Book Description
They came to this world from another realm, with the sole purpose of making humans good. Once here they dwelt amongst the natives in various ancient societies until they found satisfaction and like-minds with the Cathars of southern France. Thus, they adopted much from the Cathar lifestyle as ascetics, Credentes and Parfaits. Once labelled as saints and their works miracles, they turned their skills to more mundane matters. Centuries of this pedestrian lifestyle left them ill-equipped for dealing with the only enemy aware of their existence in the modern world. When hell came to earth, it was a man they rejected, Guy Edrich, a half-breed they judged unworthy of them, who became the only capable defender of humankind.

Author: David Ward

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This book is an in-depth analysis of three of the most crucial years in twentieth-century Italian history, the years 1943-46. After more than two decades of a Fascist regime and a disastrous war experience during which Italy changed sides, these years saw the laying of the political and cultural foundations for what has since become known as Italy's First Republic. Drawing on texts from the literature, film, journalism, and political debate of the period, Antifascisms offers a thorough survey of the personalities and positions that informed the decisions taken in this crucial phase of modern Italian history.

Bergsonism
Author: Gilles Deleuze
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
In this analysis of one major philosopher by another, Gilles Deleuze identifies three pivotal concepts - duration, memory, and lan vital - that are found throughout Bergson's writings and shows the relevance of Bergson's work to contemporary philosophical debates. He interprets and integrates these themes into a single philosophical program, arguing that Bergson's philosophical intentions are methodological. They are more than a polemic against the limitations of science and common sense, particularly in Bergson's elaboration of the explanatory powers of the notion of duration - thinking in terms of time rather than space.

The Consolation of Philosophy (Sedgefield translation)
Author: Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Consolation of Philosophy (Latin: Consolatio Philosophiae) is a philosophical work by Boethius, written around the year 524. It has been described as the single most important and influential work in the West on Medieval and early Renaissance Christianity, and is also the last great Western work of the Classical Period. Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius, commonly called Boethius (c. 480–524 or 525 AD), was a philosopher of the early 6th century. He was born in Rome to an ancient and prominent family which included emperors Petronius Maximus and Olybrius and many consuls. His father, Flavius Manlius Boethius, was consul in 487 after Odoacer deposed the last Western Roman Emperor. Boethius, of the noble Anicia family, entered public life at a young age and was already a senator by the age of 25. Boethius himself was consul in 510 in the kingdom of the Ostrogoths. In 522 he saw his two sons become consuls. Boethius was imprisoned and eventually executed by King Theodoric the Great, who suspected him of conspiring with the Eastern Roman Empire. While jailed, Boethius composed his Consolation of Philosophy, a philosophical treatise on fortune, death, and other issues. The Consolation became one of the most popular and influential works of the Middle Ages.
