Ill-Being: Philosophical Perspectives

In early China and ancient Greece, self-cultivation was considered crucial for leading a flourishing, fulfilled life. In this cross-cultural study, David Machek presents and interprets six influential Greek and Chinese self-cultivation theories advocated by Mengzi, Zhuangzi and Xunzi, as well as Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics, in order to put forward the overarching narrative that self-cultivation amounts to strengthening the best part of the human self - the heart in the Chinese context, and the mind in the Greek context. Advancing new readings of classic texts, Machek shows that Greek approaches to self-cultivation privilege intellectual pursuits, while Chinese approaches give more weight to non-intellectual activities, such as learning manual crafts and performing rituals. He also demonstrates how both ancient traditions understand the self as a heterogeneous community of organic entities, each needing different provisions to flourish, which aligns the ancient Greek view closer to the early Chinese view. As such, this book reinforces the underlying structural and conceptual similarities between the two traditions and makes an important contribution to diversifying philosophical conversations.

The Concept of Holiness (1961) examines one of the most distinctively religious concepts in the sphere of Hebrew and Christian belief. The intimate connections between this concept and the associate notions of fear, power, separatedness, wholeness and goodness are carefully unfolded, and the analysis shows that in none of its connections can holiness be fairly understood unless reference is made to the key-concept of divine personality. After giving a suggestive philosophical account of this key-concept by linking it with the notion of a ‘perfect vision’, the author shows how the concept of holiness in its manifold connections is thereby illuminated.

The Concept of Holiness

What is the best way to age well and live longer? For decades, millions of people have tried to crack the secret of time and how to withstand it. The question affects the way we eat, treatments we invest in, and expensive packages sold by online gurus offering magical solutions. But without understanding the physical and spiritual links between quantum physics, biology and issues plaguing the body like inflammation, stress, and aging, the answer will continue to elude us. In Quantum Body, international bestselling author Deepak Chopra teams up with world renowned physicist Jack Tuszynski and leading endocrinologist Brian Fertig, MD to reveal the new frontiers in health and aging. Timely and accessible, this book expands the barriers of science and invites you on the path to individual healing and longevity.

"A compelling collection of the life-changing writings of William JamesWilliam James-psychologist, philosopher, and spiritual seeker-is one of those rare writers who can speak directly and powerfully to anyone about life's meaning and worth, and whose ideas not only change how people think, but how they live. The thinker who helped found the philosophy of pragmatism and inspire Alcoholics Anonymous, James famously asked "is life worth living?" Bringing together many of his best and most popular essays, talks, and other writings, this anthology presents James's answer to that and other existential questions, in his own unique manner-caring, humorous, eloquent, incisive, humble, and forever on the trail of the "ever not quite."Here we meet a James perfectly attuned to the concerns of today-one who argues for human freedom, articulates a healthy-minded psychology, urges us to explore the stream of consciousness, presents a new definition of truth based on its practical consequences, and never forecloses the possibility of mystical transcendence. Introduced by John Kaag and Jonathan van Belle, these compelling and accessible selections reveal why James is one of the great guides to the business of living"--

Be Not Afraid of Life

Stoic results without all the virtuousness. Epicureanism shows you how to have a good life, but with added JOY.

Public interest in re-discovering ancient practical wisdom continues to rise, primarily on the back of Stoicism. Epicureanism, invented by the original Greek rockstar, Epicurus, overlaps with Stoicism and offers a more fun way of getting the same results. EPICURUS AND THE ART OF HAPPINESS draws on contemporary science and psychology to present an accessible, fun, yet philosophically rigorous explanation of the philosophy, addressing how to live a good life; how to seek pleasure and not get sick of it; how to find self-sufficiency and adopt a 'less is more' mentality without having to feel like you're giving something up! It asks important questions about the essential components of sustainably good living and how we can identify unnecessary distractions from our overall wellbeing. The book is peppered with Epicurean-esque recipes so you will know exactly where to start to live the best kind of life.

This outstanding introduction to Cavendish's philosophy explores the full span of her work. Including a chronology, glossary, and suggestions for further reading, Cavendish is an ideal starting point for anyone coming to Cavendish's philosophy for the first time.

Original, ingenuous, and heterodox the philosopher Margaret Cavendish (1661-1717) is one of the most important writers and thinkers of the seventeenth century. Almost entirely self-taught, as well as engaging deeply with the philosophical currents of her time she wrote on a rich array of topics including gender, science and manners. Her utopian novel, The Blazing World, is one of the earliest works of science fiction.In this outstanding introduction to Cavendish's philosophy Alison Peterman explores the full span of Cavendish's work. She begins by examining Cavendish's metaphysics, in particular her view that matter is divisible, sensitive and rational and that the only kind of change is motion, contrasting Cavendish's approach with that of other 'mechanical' philosophers Descartes, Hobbes, Boyle and Gassendi. Peterman then assesses Cavendish’s arguments concerning order and causation in nature, particularly her view that order can only be explained if nature is whole and that matter has ‘sense’ and ‘reason’, before turning to her theory of the human mind and perception, knowledge and scientific method. Finally, she explains and assesses Cavendish’s ethics and politics, returning to her distinction between the natural and artificial and how her moral and political views are evident in her poetry, fiction, plays and other literary writings.Including a chronology, glossary of key terms, and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, Cavendish is an ideal starting point for anyone coming to Cavendish’s philosophy for the first time. It will also be of great interest to those studying seventeenth century philosophy, metaphysics, the history and philosophy of science, and women philosophers in early modern philosophy.
