Why Did That Happen? Aristotle Has Four Answers and None of Them Are Helpful is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly educational crash course in Aristotelian philosophy—specifically his theory of causality, aka why things happen according to a man who thought everything, including acorns and chairs, had a spiritual destiny. In this delightfully vicious breakdown of Aristotle’s metaphysics, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) drags you through the Four Causes—material, formal, efficient, and final—with all the reverence of a philosopher who’s had enough. Whether it’s trees yearning to be trees, tables having identity crises, or humans trying to find meaning while simultaneously sabotaging themselves, this book dissects Aristotle’s ancient framework with modern sarcasm and a side of existential dread. Inside, you’ll get: A roast of Aristotle’s greatest hits: substance, essence, and metaphysical overkill Why your coffee mug apparently has purpose and moral character How causality shows up in nature, ethics, AI, and your inability to commit A final cause that dares to ask if you have one (spoiler: Aristotle thinks you should) And a walk through the philosophical ruins of teleology, where purpose and pretension meet Perfect for philosophy students, intellectual masochists, or anyone who’s ever asked “Why did that happen?” and gotten four wildly overcomplicated answers in response. This is not your professor’s Aristotle. This is Aristotle, but make it bearableZum Buch
Emergency situations during a flight can vary in type and characteristics, including in-flight emergencies, ground emergencies, immediate emergencies, non-immediate emergencies or urgencies, among several other categories. The truth is that each aircraft may present a unique type of emergency, making it impossible to learn how to manage all possible emergencies in the aviation field. However, it is possible to learn how to manage cockpit resources to control the emergency and minimize its effects. Cockpit resource management in an emergency not only refers to the various systems of the aircraft, but also to human resources (the pilots) and external resources (air traffic control, company operations, etc.). In this work, you will learn the main theoretical concepts of emergencies in general, and how to manage the main emergencies of a small aircraft (Cessna 172), a mid-sized aircraft (Cessna 218 Grand Caravan), and a large aircraft such as the fabulous Airbus A320.Zum Buch
We are much more than our personality type. The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self is an invitation to see ourselves as more than we believe we are, to learn and engage practices that liberate us from automatic patterns. The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self is an invitation to see yourself as more than your personality type and engage in practices that liberate you from automatic patterns. Certified Narrative Enneagram teacher Sandra Smith, MDiv, has taught the Enneagram internationally as a tool for personal, professional, and spiritual development for over twenty-two years. She shows readers how to deepen their use of the Enneagram in support of their spiritual lives as well as psychological health. With clarity and consistency, this book shows how to understand your Enneagram type without reinforcing the patterns of your type. The gift of the Enneagram is its accuracy to show us the motivations beneath behaviors and egoic patterns that limit us and keep us from growing. The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self discusses the makeup of these patterns and gives us a greater capacity to unhook from them. Free from these habits, we are able to live more mindfully and grow into our full dimensionality, becoming more of ourselves. Smith provides a detailed teaching of the components of the Enneagram type structures along with type-specific practices to counter automatic patterns. Also included are contributions from a diverse range of Enneagram practitioners. With their help, Smith dives into the components of the Enneagram types to tease out the patterns and pitfalls preventing us from living our radiance. Prayers, poems, and practices beckon us out of our confining comfort zones and into witnessing and honoring our lives.Zum Buch
