The Foundations of Buddhism
Buddhism is a vast and complex religious and philosophical tradition with a history that stretches over 2,500 years, and which is now followed by around 115 million people. In this introduction to the foundations of Buddhism, Rupert Gethin concentrates on the ideas and practices which constitute the common heritage of the different traditions of Buddhism (Thervada, Tibetan, and Eastern) which exist in the world today. From the narrative of the story of the Buddha, through discussions of aspects such as textual traditions, the framework of the Four Noble Truths, the interaction between the monastic and lay ways of life, the cosmology of karma and rebirth, and the path of the bodhisattva, this books provides a stimulating introduction to Buddhism as a religion and way of life, which will also be of interest to those who are more familiar with the subject.
A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action
A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action brings together the study of the philosophy of action and Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory. Drawing on the works of Freud and Lacan, this book examines desire and the unconscious as key frameworks for understanding action. Londono-Paredes explores key premises in the philosophy of action, while demonstrating how these may fall short in light of Lacan’s ideas. The book proposes an alternative to dominant philosophical interpretations, exploring Lacan’s framework through concepts such as the graph, the act, the transgressive act, acting out, and passage a l’acte. The paradoxes of action, along with forms of action that carry moral and symbolic weight are examined from a psychoanalytic perspective, helping us to understand the interpretive boundaries of action. By intertwining philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives with clinical illustrations of real crimes, the book offers a fresh approach to action and act. A Psychoanalysis of Act and Action will be essential for psychoanalytically informed readers interested in Lacan. It will also be of interest to academics and scholars of the philosophy of mind and action, cultural studies, criminology, and mental disorders.
Křesťanství 2.0
Stále více křesťanů dnes prožívá vnitřní napětí mezi vírou, kterou si nesou z minulosti, a světem, v němž žijí. Otázky, které si kladou, nesměřují ke zpochybnění víry, ale k její potřebné obnově. Co když je Bůh jiný, než jsme si dosud představovali?
Co když jsme evangelium zúžili na něco, co vůbec nebylo jeho jádrem? Co když víra nemusí žít za obrannými valy dogmat, ale smí si přiznat své pochybnosti – a s odvahou k otevřenosti vstoupit do reality dnešního světa?
Křesťanství 2.0 není knihou pro ty, kdo spoléhají na zaběhané jistoty, ale pro ty, kdo se nebojí poctivě hledat. Pro ty, kdo tuší, že církev zítřka bude méně kolbištěm věroučných sporů, a více prostorem otevřeného dialogu – místem, kde víra nezavírá oči před složitostí světa, ale právě tam, v jeho hloubce, hledá kudy dál.
Ezra-Nehemiah
In this volume, Deborah Appler and Terry Ann Smith offer a sustained investigation and feminist critique that move beyond traditional historical and theological interpretations of Ezra-Nehemiah. Their intersectional analysis engages themes of gender, power, economics, and social justice. Tensions between group inclusion and exclusion are evident in Ezra-Nehemiah, and the authors bring attention to the complexities associated with identity formation and boundary-making for a repatriated community. Their volume amplifies often overlooked voices in the text and offers insight into how issues of faith, marginalization, and communal solidarity complicate what it means to "come home." Their collaborative analysis of Ezra-Nehemiah demonstrates how ancient and modern communities grapple with community formation and identity amidst ever-evolving social and cultural challenges.
Humour
Humour has been discovered in every known human culture and thinkers have discussed it for over two thousand years. Humour can serve many functions; it can be used to relieve stress, to promote goodwill among strangers, to dissipate tension within a fractious group, to display intelligence, and some have even claimed that it improves health and fights sickness. In this Very Short Introduction Noel Carroll examines the leading theories of humour including The Superiority Theory and The Incongruity Theory. He considers the relation of humour to emotion and cognition, and explores the value of humour, specifically in its social functions. He argues that humour, and the comic amusement that follows it, has a crucial role to play in the construction of communities, but he also demonstrates that the social aspect of humour raises questions such as ''When is humour immoral?'' and ''Is laughing at immoral humour itself immoral?''. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Ježíš a mocnosti
Měli by se křesťané politice vyhýbat, aby si uchovali svůj prorocký hlas? Nebo se naopak mají snažit prosadit křesťanské hodnoty prostřednictvím politických institucí? N. T. Wright a Michael F. Bird ukazují, že evangelium nikdy nebylo možné oddělit od konfrontace se světskou mocí a že věrnost Kristu vždy znamenala střet s impériem v jeho různých podobách.
V naší hluboce rozdělené době se i křesťané ocitají na opačných stranách politického spektra: jedni se hlásí k progresivním vizím, druzí k obraně konzervativních hodnot. Musí být evangelium opravdu spjato s jednou z těchto pozic, nebo se i uprostřed vyostřených ideologických zápasů otevírá jiná možnost, jak uvažovat o světě, moci a věrnosti Bohu?
V knize Ježíš a mocnosti (Jesus and the Powers, 2024) autoři propojují biblickou reflexi a politologický vhled s vlastní zkušeností současného světa. Nevedou k jednoduchým odpovědím, ale kladou před čtenáře výzvu: nenechat evangelium spoutat ideologií a uprostřed dnešních politických zápasů znovu objevit jeho nepohodlnou sílu.
Milý Ježiš
Od najhlbších výkrikov svojho srdca až po radostné chvály života, to všetko môžeš priniesť Ježišovi! S dôverou vstúp do Jeho prítomnosti a zisti, čo ti chce povedať o tvojich vnútorných túžbach a zápasoch. Priviň sa k tomu, ktorý ti dokonale rozumie a večne ťa miluje. Čaká, kedy sa ozveš.
Blessed Weakness
Blessed Weakness contains Dom André’s homilies on the Gospel passages for Year A of the church’s three-year liturgical cycle. These homilies reflect Dom André’s spiritual insights about the wisdom in the teachings of Christ. The title conveys a favorite theme of Dom André’s: God’s special love for humans in their weakness, manifested in Jesus’ leaving behind his glory to become one of us in weakness, living among and ministering to the poor. Contemplative reflection on these Gospel passages and on Dom André’s insights will provide a path for the reader and hearer to seek a deeper union with God.

