This book is the first comprehensive examination of the ethical parameters of paganism when considered as a world religion alongside Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism. The issues of evil, value and idolatry from a pagan perspective are analyzed as part of the Western ethical tradition from the Sophists and Platonic schools through the philosophers Spinoza, Hume, Kant and Nietzsche to such contemporary thinkers as Grayling, Mackie, MacIntyre, Habermas, Levinas, Santayana, etc. From a more practical viewpoint, a delineation of applied pagan ethics is then presented in connection with current moral issues such as same-sex union, recreational drugs, environmental awareness, abortion and terrorism. Finally, overviews of sectarian pagan ethics (Shinto, Santeria, Heathenism, Druidry, Romuva, Slavic, Kemeticism, Classical and Wicca) provide both the general and pagan reader with an understanding of the provocative range and differentiation of pagan ethical thought. The book approaches the Western ethical tradition as an historical development and a continuing dialogue. The novelty of this approach lies in its consideration of paganism as a legitimate voice of religious spirituality rather than a satanic aberration or ridiculous childish behavior. The book is aimed at both the contemporary Western pagan and anyone with an interest in the moral dilemmas of our times and the desire to engage in the global ethical discussion.Among the more important features of the book are its presentation of a re-evaluation of idolatry, the notion of the virtue value, the richness of the pagan tradition, and the expansion of Western ethics beyond its Christian heritage

Reviews for "Magic in Your Hands: Unleash Your Creativity with the Notebook and Pencil"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out the Magic notebook and pencil, but I have to say, I was extremely disappointed. The notebook itself was nothing special, just a regular notebook with plain white pages. And the pencil did absolutely nothing magical. I tried writing and drawing with it, but there was no difference whatsoever. It was just a regular pencil. Definitely not worth the hype.
2. Emily - 1 star - I don't understand why people are raving about the Magic notebook and pencil. I bought it thinking it would be some kind of revolutionary stationery item, but it turned out to be a complete waste of money. The notebook had poor quality paper that bled through easily, and the pencil was just a regular pencil with no magical properties. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
