Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It has become fashionable in certain intellectual circles to trace our present of alternative facts and denialism back to Foucault and what critics claim to be the way he undermines the stable notion of truth. In The Force of Truth, Daniele Lorenzini explains why this understanding of Foucault stems from a fundamental misreading of his work. Foucault was not interested in defining what truth is, nor in elaborating or defending a specific theory of truth. Instead, Lorenzini shows, Foucault's project of a history of truth aims to trace the genealogy of the main regimes of truth that have emerged throughout human history and are relevant for us today. In this fundamental re-reading of Foucault's critical project as a whole, The Force of Truth provides a new understanding of Foucault's history of truth and a clear statement on one of the most pressing matters concerning Foucault's legacy. Foucault does not reduce the question of truth to a purely logical or epistemological question, or to the philosophical task of elaborating a definition or theory of truth; he constantly asks us to be surprised by the proliferation of true discourses throughout human history, and never to take for granted their emergence and existence"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gandhi's Salt March united all Indians in peaceful protest for independence. Yet British forces met them with violence and imprisonment. In this story of India's struggle for freedom, we'll learn how Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolent action overpowered the British government. And we'll witness how Gandhi's actions influenced civil rights movements around the world. "With this salt, I am rocking the foundations of an Empire."―Mohandas Gandhi, 1930 On April 6, 1930, Mohandas Gandhi stood on the coast of the Arabian Sea in western India. He and his followers had walked 241 miles (388 kilometers) to reach this place. Now, at the end of their long journey, Gandhi made a simple gesture marking the beginning of a revolution: he reached down, grabbed a clump of sea salt, and raised it overhead. This signaled to all Indians to embark on a course of civil disobedience―making and selling their own salt. At this time, India had been ruled by the British Empire for more than 200 years. The British had taken control of India's main industries, including its highly profitable salt manufacturing process. By law, Indians were not allowed to produce their own salt―or to even pick up a lump of sea salt. Everyone in India, no matter how poor, paid a salt tax to the British government.

Download or read book Post-Truth written by Steve Fuller and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Post-truth’ was Oxford Dictionaries 2016 word of the year. While the term was coined by its disparagers in the light of the Brexit and US presidential campaigns, the roots of post-truth lie deep in the history of Western social and political theory. Post-Truth reaches back to Plato, ranging across theology and philosophy, to focus on the Machiavellian tradition in classical sociology, as exemplified by Vilfredo Pareto, who offered the original modern account of post-truth in terms of the ‘circulation of elites’. The defining feature of ‘post-truth’ is a strong distinction between appearance and reality which is never quite resolved and so the strongest appearance ends up passing for reality. The only question is whether more is gained by rapid changes in appearance or by stabilizing one such appearance. Post-Truth plays out what this means for both politics and science.

After years of working as a healer and author, Shavasti suddenly finds himself with a gun to his head during a harrowing armed robbery experience. This book will take you on a very intimate journey with him as he discovers all of the pitfalls, illusions and delusions we can easily become trapped in on a path of personal and spiritual development. He welcomes you to this journey of awakening. In part biographical, this latest work by Shavasti is filled with profound teachings and a level of candor that will invite you to meet yourself with both authenticity and compassion aiding the longed -for awakening of your very own heart. His moving, and sometimes challenging, words will help you bridge the gap between where you are now, possibly after many years of searching, to get more than just a glimpse of what many enlightened teachers have already shared. Shavasti has had many non-induced glimpses of the eternal, some of these experiences lasting for hours or days at a time, and what he shares with you is all that he absolutely knows to be true through his experiences as a healer, meditator and explorer of consciousness as layers upon layer of defenses fell away to reveal an ever-awakening heart. Through his words, you will begin to remember that, above all things, you seek the peace that an awakened heart offers and that you long for the freedom to love as children do. You are welcomed to this journey of awakening that is devoid of masks and pretenses, a journey that offers you the simple key to discovering that which is as close as your own heart."

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An intimate and revealing portrait of civil rights icon and longtime U.S. congressman John Lewis, linking his life to the painful quest for justice in America from the 1950s to the present—from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Soul of America NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND COSMOPOLITAN John Lewis, who at age twenty-five marched in Selma, Alabama, and was beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, was a visionary and a man of faith. Drawing on decades of wide-ranging interviews with Lewis, Jon Meacham writes of how this great-grandson of a slave and son of an Alabama tenant farmer was inspired by the Bible and his teachers in nonviolence, Reverend James Lawson and Martin Luther King, Jr., to put his life on the line in the service of what Abraham Lincoln called “the better angels of our nature.” From an early age, Lewis learned that nonviolence was not only a tactic but a philosophy, a biblical imperative, and a transforming reality. At the age of four, Lewis, ambitious to become a minister, practiced by preaching to his family’s chickens. When his mother cooked one of the chickens, the boy refused to eat it—his first act, he wryly recalled, of nonviolent protest. Integral to Lewis’s commitment to bettering the nation was his faith in humanity and in God—and an unshakable belief in the power of hope. Meacham calls Lewis “as important to the founding of a modern and multiethnic twentieth- and twenty-first-century America as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and Samuel Adams were to the initial creation of the Republic itself in the eighteenth century.” A believer in the injunction that one should love one's neighbor as oneself, Lewis was arguably a saint in our time, risking limb and life to bear witness for the powerless in the face of the powerful. In many ways he brought a still-evolving nation closer to realizing its ideals, and his story offers inspiration and illumination for Americans today who are working for social and political change.
