Carry Tiger to Mountain
by Stephen Legault"Stephen Legault's marvelous ability to connect the experiences of the present leaders of social causes with the wisdom of the ancients shows us all that there is a passage through the often-seeming[ly] insurmountable obstacles of the present, a way that enables all who care to be successful in their personal and professional lives."--Brock EvansThis fascinating and useful book is a modern-day interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao te Ching for social activists and leaders within various activist movements in western civil society. It's a thoughtful examination of how the Tao, and Taoist thought, might be applied to the challenges, conflicts, and obstacles that activists and concerned citizens face as they fight contemporary battles regarding such issues as poverty, workers' rights, environmentalism, freedom of expression, gender and sexual equality, and social justice. The book also includes a verse-by-verse interpretation of the Tao te Ching's 81 "chapters"; the Tao te Ching is one of the most important historical works of Chinese philosophy, and is the basis of Taoism (or Daoism).Carry Tiger to Mountain is a timely book about the role of spirituality in activism in the twenty-first century, and how we--not only activists per se, but those for whom issues of social and political justice are important--can forge new paths in their daily struggles to make the world a better place, and at the same time restore personal balance to their lives.Includes an introduction by Dr. Jim Butler, a political activist for the past 30 years who is also a Buddhist monk.

Carrying a Big Schtick: Jewish Acculturation and Masculinity in the Twentieth Century
by Miriam Eve MoraFor twentieth-century Jewish immigrants and their children attempting to gain full access to American society, performative masculinity was a tool of acculturation. However, as scholar Miriam Eve Mora demonstrates, this performance is consistently challenged by American mainstream society that holds Jewish men outside of the American ideal of masculinity. Depicted as weak, effeminate, cowardly, gentle, bookish, or conflict-averse, Jewish men have been ascribed these qualities by outside forces, but some have also intentionally subscribed themselves to masculinities at odds with the American mainstream. Carrying a Big Schtick dissects notions of Jewish masculinity and its perception and practice in America in the twentieth century through the lenses of immigration and cultural history. Tracing Jewish masculinity through major themes and events including both World Wars, the Holocaust, American Zionism, Israeli statehood, and the Six-Day War, this work establishes that the struggle of this process can shed light on the changing dynamics in religious, social, and economic American Jewish life.

Carta sobre la tolerancia
by John Locke"La tolerancia de aquellos que disienten de otros en materia de religión se aviene tanto al Evangelio y a la razón que parece monstruoso que haya hombres tan ciegos en medio de una luz tan clara." LOCKE, John, Carta sobre la tolerancia. Locke es considerado el fundador del empirismo inglés y se estima que el Ensayo sobre el entendimiento humano(1690) es su obra capital. Pero no sólo fueron absorvidos sus esfuerzos en la teoría del conocimiento. También fue crucial su influencia en la filosofía política y en la teoría de la educación. La polémica desatada por su Carta sobre la tolerancia(1689) nos remite a un entorno sacudido por las luchas políticas y religiosas que, quizás, en algún momento, desesperaron a nuestro autor. Su antídoto es claro: la separación neta y radical entre Estado e Iglesia. Al primero le corresponde el velar por el bienestar de los ciudadanos; la Iglesia, por su parte, debe dedicarse al cuidado de las almas de sus fieles. Tolerancia en materia relgiosa y delimitación estricta del origen y funciones del poder político, establecidas en Dos tratados sobre el gobierno civil(1690). Por ellos se le colocará también en la cuna del liberalismo clásico.
