Book Description
Volume 2 is a continuation from Hindsight Volume 1. This volume will build off the foundation set in volume 1, thus furthering the challenge and perspective already set forth. This is a journey that will dive deeper into core values and enhanced perception. Your experiences matter and so does how you interact with people in life. In a time where life is changing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are all forced to adjust whether we like it or not. Social distancing has challenged us. Economic instability threatens peace of mind. Face masks, plexiglass and people counting how many shoppers enter a building makes us feel like aliens in our own communities. This book is a great tool to help you remember to be human. Social interaction may have been taken for granted for several generations. While we have technology to aid us during these trying times, it is still no substitute for those that are considered “essential personnel”. In the chapter about Duty, know that my words apply to you as well. Any and all medical personnel, any and all first responders, food and agriculture workers, energy personnel (electric, petroleum, and gas), water staff (clean and waste), logistic personnel (including all transportation), all public works, anyone affiliated with communications, members of government (on all applicable levels), critical manufacturing, hazardous material workers, chemical personnel, financial services, defense personnel, commercial and professional services and anyone who brings our mail to us, thank you. If you are contributing to someone’s sanity or even maintaining your own by staying productive, I thank you as well. It’s not really a description about the book, but it is certainly a piece of what you can extract from it by honoring those that fulfill their duty in society. Read more to find out.

Hindsight
Author: Mark FreemanPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199741654
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Although the idea of hindsight is frequently associated with the biases, distortions, and outright lies of memory--as in the infamous "20-20" scenario or the conviction that one "knew it all along"--Mark Freeman maintains that this process of looking backward over the terrain of the past can also serve as a profound source of insight, understanding, and self-knowledge. Consider Tolstoy's harrowing tale of Ivan Ilych, revisiting his past on the eve of his death, only to realize that the life he had been living was a lie. Consider as well the many times in our own lives when, upon reviewing the past, we are able to see what we could not, or would not, see earlier on. Hindsight is also intimately connected to what Freeman calls narrative reflection: Through the distance conferred by time, we can look back on past experiences and see them anew, as episodes in an evolving story. As important as "being in the now" and "living in the moment" are, it is no less important to pause at times and, by looking backward, seek to discern those aspects of experience that might otherwise escape our notice. Far from necessarily leading to deception and lies, therefore, hindsight can lead to wisdom and indeed truth--of a sort, Freeman contends, that is only available in retrospect. In addition to serving as a central site of self-knowledge, hindsight plays an integral role in the process of moral growth. For, through hindsight, there emerges the opportunity not only to see the possible errors of our ways but to transcend them and thereby to move on to better ways of being in the world. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, literature, and personal experience, this wide-ranging volume offers an insightful and engaging exploration of the role of hindsight both in discerning the personal past and in deepening moral life.
Experience and History
Author: David CarrPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199377669
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
David Carr outlines a distinctively phenomenological approach to history. Rather than asking what history is or how we know history, a phenomenology of history inquires into history as a phenomenon and into the experience of the historical. How does history present itself to us, how does it enter our lives, and what are the forms of experience in which it does so? History is usually associated with social existence and its past, and so Carr probes the experience of the social world and of its temporality. Experience in this context connotes not just observation but also involvement and interaction: We experience history not just in the social world around us but also in our own engagement with it. For several decades, philosophers' reflections on history have been dominated by two themes: representation and memory. Each is conceived as a relation to the past: representation can be of the past, and memory is by its nature of the past. On both of these accounts, history is separated by a gap from what it seeks to find or wants to know, and its activity is seen by philosophers as that of bridging this gap. This constitutes the problem to which the philosophy of history addresses itself: how does history bridge the gap which separates it from its object, the past? It is against this background that a phenomenological approach, based on the concept of experience, can be proposed as a means of solving this problem-or at least addressing it in a way that takes us beyond the notion of a gap between present and past.
To Do and to Endure

Book Description
"In her portrayal of the life of Sister Catherine Donnelly, founder of the Sisters of Service, author Jeanne Beck has succeeded in weaving a tapestry rich in texture, broad in scope and deeply revealing of the character of a memorable Canadian woman."-Brian F. Hogan, C.S.B. When teacher Catherine Donnelly first arrived in Western Canada from Ontario in 1918, she discovered two things: first, the need for a Catholic presence in the rural public schools of the west, and second, her own calling to be a religious. Catherine saw that the west was growing rapidly, and that there was a lack of religious guidance for the people of the region, particularly the immigrants coming from other countries. She looked to existing Catholic orders as a means of reaching these people, but found that none of the orders were willing to accept Catherine’s radical ideas, such as her refusal to wear the traditional nun’s habit, and her strong belief in the individuality of members of orders. Catherine founded the Sisters of Service in 1922, and through this new order was able to make an impact on the lives of townspeople and students in prairie schools of the west. In this biography, Jeanne Beck reconstructs the extraordinary life of Sister Catherine Donnelly. The well-researched account is at once informative and inspiring a fitting tribute to the woman who believed "the spiritual life and the intellectual life have the same root deep in the unity of the intelligence."
