С дух и истина [In Spirit and in Truth]

By: Александър Лашков [Alexander Lashkov]

Група младежи отива на излет в планината. Както често се случва, времето внезапно се влошава и пада гъста мъгла. Тъй като са тръгнали напосоки, младежите изгубват пътя. Започват спорове накъде да се върви. В това време някои чуват далечен, едва доловим звън на камбана и предлагат да вървят нататък. Но други, колкото и да се напрягат, не чуват никакъв звън и отказват да тръгнат след този въображаем според тях сигнал. Така групата се разделя. Едни тръгват след камбанния звън, по стръмна и камениста пътека, други поемат надясно, трети – наляво, а по-голямата част избират най-лесното – тръгват надолу, за да слязат от планината и да избягат от лошото време. . . Избавили се невредими само първите. Макар пътеката, по която тръгнали, да била много стръмна и неудобна, те все по-ясно чували камбанния звън и водени от него, стигнали до го-ляма хижа, където намерили подслон, храна и спасение. В положението на тези младежи, се озовава – в различна възраст – всеки човек. Няма да сгрешим ако кажем, че днес огромна част от човечеството живее в безпътица или върви в погрешна, гибелна посока. Камбаната на Божия глас звъни непрекъснато и сочи вярната ...

Philosophical Aphorisms: Critical Encounters with Heidegger and Nietzsche

By: Daniel Fidel Ferrer, Mr.

Experiment with the Philosophical Aphorism. Following Nietzsche's methodology and ambition, I want to say in this "book" more than anyone else said anywhere at any time. The key insight was in ascertaining Nietzsche's depth and understanding of the methodology of aphorisms. All of the great philosophers Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Schelling, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Heidegger uniquely and creatively altered the very nature of philosophy through the fundamental and radical transformation of the essential nature of the philosophical methodology. I am going to try to follow their pathway in my own small approach. Hardback book is 336 pages....

The Buddha’s Gospel: A Buddhist’s Interpretation of Jesus’ Words

By: Lindsay Falvey

Described as ‘unique and a great service to understanding’, this book is intended for three groups; Western Buddhists, that bulk of the West that have no religious affiliation yet know there is something more to life, and Buddhists in Asia who follow the encounter of the dharma with the West. It highlights the pervasive similarities in the teachings of Jesus and the Buddha as they were probably originally presented. In its six chapters and appendix, it compares the two great teachers, the Buddha and Jesus, briefly charts the process by which experts have produced words readily attributed to Jesus and presents a Buddhist ‘imitation’ of these words based on the hypothetical ‘Sayings of Jesus’. It then considers congruence between the Buddha’s and Jesus’ teachings before offering both Buddhist and Christian interpretations. An appendix re-presents the Buddhist imitation of Jesus’ words as a continuous text. Dr. Falvey introduces his work ... ‘Jesus speaking the Buddha’s words’ exudes audacity and ignorance, yet this work essentially wrote itself as a product of my socialization, a modicum of Christian theological study and its ...

Religion and Agriculture: Sustainability in Christianity and Buddhism

By: Lindsay Falvey

Religion is a powerful expression of culture that is most obviously expressed in our relationships with nature. As our major meeting point with nature is food, this provides a fertile field for cultivating the wisdom that Professor Falvey concludes is the essence of all sustainability. By bringing sustainability, agriculture, global issues, Buddhism, Christianity and a host of other factors into play, we see that our motivations belie our rhetoric – in environmental actions through to trade and aid. This open-spirited book contains a wealth of analysis and alternative logics that make it essential to serious readers about nature, the environment, spirituality and religion, Asia and ourselves. Beginning with science and spirituality, the discussion moves from immortality to theology to literal misinterpretations and unifies these themes around unacknowledged Western core values. Shifting to philosophy, ethics, and rights, an ecological argument about our selective ‘liberation’ of nature is proffered as an introduction to global issues, including traditional values of poor countries and lost traditions in the West. An engrossing h...

