Love's Vision by Troy Jollimore Pdf

Love often seems uncontrollable and irrational, but we just as frequently appear to have reasons for loving the people we do. In Love's Vision, Troy Jollimore offers a new way of understanding love that accommodates both of these facts, arguing that love is guided by reason even as it resists and sometimes eludes rationality. At the same time, he reconsiders love's moral status, acknowledging its moral dangers while arguing that it is, at heart, a moral phenomenon--an emotion that demands empathy and calls us away from excessive self-concern. Love is revealed as neither wholly moral nor deeply immoral, neither purely rational nor profoundly irrational. Rather, as Diotima says in Plato's Symposium, love is "something in between." Jollimore makes his case by proposing a "vision" view of love, according to which loving is a way of seeing that involves bestowing charitable attention on a loved one. This view recognizes the truth in the cliché "love is blind," but holds that love's blindness does not undermine the idea that love is guided by reason. Reasons play an important role in love even if they rest on facts that are not themselves rationally justifiable. Filled with illuminating examples from literature, Love's Vision is an original examination of a subject of vital philosophical and human concern.

All About Love by bell hooks Pdf

A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.

Love in Vain by Alan Greenberg Pdf

"Love in Vain" is Alan GreenbergOCOs remarkable, highly acclaimed, and genre-defying screenplay and is widely considered to be one of the foremost books on Robert JohnsonOCOs life and legacy and an extraordinary exercise in American mythmaking.

For the Love of Men by Liz Plank Pdf

A nonfiction investigation into masculinity, For The Love of Men provides actionable steps for how to be a man in the modern world, while also exploring how being a man in the world has evolved. In 2019, traditional masculinity is both rewarded and sanctioned. Men grow up being told that boys don’t cry and dolls are for girls (a newer phenomenon than you might realize—gendered toys came back in vogue as recently as the 80s). They learn they must hide their feelings and anxieties, that their masculinity must constantly be proven. They must be the breadwinners, they must be the romantic pursuers. This hasn’t been good for the culture at large: 99% of school shooters are male; men in fraternities are 300% (!) more likely to commit rape; a woman serving in uniform has a higher likelihood of being assaulted by a fellow soldier than to be killed by enemy fire. In For the Love of Men, Liz offers a smart, insightful, and deeply-researched guide for what we're all going to do about toxic masculinity. For both women looking to guide the men in their lives and men who want to do better and just don’t know how, For the Love of Men will lead the conversation on men's issues in a society where so much is changing, but gender roles have remained strangely stagnant. What are we going to do about men? Liz Plank has the answer. And it has the possibility to change the world for men and women alike.

The Supremacy of Love by Eric J. Silverman Pdf

The Supremacy of Love advocates an agape-centered vision of virtue ethics, combining traditional Aristotelian ethics with insights from Thomas Aquinas. It shows why virtue is good for the virtuous individual, reimagines impartiality so that it is compatible with close personal relationships, and has pluralistic cross-cultural applications.

Through the Tears I Saw A A Vision of True Love: My Love Letter from God by Gerald Rodas Moores Pdf

Through The Tears I Saw A Vision Of True Love: My Love Letter From God, is a true story about how I took my dreams, turning them into paintings. Finding God's love for me through the tear. Born dyslexic I was unable to read or spell most of my life. I acquired knowledge like the rain barrel placed underneath a dripping faucet. Each drop; containing a small story of a time in my life symbolic of each story God sent to me to live over time. Using a computer to write my book. I painted the cover of the ebook, representing every teardrop that fell from my eyes, holding its own laughter, joy, happiness, pain, and loss story that created it. No teardrop was formed from the same reason, as well as no soul on this great planet was formed for the same reason in life. Each story is a lesson in life's path I followed. I hope everyone can take the stories and apply them to their lives. God sends us messages in different ways that most of us miss. I chose a different cover of the paperback book which is the photograph of the Virgin Mary I took when she appeared to me giving me her message. I hope everyone that reads this book will go through life with a better knowledge of what is truly important in life and just slow down long enough to tell someone you love them the same way God loves you, unconditionally. True love from our Heavenly Father, Christ, and the Holy Ghost. I hope you enjoy my love letter from God.

Love Needs Vision by Anshuman Raj Pdf

We love, we fall and we break. But do we know that we're still in love? I have written this book, 'Love Needs Vision' in order to create love in this world. Love isn't the body but the soul that never dies. Just imagine: when we love ourselves, we remain happy. In that case, when we love all, how much we can be happy. Unmeasurable! We do everything for the bliss but still we don't love which is the pillar of everything in the world. We're restless however we attain all we want because most of us are not pure by the hearts. We don't want ourselves happy for goodness by helping the needy but for the temporary bliss by helping the money to be doubled. Nowadays, there isn't only the problem of love but of the vision also. We look everything with our eyes- love, care, beauty and so on. But we forget that these emotions need the vision to see or feel. The vision means to identify or understand the depth of all. Truly has been said that It's not like that we see all the time. Love is the flow of positivity and we need the vision to see and develop it. The vision helps us to get rid of hatred, loneliness and so on. We need to learn the good qualities from all and love them for those precious gifts. And this is possible with the vision.

To Love Is to Act by Marva A. Barnett Pdf

"To love is to act"-- "Aimer, c'est agir." These words, which Victor Hugo wrote three days before he died, epitomize his life's philosophy. His love of freedom, democracy, and all people--especially the poor and wretched--drove him not only to write his epic Les Misérables but also to follow his conscience. We have much to learn from Hugo, who battled for justice, lobbied against slavery and the death penalty, and fought for the rights of women and children. In a series of essays that interweave Hugo's life with Les Misérables and point to the novel's contemporary relevance, To Love Is to Act explores how Hugo reveals his guiding principles for life, including his belief in the redemptive power of love and forgiveness. Enriching the book are insights from artists who captured the novel's heart in the famed musical, Les Mis creators Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, producer of the musical Les Misérables Cameron Mackintosh, film director Tom Hooper, and award-winning actors who have portrayed Jean Valjean: Colm Wilkinson and Hugh Jackman.
