Produktbeschreibung
Cull: Epitomes offers its reader, in a single volume, the essence of seventy-seven core philosophical and religious works. Each presents a thinker without knowledge of which one can scarcely begin to mull ethical and political questions. These vignettes span religious thought from pious wondering in the Indus valley to Buber's slippery mysticism. They measure politics from the olive groves of Athens to Harvard's intellectual ferment. These epitomes examine morality from the sacral smokes of the Sinai desert to E. O. Wilson's eusocial ants. These little works capture the texture, if not the entire fabric, of some of history's finest minds, and some painfully coarse ones as well. If time were abundant, you might read the originals yourself. Time, for most of us, is anything but abundant.
Autorenporträt
Brad Lancaster writes mornings before he works as an attorney in his solo practice in north Seattle. At Lancaster Law Office, with his spouse and paralegal, Kim, and their miniature pinscher, Sofie, Brad helps families plan end of life matters and wind up decedent's affairs, builds elder care teams for clients' ailing family members, and negotiates with spouses outside the court system to end their marriages in a manner that preserves friendship and shelters children. Brad convenes the Witless Protection Program, an adult philosophical conversation about members' shared lives and human morality. Brad also organizes Socratic Circles for middle-school students to teach civil dialogue, and occasionally teaches reading to small groups of elementary school children. Brad also participates in Rain City Rotary, doing service projects that stretch his withered soul.
