On Conciliation with America

Edmund Burke

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "On Conciliation with America," Edmund Burke articulates a compelling argument for understanding and reconciling with the American colonies during the escalating tensions leading to the Revolutionary War. Written in 1775, Burke employs eloquent rhetoric and philosophical reasoning, drawing on classical traditions and Enlightenment principles to advocate for a conciliatory approach rather than conflict. The text exemplifies Burke's literary style, characterized by its eloquence and emotional appeal, as he navigates the complexities of governance and colonial autonomy, ultimately calling for an acknowledgment of shared values and mutual respect between Britain and America. Edmund Burke, a prominent Irish statesman and philosopher, is often regarded as a forerunner of modern conservatism. His extensive political career and interest in social justice and governance deeply influenced his writing. Witnessing the early seeds of rebellion in America, Burke felt a profound sense of duty to address the British Parliament on the need for understanding, reflecting his belief in the importance of moderation and the underlying principles of liberty, justice, and order. "On Conciliation with America" remains a pivotal read for anyone interested in the foundations of political philosophy and the historical context of American independence. Burke's insights not only resonate with contemporary discussions on governance and civil society but also serve as a reminder of the power of dialogue in the face of division.

The New Science of Politics - An...

Eric Voegelin

“Thirty-five years ago few could have predicted that The New Science of Politics would be a best-seller by political theory standards. Compressed within the Draconian economy of the six Walgreen lectures is a complete theory of man, society, and history, presented at the most profound and intellectual level. . . . Voegelin’s [work] stands out in bold relief from much of what has passed under the name of political science in recent decades. . . . The New Science is aptly titled, for Voegelin makes clear at the outset that a ’return to the specific content’ of premodern political theory is out of the question. . . . The subtitle of the book, An Introduction, clearly indicates that The New Science of Politics is an invitation to join the search for the recovery of our full humanity.”—From the new Foreword by Dante Germino“This book must be considered one of the most enlightening essays on the character of European politics that has appeared in half a century. . . . This is a book powerful and vivid enough to make agreement or disagreement with even its main thesis relatively unimportant.”—Times Literary Supplement“Voegelin . . . is one of the most distinguished interpreters to Americans of the non-liberal streams of European thought. . . . He brings a remarkable breadth of knowledge, and a historical imagination that ranges frequently into brilliant insights and generalizations.”—Francis G. Wilson, American Political Science Review“This book is beautifully constructed . . . his erudition constantly brings a startling illumination.”—Martin Wright, International Affairs

Book 1 Bricks that Build Us -...

Rob Howat

Ideas build and destroy civilizations. Things are not going well. The need for action is now. After thousands of years of human development, our humanity seems to be intent upon disassembling itself with WOKE, Politically Correct thought police, rejected lessons from history and art, ‘book burning’, minorities DICTATING how we live and what we MUST think, riots, homelessness or helplessness and political polarizations with open conflicts and theft in our streets. How to revitalize harmonious existence, individual respect, laws equally for us all, and spirituality either via religion or constructive logic. So to create the conditions for cooperative, harmonious, self-disciplined inter-personal life: a return to greater stability of both mind and action working together for the good of communities and an increasingly interdependent World Social Family. 
This building and rebuilding process will take generations, the current alternative will be humanity’s exit which would be both painful and permanent. This need not be. We each can learn so confidently form a renewal of our children’s real future but only by rebuilding our thought processes, awareness, and understanding with and through calm debate, discussion, and sharing of mind.  
Industry, agriculture, and the use of both people’s time and natural abilities matter greatly: smaller could well be far more beneficial. Creating public demand to raise output and income too often leads to waste and even harm while generating wealth for a minority, too many of whom are amoral or undeserving.  
What is reality other than what we decide it to be? All stems from family upbringing, mental inputs and experiences; educational practices, understood beliefs, the free flow of ideas; respecting other's thoughts, and community actions, which all coalesce into formed concepts and so beliefs. These and more build our minds, humour, fears and needs. These are the very Bricks that Build Us

Codebreakers - How Allied...

Sage Winters

The art of codebreaking has long been an essential aspect of warfare, serving as a hidden weapon that can change the course of history. During World War II, intelligence efforts were not only about gathering information; they were about deciphering the secrets encoded by the enemy to gain a strategic advantage. As technology evolved, so did the complexity of military ciphers, making the task of breaking enemy codes more challenging and more critical than ever. "Codebreakers: How Allied Intelligence Cracked Enemy Codes and the Tide" delves into the extraordinary efforts of Allied cryptographers, whose tireless work behind the scenes helped secure victories that shifted the balance of the war.
The importance of cryptography in World War II cannot be overstated. The ability to read an enemy’s messages before they had time to act was a decisive factor in numerous key battles and campaigns. The German Enigma machine, a sophisticated encryption device, represented the pinnacle of Nazi Germany’s efforts to protect its communications. Breaking this code was essential to the Allied success, and it was a challenge that seemed insurmountable at the time. However, a group of brilliant minds, including Alan Turing, led the charge in deciphering the Enigma cipher, providing the Allies with invaluable intelligence that allowed them to anticipate German movements, thwart attacks, and save countless lives.
At the heart of this monumental achievement was Bletchley Park, a secret British facility that became the epicenter of codebreaking during the war. Here, the brightest mathematicians, linguists, and engineers worked tirelessly, often under immense pressure, to crack the German and later the Japanese codes.
