John Panteleimon Manoussakis, “God after Metaphysics: A Theological Aesthetic” (Indiana Series in the Philosophy of Religion)
Indiana University Press (2007) | English | ISBN 0253348803 | 237 pages | PDF | 1.44 MB
While philosophy believes it is impossible to have an experience of God without the senses, theology claims that such an experience is possible, though potentially idolatrous. In this engagingly creative book, John Panteleimon Manoussakis ends the impasse by proposing an aesthetic allowing for a sensuous experience of God that is not subordinated to imposed categories or concepts. Manoussakis draws upon the theological traditions of the Eastern Church, including patristic and liturgical resources, to build a theological aesthetic founded on the inverted gaze of icons, the augmented language of hymns, and the reciprocity of touch. Manoussakis explores how a relational interpretation of being develops a fuller and more meaningful view of the phenomenology of religious experience beyond metaphysics and ontotheology.

Quentin J. Schultze, “Christianity and the Mass Media in America: Toward a Democratic Accommodation” (Rhetoric and Public Affairs Series)
Michigan State University Press (2003) | English | ISBN 0870136968 | 453 pages | PDF | 1.25 MB
The mass media and religious groups in America regularly argue about news bias, sex and violence on television, movie censorship, advertiser boycotts, broadcast and film content rating systems, government regulation of the media, the role of mass evangelism in a democracy, and many other issues. In the United States the major disputes between religion and the media usually have involved Christian churches or parachurch ministries, on the one hand, and so- called secular media, on the other. Often the Christian Right locks horns with supposedly liberal Eastern media elite and Hollywood entertainment companies. When a major Protestant denomination calls for an economic boycott of Disney, the resulting news reports suggest business as usual in the tensions between faith groups and media empires.

Max Harris, “Carnival and Other Christian Festivals: Folk Theology and Folk Performance” (Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art and Culture)
University of Texas Press (2003) | English | ISBN 0292701918 | 301 pages | PDF | 8.90 MB
With a riotous mix of saints and devils, street theater and dancing, and music and fireworks, Christian festivals are some of the most lively and colorful spectacles that occur in Spain and its former European and American possessions. That these folk celebrations, with roots reaching back to medieval times, remain vibrant in the high-tech culture of the twenty-first century strongly suggests that they also provide an indispensable vehicle for expressing hopes, fears, and desires that people can articulate in no other way.

Jon M. Sweeney, “Almost Catholic: An Appreciation of the History, Practice, and Mystery of Ancient Faith”
Jossey-Bass (2008) | English | ISBN 0787994707 | 246 pages | PDF | 1.32 MB
Jon Sweeney, a self-described “evolved Protestant” and noted religious writer, has long been fascinated by the Catholic Church. However, it wasn’t until he was a young missionary in the Philippines that he truly began to understand the Church’s traditions, mysteries, and religious beliefs and its hold on those who follow the tradition. As he explains, Catholic spirituality is all about responding to the fundamental mystery of Jesus, the incarnation, and what it all meant in the beginning as well as what it means today. In Almost Catholic, Sweeney offers an appreciation of Catholicism, weaving in the story of his own explorations with those of others who have also been attracted to this tradition. He finds himself drawn to the Church’s ancient and medieval traditions out of a desire to connect with the deepest and widest paths on the way. Two millennia of saints and practices and teachings and mystery form a connection for him to the very beginnings of Christianity.

Matthew L. Lamb & Matthew Levering, “Vatican II: Renewal within Tradition”
Oxford University Press (2008) | English | ISBN 0195332687 | 492 pages | PDF | 1.73 MB
From 1962 to 1965, in perhaps the most important religious event of the twentieth century, the Second Vatican Council met to plot a course for the future of the Roman Catholic Church. After thousands of speeches, resolutions, and votes, the Council issued sixteen official documents on topics ranging from divine revelation to relations with non-Christians. In many ways, though, the real challenges began after the council was over and Catholics began to argue over the interpretation of the documents. Many analysts perceived the Council’s far-reaching changes as breaks with Church tradition, and soon this became the dominant bias in the American and other media, which lacked the theological background to approach the documents on their own terms. In Vatican II: Renewal Within Tradition, an international team of theologians offers a different reading of the documents from Vatican II. The Council was indeed putting forth a vision for the future of the Church, but that vision was grounded in two millennia of tradition. Taken together, these essays demonstrate that Vatican II’s documents are a development from an established antecedent in the Roman Catholic Church. Each chapter contextualizes Vatican II teachings within that rich tradition. The resulting book is an indispensable and accessible companion to the Council’s developments, one that focuses on theology and transcends the mass-media storyline of “liberal” versus “conservative.”

