Agarwood, also known as eaglewood or gaharu, is a valuable non-timber forest product which sometimes grows in Aquilaria species. The genus species occur mainly in South and Southeast Asia. As a result of a defense mechanism to fend off pathogenes, Aquilaria species develop agarwood which can be used for incense, perfume, and traditional medicines. The main markets for these products are in South and East Asia and the Middle East. The high prices demanded for agarwood has led to the rapid depletion ...

Morality is not the sole domain of religion as virtually all institutions and associations have codes of ethics or moral boundaries that distinguish right from wrong. This chapter reviews research that identifies the distinctive contributions of religion with relation to moral beliefs and behaviors. We begin by briefly reviewing why religion is unique. Why does it hold a distinctive relationship with morality and what drives this relationship? Next we turn to the relationship between morality and ...

Sigmund Freud in his exegesis on religion (1959/1907, 1961/1927) focused mostly on what he considered to be the illusion responsible for religious belief, especially the belief in a super/supra-natural God. He theorized that belief in God was a first step in a general attempt to manage the unfeeling nature of nature, or as Paul Bloom (2005) puts it, “the terrors of nature.” In a specific way, Freud pointed to man’s fate of ultimate death as a particularly onerous contemplation, and posited that religious ...

Abstract Aristotle’s dismissal of Xenophanes in the Metaphysics may give the impression that he had a rather low estimation of him. It will be useful to qualify this impression somewhat before proceeding to the substance of the view he attributes to Xenophanes. One needs to consider both the implications of Aristotle’s general dismissal of the Eleatics from his present enquiry and the specific criticisms he directs against the character of Xenophanes’ views. Aristotle’s expressed purpose in considering ...
