Mystery in Life
Author: Mark Charles Steffen
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1449703151
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
In our age of knowledge we can quickly become over-informed while remaining under developedlong on facts but short on understanding; loaded with data but lacking in practical, life-transforming wisdom. This book helps put meat on popular theory-bones by addressing the heart behind the curtain of outward life. People today seek purpose and meaning, and authentic faith in something larger than themselves that gives hope. Hope leads to healthy human life, which is characterized by joy and wonder. Such healthy life rests on equilibrium between truth and spirit, mind and heart, reason and mystery. But life out of balance is like a wobbly wheel: it seems chaotic and random. This this book facilitates an awakening to the spiritual aspects of everyday life, and in so doing makes us better able to handle what life throws at us each day. Although we will never fully understand or completely enjoy all the holy mysteries available to us, we can learn to do so more and more, because like life, we are dynamic; we are ever growing, changing and evolving. Readers are led to discover how they can enhance their ability to appreciate and benefit from the mysteries of life. Our world is desperate for hope and joy, which comes from exploring our spirituality. Such hope and joy is available to all!

Freedom and Self-Creation
Author: Katherin A. Rogers
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191061549
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Katherin A. Rogers presents a new theory of free will, based on the thought of Anselm of Canterbury. We did not originally produce ourselves. Yet, according to Anselm, we can engage in self-creation, freely and responsibly forming our characters by choosing 'from ourselves' (a se) between open options. Anselm introduces a new, agent-causal libertarianism which is parsimonious in that, unlike other agent-causal theories, it does not appeal to any unique and mysterious powers to explain how the free agent chooses. After setting out Anselm's original theory, Rogers defends and develops it by addressing a series of standard problems levelled against libertarianism. These include the problem of 'internalism--in that an agent is not the source of his original motivations, how can the structure of his choice ground his responsibility?; the problem of Frankfurt-style counterexamples--Do we really need open options to choose freely?; and the problem of luck--If nothing about an agent before he chooses explains his choice, then isn't the choice just dumb luck? (The Anselmian answer to this perennial criticism is especially innovative, proposing that the critic has the relationship between choices and character exactly backwards.) Finally, as a theory about self-creation, Anselmian Libertarianism must defend the tracing thesis, the claim that an agent can be responsible for character-determined choices, if he, himself, formed his character through earlier a se choices. Throughout, the book defends and exemplifies a new methodological suggestion: someone debating free will ought to make his background world view explicit. In the on-going debate over the possibility of human freedom and responsibility, Anselmian Libertarianism constitutes a new and plausible approach.

A Basic Theory of Everything
Author: Atle Ottesen Søvik
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110770954
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
What are the basic building blocks of the world? This book presents a naturalistic theory saying that the universe and everything in it can be reduced to three fundamental entities: a field, a set of values that can be actualized at different places in the field, and an actualizer of the values. The theory is defended by using it to answer the main questions in metaphysics, such as: What is causality, existence, laws of nature, consciousness, thinking, free will, time, mathematical entities, ethical values, etc.? The theory is compared with the main alternatives and argued to solve problems better than the existing theories. Several new theories are suggested, such as how to understand mental causation, free will and the truth of ethics and mathematics.
