E. Peters skillfully combines extensive passages from Islamic texts with a fascinating commentary of his own. In so doing, he presents a substantial body of literary evidence that will enable the reader to grasp the bases of Muslim faith and, more, to get some sense of the breadth and depth of Islamic religious culture as a whole. The voices recorded here are those of Muslims engaged in discourse with their God and with each other--historians, lawyers, mystics, and theologians, from the earliest Companions of the Prophet Muhammad down to Ibn Rushd or \"Averroes\" (d. 1198), al-Nawawi (d. 1278), and Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406). These religious seekers lived in what has been called the \"classical\" period in the development of Islam, the era when the exemplary works of law and spirituality were written, texts of such universally acknowledged importance that subsequent generations of Muslims gratefully understood themselves as heirs to an enormously broad and rich legacy of meditation on God's Word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‏ : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‎ \u003c\/strong\u003ePrinceton University Press, 1994.  Reprinted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‏ : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‎ \u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‏ : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e440 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-10 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‏ : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e0691000409\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‏ : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e978-0691000404\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLexile measure \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‏ : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e1270L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‏ : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e1.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‏ : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‎ \u003c\/strong\u003e6 x 1.1 x 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:  Good\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrade Paperback, has notes and highlighting throughout the pages.

His reign was marked by a successful campaign against Parthia, but was overshadowed in later years by plague, an abortive revolt in the eastern provinces, and the deaths of friends and family, including his co-emperor Lucius Verus. A student of philosophy from his earliest youth, he was especially influenced by the first-century Stoic thinker Epictetus. His later reputation rests on his Meditations, written during his later years and never meant for formal publication.

With the rise of science and technology in the 19th century, and our continually improving understanding of the cosmos, writers and thinkers soon began to imagine futures greatly different from the present. Science fiction was born out of the realization that future technoscientific advances could dramatically change the world. Along with the developments described in modern science fiction - space societies, conscious machines, and upgraded human bodies, to name but a few - come a new set of ethical challenges and new forms of ethics. Blackford identifies these issues and their reflection in science fiction. His fascinating book will appeal to anyone with an interest in philosophy or science fiction, or in how they interact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a seasoned, balanced analysis of a major issue in our thinking about the future, seen through the lens of science fiction, a central art of our time.

We call him the father of Western philosophy, but what exactly are his philosophical views? He is famous for his humility, but readers often find him arrogant and condescending. We parrot his claim that \"the unexamined life is not worth living,\" yet take no steps to live examined ones. We know that he was tried, convicted, and executed for \"corrupting the youth,\" but freely assign Socratic dialogues to today's youths, to introduce them to philosophy. We've lost sight of what made him so dangerous. In \u003cem\u003eOpen Socrates\u003c\/em\u003e, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard recovers the radical move at the center of Socrates' thought, and shows why it is still the way to a good life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCallard draws our attention to Socrates' startling discovery that we don't know how to ask ourselves the most important questions--about how we should live, and how we might change. Before a person even has a chance to reflect, their bodily desires or the forces of social conformity have already answered on their behalf. To ask the most important questions, we need help. Callard argues that the true ambition of the famous \"Socratic method\" is to reveal what one human being can be to another. You can use another person in many ways--for survival, for pleasure, for comfort--but you are engaging them to the fullest when you call on them to help answer your questions and challenge your answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCallard shows that Socrates' method allows us to make progress in thinking about how to manage romantic love, how to confront one's own death, and how to approach politics.

You tell yourself that now is not the moment to attempt an answer. Like other people you know, you are taking life fifteen minutes at a time, distracting yourself with work, with TV shows, with anything that will allow you to move forward. Everyone quietly reassures everyone else: this is fine, we are all doing it, we can keep going on like this until each of us dies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly 2,500 years ago, a man said, \"this is not fine.\" The reaction was mixed. Some people were intrigued by the possibility of asking such important questions, and by the conversations that only he seemed able to have. Others were outraged, and demanded a return to the kinds of conversations everyone used to have before he came along. Eventually, the second group won out, and he was put to death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man, whose name was Socrates, predicted that his objection would live on, and it did, in certain circles--though it was dulled, softened, quieted. Socrates believed that a life devoted to open inquiry was the right course, not only for self-styled \"intellectuals,\" but for everyone. Taking Socrates as a guide, this book steers directly into the fundamental questions, and shows that we need not avoid them--and how we can make progress toward answering them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 9.1 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52204472041777,"sku":"9781631498466","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/kWFIoLyxjU9781631498466.webp?v=1782744166"},{"product_id":"capturing-kahanamoku-how-a-surfing-legend-and-a-scientific-obsession-redefined-race-and-culture-hardcover","title":"Capturing Kahanamoku: How a Surfing Legend and a Scientific Obsession Redefined Race and Culture - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eMichael Rossi\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"An engaging romp.\" -- \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A haunting, quietly devastating excavation of a story we should all know but don't: how a surfing legend became the target of eugenic obsession...

