I dreamed, and behold, I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. I looked, and saw him open the book, and read therein; and as he read, he wept and trembled; and, not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a lamentable cry, saying, 'What shall I do ' 206 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' We propose to consider first the single elements of our subject, then each branch or part, and, last of all, the whole, in all its relations therefore to advance from the simple to the complex. But it is necessary for us to commence with a glance at the nature of the whole, because it is particularly necessary that in the consideration of any of the parts their relation to the whole should be kept constantly in view. We shall not enter into any of the abstruse definitions of War used by publicists. We shall keep to the element of the thing itself, to a duel. War is nothing but a duel on an extensive scale. If we would conceive as a unit the countless number of duels which make up a War, we shall do so best by supposing to ourselves two wrestlers. Each strives by physical force to compel the other to submit to his will: each endeavours to throw his adversary, and thus render him incapable of further resistance.' 274 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' What hink ye of Christ, whose son is he ' Humane child of human parents, or divine Son of the Almighty God When we consider his purity, his faith in the Father, his forgiving patience, his devoted work among the offscourings of society, his brotherly love to sinners and outcasts¿ when our minds dwell on these alone,¿we all feel the marvellous fascination which has drawn millions to the feet of this 'son of man,' and the needle of our faith begins to tremble towards the Christian pole. If we would keep unsullied the purity of our faith in God alone, we are obliged to turn our eyes some times¿however unwillingly¿towards the other side of the picture and to mark the human weaknesses which remind us that he is but one of our race. His harshness to his mother, his bitterness towards some of his opponents, the marked failure of one or two of his rare prophecies, the palpable limitation of his knowledge ¿ little enough, indeed, when all are told,¿are more than enough to show us that, however great as man, he is not the All-righteous, the All- seeing, the All-knowing, God.' 250 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'The Philosophy Of Spinoza' by Benedictus De Spinoza - A Rational Exploration of God, Nature, and Human ExistenceDelve into the thought-provoking realm of 'The Philosophy Of Spinoza', a monumental work by Dutch philosopher Benedictus De Spinoza. Known for his elaborate system of thought, Spinoza offers readers a unique lens through which to explore the relationship between God, nature, and human existence.Underpinning Spinoza's philosophy is a commitment to rationalism and a rejection of traditional religious dogmas. In this text, Spinoza boldly asserts that God and the universe are one and the same - a concept known as 'pantheism'. The individual's place in this world, according to Spinoza, is dictated by natural laws, just like everything else in the universe.Further, Spinoza challenges prevailing beliefs about free will, asserting that human beings are driven by their passions and their understanding of their own interest, thus undermining the traditional view of humans as free agents. He advocates for a life led by reason, which he sees as the path to true freedom and happiness.Spinoza's groundbreaking ideas, encapsulated in 'The Philosophy Of Spinoza', continue to be a source of debate and reflection for modern philosophers and scholars. His work invites readers to question and rethink their understanding of God, nature, and the human condition. 268 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' The father of Alexander Pope was a London merchant, a devout Catholic, and not improbably a convert to Catholicism. His mother was one of seventeen children of William Turner, of York; one of her sisters was the wife of Cooper, the wellknown portraitpainter. Mrs. Cooper was the poet's godmother; she died when he was five years old, leaving to her sister, Mrs. Pope, a 'grindingstone and muller,' and their mother's 'picture in limning;' and to her nephew, the little Alexander, all her 'books, pictures, and medals set in gold or otherwise.'In afterlife the poet made some progress in acquiring the art of painting; and the bequest suggests the possibility that the precocious child had already given some indications of artistic taste. Affectionate eyes were certainly on the watch for any symptoms of developing