Finding an Ending by Philip Kitcher,Richard Schacht Pdf

Few musical works loom as large in Western culture as Richard Wagner's four-part Ring of the Nibelung. In Finding an Ending, two eminent philosophers, Philip Kitcher and Richard Schacht, offer an illuminating look at this greatest of Wagner's achievements, focusing on its far-reaching and subtle exploration of problems of meanings and endings in this life and world. Kitcher and Schacht plunge the reader into the heart of Wagner's Ring, drawing out the philosophical and human significance of the text and the music. They show how different forms of love, freedom, heroism, authority, and judgment are explored and tested as it unfolds. As they journey across its sweeping musical-dramatic landscape, Kitcher and Schacht lead us to the central concern of the Ring--the problem of endowing life with genuine significance that can be enhanced rather than negated by its ending, if the right sort of ending can be found. The drama originates in Wotan's quest for a transformation of the primordial state of things into a world in which life can be lived more meaningfully. The authors trace the evolution of Wotan's efforts, the intricate problems he confronts, and his failures and defeats. But while the problem Wotan poses for himself proves to be insoluble as he conceives of it, they suggest that his very efforts and failures set the stage for the transformation of his problem, and for the only sort of resolution of it that may be humanly possible--to which it is not Siegfried but rather Brünnhilde who shows the way. The Ring's ending, with its passing of the gods above and destruction of the world below, might seem to be devastating; but Kitcher and Schacht see a kind of meaning in and through the ending revealed to us that is profoundly affirmative, and that has perhaps never been so powerfully and so beautifully expressed.

Finding the End of the World by Ron Braley Pdf

Learn tools and techniques you can use in any Biblical study and then explore the History of Israel. Use what you learn to analyze Old Testament prophecies and apocalyptic writings - all in preparation for comparing accounts of what Jesus told His disciples on the Mount of Olives and for analyzing the Revelation given to John. Round out your experience with in-depth studies of end-times players such as the Antichrist and the 144,000 'redeemed from the earth'. Finally, explore in great detail the major rapture positions and challenges presented by each. Ron Braley's book, Finding the End of the World, is a great resource for any serious student of God's Word. However, it will frustrate those who look to it for easy answers to questions surrounding the books of Daniel and Revelation, events of the End Times, and eschatological controversies. Instead, the author gives the reader and student the tools to delve into the Scriptures and discover the answers. Caution: This may lead the reader to question and even jettison some previously held views of the End of Times. While offering historical and theological background materials to consider, I believe the greatest value of this book is the study tools, guides and exercises it offers each student. The result is creating students of the Bible who know how to read and study for themselves. Ron Almberg, Jr. (B.A., Th.B., M.Div.). Ron Braley lives in Texas with Joanne, his wife of 27 years. They have 4 grown children and 2 grandchildren. Passion for spreading the Gospel and helping others to build their faith has led to the development of this comprehensive guide and the creation of Finding Discipleship, Inc.

Saint X by Alexis Schaitkin Pdf

A New York Times Notable Book of 2020 "'Saint X' is hypnotic. Schaitkin's characters...are so intelligent and distinctive it feels not just easy, but necessary, to follow them. I devoured [it] in a day." –Oyinkan Braithwaite, New York Times Book Review When you lose the person who is most essential to you, who do you become? Recommended by Entertainment Weekly, included in Good Morning America's 20 Books We're Excited for in 2020 & named as one of Vogue's Best Books to Read This Winter, Bustle's Most Anticipated Books of February 2020, and O Magazine's 14 of the Best Books to Read This February! Hailed as a “marvel of a book” and “brilliant and unflinching,” Alexis Schaitkin’s stunning debut, Saint X, is a haunting portrait of grief, obsession, and the bond between two sisters never truly given the chance to know one another. Claire is only seven years old when her college-age sister, Alison, disappears on the last night of their family vacation at a resort on the Caribbean island of Saint X. Several days later, Alison’s body is found in a remote spot on a nearby cay, and two local men–employees at the resort–are arrested. But the evidence is slim, the timeline against it, and the men are soon released. The story turns into national tabloid news, a lurid mystery that will go unsolved. For Claire and her parents, there is only the return home to broken lives. Years later, Claire is living and working in New York City when a brief but fateful encounter brings her together with Clive Richardson, one of the men originally suspected of murdering her sister. It is a moment that sets Claire on an obsessive pursuit of the truth–not only to find out what happened the night of Alison’s death but also to answer the elusive question: Who exactly was her sister? At seven, Claire had been barely old enough to know her: a beautiful, changeable, provocative girl of eighteen at a turbulent moment of identity formation. As Claire doggedly shadows Clive, hoping to gain his trust, waiting for the slip that will reveal the truth, an unlikely attachment develops between them, two people whose lives were forever marked by the same tragedy. For readers of Emma Cline’s The Girls and Lauren Groff’s Fates and Furies, Saint X is a flawlessly drawn and deeply moving story that culminates in an emotionally powerful ending.

