The Syndetic Paradigm
In The Syndetic Paradigm, Robert Aziz argues that the Jungian Paradigm is a deeply flawed theoretical model that falls short of its promise. Aziz offers in its stead what he calls the Syndetic Paradigm. In contrast to the Jungian Paradigm, the Syndetic Paradigm takes the critical theoretical step of moving from a closed-system model of a self-regulatory psyche to an open-system model of a psyche in a self-organizing totality. The Syndetic Paradigm, in this regard, holds that all of life is bound together in a highly complex whole through an ongoing process of spontaneous self-organization. The new theoretical model that emerges in Aziz's work, while taking up the fundamental concerns of its Freudian and Jungian predecessors with psychology, ethics, spirituality, sexuality, politics, and culture, conducts us to an experience of meaning that altogether exceeds their respective bounds.
The Emergency of Being
"The heart of history, for Heidegger, is not a sequence of occurrences but the eruption of significance at critical junctures that bring us into our own by making all being, including our being, into an urgent issue. In emergency, being emerges."—from The Emergency of Being The esoteric Contributions to Philosophy, often considered Martin Heidegger's second main work after Being and Time, is crucial to any interpretation of his thought. Here Heidegger proposes that being takes place as "appropriation." Richard Polt's independent-minded account of the Contributions interprets appropriation as an event of emergency that demands to be thought in a "future-subjunctive" mode. Polt explores the ...

Globally and Locally
Globally and Locally tackles the economic difficulties of succeeding in a world that is increasingly global while surviving on the local level. It brings together the ideas of several scholars on the political and economic strategies to follow in the modern global market. The editors examine the United States, Scotland, and Japan on the corporate, community, and regional levels and make recommendations to improve the present economic structures without completely replacing them. Each concept focuses on the unique goal of charting a middle path that binds theory with practice, culture with nature, economy with ecology, and the global with the local. A strategy is devised for global success without neglecting matters such as culture, the environment, small towns, or rural areas.
Knowing Christ in the Challenge of Heresy
The Most Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—uses heresy. On the surface, this is a frightening statement. But through the challenge of Christological heresies, the early church was moved to the task of articulating the faith once for all handed down to the saints. As a result of these heresies, the church realized that it had to lay out biblically, with nuance and precision, who Christ is. This nuance and precision was geared toward answering these heresies with “no,” and resulted in the saints through the ages knowing Jesus better. As it was then, so it is now. The church today, in sync with the Scripture and the apostolic tradition founded upon Jesus, needs in part to articulate biblical Christology in a way that specifically addresses modern-day heresies so that we may know Christ better, more deeply. In Knowing Christ in the Challenge of Heresy, Steven Tsoukalas lays out several modern-day heretical Christologies and answers them biblically with nuance and precision. Readers will not only find a documented cataloguing of specific heresies, but also chapters on Christology found in books of the Bible.