talent. Pope was born on May, the annus mirabilis which introduced a new political era in England, and was fatal to the hopes of ardent Catholics. About the same time, partly, perhaps, in consequence of the catastrophe, Pope's father retired from business, and settled at Binfielda village two miles from Wokingham and nine from Windsor. It is near Bracknell, one of Shelley's brief perching places, and in such a region as poets might love, if poetic praises of rustic seclusion are to be taken seriously. To the east were the 'forests and green retreats' of Windsor, and the wild heaths of Bagshot, Chobham and Aldershot stretched for miles to the South. Some twelve miles off in that direction, one may remark, lay Moor Park, where the sturdy pedestrian, Swift, was living with Sir W. Temple during great part of Pope's childhood; but it does not appear that his walks ever took him to Pope's neighbourhood, nor did he see, till some years later, the lad with whom he was to form one of the most famous of literary friendships. The little household was presumably a very quiet one, and remained fixed at Binfield for twentyseven years, till the son had grown to manhood and celebrity.' 126 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'Art de la Guerre de Sun Tzu est un classique intemporel qui explore les stratégies et tactiques de la guerre, qui trouvent des applications modernes non seulement en conflit militaire, mais aussi dans les domaines de leadership, gestion d'entreprise, et développement personnel. Rédigé par le général chinois et stratège militaire Sun Tzu, cet ouvrage est un must-read pour toute personne souhaitant maîtriser l'art de la stratégie.L'une des notions fondamentales de 'L'Art de la Guerre' est la connaissance de soi et de l'ennemi. Sun Tzu insiste sur l'importance de connaître ses propres forces et faiblesses ainsi que celles de l'adversaire. Ce concept est encore applicable aujourd'hui dans la gestion de projet, la prise de décision, et les négociations d'affaires.Une autre idée clé est la flexibilité stratégique. Sun Tzu enseigne que la victoire est atteinte par la capacité d'adapter sa stratégie en fonction des circonstances, tout en maintenant un objectif clair. Cette pensée est pertinente dans l'innovation en entreprise, où la capacité à pivoter est essentielle pour répondre aux tendances du marché et aux besoins des consommateurs.Sun Tzu parle également de l'importance de la planification. Selon lui, la planification minutieuse est essentielle pour prévoir les difficultés et assurer le succès. Ce principe est crucial dans le management moderne où la planification stratégique, la gestion des risques et l'allocation efficace des ressources sont des compétences clés.L'ouvrage met en évidence l'importance du terrain et de l'environnement dans les stratégies militaires, ce qui peut être interprété métaphoriquement dans le monde des affaires comme l'importance de comprendre l'environnement concurrentiel et le positionnement de marché.Un autre concept central est le moral et l'esprit d'équipe. Sun Tzu considère que le moral des troupes est un facteur clé pour gagner une bataille. De même, dans une entreprise, le travail d'équipe, la motivation et le leadership efficace sont essentiels pour atteindre les objectifs.En ce qui concerne l'espionnage, Sun Tzu estime que la collecte de renseignements sur l'ennemi est cruciale pour la prise de décision. Dans le contexte commercial, cela peut être comparé à l'analyse de la concurrence et à la veille de marché.L'ouvrage aborde aussi l'usage de la ruse et de la tromperie. Sun Tzu soutient que tromper l'ennemi est souvent la clé de la victoire. Cela peut être extrapolé aux stratégies de marketing où la différenciation de marque et les campagnes de publicité innovantes peuvent créer une illusion de supériorité.les principaux mots-clés de ce livre : stratégie militaire, tactique, leadership, philosophie de guerre, littérature chinoise ancienne, gestion de conflit, philosophie du leadership, victoire sans combat, psychologie de l'adversaire, planification stratégique, positionnement tactique, discipline, morale, nature humaine, pouvoir, stratégie d'affaires. 70 pp. Französisch.…

Hat doch die Allgemeinheit, Gehobenheit und Innigkeit der Gedächtnißfeste gezeigt, daß dieser Mann, wie aus dem Schooße des Volkes herausgewachsen, so auch ihm an das Herz gewachsen ist; so daß man vertrauen darf, das deutsche Volk werde ihn so lange in treuem und dankbarem Andenken halten, bis Das, was tüchtig und ewig an ihm war, wiederum auch ganz in Fleisch und Blut des Volkes hineingewachsen ist, damit sein Sinn und Geist Blüthen und Früchte treibe aus dem Marke und Safte des Volkes zum Segen des .

