Result for "Asa" in Politics & Social Sciences

Nach dem Tod von Mahsa Jina Amini im September 2022, der landesweite Proteste auslöste, geht auch Nila auf die Straße. Die Angst ist der ständige Begleiter der Frauen, die gemeinsam für ihre Rechte kämpfen - bedroht und eingeschüchtert von der berüchtigten Sittenpolizei, die wahllos verhaftet, foltert und tötet. Eindringlich und bewegend schildert Nila ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen als Aktivistin auf den Straßen Teherans und setzt diese in den Kontext einer langen Geschichte weiblicher Stärke in Iran.

We, Western minds, have forgotten who we are, despite having never once stopped being who we are. We've lost touch with the impersonal, Daimonic forces that give us direction and the sacrificial nature of our existence. No longer do we realize that our lives aren't, have never been, and will never be about ourselves. Consequently, we've lost our ability to sense the immanent context that couches our lives in meaning and purpose. Our alienation from our own inborn nature and role has led to a tragic schism: a divorce between essence and narrative, being and action.

Today, anxiety is usually thought of as a pathology, the most diagnosed and medicated of all psychological disorders. But anxiety isn't always or only a medical condition. Indeed, many philosophers argue that anxiety is a normal, even essential, part of being human, and that coming to terms with this fact is potentially transformative. In Anxiety, Samir Chopra explores valuable insights about anxiety offered by ancient and modern philosophies. Blending memoir and philosophy, he also tells how serious anxiety has affected his own life—and how philosophy has helped him cope with it.

I explore big ideas with interesting people.

When Thomas Aquinas addressed the best arguments against God in his masterwork, the Summa Theologica, he listed only two. The first was the problem of evil: How can God—who is perfectly good—exist alongside that which is against Him? His second: Is God needed to explain the world? Patrick Flynn presents the best arguments for God while also addressing the strongest objections. This book is destined to become the apologetic gold standard for defending classical theism against atheistic naturalism.

We've all had to fight our way through administrative sludge-filling out complicated online forms, mailing in paperwork, standing in line at the motor vehicle registry. This kind of red tape is a nuisance, but, as Cass Sunstein shows in Sludge, it can also also impair health, reduce growth, entrench poverty, and exacerbate inequality.

But in fact, many of the notions ...

In The Thread of Theseus, a bold and thought-provoking exploration of consciousness, identity, and transformation, the classic philosophical puzzle of the Ship of Theseus becomes the entry point to a rich synthesis of modern science and ancient wisdom. Bridging physics, biology, and spirituality, this book offers a radical new hypothesis: that the self is not fixed or isolated, but a living, evolving pattern—an entangled self—woven through time, memory, and matter.
