“I clothed you in purple”: The Rabbinic king-parables of the third-century Roman Empire - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Abstract"I Clothed You in Purple"The Rabbinic King-Parables of the Third-Century Roman EmpireAlan AppelbaumMay 2007This is an analysis of comparisons the Rabbis made with kings, limited toRoman Palestine and to the ninety-year period beginning with the accession ofthe Emperor Septimius Severus in 193 C.E. and ending with the accession ofDiocletian. Based primarily on the original rabbinic texts, it also draws ontraditional Greek and Latin sources of imperial history and brings contemporarytheory to bear.A major part of the study re-examines current scholarly views aboutking-parables and finds them wanting - including the still prevalentpresupposition that "the king" is usually modeled on the emperor; the idea,recently renewed by Daniel Boyarin, that the Rabbis told the parables to makeTorah accessible to non-Rabbis; and, most important, the idea, championed byDavid Stern, that "the king," no matter what earthly ruler he is modeled on, isa stand-in for God. The study also supplements the ongoing work on king-parables being done by Clemens Thoma and his colleagues in Switzerland.As the study attends to the king-parables' form, structure, functions,settings and characters, it emphasizes the Rabbis' distinctive ideas about therelationship of humanity to God.Since the parables were produced by an intellectual elite in a countryoccupied by a world-empire, the study considers them as resistance literatureand explores what contemporary post-colonial theory and James C. Scott'swork concerning "hidden transcripts" may have to say about them.And since scholars of Roman history traditionally bemoan the paucity ofsources for the period, it poses the hypothesis that making comparisons to"kings" modeled on emperors or their representatives involves at least thinkingone knows something about them. The Rabbis' accounts of such "kings" notonly shed light on the attitudes of a group of literate citizens in a particulareastern province toward living, breathing emperors but also provideinformation about third-century imperial history, sometimes confirminggenerally accepted readings of traditional sources, sometimes supportingsources that have been regarded as questionable, and sometimes helping toresolve open issue

If You're Reading This, It's Too Late - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: he torch pierced the darknessThe torch slashed through the darknessThe torch beam sliced through the darkness like a swordThe torch beam darted – yes! – across the dark hall,illuminating a wondrous collection of antique curiosities.Finely illustrated tarot cards of wizened kings andlaughing fools . . . glistening Chinese lacquer boxes concealingspring traps and secret compartments . . . intricately carvedcups of wood and ivory designed for making coins andmarbles and even fingers disappear . . . shining silver ringsthat a knowing hand could link and unlink as if they weremade of air . . .A museum of magic.The circle of light lingered on a luminous crystal ball, asif waiting for some swirling image to appear on the surface.Then it hesitated on a large bronze lantern – once home,perhaps, to a powerful genie.Finally, the torch beam found its way to a glass displaycase sitting alone on top of a black pedestal in the middle ofthe room.‘Ha! At last!’ said a woman with a voice like ice.The man behind the torch snickered. ‘Who was it thatsaid the best place to hide something was in plain sight?What an idiot.’ His accent was odd, ominous.‘Just do it!’ hissed the woman.prologueGrasping the heavy torch tight in his gloved hand,the man brought it down like an axe. Glass shattered in acascade, exposing a milky-white orb – a giant pearl? – sittingon a bed of black velvet.Ignoring the sharp, glittering shards, the womanreached with a delicately thin hand – in a delicately thinwhite glove – and pulled out the orb.About the size of an ostrich egg, it was translucentand seemed almost to glow from within. The surface had ahoneycomb sort of texture comprised of many holes of varyingsizes. A thin band of silver circled the orb, dividing it into twoequal hemispheres.The woman pushed aside her white-blonde hair andheld the mysterious object to her perfectly shaped ear. As sheturned it over, it whispered like an open bottle in the wind.‘I can almost hear him,’ she gloated. ‘That horridmonster!’‘You’re so sure he’s alive? It’s been four, five hundredyears . . .’‘A creature like that – so impossible to make – is all themore impossible to kill,’ she replied, still listening to the ballin her hand.A small red bloodstain now marked her white glovewhere one of the glass shards had cut through; she didn’tseem to notice. ‘But now he can escape us no longer.

