where I belong. Ain’t no one gonna take that away from me. Especially not a rodeo cowboy named Luke Smith. Bullheaded and arrogant, he plays my last nerve like a fiddle. But Daddy didn’t raise no quitter. I know my place in this world. Now it's time for this cowboy to be put in his: back on the road where he belongs. There’s only one problem. And it’s not the rock-hard abs and chiseled chest he’s rockin’. There’s somethin’ else about him; somethin’ I can’t quite put my finger on. Not that it matters. He’s a rodeo cowboy, and rodeo cowboys are only good at one thing: Leavin’.

A Philosophical Anthropology Drawn from Simone Weil's Life and Writings
Author: Helen E. Cullen
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 152550181X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 570
Book Description
A Philosophical Anthropology Drawn from Simone Weil’s Life & Writings situates Weil’s thought in the time between the two world wars through which she lived, and traces Weil’s consistent conception of a mind-body dualism in the Cartesian sense to a dualism that places the mind within a carnal part of the soul and establishes an eternal part of the soul as the essence of human beings. Helen Cullen argues that in Weil’s early conception of human nature, her Cartesian conception of perception already shows a glimpse of the eternal. Weil’s dualistic conception also forms the basis of her political analysis of the left of her time, and through working in factories and in the fields, she develops a conception of labour as a theory of “action” and “work with a method.” Weil was influenced by leading thinkers of her time, prompting her to do an analysis of current scientific theories. Cullen argues that Weil’s analysis of Christianity, already present in Greek philosophy, shows us a theory of “identical thought” inherited from the East (India and China) and brought forth by peoples around Israel. This theory leads to Weil’s analysis, developed in The Need for Roots, of how we’ve been uprooted through colonization and how we can grow roots in a free local society (both rural and urban).

A Treatise on Afflictions
Author: Thomas Case
Publisher: Digital Puritan Press
ISBN: 1105188337
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
In A Treatise on Afflictions, Thomas Case (1598–1682) generously applies a soothing salve to the wounds of God’s suffering saints. He begins by compassionately illustrating twenty lessons God teaches his children in affliction. He then proceeds to show the advantages wrought by affliction in the lives of languishing believers. He shows why deliverance from suffering should not necessarily be the believer’s primary goal when dark days come, and explains why suffering may sometimes seem to last longer than it should. The author shows from Scripture how affliction and instruction go hand-in-hand in the life of the child of God. This work rings true to the suffering reader because it was written while the author was imprisoned in the Tower of London alongside Thomas Watson, Christopher Love (who was beheaded), and others. Originally titled Correction, Instruction or The Rod and the Word, this classic treatise has been carefully prepared for the benefit of a new generation of Christian readers. It includes a biographical preface by James Reid, and has Scripture references from the English Standard Version (ESV®) embedded in the text as hyperlinks—no wireless connection is needed.

Book Description
The end is near. Everything Alaina and the Kardia warriors have fought for is crumbling around them. Nysa has fallen into disarray under the rule of Lord Wright. Brady has been captured by the assassin, Kakos. They are no closer now to defeating either one than they were a year ago. The brutal attack on Hagion has left Alaina without an army. Those who have stood against Wright and Kakos have been slaughtered, leaving few who are willing to fight. But even as all hope for a peaceful future fades, Alaina's faith grows. She is more determined now than ever to fulfill the prophecy bestowed upon her by the Gods and put an end to war plaguing her people. Even if it means sacrificing her life to do so.
