The Catholic Church has long been featured in headlines regarding sexual abuse. Now, a Catholic priest gives the full inside scoop.

Becoming ordained during the 1960s and the major cultural upheavals of the Vietnam war and the sexual revolution, Copperson’s experience winds from rigorous theological training in Europe to the ongoing, worldwide changes wrought by the Second Vatican Council.

Friedrich Nietzsche'nin kaleme aldığı "Deccal", Batı felsefesinde derin izler bırakmış cesur ve provokatif bir eserdir. Nietzsche'nin sivri dili ve keskin zekâsıyla Hristiyanlık ve Batı ahlakını temelinden sarsan bu kitap, yazarın "Tanrı öldü" tezini daha da ileriye taşır.

Eckhart Tolle rappresenta la sintesi perfetta fra millenni di saggezza e il sentire contemporaneo: con una chiarezza e un'efficacia straordinarie, condensa nelle sue pagine gli insegnamenti dei grandi della storia del pensiero, da Buddha a Gesù, ma anche Shakespeare e, perché no, i Rolling Stones. Il suo messaggio è tanto semplice quanto capace di rivoluzioni, interiori ed esteriori. Basta spegnere il rumore di fondo che affolla di pensieri la nostra mente, abbracciare il presente scrollandosi di dosso l'ingombro del nostro ego.

Este é o resumo de Vita contemplativa ou sobre a inatividade. Estamos perdendo nossa capacidade de não fazer nada. Nossa existência é completamente absorvida pela atividade e, portanto, totalmente explorada. Como só percebemos a vida em termos de desempenho, tendemos a interpretar a inatividade como um déficit, uma negação ou uma mera ausência de atividade quando, muito pelo contrário, é uma capacidade independente interessante.

Für Immanuel Kant waren seine Träume und Visionen nichts weiter als Unsinn und Hirngespinste. Balzac dagegen stellte ihn in eine Reihe mit Zarathustra, Buddha und Jesus Christus. Für die Mehrheit seiner Zeit war er ein verschrobenes Original, über dessen Berichte aus der Geisterwelt sich launig spekulieren ließ. Für viele Künstler und Intellektuelle wie August Strindberg, Ralph Waldo Emerson und Jorge Luis Borges dagegen war er eine große Gestalt des 18. Jahrhunderts, dessen umfangreiches naturwissenschaftliches und theosophisches Werk man mit vorbehaltlosem Ernst sich zu erschließen habe.

Through this alternate rendering of the words of Jesus, The Gospel Crux explores how we can find the peace of God that surpasses all understanding in our lives; the truth that will set your “I” free.

Collana: Perle di saggezza. L’incontro con un Maestro è un colpo di fulmine. All’improvviso si avverte una completezza che è, infondo, il senso ultimo anche del comune innamoramento; ovvero la ricerca dell’unità perduta, comegià ipotizzava Platone.Osho offre una narrazione più attuale, spiegando che “l’essere umano nasce consapevole, e in seguitosi addormenta. Nasce integro, e in seguito si fraziona in mille identità. L’uomo nasce in quantoindividuo, ma poi cade addormentato e sogna di essere una folla.Il problema dell’essere umano è tutto qui, ed è qui che si annida la sfida della vita.

Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologian, and religious author interested in human psychology. He is regarded as a leading pioneer of existentialism and one of the greatest philosophers of the 19th Century. In Fear and Trembling, Kierkegaard aimed to understand the anxiety that must have been present in Abraham when God commanded him to offer his son as a human sacrifice. Abraham had a choice to complete the task or to forget it.

For numerous centuries, the Talmud—an extraordinary work of Jewish ethics, law, and tradition—has compelled readers to grapple with how to live a good life.

Amor não pode ser entendido apenas como um sentimento romântico, nem se limita a um ideário intimista, privatizado e egocentrado. O amor é exigente, nos leva a esvaziarmos a nós mesmos e por isso nos coloca em situação de vulnerabilidade. Amor não é neutralidade. É estar junto, é aprender a convivência, é empatia e escolha. Sobre o amor aborda as diferentes formas de viver e entender o amor e nos faz questionar nossas relações humanas.
