Houghton Mifflin The God Delusion
Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERINTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In the seminal text on atheism in the twenty-first centuy, renowned scientist Richard Dawkins examines the irrationality of believing in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society. From the sex-obsessed tyrant in the Old Testament to the more benign Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers, Dawkins rigorously analyzes God in all his forms, eviscerating the major arguments for religion and demonstrating the supreme improbability of a supreme being. His argument steeped in impressive historical and contemporary evidence, spanning from the Crusades to 9/11, Dawkins shows how religion fuels war and foments bigotry, and makes the compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong but potentially deadly. As a solution, Dawkins offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism for the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, tr

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Image of the Black in Jewish Culture A History of the Other Routledge Jewish Studies Series
Book SynopsisThe evolving image of the Black in the history of Jewish culture is being traced here in the conceptual framework of recent post-modern theories of the ''other''. The study focuses on the mechanisms by which an ethno-religious minority group considered by the dominant majority to be the inferior ''other'' identifies its own inferior other. While until recently most scholarly attention has been devoted to the attitudes towards the Jews as ''other'', this is the first comprehensive discussion of the attitudes of the Jews to their own ''others''.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements, Note on the translated quotations, Introduction, 1 Dream and interpretation: ‘Two blacks, hideous to see’, 2 Sources of the symbol: ‘I am black but comely’, 3 In the Bible: ‘The children of Cush’, 4 In the literature of the Sages: ‘Ugly and black’, 5 In the cultural world of Islam: ‘Speech in its least developed form’, 6 In the Latin–Christian cultural world: ‘Beasts in all their ways’, 7 In the wake of exploration: ‘Naked and awash in lust’, Afterword, Notes, Bibliography, Index of sources, Subject index

Lexington Books Dissent and Philosophy in the Middle Ages
Book SynopsisDissent and Philosophy in the Middle Ages offers scholars of Dante''s Divine Comedy an integral understanding of the political, philosophical, and religious context of the medieval masterwork. First penned in French by Ernest L. Fortin, one of America''s foremost thinkers in the fields of philosophy and theology, Dissidence et philosophie au moyen-%ge brings to light the complexity of Dante''s thought and art, and its relation to the central themes of Western civilization. Available in English for the first time through this superb translation by Marc A. LePain, Dissent and Philosophy will make a supremely important contribution to the discussion of Dante as poet, theologian, and philosopher.Trade ReviewThis is intellectual history at its best. It ranges over Islamic and Jewish thought, as well as the Greco-Latin tradition, and places Dante in an illuminating way. Essential for Dante studies. * National Review *Ernest L. Fortin's subtle study of Dante's dissent will help clear away the Anglo-American fashion of reading Dante as versified Augustine or Aquinas. Dante's reticences and implied stances emerge vividly in Fortin's precise pages. -- Harold Bloom, Yale UniversityThis English translation...comes as an urgent reminder of how important Dante is as a political thinker. -- Diskin Clay, Duke UniversityFortin presents a Dante who believes in philosophy's autonomy from and even superiority to theology (and who conceals this knowledge). This startling, fresh, and controversial thesis opens up the way for a view of poetry that straddles the boundaries between concealment and clarity, fiction and truth. -- Giuseppe Mazzotta, Yale UniversityThe first words of Fortin's book are these: "This modest work does not pretend to be exhaustive." When you read it you will see that there are other ways to be ambitious than by being exhaustive, namely: essential, magesterial, and path-breaking. * Claremont Review of Books *Ernest Fortin is the better sort of scholar: when he is unconventional and provocative (as he is when he treats Dante), he displays enviable learning, patent argumentation open for inspection, and an ingratiating pen. Marc LePain's translation of Fortin's elegant French is trustworthy and the additions he makes to Fortin's original French volume add significantly to Fortin's argument, and to our appreciation of his achievement in reopening for us the question of Dante. -- Paul Seaton, associate professor of philosophy, St. Mary’s Seminary & University, Baltimore, MD.Table of ContentsChapter 1 On the Political Mode in Philosophy Chapter 2 Islam and the Rediscovery of Political Philosophy Chapter 3 Political Philosophy in the Christian World Chapter 4 Dante and Philosophical Allegory Chapter 5 The Imperialism of the Comedy Chapter 6 Dante and Christianity Chapter 7 The Theory of the Double Truth Chapter 8 The Decline of Political Philosophy Chapter 9 Appendix: Dante's Comedy as Utopia

