Circling the Elephant: A Comparative Theology of Religious Diversity (Comparative Theology: Thinking Across Traditions #8)
by John J. ThatamanilChristian theologians have for some decades affirmed that they have no monopoly on encounters with God or ultimate reality and that other religions also have access to religious truth and transformation. If that is the case, the time has come for Christians not only to learn about but also from their religious neighbors. Circling the Elephant affirms that the best way to be truly open to the mystery of the infinite is to move away from defensive postures of religious isolationism and self-sufficiency and to move, in vulnerability and openness, toward the mystery of the neighbor.Employing the ancient Indian allegory of the elephant and blind(folded) men, John J. Thatamanil argues for the integration of three often-separated theological projects: theologies of religious diversity (the work of accounting for why there are so many different understandings of the elephant), comparative theology (the venture of walking over to a different side of the elephant), and constructive theology (the endeavor of re-describing the elephant in light of the other two tasks).Circling the Elephant also offers an analysis of why we have fallen short in the past. Interreligious learning has been obstructed by problematic ideas about “religion” and “religions,” Thatamanil argues, while also pointing out the troubling resonances between reified notions of “religion” and “race.” He contests these notions and offers a new theory of the religious that makes interreligious learning both possible and desirable.Christians have much to learn from their religious neighbors, even about such central features of Christian theology as Christ and the Trinity. This book envisions religious diversity as a promise, not a problem, and proposes a new theology of religious diversity that opens the door to robust interreligious learning and Christian transformation through encountering the other.
Clean: The New Science of Skin
by James HamblinA preventative medicine physician and staff writer for The Atlantic explains the surprising and unintended effects of our hygiene practices in this informative and entertaining introduction to the new science of skin microbes and probiotics. Keeping skin healthy is a booming industry, and yet it seems like almost no one agrees on what actually works. Confusing messages from health authorities and ineffective treatments have left many people desperate for reliable solutions. An enormous alternative industry is filling the void, selling products that are often of questionable safety and totally unknown effectiveness. In Clean, doctor and journalist James Hamblin explores how we got here, examining the science and culture of how we care for our skin today. He talks to dermatologists, microbiologists, allergists, immunologists, aestheticians, bar-soap enthusiasts, venture capitalists, Amish people, theologians, and straight-up scam artists, trying to figure out what it really means to be clean. He even experiments with giving up showers entirely, and discovers that he is not alone. Along the way he realizes that most of our standards of cleanliness are less related to health than most people think. A major part of the picture has been missing: a little-known ecosystem known as the skin microbiome—the trillions of microbes that live on our skin and in our pores. These microbes are not dangerous; they&’re more like an outer layer of skin that no one knew we had, and they influence everything from acne, eczema, and dry skin to how we smell. The new goal of skin care will be to cultivate a healthy biome—and to embrace the meaning of &“clean&” in the natural sense. This can mean doing much less, saving time, money, energy, water, and plastic bottles in the process.Lucid, accessible, and deeply researched, Clean explores the ongoing, radical change in the way we think about our skin, introducing readers to the emerging science that will be at the forefront of health and wellness conversations in coming years.

The Clear Light: Spiritual Reflections and Meditations (An Eckhart Tolle Edition)
by Steve TaylorAs Eckhart Tolle has written, poetry &“has been recognized since ancient times as a highly appropriate medium for the expression and transmission of spiritual truth.&” The Clear Light is Steve Taylor&’s latest contribution to this poetic tradition, offering short and powerful reflections as a guide to spiritual awakening and as experiential glimpses of the state of enlightenment itself. Taylor ranges widely, through subjects including &“Making the Human Race Whole,&” &“Freedom from the Past,&” and &“The Reality of Connection,&” always in clear and simple language. Best of all, he reminds us of the choices we always have when life feels chaotic and overwhelming: empathy, acceptance, and love. Soothing but also challenging, Taylor&’s words continually affirm the profound bedrock of peace and even joy in the present that is always available. The book&’s eponymous reflection says it best: There is nothing that can&’t be undone — no past injury that can&’t be healed no past mistake that can&’t be corrected — in the clear light of the present. Reading this book is a transformational spiritual experience in itself.

