Sinopse

David Hume: The Collected Works presents a comprehensive anthology of the philosophical writings of one of the most pivotal figures of the Scottish Enlightenment. This meticulously curated collection includes seminal texts such as *A Treatise of Human Nature* and *An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding*, showcasing Hume's distinctive empiricist approach and his skepticism towards metaphysical speculations. Through clear, accessible prose enriched by a masterful command of language, Hume invites readers into profound explorations of human psychology, morality, and epistemology, contextually situated within the intellectual currents of 18th-century thought. David Hume (1711-1776), a Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist, is celebrated for his pioneering contributions to modern philosophy, particularly in the realm of empiricism and naturalism. Influenced by the Enlightenment's rational spirit, Hume's works reflect a deep inquiry into the nature of knowledge and belief, often questioning the very foundations of causality and the self. His background in law and history, combined with a keen interest in human nature, profoundly shaped his philosophical legacy. This collection is an essential resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy, offering insights into Hume's critical examination of human intuition and belief systems. It invites readers to engage with timeless questions about the nature of existence, reason, and the limits of human understanding, making it a vital addition to any philosophical library.

    Men of Action

    After his father, Saul, undergoes brain surgery and slips into a coma, Howard Akler begins to reflect on Saul's life, the complicated texture of consciousness, and Akler's struggles with writing and his own unpredictable mind. With echoes of Paul Auster's The Invention of Solitude and Philip Roth's Patrimony, Men of Action treads the line between memoir and meditation, and is at once elegiac, spare, and profoundly intimate.
       
    'Like Harley J. Spiller’s Keep the Change, Howard Akler’s Men of Action similarly compresses a great deal – whole lives – into a very few pages … As might be expected, Men of Action delves into the father-son relationship, while also encompassing the father’s life, the parents’ marriage and the son’s youth in Toronto, where Mr. Akler still lives. But its more submerged subject is the act of writing itself, which is demonstrated with the carefully observed, resonant economy of poetry.'
       
    – The New York Times Holiday 2015 Gift Guide
       
    ‘What makes someone who they are? What details and actions explain their inner thoughts? What moments matter in the telling of a life? These are futile questions, but what matters is that Akler is asking them in a way we haven’t previously seen. Men of Action not only gracefully succeeds in depicting the nature of human tragedy, but the inherent failures of language to capture it. The book’s brevity is its strength – a genuine testament to the writer’s talent that he is able to take us so far with so little.'
       
    – Stacey May Fowles, The Globe and Mail
       
    ‘Men of Action is an insightful and heartbreaking exploration of consciousness, familial relationships, and the sense of self. As he and his family stand a restless vigil through his father's post-operative coma, Howard Akler explores and reorganizes the past, present, and future of his relationship with his father. Immensely relatable, this collection of essays delves fearlessly into loss, grief, and the understanding that often the moments in which we choose to be completely still are when we take the most important actions.’

    The Queen Mother

    Affectionately known as the Queen Mother, she was born a commoner and never expected to be Queen. Yet, her life was forever changed with the abdication of her brother-in-law, Edward VIII, and she rose to become one of the most popular royal figures. 
     
     
     
    Helen Cathcart's fascinatingly intimate account charts the life of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, from her birth and early years, to her courtship and marriage to the second son of King George V and Queen Mary, through the abdication crisis, and later period as Queen consort, before giving insight into the first forty years of her life as Queen Mother after her daughter, Elizabeth II, had ascended to the throne. 
     
     
     
    During her long life the Queen Mother witnessed numerous challenges to her nation, including two world wars and the decline of British power, yet, as Cathcart reveals, she remained an unwavering pillar of support to both her husband and her daughter through these difficult times. 
     
     
     
    Drawing information from family letters, royal journals, and the personal recollections, The Queen Mother is an exceptionally detailed picture of one of the most influential women of the twentieth century.

    "Some publishers tell you what to believe. Other publishers tell you what you already believe. But InterVarsity Press helps you believe."
    J. I. Packer
    The history of evangelicalism cannot be understood apart from the authors and books that shaped it. Over the past century, leading figures such as pastor-scholar John Stott, apologist James W. Sire, evangelist Rebecca Manley Pippert and spiritual formation writer Eugene Peterson helped generations of readers to think more biblically and engage the world around them. For many who take their Christianity seriously, books that equip them for a life of faith have frequently come from one influential publisher: InterVarsity Press.
    Andy Le Peau and Linda Doll provide a narrative history of InterVarsity Press, from its origins as the literature division of a campus ministry to its place as a prominent Christian publishing house. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the stories, people, and events that made IVP what it is today. Recording good times and bad, celebrations and challenges, they place IVP in its historical context and demonstrate its contribution to the academy, church and world.
    In honor of IVP's seventy-fifth anniversary, senior editor Al Hsu has updated this edition with new content, bringing the story up to 2022 and including stories about contemporary authors such as Esau McCaulley and Tish Harrison Warren. As IVP continues to adapt to changes in publishing and the global context, the mission of publishing thoughtful Christian books has not changed. IVP stands as a model of integrative Christianity for the whole person—heart, soul, mind and strength.

    Analytic Philosophy - Logic and...

    The historical context and influences of Analytic Philosophy can be traced through several key developments and intellectual movements that shaped its emergence and evolution. 
    In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the philosophical landscape was marked by significant shifts. The decline of Idealism, which had dominated the late 19th century, created a fertile ground for new approaches. The Idealist focus on metaphysical speculation and abstract notions of reality began to be challenged by a rising emphasis on scientific and empirical methods. 
    Central to the rise of Analytic Philosophy was the development of formal logic. Gottlob Frege, in the late 19th century, revolutionized logic with his introduction of predicate logic, laying a foundational framework that would deeply influence subsequent philosophers. His work aimed to clarify the logical structure of language and mathematics, setting the stage for a new approach to philosophical problems. 
    The early 20th century saw the emergence of Logical Positivism, a movement spearheaded by the Vienna Circle, which included philosophers such as Moritz Schlick, Rudolf Carnap, and A.J. Ayer. This movement sought to apply the methods of formal logic and empirical science to philosophical problems, rejecting metaphysical claims as meaningless. The Logical Positivists aimed to develop a philosophy that was both scientifically rigorous and free from speculative metaphysics.