On Moral Considerability: An Essay on Who Morally Matters
Oxford University Press | 1998-11-19 | ISBN: 0195123913 | 208 pages | PDF | 10,3 MB
In this fresh and powerfully argued book, Mark Bernstein identifies the qualities that make an entity deserving of moral consideration. It is frequently assumed that only (normal) human beings count. Bernstein argues instead for “experientialism”–the view that having conscious experiences is necessary and sufficient for moral standing. He demonstrates that this position requires us to include many non-human animals in our moral realm, but not to the extent that many deep ecologists champion.

Peter C. Hodgson, “Hegel and Christian Theology: A Reading of the Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion”
Oxford University Press (2007) | English | ISBN 0199235716 | 323 pages | PDF | 1.21 MB
Hegel’s Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion is one of the most important resources from the nineteenth century for theology as it faces the challenges of modernity and postmodernity. A critical edition of these lectures was published in the 1980s, which makes possible a study of the text on a level of accuracy and insight hitherto unattainable. The present book (by the editor and translator of the critical edition) engages the speculative reconstruction of Christian theology that is accomplished in Hegel’s lectures, and it provides a close reading of the text as a whole. The first part argues that Hegel’s philosophy of religion is a philosophical theology focused on the concept of spirit, provides an overview of his writings on religion prior to the philosophy of religion, outlines his conception of the object and purpose of the philosophy of religion, and summarizes his critique of the theology of his time. The second part presents Hegel’s version of Christian theology: his approach to Christianity within the framework of the concept of religion, his concept of God, his reconstruction of central Christian themes (Trinity, creation, humanity, evil, Christ, Spirit, community), and his placing of Christianity among the religions of the world. The concluding part makes a case for the contemporary theological significance of Hegel by arguing that his thought provides resources for revisioning central doctrinal themes in contrast to the reigning dogmatisms of our time, philosophical agnosticism and religious fundamentalism. The book is published concurrently with the reissuing by Oxford University Press of the Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion.

Moral Uncertainty and Its Consequences
Oxford University Press | 2000-04-20 | ISBN: 0195126106 | 232 pages | PDF | 10,3 MB
We are often uncertain how to behave morally in complex situations. In this controversial study, Ted Lockhart contends that moral philosophy has failed to address how we make such moral decisions. Adapting decision theory to the task of decision-making under moral uncertainly, he proposes that we should not always act how we feel we ought to act, and that sometimes we should act against what we feel to be morally right. Lockhart also discusses abortion extensively and proposes new ways to deal with the ethical and moral issues which surround it.

Webb Keane, “Christian Moderns: Freedom and Fetish in the Mission Encounter” (The Anthropology of Christianity)
University of California Press (2007) | English | ISBN 0520246527 | 342 pages | PDF | 2.38 MB
Across much of the postcolonial world, Christianity has often become inseparable from ideas and practices linking the concept of modernity to that of human emancipation. To explore these links, Webb Keane undertakes a rich ethnographic study of the century-long encounter, from the colonial Dutch East Indies to post-independence Indonesia, among Calvinist missionaries, their converts, and those who resist conversion. Keane’s analysis of their struggles over such things as prayers, offerings, and the value of money challenges familiar notions about agency. Through its exploration of language, materiality, and morality, this book illuminates a wide range of debates in social and cultural theory. It demonstrates the crucial place of Christianity in semiotic ideologies of modernity and sheds new light on the importance of religion in colonial and postcolonial histories.

Phenomenological Epistemology
Oxford University Press | 2000-01-27 | ISBN: 0195131908 | 224 pages | PDF | 13,3 MB
This work offers a provocative new historical and systematic interpretation of the epistemological doctrines of three twentieth-century giants: Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty. Pietersma argues that these three philosophers, while connected by their phenomenological doctrines, have underappreciated and interestingly-linked views on the theory of knowledge.

Thinking without Words (Philosophy of Mind Series)
Oxford University Press | 2003-03-27 | ISBN: 0195159691 | 248 pages | PDF | 14,3 MB
Thinking without Words provides a challenging new theory of the nature of non-linguistic thought. Many scientific disciplines treat non-linguistic creatures as thinkers, explaining their behavior in terms of their thoughts about themselves and about the environment. But this theorizing has proceeded without any clear account of the types of thinking available to non-linguistic creatures. One consequence of this is that ascriptions of thoughts to non-linguistic creatures have frequently been held to be metaphorical and not to be taken at face value. Bermudez offers a conceptual framework for treating human infants and non-human animals as genuine thinkers. Whereas existing discussions of thought at the non-linguistic level have concentrated on how such thoughts might be physically realized, Bermudez approaches the problem by considering what is required in explaining