Cognition in 3E: Multidisciplinary Perspectives (Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics #56)
by Tommaso BertolottiThis book originated at a workshop by the same name held in May 2018 at the University of Pavia. The aim was to encourage a cross-disciplinary discussion on the limits of cognition. When venturing into cognitive science, notwithstanding the approach, one of the first riddles to be solved is the definition of cognition. Any definition immediately sparks the ascription debate: who/what cognizes? Definitions may appear either too loose, or too demanding. Are bacteria included? What about plants? Is it a human prerogative? We engage in the quest for artificial intelligence, but is artificial cognition already the case? And if it was a human prerogative, are we doing it all the time? Is cognition a process, or the sum of countless sub processes? Is it in the brain, or also in the body? Or does it go beyond the body? Where does it start? Where does it end? We tried answering these questions each from our own perspectives, as philosophers, ethnographers, psychologists and rhetoricians, handing each other our peculiar insight.

These passages are designed to be a companion on the journey toward transforming our rare moments of "at-home-ness" into an undercurrent that permeates all aspects of our lives. They offer guidance about meditation and specific techniques to try, insights into the habits that keep us tense and conflicted, and what life might look like if we recognize those habits and let them go. Exercises include activating your awareness, opening the heart, learning to relax and concentrate in order to reap the benefits of meditation, and freeing the brain from mental blocks. Featuring whimsical full color illustrations throughout, Coming Home to Yourself invites the reader to dip into the meditations at any point or read the book in sequence for a true homecoming experience.

Comment j'ai guéri ma tension artérielle ?
by Sudhir DixitComment j'ai guéri ma tension artérielle ? de SUDHIR DIXIT Combattre avec la nourriture, le yoga et le pranayama ! Un livre qui vous motive à retrouver votre santé ! Si vous souffrez d'hypertension, vous n'êtes certainement pas le seul. Dans le monde, des milliers et même des millions en souffrent. Selon les statistiques de 2017, 1,1 milliard de personnes souffrent d'hypertension ou d'hypertension artérielle. Les hommes ont tendance à faire face au danger d'hypertension artérielle plus que les femmes, ainsi que les problèmes cardiaques. Que Dieu bénisse les hommes ! Et s'il vous plaît, faites quelque chose pour que les femmes soient plus gentilles, car elles sont responsables de plus de la moitié de nos chagrins d'amour ! Chez 90% des patients, les raisons d'hypertension ne sont pas connues. Il n’est donc pas du tout étonnant que votre médecin ne soit pas à 100% sûr du traitement à vous prescrire. Comment voulez-vous qu’il arrive à vous donner le bon remède s’il n’est pas sûr de la cause de votre problème. Le médicament contre l'hypertension devient alors votre compagnon à vie. N’en voulez à votre médecin, il ou elle essaie de prolonger votre vie. Soyez reconnaissant, mais ne vous attendez pas à ce qu'il/elle vous dise : « Maintenant, vous n’avez plus besoin de prendre votre médicament pour la PA. » Bienvenue dans le monde de l'hypertension artérielle ! De plus, l'hypertension artérielle n'a pas de symptômes visibles, d'où le surnom de « tueur silencieux ». Selon l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS), l'hypertension artérielle est la cause de 7,5 millions de décès, soit environ 12,8% du total des décès dans le monde. En 2016, l'hypertension a tué 1,6 million de personnes en Inde. Oups ! Oh, mon Dieu, un tiers de ces personnes ne savaient même pas qu'elles souffraient d'hypertension et qu’elles ont mourraient. Leur ignorance leur a fait payer le prix. Socrate a dit : « Apprends à te connaitre ! »
Common Sense Metaphysics: Essays in Honor of Lynne Rudder Baker (Routledge Festschrifts in Philosophy)
by Luis R.G. Oliveira; and Kevin J. CorcoranThis book celebrates the research career of Lynne Rudder Baker by presenting sixteen new and critical essays from admiring students, colleagues, interlocutors, and friends. Baker was a trenchant critic of physicalist conceptions of the universe. She was a staunch defender of a kind of practical realism, what she sometimes called a metaphysics of everyday life. It was this general "common sense" philosophical outlook that underwrote her famous constitution view of reality. Whereas most of her contemporaries were in general given to metaphysical reductionism and eliminativism, Baker was unapologetic and philosophically deft in her defense of ontological pluralism. The essays in this book engage with all aspects of her unique and influential work: practical realism about the mind; the constitution view of human persons; the first-person perspective; and God, Christianity and naturalism. Common Sense Metaphysics will be of interest to scholars of Baker’s work, as well as scholars and advanced students engaged in research on various topics in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and philosophy of religion.
