The Ethics Of Suicide written by M. Pabst Battin and has been published by Oxford University Press, USA this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015 with Philosophy categories.
Is suicide wrong, profoundly morally wrong? Almost always wrong, but excusable in a few cases? Sometimes morally permissible? Imprudent, but not wrong? Is it sick, a matter of mental illness? Is it a private matter or a largely social one? Could it sometimes be right, or a "noble duty," or even a fundamental human right? Whether it is called "suicide" or not, what role may a person play in the end of his or her own life? This collection of primary sources--the principal texts of ethical interest from major writers in western and nonwestern cultures, from the principal religious traditions, and from oral cultures where observer reports of traditional practices are available, spanning Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania, the Arctic, and North and South America--facilitates exploration of many controversial practical issues: physician-assisted suicide or aid-in-dying; suicide in social or political protest; self-sacrifice and martyrdom; suicides of honor or loyalty; religious and ritual practices that lead to death, including sati or widow-burning, hara-kiri, and sallekhana, or fasting unto death; and suicide bombings, kamikaze missions, jihad, and other tactical and military suicides. This collection has no interest in taking sides in controversies about the ethics of suicide; rather, rather, it serves to expand the character of these debates, by showing them to be multi-dimensional, a complex and vital part of human ethical thought.

A beautifully translated collection sampling all the major genres of ancient Egyptian literature. Poetry, stories, hymns, prayers, and wisdom texts found exquisite written expression in ancient Egypt while their literary counterparts were still being recited around hearth fires in ancient Greece and Israel. Yet, because of its very antiquity and the centuries during which the language was forgotten, ancient Egyptian literature is a newly discovered country for modern readers. This anthology offers an extensive sampling of all the major genres of ancient Egyptian literature. It includes all the texts from John Foster’s previous book Echoes of Egyptian Voices, along with selections from his Love Songs of the New Kingdom and Hymns, Prayers, and Songs: An Anthology of Ancient Egyptian Lyric Poetry, as well as previously unpublished translations of four longer and two short poems. Foster’s translations capture the poetical beauty of the Egyptian language and the spirit that impelled each piece’s composition, making these ancient masterworks sing for modern readers. An introduction to ancient Egyptian literature and its translation, as well as brief information about the authorship and date of each selection, completes the volume. “This exceptional sampling of one of the world’s most ancient literatures offers more than 40 hymns, stories, prayers, and songs revolving around religion, the Pharaohs, life, death, love, and more. . . . . Highly recommended for all literary collections, this is also of interest to comprehensive collections of Egyptology, Near Eastern history, world literature in translation, and religion.” —Library Journal “Older than the Buddha and the Bhagavad Gita, these poems constitute a truly ancient literature, and Foster’s rich and textured translations make genuine love poems and exhortations to the gods out of what, to most of us, are just pictures.” —Booklist

This book empowers the reader to awaken his inner power by providing psychological and metaphysical tools for improving their life. Humans should undertake the power dwelling in them and become active co-creators of their personal and social environment. The book is a necessary component in a materialistic post-modern consumeristic society. It focuses on removing the self-loathing ideas imposed by religious organizations and mass media. Moreover, it offers a plausible and coherent theory that answers the old-honored predicament of finding the true purpose of human existence. Blending ideas from philosophers with the popular wisdom of native folklore, Occidental and Oriental sacred scriptures, sociology, metaphysics, philosophy (existentialism), and modern quantum physics, this book reveals that humans should actively participate in the awakening of their consciousness. Having no purpose in life can lead people to a deep psychological depression called existential anxiety. Thus, ignoring the role of man’s importance in the drama of the universe, the lack of a myth or meaning could be tragic and detrimental. Since the dawn of civilization, humans have taken for granted or assumed that they had an inherent purpose in life by being born, which turned out to be a big fallacy. In addition, humans have been brainwashed and domesticated by false ideas creating a herd mentality by the ruling elite. Under these circumstances, how do we humans find authentic meaning in what seems to be a senseless life? Modern philosophy has become increasingly abstract and separate from human beings, unable to offer positive guidance to ordinary people. Finding a purpose in human existence is the primary motivational force for human existence. The ultimate purpose of human existence is to become a conscious god.
