Towards Cultural Psychology of Religion Principles, Approaches, Applications (2024)

Free Download Jacob A. v. van Belzen, "Towards Cultural Psychology of Religion: Principles, Approaches, Applications"
English | 2010 | pages: 284 | ISBN: 9048134900, 9401783748 | PDF | 2,7 mb
The aims pursued in this book are quite modest. The text is not an introduction in the traditional sense to any psychological subdiscipline or field of application, nor does it present anything essentially new. Rather, it shows 'work in progress', as it attempts to contribute to an integration of two differently structured, but already existing fields within psychology. In order to explain this, it is probably best to say a few words about how the book came into being and about what it hopes to achieve. As a project, the volume owes very much to others. While lecturing in places ranging from South Africa to Canada and from California through European co- tries to Korea, colleagues have often urged me to come up with a volume on 'c- tural psychology of religion'. For reasons that should become clear in the text, I feel uncomfortable with such a demand. To my understanding, there exists no single cultural psychology of religion. Rather, there are ever expanding numbers of div- gent types of psychologies, some of which are applied to understanding religious aspects of human lives or to researching specific religious phenomena, while others are not. Within this heterogeneous field that is, correctly or not, still designated as 'psychology', there are also many approaches that are sometimes referred to as 'cultural psychology' or as 'culturally sensitive psychologies'. It would be wor- while applying many of these to research on religious phenomena, but at present not too many are in fact so applied.

Free Download Toward a New Interpretation of Plato By Giovanni Reale; John R. Catan; Richard Davies
1996 | 459 Pages | ISBN: 0813208548 | PDF | 25 MB
Translated from the tenth edition and edited by John R. Catan and Richard DaviesSince the beginning of the nineteenth century, the paradigm that has been widely accepted for interpreting Plato has held that the dialogues are fully understandable on their own terms and that the entirety of Plato's doctrine can be found in his writings. This method of interpretation, which Giovanni Reale calls the "traditional paradigm," upheld the textual integrity and autonomy of the dialogues.For Reale, who notes that Plato put his greatest seriousness and commitment into oral teaching, this "traditional paradigm" no longer provides satisfactory explanations of the dialogues. He urges that it be replaced with a new interpretive paradigm, one that was first articulated by scholars at the Tübingen School of Platonic Studies. This new paradigm holds that Plato's written dialogues are not self- sufficient but need to be read together with their author'sUnwritten Doctrines, which were handed down in the oral tradition and attested to by Plato's disciples. According to this paradigm, we risk greatly misunderstanding Plato unless we employ both the direct tradition of his writings and the indirect tradition of theUnwritten Doctrinesto interpret his work.In the book, Reale sets out the history of Plato studies. He shows not only the way this new interpretation breaks with recent orthodoxy but also how it connects with the earliest understandings of Platonic metaphysics. Drawing on the frequently neglected or misunderstood reports about what Plato divulged to his immediate pupils, he illuminates many otherwise obscure passages of the dialogues; in turn, he uses hints found throughout the dialogues to make sense of testimonies that have often seemed to be unreliable. What emerges from the harmonization of Plato's written thought with his oral teachings is aTheory of Principles.In just seven years the book has gone through ten editions in Italy. It is the fruit of an ongoing research project, with centers in both Germany and Italy, that seeks to establish a philologically accurate and philosophically satisfying account of Plato. Though aimed at scholars and graduate students in philosophy,Toward a New Interpretation of Platowill be a reference book for anyone interested in the new direction in Plato studies.Giovanni Reale is director of the Center for Research in Metaphysics and professor of the history of ancient philosophy at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. He is the author of several studies on Plato and on Aristotle, translations of Plato's dialogues into Italian, and the five-volumeA History of Ancient Philosophy.----------------------------------------------"This work . . . rereads the writings of Plato in the light and perspective of the paradigm of the Tübingen School, but it does so on the basis of very precise principles of contemporary epistemology which render the undertaking soundly and convincingly scientific and highly, even fascinatingly readable, resolving with apparent ease and clarity . . . so much that was enigmatic in Plato." --Gregorianum

Free Download Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man's Journey to Climb Farther Than the Eye Can See by Erik Weihenmayer
English | 2001 | ISBN: 0786522844 | 304 Pages | EPUB | 2.4 MB
The incredible, inspiring story of world-class climber Erik Weihenmayer, from the terrible diagnosis that foretold of the loss of his eyesight, to his dream to climb mountains, and finally his quest to reach each of the Seven Summits. Erik Weihenmayer was born with retinoscheses, a degenerative eye disorder that would progressively unravel his retinas. Erik learned from doctors that he was destined to lose his sight by age thirteen. Yet from early on, he was determined to rise above this devastating disability and lead a fulfilling, exciting life. In Touch the Top of the World, Erik recalls his struggle to push past the limits placed on him by his visual impairment-and by a seeing world. He speaks movingly of the role his family played in his battle to break through the barriers of blindness: the mother who prayed for the miracle that would restore her son's sight; the father who encouraged him to strive for that unreachable mountaintop. Erik was the first blind man to summit McKinley. Soon he became the first blind person to scale the infamous 3000-foot rock wall of El Capitan and then Argentina's Aconcagua, the highest peak outside of Asia. He was married to his longtime sweetheart at 13,000 feet on the Shira Plateau on his way to Kilimanjaro's summit, and recently Erik scaled Polar Circus, the 30,000-foot vertical ice wall in Alberta, Canada. Erik's story is about having the vision to dream big; the courage to reach for near impossible goals; and the grit, determination, and ingenuity to transform our lives into "something miraculous."

During the 2011 EFORT Congress in Copenhagen, many interesting topics relating to tribology in total hip arthroplasty were discussed during a special day devoted entirely to the subject. EFORT decided that, given the wide interest in these discussions, publication of the presentations would be warmly welcomed by all fellow professionals who were unable to attend. This book is the result. It provides detailed information on currently used articulating materials and their wear performance. Clinical outcomes are discussed, and important new frontiers are carefully considered.

Free Download Victoria Canning, "Torture and Torturous Violence: Transcending Definitions of Torture"
English | ISBN: 152921842X | 2023 | 196 pages | PDF | 11 MB
There is growing acknowledgement that torture is too narrowly defined in law, and that psychological and/or sexualised violence against women is not adequately recognized as torture. Clearly conceptualising torturous violence, this book offers scholars and practitioners critical reflections on how torture is defined and the implications that narrow definitions may have on survivors. Drawing on over a decade of research and interviews with psychologists, practitioners and women seeking asylum, it sets out the implications of the social silencing of torture, and torturous violence specifically. It invites us to consider alternative ways to understand and address the impacts of physical, sexualized and psychological abuses.
