Showing results for "Movements of Movements" in Ethics & Morality

In Man for Himself, Erich Fromm examines the confusion of modern women and men who, because they lack faith in any principle by which life ought to be guided, become the helpless prey forces both within and without. From the broad, interdisciplinary perspective that marks Fromm's distinguished oeuvre, he shows that psychology cannot divorce itself from the problems of philosophy and ethics, and that human nature cannot be understood without understanding the values and moral conflicts that confront us all.

Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy grapples with these questions and more. Authored by a serving military professional, it breaks down the most advanced concepts of Stoicism into plain language without oversimplifying. Exhaustively researched, steeped in original sources, and informed by examples from the cutting edge of modern conflict, it builds upon ancient thinking to develop innovative theories of patriotic duty and ethical warfighting.

Martin Luther King Jr. may be America's most revered political figure, commemorated in statues, celebrations, and street names around the world. But despite his stature, the significance of King's writings and political thought remains underappreciated.

Ma è anche il Dio che irrompe nella storia con uno sguardo di Amore verso l'Uomo e si fa sorgente di libertà e giustizia.

Lo expuesto por nosotros aquí sobre las relaciones del lenguaje con la música debe también ser aplicado por las mismas razones a las relaciones del mimo con la música. También el mimo, como simbólica reforzada de los grandes gestos del hombre, es, comparado con la significación general de la música, un símbolo cuyo sentido interior se nos revela muy superficialmente, esto es, como sustrato del cuerpo movido por la pasión.
