Introduction to Rijal Studies
Author: Ayatollah Shaykh Baqir al-Irawani
Publisher: ICAS Press
ISBN: 1907905340
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
How is the reliability of a hadith narrator established? What distinguishes an ‘authentic’ tradition from a ‘weak’ tradition? How authentic are our hadith collections? The study of hadith transmitters (‘ilm al-rijal) is one of the most important disciplines in the analysis of textual accounts. It focuses on evaluating the reliability of people who transmitted narrations attributed to Prophet Muhammad and his successors and aims to categorise traditions into graded levels of authenticity and reliability. This book is an English translation of Durus Tamhidiyyah fi al-Qawa‘id al-Rijaliyyah, a widely-used textbook in Islamic seminaries. Designed with beginners to the subject in mind, the book is written in a clear and succinct manner and includes numerous worked examples and revision questions at the end of each chapter. Among the topics investigated by the author are the methodology used to establish the reliability of narrators, the general classifications of reliability, the validity of a rijali expert’s view, the types of traditions, and the major hadith and rijal books.

The Jaina Worldview
Author: Lucas den Boer
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000901084
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This book is an analysis of the philosophical chapters of the Tattvārthādhigama (TA), a foundational text for the Jaina tradition and the first text that presented the Jaina worldview in a clear and systematic way. The book also includes the first English translation of its oldest commentary, the Tattvārthādhigamabhāṣya (TABh). Focusing on the philosophical sections of the TA and TABh, which deviate from the traditional views and introduce several new concepts for the Jaina tradition, the analysis suggests that the TA and the TABh were written by different authors, and that both texts contain several historical layers. The texts reflect aspects of the concurrent intellectual movements, and the textual analysis includes comparisons with the views of other schools, such as the Nyāya and Vaiśeṣika traditions, and offers an in-depth analysis of the philosophical content of these works. The appendix contains an English translation from the original Sanskrit text of the TA and provides the first English translation of the commentary on these passages from the TABh. Situating the text in the wider history of Indian philosophy, the book offers a better understanding of the role of the Jainas in the history of Indian thought. It will be of interest to those studying Indian philosophy, Indian thought and Asian religions.

Ecological Understanding
Author: Steward T.A. Pickett
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080504973
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Ecology is an historical science in which theories can be as difficult to test as they are to devise. This volume, intended for ecologists and evolutionary biologists, reviews ecological theories, and how they are generated, evaluated, and categorized. Synthesizing a vast and sometimes labyrinthine literature, this book is a useful entry into the scientific philosophy of ecology and natural history. The need for integration of the contributions to theory made by different disciplines is a central theme of this book. The authors demonstrate that only through such integration will advances in ecological theory be possible. Ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and other serious students of natural history will want this book.

The Cult of Smart
Author: Fredrik deBoer
Publisher: All Points Books
ISBN: 1250200385
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Named one of Vulture’s Top 10 Best Books of 2020! Leftist firebrand Fredrik deBoer exposes the lie at the heart of our educational system and demands top-to-bottom reform. Everyone agrees that education is the key to creating a more just and equal world, and that our schools are broken and failing. Proposed reforms variously target incompetent teachers, corrupt union practices, or outdated curricula, but no one acknowledges a scientifically-proven fact that we all understand intuitively: Academic potential varies between individuals, and cannot be dramatically improved. In The Cult of Smart, educator and outspoken leftist Fredrik deBoer exposes this omission as the central flaw of our entire society, which has created and perpetuated an unjust class structure based on intellectual ability. Since cognitive talent varies from person to person, our education system can never create equal opportunity for all. Instead, it teaches our children that hierarchy and competition are natural, and that human value should be based on intelligence. These ideas are counter to everything that the left believes, but until they acknowledge the existence of individual cognitive differences, progressives remain complicit in keeping the status quo in place. This passionate, voice-driven manifesto demands that we embrace a new goal for education: equality of outcomes. We must create a world that has a place for everyone, not just the academically talented. But we’ll never achieve this dream until the Cult of Smart is destroyed.