Uprac si svoj život
Prehodnoť svoj spôsob organizovania, zbav sa neporiadku a vytvor priestor pre to, na čom najviac záleží
Dôležitá kniha pre preťažených rodičov, ako aj prepracovaných a vystresovaných profesionálov, ktorá vám pomôže žiť radostnejší a upratanejší život.
Vneste do svojho domova emocionálny aj fyzický poriadok s pomocou rád a praktických postupov na lepšie organizovanie, upratovanie a stanovenie priorít - v domácnosti aj v živote. Tyler Moore, otec troch detí so stresujúcim zamestnaním, mal pocit, že jeho život pripomína preplnenú skriňu: na prvý pohľad usporiadanú, ale za zatvorenými dverami chaotickú a praskajúcu vo švíkoch. Keď toho všetkého bolo už priveľa – na jeho byt s rozlohou 75 metrov štvorcových, aj na jeho duševné zdravie –, rozhodol sa ten fyzický a emocionálny neporiadok okolo seba odstrániť.
Každý svoj krok zdokumentoval na Instagrame a pritom si postupne uvedomil, že upratovanie je oveľa viac než len estetika a odstránenie neporiadku vo fyzickom priestore. V knihe čerpajúcej z jeho skúseností s každodennými vzostupmi a pádmi rodičovstva, riadením domácnosti, hľadaním rovnováhy medzi pracovným a súkromným životom, ktoré podáva so svojou typickou srdečnosťou a vtipom, sa okrem iného dozviete:
• ako dospieť k vlastnej definícii toho, čo je „tak akurát“,
• aké myšlienkové experimenty vám pomôžu viac si ceniť to, čo už máte.
• že cieľom nie je „vždy upratané“, ale „zľahka upratané“, a aké sú ďalšie zásady na odstránenie niektorých psychických a fyzických záťaží, ktoré môžeme pociťovať pri starostlivosti o naše domovy.
• tipy na vytvorenie harmonogramu upratovania podľa zásady „jedna plocha za týždeň“ a ďalšie jednoduché postupy, ktoré zodpovedajú rytmu vašej domácnosti a znižujú psychickú záťaž, ktorú možno nesiete.

Epictetus
The philosophy of Epictetus, a freed slave in the Roman Empire, has been profoundly influential on Western thought: it offers not only stimulating ideas but practical guidance in living one''s life. A. A. Long, a leading scholar of later ancient philosophy, gives the definitive presentation of the thought of Epictetus for a broad readership. Long''s fresh and vivid translations of a selection of the best of Epictetus'' discourses show that his ideas are as valuable and striking today as they were amost two thousand years ago. The translations are organized thematically within the framework of an authoritative introduction and commentary, which offer a way into this world for those new to it, and illuminating interpretations for those who already know it. Epictetus is known as one of the great Stoic thinkers. But he took the life and conversation of Socrates as his educational model. His Socratic allegiance, scarcely examined before, is a major theme of this ground-breaking book. Long shows how Epictetus offered his students a way of life premised on the values of personal autonomy and integrity. Never a sermonizer, Epictetus engages his students in brilliantly challenging dialogue; Long offers the first accessible study of his argumentative and rhetorical methods. This is a book for anyone interested in what we can learn from ancient philosophy about how to live our lives.

