John O'Neil

On December 27, 2007 Captain John T. O'Neil had his last roll call, but luckily his passion for the police force didn't die as he dedicated his retirement to the writing of the many collections of stories he was privey to hear about and be a part of during his 40 year service. John O'Neil lives in the Berkshires where he shares his stories with his wife Hulda O'Neil and his three children and seven grandchildren and now you! This book provides adventure to the thrill seeker and twists and turns for the detective in all of us and they are all true!

Praise for Seasons of Grace "In this beautifully written book, Alan Jones and John O’Neil deliver a timely antidote to the stressed-out, spiritually barren lives that too many of us accept as the price of success. This is a book that may both comfort and challenge you to change your life and the world for the better." –Dean Ornish, M. D., author of Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease and Love & Survival "I love this book. It is packed with inspirational stories from the lives of the authors and their friends that illustrate how feelings of gratitude for even the smallest gifts and kindnesses and joys help us to live each day to the full. Reading Seasons of Grace will help you to cope with the hard times, to find the silver linings. It is a splendid, joyous, and enriching recipe for life." –Jane Goodall, author of Reason for Hope and The Ten Trusts "Most people are grateful because they’re happy; wise people are happy because they're grateful. Thank you, Alan Jones and John O’Neil, for reminding us of this happy fact." –Roger Walsh, M. D., Ph. D., author of Essential Spirituality: The 7 Central Practices to Awaken Heart and Mind "As gentle as it is wise, Seasons of Grace shows us everyday life as a joyous spiritual art: the art of receiving, day by day, the life we are given–every last bit of it." –Jacob Needleman, author of The American Soul

Cette nouvelle collection d'essais sur la theorie et la praxis communicative de l'eleve eminent de Merlau-Ponty, John O'Neill, va en explorer la these selon laquelle le corps humain est le terrain exemplaire soutenant tous les autres processus communicatifs. O'Neill soutient que nos corps s'inscrivent, et dans les institutions sociales et dans les institutions politiques, qui presupposent et prescrivent des conduites corporelles fondamentales de par leurs codes discursifs. Le corps humain est le sujet metaphysique du monde et, de ce fait, de l'histoire et des politiques etudiees dans les economies de prise du corps hegeliennes, marxistes et lacaniennes. La " longue histoire " du corps du monde, sa beaute civile et son endurance est defendue dans un essai conclusif sur la " sociologie communicative ".
