Synopsis

The Levellers: A Dialogue Between Two Young Ladies serves as a poignant exploration of radical political thought in 17th-century England, particularly during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War. Utilizing a dialogue format, the text presents two young women engaging in a spirited debate about egalitarian principles, civil rights, and the transformative potential of democratic governance. The literary style is characterized by a blend of philosophical inquiry and social commentary, reflecting the influences of Enlightenment ideals that were emerging at the time. Through their conversation, the text critiques conventional social hierarchies and advocates for a broader interpretation of liberty and justice. The authorship of this work remains anonymous, but its content suggests a keen awareness of the historical context in which it was written. It resonates with the ideals espoused by the Levellers, a political movement advocating for popular sovereignty and individual rights. The anonymity may reflect a cultural tension of the era, where dissenting voices navigated the delicate political landscape of their time, risking persecution for their beliefs. This book is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of gender, politics, and philosophy. Its rich dialogue offers valuable insights into early feminist thought and the radical questioning of authority. Readers will find itself a compelling invitation to reflect on the enduring relevance of these discussions in contemporary societal contexts.

    This biography of the Mexican revolutionary examines his rise from soldier to president to his continued influence as Jefe Maximo. Hailing from the border state of Sonora, Plutarco Elías Calles found his calling in the early years of the revolution, quickly rising to national prominence. As president from 1924 to 1928, Calles undertook an ambitious reform program, modernized the financial system, and defended national sovereignty against an interventionist U.S. government. Yet these reforms failed to eradicate underdevelopment, corruption, and social injustice. Moreover, his unyielding campaigns against political enemies and the Catholic Church earned him a reputation as a repressive strongman. After his term as president, Calles continued to exert broad influence as his country's foremost political figure while three weaker presidents succeeded each other in an atmosphere of constant political crisis. He played a significant role in founding a ruling party that reined in power-hungry military leaders and helped workers attain better living conditions. This dynastic party and its successors, including the present-day Partido Revolucionario Institucional (Party of the Institutional Revolution), remained in power until 2000. Through this comprehensive assessment of a quintessential Mexican politician, Buchenau opens an illuminating window into both the Mexican Revolution and contemporary Mexico.

    A magical grimoire of sigils and rituals for summoning and mastering spirits, The Key of Solomon the King is the most famous, or infamous, of all magick books. It has influenced everything from the revival of magick and the Western Mystery Traditions (tarot, alchemy, astrology, etc.) to fictional works such as Lovecraft’s The Necronomicon.Purported to have been penned by King Solomon himself, the book provides instruction for incantations, rituals, and sigils used to call upon and control spirits and demons. Those practicing magick have used it extensively through the centuries, but its true origins and purpose have been lost in the mists of time.No library of the contemporary occult student or practicing magician is complete without this tome. It remains a standard of esoteric lore by which others are measured. This edition includes a new foreword by noted esoteric scholar Joseph Peterson.

    The achievement of our humanity comes about only through immersion in concrete, visceral, embodied relational experience, yet for many human beings, that achievement is stamped by the struggle against oppression in history, society, and religion. In this incisive and important work, distinguished theologian M. Shawn Copeland demonstrates with rare insight and conviction how Black women's historical experience and oppression cast a completely different light on our theological ideas about being human. Copeland argues that race, embodiment, and relations of power reframe not only theological anthropology but also our notions of discipleship, church, Eucharist, and Christ. Enfleshing Freedom is a work of deep moral seriousness, rigorous speculative skill, and sharp theological reasoning. This new edition incorporates recent theological, philosophical, historical, political, and sociological scholarship; engages with current social movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo; and presents a new chapter on the body.
