A New Basis for Animal Ethics


Book Description

This book, the culmination of forty years of theorizing about the moral status of animals, explicates and justifies society’s moral obligation to animals in terms of the commonsense metaphysics and ethics ofAristotle’s concept of telos. Rollin uses this concept to assert that humans have a responsibility to treat animals ethically. Aristotle used the concept, from the Greek word for "end" or "purpose," as the core explanatory concept for the world we live in. We understand what an animal is by what it does. This is the nature of an animal, and helps us understand our obligations to animals.

Telos Welcoming New Earth


Book Description

This work is gifted to us by Adama, the High Priest of Telos and his messenger Bryan Tilghman. Telos is a city of crystal and light deep in the heart of the mountain of Mount Shasta, California. The Lemurians have always been here living alongside us in the higher realms of the 5th dimension. They have patiently awaited the day when they would be able to step forward with others to assist us in this grand project. Our world is changing quickly now as we step firmly through the doorway of a grand, cosmic scale event that is the accelerating evolution of humanity. Gaia and the many kingdoms that share our world are in the midst of their ascension process also. Everyone and everything is being affected whether consciously aware or not and it behooves us to have some understanding of the shifts taking place. This work may be considered as a guidebook for our planetary ascension process. Higher vibrational frequencies of light/information and energy are flooding our planet like never before, and Gaia's electromagnetic fields are shifting us into higher vibrational frequencies. We are receiving wave after wave of Christ Consciousness and Divine Feminine energies, and these shifts are assisting us to wake us up as we expand into higher levels of awareness. We are being guided now in a more or less natural way to begin seeking our spiritual well-being. As we step forward to reclaim our divine sovereignty, we are also expanding beyond the old paradigms, beliefs and constructs that have created the grossly imbalanced world we live in today. The old constructs will begin to fall away as we are naturally guided to have more awareness, love and compassion for ourselves and others. It is by and through this new awareness and rising consciousness that humanity will co-create our New Earth with Father/Mother God and the Company of Heaven. Adama brings forth the wisdom of Lemuria to assist us both on our personal and collective journeys through this next great shift. We glimpse the magnificence of the Inner Earth and one of its most radiant cities of light. Adama invites us to become reacquainted with our Lemurian family in Telos. He offers us great hope for the collective future of our planet as we move boldly into our next golden age and the creation of our New Earth.




Telos


Book Description

Discover the Science of Purpose Atheistic scientists have lied about humanity’s intelligent design for centuries, and their lies have decayed our culture into the social dystopia continually ripening before our eyes. Life and death have purpose, and we belong to all of it, which the ancient Greeks understood as Telos, meaning "the end as it was intended." Join Dr. Stephen Iacoboni, award-winning cancer specialist, as he recounts his impassioned search to discover humanity’s true origin and purpose. Not only does he address in plain, straightforward language how modern science points inextricably to God’s hand on earth, but he also ● reviews the history of western science and philosophy, ● challenges misguided theories from academic titans such as Aristotle, Newton, and Darwin, ● addresses complex questions regarding the human soul, ● equips the nonscientist with a confident understanding of how science validates faith, and ● helps readers reclaim a profound sense of individual purpose and meaning. The time has come to resurrect ancient biblical truth and restore it to its rightful place. It will be a battle royale for the hearts and minds of our civilization, but the treasure is our spiritual inheritance—the greatest gift we will ever receive.




Myth, Telos, Identity


Book Description

Iván Nyusztay’s Myth, Telos, Identity: The Tragic Schema in Greek and Shakespearean Drama for the first time presents a systematic comparison of Greek and Shakespearean tragedy. By thematizing the common modes of the tragic, it measures their structural regularities against corresponding philosophical and ethical reflections. The comparative theory of tragedy evolves through a constant debate with the traditional views of Aristotle, Hegel, Schelling, Paul Ricoeur, and others. An architectonic survey of plays leads to a generic distinction between pure tragedy and melodrama, and proposes a possible description of Christian tragedy. This generic differentiation is considered by means of a teleological approach to tragedy as well as from a formal perspective. The criticism of traditional notions of character stresses the relevance of dividedness and internal collision – tragic phenomena which are explored as necessary stages of self in the constitution and formation of tragic or internal alterity. This form of alterity is underpinned by a discussion of action theory and speech act theory. This book will be of interest for readers of Greek and Shakespearean drama, as well as for students of comparative literature and genre theory, classicists and philosophers, and for everyone interested in the relation between literature and philosophy.




Narrative and Identity in the Ancient Greek Novel


Book Description

The Greek romance was for the Roman period what epic was for the Archaic period or drama for the Classical: the central literary vehicle for articulating ideas about the relationship between self and community. This book offers a reading of the romance both as a distinctive narrative form (using a range of narrative theories) and as a paradigmatic expression of identity (social, sexual and cultural). At the same time it emphasises the elasticity of romance narrative and its ability to accommodate both conservative and transformative models of identity. This elasticity manifests itself partly in the variation in practice between different romancers, some of whom are traditionally Hellenocentric while others are more challenging. Ultimately, however, it is argued that it reflects a tension in all romance narrative, which characteristically balances centrifugal against centripetal dynamics. This book will interest classicists, historians of the novel and students of narrative theory.
