Free Download Peter Atterton, "Face to Face With Animals: Levinas and the Animal Question"
English | ISBN: 1438474091 | 2019 | 230 pages | PDF | 1270 KB
This is the first volume of primary and secondary source material dedicated solely to the animal question in Levinas. Drawing on previously unpublished material, including the recent discovery and digitization of the original French recording of an interview with Levinas that took place in 1986, it seeks to give fresh impetus to the debate surrounding the moral status of animals in Levinas’s work. The book offers ten essays by leading scholars, along with a general introduction that places Levinas’s philosophy in the context of the growing field of animal ethics. The aim of the volume is to encourage dialogue on how we can extend Levinas’s ethics beyond its traditional human confines and to spur further research on the opportunities and challenges it raises.

The policy of systematic destruction of the cultural heritage in the Serbian-Bosnian-Croation war has led to the loss of many prehistoric and historic remains in Dalmatia. Since many of the sites can no longer be visited, this project, in the Zadar lowlands, represents the last chance for a generation to study the archaeological and paleo-environmental field remains of the largest and most fertile plain in the East Adriatic. The core fieldwork consisted of an intensive field survey of over 120 sq. km of lowland, trial excavations on six sites (from Neolthic to Roman) and soil investigations of the total surveyed area. One archive-based chapter discusses the history of the area in the early medieval and Ottoman periods. A project of immense value heightened by the tragic background against which it must now be read.

The Disfigured Face Traditional Natural Law and Its Encounter with Modernity (Moral Philosophy and Moral Theology)

English | 2008 | ISBN: 0823228533 | PDF | pages: 156 | 0.8 mb
The central argument of this book is that the traditional notion of Natural Law has almost disappeared from the ethical and moral discourse of our time. For Thomas Aquinas, the author whose conception of Natural Law forms the foundation for the book, the ontological and ethical orders are not autonomous but inseparable-in effect, his ethical system is an "ontological morality." For Thomas, the ethical (practical wisdom) must be understood as an extension of the metaphysical (speculative wisdom).

Psychologist and former officer in the Danish Army Special Operations Forces, Lars Robl, helps some of Denmark’s top athletes and business leaders to stay calm, achieve results and bring home the gold medal when the going gets tough. He now shares his experiences and methods with the readers.
Robl has assisted esport champions Astralis, tennis star Holger Rune and manager of the Danish national football team, Kasper Hjulmand, during the European Championships after Christian Eriksen’s collapse on the pitch. He has been on the executive floor of major Danish companies such as Kellogg’s, Coloplast, Oticon and Topdanmark. And he speaks of first hand experience having been at the front line in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We look behind the great achievements and perilous moments and understand what it takes to overcome great obstacles, your own resistance, reach the finish line and obtain success. Training and focus are both imperative, but not enough. It is also about being true to one’s innermost dreams and withstanding fear and insecurity when failure is starring you right in the face.
