Hardback. Condizione: New. "Jane Ellen Harrison, the maverick Cambridge classicist and celebrity public intellectual . . . cultivated a distinctive brand of quirky and memorable outspokenness . . . with her sparky wit and refusal to be silenced . . . She remains my hero . . . She has remained the iron in my soul." -Mary Beard, London Review of BooksFrom Marginalian Editions: a far-seeing essay collection by the iconoclastic historian Jane Ellen Harrison-heroine to generations of writers from Virginia Woolf to Mary Beard-that explores the invisible tendrils between science and the sacred, the psychology of bias, the fulcrum of progress, and the countercultural courage of changing our minds in light of new understanding.Alpha and Omega is the culminating work of Jane Ellen Harrison, the maverick Cambridge classicist who reshaped our understanding of ancient Greek culture and pioneered a radical vision of faith, imagination, and progress. Declaring herself a "deeply religious atheist," Harrison rejected the confines of dogma to explore faith as the human capacity to transcend the known and imagine the possible. This collection of essays-published at the dawn of World War I-unpacks the invisible connections between science and spirituality, individual belief and collective consciousness, and reason and love as forces for societal transformation. With wit and daring, Harrison dismantles the binaries that divide us-young and old, feminine and masculine, sacred and profane-revealing how these tensions, when reconciled, can catalyze change.As Maria Popova writes in her introduction, Harrison's essays are an "act of faith toward the future and an act of heresy toward the status quo," challenging us to rethink our biases, beliefs, and most deeply held assumptions. From the influence of Darwinism on religion to the psychology of conversion, from the evolution of gender roles to the ethics of pacifism, Alpha and Omega is a timeless guide to the imagination and courage required to live through an age of division and uncertainty.…
