Sneak a peek into James Carter's brain in this brilliant collection of poems. Join the party as he takes us on a trip to space, introduces us tigers, mammoths, clouds and bugs and that’s just the start of the journey . . .
In Ricoeur on Moral Religion, James Carter argues that Paul Ricoeur's later philosophical writings provide a highly instructive interpretive key with which to assess his philosophical project as a whole. This first systematic study of the 'later Ricoeur' offers a critical yet sympathetic reconstruction of Ricoeur's hermeneutics of ethical life, which demonstrates his significant contribution to contemporary philosophy of religion and moral philosophy. What
emerges is a clear and distinctive moral religion that binds humans together universally on the basis of the life they share as capable beings. Carter also uncovers a hitherto unforeseen thread in Ricoeur's writings concerning ethical life, pulled through his own readings of Spinoza, Aristotle, and Kant.
Ricoeur's hermeneutics is structured by a Kantian architectonic informed at different levels by these three philosophers, who ground a rich, holistic, and ultimately rationalist account of ethical life and religion that resists the trappings of both positivism and postmodernism.
The Buddhist monk Tanxu surmounted extraordinary obstacles--poverty, wars, famine, and foreign occupation--to become one of the most prominent monks in China, founding numerous temples and schools, and attracting crowds of students and disciples wherever he went. Now, in Heart of Buddha, Heart of China, James Carter draws on untapped archival materials to provide a book that is part travelogue, part history, and part biography of this remarkable man.
This revealing biography shows a Chinese man, neither an intellectual nor a peasant, trying to reconcile his desire for a bold and activist Chinese nationalism with his own belief in China's cultural and social traditions, especially Buddhism. As it follows Tanxu's extraordinary life, the book also illuminates the pivotal events in China's modern history, showing how one individual experienced the fall of China's last empire, its descent into occupation and civil war, and its eventual birth as modern nation. Indeed, Tanxu lived in a time of almost constant warfare--from the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, to the Boxer Uprising, the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese occupation, and World War II. He and his followers were robbed by river pirates, and waylaid by bandits on the road. Caught in the struggle between nationalist and communist forces, Tanxu finally sought refuge in the British colony of Hong Kong. At the time of his death, at the age of 89, he was revered as "Master Tanxu," one of Hong Kong's leading religious figures.
Capturing all this in a magnificent portrait, Carter gives first-person immediacy to one of the most turbulent periods in Chinese history.
Spooky Poems is a collection of scary poems about ghosts, ghouls, bats, witches, vampires and all things creepy - by bestselling children's poets Brian Moses and James Carter.
A Good Scary Poem Needs . . .
A haunted house,
a pattering mouse.
A spooky feeling,
a spider-webbed ceiling.
A squeaking door,
a creaking floor.
A swooping bat,
the eyes of a cat.
A dreadful dream,
a distant scream.
A ghost that goes 'BOO'
and You!

Un faux comte russe, mais authentique merlan. Une vieille milliardaire turco-américaine, si moche qu'elle devrait pleurer, au lieu de rire de se voir si belle en ce miroir ! Un sportif, fatigué de courir après des médailles d'or, qui fait de l'or en lingots dans les alcôves de celles qui ont les moyens de s'offrir cet étalon. Une autre richissime Yankee, qu'on plaque comme une souillon de milk-bar. Une secrétaire dévouée... à sa propre cause, mais qui cache bien son jeu. Une jeune bien-sous-tous-rapports, enfin, qui se pomponne en coulisses pour la grande scène du trois ! Les personnages sont en place et... viva la commedia ! Mais la réalité mélange tous les genres et une farce peut, sans préavis, virer à la tragédie...
Le hasard,- sinon la diabolique providence ! - bouleverse le destin de Furio Monticello, peintre maudit, qui va lâcher ses pinceaux pour parcourir le monde, dans le sillage d'un Anglais richissime et cultivant d'étranges fantasmes... Homme à tout faire, ou presque, de ce personnage singulier, il aura rendez-vous avec l'amour, puis avec la mort, avant de tirer un magistral bras d'honneur et voyager encore, mais au gré de sa fantaisie, lui qui préfère la comédie au drame.
Amoureux d'une brune délicieuse, j'ai dû séduire une fausse blonde fracassante, dont l'attrait principal était d'être mariée au grand patron de ma boîte. C'est ainsi que, sans beaucoup d'enthousiasme, j'ai trompé l'adorable Penny avec l'entreprenante Cynthia. La chair est faible. Même celle d'un jeune cadre dynamique rongé d'ambition et... Cynthia avait un droit de priorité, en quelque sorte : Ne l'avais-je pas connue bibliquement au temps lointain où j'étais encore étudiant au Queen's College ? Pratiquer la femme de Dieu-le-Père ? Passe encore ! Mais rayer celui-ci de la carte des vivants, pour complaire à l'épouse légitime, caressant des rêves de veuvage doré, c'est une chose qu'on hésite à faire, quand on a tant soit peu d'éducation ! Rectificatif de l'auteur : en fait, j'ai été pratiquement violé !
Toujours le même scénario ! A force d'escroquer les gens, grâce à ce procédé immuable et simpliste, Tony Yerba en arrivait à oublier qu'il agissait dans l'illégalité. Après cinq années de pratique, il se dédoublait et prononçait ses répliques usées avec la conviction d'un honnête représentant de commerce qui vante les mérites de sa marchandise. En fait de marchandise, Tony Yerba n'avait que du vent à vendre !
Je m'appelle David Mac Torney. Mon existence, je l'ai menée au gré de ma fantaisie et j'avais beaucoup de fantaisie, avant de rencontrer Helen ! La morale établie n'a été inventée que pour neutraliser les imbéciles. J'ai tout fait. Tout ce qui se fait. Essayer, tout essayer. N'est-ce pas le meilleur moyen de faire un choix ? Il me manquait l'expérience du mariage. Expérience banale, me direz-vous ? On voit que vous n'avez pas épousé Helen Moore ! Une maîtresse femme. J'aurais dû me borner à en faire ma maîtresse. Pas ma femme !
