「我們應該成為怎樣的人？」「我們應該怎麼活？」這個問題有答案嗎？生命的意義有答案嗎？人類很矛盾，很多老師都說：老師不是聖人，沒有人可以決定別人的人生。但也有老師說：生命本來就有意義，人本來就應該思考。「我們應該成為有思考能力的人。」這件事被說成是「本來」，這是錯誤的，人們無法證明，所以說這是「本來」。本書將證明：「我們應該成為有思考能力的人。」本書將證明：「人類有應該走向的未來。」本書有一個歷史回顧，以前人們害怕思考。本書的內容就是這三個題目：「我們應該成為怎樣的人？生命的意義與教育的目的。」「民主最大的敵人是什麼？生命的意義與威權時代。」「人類應該走向怎樣的未來？生命的意義與文明的方向。」Is there an answer to the question: “What kind of people should we be?” “How should we live ?”Is there an answer to the meaning of life?This is a contradiction, many teachers say: teachers are not saints, no one can decide other people's lives.And some teachers say: Life “originally” has meaning.“We should become human beings with the ability to think.”This thing is said to be “original”, which is wrong, people can't prove it, so it is said to be “original”.This book will prove: “We should become human beings with the ability to think.”This book will prove: “There is a future that humanity should go to.”This book has a historical review, in the past, people were afraid to think.The contents o
A very funny and philosophical illustrated chapter book by a bestselling author/illustrator pair about courage, true friendship and our most secret wishes, in which a lame duck takes a blind hen on a goose chase as they search for adventure and answers to some big questions.A duck spends her days limping around her backyard with the help of a crutch until one day a blind hen stumbles in, lost, and persuades the duck to embark on an adventurous journey. The duck will guide the hen; the hen will steady the duck’s wobbly leg. They leave together for a place where their most secret wishes will come true. The pair come upon astonishing obstacles along the way—a wild forest, a cavernous gorge and many differences of opinion. The hen starts to wish she’d taken a guide dog rather than a duck! When the two finally arrive at their destination after all the hardships, they realize that their own backyard plus a little imagination offers as much adventure as a whole world.From the author/illustrat

Marc Spector and Venom engage in a battle of wills in the next adventure of an epic multiversal series reimagining iconic Marvel origin stories.So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating infinite realities. Long have I watched Marc Spector cheat death in the name of the Egyptian god Khonshu. But . . . what if Moon Knight was subsumed by a Venom from another universe?Marc Spector is used to voices in his head. He’s used to waking up disoriented, unsure what his alters, Jake and Steven, might have been up to. He’s used to having an Egyptian god command him as Moon Knight, his avatar of justice and revenge. What he’s not used to: staring into the face of a literal out-of-body doppelgänger. Another Marc crash-landed from an alternate reality, begging for help? Yeah, that is a new one, even for him.But before he can really process anything beyond Khonshu’s incessant alarm bells, it becomes clear this other Marc didn’t travel solo. Some kind of alien—a symbiote named Ve
The Rule of the Association (1QS; Serek ha-Yahad) is the primary description of the sectarian community described in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was one of the first Scrolls published, in 1951. Several related fragmentary scrolls subsequently came to light. This book provides text, translation, and commentary on all these manuscripts, with a substantial introduction that locates the Rule in the context of the sectarian movement. Distinctive features of this commentary include: presentation of the Hebrew text; treatment of the related manuscripts as texts in their own right, not just as stages in the development of 1QS; recognition that this was a rule for a movement with many settlements and not just for the community that lived at Qumran; recognition of graded levels of holiness within 1QS; recognition of conceptual differences between 1QS and some of the related fragments with regard to the nature and goals of the association; discussion of the broader cultural context of voluntary asso

This study offers a theological analysis of, and response to, the modern world, and is at once a theology of culture and of creation. In the first half of the book, Gunton expounds some of the distinctive and often contradictory features of modern culture. It emerges that modern culture, far from being unique in its difficulties, reflects similar inadequacies in ancient thought. The distinctive pathos of modernity is to be found in one unique feature, namely the displacement of God that is a mark of all realms of life. The roots of the problem are sought beyond the Enlightenment, where they are often located, in the combination of platonism and Christian theology which dominated medieval Christian thought. At the heart of the matter is a deficient - because of an inadequately trinitarian - understanding of creation and creation's God. The second half of the book develops a powerful theology of creation where due weight can be given to both universal and particular, both society and the

Here's a one-of-kind, kid's-eye view of the curious ways people behave in groups. In a field outside the city, some children are playing a game. They chase a kicked ball, then throw themselves on it in a laughing heap. But then the adults arrive. Lots of adults. They want to join the “people pile.” Soon, the pile has become so big, some people are uncomfortable. They have questions. Lots of questions. Like, should they be in two piles, or one? Meanwhile, the children wonder, what are all these adults doing? Can't we just get back to our game? There's a pile of big ideas for kids to ponder in this quirky, intriguing story!A quirky story with a kid's-eye view of the curious ways people behave in groups.In a field outside the city, a group of children are playing a simple game.

Cary Grant famously said, Everyone wants to be Cary Grant--even I want to be Cary Grant. His development of the movie-star image required serious work, but he also played a variety of characters that demanded many different performing talents. He was equally skilled in screwball farces suchas The Awful Truth, dark suspense films like Notorious, romantic love stories such as An Affair to Remember, domestic comedies similar to Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, and social dramas including None but the Lonely Heart. Some Versions of Cary Grant is focused on the art of one of the mostadmired actors in Hollywood history. In a lively style accompanied by many illustrations, author James Naremore analyses Grant's performances in a gallery of his best films, demonstrating exceptional skill and a greater range than that with which he is usually credited. Discussing his most famous and forgotten films alike, Naremore's book shows how Grant adjusted his technique to the different styles and wo
