Synopsis "Beliefs and Practices: Taking a Fresh Look (in English)"
Far too many people around the world are captives of the social conditioning that they are exposed to, especially as they grow up but also, in many cases, later on. They assume that the beliefs and practices that they learn in the culture or subculture to which they belong are well-founded and superior to others. The result is that they conform rather than question. They don't exhibit the curiosity, courage, self-reliance, and self-determination that mark a life worth living. "Beliefs and Practices: Taking a Fresh Look" challenges readers to evaluate the beliefs which they embrace and the practices which they follow on pivotal topics, including religion, knowledge, choices, right and wrong, and government. It promotes critical thinking and intelligent skepticism. Each of the six chapters includes a narrative and readings. The author, Tom Shipka (Ph.D., Boston College), taught philosophy at Youngstown State University for 46 years. His publications include a text and dozens of articles. He also aired 164 commentaries on the National Public Radio affiliate in Youngstown, Ohio. The readings following the narratives in each chapter include some of his articles and commentaries.
