[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- DAILYSTOIC.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Mawlana Sultan Muhammad Shah's "Philosophy of Happiness:" "Learn to desire the thing that happens, and not try to mould events to their desires."] ARTICLE: Two thousand years ago the Stoic, Epictetus, who as a crippled slave has faced adversity after adversity, echoed the same: "Do not seek for things to happen the way you want them to; rather, wish that what happens happen the way it happens: then you will be happy."

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) Richard Feynman's Love Letter to His Wife Sixteen Months After Her Death
FS.BLOG -- A beautiful, heartbreaking letter Feynman wrote to his deceased wife, who died of tuberculosis at a young age. This one hurts. Richard and Arline were soul mates. They were not clones of each other, but symbiotic opposites -- each completed the other. Arline admired Richard's obvious scientific brilliance, and Richard clearly adored the fact that she loved and understood things he could barely appreciate at the time. But what they shared, most of all, was a love of life and a spirit of adventure. ...

Part 2: Cosmopolitan Ethics vs. Pluralism: Have the two been fundamentally misunderstood? Why are there limits to pluralism? | Ignition Question #4b
In Part 1, of this two-part Ignition Question, we suggested that although cosmopolitan ethics may sound very scholarly, arcane or enigmatic it might not be so we proposed a more practical and comprehensible perspective of cosmopolitan ethics based on Hazar Imam's clear explanations about them. Here, in Part 2, again relying on Hazar Imam's extensive remarks, we reconsider the relationship between cosmopolitan ethics and pluralism, suggesting the two have been conflated leading to a fundamental misunderstanding of pluralism, which Hazar Imam has also said is "sometimes misunderstood." We then consider how pluralism degenerates into license, or unfettered individual freedom, because of this misunderstanding.

Miracles: A Preliminary Study by C.S. Lewis
[H/T MOHIB EBRAHIM] -- YOUTUBE.COM -- CSLEWISDOODLE -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: C.S. Lews' points about miracles are correct and why Ismaili Ignition produced "Ismaili Imamat's Authenticity: The First Objective Evaluation, 'A Signature in History'." See here: http://isma.li/signature] ARTICLE: Whether miracles occur can never be answered by experience. Every potential miracle is, in the last resort, something our senses experience. And our senses are not infallible so we can always say it was an illusion. If our worldview, a priori, excludes the supernatural, "illusion" is what we always say. So what we learn from experience first depends on the philosophy we bring to experience. It is, therefore, useless to appeal to experience before we have settled the philosophical question. If experience cannot prove or disprove miracles, still less can history because, again, the philosophical question must come first. Here is an example of what happens if we skip the preliminary philosophical task and rush on to the historical. In a popular commentary ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
