Sinossi

 Excerpt from An Account of Abimelech Coody: And Other Celebrated Writers of New-York in a Letter From a Traveller, to His Friend in South Carolina: "At the head of the list is a venerable old gentle man from Scotland. He has published more books than any other writer in New York. His History of Man and of All Nations are curious, and are pronounced by good judges to contain more solid information than the History of New York by Knickerbocker. His Mental Flower Garden is a very agreeable present to young persons and his Magazine of Wonders has a more extensive circulation than any other periodical performance. This worthy old gentleman sometimes sacrifices to the muses, and indeed it is believed that the Lay of the Scottish Fiddle owes some of its best lines to his munificence."

    Essay Concerning Human...

    "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" is a philosophical work written by John Locke in the late 17th century. It is one of the most influential works in the history of Western philosophy and is considered a cornerstone of modern empiricism. 
    In this book, Locke sets out to explore the nature and limits of human knowledge, arguing that all knowledge is derived from experience, either through our senses or through reflection on our own mental processes. He rejects the idea of innate ideas or knowledge that we are born with, instead proposing that the mind at birth is like a blank slate or "tabula rasa" that is gradually filled with knowledge through experience. 
    Locke also examines the nature of language and how it relates to our ability to reason and understand the world. He argues that language is essential for human thought and that it shapes the way we perceive and understand the world around us. 
    Another important aspect of Locke's philosophy is his theory of personal identity. He argues that our sense of self is not based on any underlying substance or soul, but rather on a continuity of consciousness and memory. 
    Overall, "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" is a profound and influential work that continues to shape modern philosophical thought. It explores many of the fundamental questions about human knowledge and perception that still occupy philosophers today.

    Queering Contemplation - Finding...

    The world of contemplative Christianity has yielded to the same voices for far too long, many of whom are from centuries before our time, with lives unlike our own, and often from experiences disconnected from marginalization, oppression, and what it feels like to be an outsider. 
     
     
     
    Cassidy Hall, an LGBTQIA+ Christian contemplative scholar and podcast host, takes us on a journey to queer the contemplative tradition. 
     
     
     
    As queerness reawakened her own contemplative life, Hall discovered that queering and questioning the tradition allowed her to listen more closely to voices that are queer, marginalized, and oppressed. In showing us the way, she helps us envision what contemplative faith can look like, what spiritual spaces we can reclaim for welcome—and how queering contemplation, and lifting up queer contemplative voices, frees us to seek the infinite possibility of our own identity and engage our spiritual lives with open hearts and open hands. 
     
     
     
    Whether you're queer or want to queer your own perspectives, Hall throws open the doors of contemplative spirituality for all, bringing us to contemplation in very new, sometimes old, but always queer ways.

    Against the Grain - How Farmers...

    Farmers in some of the world's oldest agricultural areas were toiling year after year, only to find that modern industrial agriculture was turning on itself. Industrial agriculture's effects on our climate and environment were multiplying and worsening, until the very families growing the world's food were starving. 
     
     
     
    They terraced the land to catch more rainwater and prevent soil runoff; they planted a diverse range of vegetables that would balance the nutrients in the soil; they replaced commercial fertilizers with organic matter from their own farms; they planted more trees and drought-resistant grains; and, perhaps most importantly, they taught their communities by example that these regenerative farming methods paid off—both in nourishing their families and in bringing their land back to life. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning author and journalist Roger Thurow has traveled to Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, India, Guatemala, Peru, and the United States to share their stories, highlighting the conflicts inherent in our most important human endeavor: feeding the world using the methods of industrial agriculture is stripping the land of its ability to feed future generations. But these farmers are starting a new kind of revolution, nourishing both humans and the land, and following their lead could help us solve one of the great crises of our time.
