Book Description
A Handbook for Creating Functional Human Culture!!!... How do you explain to a fish that's swum in the same water its whole life; realizes something just doesn't seem quite right, but doesn't know what it is or why, that the water itself is polluted and poisoning her? How can a desire be created in that fish to do what it really needs to do in order to scratch this ineffable itch -- which is not to find more fish to hunt, bigger fins, a nicer cave to sleep in, or make more offspring -- but in fact is to remove itself from this water and get into clean water, because the actual context it lives in IS the primary source of its dis-ease? Just like this fish, we've been "swimming" in cultures and families for generations that make it impossible to enjoy True Human Freedom. We've been conditioned to be content with "false human freedom" and not live our full potential as individuals, families, or communities. With all my heart, I ask you to explore the vision and teaching in my book True Human Freedom: The Inspiration and Argument for GaiaYoga Culture. I believe it points to the "something" that many of us have been yearning for, but haven't had the support or clarity to recognize and then take action towards. True Human Freedom is possible, but to pursue it we must leave this "polluted water" (internally and externally), and also change the way we swim, and perhaps who we swim with. It is possible! Let me explain... True Human Freedom isn't another cliché spiritual or utopian manifesto. It's a radical, holistic meditation on our total human condition... How does our culture impact our lives and consciousness? Can we develop keen discrimination about the mutitude of diverse cultural experiments that have arisen on our planet? Based on this clarity, can we design and co-create a new culture that is grounded in our real and natural limits, yet supports the full expression of our humanity? Can we realize our amazing potential, sustainably, together, in reality? We can! GaiaYoga is a holistic cultural vision, life-practice, and consciousness, that lets us re-create our lives so they are sane, sustainable, and in harmony with Spirit, self, community, and Earth. More than an individual's practice, GaiaYoga includes living in social structures that reflect our true human nature. It's an antidote for the predominant (in)human culture based on unchecked capitalism, fantasy, dysfunctional family-systems, absence of integrity, emotional illiteracy, fear and oppression ofnature, chemical dependence, and broken relationships."After reading True Human Freedom, I feel awakened. I've been given the gift of awareness... awareness of what I've blindly accepted as true, unquestionable, and universal. I've also been given the gift of inspiration... a new, beautiful, hopeful vision of what our future can look like. Ano's arguments connect with me on a deep and authentic level -- no surprise, because they are based on an unapologetic, real, holistic view of our instincts, desires, genetic makeup, spirituality, and primal social needs as human beings." -- Julia Sokolyansky, Dancer/Choreographer and Graduate of Landmark Curriculum for Living, NYC

Book Description
Spinoza was one of the most influential figures of the Enlightenment, but his often obscure metaphysics makes it difficult to understand the ultimate message of his philosophy. Although he regarded freedom as the fundamental goal of his ethics and politics, his theory of freedom has not received sustained, comprehensive treatment. Spinoza holds that we attain freedom by governing ourselves according to practical principles, which express many of our deepest moral commitments. Matthew J. Kisner focuses on this theory and presents an alternative picture of the ethical project driving Spinoza's philosophical system. His study of the neglected practical philosophy provides an accessible and concrete picture of what it means to live as Spinoza's ethics envisioned.

Book Description
True Freedom On Protecting Human Dignity and Religious Liberty Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York Are American liberties on the endangered species list? In this eBook original, the Archbishop of New York and president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issues a plea for all citizens to reject the cynicism of the day and foster a culture in which religious freedom and all human life are infinitely valued. Religion and the dignity of human life are under attack by a variety of threats in the modern world including abortion, infanticide, eugenics, misuse of artificial reproductive technologies, an unjust distribution of economic resources, war, the arms trade, drugs, and human trafficking. What can be done to stop this? Cardinal Timothy Dolan explains the need for all Americans to embrace a new culture rooted in what Blessed John Paul II called the Gospel of Life where the sacredness of all human life, and the freedoms that are their birthright, are upheld, respected and protected by law.

Book Description
The Essence of Truth must count as one of Heidegger's most important works, for nowhere else does he give a comparably thorough explanation of what is arguably the most fundamental and abiding theme of his entire philosophy, namely the difference between truth as the "unhiddenness of beings" and truth as the "correctness of propositions". For Heidegger, it is by neglecting the former primordial concept of truth in favor of the latter derivative concept that Western philosophy, beginning already with Plato, took off on its "metaphysical" course towards the bankruptcy of the present day. This first ever translation into English consists of a lecture course delivered by Heidegger at the University of Freiburg in 1931-32. Part One of the course provides a detailed analysis of Plato's allegory of the cave in the Republic, while Part Two gives a detailed exegesis and interpretation of a central section of Plato's Theaetetus, and is essential for the full understanding of his later well-known essay Plato's Doctrine of Truth. As always with Heidegger's writings on the Greeks, the point of his interpretative method is to bring to light the original meaning of philosophical concepts, especially to free up these concepts to their intrinsic power.

Book Description
Freedom of speech, religion, choice, will—humans have fought, and continue to fight, for all of these. But what is human freedom really? Taking a broad approach across metaphysics, politics, and ethics, Lars Svendsen explores this question in his engaging book, while also looking at the threats freedom faces today. Though our behaviors, thoughts, and actions are restricted by social and legal rules, deadlines, and burdens, Svendsen argues that the fundamental requirement for living a human life is the ability to be free. A Philosophy of Freedom questions how we can successfully create meaningful lives when we are estranged from the very concept of freedom. Svendsen tackles such issues as the nature of free agency and the possibility of freedom in a universe governed by natural laws. He concludes that the true definition of personal freedom is first and foremost the liberty to devote yourself to what really matters to you—to realize the true value of the life you are living. Drawing on the fascinating debates around the possibility of freedom and its limits within society, this comprehensive investigation provides an accessible and insightful overview that will appeal to academics and general readers alike.

Book Description
This Element considers the relationship between the traditional view of God as all-powerful, all-knowing and wholly good on the one hand, and the idea of human free will on the other. It focuses on the potential threats to human free will arising from two divine attributes: God's exhaustive foreknowledge and God's providential control of creation.

Book Description
In an impassioned defence of the importance of our own thoughts, feelings and experiences, the renowned philosopher Mary Midgley shows that there’s much more to our selves than a jumble of brain cells. Exploring the remarkable gap that has opened up between our understanding of our sense of self and today’s science, Midgley argues powerfully and persuasively that the rich variety of our imaginative life cannot be contained in the narrow bounds of a highly puritanical materialism that simply equates brain and self. Engaging with the work of prominent thinkers, Midgley investigates the source of our current attitudes to the self and reveals how ideas, traditions and myths have been twisted to fit in, seemingly naturally, with science’s current preoccupation with the physical and material. Midgley shows that the subjective sources of thought – our own experiences – are every bit as necessary in helping to explain the world as the objective ones such as brain cells. Are You an Illusion? offers a salutary analysis of science’s claim to have done away with the self and a characteristic injection of common sense from one of our most respected philosophers into a debate increasingly in need of it. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Stephen Cave.
