{"product_id":"liberation-philosophy-mostafa-vaziri-9781622735310","title":"Liberation Philosophy: From the Buddha to Omar Khayyam","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe critical narrative of this interdisciplinary book offers a first-time look at the interrelationship between biology, mythology and philosophy in human development. Its daring premise follows the trajectory of human thought, starting with the biological roots of fear and the original need for religion, truth-seeking, and myth-making. The narrative then innovatively links a number of maverick philosophical teachings over the centuries, from pre-Buddhist times to the Buddha, from Epicurus and Pyrrho to Lucretius, and eventually to the seminal poetry of Omar Khayyam. These emergent philosophies exemplified liberation from the grasp of mythical and religious thinking and instead espoused an empirical and joyful mind. The narrative concludes with a look at the emancipating philosophical movement that resulted in the European Enlightenment, and it suggests that the philosophical teachings explored in the book may offer the potential for a second, broader Enlightenment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mostafa Vaziri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1622735315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781622735310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vernon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Mostafa Vaziri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48014004027647,"sku":"9781622735310","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bd2ffc9-8cc7-42da-ad1a-93b14cb0b1d6.jpg?v=1767746124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liberation-philosophy-mostafa-vaziri-9781622735310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
