Book Description
In Reaching For Reality: Fascinating Impossibilities, Rick Miller takes readers on a journey of reflection through the miraculous events that have shaped and transformed his life. From electrocution and near drowning, to a deranged hitchhiker and a power saw gone mad, to the resurrection from his death bed through the intervention of loving beings human and divine, Rick's memoir of miracles awakens and empowers us with wisdom, appreciation and tools to encounter those experiences which would help us to grow and evolve if we only had the courage, the knowledge, or the guidance to interpret them for what they are. Like so many survivors, Rick asks himself throughout the book, 'Why did I survive? What is my purpose in life.'

The Core Values of Chinese Civilization
Author: Lai Chen
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811033676
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Drawing on the core values of western civilization, the author refines the counterparts in Chinese civilization, summarized as four core principles: duty before freedom, obedience before rights, community before individual, and harmony before conflict. Focusing on guoxue or Sinology as the basis of his approach, the author provides detailed explanations of traditional Chinese values. Recent scholars have addressed the concept of guoxue since the modern age, sorting through it and piecing it together, which has produced an extremely abundant range of information. However, given that the concepts and theories involved have been left largely unanalyzed, this book develops a theoretical treatment of them in several important respects. First, it analyzes the mindset of guoxue, examining the dominant ideas and values of the era from which the term “guoxue” arose, focusing on its connection to early changes and trends in society and culture, and distinguishing three key phases of development. Past scholars mainly had in mind the range of objects studied in guoxue when defining it, and what this book underscores is the meaning of guoxue as a modern body of research. Secondly, it assesses several phases in the modern evolution of the body of guoxue research from the beginning to the end of the 20th century, i.e., ending with the later phase of the National Heritage movement. Third and lastly, the book explores the various main modes of modern guoxue, which correspond step by step with the evolutionary phases of guoxue research.
