The Things in Heaven and Earth: Exploring the Supernatural
by Harold Fickett, Ed
New. ''A numberless series of sayings and lives of the saints bears witness to the reality of the light, so that one would have to be mad to deny the certainty of these appearances of the light that is full of grace'' (Pavel Florensky, in The Pillar and Ground of the Truth). Well, if not mad, then at least forgetful, or numb, or dull--and certainly all of us but a chosen few share in one of these conditions most the time. Hence the great value of a collection such as this, which reminds in ...

New. These days, despising America and Americans is a favorite international (and even national) pastime. What many people may not realize, suggest Barry and Judith Rubin, is that an historical continuity and evolution of anti-Americanism coincides with the foundation and development of the United States from its discovery by European explorers and subsequent independence from these same European powers. Co-authors of an acclaimed political biography of Yasir Arafat and widely regarded for ...

New. Is the ''evangelical print culture'' of the nineteenth century worthy of an entire volume? As Candy Gunther Brown, a professor of American studies at St. Louis University, puts it, ''The Word became incarnate in American culture by the 1850s as publishers demonstrated its relevance to diverse cultural settings, ranging from the refined Victorian parlor to the rough-hewn frontier farm. '' She argues that historians of this period have too easily overlooked this ''theology of ...

The Nature of Melancholy: From Aristotle to Kristeva $40.00 Description: New. As centuries pass, diverging meanings of melancholy accumulate and coexist, generating an intriguing, if puzzling, sense of ambiguity and resonance. According to philosophy professor Jennifer Radden, 'Melancholy is both a normal disposition and a sign of mental disturbance; it is both a feeling and a way of behaving. It is a nebulous mood but also a set of self-accusing beliefs. ' The medical and scientific systemization of depression focuses these ambiguities to the extent that ... Read More |

$16.00 Description: New. In the current intellectual climate, naturalism is overwhelmingly considered the philosophically correct framework for nearly all areas of philosophical inquiry. Consensus, however, has yet to be attained as to what is meant by 'naturalism' or even 'nature. ' Stewart Goetz and Charles Taliaferro's aim in this compact study is the exposition of the promise and perils of contemporary naturalism, taking into account competing definitions and challenging its almost unquestioned primacy and ...

$35.00 Description: New. The dust jacket says this book might be considered Steiner's magnum opus, and we don't doubt it; trouble is, it seems that all of his books somehow merit that description. Which of them lacks his breadth of literary and philosophical awareness, his intuition of the preciousness of great literature, the precariousness of its existence, and even more our ability to worthily comprehend it? More, his horror in the face of the obscenity of those who did acknowledge and comprehend it and yet ... Read More |
