Virtuous Minds: Intellectual Character Development

Our culture today is in a state of crisis where intellectual virtue is concerned. Dishonesty, cheating, arrogance, laziness, cowardice-such vices are rampant in society, even among the world's most prominent leaders. We find ourselves in an ethical vacuum, as the daily headlines of our newspapers confirm again and again. Central to the problem is the state of education. We live in a technological world that has ever greater access to new information and yet no idea what to do with it all. In this wise and winsome book, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual character. He explores seven key virtues-courage, carefulness, tenacity, fair-mindedness, curiosity, honesty, and humility-and discusses their many benefits. The recovery of virtue, Dow argues, is not about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. The formation of intellectual character produces a way of life that demonstrates love for both God and neighbor. Dow has written an eminently practical guide to a life of intellectual virtue designed especially for parents and educators. The book concludes with seven principles for a true education.

The Essential Marcus Aurelius

This inaugural-and all new-Tarcher Cornerstone Edition presents a stunningly relevant and reliable translation of the thoughts and aphorisms of the Stoic philosopher and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, properly placing the philosopher-king's writings within the vein of the world's great religious and ethical traditions. The late antique world possessed no voice like that of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE). His private meditations on what constitutes a good life have withstood the centuries and reach us today with the same penetrating clarity and shining light as the words of Shakespeare, Emerson, or Thoreau. In this remarkable new translation, bestselling religious philosopher Jacob Needleman and classics scholar John P. Piazza have retained the depth of Marcus's perspective on life. They have carefully selected and faithfully rendered those passages that clarify Marcus's role as someone who stood within the great religious and ethical traditions that extend throughout every culture in human history. The voice that emerges from their translation is a universal one, equally recognizable to students of Christ, Buddha, the Vedas, the Talmud, and to anyone who sincerely searches for a way of meaning in contemporary life.

El YO divido y su proceso de unificación: Las variedades de experiencias religiosas

William James, en su libro Las variedades de la experiencia religiosa (con prólogo de Aranguren), dedica un apartado a la 'Inutilidad de las definiciones sencillas de la religión” .Y Kolakowski escribe: “Nunca estoy seguro de qué es la religión, y menos aún de qué es la filosofía, pero, sea lo que fuere, la religión incluye la historia de los dioses, de los hombres y del universo” . No es momento de analizar el significado plural del término 'religión'. Su origen es cristiano y occidental. Este es el motivo de que algunas culturas lo rechacen y otras lo desconozcan. La tendencia actual entre los estudiosos es hablar de “religiones” (en plural). Creo, sin embargo, que también el singular tiene larga vida asegurada. En realidad, cada ser humano solo conoce “una” religión: la que practica o ha practicado. De las restantes solo se tienen datos, informaciones diversas; pero “poseer información” es algo bien distinto de “conocer”. Conocer una religión es mirarla por dentro, familiarizarse con ella, sentir que forma parte de la propia vida. Sagazmente afirmaba Renan que solo se conoce una religión cuando se la abandona. Probablemente se refería al poder cognoscitivo de la ausencia. La experiencia enseña, por ejemplo, que la ausencia definitiva de los seres queridos acrecienta su conocimiento. Es posible que la añoranza, el “echar de menos”, sea mejor fuente de conocimiento que el contacto directo. Aplicado al tema que nos ocupa: el abandono de la que un día fue nuestra religión puede inquietar por dentro y conducir a conocer mejor y valorar más lo que antaño se tuvo. La religión pertenece al ámbito de lo “significativo”, más que al de lo “científico”. Y lo significativo siempre nos afecta y conmueve interiormente.

The Threads That Lead to Divine

In this excellent exposition of ancient Indian thought systems, the authors rig up an interesting debate among proponents of these systems, finally leading to the conclusions well established by Vedas and Upanishads. The book is based on the well-known work namely The Brahma Sutra of Sage Badarayana. A good book to get a quick introduction to Samkhya, Vaisheshika, Yoga, Teravada, Vijnyana Vada, Shoonya Vada, and Anekantavada and their contrast with the Upanishadic views.

Operación Arconte

Podemos llamarlos dioses, creadores y otros nombres, pero igualmente, los Arcontes están detrás de todo en este universo. Y, aunque la religión se ha filtrado en la humanidad a lo largo de los siglos, todavía hay conceptos que requieren ser explorados. El ser humano ha decidido tomar las sagradas escrituras como la verdad absoluta, solo porque durante generaciones se le ha dicho que así es, y sin ningún derecho a cuestionamiento, con lo que la humanidad no trasciende en el misterio de nuestros comienzos o del por qué estamos aquí. Simplemente, estamos dormidos y tragando entero porque “eso es lo que nos contaron y no debemos cuestionarlo”. Creo firmemente en el concepto que acuñara el investigador y escritor Salvador Freixedo de la Granja Humana: un concepto en el que nosotros, los seres humanos, estamos al servicio de seres superiores que no vemos y se aprovechan de nosotros para alimentarse de nuestra energía emocional. Esos seres, a los que me referiré a lo largo de este texto como Los Arcontes, no sientes ninguna empatía por nosotros, y para ellos no somos más que ganado. Nuestro servicio para ellos es SENTIR y les es más fácil generarnos emociones negativas que positivas por cuanto las primeras solo requieren destrucción mientras que las segundas requieren construcción; y siempre será más fácil destruir que construir. La palabra Arconte viene del griego, arkon, que significa gobernante. A lo largo de muchos siglos hemos identificado a estos gobernantes con nombres, como ángeles, dioses, demonios, hadas, alienígenas, espíritus, fantasmas y cualquier otra forma de manifestación física que consideramos paranormal. El mundo es una granja humana, y no se puede escapar de ella. Nosotros producimos la energía que los Arcontes necesitan para su supervivencia. ¿hay algo por lo qué vivir? ¿Cuál es nuestro futuro?, y... ¿desempeñaremos un papel más importante en el gran esquema de las cosas? Estas son preguntas que el autor y el lector responderán juntos.

Business zur Ehre Gottes: Die biblische Lehre über die Möglichkeit, Gott als Unternehmer zu verherrl

Kann Business an sich moralisch gut und gottgefällig sein? Manchmal erscheint Business so zwielichtig - Endergebnisse werden manipuliert, Verbraucher werden getäuscht, oder jemand wird befördert, nur weil er Beziehungen hat. Wayne Grudem stellt ein neues Konzept vor: Business selbst verherrlicht Gott, wenn es auf eine Weise betrieben wird, die Gottes Charakter und Schöpfung nachahmt. Er zeigt, dass alle Aspekte des Business, einschließlich der Themen Eigentum, Gewinn, Geld, Wettbewerb sowie Kreditaufnahme und -vergabe, Gott verherrlichen, weil sie Gottes Wesen widerspiegeln. Obwohl Grudem nicht naiv ist und weiß, wie leicht diese Aktivitäten pervertiert und als Mittel zur Sünde benutzt werden können, ist er überzeugt, dass Christen die Businesswelt nicht scheuen sollten. Dieses biblisch fundierte Buch ist ein durchdachter Leitfaden zur Nachahmung Gottes im Umgang mit Kunden, Kollegen, Mitarbeitern und anderen Unternehmen. Sehen Sie, wie Ihr Business - und Ihr Leben im Business - der Ehre Gottes gewidmet werden kann.
