Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could it be that we have lost touch with some basic human realities in our day of high-tech efficiency, frenetic competition, and ceaseless consumption? Have we turned from the moral, the spiritual, and even the physical realities that make our lives meaningful? These are metaphysical questions--questions about the nature of reality--but they are not abstract questions. These are very down to earth questions that concern power and the collective frameworks of belief and action governing our daily lives. This book is an introduction to the history, theory, and application of Christian metaphysics. Yet this book is not just an introduction, it is also a passionately argued call for a profound change in the contemporary Christian mind. Paul Tyson argues that as Western culture's Christian Platonist understanding of reality was replaced by modern pragmatic realism, we turned not just from one outlook on reality to another, but away from reality itself. This book seeks to show that if we can recover this ancient Christian outlook on reality, reframed for our day, then we will be able to recover a way of life that is in harmony with human and divine truth.

Book excerpt: What is time? What is space? What is matter? What is life? What is consciousness? These fundamental questions may seem distinct, even unrelated. However, take a closer look, and you will find that there is an essential unity to Nature. As surprising as it may be, the same patterns are found everywhere. For instance, the lengths of words vary like the lengths of genes; the strengths of earthquakes vary like those of the impulses in the brain. Innovations spread like epidemics. Mollusk shells, flower heads, cyclones, and galaxies spiral in a similar way. Galileo long ago recognized the universality of these patterns, but the reason for them has remained a mystery until now. This Grand Regularity is explained by the fact that everything that exists is made up of the same primary constituents, quanta of light. Through this insight, we find answers to many foundational questions concerning anything from elementary particles to the expanding universe and from the evolution of biotas to the ascent of cultures. This profound view also sheds light on the fate of humankind. Can we question our beliefs? Can we discern the whole? Are we once again heading toward a new worldview? The author Arto Annila, former professor of biophysics at the University of Helsinki, provides plenty of food for thought with scientific realism, spiced up with personal experiences about the reality of science.

Download or read book Back to Life, Back to Reality written by Steven Desantis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an information-based literature that unwinds what we were taught to deem healthy. The medical system has displayed many untruths to society, which has only made us more sick and reliant on medicinal drugs to combat our issues. This book unravels many dogmatic systems that have been placed in society for the main reason of making more money for the pharmaceutical industry working against us, not for us. This book was written because one man (Steven) refused to allow these so-called truths to go unnoticed. The book is intended to provide a platform for people to stand on and believe in the power of nature and not a manufacturing system.