Lunch break, and Mr. McDonalds’s Physics lab is almost full, mostly girls, an’ definitely no teachers. I’m standing behind the front bench, a fish-tank on the right, my trusty assistant John on the left. Grabbing a large goldfish from the tank, I stuff it in my mouth, and swallow. It’s wiggly and a somewhat gritty, but down she goes. Just takes concentration, and a little practice. The girls start screaming. A few break for the door. When things settle down we all leave. Seems nobody’s too keen on lunch. The next day, McDonald puts a sign on the fish-tank. Please Do Not Eat The Fish Just a minute. What really happened here? Nope, there was no slight of hand. The fish truly did go down, albeit with difficulty. However, we’d prepared carefully. Several days before I had a test run, ate a few, and knew I could do it. John went ‘round the school taking bets. The money was more or less an admission fee. I wonder why so many girls, and did they get their 50 cents worth? Gotta smile just thinking about it. Bloody outrageous! By the way, why didn’t someone confront me? The story must have shot ‘round the s...

Ética e Política num Estado Democrático de Direito : Uma contribuição para a democracia em Cabo Verde, com especial ênfase na Ética humanista, Ética cristã e Ética do senso comum: Uma contribuição para a democracia em Cabo Verde, com especial ênfase na Ética humanista, Ética cristã e Ética do senso comum

By: António Barbosa Da silva, Ph.D.

Este livro é uma colectânea de artigos escritos por mim no jornal Terra Nova, desde 1991 até à presente data (2012). O propósito desta obra é, em primeiro lugar, fazer uma retrospecção do que tem acontecido desde a introdução do regime democrático em Cabo Verde, isto é, a partir de 13 de Janeiro de 1991, data em que, pela primeira vez, houve eleições livres nas nossas ilhas, das quais resultou o pluralismo partidário, base da nossa presente democracia....

1. Que diferença existe entre um corvo e um ser humano? Antes de tentar responder à pergunta: que diferença existe entre um corvo e um ser humano, devo descrever um acontecimento que me inspirou a escrever este capítulo cujo título, à primeira vista, possa parecer provocativo ao leitor. Em Agosto de 2004 vi, na televisão Norueguesa, um corvo ferido, no topo de uma árvore, a ser salvo por bombeiros, usando helicópteros. Li também no jornal norueguês, diário de Stavanger (Stavanger Aftenbladet) que bombeiros, com helicópteros e outros meios de transportes, tentaram salvar a vida de um corvo ferido. Pensei logo num comentário que um aluno meu, de mestrado em teologia, vindo do Sul do Sudão, tinha feito 5 anos, antes deste acontecimento, ao ver na televisão Norueguesa uma cobra que veio à Noruega escondida em bananas importadas, o que chamou a atenção dos mass mídia. O comentário dele foi: “francamente esta gente não tem assunto importante com que preencher o noticiário. Tantas pessoas a morrer de fome, sede e doenças em África, sobretudo na minha terra, mas não ouço nenhuma palavra sobre o sofrimento delas e como aliviá-lo. Mas uma...

X²=-2 : Les intermondes: Les intermondes

14 nouvelles courtes (7 à 18 pages), des nouvelles loufoques qui jouent de l'ironie et de la dérision. Thèmes: les espèces, la condition humaine...

La condition humaine La dernière fois que je suis né, c'était dans une fort ingrate condition ; j'avais deux bras et deux jambes reliés entre eux par un buste surmonté d'une tête et doté dans sa partie inférieure d'un appareillage excréteur correspondant à la tête. Après ma naissance, de longs mois durant je suis resté couché sur le dos, totalement impuissant, entièrement livré à ceux qui s'affairaient autour de moi pour me maintenir en vie. Le plus effrayant, c’est qu'ils n'avaient pas l'air de savoir comment faire ! ils avaient l'air aussi désemparés que moi. En ce temps-là, je ne sais pas pourquoi, mon corps portait tout à sa bouche : ses mains, ses pieds, et puis surtout cet espèce de renflement brunâtre qui pointait fermement et tendrement au bout d'une baudruche blanchâtre de laquelle sourdait un jus animal sous le regard — complice ou détaché — et le sourire — enjoué ou fatigué — de la tête perchée au-dessus. Plusieurs fois par jour, je m'entendais crier de peur, de faim, de frustration, comme de joie, de douleur, de chagrin. Cela pouvait durer longtemps : ceux qui s'occupaient de moi ne s'occupaient pas toujours de moi...