Enron, Arthur Andersen, the U.S. Olympic Committee, abusive priests, cheating students, domestic violence -- all these remind us that taking ethical stands should be a higher priority in our culture. Why, when people discern wrongdoing, are they sometimes unready, unable, or unwilling to act?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a book rich with examples, Rushworth Kidder reveals that moral courage is the bridge between talking ethics and doing ethics. Defining it as a readiness to endure danger for the sake of principle, he explains that the courage to act is found at the intersection of three elements: action based on core values, awareness of the risks, and a willingness to endure necessary hardship. By exploring how moral courage spurs us to strive for core values, he demonstrates the benefits of ethical action to the individual and to society -- and the severe consequences that can result from remaining morally dormant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMoral Courage\u003c\/em\u003e puts indispensable concepts and tools into our hands, equipping us to respond to the increasingly complicated moral challenges we face at work, at home, and in our communities.

The book analyzes the communicative power of protest to break social silences and disrupt insensitivity and complicity with injustice. Philosopher José Medina also elucidates the power of protest movements to transform social sensibilities and change the political imagination. Medina's theory of protest examines the obligations that citizens and institutions have to give proper uptake to protests and to communicatively engage with protesting publics in all their diversity, without excluding or marginalizing radical voices and perspectives. Throughout the book, Medina gives communicative and epistemic arguments for the value of \u003cem\u003eimagining with \u003c\/em\u003eprotest movements and for taking seriously the \u003cem\u003eradical political imagination\u003c\/em\u003e exercised in social movements of liberation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMedina's theory sheds light on the different ways in which protest can be silenced and the different communicative and epistemic injustices that protest movements can face, arguing for forms of \u003cem\u003eepistemic activism\u003c\/em\u003e that resist silencing and communicative\/epistemic injustices while empowering protesting voices. While arguing for democratic obligations to give proper uptake to protest, the book underscores how demanding listening to protesting voices can be under conditions of oppression and epistemic injustice. A central claim of the book is that responsible citizens have an obligation to \u003cem\u003eecho\u003c\/em\u003e (or express communicative solidarity with) the protests of oppressed groups that have been silenced and epistemically marginalized. Studying social uprisings, the book further argues that citizens have a duty to join protesting publics when grave injustices are in the public eye.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJosé Medina \u003c\/strong\u003eis Walter Dill Scott Professor of Philosophy at Northwestern University.

However, before the causality question can even be considered, a more basic question must be addressed: CAN happiness change? Reasons for skepticism include the notion of a \"genetic set point\" for happiness, i.e. a stable personal baseline of happiness to which individuals will always return, no matter how much their lives change for the better; the life-span stability of happiness-related traits such as neuroticism and extraversion; and the powerful processes of hedonic adaptation, which erode the positive effects of any fortuitous life change.

He rose to prominence in Rome, pursuing a career in the courts and political life, for which he had been trained, while also acquiring celebrity as an author of tragedies and essays. Falling foul of successive emperors (Caligula in AD 39 and Claudius in AD 41), he spent eight years in exile, allegedly for an affair with Caligula's sister. Recalled in AD 49, he was made praetor and was appointed tutor to the boy who was to become, in AD 54, the emperor Nero. On Nero's succession, Seneca acted for some eight years as an unofficial chief minister. The early part of this reign was remembered as a period of sound government, for which the main credit seems due to Seneca. His control over Nero declined as enemies turned the emperor against him with representations that his popularity made him a danger, or with accusations of immorality or excessive wealth. Retiring from public life he devoted his last three years to philosophy and writing, particularly the \u003cb\u003eLetters to Lucilius\u003c\/b\u003e. In AD 65 following the discovery of a plot against the emperor, in which he was thought to be implicated, he and many others were compelled by Nero to commit suicide. His fame as an essayist and dramatist lasted until two or three centuries ago, when he passed into literary oblivion, from which the twentieth century has seen a considerable recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 7 x 4.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 06, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403215302961,"sku":"9780143036326","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/5gOVi66nef9780143036326.webp?v=1781203707"},{"product_id":"homo-prospectus-hardcover","title":"Homo Prospectus - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eMartin E.
