Self-Constitution


Book Description

Christine M. Korsgaard presents an account of the foundation of practical reason and moral obligation. Moral philosophy aspires to understand the fact that human actions, unlike the actions of the other animals, can be morally good or bad, right or wrong. Few moral philosophers, however, have exploited the idea that actions might be morally good or bad in virtue of being good or bad of their kind - good or bad as actions. Just as we need to know that it is the function of the heart to pump blood to know that a good heart is one that pumps blood successfully, so we need to know what the function of an action is in order to know what counts as a good or bad action. Drawing on the work of Plato, Aristotle, and Kant, Korsgaard proposes that the function of an action is to constitute the agency and therefore the identity of the person who does it. As rational beings, we are aware of, and therefore in control of, the principles that govern our actions. A good action is one that constitutes its agent as the autonomous and efficacious cause of her own movements. These properties correspond, respectively, to Kant's two imperatives of practical reason. Conformity to the categorical imperative renders us autonomous, and conformity to the hypothetical imperative renders us efficacious. And in determining what effects we will have in the world, we are at the same time determining our own identities. Korsgaard develops a theory of action and of interaction, and of the form interaction must take if we are to have the integrity that, she argues, is essential for agency. On the basis of that theory, she argues that only morally good action can serve the function of action, which is self-constitution.




The World Anew


Book Description

This book contains innovative integrated solutions in education, religion, science, economics, psychology, politics and current affairs because these are not viewed as independent subjects delineated by some divine wisdom but rather are interrelated and a part of the whole that is Life and are a part of each. Dialogues among fictitious characters and a story are used to make reading more interesting. There are three sections. Each section can be read independently and while starting from a different perspective, attempts to provide a unified and "whole" view of life. The first Section is about the essence of the teachings of the seven great religions. There have been many religiously fueled wars and atrocities in the past, and there are currently ongoing conflicts fueled by religion. Whether in Chechnya, Kashmir, the West Bank, Jerusalem, Cyprus, Lebanon, Sudan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Tibet, or Iraq, religiously fueled conflicts are often instigated by non-religious forces like politics, socio-economics, or psychology. In all cases, however, religion, or in Tibet anti-religion, propels the conflict. Therefore, resolving these conflicts, just as reducing Islamic terrorism, requires not only political and economic, but also a religious response if the solutions are to last. A specific religious solution is advocated. The second Section is about science and philosophy. It is founded in modern physics and provides a philosophy that shows the consistency of modern physics with the foundational teachings of the major religions. It also provides a hypothesis for a Unified Theory. The third Section is about economics, psychology and current affairs and provides potential solutions to the very serious problems humanity faces. The Appendix is about the theological debates among the great religions.




A Prosperity Phenomenon


Book Description

The economy is in shambles. Riots and demonstrations in the streets have become daily occurrences worldwide. The unemployment rate is staggering, global debt is out of control, and the world is paralyzed in the grip of terror. What in the world is going on? What if all of this could be happening just for your benefit as a Christian believer? What if we are experiencing a great global orchestration of God's ability, plan and purpose to transfer the immense wealth of the world into the hands of those who serve Him? And what if this prosperity phenomenon forecasted in Scripture has already begun? Dr. Don G. Pickney's ministry is dedicated to proving that on the fateful day of September 11, 2001, the Lord of hosts began to unfold a biblical prophetic event revealed in Scripture as the Day of Jehovah Tsaba, during which He would plunder the nations of their "created glory"--their wealth, goods, substance, means, men and other resources--converting it into the hands of the righteous, a happening already being widely forecasted in charismatic Christianity. Insightful and thought provoking, A Prosperity Phenomenon will offer you a renewed sense of hope in the midst of global turmoil. This God-given message of purpose and prosperity will encourage you to face uncertain times in a different light, reminding you that God is in control and faithful to those who love Him.




Unruly Catholics from Dante to Madonna


Book Description

Essays in Unruly Catholics explore how renowned Catholic literary figures Dante Alighieri, Oscar Wilde, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Gerard Manley Hopkins dealt with the disparities between their personal beliefs and the Church’s official teachings. Contributors also suggest how controversial entertainers such as Madonna, Kevin Smith, Michael Moore, and Stephen Colbert practice forms of Catholicism perhaps worthy of respect. Most pointedly, Unruly Catholics addresses the recent sex abuse scandals, considers the possibility that the Church might be reformed from within, and presents three iconic figures—Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, and C.S. Lewis—as models of compassionate and reformist Christianity.
