The Philosophy of History - Enriched edition

Friedrich von Schlegel

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "The Philosophy of History," Friedrich von Schlegel intricately weaves a narrative exploring the evolution of human consciousness and cultural paradigms through history. Employing a dialectical style that combines Romantic sensibilities with deep philosophical inquiry, Schlegel delves into the interplay between individual agency and collective momentum. His text serves not only as a historical analysis but also as a reflection on the meaning of history itself, thus situating it within the broader intellectual currents of the early 19th century, where Enlightenment ideals began to recede in favor of Romanticist emphasis on emotion, intuition, and the subjective experience of time. Friedrich von Schlegel, a prominent figure in German Romanticism, was deeply influenced by the intellectual and cultural upheavals of his time. His engagement with diverse philosophical traditions, including German idealism and Eastern thought, informed his pursuit to reconcile history with the human spirit. Schlegel's experiences as a poet, critic, and philosopher enriched his perspective, allowing him to argue for a more interconnected understanding of time and history, reflecting humanity's ongoing quest for identity and meaning amidst chaos. "The Philosophy of History" is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of philosophy, history, and literature. Schlegel's articulate prose and profound insights challenge readers to reconsider their understanding of historical narratives and their implications on contemporary society. It is a compelling invitation to explore the depths of human experience against the backdrop of evolving time.

Redress: Ireland's Institutions...

Katherine O'Donnell

How will Ireland redress its legacy of institutional abuse? What constitutes justice? What is Transitional Justice? How might democracy evolve if survivors' experiences and expertise were allowed to lead the response to a century of gender- and family separation-based abuses? REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seeks the answers. This collection explores the ways in which Ireland – North and South – treats those who suffered in Magdalene Laundries, Mother and Baby Homes, County Homes, industrial and reformatory schools, and in a closed and secretive adoption system, over the last 100 years. The essays focus on the structures which perpetuated widespread and systematic abuses in the past and consider how political arrangements continue to exert power over survivors, adopted people and generations of relatives, as well as controlling the remains and memorialisation of the dead. As we mark the centenary of both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice forensically examines the two states' so-called 'redress' schemes and investigations, and the statements of apology that accompanied them. With diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection considers how a Transitional Justice-based, survivor-centred, approach might assist those personally affected, policy makers, the public, and academics to evaluate the complex ways in which both the Republic and Northern Ireland (and other states in a comparative context) have responded to their histories of institutionalisation and family separation. Importantly, the essays collected in REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seek to offer avenues by which to redress this legacy of continuing harms.

The Editors are donating all royalties in the name of survivors and all those affected by Ireland's carceral institutions and family separation to the charity Empowering People in Care (EPIC).

Only Ram - Neem Karoli Baba

Sripad Jaganantha Das

Neem Karoli Baba or Maharaj-ji - was a guru, mystic, and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti-yoga and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God.

He has been known by different names, through the years. He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke.

Maharaj-ji’s teachings were simple and universal. He often said, “Sub Ek” — All is One. He taught us to “love everyone, serve everyone, remember God, and tell the truth.” Strongly connected to Hanuman, Maharaj-ji taught in a non-traditional way that reflected the bhakti path of the heart. Here is the essence of his remarkable life and teachings

Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His '70s iconic book, Be Here Now, turned on a generation to the deep, nonsectarian spirituality within us all. Krishna Das is an American vocalist known for performing Vedic devotional music known as kirtan. Bhagavan Das is an American yogi who lived in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. He is a bhakti yogi, kirtan singer, spiritual teacher, and writer. Baba Hari Dass practiced continual silence since 1952. This is the true story of each of the spiritual "Gang of four" and their master and deep inspiration Neem Karol Baba.
