Описание: Most white philosophers of religion generally presume that philosophy of religion is based on what is a false universality; whereby the white/Western experience is paradigmatic of humanity at-large. The fact remains that Howard Thurman, James H. Cone and William R. Jones, among others, have produced a substantial amount of theological work quite worthy of consideration by philosophers of religion. Yet this corpus of thought is not reflected in the scholarly literature that constitutes the main body of philosophy of religion. Neglect and ignorance of African American Studies is widespread in the academy. By including chapters on Thurman, Cone and Jones, the present book functions as a corrective to this scholarly lacuna.

Описание: Does Thoreau belong to the past or to the future? Instead of canonizing him as a celebrant of "pure" nature apart from the corruption of civilization, the essays in Thoreauvian Modernities reveal edgier facets of his work - how Thoreau is able to unsettle as well as inspire and how he is able to focus on both the timeless and the timely.
Do you really understand what racism is all about?
Are you willing to change your opinions and ideas to help make the world a better place?
The questions surrounding racism and equality has spanned centuries and is likely to be with us for centuries to come. While great leaps forward and improvements have been made, in the way that we approach these issues, there is still a lot of work to be done before we can say that we are the equal society that many dream of.
The good news is that each successive generation become more enlightened. Now, in this book, Conversations About Race, we examine what else can be done to gain a better understanding of the racial divide, with chapters that examine:
What racism is
Ethnocentrism And Cultural Relativism
The difficulty of speaking to white people about racism
Knowledge Is More Important Than Color
The Complexity Of Social Identities
Racism yesterday and today
Racism In The United States
And more...
The issue of racism is complicated and deep rooted. It will take time before we reach a stage where everyone accepts it as wrong but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be having difficult conversations about it now.
We owe it to ourselves to better educated about the problems of racism in society and this book goes a long way to laying the foundations of that.

Автор: Yasuko Takezawa, Gary Y. Okihiro Название: Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies: Conversations on Race and Racializations ISBN: 0824887425 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780824887421 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 23410.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies is a unique collection of essays derived from a series of dialogues held in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Los Angeles on the issues of racializations, gender, communities, and the positionalities of scholars involved in Japanese American studies. The book brings together some of the most renowned scholars of the discipline in Japan and North America. It seeks to overcome past constraints of dialogues between Japan- and U.S.-based scholars by providing opportunities for candid, extended conversations among its contributors.While each contribution focuses on the field of "Japanese American" studies, approaches to the subject vary - ranging from national and village archives, community newspapers, personal letters, visual art, and personal interviews. Research papers are divided into six sections: Racializations, Communities, Intersections, Borderlands, Reorientations, and Teaching. Papers by one or two Japan-based scholar(s) are paired with a U.S.-based scholar, reflecting the book's intention to promote dialogue and mutuality across national formations. The collection is also notable for featuring underrepresented communities in Japanese American studies, such as Okinawan "war brides," Koreans, women, and multiracials. Essays on subject positions raise fundamental questions: Is it possible to engage in a truly equal dialogue when English is the language used in the conversation and in a field where English-language texts predominate? How can scholars foster a mutual respect when U.S.-centrism prevails in the subject matter and in the field's scholarly hierarchy? Understanding foundational questions that are now frequently unstated assumptions will help to disrupt hierarchies in scholarship and work toward more equal engagements across national divides. Although the study of Japanese Americans has reached a stage of maturity, contributors to this volume recognize important historical and contemporary neglects in that historiography and literature. Japanese America and its scholarly representations, they declare, are much too deep, rich, and varied to contain in a singular narrative or subject position.

Описание: The Mindful Classroom: Constructive Conversations on Race, Identity, and Justice helps teachers and discussion facilitators practice and teach mindfulness and movement techniques that can deeply enhance conversations about race, identity, and social justice, furthering social justice efforts at their most basic stage--person to person--from the face-to-face or online classroom to the community at large. Mindfulness and movement practices can help us prepare for and engage in difficult conversations, and the more conscious we become of our emotional, mental, and physical landscape, the more we are able to engage proactively rather than reactively, consciously rather than automatically. We become able to act (or not act), rather than react in situations with others. The topics of race and social justice are timely, and they are triggers. Productive engagement with these topics demands we remain mindful of how we may be triggered and how we may be triggering others; it demands we pay attention to ourselves at a fundamental level, and it demands that we grant such attention to others.
Автор: Joseph Davis Название: Heresies of a Renaissance Jew: The Ten Questions and Memoir of Eliezer Eilburg ISBN: 0822945053 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780822945055 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 32340.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This volume includes two Hebrew texts from the Renaissance, published here for the first time, together with English translations. The first is a memoir of a German Jew, Eliezer Eilburg, a younger contemporary of Martin Luther (who mentions Luther, although not in a complimentary way). Eilburg tells stories of how his family was driven from Germany, how his involvement in lawsuits in Poland, his imprisonment, and his study and practice of medicine in Italy. The story is interspersed with kabbalistic visions, including a vision of the ghost of the author's mother. The memoir is a fascinating and authentic vista into the world of the Renaissance Jew. In the second text, The Ten Questions , Eilburg challenges nearly all of the Jewish beliefs of his time, and especially belief in the Bible. It is the most radical Jewish text of the sixteenth century, bar none. Eilburg's heretical doubts, a century before Spinoza, are a crucial link between the rationalism of medieval Jewish philosophy and the seventeenth and eighteenth century Enlightenment. The text sheds important new light on the Renaissance origins of modern Bible criticism.

In this way, authors Nancy Stanlick and Michael Strawser offer students a theoretical tool kit for creatively addressing issues that influence their own environments. This text begins with a discussion of key ethical theorists and then guides the reader through a series of original case studies and follow-up activities that facilitate critical thinking, emphasize asking thought provoking questions, and teach the student to address the complexity of ethical dilemmas while incorporating the viewpoints of their peers. Additionally, Stanlick and Strawser include an extensive preface, a mind-mapping technique for analyzing and formulating arguments, and a six step process for approaching complex real-life moral issues. Each chapter incorporates suggested assignments, discussion questions, and references for further reading, and a guide for instructors offering a sample course schedule and suggestions on how to use this book effectively is also available. This text is designed to help educators engage students in a meaningful discussion of how historical theories apply to their own lives, providing rich and unique resources to learn about these critical issues.

Описание: Paul Ricoeur has been one of the most influential and intellectually challenging philosophers of the last century, and his work has contributed to a vast array of fields: studies of language, of history, of ethics and politics. However, he has up until recently only had a minor impact on the philosophy of technology. Interpreting Technology aims to put Ricoeur's work at the centre of contemporary philosophical thinking concerning technology. It investigates his project of critical hermeneutics for rethinking established theories of technology, the growing ethical and political impacts of technologies on the modern lifeworld, and ways of analysing global sociotechnical systems such as the Internet. Ricoeur's philosophy allows us to approach questions such as: how could narrative theory enhance our understanding of technological mediation? How can our technical practices be informed by the ethical aim of living the good life, with and for others, in just institutions? And how does the emerging global media landscape shape our sense of self, and our understanding of history? These questions are more timely than ever, considering the enormous impact technologies have on daily life in the 21st century: on how we shape ourselves with health apps, how we engage with one-another through social media, and how we act politically through digital platforms.
