Takashi Shogimen, Vicki A. Spencer, "Visions of Peace: Asia and The West" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1409428702 | PDF | pages: 208 | 9.9 mb Visions of Peace: Asia and the West explores the diversity of past conceptualizations as well as the remarkable continuity in the hope for peace across global intellectual traditions. Current literature, prompted by September 11, predominantly focuses on the laws and ethics of just wars or modern ideals of peace. Asian and Western ideals of peace before the modern era have largely escaped scholarly attention. This book examines Western and Asian visions of peace that existed prior to c.1800 by bringing together experts from a variety of intellectual traditions. The historical survey ranges from ancient Greek thought, early Christianity and medieval scholasticism to Hinduism, classical Confucianism and Tokuguwa Japanese learning, before illuminating unfamiliar aspects of peace visions in the European Enlightenment. Each chapter offers a particular case study and attempts to rehabilitate a 'forgotten' conception of peace and reclaim its contemporary relevance. Collectively they provide the conceptual resources to inspire more creative thinking towards a new vision of peace in the present. Students and specialists in international relations, peace studies, history, political theory, philosophy, and religious studies will find this book a valuable resource on diverse conceptions of peace.
 Virus as a Summons to Faith: Biblical Reflections in a Time of Loss, Grief, and Uncertainty By Walter Brueggemann 2020 | 92 Pages | ISBN: 1725276739 | PDF | 1 MB Why bother with the interpretive categories of biblical faith when in fact our energy and interest are focused on more immediate matters? The answer is simple and obvious. We linger because, in the midst of our immediate preoccupation with our felt jeopardy and our hope for relief, our imagination does indeed range beyond the immediate to larger, deeper wonderments. Our free-ranging imagination is not finally or fully contained in the immediacy of our stress, anxiety, and jeopardy. Beyond these demanding immediacies, we have a deep sense that our life is not fully contained in the cause-and-effect reasoning of the Enlightenment that seeks to explain and control. There is more than that and other than that to our life in God's world!

 E Cram, "Violent Inheritance: Sexuality, Land, and Energy in Making the North American West (Volume 3) " English | ISBN: 0520379462 | 2022 | 292 pages | PDF | 26 MB Violent Inheritance deepens the analysis of settler colonialism's endurance in the North American West and how infrastructures that ground sexual modernity are both reproduced and challenged by publics who have inherited them. E Cram redefines sexual modernity through extractivism, wherein sexuality functions to extract value from life including land, air, minerals, and bodies. Analyzing struggles over memory cultures through the region's land use controversies at the turn of and well into the twentieth century, Cram unpacks the consequences of western settlement and the energy regimes that fueled it. Transfusing queer eco-criticism with archival and ethnographic research, Cram reconstructs the linkages-"land lines"-between infrastructure, violence, sexuality, and energy and shows how racialized sexual knowledges cultivated settler colonial cultures of both  Rosamund Bartlett, Sarah Dadswell, "Victory Over the Sun: The World's First Futurist Opera" English | 2012 | pages: 362 | ISBN: 0859898393 | PDF | 28,3 mb The futurist opera Victory Over the Sun-written by Aleksei Kruchenykh and first performed in St. Petersburg in December 1913-was central to the Russian avant-garde, important for its libretto, its fragmentary, modernistic score, and its innovative sets and costumes.

REV Thomas Santa C SS R, "Understanding Scrupulosity: 3rd Edition of Questions and Encouragement" English | 2017 | ISBN: 0764825275 | EPUB | pages: 308 | 0.3 mb Many people, at one time or another, struggle with faith issues about sin, guilt, punishment, and hell. But a small few, particularly Catholics, so fear offending God-or fear never being forgiven by God-that they are unable to participate in daily life without experiencing severe doubt and anxiety. Rather than experiencing faith as a source of peace, their faith causes them to dwell on or second guess every decision they make. |
