Paperback. Zustand: Good. Evil is as problematic today as it was for the founders of the world's religions or the philosophers of the ancient world. In Evil and the Response of World Religions, William Cenkner has gathered 19 essays--from authorities such as Peter C. Phan, Wande Abimbola, Riffat Hassan, Paul Badham, Chandra Wikramagamage, and Mary Ann Stenger--which reflect not only the wisdom of the West, Asia, and Africa, but also contemporary insights from feminist, liberationist, and ecological perspectives. All writers face a similar enigma as human potential increases along with the possibility of human depravity. Religions, both East and West, have responded to the problem of evil through their shamans, prophets, and wisdom figures with understanding and profound consideration. Each tradition, either collectively or through individual thinkers, has something distinct and important to say. The purpose this book is to identify causes and possible solutions to particular manifestations of evil--such as war, racism, consumerism, and family fragmentation.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The integral worldview represents the next crucial step in the development of our civilization. Through its enlarged understanding of the evolution of consciousness and culture, the emerging perspective known as integral consciousness provides realistic and pragmatic solutions to our growing global problems, both environmental and political. As McIntosh convincingly demonstrates, the integral worldview's transformational potential provides a way to literally become the change we want to see in the world. This is really two books in one: the first half serves as an accessible and highly readable introduction to the power of integral consciousness, with the second half making a variety of original contributions to the integral perspective and breaking new ground in the application of integral philosophy to politics and spirituality. Moreover, McIntosh provides a much-needed contextualization and critique of the integral worldview's leading author, Ken Wilber, which helps make integral philosophy relevant to a larger audience.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Marc Prensky presents the case―profoundly counter-cultural but true nevertheless―that video and computer game playing, within limits, is actually very beneficial to today's Digital Native kids, who are using them to prepare themselves for life in the 21st century. The reason kids are so attracted to these games, Prensky says, is that they are learning about important future things, from collaboration, to prudent risk taking, to strategy formulation and execution, to complex moral and ethical decisions. Prensky's arguments are backed up by university PhD's studying not just violence, but games in their totality, as well as studies of gamers who have become successful corporate workers, entrepreneurs, leaders, doctors, lawyers, scientists and other professionals. Because most adults (including the critics) can't play the modern complex games themselves (and discount the opinions of the kids who do play them) they rely on secondhand sources of information, most of whom are sadly misinformed about both the putative harm and the true benefits of game-playing. This book is the antidote to those misinformed, bombastic sources, in the press and elsewhere. Full of common sense and practical information, it provides parents with a large number of techniques approaches they can use―both over time and right away―to improve both their understanding of games and their relationships with their kids. The aim of this book is to give you a peek into the hidden world into which your kids disappear when they are playing games, and to help you as an adult―especially if you are a concerned parent or teacher―understand and appreciate just how much your kids are learning that is positive from their video and computer games. In the few short hours it takes to read this book, you will learn: What it feels like to be in the world of computer and video games How to appreciate the breadth and depth of modern computer and video games and the ways they make your kids learn How to understand the various useful skills your game-playing your kids are acquiring How to understand your own kids better and build better relationships using games as a base And, most importantly, How to augment and improve what your kids are learning by having conversations they want to have about their games.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. American politics are badly broken. Yet to solve the seemingly intractable problem of hyperpolarization, we need to look beyond the gridlocked politics of Washington D.C. In Developmental Politics, Steve McIntosh shows how this growing rift in the fabric of American society is a cultural problem that requires a cultural solution. He offers a pragmatic yet inspiring approach to our national political dilemma through a new politics of culture--one that goes right to the heart of this entrenched, complex issue. McIntosh presents a variety of innovative methods through which citizens and political leaders from across the political spectrum can reach agreement and achieve consensus. McIntosh's proposals for overcoming hyperpolarization are founded on an emerging form of cultural intelligence that directly addresses the conflicting values underlying our poisoned politics. This new way of seeing leads to an inclusive vision of social progress--a new American Dream--that can help revive our collective sense of common cause and thereby restore the functionality of our democracy. Developmental Politics provides the fresh thinking we need to transcend America's contemporary political impasse.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The search for meaning, which is so crucial for psychological health, has lost its traditional anchors. As a result, millions of individuals are creating their own belief systems. This shift began back in the Sixties, as people left traditional religion and began exploring other forms of spirituality.Social contradictions demonstrate the complex factors around the topic of the spiritual life in the West. We have reached a pivotal moment where many negative forces seem to be pulling us apart, even while powerful forces for the good, especially seen through rapidly growing global communication, are bringing people around the world ever closer together.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Enlightenment Process describes the process of enlightenment as the gradual realization of our most subtle dimension of unified, all-pervasive consciousness. It also explains how we uncover our authentic selfhood and embodiment at the same time as we arrive at our spiritual oneness with other people, the world, and cosmos. Using a set of simple but effective meditational and physical exercises for "subtle self" work, Judith Blackstone clearly and expertly indicates the way in which we can deepen our spiritual awareness, develop our capacity for contact with other people, and reconnect with the world. Her lifetime of experience in depth-psychology, bodywork, and Kundalini yoga gives this book a distinctive authority and clarity. This revised and expanded version of The Enlightenment Process is an invaluable guide that will lead readers in navigating the confusing or conflicting teachings on enlightenment. It does this by giving a more comprehensive description of the enlightened state. Anyone who has already started on the spiritual path or has a background in psychotherapy will be able to appreciate The Enlightenment Process more fully as it is a significant contribution to our understanding of the more advanced stages of personal growth. Included in the book are 18 practical exercises that will assist readers on this path to self-awareness.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Global Justice is part of a two-volume set (with Global Ethics) that will aid in the study of global justice and global ethical issues with significant global dimensions. Some of those issues directly concern what individuals, countries, and other associations ought to do in response to various global problems, such as poverty, population growth, and climate change. Others concern the concepts that are commonly used to discuss such issues, such as development and human rights. And still others concern the legitimacy of various phenomena that structure the global scene, such as national borders, the institutions of national sovereignty and self-determination, and attitudes such as nationalism and patriotism.In recent decades, literature on such issues has started to build up in the Western philosophical tradition. Until now, though, no up-to-date sample of this literature has been available to students and other interested parties. These two books, companion volumes sold separately, fill this gap by providing a sample of the best recent work on these themes.…
