    Reisgids Greece: The Peloponnese - Griekenland: Peloponnesos | Bradt Travel Guides
    Reisgids Greece: The Peloponnese - Griekenland: Peloponnesos | Bradt Travel Guides
    Voor vele landen net zo goed, zo niet beter dan de Planet. Beduidend soberder uitgevoerd, maar ook met veel informatie voor backpackers en met veel kaartmateriaal. Een aanrader! Engels.

    Searching in Face of Mystery (Paperback)
    Searching in Face of Mystery (Paperback)
    Present day, many people in western countries are inspired by more than one religious or wisdom tradition without committing to any one of them exclusively. This PhD thesis is one of the first studies that proposes a theology for this type of faith. The method used is Imaginative Construction as proposed by Gordon Kaufman. This theology discusses a set of topics which is relevant for religious seekers: ethics, religious interest, the human, the world, ultimate reality, key to the ultimate, truth, spiritual growth, afterlife, and religious diversity. For ethics, religious interest, spiritual growth, truth and religious diversity, it is argued that religious seekers have reasons to decide. The decisions that are suggested for these topics lead to six steps of faith guiding someone from an agnostic starting point to a considered religious seeker position. For the other topics: ultimate reality, key to the ultimate, the human, the world and afterlife, this theology proposes to refrain from

    A deeper sense of life (Paperback)
    A deeper sense of life (Paperback)
    Master Morya says, "If you have a goal in life, a very worthwhile goal, then every action, even the smallest, is saturated with this energy. So it is that a single action of one person may be great and profound, even symbolic, his or her action may even be of great importance for the world, whereas another person indulges in a thousand and one actions that have little or no importance at all because his or her goal has little or no power." In plain language, the Morya books communicate the deepest spirituality. Whether you choose to read them as a source of spiritual study, to reflect on single passages or simply leaf through the books out of curiosity, time after time, you'll go away with a gained insight and wisdom that you are not only able to comprehend but can also apply to your daily life. Without avoiding any subject and using finely nuanced words, Master Morya manages to sketch a profound picture of the reality of this world, a picture that never ceases to provide solutions to

    Death and belonging (Paperback)
    Death and belonging (Paperback)
    Our times are characterized by increasing interactions, interdependence, and connections between people from different cultural, religious, linguistic, national, ethnic, … backgrounds, to the point where group identities start to lose the focal point of interest. Today, the concept of super-diversity describes society as in a permanent situation of transition where people need to adapt to a new social and cultural reality. Not all differences are, however, 'equally different' and minorities do not stand on an equal footing with one another or with regard to the realization of rights and the distribution of wealth. The challenge is still to make living together work in a just and dignified way amidst differences and conflicts. It is at this point that the idea of this book took shape. What if, instead of tackling the issue of living together directly, we approach it by a detour? Death is, perhaps, the most drastic life event in a community. At the same time, however, it is surrounded by

    The book of ideals (Paperback)
    Would you like to be meaningful, but you don't know how to realize your ideals? This guide shows you the way. How to change yourself and the world. Our planet is crying out for do-gooders of all colors and sizes.

Then take advantage of all the tips and inspiring stories in this book. According to Marnix Geus, nothing is more motivating than an ideal.

    Productomschrijving

    Do all individuals embrace the ideal of self-development in their lives? Frans Vosman argues that there exists a cultural group of people who prioritize something entirely different: survival. Survival entails coping with the harsh realities of daily life and the challenges it presents. Vosman advocates for the use of the concepts of “form of life” and “cultural class” in political-ethical research. “Form of life” allows us to move away from the ontological focus in care ethics, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of human beings and their inherent caregiving nature. “Cultural class” helps to challenge hegemonic ideals. Survival, as a phenomenon, is so pervasive that we often fail to recognize it as a way of life. Our fixation on ideals blinds us to this reality. In this lecture, Vosman skillfully sheds light on this reality, offering intellectual clarity and deep empathy for those living under conditions of survival. Frans Vosman (1952-2020) was a Professor of Care Ethics at the
