  • Words to Folk Mountain Gospel Cds and Dvds
    Words to Folk Mountain Gospel CDs and DVDs Mohl Family CD 1992 Pure In Heart Don & Donna Mohl David had a sling for a toy, Joseph was a shepherd’s boy, Daniel and his 3 best friends, had to go to Babylon. They were faithful when they were young, When they grew up, they still stood strong. Jesus looks for boys like that today. Esther was a beauty, Queen, to have a child was Hannah’s dream, Mary had a big surprise, when an angel stood by her side. They were faithful when they were young, When they grew up, they still stood strong. Jesus looks for girls like that today. Chorus: The eyes of God, look to and fro, you know the Bible tells us so, To see if anyone will live for Him. In days of old and still today, He will help us live His way, The pure in heart will see Him face to face. You may be a carpenter, you may go and preach the word, If you’re sent across the sea, you can help someone to see. Close to home or far away, you show the world a better way, Jesus looks for those like that today. Chorus Jesus looks for those like that today. Unclouded Day Josiah K. Alwood Oh they tell me of a home far beyond the sky, Oh they tell me of a home far away. Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise, Oh they tell me of an unclouded day. Chorus: Oh the land of cloudless day, oh the land of an unclouded sky.

  • 1909 Duchumanity Nanjing
    THE CITY OF GOD Maurizio Ferraris As Augustine taught us, investigating the philosophy of history means asking ourselves: is humankind going in the right direction? For Augustine the answer was yes, as it later would be for Kant, Hegel and Marx, but for quite some time now, under the influence of Nietzsche, Spengler and Heidegger, even formally progressive thinkers have become convinced of the contrary. The direction taken by humankind is wrong, they say: it is absolutely necessary to get off this train before it's too late and we end up in an economic, ecological and social catastrophe. I have nothing against this vision, in principle, as long as it is proven to be true. However, I am not so sure it is. If it were, then humankind would be behaving in a totally inconsistent manner, creating the conditions for its own destruction and indulging in its inclination towards imbecility. However, there are good reasons to think that the real imbeciles (or scoundrels, because this is also possible, indeed probable) are the catastrophists. This is already a good thing. An even better thing would be if, in addition to noting the errors of this negative philosophy of history, we built a positive philosophy of history. That is what I intend to do. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer The test of any philosophy of history is a version of falsificationism, and sounds like this: is it true that we are going from bad to worse? It is important to note that we're talking about "from bad to worse", as "from good to better" is all too easy to refute: it only takes a rheumatic pain afflicting the philosopher of history in question for them to paint a rather bleak picture.

The commitment and support of my supervisors, Maarit Piipponen and Markku Salmela, made the completion of this work a reality. Maarit’s critical insight and ability to identify discontinuities in my writing have continuously forced me to challenge my thinking, while Markku’s constant support and encouragement have made all the difference during times of self-doubt. I cannot thank you both enough. I also wish to thank Päivi Pahta, Pekka Tammi, Nigel Mapp, Matti Hyvärinen, Arja Rosenholm, and everyone else at the University of Tampere who has (knowingly or unknowingly) contributed to the completion of this study during its various stages.
