Synopsis

In "Theodicy," Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz explores the complex relationship between the existence of evil and the benevolence of God, arguing for a rational framework that reconciles these seemingly contradictory concepts. Written in the early 18th century, this philosophical treatise showcases Leibniz's characteristic clarity and systematic reasoning, employing a blend of metaphysics, theology, and logic. He synthesizes rationalist thought with Christian doctrine, ultimately positing that our world, despite its imperfections, is the best of all possible worlds that God could create, thus providing a comprehensive defense of divine justice amidst human suffering. Leibniz, a prominent figure of the Enlightenment and a pioneer in various fields, including mathematics and philosophy, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous events of his time, including wars and plagues, which prompted his reflections on theodicy. His intellectual pursuits were rooted in a quest for harmony and rational understanding, as he sought to bridge gaps between faith and reason. Leibniz's unique background—encompassing scientific inquiry and philosophical discourse—shaped his argument in this seminal work. "Theodicy" remains a crucial text for anyone seeking to understand theodical arguments and the interplay of faith and reason. Readers with an interest in philosophy, theology, or the Enlightenment will find Leibniz's work invaluable, illuminating profound questions about existence and morality while encouraging a contemplative approach to life's inherent challenges.

    A cup. A chalice. A dish or platter. Even a lance or bloodline. The Holy Grail has become so many things to so many people. Over a vast period of time its story has evolved, changed, morphed, merged and even been manipulated. It has become a corner stone of Royal power or a secret so devilishly powerful that it could bring down a religion followed by over a billion people. 
     
    We are told it originated with the man called Jesus Christ. That it was the chalice which caught his blood as he died upon the cross. And yet, it already existed in-order to do so. It was already held sacred and dear to those with esoteric knowledge. This is why it was used to collect the holy blood of the most holy man. 
     
    Marketing and propaganda, books and movies have all become the source of the confusing idea that now surrounds the Grail. Is it a cup or is it really the truth about the bloodline of Gods only son? Are the children of Jesus and Mary now walking amongst us? No. The answer is simple. This is a blindside, a distraction, created to divert us from the real powerful truth of the Holy Grail. The real truth is much more interesting. Much more powerful. The real truth will give us all eternal life. The Legend of the Grail is one of everlasting life. It is nothing less than the quest for immortality.

    The Will to Believe

    "The Will to Believe" is a philosophical essay written by William James in 1896. The essay is a defense of the concept of religious faith and argues that belief can be justified even in the absence of objective evidence. 
    James argues that there are some beliefs, such as religious beliefs, that cannot be proven or disproven by empirical evidence. He contends that in cases where there is insufficient evidence to support a belief, individuals are justified in using their will to believe in order to hold on to what they consider to be important or valuable beliefs. 
    James also argues that the act of believing itself can have positive effects on an individual's life. Belief can provide a sense of meaning and purpose, as well as a framework for understanding the world. Furthermore, James contends that individuals who possess a strong will to believe are more likely to succeed in achieving their goals, as they are more motivated and focused. 
    "The Will to Believe" was a controversial work in its time, and it continues to be debated by philosophers and scholars today. While some have criticized James's arguments for promoting irrationality and dogmatism, others have praised his defense of personal autonomy and individual freedom of thought. Overall, "The Will to Believe" is an important contribution to the ongoing philosophical discourse on the nature of belief and faith.

    There are many intellectual biographies of Dr B.R. Ambedkar, but until now none has sought to reveal the personality of the man. They will tell you what he thought or what he wrote, but remain silent about who he actually was, his inner struggles, how he felt. They give information about Ambedkar, but do not talk about his interior life, his personal growth or how he came to be the man who left such an indelible mark on modern India's constitutional, political, social and religious landscapes.  
    The first of an ambitious two-volume biography, Becoming Babasaheb traces Ambedkar's life journey, from his birth in 1891 to the transformative Mahad Satyagraha in 1929. It takes a completely fresh look at Ambedkar's lived experiences and teases out the nature and character of the man behind the legend. It offers an extensive, personality-driven narrative covering Ambedkar's life, along with salient aspects of his contemporary legacy, unfolding as a tale of remarkable tenacity, which it chronicles in all its rich vitality. 
    All of Ambedkar's books and speeches are publicly available, so large volumes will forever appear interpreting his writings and presenting his ideas. Meanwhile, old myths and inaccurate 'facts' about his thought and life events, even his relationships, persist. Becoming Babasaheb has been written on the basis of entirely original archival research to set the historical record straight. A vivid portrait of the man in his times, both volumes of this biography will present readers with a new Ambedkar, the true Ambedkar.
