Leviathan

Anonym

Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, commonly referred to as Leviathan, is a book written by Thomas Hobbes (15881679) and published in 1651 (revised Latin edition 1668). Its name derives from the biblical Leviathan. The work concerns the structure of society and legitimate government, and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory. Written during the English Civil War (16421651), it argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. Hobbes wrote that civil war and the brute situation of a state of nature ("the war of all against all") could be avoided only by a strong, undivided government.

Knights and Chivalry - The...

Harris Ropes

Chivalry, a code of conduct and a set of ideals, emerged during the early Middle Ages, forming the backbone of the knightly order and defining the conduct of warriors across Europe. The origins of chivalry can be traced back to the feudal system, where the role of the knight was essential in maintaining the social and political structure of the time. Knights were initially seen as mounted warriors serving a lord or king, and their duties were deeply intertwined with the political and military landscapes of medieval society.
The concept of chivalry grew from various sources, including the martial traditions of early medieval Europe, the influence of the church, and the rising importance of courtly love in literature. Early codes of conduct, though not uniform, emphasized qualities such as bravery, loyalty, and honor. These ideals were primarily martial in nature, as knights were expected to protect their lords and lands from invaders. Over time, however, the influence of Christianity began to shape the code of chivalry, adding elements of piety, mercy, and the protection of the weak.
One of the key influences in the development of chivalry was the rise of feudalism. As the Roman Empire fell and Europe entered a period of fragmentation, the feudal system became the dominant form of social and economic organization. Lords granted land to vassals in exchange for military service, and knights became essential for the protection of these lands. This system encouraged the development of a warrior class that was bound by loyalty and honor, principles that would later become central to chivalric codes.

Essentials of Daoism -...

James Legge, Lionel Giles, Lao...

This book comprises five classic works of Chinese mysticism. Culturally, these are the companion works to Confucius’ thoughts, as expanded by Mencius. Confucianism is very much the Apollonian side of Chinese culture. It focuses on matters of ethics, hierarchy, responsibility, and social obligation. Daoism is the other side of the coin, focused on abstraction and uncertainty. 
The two translators included in this volume were very different men. While they wrote in the same period, their audiences were distinct from one another, and this comes through in their differing approaches to the original texts they are working with. One was a missionary, looking to ensure that his fellow spreaders of the word could understand as completely and correctly as possible the culture that they had come into. The other was a curator at the British Museum, who popularized the first English translations for a thoroughly domestic market.
