Summary

In "The Philosophy of Life, and Philosophy of Language, in a Course of Lectures," Friedrich von Schlegel presents a profound exploration of the intersecting realms of existential thought and linguistic theory. Grounded in the Romantic tradition, Schlegel employs a distinctive literary style characterized by intellectual rigor and introspective depth. His lectures engage with the philosophical inquiries of life, articulating how language shapes human experience and consciousness. The text weaves together elements of German idealism and romanticism, reflecting the zeitgeist of early 19th-century philosophical discourse. Friedrich von Schlegel, a pivotal figure in the German Romantic movement, was substantially influenced by the intellectual milieu of his time. His experiences, which included deep engagements with literature, philosophy, and language, positioned him uniquely to address the complexities involved in human existence and expression. Renowned for his contributions to aesthetics and philosophy, Schlegel's insights are unified by his belief in the transformative power of art and language, which he argues are essential to understanding the metaphysical fabric of life itself. This book is a compelling read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of philosophy and literature alike. Schlegel's nuanced approach invites readers to reflect on how language constructs our reality and the pivotal role it plays in shaping our lives. For anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of language and existence, this text is an essential addition to their intellectual arsenal.

    Writing the Wisdom - Creative...

    Writing the Wisdom explores the effects and emotional impact that trauma and abuse have on a person's life whilst also bringing together religious, spiritual, pastoral and therapeutic understandings. In a partnership between a church minister and an accredited counsellor, Barbara Glasson and Penny Johnson have used “creative writing for wellbeing” with women survivors of childhood trauma, including organized ritual abuse, a subject that still remains largely hidden from our society.
    
    
     
    The poetry and prose that have been produced during these creative writing workshops may help those who have lived through such devastation to feel less isolated, by giving them the opportunity to read about others' experiences.
    
     
    Writing the Wisdom also explores church practices that are unhelpful for those who have experienced abuse. Language and litany, listening and witnessing, healing, forgiveness and wisdom are all discussed, in the hope of enabling faith communities to look more closely and honestly at our way of life and to be mindful of the difficulties that some survivors of childhood abuse face.

    Thank you for your interest in the French for  the intermediate level audioacourse by Audioacademyeu.  The course is aimed at advanced learners who have already learned English for  three or four years h and who should have almost fluent communication skills.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words but alsosentences in which you can use the words you have learned. In this course you will find you will find a total of 1,400 words and practice sentences.The individual lessons are organized by by topic and each contains a different number of words and sentences. The language level B2 is an intermediate level, so that most of the course is devoted to topics such as work, characteristics and activities, while while the topics like  travel, leisure and family are covered to a lesser extent,  as they have been covered more extensively in the previous parts of the course. In the last two lessons you will also find a large overview of the irregular verbs. What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in French, in track one you hear the  French word twice.Next, you have a  word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in French twice. Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into French (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. The script is divided thematically into three parts.  In the first part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to.  In the second part you will find the writing tests. For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen. The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English and Anne Christine Trochut. David Girten and Benjamin Jaquet in French. No AI generated voices have been used.Lesson 01_Activities 01Lesson 02_Activities 02Lesson 03_TravellingLesson 04_CommunicationLesson 05_WorkLesson 06_CommunityLesson 07_BodyLesson 08_CharacteristicsLesson 09_LeisureLesson 10_Inregular verbs_01Lesson 11_Irregular verbs_02
