In 1781, Immanuel Kant published his first and most famous work, the "Critique of Pure Reason". To the German philosopher's dismay, the work was at first poorly received and largely misunderstood by his readers. As a result, two years later Kant produced his "Prolegomena to any Future Metaphysics that will be Able to Present Itself as a Science" to serve as an introduction to the "Critique". He restated the main ideas of his philosophy in what Schopenhauer,...

The decline of religion and ever increasing influence of science pose acute ethical issues for us all. Can we reject the literal truth of the Gospels yet still retain a Christian morality? Can we defend any 'moral values' against the constant encroachments of technology? Indeed, are we in danger of losing most of the qualities which make us truly human? Here, drawing on a novelist's insight into art, literature and abnormal psychology, Iris Murdoch...

We live in an age of disenchantment. The number of self-professed "atheists" continues to grow. Yet many still feel an intense spiritual longing for a connection to what Aristotle called the "eternal and divine." For those who do, but demand a God that is compatible with their modern ideals, a new theology is required. This is what Anthony Kronman offers here, in a book that leads its readers away from the inscrutable Creator of the Abrahamic religions...

La poésie n'est pas seulement une histoire de phonétique, où les mots ont du rythme, et les phrases une structure stricte. La poésie c'est surtout le sens, où chaque phrase est comme un acteur jouant un rôle, pour un public avide de sensations. Le secret de cette mise en scène est de stimuler l'imagination du lecteur, de façon à lui permettre d'élaborer chaque scénario présent dans ses rêves. La poésie est véritablement la faculté...

I was born in 1947, "The Year of the UFO," and it only got more interesting from there. My mom said that when I was little, I would "say the oddest things." They weren't odd to me, though. You mean, everybody doesn't see The City of Light in the sky? Nor fly all over town at night, having some trouble clearing the power lines, or float up out of bed and bump their nose on the ceiling? Everybody is not on a quest for The Lost Knowledge, and if not,...
