![]() ![]() Neo-Aristotelian Metaphysics and the Theology of Nature will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in metaphysics, philosophy of science, natural theology, philosophical theology, and analytic theology. By pushing the current boundaries of neo-Aristotelian metaphysics to recover the traditional notion of substantial forms in physics, reframe the principle of proportionality in biology, and restore the hierarchy of being familiar to ancient philosophy, this book advances a metaphysically unified framework that accommodates both scientific and theological knowledge, enriching the interaction between science, philosophy and theology. ![]() The chapters in this volume are collected into three thematic sections: Naturalism and Nature, Mind and Nature, and God and Nature. However, integrating this Aristotelian view with modern science faces the problem of the inorganic world. ![]() It features original contributions by some of the best scholars engaging with Aristotelianism in contemporary metaphysics, philosophy of science, and philosophical theology.ĭespite the growing interest in Aristotelian approaches to contemporary philosophy of science, few metaphysicians have engaged directly with the question of how a neo-Aristotelian metaphysics of nature might change the landscape for theological discussion concerning theology and naturalism, the place of human beings within nature, or the problem of divine causality. Aristotle’s metaphysics clearly assigns the status of fundamental to living organisms, despite their intermediate size. ![]() This book explores the relationship between a scientifically updated Aristotelian philosophy of nature and a scientifically engaged theology of nature. ![]()

And blood, a slick, still wet pool on the crisp white sheets. She quietly slides out of bed, careful not to aggravate her already pounding head, and looks at the man she spent the night with. When she awakes in a Dubai hotel room, she tries to piece the previous night back together, counting the minutes until she has to catch her crew shuttle to the airport. She lives with them, and the accompanying self-loathing. She's a binge drinker, her job with the airline making it easy to find adventure, and the occasional blackouts seem to be inevitable.

The success of a full season would depend very much on the success and organisational ability of the ganger. The team would consist of eight or nine men, often young single males or older drifters, travelling by truck from cane farm to cane farm, cutting the harvest by hand at piece-work rates or for an agreed sum for the overall crop. A team of itinerant cane-cutters would come together at the beginning of the season, usually assembled by a recognised leader known as a ganger, on the understanding that the team would stay together for the seven-month season. Indeed, so much has changed in terms of social attitudes and working practices since Summer of the Seventeenth Doll was written in 1953, that I thought it might be interesting to take a backward glance. ‘The world of itinerant cane-cutters in Australia is now a thing of the past – together with the sort of hotel that catered for male drinkers only in the public bars, and relegated female customers to the side entrance marked ‘Ladies’ Parlour’.

This is not an impulse that we should encourage in ourselves. It is so easy to take delight in anger, to want to see someone suffer not just in the same amount he or she brought suffering to us, but forever and in a way that does not abate when we see his or her suffering come to pass. There is a part of me that wants to punish anyone I perceive to have wronged me without a thought for proportion. This is part of why I myself am often anxious about experiencing anger-there is a part of me that does not simply want to see justice done or boundaries honored. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These longer series are also noted at the bottom of the page.

Whether or not she could, the bean paste she made was of the highest quality. She turned up early and helped Sentaro make bean paste, asking for his help to carry heavy objects. He did not even want to work at the dorayaki shop he was paying off a debt to someone who helped him when he was in need. ![]() Indeed, Sentaro was never good at making sweet bean paste. Sentaro changed his mind when he tasted a sample of sweet bean paste given to him by Tokue, which was much better than the paste he bought from a wholesaler to put inside his dorayaki. ![]() Given her age and the state of her hands-indeed, her hands were malformed-Sentaro was not eager to bring on the old woman, Tokue, despite her willing to work at a lower salary than was advertised. Over time, Sentaro engages with this woman, finding out that she was a confectioner capable of making sweet bean paste. The book starts by setting the scene, where Sentaro, a man who makes dorayaki, a sweet pancake made with sweet bean paste, sees an old woman staring at the shop where he works, Doraharu. Written by Durian Sukegawa, Sweet Bean Paste is a book I struggled to put down, filled with twists and moments that made me ponder isolation, being a member of society, and pursuing an interest despite the challenges ahead. ![]() |