Gilles Emery, “The Trinitarian Theology of St Thomas Aquinas”
Oxford University Press (2007) | English | ISBN 0199206821 | 456 pages | PDF | 1.62 MB
A historical and systematic introduction to what the medieval philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) said about faith in the Trinity. Gilles Emery OP provides an explanation of the main questions in Thomas’s treatise on the Trinity in his major work, the Summa Theologiae. His presentation clarifies the key ideas through which Thomas accounts for the nature of Trinitarian monotheism. Emery focuses on the personal relations of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, both in their eternal communion and in their creative and saving action. By highlighting the thought of one of the greatest defenders of the doctrine of the Trinity, he enables people to grasp the classical Christian understanding of God.

J. J. C. Smart & J. J. Haldane, “Atheism and Theism” (Great Debates in Philosophy)
Blackwell Publishing | 2nd edition (2003) | English | ISBN 0631232591 | 287 pages | PDF | 3.96 MB
The issue of whether or not there is a God is one of the oldest and most widely disputed philosophical questions. It is a debate that spreads far across the range of philosophical questions about the status of science, the nature of mind, the character of good and evil, the epistemology of experience and testimony, and so on. In this book two philosophers, each committed to unambiguous versions of belief and disbelief, debate the central issues of atheism and theism. Smart opens the debate by arguing that theism is philosophically untenable and seeks to explain metaphysical truth in the light of total science. Haldane continues the discussion by affirming that the existence of the world, and the possibility of our coming to have knowledge of it, depend upon the existence of a creating, sustaining, personal God. This is followed by replies, where each philosopher has the chance to respond and to defend his position. This second edition contains new essays by each philosopher, responding to criticisms and building on their previous work.

Variational Methods for Strongly Indefinite Problems (Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences)
World Scientific Publishing Company | Pages:176 | 2007-07-30 | ISBN:9812709622 | CHM | 1 MB
This unique book focuses on critical point theory for strongly indefinite functionals in order to deal with nonlinear variational problems in areas such as physics, mechanics and economics. With the original ingredients of Lipschitz partitions of unity of gage spaces (nonmetrizable spaces), Lipschitz normality, and sufficient conditions for the normality, as well as existence-uniqueness of flow of ODE on gage spaces, the book presents for the first time a deformation theory in locally convex topological vector spaces. It also offers satisfying variational settings for homoclinic-type solutions to Hamiltonian systems, Schrödinger equations, Dirac equations and diffusion systems, and describes recent developments in studying these problems. The concepts and methods used open up new topics worthy of in-depth exploration, and link the subject with other branches of mathematics, such as topology and geometry, providing a perspective for further studies in these areas. The analytical framework can be used to handle more infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems.

Linearization of Chains and Sideward Movement (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs)
The MIT Press | Pages:210 | 2004-06-01 | ISBN:0262640554 | CHM | 3 MB
This highly original monograph treats movement operations within the Minimalist Program. Jairo Nunes argues that traces are not grammatical primitives and that their properties follow from deeper features of the system, and, in particular, that the phonetic realization of traces is determined by linearization computations coupled with economy conditions regarding deletion. He proposes a version of the copy theory of movement according to which movement must be construed as a description of the interaction of the independent operations Copy, Merge, Form Chain, and Chain Reduction. Empirical evidence to support this claim includes instances of “sideward movement” between subtrees in a derivation. According to this analysis, the linearization of chains in the phonological component constrains sideward movement so that it is possible to account for standard properties of multiple gap constructions, including parasitic gap and ATB constructions, without construction-specific operations or principles that are not independently motivated.

Erik Banks “Working the Street: What You Need to Know About Life on Wall Street”
Palgrave Macmillan | 2004-02-07 | ISBN: 1403963770 | 176 pages | PDF | 1,5 Mb
Written by a former Managing Director at Merrill Lynch, Working the Street is the resource for readers hoping to build a successful career on Wall Street. It is not a “how-to” career book or a job guide. It doesn’t tell the reader who to contact for a job or what classes to take to prepare for a career in banking, and it is not a book about the technical “nuts and bolts” of Wall Street. What this book does tell the reader is about some of the “ins and outs” of Wall Street; about how things really work in the banking world; about some of the speed bumps to watch out for and some of the “low hanging fruit” that is ripe for the picking, from getting in the door and developing positive habits, to getting a bonus and handling retirement. In order to really succeed, it is necessary to know as much as possible about how Wall Street really works. Working the Street goes a long way in providing exactly that.