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' Das achtzehnte Jahrhundert zählt in der Geschichte der Entwicklung der Menschheit zu jenen Perioden, auf denen der Blick des Kulturforschers und Fortschrittsfreundes mit besonderem Interesse ruht. Nach den religiösen, politischen und sozialen Kämpfen des Reformationszeitalters war, wie das stets nach großen Volks- und Massenbewegungen zu geschehen pflegt, eine Art Stillstand und Rückschlag für die Fortentwicklung eingetreten. Die durch die Reformationsbewegungen zur Geltung gekommenen Stände und Interessen suchten sich zu konsolidiren und die daraus hervorgehenden Reibungen führten wieder zu gewaltsamen Kämpfen und Erschütterungen von mehr oder weniger langer Dauer, die alle übrigen Interessen absorbirten, den materiellen wie den geistigen Fortschritt der Massen für lange Zeit hemmten.In Deutschland hatte die Reformation dem Landesfürstenthum Oberwasser verschafft. Die Landesfürsten hatten die Reformation benutzt, um unter dem Deckmantel der Religion die eigene Hausmacht nach Möglichkeit zu stärken dadurch, daß sie den kleinen Adel sich unterthänig und von sich abhängig machten, die Macht der Geistlichkeit brachen, sich selbst die bischöfliche Gewalt beilegten, Kloster und Kirchengut konfiszirten und die gewonnene Macht benutzten, sich immer mehr von der Kaisergewalt zu emanzipiren, diese zum bloßen Schatten zu degradiren. Aus diesem Interessenkampf der Fürsten entstanden die sogenannten Religionskriege, der schmalkaldische und der dreißigjährige Krieg, die Deutschlands politische Ohnmacht und Zerrissenheit auf Jahrhunderte besiegelten, seine ökonomische Schwächung die schon durch die Umgestaltung der Weltmarktsbeziehungen in Folge der Entdeckung von Amerika und des Seewegs nach Ostindien veranlaßt war noch vergrößerten und allgemeine Armuth, schweren geistigen und geistlichen Druck über Länder und Völker verbreiteten.' 136 pp. Deutsch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Sul Fascismo' di Antonio Gramsci - Un'analisi completa dell'ideologia fascista e del suo impattoImmergiti in 'Sul Fascismo', un'opera provocatoria di Antonio Gramsci, uno dei pensatori marxisti più influenti del XX secolo. In questo testo fondamentale, Gramsci offre un'analisi approfondita del fascismo, della sua ideologia sottostante e delle sue implicazioni di vasta portata.'Sul Fascismo' presenta l'interpretazione unica di Gramsci sull'ascesa del fascismo in Italia, attribuendo la sua emersione alle crisi all'interno del sistema capitalista. Esamina le contraddizioni intrinseche del fascismo, la manipolazione della psicologia di massa e l'uso del potere statale per imporre la dottrina fascista.Critica la visione marxista tradizionale che il fascismo fosse semplicemente una forza reazionaria della borghesia, Gramsci sostiene che fosse un movimento di massa con la sua propria dinamica, guidato dalla mobilitazione di diversi gruppi sociali. Introduce il concetto di 'egemonia' - il modo in cui le classi dominanti stabiliscono e mantengono il loro dominio ottenendo il consenso dei governati.Inoltre, Gramsci discute il concetto dell''intellettuale organico' e il ruolo di tali individui nella creazione, diffusione e legittimazione delle idee che sostengono lo status quo, o alternativamente, lo sfidano e lo cambiano.'Sul Fascismo' è un must per chiunque cerchi una profonda comprensione del fascismo e dei suoi impatti sociali. L'opera di Gramsci fornisce preziose intuizioni sulla manipolazione del potere e dell'ideologia, offrendo una critica approfondita del fascismo da una prospettiva socio-politica.' Vi è una espressione incisiva del compagno Radek, da lui usata nel commemorare, in una assemblea di comunisti, al congresso della Internazionale, un militante del nazionalismo tedesco fucilato nella Ruhr dai nazionalisti francesi, che ci torna a mente ogni volta che pensiamo al destino di Giacomo Matteotti. «Pellegrino del nulla» chiamava il compagno Radek il combattente sfortunato, ma tenace fino al sacrificio di sé, di una idea la quale non può condurre i suoi credenti e militanti ad altro che ad un inutile circolo vizioso di lotte, di agitazioni, di sacrifici senza risultato e senza via di uscita. «Pellegrino del nulla» appare a noi Giacomo Matteotti quando consideriamo la sua vita e la sua fine in relazione con tutte le circostanze che danno ad esse un valore non piú «personale», ma di indicazione generale e di simbolo.' 162 pp. Italienisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' Die Phänomenologie des Geistes ist ein Werk des Philosophen Hegel, das 1807 in einer Auflage von 750 Exemplaren veröffentlicht wurde. Der Titel der Ausgabe von 1807 lautet Système de la science, Teil I, die Phänomenologie des Geistes. Ein weiterer Untertitel Hegels lautet: Erster Teil: Wissenschaft von der Erfahrung des Bewusstseins. Der Zweck der Phänomenologie besteht, wie im Vorwort erwähnt, darin, ¿das Wahre nicht als Substanz, sondern genau als Subjekt zu erfassen und auszudrücken¿. Die Phänomenologie des Geistes ist nach Levinas eines der wichtigsten Werke der Philosophie. Es handelt sich um ein theoretisch dichtes Werk, das einen gewissen Einfluss auf die Denkschulen des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts (Marxismus4, Idealismus5) hatte. Es ist ein konzeptionelles und schwieriges Buch. Seine Rezeption in Frankreich ist spät im Jahr. Es wird aus den Jahren 1930¿67 kommentiert und übersetzt.' 