Runer før Columbus

By: Knut Rage

Was America discovered by Norwegian Vikings, and did they establish Norse colonies in North-America? And if so, why and how did they disappear? In this book, the author gives an overview of the discussion thas has been raging ever since the Kensington Rune Stone was discovered - or was claimed to have been discovered - in 1898. And what about other rune stones that have appeared in the USA during the last century - are they real or fake? The author examines this and many other issues, like traces in the Indian culture, old maps and buildings, and of course Medieval documents. Together, all this material gives an overwhelming evidence that an extensive Norse exploration or even permanent settlements may have taken place. Text in Norwegian....

Trialogue between Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Nagarjuna in Todtnauberg

By: Daniel Fidel Ferrer, Mr.

Dialogue format between three great philosophers. Two German and one Buddhist monk from 200 AD India.

Nāgārjuna talks directly to Martin Heidegger. Martin, you had Parmenides and impossibility of thinking of non-Being. Supposedly, he wrote: “neither could you know what is not nor could you declare it”. Indeed, the rest of the western philosophical history is: Plato’s dialogue the Sophist and stranger’s position about non-Being and the simple discussion of the semantics of non-Being; or Hegel’s view of non-Being in the Science of Logic which is only thought in the general context of progress of the methodology of the “circles of circles”. No wonder your remarks that “nothing nothings” (Das Nichts nichtet) is often thought of as your confusions. You started off with a chair with only one leg and that was unbalanced – this is the western approach which you had to deal with metaphysically. You got stuck too....

Shapurji Saklatvala was a Parsi from India who was elected twice to the British parliament in the 1920s. A communist and an internationalist, he campaigned vigorously inside and outside parliament on behalf of working people everywhere and especially for the cause of an independent India.

Chicago Manual of Style

By: University of Chicago

In the 1890s, a proofreader at the University of Chicago Press prepared a single sheet of typographic fundamentals intended as a guide for the University community. That sheet grew into a pamphlet, and the pamphlet grew into a book--the first edition of the Manual of Style, published in 1906. Now in its fifteenth edition, The Chicago Manual of Style--the essential reference for authors, editors, proofreaders, indexers, copywriters, designers, and publishers in any field--is more comprehensive and easier to use than ever before. Those who work with words know how dramatically publishing has changed in the past decade, with technology now informing and influencing every stage of the writing and publishing process. In creating the fifteenth edition of the Manual, Chicago's renowned editorial staff drew on direct experience of these changes, as well as on the recommendations of the Manual's first advisory board, composed of a distinguished group of scholars, authors, and professionals....

Facsimile of the 1st Edition: Manual of Style The history of The Chicago Manual of Style spans more than one hundred years, beginning in 1891 when the University of Chicago Press first opened its doors. At that time, the Press had its own composing room with experienced typesetters who were required to set complex scientific material as well as work in such then-exotic fonts as Hebrew and Ethiopic. Professors brought their handwritten manuscripts directly to the compositors, who did their best to decipher them. The compositors then passed the proofs to the “brainery”—the proofreaders who corrected typographical errors and edited for stylistic inconsistencies. To bring a common set of rules to the process, the staff of the composing room drew up a style sheet, which was then passed on to the rest of the university community. Even at such an early stage, “the University Press style book and style sheet” was considered important enough to be preserved, along with other items from the Press’s early years, in the cornerstone of the new Press building in 1903. That sheet grew into a pamphlet, and by 1906 the pamphlet had become a bo...

In this modern rendition, the beauty of the Sanskrit slokas is reflected in the rythmic flow of the english verse of poetic proportions. Besides, the attendant philosophy of that is Bhagvad-Gita is captured in contemporary idiom for easy comprehension....

The spiritual ethos and the philosophical outlook that the Bhagvad - Gita postulates paves the way for the liberation of man, who, as Rousseau said, ‘being born free, is everywhere in chains’. But equally it is a mirror of human psychology, which enables man to discern his debilities for appropriate redressal. All the same, the boon of an oral tradition that kept it alive for over two millennia became its bane with the proliferation of interpolations therein. Besides muddying its pristine philosophy, these insertions affect the sequential conformity and structural economy of the grand discourse. What is worse, to the chagrin of the majority of the Hindus, some of these legitimize the inimical caste system while upholding the priestly perks and prejudices....

