Beschreibung

In "Impressions of Theophrastus Such," George Eliot presents a series of interconnected essays narrated by a fictional philosopher named Theophrastus, who explores human nature, morality, and the complexities of social relationships. Through a blend of keen observation and philosophical musings, Eliot employs a distinctive literary style marked by lyrical prose and rich character sketches. The work reflects the Victorian intellectual milieu, engaging with contemporary debates on psychology and ethics, and often challenges the reader to ponder the intricacies of personal and societal behavior. George Eliot, born Mary Ann Evans, was a pioneer of psychological realism, often drawing from her own struggles with identity and societal expectations. Her keen interest in philosophy, particularly German idealism and utilitarianism, profoundly influenced her writing. "Impressions of Theophrastus Such" showcases her commitment to examining the moral implications of human actions, a theme rooted in her own life experiences and philosophical inquiries, creating a tapestry that resonates with the existential questions of her time. Eliot's "Impressions of Theophrastus Such" is a timeless exploration of human nature and morality that will captivate readers interested in psychological depth and social critique. It offers profound insights into the human condition, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the interplay of individual character and societal norms in a rapidly changing world.

    The story of the woman destined for a millennium begins in an unassuming town, far removed from the glare of the modern world. Born in an era where tradition met the dawn of technological innovation, her arrival into the world was marked by a profound sense of wonder. Family and friends often recalled the unusual calmness that surrounded her birth, as if the universe had whispered its secrets into her soul. 
    From a young age, it was evident she was no ordinary child. While other infants stumbled through their milestones, she seemed to glide through them with ease. Her uncanny intelligence and serenity often left those around her in awe. Stories emerged of her ability to comprehend complex ideas long before she could even articulate them fully. Her parents, though proud, were often perplexed by the depth of her curiosity and the unusual insights she shared about life and time. 
    As she grew older, this sense of otherworldliness only deepened. Teachers noted her extraordinary memory and ability to absorb knowledge as if it were second nature. Yet, it wasn’t just her intellect that set her apart. She exhibited an almost preternatural physical vitality. Cuts healed faster, illnesses seemed to bypass her, and her energy rarely wavered, even during grueling tasks. What some dismissed as good fortune or strong genetics was, in truth, the first sign of something extraordinary—something that would come to define her life.

    It is the largest faith in the world, spans the globe, and stretches back in time nearly two thousand years. We are, of course, talking about Christianity.  
    Today, the dominance of the Christian faith appears to be a readily accepted fact. But back when it first rose to prominence, for most outside observers, such an idea would have seemed highly unlikely.  
    From its inception, Christianity was persecuted and hounded. Christians often paid a high price for their faith. They met underground and even in graveyards. They were misunderstood, and their message to outsiders seemed hopelessly strange and muddled. Back then, no one could have imagined that this “cult,” which often met in secret, small groups, would one day have huge churches and an even larger global presence. 
    Yet, despite the odds, Christianity proved to be unstoppable. How did such a thing happen? From the perspective of a believer, the answer to that question is quite clear: the divine hand of God was at work. But even if one does not subscribe to the Christian faith, there are certain aspects of Christianity that stand out and can be used as mile-markers as to how and why Christianity came to take such a prominent place in world history. 
    This audiobook takes a look at the full history of Christianity, from its earliest days as a persecuted sect to its acceptance and formalization at the Council of Nicaea to the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and the subsequent modern age.  
    In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The origins of Christianity and why people flocked to the religionThe life and ministry of JesusThe first Christian disciplesThe early Christian ChurchThe Council of Nicaea and the momentous impact it had on Christian historyAnd a whole lot more!

    "Slaby is the Yuval Noah Harari of media. He pointedly outlines the fracture of our culture and democracy while providing hopeful next steps for how we can redesign our systems for a more civically-minded world."
    
    —Megan Kiefer, author of The Third Dimension of Literacy
    A leader in digital communication and grassroots political campaigns explains how the internet and modern media have undermined America and how we can reclaim our voices for the good of civic life.
    The creators of the internet promised us jetpacks: better experiences, more choices, and deeper relationships.
    Built on a diversity of voices, our online freedom was supposed to spark a democratic transformation. But our platforms don't work for us—we're the inventory and our outrage fuels a tech revolution optimized for profit, not civic life.
    As one of the top digital strategists for Barack Obama's two presidential campaigns, Michael Slaby saw the beginning of a new kind of national division. What he witnessed would spawn the Tea Party movement, upset the 2016 election, and accelerate the polarization of American civic life.
    Slaby presents the four core areas which can be reclaimed to work better for all of us: platforms, government institutions, corporations, and even the users ourselves. Optimistic, future-focused, and deeply passionate, For ALL the People breaks down how we got here, and how we, the users, can work toward a better democracy through tech.