Kapitulská od minulosti po budúcnosť
Kniha obsahujúca viac ako tridsať príspevkov ? vedeckých štúdií a niekoľkých krátkych, ale dôležitých spomienok, je výsledkom plodnej spolupráce cirkevných a civilných inštitúcií. Očami bádateľov z rôznych odborov v historickom priereze mapuje všetky oblasti a témy týkajúce sa Kapitulskej ulice ako dejiska udalostí tvoriacich podstatnú časť dejín Bratislavy v ich slovenskom a európskom kontexte.
Značná pozornosť sa sústreďuje na samotnú kapitulu, na jej vplyv na vzdelanie, na výtvarné umenie a hudbu, na priestor, ktorý poskytovala na rozvíjanie talentov osobností, ktoré tu pôsobili. Nie menej zaujímavé sú pohľady dnešných pamiatkarov na otázky, ako sa dnes pozerať na jednotlivé historické budovy i na to, čo ešte chýba Kapitulskej ulici, aby sa stala príťažlivejšou pre návštevníkov.
Ak ambíciou iniciátorov diela bolo podať čo najúplnejší obraz o najstaršej ulici Bratislavy, je evidentné, že sa to podarilo na vysokej odbornej úrovni a v reprezentatívnom prevedení. A to aj s poukazom na odkaz, na ktorý nadväzujeme a máme ho zveľadený odovzdať ďalej.
Zostavovateľ ThDr. Peter Slepčan (1971) je kňazom Bratislavskej arcidiecézy a odborným asistentom na Katedre kresťanskej filozofie a historických vied Rímskokatolíckej cyrilometodskej bohosloveckej fakulty UK v Bratislave. Venuje sa starokresťanskej literatúre (patrológia), kresťanskej archeológii a ako postulátor procesu blahorečenia biskupa Michala Buzalku (1885 – 1961) vybraným témam cirkevných dejín 20. storočia. V roku 2015 sa stal farárom farnosti Bratislava – sv. Martina.
A Tale Unasked
A new translation of one of classical Japan's greatest literary works
'It is from a desire not to let this impulse count for nothing that I have written this foolish tale of mine. I have no hope that it will remain for future generations to remember me by'
Japanese noblewoman Lady Nijo was made the Emperor's concubine aged fourteen and then, after several illicit affairs, was expelled from the palace, becoming a nun and travelling the country in pilgrimage. A Tale Unasked is her extraordinary memoir of her eventful life, lost for centuries and discovered in the Imperial Library. Filled with startling revelations of the secret intrigues, splendour and sexual politics of courtly life, it is also a moving portrait of a woman of rich intelligence and sensitivity trying to survive in a difficult world. This new translation beautifully renders the sinuous elegance of a remarkable work of classical Japanese literature.

Atlas of Borders
Through 70 stunning infographics and maps, this exciting and timely book looks at the borders that define our current world.
There are borders that are easily crossed and borders that are entirely impassable; there are visible borders - sometimes demarcated by fences, walls, flags and posts - and invisible borders - not seen on a physical map and oftentimes restrictive of access to targeted populations; there are land borders, maritime, political and cultural borders…
Presenting 70 case studies through maps and infographics, two experts in geopolitics reflect on the modern world through the lens of border lines helping the reader make sense of a complex world. Atlas of Borders addresses the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the repercussions of Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the migration of peoples around the globe. Featuring up-to-date maps, the book also covers the aquatic borders of the Svalbard Islands, the borders of the eastern Mediterranean and the Blue Line dividing Lebanon and Israel.
In a confusing and at times chaotic world that seemingly defies interpretation, this atlas sheds light on larger issues behind the lines that separate or connect us.

The Revolutionists
In the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang. United by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and 'Western imperialism', they unleashed a series of audacious attacks that brought governments to their knees and glued the world to their tv screens.
Drawing on decades of research, recently declassified government files, secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. Through the perpetrators' eyes - and of the unrelenting agents who hunted them down - he uncovers a dark, complex world of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to change at any cost.
Pitching us into these tumultuous times, The Revolutionists reveals how a campaign led by secular leftist revolutionaries gave way to a far more lethal movement of conservative religious fanaticism that would dominate the decades to come. It is impossible to understand the world today without reading this book.
Adolescent Health and Well-Being
This important book explores adolescent health and well-being through an ecological and developmental lens, drawing on international comparative studies and data sources to provide valuable contextual insights. Recognising that children and adolescents are not a homogenous group, this book highlights the importance of age distinctions in shaping health needs, risks, and protective behaviours. Adolescent development, the epidemiology and social determinants of adolescent health, health literacy and health promotion are foundational themes woven throughout the chapters. It explores how gender influences both health behaviors and outcomes, emphasising the need for a nuanced understanding of adolescent well-being. By presenting data comparisons across time and socio-demographic groups, this book sheds light on disparities related to gender, ethnicity (including Black and minority ethnic and Indigenous populations), age, geography, and socioeconomic status, offering valuable insights into the diverse factors that shape adolescent health. This textbook is intended for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, advocates, youth workers, adolescents and their parents and carers.
