Reasons without Rationalism


Free Download Kieran Setiya, "Reasons without Rationalism"
English | 2007 | pages: 144 | ISBN: 0691127492, 0691146527 | PDF | 0,6 mb
Modern philosophy has been vexed by the question "Why should I be moral?" and by doubts about the rational authority of moral virtue. In Reasons without Rationalism, Kieran Setiya shows that these doubts rest on a mistake. The "should" of practical reason cannot be understood apart from the virtues of character, including such moral virtues as justice and benevolence, and the considerations to which the virtues make one sensitive thereby count as reasons to act.

Twenty-Six Reasons Why Jews Don’t Believe In Jesus


Free Download Asher Norman, "Twenty-Six Reasons Why Jews Don’t Believe In Jesus"
English | 2007 | ISBN: 0977193705 | PDF | pages: 316 | 14.6 mb
In this seminal work, an attorney puts Jesus on trial. He explains to Jews, Christians and the theologically curious; why Jesus did not qualify as the Jewish messiah; why believing in Jesus cuts Jews off from God forever in the World To Come; how the Christian Bible has strategically mistranslated key verses in the "Old Testament" to shoehorn Jesus into the text. This compelling new book calls "un-Orthodox" Jews back to Torah Judaism.

The Age of Reasons


Free Download Wendy Motooka, "The Age of Reasons "
English | ISBN: 0415862590 | 2013 | 300 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Wendy Motooka contends that ‘the Age of Reason’ was actually an Age of Reasons. Joining imaginative literature, moral philosophy, and the emerging discourse of the new science, she seeks to historicise the meaning of eighteenth-century ‘reason’ and its supposed opposites, quixotism and sentimentalism. Reading novels by the Fieldings, Lennox and Sterne alongside the works of Adam Smith, Motooka argues that the legacy of sentimentalism is the social sciences. This book raises our understanding of eighteenth-century British culture and its relation to the ‘rational’ culture of economics that is growing ever more prevasive today.

The Oxford Handbook of Reasons and Normativity (Oxford Handbooks)


Free Download The Oxford Handbook of Reasons and Normativity (Oxford Handbooks) by Daniel Star
English | August 21st, 2018 | ISBN: 0199657882 | 1105 pages | True PDF | 64.39 MB
The Oxford Handbook of Reasons and Normativity maps a central terrain of philosophy, and provides an authoritative guide to it. Few concepts have received as much attention in recent philosophy as the concept of a reason to do or believe something. And one of the most contested ideas in philosophy is normativity, the ‘ought’ in claims that we ought to do or believe something. This is the first volume to provide broad coverage of the study of reasons and normativity across multiple philosophical subfields. In addition to focusing on reasons in ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind, action, and language, the Handbook explores philosophical work on the nature of normativity in general.

Reasons for the Success of the Sixth Coalition Against Napoleon in 1813


Free Download John T Kuehn, "Reasons for the Success of the Sixth Coalition Against Napoleon in 1813"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1249285348 | EPUB | pages: 136 | 0.4 mb
This study investigates the reasons for the success of the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon in 1813. Four critical principles emerge from U.S. joint doctrine that provide a means to examine coalition warfare: national goals, unity of effort, strategic plans, and adherence to plans. These principles illuminate the importance of coalition warfare in the defeat of Napoleon. The failure of an earlier coalition, the Second Coalition in 1799, underscores the importance of the principles of coalition warfare to the success or failure of the coalitions against Napoleon and the French. This coalition failed because of its lack of attention to the details of coalition warfare. Its basic flaw, lack of a common coalition goal, undermined its unity and resulted in defeat. The development of a common goal, the liberation of Germany, combined with the decline of the French and reforms by Napoleon’s opponents led to a level playing field in 1813. The 1813 spring campaign resulted in a stalemate. The coalition used the subsequent armistice to further improve both politically and militarily. These improvements, particularly the adoption of a unified military strategy, resulted in improved unity of effort and provided the Sixth Coalition the margin for ultimate victory.

Power and Freedom in the Space of Reasons

English | ISBN: 1032671378 | 2024 | 148 pages | EPUB, PDF | 397 KB + 8 MB
This book argues that the received view of the distinction between freedom and power must be rejected because it rests on an untenable account of the discursive cognition that endows individuals with the capacity for autonomy and self-governed rationality.

A Biblical Understanding of Pain Its Reasons and Realities


Free Download John Timmerman, "A Biblical Understanding of Pain: Its Reasons and Realities"
English | 2013 | pages: 65 | ISBN: 1610971094, 1498216617 | PDF | 0,6 mb
In A Biblical Understanding of Pain: Its Reasons and Realities, John Timmerman examines six different sources of pain, each with its own chapter of description and biblical response. These include physical pain, the pain of mental illness, spiritual pain, emotional pain, the pain of the Prodigal, and the pain of memories. Additional chapters explore the sources of pain, the denial of pain, and the question of God’s omnipotence and why he doesn’t just remove pain. Rather than setting forth sets of rules governing our response to pain, Professor Timmerman narrates actual life events and examples, and then examines biblical responses to these. The result is a study that feels lived in.

Author: Kacie Rose
Narrator: Kacie Rose

In her inimitably funny and feel-good way, social media star Kacie Rose offers a refreshingly honest take on navigating a new life abroad in You Deserve Good Gelato, covering everything from travel fails and homesickness to the joy of culture shocks and the power of doing the s*** that scares you. Because life is too short not to. Kacie decided to leave her life as a pro dancer in New York City and move to Italy in 2021-and she never looked back. Okay, that isn’t strictly true. In You Deserve Good Gelato, Kacie reflects on the pure terror of driving on Italian roads, the trials of speaking a new language (and getting it horribly, horribly wrong), and the genuine beauty of a slower pace of life, all with humour and heart. And by sharing her personal stories of life under the Tuscan sun, Kacie explains how travel is a privilege, why cultural differences are the coolest things in the world, and how there’s a positive you can take away from literally any situation. You Deserve Good Gelato will have you buying that ticket and embracing this big, beautiful world that we all call home.
