The treatment was time consuming and required considerable effort to reach dimly re...

God, the center and focus of religious faith, a holy
C Islam Islam arose as a powerful reaction against the ancient pagan cults of Arabia, and as a consequence it is the most starkly monotheistic of the three biblically rootedreligions.

The primary creed is that “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the apostle of Allah.” Allah has seven basic attributes: life, knowledge, power, will, hearing, se...

Lamia
reason would tell him that it is not safe enough to depend only on a career as a poet. He saw in himself the ability and didn't let count anything else what could speak against the life of poet. This alike attitude is seen in Lycius when he listens to Lamia not to invite Appolonius to the marriage, even though he had learned everything by Appolonius, had always listen to his advices and obeyed his words. It is as if Keats saw himself turning away from his reason, shutting it out from his dream-l...

His symbolic narratives in Persian are in some sense arecord of these, although in them al-Suhrawardi, the author, is never explicitly the first person. The narratives havea pedagogic function, and are guides to the kind of experiences to be encountered by the seeker and to theirinterpretation; indeed a central figur...

Western Philosophy.
the popular belief in personal deities, but he failed to explain the way in which the familiar objects of experience could develop out of elements that are totally differentfrom them. Anaxagoras therefore suggested that all things are composed of very small particles, or “seeds,” which exist in infinite variety. To explain the way in whichthese particles combine to form the objects that constitute the familiar world, Anaxagoras developed a theory of cosmic evolution. He maintained that the activ...

Religion.
By the end of the 19th century, scholars were making religion an object of systematic inquiry. Müller’s comparative approach was adopted in many European andJapanese universities, and as a result the common features of world religions (such as gods, prayer, priesthood, and creation myths) were the subjects of sustainedscholarly investigation. In addition, field anthropologists had begun to compile firsthand accounts of the religions of peoples who previously had been dismissed assavages. The stu...

The hypocrisy of others: What is hypocrisy in general? A hypocrite is a man who intentionally appears to be what he is not in reality. What does it mean for a virtuous man to be a hypocrite? It means that the love that this man is supposed to have for the beautiful and the good isn’t the sole or prime motive of his “virtuous” actions. The virtue of most men is the result of their fear or cowardice. It is not truly virtue. Are fear and cowardice motives able to make a man virtuous? No....

Natural population growth also hastened the transition from an African to an African American slave population. By the 1770s, only about 20 percent of slaves in thecolonies were African-born, although the concentration of Africans remained higher in South Carolina and Georgia. After 1808 the proportion of African-born slavesbecame tin...
