Such beliefs are entertaining, and it is tempting to think of them as harmless. However, there is mounting evidence that paranormal beliefs can be dangerous - cases of children dying because parents rejected orthodox medicine in favour of alternative remedies, and 'psychics' who trade on the grief of the bereaved for personal profit and gain. Expenditure on the paranormal runs into billions of dollars each year. In Beyond Belief: Skepticism, Science and the Paranormal Martin Bridgstock provides an integrated understanding of what an evidence-based approach to the paranormal - a skeptical approach - involves, and why it is necessary. Bridgstock does not set out to show that all paranormal claims are necessarily false, but he does suggest that we all need the analytical ability and critical thinking skills to seek and assess the evidence for paranormal claims.ParapsychologyParapsychology and scienceSkepticismParapsychology.Parapsychology and science.Skepticism.130Bridgstock Martin1948-1527179UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910791129503321Beyond belief3769751UNINA04468nam 2200661 450 991081021910332120210430004117.00-231-54012-410.7312/de-v17022(CKB)3710000000473234(EBL)4414122(SSID)ssj0001555627(PQKBManifestationID)16180062(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001555627(PQKBWorkID)14256456(PQKB)10547981(StDuBDS)EDZ0001285109(MiAaPQ)EBC4579973(DE-B1597)458305(OCoLC)979628955(DE-B1597)9780231540124(Au-PeEL)EBL4579973(CaPaEBR)ebr11242189(CaONFJC)MIL838511(OCoLC)957436185(EXLCZ)99371000000047323420160824h20152015 uy 0engur|nu---|u||utxtccrLove and forgiveness for a more just world /edited by Hent de Vries and Nils F.

Or one can forgive but not love, or choose to forgive but not love the ones forgiven. Love and forgiveness follow parallel and largely independent paths, a truth we fail to acknowledge when we pressure others to both love and forgive. Individuals in conflict, sparring social and ethnic groups, warring religious communities, and insecure nations often do not need to pursue love and forgiveness to achieve peace of mind and heart. They need to remain attentive to the needs of others, an alertness that prompts either love or forgiveness to respond. By reorienting our perception of these enduring phenomena, the contributors to this volume inspire new applications for love and forgiveness in an increasingly globalized and no longer quite secular world. With contributions by the renowned French philosophers Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Marion, the poet Haleh Liza Gafori, and scholars of religion (Leora Batnitzky, Nils F. Schott, Hent de Vries), psychoanalysis (Albert Mason, Orna Ophir), Islamic and political philosophy (Sari Nusseibeh), and the Bible and literature (Regina Schwartz), this anthology reconstructs the historical and conceptual lineage of love and forgiveness and their fraught relationship over time. By examining how we have used-and misused-these concepts, the authors advance a better understanding of their ability to unite different individuals and emerging groups around a shared engagement for freedom and equality, peace and solidarity.Religion, culture, and public life.LovePhilosophyForgivenessConduct of lifeLovePhilosophy.Forgiveness.Conduct of life.128/.46Vries Hent deMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810219103321Love and forgiveness for a more just world4049467UNINA
