On Love and Tyranny
Author: Ann Heberlein
Publisher: House of Anansi
ISBN: 1487008120
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
In an utterly unique approach to biography, On Love and Tyranny traces the life and work of the iconic German Jewish intellectual Hannah Arendt, whose political philosophy and understandings of evil, totalitarianism, love, and exile prove essential amid the rise of the refugee crisis and authoritarian regimes around the world. What can we learn from the iconic political thinker Hannah Arendt? Well, the short answer may be: to love the world so much that we think change is possible. The life of Hannah Arendt spans a crucial chapter in the history of the Western world, a period that witnessed the rise of the Nazi regime and the crises of the Cold War, a time when our ideas about humanity and its value, its guilt and responsibility, were formulated. Arendt’s thinking is intimately entwined with her life and the concrete experiences she drew from her encounters with evil, but also from love, exile, statelessness, and longing. This strikingly original work moves from political themes that wholly consume us today, such as the ways in which democracies can so easily become totalitarian states; to the deeply personal, in intimate recollections of Arendt’s famous lovers and friends, including Heidegger, Benjamin, de Beauvoir, and Sartre; and to wider moral deconstructions of what it means to be human and what it means to be humane. On Love and Tyranny brings to life a Hannah Arendt for our days, a timeless intellectual whose investigations into the nature of evil and of love are eerily and urgently relevant half a century later.

De taalhacker
Author: Wyner, Gabriel
Publisher: Maven Publishing
ISBN: 9491845454
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Gabriel Wyner moest voor zijn werk als operazanger perfect Italiaans, Frans, Russisch en Duits leren. Gefrustreerd door de traditionele lesmethoden, en gefascineerd door taalwetenschap en de werking van het brein, ontwikkelde hij een betere manier om talen te leren. De taalhacker is eigenwijs, superpraktisch en een genot om te lezen. In plaats van een strenge leraar is Wyner een doelgerichte hacker die je uitnodigt om met hem mee te doen. Hij maakt gebruik van shortcuts en tegendraadse inzichten en spoort je aan om een taal bij de lurven te grijpen. Maar bovenal maakt hij van talen leren weer het spannende en meeslepende avontuur dat het altijd al hoorde te zijn.

EEN GEWILLIG VOLK DOOR DE LIEFDE VAN CHRISTUS I
Author: WILLIAM HUNTINGTON
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1471003663
Category : Religion
Languages : nl
Pages : 342
Book Description
William Huntington (1745-1813) was in alles uniek. Goddeloos in z'n onbekeerd leven, krachtdadig geroepen, onder zeer zware overtuigingen, doorgebroken in het geloof in Jezus Christus, in Wie hij zo'n onuitsprekelijke liefde ondervond, zoals het zelden in het geestelijk huisgezin voorkomt. Geroepen tot leraar, heeft hij twee extreme ervaringen meegemaakt. Hem trof een buitensporige vijandschap van de kant van de wereld en van de godsdienstige mensen en voorgangers. Zijn preken werden echter ook voor zo'n groot aantal mensen gezegend, dat hij zeer vruchtbaar genoemd mag worden. Het duurde lang eer zijn geschriften vertaald werden. Toen ze met tussenpozen van de pers rolden, kregen z'n preken in Nederland hetzelfde onthaal als in Engeland: veracht en verdacht maar ook gebruikt en rijk gezegend. De beste wijn wordt soms tot het laatst bewaard. Deze bundel bevat 14 preken over diverse onderwerpen.

The Caged Virgin
Author: Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743299906
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Muslims who explore sources of morality other than Islam are threatened with death, and Muslim women who escape the virgins' cage are branded whores. So asserts Ayaan Hirsi Ali's profound meditation on Islam and the role of women, the rights of the individual, the roots of fanaticism, and Western policies toward Islamic countries and immigrant communities. Hard-hitting, outspoken, and controversial, The Caged Virgin is a call to arms for the emancipation of women from a brutal religious and cultural oppression and from an outdated cult of virginity. It is a defiant call for clear thinking and for an Islamic Enlightenment. But it is also the courageous story of how Hirsi Ali herself fought back against everyone who tried to force her to submit to a traditional Muslim woman's life and how she became a voice of reform. Born in Somalia and raised Muslim, but outraged by her religion's hostility toward women, Hirsi Ali escaped an arranged marriage to a distant relative and fled to the Netherlands. There, she learned Dutch, worked as an interpreter in abortion clinics and shelters for battered women, earned a college degree, and started a career in politics as a Dutch parliamentarian. In November 2004, the violent murder on an Amsterdam street of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, with whom Hirsi Ali had written a film about women and Islam called Submission, changed her life. Threatened by the same group that slew van Gogh, Hirsi Ali now has round-the-clock protection, but has not allowed these circumstances to compromise her fierce criticism of the treatment of Muslim women, of Islamic governments' attempts to silence any questioning of their traditions, and of Western governments' blind tolerance of practices such as genital mutilation and forced marriages of female minors occurring in their countries. Hirsi Ali relates her experiences as a Muslim woman so that oppressed Muslim women can take heart and seek their own liberation. Drawing on her love of reason and the Enlightenment philosophers on whose principles democracy was founded, she presents her firsthand knowledge of the Islamic worldview and advises Westerners how best to address the great divide that currently exists between the West and Islamic nations and between Muslim immigrants and their adopted countries. An international bestseller -- with updated information for American readers and two new essays added for this edition -- The Caged Virgin is a compelling, courageous, eye-opening work.
