New Testament I and II represents Vol. I/15 and I/16 in the Works
of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century. The present
volume contains the translations of four works, all of which are
exegetical treatises of one sort or another: The Lord's Sermon on
the Mount, Agreement among the Evangelists, Questions on the
Gospels and Seventeen Questions on Matthew. Each of the four works
are accompanied by its own introduction, general index, and
scripture index. The Lord's Sermon on the Mount (translated by
Michael Campbell, OSA) is an exegesis of chapters five through
seven of Matthew's Gospel, but Augustine's explanation of the
Sermon is more a charter of Christian morality and spirituality
than mere exegesis of the text and brings a unity to the lengthy
discourse that goes far beyond an account of what the text says.
Augustine wrote Agreement among the Evangelists in 400,
contemporaneously with the composition of his Confessions (397 -
401).The treatise, translated by Kim Paffenroth, is an attempt to
defend the veracity of the four evangelists in the face of seeming
incompatibilities in their record of the gospel events, especially
against some pagan philosophers who raised objections to the gospel
narratives based on alleged inconsistencies. Questions on the
Gospels and Seventeen Questions on Matthew are translated by Roland
Teske, SJ. Questions on the Gospels is a record of questions that
arose when Augustine was reading the Gospels of Matthew and Luke
with a disciple. The answers to the questions are not intended to
be commentaries on the Gospels in their entirety but merely
represent the answers to the questions that arose for the student
at the time. Seventeen Questions on Matthew is similarly in the
question-and-answer genre and is most likely by Augustine, but it
includes some paragraphs at the end that are certainly not his. For
all those who are interested in the greatest classics of Christian
antiquity, Augustine's works are indispensable. This long-awaited
translation makes Augustine's monumental work approachable.ABOUT
THE AUTHOR Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is one of the greatest
thinkers and writers of the Western world. After he converted to
Christianity he became bishop of Hippo in North Africa, where he
was influential in civil and church affairs. His writings have had
a lasting impact on Western philosophy and culture.
This book explores and elaborates three theories of public reason,
drawn from Rawlsian political liberalism, natural law theory, and
Confucianism. Drawing together academics from these separate
approaches, the volume explores how the three theories critique
each other, as well as how each one brings its theoretical arsenal
to bear on the urgent contemporary debate of medical assistance in
dying. The volume is structured in two parts: an exploration of the
three traditions, followed by an in-depth overview of the
conceptual and historical background. In Part I, the three
comprehensive opening chapters are supplemented by six dynamic
chapters in dialogue with each other, each author responding to the
other two traditions, and subsequently reflecting on the possible
deficiencies of their own theories. The chapters in Part II cover a
broad range of subjects, from an overview of the history of
bioethics to the nature of autonomy and its status as a moral and
political value. In its entirety, the volume provides a vibrant and
exemplary collaborative resource to scholars interested in the role
of public reason and its relevance in bioethical debate.
This volume is a reappraisal of the work of Peter Guy Winch (1926
-1997), one of the most important philosophers of the 20th Century.
Winch faded into relative obscurity compared to his contemporaries
due to a mistaken belief that there are no systematic connections
between the different aspects of his work. This volume corrects
that presupposition and reintroduces Winch's work to a new
generation of scholars. By showing how ethical, political and
social issues are interrelated in Winch's work, and by making clear
the connections between these issues and themes in metaphysics and
the philosophy of mind, the volume demonstrates both the breadth
and the unity of Winch's approach. It discusses topics such as
ethics, political philosophy, social science, the philosophy of
action, the philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and the philosophy of
language. Despite this apparent variety of topics, the contributors
to the volume share Winch's conviction that the different areas of
philosophy are interdependent. As a result, the volume as a whole
shows unity in diversity and provides an example of a manner of
philosophising in which different approaches and sub-disciplines
are placed in dialogue with each other. Peter Guy Winch is most
famous for his early work on the philosophy of the social sciences.
His On the Idea of a Social Science and its Relation to Philosophy
(ISS) generated controversy within both philosophical and social
scientific circles. In that work and subsequent publications Winch
argued against the presupposition that social relations could be
understood using the conceptual tools of the natural sciences.
Winch would later describe ISS as a 'young man's book' and would
come to regret the reputation it garnered him - a mixture of
roughly equal degrees fame and infamy. Alongside his work on the
philosophy of social sciences, Winch was an interpreter and exegete
of Wittgenstein. He also published a ground-breaking study of the
philosophy of Simone Weil, entitled Simone Weil: The Just Balance.
Winch also published numerous essays on issues in ethics, political
philosophy and the philosophy of religion, and at his death was
working on a book manuscript on the problem of political authority.
Save me, oh, save me, I'm all out of dreams,
Walking through Heaven's zone on 25th Street.
Cars are the fashion parading under neon lights;
Faces through tinted glass tell their stories of life.
You stare, you frown and swear, and I smile back at you.
Billions of stars will fall before the night is through. South of
Main and Hollywood is 25th Street.
Liquid gold in glasses is always in our reach;
You can soar for days and days because the magic is good.
Feel the fire in our veins, we're the joke of the neighborhood. I
search to find a place to bury my head
Deep within my thoughts on the night edge.
Lovers sending messages through crystal eyes,
Passing the sights unknown we want to ask.
Give me another shot of that whiskey, man,
Fill up my dreamer's glass with my only friend. South of Main and
Hollywood is 25th Street.
Liquid gold in glasses is always in our reach.
You can soar for days because the magic is good.
Feel the fire in our veins; we're the joke of the neighborhood.
Originally published in 1972, this collection of essays on closely
related issues in moral philosophy looks at different aspects of
people's understanding of their own and others' actions in ethical
dimensions. The book discusses the ways in which the understanding
both of man's own nature and of the nature of the world in which he
lives, is a function of his social existence. It discusses
questions about the character of moral deliberation and decision,
the nature of the human will and its connections with action, and
the extent to which an individual's moral reasonings must claim
universal applicability.
Throughout his career, Wittgenstein was preoccupied with issues in
the philosophy of perception. Despite this, little attention has
been paid to this aspect of Wittgenstein's work. This volume
redresses this lack, by bringing together an international group of
leading philosophers to focus on the impact of Wittgenstein's work
on the philosophy of perception. The ten specially commissioned
chapters draw on the complete range of Wittgenstein's writings,
from his earliest to latest extant works, and combine both
exegetical approaches with engagements with contemporary philosophy
of mind. Topics covered include: perception and judgement in the
Tractatus aspect-perception the putative intentionality of
perception representationalism. The book also includes an overview
which summarises the evolution of Wittgenstein's views on
perception throughout his life. With an outstanding array of
contributors, Wittgenstein and Perception is essential reading for
students and scholars of Wittgenstein's work, as well as those
working in philosophy of mind and philosophy of perception.

