Humanism Revisited An Anthropological Perspective


Free Download Rik Pinxten, "Humanism Revisited: An Anthropological Perspective"
English | ISBN: 1805394738 | 2024 | 202 pages | EPUB, PDF | 608 KB + 2 MB
The West emancipated itself from the old humanism long ago and in doing so distanced itself from ‘heteronomy’: it declared that man, and not a non-human power, should be the first reference to approach people and nature. Today, as heirs of this tradition, we are still stuck in Eurocentrism (and often racism), and now even threaten to ruin nature by destroying biodiversity and causing the climate to warm up dangerously. Applied through an anthropological perspective, this book calls for a NEED-humanism: Not-Eurocentric, Ecological and (economically) Durable approach that can help promote inclusion and pluralism.

Fictionality and Literature Core Concepts Revisited


Free Download Fictionality and Literature: Core Concepts Revisited (Theory and Interpretation of Narrative) edited by Lasse R. Gammelgaard, Stefan Iversen, Louise Brix Jacobsen, James Phelan, Richard Walsh, Henrik Zetterberg-Nielsen, Simona Zetterberg-Nielsen
English | December 15, 2022 | ISBN: 0814215017 | True EPUB/PDF | 326 pages | 3.7/2.8 MB
Taking its cues from Richard Walsh’s influential 2007 book, The Rhetoric of Fictionality, Fictionality and Literature sets out to examine the implications of a rhetorical understanding of fictionality. A rhetorical approach understands fictionality and nonfictionality not as binary opposites but as different means to the same end: influencing an audience’s understanding of the world. Arguing that fiction is not just a feature of particular works, such as novels, but an adaptable instrument used to achieve an author’s specific rhetorical goals, the contributors theorize how to reconceive of core literary features and influences such as author, narrator, Description, character, consciousness, metaphor, metafiction/metalepsis, intertextuality, paratext, ethics, and social justice.

Author: John McManus, The Great Courses
Narrator: John McManus

World War II is the defining conflict of the 20th century, one that created a line in the sands of history dividing the pre-war and post-war eras. In this epoch-defining conflict lies another definitive moment: the invasion of a 50-mile stretch of coast in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. This battle, also known as D-Day, was the pivot point of the war in Europe. Its success led to a nearly yearlong, bloody campaign that saw the liberation of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands, followed by the final defeat of Hitler’s Third Reich. In the six lectures of D-Day Revisited: The Invasion of Normandy, Professor John C. McManus will take you back to this transformative moment in modern history and reveal how it succeeded. Along the way, you will better understand why it was a truly world-changing military operation-one that could easily have gone a different way.

Freedom Revisited A Comparative Theological Approach to the Question of Free Will in Islam


Free Download Nasrin Bani Assadi, "Freedom Revisited: A Comparative Theological Approach to the Question of Free Will in Islam "
English | ISBN: 3506794698 | 2024 | 436 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Is the Qur’anic notion of faith reconcilable with a modern notion of freedom? The present work is an attempt to examine the possibility of a positive response to this question. Inspired by transcendental philosophy as developed by Kant and Fichte and later elaborated by Hermann Krings, the author provides a reformulation of the notion of faith in the Qur’an as "transcendental affirmation". It is argued in the book that faith in the Qur’an has to do with belief in transformation through affirmation, and that the lack of faith is associated with submitting oneself to systems of necessity and their immutability. It is obvious that in such a worldview there is hardly any place for freedom and for hope. Through the reformulation of the Islamic notion of faith as transcendental affirmation, the author has provided the possibility of speaking of transcendental freedom within the arena of Islamic Theology.
