The Purpose of Life: An Eastern Philosophical Vision

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Filice, Carlo, PUBLISHER: University Press of America, Suppose that this world is not an accident, but an expression of a divine super-mind. What might motivate a divine super-mind to express itself? This book boldly contends that divine motives are guided by values that exist objectively. We exist to realize and enhance such values. This text defends a cosmic vision that has been prominent in the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years-a vision often embraced within the New Age movement. However, its defense here is strictly philosophical. Filice argues that even as characters in an imaginative divine game we still carry independent value, that a world governed by such values should be a fair world, and that earthly moral goals cannot be our only ambition. The Purpose of Life maintains that any divine being(s) involved must be in perpetual process, that humans must not be the only embodied subjects that matter, and that each of us is destined to live many lives. Easy-to-read, the book's 73 mini-chapters are specifically tailored to fit the stop-and-go rhythm of daily life.

The Purpose of your Life

This is an NLP book for personal development. Please read an excerpt from this book below: "I would like to take you on a journey and introduce you to a personal power program over a period of 30 days. I am here to tell you that today you are beginning something that it will change the quality of your life, like forever. I am speaking from experience because I had the privilege of working with many people and studying what is the cutting edge that makes the difference in the quality of life. I want you to know that I am absolutely committed in these 30 days to making sure that you get measurable results from this program. All that is required are two things: first, the desire on your part, and second, commitment to follow through and make this program each day and follow through the exercises you given, as simple or as complicated as may seem in the moment. If you do that the things that you used to call dreams will become part of your daily reality. I am speaking from experience; an experience not only from helping other people to make changes in their lives but also changing my own life. How comes that you can have two people who seem to be so radically different in their abilities: one seems to have superior abilities, superior talent, superior skill, superior education and yet, in the same time they don’t produce the quality of life they want; and someone else seems to have every disadvantage, they don’t have the support emotionally, not the family support, not the education or the background and yet, they go out there and they produce results way beyond that anyone would expect. The difference in the quality of our lives does not come down to our capabilities; what human beings are capable of being absolutely incredible, but what people will do is rather different than what they can do. I will challenge you on this program to start exercising your will, to start using what I am calling your personal power."

Inner Life of a Rational Agent: In Defence of Philosophical

Inner Life of a Rational Agent: In Defence of Philosophical Behaviourism: A radical approach to the philosophy of mind, in which states of mind are identified with dispositions to behave in certain ways. The approach taken by Rowland Stout is a thoroughly up-to-date version of behaviourism, although not a form of behaviourism that denies the existence of consciousness, free will, rationality, etc., nor aims to reduce these to other sorts of things. Properly understood, the idea of being disposed to behave in a certain way is seen to be exactly as rich and interesting as the idea of being in a certain state of mind. The fact that our ways of behaving are sensitive to practical rationality is taken to be an essential aspect of our nature as conscious agents. And in describing such a version of practical rationality Stout claims we are describing the mental state of someone whose behaviour is sensitive to it. His account of behaviourism rests on two central notions--that of a causal disposition to behave and that of sensitivity to practical rationality. He explains and develops these notions in some detail, and then uses them to construct powerful and original accounts of belief, intention, knowledge, perception and consciousness.

An Anthology of Ismaili Literature: A Shi'i Vision of Islam

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Landolt, Hermann / Sheikh, Samira / Kassam, Kutub, PUBLISHER: I. B. Tauris & Company, One of the richest and most rewarding, yet at the same time least familiar, traditions of Muslim literature is that of the Shi'i Imami Ismailis. Although many great literary treasures of the Islamic world are already available in English translation, those of the Ismailis are only slowly being made accessible to scholars and readers at large. This substantial anthology makes a vital and welcome contribution to that process of wider dissemination. It brings together for the first time extracts from a range of significant Ismaili texts in both poetry and prose, here translated into English by some of the foremost scholars in the field. The texts included belong to a long span of Ismaili history, which extends from the Fatimid era to the beginning of the twentieth century. The translations in question have been rendered from their originals in Arabic, Persian and the different languages of Badakhshan and South Asia. With substantial sections devoted to such broad topics as faith and thought, history and biography, ethics, the Imamate, Ta'wil (or esoteric exegesis and textual interpretation), the anthology offers continuously enriching glimpses into the depths, diversity and distinctiveness of one of the great traditions of Islamic thought and creativity, which still remains relatively undiscovered by the West.

Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kierkegaard, Soren / Hannay, Alastair, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript is a classic of existential literature. It concludes the first and richest phase of Kierkegaard's pseudonymous authorship and is the text that philosophers look to first when attempting to define Kierkegaard's own philosophy. Familiar Kierkegaardian themes are introduced in the work, including truth as subjectivity, indirect communication, the leap, and the impossibility of forming a philosophical system for human existence. The Postscript sums up the aims of the preceding pseudonymous works and opens the way to the next part of Kierkegaard's increasingly tempestuous life: it can thus be seen as a cornerstone of his philosophical thought. This volume offers the work in a new and accessible translation by Alastair Hannay, together with an introduction that sets the work in its philosophical and historical contexts.
