How do we really get on in this world? Tossed around by gain, buffeted by loss, borne aloft by praise, cast down by blame, how can we not be ground under, lose all direction, confidence, and sense of purpose? The Buddha had clear guidance on how to rise above these 'worldly winds', and Vajragupta here opens up for us the Buddha's compassionate yet uncompromising teaching. Using reflections, exercises and suggestions for daily practice, this book can help you find greater equanimity and perspective in the ups and downs of everyday life.

Slips of the tongue, unwitting favoritism, and stereotyped assumptions are just some examples of microaggression. Nearly all of us commit microaggressions at some point, even if we don’t intend to. Yet over time a pattern of microaggression can cause considerable harm by reminding members of marginalized groups of their precarious position. The Ethics of Microaggression is a much needed and clearly written exploration of this pervasive yet complex problem. What is microaggression and how do we know when it is occurring? Can we be held responsible for microaggressions and if so, how? How has social media affected the problem? What role can philosophy play in understanding microaggression? Regina Rini explores these highly topical and controversial questions in an engaging and fair-minded way, arguing that an event is a microaggression precisely because it causes a marginalized person to experience an ambiguous encounter with oppression. She illustrates her argument with compelling examples from media, politics, and psychology and explains the significance of essential concepts, such as media representation, reparative renaming, and safe spaces. The Ethics of Microaggression explains what microaggression is and offers strategies for combating it. Assuming no prior knowledge of the topic or philosophy, it demystifies a controversial and extremely important topic in clear language. It is ideal for anyone coming to the topic for the first time and for students in philosophy, gender studies, race theory, disability theory, and social and political philosophy.

This book presents an extended argument for the thesis that people of the present day are not debarred in principle from passing moral judgement on people who lived in former days, notwithstanding the inevitable differences in social and cultural circumstances that separate us. Some philosophers argue that because we can see things only from our own peculiar historical situation, we lack a sufficiently objective vantage point from which to appraise past people and their acts. If they are correct, then the judgements passed by twenty-first-century people must inevitably be biased and irrelevant, grounded on moral standards that would have seemed alien in that 'foreign country' of the past. This book challenges this relativistic position, contending that it seriously underestimates our ability to engage imaginatively with people who, however much their lifestyles may have differed from our own, were our fellow human beings, endowed with the same basic instincts, aversions, desires and aspirations. Taking a stand on a naturalistic theory of human beings, coupled with a Kantian conception of the equal worth of all human members of the Kingdom of Ends, Scarre argues that historical moral judgements can be sensitive to circumstances, fitting and fair, and untainted by anachronism. The discussion ends by examining the implications of this position for the practice of historians and for the ethics of memory and commemoration.

Samuel Alozie Onyeche's 'Ijikrika; Canticles from Africa' is aged: like a Sage's counsels on life's mine-infested tuft. Thoughtful for our joys, Onyeche, like a Goldsmith, carefully and jealously laced his work with solar plexus-caressing mores and proverbs: Atones the silence of the duck fowl, teaching a great lesson to both the thievery eagle and chest-beating, effusive man. Chief Anthony Ndubuisi Abagha, Author of, 'The Children of Oloibiri' and twenty five other creative works in all genres, Nigeria. Samuel Alozie Onyeche is an English poet from Nigeria. The quality of his poetry is rarely found in contemporary poetry. You can simply call him an extraordinary poet. are As soon as the first page of his poetry is turned, the sweet fragrance of Africa begins to spread everywhere. Far-reaching primeval forests, eternal rains, million-year-old cave dwellings, colorful wildlife, sky-high mountains, earth-age lakes, ancient civilizations, breath-taking hunger and street-to-street violence. Dr. Jawaz Jafri: Winner of Human Rights National Ward And Frang Bordhi Prize.Professor of Literature at the College of Science Lahore (Pakistan) At first glance, I see Samual Alozie Onyeche to be very eloquent and well versed within the modern English Language. His variety in both complex and basic wording , accompanied with the importance of punctuation has and shall stand him in good stead. Stuart Dann.Poet. United Kingdom.

The worries about the spaces of nothingness and a glorious rainbow light in the forest are the beginning of Sven's journey, which leads him to discover a country so brand-new that it cannot be found on the old dusty world map at school. But with awakened curiosity and heartfelt courage, he has no doubt at all: A country with such an incredible beautiful flag where the colors are creating enchanting music must be worth fighting for – even though no one knows the name of the country yet - and not everyone can hear the symphonies of the colors.

Shedding fresh light on the life and work of William Butler Yeats—widely acclaimed as the major English-language poet of the twentieth century—this new study by leading scholar Patrick J. Keane questions established understandings of the Irish poet’s long fascination with the occult: a fixation that repelled literary contemporaries T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, but which enhanced Yeats’s vision of life and death. Through close reading of selected poems, the first section of Making the Void Fruitful assesses Yeats’s spiritualised treatment of corporeal themes, exploring sex and eroticism as the expression of a duality inherent to his ontological and supernatural convictions. The power-producing tension in Yeats’s work is not only intellectual but emotional. At its vital centre is his Muse: the beautiful political firebrand, Maud Gonne, whose activist Republican politics he considered his one real rival. Through close engagement with the poems and plays she inspired, the second section explores Yeats’s complex relationship with Maud, an obsessive and unrequited love which he sublimated and transformed into the greatest body of Muse poetry since Petrarch, in whose tradition of spiritualized eroticism Yeats, perhaps the last of the great Romantics, was consciously writing. Shaped by the conviction that no modern poet exceeded Yeats in animating the enduring themes of love and spirituality through poetry, this book emphasises the influence, of Blake, Nietzsche, and John Donne, on what Yeats called ‘the thinking of the body’. Grounded firmly in the textual materiality of Yeats’s oeuvre, this book will be of interest to researchers and students of W.B. Yeats, as well as to those in the fields of Anglophone literatures and cultures, and philosophy.
