Death by Choice versus Religious Dogma
ISBN: 9781467983686 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By CreateSpace: As we move into the twenty-first century, the dynamics of the debate on euthanasia and assisted suicide have shifted from the "power and influence" to the "power and control." The religious industry is determined to dictate to everyone to live and die according to their dogmas and it is in everyone's best interest that we do not allow human rights and freedom of choice to be trampled on by pontificators. As such, this is a call to action by the silent majority against the vocal religious ultra-conservative minority that is dictating its non-secular ideology on everyone else....

Through a cultural analysis of the symbols of death - flesh, blood, bones, souls, time numbers, food and money - Chinese Death Rituals in Singapore throws light upon the Chinese perception of death and how they cope with its eventuality. In the seeming mass of religious rituals and beliefs, it suggests that there is an underlying logic to the rituals. This in turn leads Kiong to examine the interrelationship between death and the socioeconomic value system of China as a whole.

ISBN: 9781107696310 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We tend to think of death as a basic and immutable fact of life.

Kształtowanie losu i zycie po śmierci
ISBN: 9788386132898 / Polski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Musimy sobie uzmysłowić, że ludzi, którzy żyją nadal w świecie duchowym, nie powinniśmy sobie wyobrażać takimi, jakimi byli tutaj pod koniec życia. Trywialne wyobrażenie, jakie ludzie sobie tworzą, że na przykład ci, którzy umierają jako dzieci, po tamtej stronie również żyją jako dzieci, jest oczywiście fałszywe. Postać, jaką zmarli mieli przed śmiercią, może się tak obrazowo ukazać w imaginacji; nie jest to jednak postać, lecz wrażenie. Umrzeć może dziecko, ale istota ludzka, która była wcielona w dziecku, może być bardzo rozwiniętą duszą i żyć...

Ritualizing the Disposal of the Deceased: From Corpse to Concept
ISBN: 9781433107924 / Angielski / Twarda / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ritualizing the Disposal of the Deceased traces mortuary behavior from the early fossil record to modern religious contexts in diverse cultural settings. By using archival and ethnographic evidence from Buddhist traditions, the author highlights the disparity between doctrines that contradict actual practices performed by Buddhists themselves. By appealing to the evolved cognitive architecture of human minds, this book argues that ritualized disposal behavior is the by-product of mental systems designed to handle living people. Due to complex social intelligence, humans are compelled...

Muslims Ritualising Death in the Netherlands: Death Rites in a Small Town Context
ISBN: 9783643903518 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study on the common practice of Islamic death rites in the Netherlands affords valuable insights in the lived religion of Muslims. Particularly in a small town context marked by migration and diversity, Muslims are challenged to re-imagine and re-invent their ritual repertoire. This results in dynamic ritual practices that are the product of vibrant negotiation processes in which rites interact with ritual actors and their (changing) contexts. The emerging ritual repertoire and their dynamics are widely overlooked in an institutionalized and traditional religion like Islam. (Series:...

ISBN: 9781481901758 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What do all human beings have in common? Despite the self-help books about sex, money, power, happiness, weight, and relationships, there is one thing we all face that none of that guidance can prevent . . . death. What if we weren't so afraid of death, or of even talking about it? The fear of death - even when it's below our conscious awareness - underlies all fears. But, as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler remind us in Life Lessons . . . "Fear doesn't stop death; it stops life." What this book suggests is that exploring our fears about death - talking about it, learning about it -...
