Self and Soul - A Defense of Ideals In today's society, where skepticism and materialism have become the norm, Mark Edmundson's "Self and Soul" stands out as a passionate defense of the enduring values of the soul. This book takes readers on a journey through the ancient sources of three great ideals: courage, contemplation, and compassion. With Homer's Iliad as the starting point, Edmundson skillfully weaves together the stories of Achilles and Hector to illustrate the contrast between the heroic ideal and the sacrificial ideal. Plato's quest for timeless truth serves as the embodiment of the authentic thinker, while Jesus, the Buddha, and Confucius embody the ideal of compassion. Shakespeare and Freud, on the other hand, are presented as the modern world's greatest enemies of these ideals. Shakespeare rejects chivalry and has little use for faith and philosophy, while Freud views ideals as illusions that will ultimately betray us. However, it is precisely here that Edmundson sees an opportunity for resurrection, as he argues that imaginative creation, exemplified by Blake and Shelley, offers a new path forward. The Need to Study and Understand Technological Evolution In this thought-provoking book, Edmundson emphasizes the importance of understanding the process of technological evolution in order to survive in today's rapidly changing world.
Self and Soul - A Defense of Ideals В современном обществе, где скептицизм и материализм стали нормой, «Self and Soul» Марка Эдмундсона выделяется как страстная защита непреходящих ценностей души. Эта книга берет читателей в путешествие по древним источникам трех великих идеалов: мужества, созерцания и сострадания. С «Илиадой» Гомера в качестве отправной точки Эдмундсон умело сплетает воедино истории Ахилла и Гектора, чтобы проиллюстрировать контраст между героическим идеалом и жертвенным идеалом. Стремление Платона к вневременной истине служит воплощением подлинного мыслителя, в то время как Иисус, Будда и Конфуций воплощают идеал сострадания. Шекспир и Фрейд же представлены как величайшие враги этих идеалов в современном мире. Шекспир отвергает рыцарство и имеет мало пользы для веры и философии, в то время как Фрейд рассматривает идеалы как иллюзии, которые в конечном итоге предадут нас. Однако именно здесь Эдмундсон видит возможность для воскрешения, так как он утверждает, что творение с воображением, примером которого являются Блейк и Шелли, предлагает новый путь вперед. Необходимость изучения и понимания технологической эволюции В этой книге, побуждающей к размышлениям, Эдмундсон подчеркивает важность понимания процесса технологической эволюции, чтобы выжить в современном быстро меняющемся мире.
Self and Soul - A Defense of Ideals Dans une société moderne où le scepticisme et le matérialisme sont devenus la norme, « Self and Soul » de Mark Edmundson se distingue comme une défense passionnée des valeurs durables de l'âme. Ce livre emmène les lecteurs dans un voyage à travers les sources antiques de trois grands idéaux : courage, contemplation et compassion. Avec l'Iliade d'Homer comme point de départ, Edmundson fait savamment le lien entre l'histoire d'Achille et Hector pour illustrer le contraste entre l'idéal héroïque et l'idéal sacrificiel. L'aspiration de Platon à la vérité intemporelle est l'incarnation d'un penseur authentique, tandis que Jésus, Bouddha et Confucius incarnent l'idéal de compassion. Shakespeare et Freud sont présentés comme les plus grands ennemis de ces idéaux dans le monde d'aujourd'hui. Shakespeare rejette la chevalerie et n'a que peu d'avantages pour la foi et la philosophie, tandis que Freud considère les idéaux comme des illusions qui finiront par nous trahir. Mais c'est là qu'Edmundson voit une occasion de résurrection, car il affirme que la création avec l'imagination, dont Blake et Shelley sont un exemple, offre une nouvelle voie à suivre. La nécessité d'étudier et de comprendre l'évolution technologique Dans ce livre de réflexion, Edmundson souligne l'importance de comprendre le processus d'évolution technologique pour survivre dans le monde en mutation rapide d'aujourd'hui.

Este libro lleva a los lectores a recorrer las fuentes antiguas de tres grandes ideales: el coraje, la contemplación y la compasión.

Shakespeare y Freud, en cambio, se presentan como los mayores enemigos de estos ideales en el mundo moderno.

