Okakura exhibits the distinctive \"personality\" of the East through the philosophy of Teaism and the ancient Japanese tea ceremony. This ceremony is particularly revelatory of a conservative strain in Japanese culture; its ideals of aesthetic tranquility and submission to the ways of the past find no parallel in the major cultural motifs of the West.\u003cbr\u003eNot only does he discuss the tea ceremony and its rigid formalities, and the cult and patterns of belief surrounding tea and tea-drinking, but Okakura also considers religious influences, origins, and history, and goes into the importance of flowers and floral arrangements in Japanese life — their proper appreciation and cultivation, great tea-masters of the past, the tea-room with its air of serenity and purity, and the aesthetic and quasi-religious values pervading all these activities and attitudes.\u003cbr\u003eOkakura's English style was graceful, yet exceptionally clear and precise, and this book is one of the most delightful essay-volumes to the English language. It has introduced hundreds of thousands of American readers to Japanese thinking and traditions. This new, corrected edition, complete with an illuminating preliminary essay on Okakura's life and work, will provide an engrossing account for anyone interested in the current and central themes of Oriental life.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eUnabridged, corrected reprint.\u003c\/div\u003e tea ceremony;eastern cultures;asian culture;japanese people;tokugawa japan;western tradition;japanese scholar;intercultural communication;tea history;tea culture;eastern thinking;chinese dynasties;sung dynasty;tea drinkers;butterfly floating;passing fair;tea masters;asian philosophy;japanese aesthetics;tea lovers;zen monastery;tea houses;asian art;zen philosophy;stagnant water;flower arranging;japanese tea;japanese perspective;western view;southern china;boston museum;universal language;western cultures;art appreciation;tea drinking;japanese life;green tea;ming dynasty;japanese art;east asian;drink tea;eastern philosophy;true spirit;cultural significance;western philosophy;interior design;fine arts;traditional japanese;true beauty;public domain;project gutenberg;rich history;western world;japanese culture;premodern;tea-room;soshi;taoists;dews;bamboos;teaism;sunbeams;teardrops;tea-drinking;evanescence;shambhala;esthetic;brocade;bushido;tearoom;confucius;powdered;customs;taoism;beverage;fishes;kettle;refinement;tang;oriental;asia;1906;westerners;purity;buddhism;harmony;architecture;simplicity;modern japanese history;american cultural history;middle eastern culture;america","brand":"Kakuzo Okakura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159277945153,"sku":"9780486200705","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486200705.jpg?v=1710206447"},{"product_id":"9780486449210","title":"The Jefferson Bible","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\"Question with boldness even the existence of a god,\" Thomas Jefferson asserted, \"because if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.\" America's third president regarded Jesus as a moral guide rather than a divinity, and in \u003ci\u003eThe Jefferson Bible,\u003c\/i\u003e he highlights Christ's ethical teachings from the Gospels.

He selected verses from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and arranged them in chronological order to form a single narrative. Although Jefferson shared his interpretation with friends and family, he declined to publish it, in keeping with his conviction that religion is a private matter — and also to avoid providing his political enemies with ammunition.

His speculations, especially about the nature of time, had a profound influence on many other philosophers, as well as on poets and novelists; they are said to have been the seed for \u003ci\u003eÀ la recherce de temps perdu\u003c\/i\u003e by Marcel Proust (whose cousin was Bergson's wife). Though his ideas were sometimes difficult to follow, Bergson was also a fine stylist, who once declared, \"there is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language,\" and who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eTime and Free Will,\u003c\/i\u003e written as his doctoral thesis, Bergson tries to dispel the arguments against free will. These arguments, he shows, come from a confusion of different ideas of time. Physicists and mathematicians conceive of time as a measurable construct much like the spatial dimensions. But in human experience, life is perceived as a continuous and unmeasurable flow rather than as a succession of marked-off states of consciousness — something that can be measured not quantitatively, but only qualitatively. And because human personalities express themselves in acts that cannot be predicted, Bergson declares free will to be an observable fact. Students and teachers of philosophy are sure to welcome this inexpensive reprint of Bergson's classic, influential essay, long a staple of college philosophy courses.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of the George Allen \u0026amp; Company, Ltd., London, 1913 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henri Bergson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160128241985,"sku":"9780486417677","price":7.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486417677_0a041d2b-5819-423e-99b8-2ba231a597c9.jpg?v=1710193157"},{"product_id":"9780486421063","title":"Bible Quotations Crossword Puzzles","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eHow well do you know your Bible?

The \u003ci\u003eCritique of Judgment\u003c\/i\u003e informs the very basis of modern aesthetics by establishing the almost universally accepted framework for debate of aesthetic issues.\u003cbr\u003eAs in his previous critiques, Kant seeks to establish \u003ci\u003ea priori \u003c\/i\u003eprinciples. The first part of this work addresses aesthetic sensibility. The human response to specific natural phenomena as beautiful, he asserts, is a recognition of nature's harmonious order that corresponds to a mental need for order. The critique's second half focuses on the apparent teleology in nature's design of organisms. The philosopher declares that the mind is predisposed to find purpose and order in nature, and this predisposition forms the main principle underlying all our judgments. Although this could be interpreted as an argument in favor of a creator, Kant insists that a supernatural dimension or the existence of God cannot be proven — such considerations lie beyond the realm of reason, solely within the province of faith.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eRepublication of the London, 1914 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Immanuel Kant.

Hegel defines universal right as the synthesis between the thesis of an individual acting in accordance with the law and the occasional conflict of an antithetical desire to follow private convictions. The state, he declares, must permit individuals to satisfy both demands, thereby realizing social harmony and prosperity--the perfect synthesis.
