Western education and increased interaction with other cultures had made the society more complex and sophisticated. At the same time, social evils like corruption, robbery, prostitution, broken homes and sexual promiscuity were on the increase. “While this is happening,” says the author, “African culture is often referred to in the past tense as if it is no longer relevant.” She wished to discover what were the virtues that, prior to the introduction of western civilization, held society together and formed the basis of its morality. She decided to examine some of the key virtues (honesty, generosity, justice, courage and temperance) that were highly valued in traditional Gĩkũyũ culture. She then compared the understanding and practice of these virtues by three groups: old people (who had had first-hand experience of traditional life), middle-aged people and young people. The results of this study should appeal to researchers and teachers of African traditions, culture, religion and ethics. Equally, students of comparative ethics should find this a valuable source of information on traditional ways of maintaining behaviour that made for harmony in society. Young Africans wishing to get a deeper understanding of their roots should also find this work of great interest.Studien zur interkulturellen Philosophie ;19.Ethics, KikuyuKikuyu (African people)EthicsKenyaPhilosophy, AfricanElectronic books.Ethics, Kikuyu.Kikuyu (African people)EthicsPhilosophy, African.170Wangeci Kinoti Hannah991092Wanjohi G.

Juel (1942-2003) devoted his life to engaging scripture faithfully, intelligently, and imaginatively. For Juel, theological interpretation of the Bible meant having an encounter with the living God. This volume identifies and connects many of the overarching themes that animated Juel's work. Including his thoughts on the rhetorical nature of scripture, the challenges facing academic instruction of the Bible, the reader's place in the biblical narrative, and the hope of resurrection, among others, the selections are accessible and engaging and paint a unique portrait of the way Juel thought and lived. Juel seeks to nourish readers in developing richer imaginations about who God is and how Christians meet God through reading the Bible."Sermons, AmericanElectronic books.Sermons, American.230/.041Juel Donald965972Berg Shane1971-965973Skinner Matthew L.1968-965974MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457404503321Shaping the scriptural imagination2192187UNINA04048oam 2200589 n 450 991030663790332120230328170828.0979-1-03-510252-410.4000/books.psorbonne.14676(CKB)4100000007522749(FrMaCLE)OB-psorbonne-14676(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/39835(PPN)267969287(EXLCZ)99410000000752274920190124j|||||||| ||| 0freuu||||||m||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrier(Re)lire L’Esprit des lois /Catherine Volpilhac-Auger, Luigi DeliaParis Editions de la Sorbonne20181 online resource (196 p.)2-85944-799-7 Individu et société chez Montesquieu --L'Esprit des lois de Montesquieu : une éclipse de l'amour-propre? --Montesquieu et la problématique de l'inquiétude --La famille dans L'Esprit des lois --Montesquieu et l'histoire de la pensée politique --Modération, justice et jugement chez Montesquieu --Montesquieu et le droit naturel --L'Esprit des lois en question --Sur le livre X de L'Esprit des lois : le problème de la conquête --La troisième exception.

Le livre XV de L'Esprit des lois sous le regard du Settecento --Daguesseau et Montesquieu : influence réciproque ou parallélisme concurrent?Depuis une quinzaine d'années, les études sur Montesquieu se sont profondément renouvelées. Le corpus lui-même, grâce aux Œuvres complètes en cours, et notamment avec la première publication intégrale du manuscrit de travail de L'Esprit des lois, offre des perspectives inédites. Mais c'est aussi l'approche même qui a changé : la diversité des questions et des thèmes que son œuvre permet d'aborder élargit le champ de la recherche, de la philosophie morale et politique à l'histoire ou l'anthropologie, ou encore à la pensée du droit et de la société. Ce volume en tire méthodiquement les conséquences. Dans la perspective de l'édition critique des Œuvres complètes de Montesquieu, c'est à une relecture non pas radicale, mais en finesse et en profondeur qu'invite ce volume, en développant le rapport entre l'homme et la société, en redessinant la relation aux grands massifs de la tradition philosophique d'une pensée dont on suit jusqu'à son terme la logique, en suggérant des relations inédites à travers des rapprochements qui s'imposent, mais n'avaient pourtant guère été faits : ce qui restait informe ou informulé s'est éclairé, ce dont on devinait l'importance s'est approfondi. Ensuite, que restera-t-il à (re)lire ?