Self and Soul - Eine Verteidigung der Ideale In der heutigen Gesellschaft, in der Skepsis und Materialismus zur Norm geworden sind, zeichnet sich Mark Edmundsons „Self and Soul“ als leidenschaftliche Verteidigung der bleibenden Werte der Seele aus. Dieses Buch nimmt die ser mit auf eine Reise durch die alten Quellen der drei großen Ideale: Mut, Kontemplation und Mitgefühl. Mit Homers Ilias als Ausgangspunkt verwebt Edmundson geschickt die Geschichten von Achilles und Hector, um den Kontrast zwischen heroischem Ideal und Opferideal zu verdeutlichen. Platons Streben nach zeitloser Wahrheit dient als Verkörperung eines echten Denkers, während Jesus, Buddha und Konfuzius das Ideal des Mitgefühls verkörpern. Shakespeare und Freud hingegen werden als die größten Feinde dieser Ideale in der modernen Welt dargestellt. Shakespeare lehnt Ritterlichkeit ab und hat wenig Nutzen für Glauben und Philosophie, während Freud Ideale als Illusionen betrachtet, die uns letztendlich verraten werden. Hier sieht Edmundson jedoch eine Chance für die Auferstehung, da er behauptet, dass eine Schöpfung mit Fantasie, wie sie Blake und Shelley vorleben, einen neuen Weg nach vorne bietet. Die Notwendigkeit, die technologische Evolution zu studieren und zu verstehen In diesem Buch, das zum Nachdenken anregt, betont Edmundson, wie wichtig es ist, den Prozess der technologischen Evolution zu verstehen, um in der sich schnell verändernden Welt von heute zu überleben.

Benlik ve Ruh - İdeallerin Savunması Şüphecilik ve materyalizmin norm haline geldiği günümüz toplumunda, Mark Edmundson'un "Benlik ve Ruh'u ruhun kalıcı değerlerinin tutkulu bir savunması olarak öne çıkıyor. Bu kitap okuyucuları üç büyük idealin antik kaynakları arasında bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor: cesaret, tefekkür ve şefkat. Başlangıç noktası olarak Homeros'un "İlyada'sını kullanan Edmundson, kahramanlık ideali ile kurban ideali arasındaki karşıtlığı göstermek için Achilles ve Hector'un hikayelerini ustalıkla bir araya getirir. Platon'un zamansız hakikat arayışı, otantik bir düşünürün bedenlenmesi olarak hizmet ederken, İsa, Buda ve Konfüçyüs şefkat idealini somutlaştırır. Shakespeare ve Freud modern dünyada bu ideallerin en büyük düşmanları olarak gösterilmektedir. Shakespeare şövalyeliği reddeder ve inanç ve felsefe için çok az faydası vardır, Freud ise idealleri sonunda bize ihanet edecek yanılsamalar olarak görür. Bununla birlikte, Edmundson'un yeniden diriliş için bir fırsat gördüğü yer burasıdır, çünkü Blake ve Shelley tarafından örneklenen yaratıcı yaratılışın yeni bir yol sunduğunu savunur. Teknolojik Evrimi İnceleme ve Anlama İhtiyacı Bu düşündürücü kitapta Edmundson, günümüzün hızla değişen dünyasında hayatta kalabilmek için teknolojik evrim sürecini anlamanın önemini vurguluyor.
الذات والروح - دفاع عن المثل العليا في مجتمع اليوم، حيث أصبحت الشكوك والمادية هي القاعدة، تبرز «الذات والروح» لمارك إدموندسون كدفاع عاطفي عن قيم الروح الدائمة. يأخذ هذا الكتاب القراء في رحلة عبر المصادر القديمة للمثل العليا الثلاثة: الشجاعة والتأمل والرحمة. مع «الإلياذة» لهوميروس كنقطة انطلاق، ينسج إدموندسون بمهارة قصص أخيل وهيكتور لتوضيح التناقض بين المثالية البطولية والمثل الأعلى للتضحية. سعي أفلاطون للحصول على الحقيقة الخالدة بمثابة تجسيد لمفكر حقيقي، بينما يجسد يسوع وبوذا وكونفوشيوس المثل الأعلى للرحمة. يتم تقديم شكسبير وفرويد على أنهما أعظم أعداء هذه المثل العليا في العالم الحديث. يرفض شكسبير المروءة وليس له فائدة تذكر للإيمان والفلسفة، بينما يرى فرويد المثل العليا على أنها أوهام ستخوننا في النهاية. ومع ذلك، هذا هو المكان الذي يرى فيه إدموندسون فرصة للقيامة، حيث يجادل بأن الإبداع الخيالي الذي يمثله بليك وشيلي يوفر طريقًا جديدًا للمضي قدمًا. الحاجة إلى دراسة وفهم التطور التكنولوجي في هذا الكتاب المثير للتفكير، يؤكد إدموندسون على أهمية فهم عملية التطور التكنولوجي من أجل البقاء في عالم اليوم سريع التغير.