Place Names of Hawaii - Hawaii Dictionary

By: Mary Kawena Pukui

In this book the authors endeavor to provide the people of the State of Hawaii with a glossary of important place names in the State, including names of valleys, streams, mountains, land sections, surfing areas, towns, villages, and Honolulu streets and buildings. The first edition of Place Names of Hawaii contained only 1,125 entries. The coverage is expanded in the present edition to include about 4,000 entries, including names in English. Individual entries have been lengthened, especially for important places or those rich in legendary or historical associations, for example, Io-lani, Ka-huku, Ka-lihi, Ka-wai-a-Ha o, Moana-lua, and La Pérouse. As in the earlier volume, meanings of the Hawaiian names are given when possible, as well as background information and, in some instances, references that may be consulted for verification and further information. Approximately 800 more names are included in this volume than appear in the Atlas of Hawaii (see References). The difference is due to the inclusion here of names of surfing areas, streets, and buildings, and of rocks and spots for which legends exist. The names in the Gloss...

Glossary. 1 -- Hawaiian words used in the Glossary. 3 -- Abbreviations used in the Glossary. 4 -- Glossary. 5 -- Appendix. 235 -- Previous studies of place names. 235 -- Sources consulted. 237 -- Sound changes and the need for salvage. 238 -- New names. 241 -- Structural analysis. 243 -- Semantic analysis. 253 -- Words of non-Hawaiian origin and names of streets and buildings. 263 -- Connotative values of place names. 266 -- Names found elsewhere in Polynesia. 277 -- Representation of the lexicon and the grammar in the place names. 280 -- References. 281 --...

Society: Progress and Force. Criteria and First Principles

By: Alex Battler

The present book, being a sequel to Dialectics of Force: Ontobia, is dedicated to the topics of progress and force of society - topics that may appear trivial at first sight, for a mountain of literature has been written on them. The author, however, having conscientiously presented the views on progress and force of all prominent thinkers over the past and the present, chose to follow a distinct path and formulated the criteria of progress based on entirely different scientific paradigms. Moreover, he dared to formulate the two Principles of Social Development, which are akin in their fundamental nature to the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The result is a book that is very complex in content. Nonetheless, the style of presentation used throughout most of the work makes it accessible even to those who have never read Hegel....

This book is intended for instructors and students of philosophy and social sciences, and also for all those who are interested in problems of man and mankind....

Counting Roots: Zayin Edition

By: Benjamin Lee Cooper

Due to upload limitations or errors, I am unable to upload recent versions of my books. Please go to https://learn-hebrew-from-genesis.weebly.com/ to find my most recent self-published book versions / editions. This book is essentially an enhanced dictionary that can also be used for these other purposes: 1: to determine the frequencies of word usage in the Tanakh ('Old' Testament). 2: to more easily compare words with similar spellings. 3: to discover the chapter number of each Bible chapter. 4: to discover verses in other chapters that link information with the chapter number that you are looking at. 5: to discover important information about a Bible chapter that you are looking at. 6: to compare all of the words that come from one single root, which can help us to better understand those word meanings and word usages. 7: to discover the relationship between the first usage of a word in the Bible and the sum of the root that that word belongs to. 8: to discover what Bible chapter a word root belongs to, and how that root meaning might interact with that Bible chapter. 9: to discover what the Hebrew name...

The main thing that this 'dictionary' lacks that other 'dictionaries' might have is the verse locations of each place a word is used in. This is common with Concordances of the Bible. Because it would increase the size of this book by more than a 1000 pages, and the time it would take to list each word location, I have decided to not include concordance information in this dictionary, even though that would be something I would have wanted to do if I had the time and patience to do it. The names of people or places are usually not going to be listed in this dictionary which is root centered, because they are redundant in the sense that names have meanings based on the roots of the words that make up the name. Essentially, names are just transliterations and if you know what the roots already mean, you already know what the name means....

There are no chapters, just entries for each Bible chapter number from 1 to 1189 where roots go. There are bookmarks for each Bible Chapter of the bible in this book. Each bookmark also lists the numbers of the chapters so that you can just look at the numbers in the bookmarks to quickly jump to the closest number to the root you are looking for....