This in-depth comparative study demonstrates that the hospital
established in China - its planning and architecture, financing,
and all aspects of day-to-day operation - differed from its
counterpart at home. These differences were never due to a single,
or even dominant cause. They were a result of a complex process
involving accommodation, appreciation, negotiation, opportunism and
pragmatism.

This in depth comparative study is one of the first books to fully
explore the emergence of modern Western-style hospitals in China.
The author disscusses how the hospital established in China -- its
planning and architecture, financing, and all aspects of day-to-day
operation -- differed from its counterpart in the West. These
differences were never due to a single or dominant cause. They were
a result of a complex process involving accommodation,
appreciation, negotiation, opportunism and pragmatism. Doctors were
trying to balance the pressures of the political, cultural,
economic and physical realities in China whilst maintaining their
own professional standards. story. It enriches the history of the
Western hospital by describing its manifestation beyond the West.
Also, being a place where ordinary Americans met ordinary Chinese
in the most intimate of circumstances, the hospital provides a
unique window into the economic, political, cultural and social
conditions of life in China at the time.

Shiprock---an 1,800-foot jagged spire of volcanic basalt rising
from the desert of northwest New Mexico and known to the Navajo as
Tse Bit Ai, or Rock With Wings. It's believed to generate a
mysterious vortex of metaphysical energy, which is why Nick Ramis,
a freelance writer, comes to investigate. Some distance away is the
town of Shiprock, and there he meets Feather Morningstar, a young
Navajo girl. It isn't long before Nick and Feather discover that
they aren't the only ones interested in the rock---during a
nighttime reconnaissance, they spot two unmarked helicopters flying
a search pattern. What are they looking for out in the desert?
Three local UFO enthusiasts tell them that the choppers are looking
for the remains of a flying saucer which has crashed. Nick and
Feather are skeptical until they uncover the entrance to a tunnel
which appears to lead underneath the rock. If there is an alien
spacecraft out there in the desert, can they find it before the
government does?