You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise. You believe you are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is, but journalist David McRaney is here to tell you that you're as deluded as the rest of us. But that's OK- delusions keep us sane. You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of self-delusion. It's like a psychology class, with all the boring parts taken out, and with no homework.Based on the popular blog of the same name, You Are Not So Smart collects more than 46 of the lies we tell ourselves everyday, including: Dunbar's Number - Humans evolved to live in bands of roughly 150 individuals, the brain cannot handle more than that number. If you have more than 150 Facebook friends, they are surely not all real friends. Hindsight bias - When we learn something new, we reassure ourselves that we knew it all along. Confirmation bias - Our brains resist new ideas, instead paying attention only to findings that reinforce our preconceived notions. Brand loyalty - We reach for the same brand not because we trust its quality but because we want to reassure ourselves that we made a smart choice the last time we bought it. Packed with interesting sidebars and quick guides on cognition and common fallacies, You Are Not So Smart is a fascinating synthesis of cutting-edge psychology research to turn our minds inside out.

I Am You: The Metaphysical Foundations for Global Ethics - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Borders enclose and separate us. We assign to them tremendous significance. Along them we draw supposedly uncrossable boundaries within which we believe our individual identities begin and end, erecting the metaphysical dividing walls that enclose each one of us into numerically identical, numerically distinct, entities: persons. Do the borders between us—physical, psychological, neurological, causal, spatial, temporal, etc.—merit the metaphysical significance ordinarily accorded them? The central thesis of I Am You is that our borders do not signify boundaries between persons. We are all the same person. Variations on this heretical theme have been voiced periodically throughout the ages (the Upanishads, Averroës, Giordano Bruno, Josiah Royce, Schrödinger, Fred Hoyle, Freeman Dyson). In presenting his arguments, the author relies on detailed analyses of recent formal work on personal identity, especially that of Derek Parfit, Sydney Shoemaker, Robert Nozick, David Wiggins, Daniel C. Dennett and Thomas Nagel, while incorporating the views of Descartes, Leibniz, Wittgenstein, Schopenhauer, Kant, Husserl and Brouwer. His development of the implied moral theory is inspired by, and draws on, Rawls, Sidgwick, Kant and again Parfit. The traditional, commonsense view that we are each a separate person numerically identical to ourselves over time, i.e., that personal identity is closed under known individuating and identifying borders—what the author calls Closed Individualism—is shown to be incoherent. The demonstration that personal identity is not closed but open points collectively in one of two new directions: either there are no continuously existing, self-identical persons over time in the sense ordinarily understood—the sort of view developed by philosophers as diverse as Buddha, Hume and most recently Derek Parfit, what the author calls Empty Individualism—or else you are everyone, i.e., personal identity is not closed under known individuating and identifying borders, what the author calls Open Individualism. In making his case, the author:

What God Can Do for You Now: For Seekers Who Want to Believe - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: It is easy to believe God has abandoned us. In atrocities from Hitler's Germany to today's Darfur, the meek and the poor are left to fend for themselves. In the United States, we are menaced by violent terrorists who claim to act in God's name. Our own neighbors threaten us with an absolute choice between faith and a fiery path to hell. Robert Levine steps into the fray with What God Can Do For You Now. A leading American clergyman, he asks us to commit to a relationship with a loving God. We can create a trusting partnership with the Almighty, give time to prayer, and strive to repair the world. In a time when genocide and terrorism wreak their terrible toll, he convinces us that the potential for tragedy exists alongside the potential for miracles, every day and every where. When we rekindle our faith in God, we rekindle our belief in our own goodness, and start the change we need to repair ourselves and the world. Praise for What God Can Do For You Now "Rabbi Robert Levine understands that there are lots of reasons 'to harbor supreme doubts' about God - he's honest enough to admit to the struggles he's had. Jews and Christians will encounter the joy of this scholarly and down-to-earth Rabbi. As we act godly and find God, miracles happen again." - The Very Reverend Dr. James A. Kowalski, Dean, The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine "Perhaps there is no more painful question than, 'How could God let this happen to me?' Rabbi Robert Levine presents us with critical tools in facing this mystery of life. He brings meaning to a life that oft en appears meaningless." - Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, New York Board of Rabbis "This book helps one reconnect if hope and faith is ever lost in our God, spiritually and naturally. Rabbi Levine shares his connection and faith in our God. All things are possible if you only believe." - Rev. Dr. Renee F. Washington Gardner, Senior Pastor of Memorial Pastor Church in Harlem "Rabbi Robert Levine allows the longings for a connection to God of those whom he has served to be heard and he does not hesitate to reveal his own struggles. This book is a precious and ultimately comforting contribution to all who engage in the eternal and perplexing quest for nearness to God." - Rabbi David Ellenson, President, Hebrew Union College, Jewish Institute of Religion "An important book for people of all faiths who look for the reality of God in their lives. It comes at a critical time in interfaith dialogue. Rabbi Robert Levine is a major religious leader in New York City who has been an advocate for the poor, social justice, and civil rights. His faith and compassion shows." - The Ven. Michael S.