The End of Ice by Dahr Jamail Pdf

Finalist for the 2020 PEN / E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award Acclaimed on its hardcover publication, a global journey that reminds us "of how magical the planet we're about to lose really is" (Bill McKibben) With a new epilogue by the author After nearly a decade overseas as a war reporter, the acclaimed journalist Dahr Jamail returned to America to renew his passion for mountaineering, only to find that the slopes he had once climbed have been irrevocably changed by climate disruption. In response, Jamail embarks on a journey to the geographical front lines of this crisis—from Alaska to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, via the Amazon rainforest—in order to discover the consequences to nature and to humans of the loss of ice. In The End of Ice, we follow Jamail as he scales Denali, the highest peak in North America, dives in the warm crystal waters of the Pacific only to find ghostly coral reefs, and explores the tundra of St. Paul Island where he meets the last subsistence seal hunters of the Bering Sea and witnesses its melting glaciers. Accompanied by climate scientists and people whose families have fished, farmed, and lived in the areas he visits for centuries, Jamail begins to accept the fact that Earth, most likely, is in a hospice situation. Ironically, this allows him to renew his passion for the planet's wild places, cherishing Earth in a way he has never been able to before. Like no other book, The End of Ice offers a firsthand chronicle—including photographs throughout of Jamail on his journey across the world—of the catastrophic reality of our situation and the incalculable necessity of relishing this vulnerable, fragile planet while we still can.

Once upon a time, a terrified woman ran across a freeway and jumped down the side of a mountain not wearing any shoes, because the monster driving the car she was in was more frightening than the prospect of freezing to death. Wolves of Wet Waterfalls is the complete trilogy collection including the why choose/ poly romance novellas: Stealing Joy, Finding Home, and Ending Torment. Sometimes the scariest demons disguise themselves as someone you love. I learned that the hard way. I got out with my life, barely.

Monsters are real, doughnuts are magic, and I'm pretty sure my new boyfriends are a pack of werewolves. Stealing Joy Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, a minuscule magical municipality hidden in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Sometimes the scariest demons disguise themselves as someone you love. I learned that the hard way. I got out with my life, barely. I rescued myself from one danger, only to throw myself into another. I would have never survived a night in the woods on the side of a mountain if Doggo hadn’t shown up and brought his friends. Now I’m in protective custody, and for some reason, these crazy hot men are my self-appointed bodyguards. I’d like the tall one, Gage, to do a bit more than just guard my body, but Doggo—his real name is Max—might have something to say about that. Apparently, he has claimed me. The only explanation Gage will give me is, “Monsters are real, and love is magic.” I have to wait for the new moon to find out the rest. Stealing Joy is the sexy hot menage beginning to the Wolves of Wet Waterfalls, a why choose/ poly romance trilogy. Finding Home Everything is changing so fast, except my rate of healing. I would really like to be able to walk around in regular clothes. These open-back hospital gowns are a little too cold up the back side. I’d give my left pinkie toe for some warm cotton panties. Oh, wait I have, so where are my panties? The guys keep repeating, “We are pack,” like some kind of cult mantra. It tickles when they say it against my skin. The FBI wants to use me as some kind of fishing lure to catch the bad guy. I’m game if it means I can finally ditch the whole hospitalized patient get-up. I’m really tired of being hooked up to an IV. Also, I really want the good guys to catch the evil known as my ex-boyfriend. I can’t believe I thought I was in love with him. Max has gone AWOL and Gage has promised to keep me safe. I’m counting on him. Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, Wyoming, my new hometown. I’m moving here because monsters are real, doughnuts are magic, and I’m pretty sure my new boyfriend is a werewolf. Finding Home is the second in the sexy hot trilogy of the Wolves of Wet Waterfalls Ending Torment The good guys won and Max came home, but I still can’t quite relax, too much to do. The day is finally here and I’m far from being ready. I still don’t have everything I need, including something to wear. Preparations would be a lot easier if Kathleen, Gage’s ex, wasn’t going around town telling everyone I’m harassing her. She even took out a restraining order against me. Despite her attempt to get me in trouble with the local sheriff’s department, I’m going to stay here, and I’m marrying Gage. I’m not sure which I’m more excited about getting married or the full moon. The full moon means I finally get answers, but it also means I’m without protection by my side for three nights. I should be fine. My murderous ex is in FBI custody. Right? Welcome to Wet Waterfalls, there are demons in the woods, and witches on Main street. Ending Torment is the last story in the sexy hot trilogy.
