 Outi Lehtipuu, "Tolerance, Intolerance, and Recognition in Early Christianity and Early Judaism " English | ISBN: 9462984468 | 2021 | 314 pages | PDF | 2 MB This collection of essays investigates signs of toleration, recognition, respect and other positive forms of interaction between and within religious groups of late antiquity. At the same time, it acknowledges that examples of tolerance are significantly fewer in ancient sources than examples of intolerance and are often limited to insiders, while outsiders often met with contempt, or even outright violence. The essays take both perspectives seriously by analysing the complexity pertaining to these encounters. Religious concerns, ethnicity, gender and other social factors central to identity formation were often intertwined and they yielded different ways of drawing the limits of tolerance and intolerance. This book enhances our understanding of the formative centuries of Jewish and Christian religious traditions. It also brings the results of historical inquiry into dialogue with present-day questions of religious tolerance.  Thought-Provoking Play: Political Philosophies in Science Fictional Videogame Spaces from Japan By Martin Roth 2018 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1387438808 | PDF | 34 MB This book considers videogames as spaces of political philosophy.

Several case studies on science fictional videogames from Japan serve to demonstrate this potential for thought-provoking play.  John F. X. Knasas, "Thomistic Existentialism and Cosmological Reasoning" English | ISBN: 081323185X | 2019 | 328 pages | PDF | 2 MB Cosmological reasoning is an important facet of classical arguments for the existence of God, but these arguments have been subject to may criticisms. The thesis of this book is that Thomas Aquinas can dodge many of the classic objections brought against cosmological reasoning. These objections criticize cosmological reasoning for its use of the Principle of Sufficient Reason; its notion of existence as a predicate; its use of ontological reasoning; its reliance on sense realism; its ignoring of the problem of evil; and its susceptibility to the critique of "ontotheology" as famously put forward by Heidegger. All of these objections receive a reply, showing that Aquinas's  This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You, UK Edition by Susan Rogers, Ogi Ogas English | October 6th, 2022 | ISBN: 184792655X, 1529114012 | 288 pages | True EPUB | 2.85 MB Legendary record producer-turned-brain scientist explains why you fall in love with music.  Caroline Sauter Nassima Sahraoui, "Thinking in Constellations" English | ISBN: 1527509222 | 2018 | 250 pages | PDF | 1452 KB With his powerful thought image of the constellation, Walter Benjamin provides a method for the core practices of the Humanities: reading, writing, and thinking. This collection of provocative essays demonstrates how thinking in constellations with Walter Benjamin leads us towards a new understanding of the critical task of the Humanities today: it goes beyond disciplinary boundaries and challenges assumptions of linearity, coherence, and progression inherent in our scholarly praxis. The volume brings some of the most articulate young voices in international Benjamin scholarship together, and takes an interdisciplinary approach, covering wide-ranging fields of knowledgequantum physics, postcolonial studies, natural philosophy, psychoanalysis, film theory, literature, and the arts. Benjamins texts are re-considered in light of thinkers and poets, such as Theodor W. Adorno, Sigmund Freud, Gottfried E. Leibniz, W. G. Sebald, Franz Kafka, or Carlos Martínez Rivas. The critical potential of constellations in Benjamins work and beyond will be of the highest interest for researchers and students in all areas of the Humanities.  There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job By Kikuko Tsumura 2021 | 416 Pages | ISBN: 1526622246 | PDF | 5 MB "[A] 21st-century response to Herman Melville's 'Bartleby, the Scrivener.'"―NPR"A revelation."―TimeA young woman walks into an employment agency and requests a job that has the following traits: it is close to her home, and it requires no reading, no writing, and ideally, very little thinking.Her first gig--watching the hidden-camera feed of an author suspected of storing contraband goods--turns out to be inconvenient. (When can she go to the bathroom?) Her next gives way to the supernatural: announcing advertisements for shops that mysteriously disappear. As she moves from job to job--writing trivia for rice cracker packages; punching entry tickets to a purportedly haunted public park--it becomes increasingly apparent that she's not searching for the easiest job at all, but something altogether more meaningful. And when she finally discovers an alternative to the daily grind, it comes with a price.This is the first time Kikuko Tsumura--winner of Japan's most prestigious literary award--has been translated into English. There's No Such Thing as an Easy Job is as witty as it is unsettling--a jolting look at the maladies of late capitalist life through the unique and fascinating lens of modern Japanese culture.  Esther D. Reed, "Theology for International Law" English | 2013 | ISBN: 0567262065, 0567621502 | PDF | pages: 363 | 1.7 mb Whilst Christian theology is familiar with questions about the relation of church and state, divine and human law, little attention has been devoted to questions of international law. Esther D. Reed offers a systematic engagement with contemporary issues of international law and its relevance for modern theology. Reed discusses numerous issue driven topics, including: challenges to classic just-war thinking from so-called fourth generation warfare, peoples and nationhood within divine providence, the ethics of territorial borders and the militarization of human intervention. By discussing selected biblical texts Reed helps to move the issues of international law higher up the agenda of Christian theology, ethics and moral reasoning.