290 pp. Deutsch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' Eine Erklärung, wie sie einer Schrift in einer Vorrede nach der Gewohnheit vorausgeschickt wird¿Über den Zweck, den der Verfasser sich in ihr vorgesetzt, sowie über die Veranlassungen und das Verhältnis, worin er sie zu andern frühern oder gleichzeitigen Behandlungen desselben Gegenstandes zu stehen glaubt¿scheint bei einer philosophischen Schrift nicht nur überflüssig, sondern um der Natur der Sache willen sogar unpassend und zweckwidrig zu sein. Denn wie und was von Philosophie in einer Vorrede zu sagen schicklich wäre¿etwa eine historische Angabe der Tendenz und des Standpunkts, des allgemeinen Inhalts und der Resultate, eine Verbindung von hin und her sprechenden Behauptungen und Versicherungen über das Wahre¿, kann nicht für die Art und Weise gelten, in der die philosophische Wahrheit darzustellen sei.¿Auch weil die Philosophie wesentlich im Elemente der Allgemeinheit ist, die das Besondere in sich schließt, so findet bei ihr mehr als bei andern Wissenschaften der Schein statt, als ob in dem Zwecke oder den letzten Resultaten die Sache selbst und sogar in ihrem vollkommenen Wesen ausgedrückt wäre, gegen welches die Ausführung eigentlich das Unwesentliche sei. In der allgemeinen Vorstellung hingegen, zum Beispiel was Anatomie sei, etwa die Kenntnis der Teile des Körpers nach ihrem unlebendigen Dasein betrachtet, ist man überzeugt, die Sache selbst, den Inhalt dieser Wissenschaft, noch nicht zu besitzen, sondern außerdem um das Besondere sich bemühen zu müssen. Ferner ist bei einem solchen Aggregate von Kenntnissen, das den Namen Wissenschaft nicht mit Recht führt, eine Konversation über Zweck und dergleichen Allgemeinheiten nicht von der historischen und begrifflosen Weise verschieden, worin von dem Inhalte selbst, diesen Nerven, Muskeln und so fort, gesprochen wird. Bei der Philosophie hingegen würde die Ungleichheit entstehen, daß von einer solchen Weise Gebrauch gemacht, und diese doch von ihr selbst als unfähig, die Wahrheit zu fassen, aufgezeigt würde.' 276 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' [Esperienze civili e morali.] Estrarre da questa rubrica una serie di note che siano del tipo dei Ricordi politici e civili del Guicciardini (tutte le proporzioni rispettate). I «Ricordi» sono tali in quanto riassumono non tanto avvenimenti autobiografici in senso stretto (sebbene anche questi non manchino), quanto «esperienze» civili e morali (morali piú nel senso etico-politico) strettamente connesse alla propria vita e ai suoi avvenimenti, considerate nel loro valore universale o nazionale. Per molti rispetti, una tal forma di scrittura può essere piú utile che le autobiografie in senso stretto, specialmente se essa si riferisce a processi vitali che sono caratterizzati dal continuo tentativo di superare un modo di vivere e di pensare arretrato, come quello che era proprio di un sardo del principio del secolo per appropriarsi un modo di vivere e di pensare non piú regionale e da «villaggio», ma nazionale, e tanto piú nazionale (anzi nazionale appunto perciò) in quanto cercava di inserirsi in modi di vivere e di pensare europei, o almeno il modo nazionale confrontava coi modi europei, le necessità culturali italiane confrontavano con le necessità culturali e le correnti europee (nel modo in cui ciò era possibile e fattibile nelle condizioni personali date, è vero, ma almeno secondo esigenze e bisogni fortemente sentiti in questo senso). Se è vero che una delle necessità piú forti della cultura italiana era quella di sprovincializzarsi anche nei centri urbani piú avanzati e moderni, tanto piú evidente dovrebbe apparire il processo in quanto sperimentato da un «triplice o quadruplice provinciale» come certo era un giovane sardo del principio del secolo.' 250 pp. Italienisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' È davvero meravigliosa la lotta che l'umanità combatte da tempo immemorabile; lotta incessante, con cui essa tenta di strappare e lacerare tutti i vincoli che la libidine di dominio di un solo, di una classe, o anche di un intero popolo, tentano di imporle. È questa una epopea che ha avuto innumerevoli eroi ed è stata scritta dagli storici di tutto il mondo. L'uomo, che ad un certo tempo si sente forte, con la coscienza della propria responsabilità e del proprio valore, non vuole che alcun altro gli imponga la sua volontà e pretenda di controllare le sue azioni e il suo pensiero. Perché pare che sia un crudele destino per gli umani, questo istinto che li domina di volersi divorare l'un l'altro, invece di convergere le forze unite per lottare contro la natura e renderla sempre piú utile ai bisogni degli uomini. Invece, un popolo quando si sente forte e agguerrito, subito pensa a aggredire i suoi vicini, per cacciarli ed opprimerli. Perché è chiaro che ogni vincitore vuol distruggere il vinto. Ma l'uomo che per natura è ipocrito e finto, non dice già «io voglio conquistare per distruggere», ma, «io voglio conquistare per incivilire». E tutti gli altri, che lo invidiano, ma aspettano la loro volta per fare lo stesso, fingono di crederci e lodano.' 216 pp. Italienisch.…

