{"product_id":"the-ethics-of-oneness-jeremy-david-engels-9780226745978","title":"The Ethics of Oneness: Emerson, Whitman, and the Bhagavad Gita","description":"We live in an era defined by a sense of separation, even in the midst of networked connectivity. As cultural climates sour and divisive political structures spread, we are left wondering about our ties to each other. Consequently, there is no better time than now to reconsider ideas of unity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Ethics of Oneness\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeremy David Engels reads the \u003ci\u003eBhagavad Gita\u003c\/i\u003e alongside the works of American thinkers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman. Drawing on this rich combination of traditions, Engels presents the notion that individuals are fundamentally interconnected in their shared divinity. In other words, everything is one. If the lessons of oneness are taken to heart, particularly as they were expressed and celebrated by Whitman, and the ethical challenges of oneness considered seriously, Engels thinks it is possible to counter the pervasive and problematic American ideals of hierarchy, exclusion, violence, and domination. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy David Engels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022674597X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226745978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Jeremy David Engels","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942595264767,"sku":"9780226745978","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3bb9816d-982b-46e7-9b30-301fc1604cd3.jpg?v=1681493262","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ethics-of-oneness-jeremy-david-engels-9780226745978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
