God and Man in the Law by Robert Lowry Clinton Pdf
In a wide-ranging study based on legal history, political theory, and philosophical ideas going all the way back to Plato and Roman law, Robert Clinton challenges current faith in an activist judiciary. Claiming that a human-centered Constitution leads to government by reductive moral theory and illegitimate judicial review, he advocates a return to traditional jurisprudence and a God-centered Constitution grounded in English common law and its precedents.
Mind Over Matter (illustrated) by Michael Kerrigan Pdf
Is it possible to 'send' thoughts into someone else's brain? Can random number generators predict future events? Why does a placebo work like a drug? Is there a collective consciousness? Even in this age of neurological discovery, the mind is still largely uncharted territory. What if there is more to the power of thought than we have yet grasped? This enthralling introduction, packed with illustrations and feature panels, takes in an extraordinary breadth of topi, with an even-handed approach, sifting fact from fantasy—and fraud. Encompassing the ideas of the greatest minds in Western intellectual and scientific history—Aristotle, Descartes, Newton, Einstein and more—it ventures far beyond the confines of that tradition to address Eastern thought and other ways of knowing, and exploring some of the enigmas that might conceivably be unlocked in the near future. "A smart, dynamic, approachable exploration ... offering a rare blend of compelling narrative and responsible research on the connections between mind and matter."

Adler's Philosophical Dictionary by Mortimer J. Adler Pdf
Stimulating, engaging, and organized in an easy-to-use, A-to-Z format, Adler's Philosophical Dictionary is an ideal introduction to the history of the great ideas. The terms and concepts that have simulated thinkers from Aristotle onward come to life in the latest work by the man TIME magazine has called "America's philosopher for everyman." Is the human soul immortal? What does it mean to know something? What is the nature of erotic love? Adler examines these questions as well as many others with his trademark clarity, rigor, and common sense.
One of the great tasks of Mortimer Adler’s illustrious life was his search for a watertight proof of the existence of God. Adler believed that his search had been successful. Adler spent years studying the classic proofs of God’s existence, especially Aquinas’s Five Ways, and found shortcomings in all of them, as conventionally understood. But he thought that some of them contained ideas which, if properly developed, could be improved, and he continued to search for a satisfying and logically unassailable proof. Toward the end of the 1970s, he believed he had arrived at such a proof, which he presented in his historic work, How to Think about God (1980). In the writings assembled in How to Prove There Is a God, Adler gives us his approach to the question of God’s existence in fresh and popular form. He defends his position against critics, both believers and skeptics. The book includes a transcript of one of Adler’s appearances on William Buckley’s Firing Line, Adler’s revealing interview with Edward Wakin, the exchange of views on natural theology between Adler and Owen Gingerich, and John Cramer’s eloquent argument that the trend of modern cosmology supports Adler’s early struggles with the question of God's existence.

Each of us has different goals and motivations, and feels different about our bodies. And how we perceive our level of fitness and health varies widely. Feeling good to one person might mean having more energy to do the things they enjoy. For some, feeling good means satisfaction with the way they look, giving them the confidence to take on new challenges. Everyone, large or small, strong or weak, tired or energetic -- whatever our goals are, the challenges remain the same: to eat properly and exercise consistently. Susan Cantwell demonstrates in Mind over Matter that the key to success ties in sticking with a weight-loss program when the demands of our hectic lives threaten to overwhelm us. Cantwell isn't offering yet another diet and exercise regime, but examines why we are unsuccessful at changing our lifestyles permanently. Cantwell provides strategies on how to integrate a weight-loss program into our lives permanently, avoid feelings of guilt and failure, and keep the "time thieves" at bay. We don't stop to think about what's best for us, or how we can achieve our goals. But don't give up: Mind over Matter is your guide to better health. You'll take a good look at your decision to change your lifestyle, and look honestly at your commitment. You'll get prepared, understand what's truly motivating you, and set a specific day to begin exercising. Achieving success has nothing to do with determination or willpower but rather a specific way of viewing and preparing yourself and your life for permanent lifestyle changes. Your mind will be clear, your body ready. Enjoy your better life!
