Excerpt from Notes Taken During the Expedition Commanded by Capt. R. B. Marcy, U. S. A. Through Unexplored Texas, in the Summer and Fall of 1854 These desultory Notes, taken merely to refresh my memory when recurring. To scenes so fraught, to me, with interesting reminiscences, would never have met the public eye had it not been for the kind and flattering solicitations of friends who have perused my journal; and if, by putting them in print, I can excite one-half the interest and pleasure with the general reader which the expedition gave me, I shall be amply repaid for the time spent and the care taken in writing my book.

Interpreting the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century was in large part the work of Jonathan Edwards; whose writings on the subject defined the revival tradition in America. Moving from sensitive descriptions of "the Surprising work of God" in conversion to a consuming quest for the essence of true religion, and threading his way through mounting controversies over "errors in doctrine and disorders in practice," Edwards sought to locate an authentic core of evangelical experience, to define it in terms of biblical faith and psychological insight, and to defend it against both overheated zealous and rationalistic critics. The tracts that unfold his thoughts, presented here (with related correspondence ) for the first time in accurate critical texts, document a movement so significant for the American character that it has been called "our national conversion." In a carefully researched introduction, C.C. Goen identifies the "Arminian threat"...

A guide to identifying, nurturing and growing our insight and creativity for more effective thinking. We know that our minds are capable of great things because, every now and then, they come out with a very brilliant idea or two. However, our minds are also tantalisingly unpredictable, spending worryingly large stretches of time idling or distracting themselves. This is a book about how to optimise these beautiful yet fitful instruments so that they can more regularly and generously produce the sort of insights and ideas we need to fulfil our potential - and achieve the contentment we deserve. We learn - among other things - how to grasp fragile and flighty thoughts before they disappear through anxiety and fear, at what times of day to try to work and for how long, how to make use of our boredom and instincts - and how to overcome timid and predictable approaches to the largest problems.

Jacob Needleman börjar sin undersökning av kärleken där andra ofta slutar: Vad händer när förälskelsen och passionen svalnat? Myter och historier erbjuder oss insikter om eldfägnd kärlek: förälskelse, svartsjuka, otrohet. Men vår kultur saknar myter och historier, som kan vägleda oss i den uthålliga kärleken, där två människor lever ett helt liv samman. Vilket är syftet med denna typ av kärlek? Och vad är dess värde? Needleman ger oss en ny tolkning av varför två människor förenas i kärlek. Svaret är att två människor kan hjälpa varandra i det aldrig avslutade sökandet efter livets mening. Och han föreslår som modell för vårt tänkande och handlande, de sällsynta men sällsamma berättelserna om uthållig kärlek. Needleman behandlar här de stora livsfrågorna, som vi möter dem i vår egen vardag. Jacob Needleman är professor i filosofi vid San Francisco State University, inriktad på religionsfilosofi. Han har publicerat ett stort antal böcker. ...

In The Devil and Philosophy, 34 philosophers explore questions about one of the most recognizable and influential characters (villains?) of all time. From Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion to Bram Stoker's Dracula to Darth Vader to Al Pacino's iconic performance in The Devil's Advocate, this book demonstrates that a little devil goes a long way. From humorous appearances, as in Kevin Smith's film Dogma and Chuck Palahniuk's novels Damned and Doomed, to more villainous appearances, such as Gabriel Byrne's cold outing as Satan in End of Days, The Devil in Philosophy proves that the Devil comes in many forms. Are there any good arguments for the actual existence of the Devil? Does demonic evil thrive in Gotham City? Can humans really be accountable for all evil? Which truths about the Devil are actual facts? Is Milton correct, in that the Devil believes he is doing good? Through the lenses of Jung, Kant, Kundera, ...
