Soul Beliefs: Causes and Consequences - Unit 2: Belief Systems (Coursera)

Throughout history, the vast majority of people around the globe have believed they have, however defined, a “soul.” While the question of whether the soul exists cannot be answered by science, what we can study are the causes and consequences of various beliefs about the soul and its prospects of surviving the death of the body. Why are soul and afterlife beliefs so common in human history? Are there adaptive advantages to assuming souls exist?

Mas a adaptação a novos tempos, a evolução do gosto, o terramoto de 1755 e as campanhas de Napoleão vão determinar a forma como o Paço vai sendo (ou não) habitado ao longo do século XVIII. Outro monarca, D. João VI, deixará também a sua marca neste que era um dos seus Paços favoritos. Conheça neste curso esta e outras dimensões da história do Palácio.

The Bible's Prehistory, Purpose, and Political Future (Coursera)

With its walls razed to ground by Babylon’s armies, Jerusalem joined a long line of ancient vanquished cities—from Ur and Nineveh and Persepolis to Babylon itself. While some recovered from the destruction, others did not. But none responded to political catastrophe by fashioning the kind of elaborate and enduring monument to their own downfall that we find in the Bible. Most conquered populations viewed their subjugation as a source of shame. They consigned it to oblivion, opting instead to extol the golden ages of the past. The biblical authors in contrast reacted to loss by composing extensive writings that acknowledge collective failure, reflect deeply upon its causes, and discover thereby a ground for collective hope.