Polity Press Sex and Death A Reappraisal of Human Morality
Book SynopsisFor centuries people have debated the nature of the human self. Running beneath these various arguments lie three certainties -- we are born, reproduce sexually, and die.Trade Review"...[T]his book is passionate and temperate, thoughtful and bold. It is also beautifully written and a pleasure to read." Esther Reed, Reviews in Religion and Theology "All of us were born; all of us will die; all of us are sexual. Beverley Clack's new book takes an intelligent and thought-provoking look at these basic human realities, showing how spiritual meaning and physical reality conjoin. It is a wide-ranging and carefully argued book that makes unexpected and imaginative connections. It is also a book of compassionate humanity." Grace M. Jantzen, University of Manchester "Western accounts of the best human life have usually pictured masculine reason and will as battling to transcend and escape from nature, sex and death, and have been marked by a weirdly negative attitude especially for the female reproductive apparatus. Beverley Clack rejects that whole tradition and instead sees the good life as growing out of an acceptance of the body, transience, sex and death. She boldly tackles, not just Augustine and Freud, but also Sade, head-on. This is a vigorous and enjoyable study, and (of course) she's right." Don Cupitt, Emmanuel College, Cambridge "This is an engaging and thoughtful piece of work, convincing in its own terms"Elizabeth Stuart, Theology "...it [the book] leads readers to engage philosophically with arguments that have the potential to change their fundamental attitudes" Stan van Hooft, Philosophy in ReviewTable of ContentsAcknowledgments.

The Crown Publishing Group God the Evidence The Reconciliation of Faith and Reason in a Postsecular World
Book SynopsisIn the modern age science has been winning its centuries—old battle with religion for the mind of man. The evidence has long seemed incontrovertible: Life was merely a product of blind chance—a cosmic roll of an infinite number of dice across an eternity of time. Slowly, methodically, scientists supplied answers to mysteries insufficiently explained by theologians. Reason pushed faith off into the shadows of mythology and superstition, while atheism became a badge of wisdom. Our culture, freed from moral obligation, explored the frontiers of secularism. God was dead. 'Glynn's arguments for the existence of God put the burden of disproof on those intellectuals who think that the question has long since been settled.' — Andrew M. GreeleyBut now, in the twilight of the twentieth century, a startling transformation is taking place in Western scientific and intellectual thought. At its heart is the dawning realization that the universe, far from being a se

University Press of America The Essentials of Formal Axiology
Book SynopsisThis book explains and advances formal axiology as originally developed by Robert S. Hartman. Formal axiology identifies the general patterns involved in (1) the meaning of good and other value concepts, in (2) what we value (value-objects), and in (3) how we value (valuations or evaluations). It explains the rational, practical, and affective aspects of evaluation and shows how to make value judgments more rationally and effectively. It distinguishes between intrinsic, extrinsic, and systemic values and evaluations, and discusses how and why they fall into a rational hierarchy of value. It demonstrates the intrinsic worth of unique conscious beings and develops an axiological ethics in the three value dimensions. It explores the search for a logical calculus of value and introduces applications of axiology in psychology, religion, aesthetics, and business. It is critical of Hartman''s shortcomings but builds upon his strengths and extends his theory of values where incomplete.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 ONE The Form of the Good Chapter 3 TWO What Things are Good and Better?

Sea Harp Press Unspoken Sermons Sea Harp Timeless series
Book SynopsisBe swept into the presence of God. It is not enough for the Christ-follower to hold a set of beliefs about Jesus, to cling tightly to doctrine, or interpretation, or knowledge. The transformative power of the Gospel is accessed through faith in Jesus, through union with God, and through a real experience of His love and nearness. George MacDonald''s Unspoken Sermons are a series of written (but never publicly preached) sermons that guide the reader into a deeper relationship with God through profound encounters with Jesus Christ. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a 19th century Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister, most famous for his published allegorical fairy tales and novels. MacDonald was read and admired by many well-known theologians, including G.K. Chesterton, Oswald Chambers, and C.S. Lewis, who pointed to MacDonald as an ins

Oxford University Press Religion of Reason
Book SynopsisHermann Cohen''s Religion of Reason, Out of the Sources of Judaism (first published in 1919) is widely taken to be the greatest work in Jewish philosophy and religious thought since Maimonides'' Guide to the Perplexed. It is at once a Jewish book and a philosophical one: Jewish because it takes its material from the literary tradition that extends from the bible to the rabbis to the great medieval philosophers; philosophical because it studies that material in order to construct a worldview that is rational in the broadest sense of the term. This edition reprints a 1972 introduction by Leo Strauss and includes an essay on the work by Steven Schwarzchild. A new introduction by Kenneth R. Seeskin situates Cohen''s masterwork in the history of modern philosophical and religious thought.
