The debut poetry collection from a talented, fresh-voiced poet,
People: Unfinished Poems is a lyrical, thought-provoking and moving
selection that observes and enjoys the beauty and strangeness of
people, exploring their connections to themselves, each other and
the places in which they live. With particular attention paid to
family, friendship, love, belonging and acceptance, the collection
is a real celebration of human individuality and connection.
Following a late diagnosis of ADHD, much of Ruth's poetry explores
and foregrounds the condition; the reader is invited into the mind
of a person beginning to understand herself properly for the first
time. Having ADHD can cause thinking to be fundamentally non-linear
- like 'a radio constantly flicking between stations: an unceasing
lifetime of noise' - and the collection aims to give the reader a
peek into such a mind: endlessly thinking and never truly at rest.
For Ruth, one result of this is intricate patterns and fragments of
poetry sprawled across endless notebooks. This collection is
beautifully presented in the poet's own handwriting, and is
decorated in much the same way as her notebooks, giving the reader
an intimate insight into some of the artistic and creative aspects
of neurodiversity, and the practical and emotional difficulties it
can cause.
This book offers a comprehensive survey of Heidegger's ideas on
technology and modernity.The scale of some environmental problems,
such as climate change and human overpopulation, exceed any one
nation state and require either co-ordinated governance or a shift
in the culture of modernity. "Heidegger, Politics and Climate
Change" examines this crisis alongside Heidegger's ideas about
technology and modernity. Heidegger suggests that refocusing on the
primary questions that make it meaningful to be human - the
question of Being - could create the means for alternative
discourses that both challenge and sidestep the attempt for total
surveillance and total control. He advocates recognising the
problematic relationship humanity has with the environment and
reinventing new trajectories of understanding ourselves and our
planet.This book aims to properly integrate environment into
philosophy and political theory, offering a constructive critique
of modernity with some helpful suggestions for establishing a
readiness for blue sky scenarios for the future. The book lays out
the practical implications of Heidegger's ideas and engages with
philosophy of technology, considering the constraints and the
potentials of technology on culture and environment.
This is a hugely important collection of essays that examines the
significance of philosophical inquiry in relation to the issue of
climate change. "Climate Change and Philosophy" presents ten
original essays by an international team of expert contributors,
exploring the important contribution philosophical inquiry can make
to contemporary debates to do with climate change and the global
environment. Examining this hugely topical issue through the lens
of environmental philosophy, political theory, philosophy of
technology, philosophy of education and feminist theory, these
essays interrogate some of the presumptions that inform modernity
and our interaction with natural processes. The book asks
fundamental questions about human nature and, more importantly, the
concept of 'nature' itself. The conceptual frameworks presented
here contribute to an understanding of the processes of change, of
social transformation, and the means of adapting to the constraints
that problems such as climate change pose. The book proposes a way
of beginning the important task of rethinking the relationship
between humanity and the natural environment. Through enquiry into
the basic philosophical principles that inform modern society, each
author asserts that reflection informs change and that change is
both required and possible in the context of the environmental
crisis facing us today. "Continuum Studies in Philosophy" presents
cutting-edge scholarship in all the major areas of research and
study. The wholly original arguments, perspectives and research
findings in titles in this series make it an important and
stimulating resource for students and academics from a range of
disciplines across the humanities and social sciences.
We are Spirit beings, human vessels with massive spiritual
capacity, intrigued by the spiritual world. A spirit has a soul and
lives in a flesh body. The spiritual realm is another dimension
which exists parallel to our physical world, where angels and
demons exist. Discerning and recognising demon spirits is extremely
important, as they take on various forms with ease, and deceive
humans. They cause havoc on planet earth; they are the enemy; not
other humans. Biblical principles enhance our insight and knowledge
making our journey on earth a pleasant one as we travel through;
shedding the earth suit eventually as a finale to live on in the
spiritual realm, being transformed. Our choices made here decide
our final destination i.e. heaven or hell, which are real and
exist, whether we believe it or not. Discover yourself and the
different aspects of your complexity, which is empowered by our
heavenly Father. "As a 'religious studies' person I am of course
deeply interested in individual stories of faith. The way in which
medical knowledge informs your reflections is interesting to me (as
a non-medic). This manuscript is an important expression of a life
dedicated to Jesus with such integrity." Eleanor Nesbitt.