Non perché esso riuscirà a rovesciare lo Stato capitalistico (abbiamo dimostrato che la conquista dello Stato da parte dei proletari avverrà solo quando gli operai e i contadini avranno creato un sistema di istituzioni statali capaci di sostituire le istituzioni dello Stato democraticoparlamentare), ma perché inizierà un periodo di profondi rivolgimenti nella struttura economica attuale. La crisi del dopoguerra si inizierà il 2021. Finora i capitalisti, premuti dal governo, hanno concesso facilmente: hanno acconsentito a mantenere la produzione su un piano antieconomico per evitare la disoccupazione e la rivolta dei disperati. Non vorranno piú continuare, non potranno piú continuare. Lo sciopero diventerà la giustificazione di tutta una serie di misure di polizia industriale tendenti a ridare alla produzione la capacità di esprimere un profitto sicuro e abbondante. E naturalmente i giornali addosseranno ai socialisti rivoluzionari la responsabilità dei licenziamenti e delle serrate, e cercheranno di rompere la formidabile unità del proletariato.' 268 pp. Italienisch.…

These words¿true, indeed, of every writer, but true of Leibniz in a way which gives a peculiar interest and charm to his life¿must be our excuse for prefacing what is to be said of his ¿New Essays concerning the Human Understanding¿ with a brief biographical sketch.Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was born in Leipzig June 21, 1646. His father, who died when Leibniz was only six years old, was a professor in the university and a notary of considerable practice. From him the future philosopher seems to have derived his extraordinary industry and love of detail. Such accounts as we have of him show no traces of the wonderful intellectual genius of his son, but only a diligent, plodding, faithful, and religious man, a thoroughly conscientious husband, jurist, and professor. Nor in the lines of physical heredity can we account for the unique career of Leibniz by his mother¿s endowments. The fact, however, that she was patient in all trial, living in peace with her neighbors, anxious for unity and concord with all people, even with those not well disposed to her, throws great light upon the fundamental trait of Leibniz¿s ethical nature' 176 pp. Deutsch.…

Neuware -'Selections from the Table Talk of Martin Luther' offers a transition glimpse into the thoughts and teachings of Martin Luther, a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation. This collection, translated by Captain Henry Bell, captures Luther's informal discussions on a wide range of theological topics, providing insight into his views on the Bible, faith, and the nature of God. Luther emphasizes the importance of the Bible as the ultimate source of divine wisdom, contrasting it with the writings of the Church Fathers and other religious texts. He argues that true understanding of the Scriptures comes through personal trials and temptations, which drive believers to seek deeper knowledge and reliance on God's Word. Luther also critiques the practices of the Catholic Church, particularly the emphasis on human reason and tradition over the authority of Scripture. The text highlights Luther's belief in the power of God's Word to transform lives and his conviction that the Bible should be accessible to all believers. Through anecdotes and personal reflections, Luther's Table Talk reveals his passion for reforming the Church and his commitment to spreading the Gospel. This work not only sheds light on Luther's theological perspectives but also provides a historical context for the religious upheavals of the 16th century. 102 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -'The Pilgrim's Progress' by John Bunyan is a seminal work in Christian literature, first published in 1678. This allegorical narrative follows the protagonist, Christian, on his journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. The story is divided into two parts, with the first focusing on Christian's pilgrimage and the second on his wife, Christiana, and their children. Throughout the narrative, Bunyan employs rich allegory to explore themes of faith, redemption, and the trials of the Christian life. Christian encounters various characters and obstacles, each symbolizing different spiritual challenges and virtues.

