Summary

In "The Philosophy of Right and Law," Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel provides a profound synthesis of philosophy, ethics, and politics, exploring the intricate relationships between individual freedom, social institutions, and the state. This seminal work articulates a systematic approach to understanding law as an expression of the ethical life (Sittlichkeit) of a society, emphasizing the dialectical progression of freedom. With a literary style that combines rigorous logical argumentation with philosophical depth, Hegel situates his ideas within the context of post-Enlightenment political thought, addressing challenges posed by concepts of individual rights and collective governance in a rapidly transforming Europe. Hegel, a central figure in German Idealism, was profoundly influenced by the tumultuous social and political landscapes of his time, including the Napoleonic Wars and the rise of modernity. His engagement with Kantian philosophy and subsequent radical thinkers informed his exploration of the dynamic interplay between freedom and authority, which he articulates with both clarity and complexity in this influential text. Hegel's philosophical inquiry reflects his ambition to reconcile individual rights with communal values, aiming to articulate a comprehensive vision of ethical life. "The Philosophy of Right and Law" is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of contemporary political thought and legal theory. Hegel's insights into the relationship between personal freedoms and societal frameworks remain strikingly relevant today, making this work not only a philosophical cornerstone but also a crucial resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the ongoing discourse around ethics and governance.

    Hastings Rashdall (1858–1924) was not only one of the leading churchmen of his time, whose opinion on a range of issues carried weight and influence; he also made substantial and lasting contributions to three fields of knowledge –history, philosophy, and theology. Yet he is not much remembered in today’s Church, although the concerns he addressed and the solutions he proposed still have relevance to the challenges of articulating an intellectually convincing and spiritually satisfying Christian faith in the modern world.

 
This book, written to mark the centenary of Rashdall’s death, provides a brief and clear introduction to his thought, set in the historical context of his life and time. The opening chapters provide a biographical framework, drawing extensively on archival research. They are followed by separate accounts of his historical, philosophical, and theological work, concentrating on his many publications.

 
Theory and practice come together in an exploration of Rashdall’s engagement with public life, and the book concludes with an assessment of what he might have to offer to today’s Church.

    The famous author Honoré de Balzac used to say after sex “there goes another novel!” 
Taking it literally, J. M. Tolcher sets out to write an entire book without ejaculating—an experiment in sublimation, desire, and control.  
In just over a month, he attempts to channel his libido into art, diving into the ancient alchemical process—nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, rubedo—in a relentless search for meaning. 
But what begins as a test of discipline becomes something far more dangerous. Libido, after all, isn’t just about sex. It’s the unseen force shaping power structures, fueling authoritarianism, and dictating the fate of the world itself. 
Where does repressed desire go? What happens when it’s not sublimated? And can a man truly master his own urges—or does libido always find a way? 
Tolcher returns to form as Australia’s hottest underground writer with another chronicle as cerebral as it is carnal, as philosophical as it is depraved.

    “This book is must reading . . . although it will at times shock and perhaps even offend the sensibilities of traditional therapists.” —American Journal of Psychiatry This book brings together Erich Fromm’s basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism.The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud’s doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions, and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large. “This collection is a fine representative sampling from a lucid, humane, always attractive writer.” —Kirkus Reviews “Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
