Описание: Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the New York Times bestselling Green Rider series, The Dream Gatherer introduces readers to new sides of Sacoridia in two new short stories and a novella.
A few thousand years ago I'm sure the world seemed younger. Hardly anything today could be as exciting as wondering what it all meant in the dawn of understanding.
In those days, information and socialising opportunities were harder to come by. This was a Goldilocks moment. Cultural accomplishments: languages, oral traditions ... meant big-picture issues could be talked about.They had not mounted so high that nothing remained to discuss.
We know this because these populations generated the myths now regarded as common-sense and realism.
In those days - celebrated as Hellenism, the pre-Socratic era, Plato and Aristotle - philosophers rambled around buttonholing anyone who would listen. The resulting conversations spawned the sciences and arts that became corporations, nations and the modern world.
Ironically, after deputizing scientists and artists to do their heavy-lifting, philosophy shriveled into an arcane activity practiced in remote corners of universities.
In these reduced circumstances, philosophers continued sharpening logical tools.They pondered moral questions no one else cared about. Not noticing their emeritus status, they soldiered on, hoping to corral at least one eminent truth.
This cannot, happen. Philosophical standpoints define what count as truth. They cannot be tested to determine whether they are correctly situated.
A second difficulty is that philosophers always attempt to overturn - or at least improve - points of view they come across. Since they lack anything resembling Large Hadron Colliders to investigate perplexing questions, mutual sniping is the name of the game.
The good news is that the big questions all remain on the table. The better news is that important insights have been achieved along the way: John Rawls' theory of justice and Immanuel Kant's universalizability test come to mind. Ludwig Wittgenstein advanced and then discarded the picture theory of language that earned him a doctorate at Cambridge University. His challenges to commonsense notions are still being mined. There have been no epiphanies however, only increasingly subtle questions.
What's valuable about not coming to conclusions?
Politicians, corporations, nations ... have no difficulty coming to conclusions. They harvest resources as if they were bottomless. They ride rough-shod across everything to secure these resources. I think this means wars, global warming, global poverty ... reflect philosophers' historical failures to challenge, indict, publicize, excoriate ... their half-witted, doubt-free progeny.
This is my hope for Modern Problems, Ancient Perspectives .... Political, economic and psychological mischiefs embedded in science and religion dramatize the consequences of failed skepticism.
Skepticism is what philosophers are good at.They have rendered one another scoreless for thousands of years

Описание:
Great Gatherings highlights the dynamic effect of gathering together where our Lord Jesus Christ ministers as High Priest. This book is designed for individual and group study to help Jesus' followers grow in grace and knowledge. The goal of this study is to inspire Christians to strengthen their faith by encouraging them to join with others in worshipful assemblies. New Testament references to "one another" are the heart of these lessons. Each chapter reveals the true nature of our heavenly Father who gathers His children like a flock. Beautiful word pictures of the power and effect of gathering together enrich every study topic.
The first book of study in the Kalmus Series is Great Separations. In this trek through the Bible, the learner is called to be separated to Christ, overcome weaknesses, and accomplish the work of the Great Commission in His power and strength. Great Gatherings furthers this message by revealing the benefits lavished on those who come together in Jesus' name. The first chapter's look at challenges of the contemporary church in a post-modern world prepares the learner for the refreshing messages in rest of the study. The studies within will inspire the reader to gather and worship in a way that outshines anything they could ever ask or imagine.
This topical thesis shows how a Christian assembly affects our lives daily and forever. The blessings and wonders of shared worship will become more and more evident as its messages progress. The emphasis of this walk through the Bible is to show that when the whole Gospel truth is taught, preached, and received with gladness, Jesus' presence will be confirmed in our gatherings.

In the 1950s, anthropologist Colin Turnbull lived among the pygmies of the Congo river for three years - this is his account of life among the tribespeople.
Adventurous as a young man, at the time he moved to the Congo Turnbull already had several years' experience of Africa and its rural cultures. Seeking to shed insight on the pygmy peoples for a wider audience, he sought a home in one of the villages and introduced himself to the locals. Quickly becoming popular in the locality for his courtesy and respectful manners, Turnbull kept a diary and took photographs of the locals, noting their customs and dynamics as a tribal community.
The interplay between males and females of the tribe are detailed, with rivalries and conflicts between the younger pygmies. Marriage and the duties therein define the tribe, with complex customs existing between existing and prospective couples. As the tribes live as hunter gatherers, it is necessary for a number of men to be skilled in gathering meat, fruits and vegetables, together with honeycomb - a substance prized by the pygmies for its deliciousness.
Turnbull does not bog down his narrative in academic jargon or complex nuance; rather we find an informal, at times even casual, account of life in a forest tribe. We receive a sense of the personalities and priorities accorded; this readability undoubtedly helps us better comprehend the pygmies' lives.
