Until very recently, no society had seen marriage as anything other than a conjugal partnership: a male-female union. What Is Marriage? identifies and defends the reasons for this historic consensus and shows why redefining civil marriage as something other than the conjugal union of husband and wife is a mistake. Originally published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, this book’s core argument quickly became the year’s most widely read essay on the most prominent scholarly network in the social sciences.

هل الإنسانُ حيوانٌ مسيَّر تحركه غرائزه ولا يملك إرادة التصرُّف خلافًا لجيناته وبيئته؟ هل كانت العشوائية وراء نشاة الإنسان بالتطوّر الدارويني؟ ما حقيقة عقل الإنسان الذي جعله يسود الكوكب على الرَّغم من أنَّ الكائنات التي تفوقه حجمًا وشراسة قد انقرضت؟.

هذا الكتاب يعتبر صغيراً في الحجم إلا أنه كان وافياً ليغطي إجابات كافة الأسئلة المحورية التي يطرحها الكاتب عبد اللطيف الصديقي. ومن أبرز هذه الأسئلة التي يتطرق إليها في الكتاب هي: هل كان الدين مسألة أساسية ومهمة في فكر آينشتاين الفيزيائي الكبير؟ وهل كان آينشتاين متديناً بالمعنى الشائع لهذه الكلمة؟ بمعنى: هل كان ممارساّ للطقوس الدينية؟. وفي إجابة عن السؤال الأول قدم الصديقي العديد من المعطيات التي تظهر أن آينشتاين كانت له خلفية دينية عميقة، ولكن بالمعنى ال.

Let There Be Light presents a simple, beautiful, and elegant view of the oneness of all life, subjective and objective. It demonstrates the unity of the physical world with conscious experience of the physical world.

Why do I act the way I do? How can I think one thing, and do another? I know better! Why do I feel like a different person some days, on top of the world sometimes, and horrible at other times? There are answers to all of these questions. Anderson Silver has compiled teachings from stoicism and other schools of thought in Your Duality Within to help you navigate through them. A follow-up to the very successful Your User’s Manual, Your Duality Within is the second book in a three-book series tackling the most basic questions of our humanity.

Death might seem to render pointless all our attempts to create a meaningful life. Doesn't meaning require transcending death through an afterlife or in some other way?
