From Wisdom to Mystery Through Love: Philosophy As Spiritual Itinerary to the Absolute (Studies in Spirituality Supplements, 35)
Book information
Description
The diverse chapters of this programmatic book, originally penned as essays, are pathways within the same itinerary of presenting a fundamental model of understanding Philosophy: Philosophy is Spirituality. This itinerary is not only defined by its goal, which is the Absolute (the all-encompassing term to designate the Supreme Being or what confessionally is designated as God or Lord), but by the path of mediation or experience. Parting from the Basic Coordinates of the Question or the Status Quaestionis, Philosophy is redefined in view of its Metaphysical Vocation which aims for man to have communion with the Transcendental Reality, in its Supreme Instance (the Absolute), which has its roots in contemplation, which is the true metaphysical attitude in face of the ontological reduction of all reality to thought which is being in the human knowing faculty. From Metaphysics to path opens us up as Mystagogy or initiation, accompaniment into the Mystery which is the Presence of the Transcendent in the Immanence of Human History. The effectivity of this Presence is what is understood to be the Mystical, which is not to be reduced to its external phenomena. Only in Mystagogy can the Metaphysical Project of Communion of Philosophy be realized as a Spirituality, as a historical itinerary within human immanence, toward the Transcendental Reality of the Absolute. Given the programmatic nature of this work, the chapters are only introductions to the dynamics of discovering Philosophy as Spirituality and thus are bereft of the aim of presenting an exhaustive treatise. Written within a primarily Christian tradition, this opus is a dialogue and seeks to further widen the horizons of dialogue with its succinct and yet profoundly reflective exposition and presentation of viewpoints.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
