Written posthumously -- Bibliography -- Index.Philosophical liberalism is the dominant view in the world today. Even those who reject liberalism philosophically, subscribe to its view of freedom, which is a negative view, common to liberalism, libertarianism, and anarchism. The alternative is recognition of nature, thoroughly, applied fully to human beings. The Buddha set it out as a philosophy, and he lived it. It was a practice. <br><br>It brings death back into life. The common view is that death is the opposite of life. Yet death is part of life, from the beginning. We see this in many great writers, Dostoevsky, for example. His characters find human communion in suffering, despite their differences. Contradictions are inherent in life, but we find our way, not a single way. It brings realism back, which is truth. <br><br>It has been present in human societies throughout history. It has been banished because of a false view of truth, connected to a false view of freedom. It could be recognized as philosophy. The Buddha taught people simply. There was no dogma. He did not teach them to follow him but to be masters of their own salvation. Unless this view is recognized as Philosophy, as it should be, including truth, it will again become religion, rather than a way of life, an art of living.NatureReligious aspectsBuddhismBuddhist cosmologyBuddhist philosophyBuddhismPhilosophyBuddhism and philosophyNatureReligious aspectsBuddhism.Buddhist cosmology.Buddhist philosophy.BuddhismPhilosophy.Buddhism and philosophy.181/.043Babbitt Susan E.614994UkCbUPUkCbUP9910758401003321Early Buddhism as philosophy of existence3598421UNINA03436nam 22005652 450 991079489300332120170811033847.01-78138-230-11-78138-877-6(CKB)4330000000005752(SSID)ssj0001672179(PQKBManifestationID)16470072(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001672179(PQKBWorkID)14828627(PQKB)10022922(StDuBDS)EDZ0001372761(MiAaPQ)EBC4779097(UkCbUP)CR9781781388778(Au-PeEL)EBL4779097(CaPaEBR)ebr11326024(OCoLC)961152753(EXLCZ)99433000000000575220170307d2015|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Earles of Liverpool a Georgian merchant dynasty /Peter Earle[electronic resource]Liverpool :Liverpool University Press,2015.1 online resource (xvi, 301 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 11 Aug 2017).1-78138-173-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.This book uses the experience of three generations of the Earle family to throw light on the social and economic history of Liverpool during its rise to prominence as a great port, from 1688 to 1840. The focus is on six members of this successful family, John who came to Liverpool as apprentice to a merchant in 1688, his three sons, Ralph, Thomas and William, who all became merchants specializing in different branches of the trade of the port, and William's two sons, another Thomas and another William, who consolidated the fortunes of the family and began the process of converting their wealth into gentility. The approach is descriptive rather than theoretical, and the aim throughout has been to make the book entertaining as well as informative.Where sources permit, the book describes the businesses run by these men, often in considerable detail. Trading in slaves was an important part of the business of three of them, but they and other members of the family also engaged in a variety of other trades, such as the import-export business with Leghorn (Livorno) in Italy, fishing in Newfoundland and the Shetland Islands, the wine and fruit trades of Spain, Portugal and the Azores, the import of raw cotton for the industries of the Industrial Revolution and the Russia trade. Other family interests included privateering, art collection and the trade in art, a sugar plantation in Guyana, and the emigrant trade. While the book is mainly a work of economic history, there is also much on the merchants' wives and families and on the social history of both Liverpool and Livorno.MerchantsEnglandLiverpoolBiographyLiverpool (England)CommerceHistoryLiverpool (England)Economic conditions18th centuryLiverpool (England)HistoryBiography.fastHistory.fastMerchants942.75307Earle Peter1937-196623UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910794893003321The Earles of Liverpool3822903UNINA
