![]() Free Download Lisa Sowle Cahill, "Blessed Are the Peacemakers: Pacifism, Just War, and Peacebuilding" English | ISBN: 1506431658 | 2019 | 380 pages | EPUB | 2 MB This book is a contribution to the Christian ethics of war and peace. It advances peacebuilding as a needed challenge to and expansion of the traditional framework of just-war theory and pacifism. It builds on a critical reading of historical landmarks from the Bible through Augustine, Aquinas, the Reformers, Christian peace movements, and key modern figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Reinhold Niebuhr, and recent popes. Similar to just-war theory, peacebuilding is committed to social change and social justice but includes some theorists and practitioners who accept the use of force in extreme cases of self-defense or humanitarian intervention. Unlike just-war theorists, they do not see the justification of war as part of the Christian mission. Unlike traditional pacifists, they do see social change as necessary and possible and, as such, requiring Christian participation in public efforts.
![]() Free Download Blanks, Print, Space, and Void in English Renaissance Literature: An Archaeology of Absence by Jonathan Sawday English | October 28, 2023 | ISBN: 0192845640 | True EPUB | 592 pages | 8.7 MB Blanks, Print, Space, and Void in English Renaissance Literature is an inquiry into the empty spaces encountered not just on the pages of printed books in c.1500-1700, but in Renaissance culture more generally. The book argues that print culture in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries helped to foster the modern idea of the 'gap' (where words, texts, images, and ideas are constructed as missing, lost, withheld, fragmented, or perhaps never devised in the first place). It re-imagines how early modern people reacted not just to printed books and documents of many different kinds, but also how the very idea of emptiness or absence began to be fashioned in a way which still surrounds us. ![]() Free Download Joshua Schouten de Jel, "Blake and Lucretius: The Atomistic Materialism of the Selfhood " English | ISBN: 3030888878 | 2021 | 276 pages | EPUB | 656 KB This book demonstrates the way in which William Blake aligned his idiosyncratic concept of the Selfhood - the lens through which the despiritualised subject beholds the material world - with the atomistic materialism of the Epicurean school as it was transmitted through the first-century BC Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius' De Rerum Natura. By addressing this philosophical debt, this study sets out a threefold re-evaluation of Blake's work: to clarify the classical stream of Blake's philosophical heritage through Lucretius; to return Blake to his historical moment, a thirty-year period from 1790 to 1820 which has been described as the second Lucretian moment in England; and to employ a new exegetical model for understanding the phenomenological parameters and epistemological frameworks of Blake's mythopoeia. Accordingly, it is revealed that Blake was not only aware of classical atomistic cosmogony and sense-based epistemology but that he systematically mapped postlapsarian existence onto an Epicurean framework. ![]() Free Download Blackness Visible: Essays on Philosophy and Race by Charles W. Mills English | April 7, 1998 | ISBN: 080143467X, 0801484715 | True EPUB | 272 pages | 1.2 MB "This is an important collection. Its organizing theme is that by analyzing the metaphysics of race-creating we can understand the importance of political analyses of the racial state. This claim is vital not only for understanding of contemporary racial problems, but also for enriching our understanding of philosophical anthropology." ![]() Free Download Blackmail (BFI Film Classics) by Tom Ryall English | December 27, 1993 | ISBN: 0851703569 | True EPUB | 96 pages | 8.7 MB Alfred Hitchcock's Blackmail (1929) was the first major British sound film. Tom Ryall examines its unusual production history, and places it in the context of Hitchcock's other British films of the period. Is is, Ryall argues, both a considerable work of art in itself, and also one of the first to display those touches we now think of as typically Hitchcockian: a blonde heroine in jeopardy, a surprise killing, some brilliantly manipulated suspense, and a last-reel chase around a familiar public landmark (in this case, the British Museum). There's also a cameo appearance by the director himself, as a harassed traveller on the London Underground. ![]() Free Download Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People by Imani Perry English | January 28, 2025 | ISBN: 0062977393, 0063386275 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 28 MB A surprising and beautiful meditation on the color blue-and its fascinating role in Black history and culture-from National Book Award winner Imani Perry
