An apprentice of the mage they had destroyed earlier, now threatens Inherian once again. But when Mexia arrives at Langdon to become school trained, she learns the school will not permit a woman to attend. But she must destroy the mage’s apprentice, and she cannot do so without the training. She must use the magic she has learned to discover a way to defeat the apprentice before it is too late. Mexia has already done much more than most school- trained mages when she and her companions had gone in search of the scepter of salvation. But now one of the apprentices of the evil wizard they had destroyed, has stolen his spell book and plans to take up where he had left off, and she has to try and stop him. Mexia believes the only way for her to defeat the mage is to become school trained like he was with the eventual goal of becoming a high wizard–the first of her kind in Inherian. But the current headmaster denies her entrance because she’s a woman. Though if she can get the former headmaster’s recommendation, she may attend. And that’s the beginning of the trouble.

Delphi Collected Works of Soren Kierkegaard (Illustrated)
Author: Soren Kierkegaard
Publisher: Delphi Classics
ISBN: 1801701490
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 4435
Book Description
A nineteenth century Danish philosopher and theologian, Søren Kierkegaard was a major influence on the development of existentialism and Protestant theology. He attacked the literary, philosophical and ecclesiastical establishments of his day for misrepresenting the highest task of human existence—becoming oneself in an ethical and religious sense. His critical works on organised religion, Christianity, morality, ethics and psychology reveal a fondness for metaphor, irony and parables. Many of his philosophical essays deal with how one lives as a “single individual”, giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking, while highlighting the importance of personal choice. This eBook presents Kierkegaard’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare translations, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Kierkegaard’s life and works * Concise introductions to the treatises * All the major essays, with individual contents tables * Images of how the books were first published, giving your eReader a taste of the original texts * Excellent formatting of the texts * Rare translations by David F. Swenson, Lillian Marvin Swenson and Walter Lowrie, digitised here for the first time * Includes the seminal autobiography– available in no other collection * Features a bonus biography – discover Kierkegaard’s intriguing life * Ordering of texts into chronological order and genres CONTENTS: The Books Either/Or (1843) Fear and Trembling (1843) Repetition (1843) Upbuilding Discourses (1844) Philosophical Fragments (1844) The Concept of Dread (1844) Three Discourses on Imagined Occasions (1845) Stages on Life’s Way (1845) Works of Love (1847) Christian Discourses (1848) The Lilies of the Field and the Birds of the Air (1849) Three Discourses at the Communion on Fridays (1849) The Sickness unto Death (1849) Selections from the Writings of Kierkegaard (1923) The Autobiography The Point of View for my Work as an Author (1851) The Biography Introduction to Kierkegaard (1923) by Lee M.

Søren Kierkegaard
Author: Elmer H. Duncan
Publisher: Hendrickson Publishers
ISBN: 1619708140
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), little known or read outside of Denmark in his own day, has come to be widely appreciated for his affirmation of the Christian faith and his critique of the human condition. He is responsible for one of the major currents of twentieth-century thought, existentialism, which emphasizes the priority of existence over essence. Christian existentialism appropriated his insights for theology and ethics, stressing human experience, freedom, and the commitment of faith. Elements of his approach are found in Karl Barth, Paul Tillich, Emil Brunner, Rudolf Bultmann, Reinhold Niehuhr, and Karl Rahner. Kierkegaard tried to clarify for his contemporaries the nature of Christianity, stressing that no philosophical system could explain the human condition. He emphasized the subjectivity of truth and could not refrain from attacking the cold formality and indifference of the state church of his day. In this book, Dr. Duncan guides the reader critically and skillfully through Kierkegaard's life and works. Book jacket.

Soren Kierkegaard and the Common Man
Author: Jorgen Bukdahl
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725225069
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Originally published in 1961, this study challenges the stereotype of Kierkegaard as being socially aloof and politically conservative. Bukdahl does a through job of contextualizing Kierkegaard in nineteenth-century Denmark, shedding light on his relationships with his family, various religious groups, and the leading intellectual figures of his time. At the same time, Kierkegaards fundamental interest in the plight of "the common man" is revealed both from his writings and his social encounters. In addition to crafting a fine translation, Bruce Kirmmse has expanded the usefulness of Bukdahl's work by including a significant biographical introduction, informative notes identifying events and figures referenced in the text, and a guide pointing readers to English translations of all of Kierkegaard's writings.

Cross and Scepter
Author: Sverre Bagge
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069116908X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
A concise history of medieval Scandinavia Christianity and European-style monarchy—the cross and the scepter—were introduced to Scandinavia in the tenth century, a development that was to have profound implications for all of Europe. Cross and Scepter is a concise history of the Scandinavian kingdoms from the age of the Vikings to the Reformation, written by Scandinavia's leading medieval historian. Sverre Bagge shows how the rise of the three kingdoms not only changed the face of Scandinavia, but also helped make the territorial state the standard political unit in Western Europe. He describes Scandinavia’s momentous conversion to Christianity and the creation of church and monarchy there, and traces how these events transformed Scandinavian law and justice, military and administrative organization, social structure, political culture, and the division of power among the king, aristocracy, and common people. Bagge sheds important new light on the reception of Christianity and European learning in Scandinavia, and on Scandinavian history writing, philosophy, political thought, and courtly culture. He looks at the reception of European impulses and their adaptation to Scandinavian conditions, and examines the relationship of the three kingdoms to each other and the rest of Europe, paying special attention to the inter-Scandinavian unions and their consequences for the concept of government and the division of power. Cross and Scepter provides an essential introduction to Scandinavian medieval history for scholars and general readers alike, offering vital new insights into state formation and cultural change in Europe.

THE SICKNESS UNTO DEATH - S. Kierkegaard
Author: Soren Kierkegaard
Publisher: Lebooks Editora
ISBN: 6558943409
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, born in Copenhagen (1813–1855), was a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, and social critic, widely considered the first existentialist philosopher. Throughout his life, he wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christianity, morality, ethics, psychology, and philosophy of religion, displaying a particular fondness for figures of speech such as metaphor, irony, and allegory. His work " The Sickness Unto Death" (Sygdommen til Døden in Danish), written in 1849 under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, deals with the concept of despair, equating it with the Christian concept of sin. Many of the themes explored in this work demonstrate an undeniable connection with the topics later explored by Freud.