Neuware -'The Philosophy Of Spinoza' by Benedictus De Spinoza - A Rational Exploration of God, Nature, and Human ExistenceDelve into the thought-provoking realm of 'The Philosophy Of Spinoza', a monumental work by Dutch philosopher Benedictus De Spinoza. Known for his elaborate system of thought, Spinoza offers readers a unique lens through which to explore the relationship between God, nature, and human existence.Underpinning Spinoza's philosophy is a commitment to rationalism and a rejection of traditional religious dogmas.

He advocates for a life led by reason, which he sees as the path to true freedom and happiness.Spinoza's groundbreaking ideas, encapsulated in 'The Philosophy Of Spinoza', continue to be a source of debate and reflection for modern philosophers and scholars.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The text provides an in-depth exploration of the early literary career of Alexander Pope, a prominent English poet of the 18th century. Born in 1688 to a Catholic family, Pope faced numerous societal challenges due to his religion and frail health. Despite these obstacles, he demonstrated an early aptitude for poetry, influenced by the likes of Dryden and other classical writers. His early works, including 'Pastorals' and the 'Essay on Criticism,' showcase his developing style and adherence to the classical ideals of wit, nature, and correctness. The 'Pastorals,' published in Tonson's Miscellany, were exercises in versification, reflecting the influence of Virgil and Theocritus, though they lacked genuine rural sentiment. The 'Essay on Criticism,' written when Pope was just 21, is a didactic poem that articulates the principles of good criticism and poetry, drawing heavily from classical sources and contemporary critics like Boileau and Dryden. Pope's early success was marked by the recognition and support of established literary figures such as Sir William Trumbull and William Walsh, who encouraged his poetic endeavors. However, his rise to fame was not without conflict; his relationship with Wycherley, an older poet, soured over disagreements about revisions to Wycherley's work. Despite these early controversies, Pope's talent and dedication to his craft positioned him as a leading figure in English literature, setting the stage for his later achievements, including his renowned translation of Homer. 126 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'My Path to Atheism' by Annie Besant is a reflective exploration of the author's passage from Christianity to atheism. The text is a compilation of essays written over five years, capturing the evolution of Besant's thoughts and beliefs. Initially, Besant was a devout Christian, but her journey towards atheism began with critical examinations of Christian doctrines, particularly the deity of Jesus Christ, the concept of atonement, and the notion of eternal punishment. She argues that a thorough understanding of the Bible often leads to heretical thoughts, as the inconsistencies and contradictions within the scriptures become apparent. Besant's skepticism was further fueled by personal experiences, such as the illness of her daughter, which prompted deeper questioning of the nature of suffering and the love of God. Her studies extended beyond Christianity to other religions, including Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism, leading her to conclude that change is universal and not confined to any single faith. The essays also critique the reliance on miracles and prophecy as evidence of Jesus's divinity, suggesting that such claims are insufficient and often contradicted by historical and scriptural analysis. Besant's work is a testament to her intellectual rigor and commitment to truth, as she navigates the complex landscape of faith, ultimately finding solace and hope in atheism. Her writings encourage readers to question established beliefs and seek a deeper understanding of spirituality and morality. 250 pp. Englisch.…
