Synopsis

The Collected Works of Immanuel Kant presents a comprehensive anthology of Kant's groundbreaking philosophical oeuvre, encompassing critical contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. With a unique blend of dense rational argumentation and profound insights into human nature, Kant challenges readers to navigate the complexities of morality and the limits of human understanding. His categorical imperative and the notion of the 'thing-in-itself' form pivotal elements of his thought, reflecting the Enlightenment's quest for knowledge while simultaneously acknowledging the inherent constraints of reason. Written in the characteristic style of the German Idealist movement, these works invite rigorous engagement and reflection. Immanuel Kant, a central figure in the history of Western philosophy, was born in 1724 in Königsberg, Prussia. His intellectual endeavors were shaped by the tumultuous context of the Enlightenment, where he sought to reconcile empirical knowledge with rationalist traditions. His lifelong dedication to philosophy and the systematic exploration of metaphysical issues directly influenced his writings, leading him to articulate a moral framework that has enduring relevance. This collection is an essential resource for anyone seeking to delve into Kantian thought, offering invaluable insights into questions of morality, epistemology, and human autonomy. Its rich content is a must-read for philosophers, students, and general readers eager to explore the profound implications of Kant's ideas in contemporary discourse.

Of Gods and Men

Francis Story

We are all familiar with the fact that man in former days 
readily believed in the existence of an unseen world, a world 
of ghosts, demons, nature-spirits which were worshipped as gods, 
and a host of other supernatural beings. This world lay all about him 
and in some respects was more real to him than the physical world. 
It was his belief in it, and in the power of the forces it contained, that 
gave birth first to primitive magic and later to religion. 
 
Even today, vast numbers of people all over the world, and not 
merely among savage tribes or backward peasantry, but in 
advanced and educated communities, particularly in Asia, still 
believe in this mysterious realm and in various classes of beings 
that inhabit it, to an extent that would surprise most Westerners 
apart from those who have made a study of the subject. To the 
Asian mind it is equally surprising that Westerners, with the 
exception of spiritualists, are sceptical regarding it.

Home Bound - An Uprooted...

Vanessa A. Bee

In this memoir of identity and discovery, Vanessa A. Bee explores the way we define "home" and "belonging"—from her birth in Yaoundé, Cameroon, to her adoption, to experiencing housing insecurity in Europe and her eventual immigration to the US. After her parents' divorce, Vanessa traveled with her mother to Lyon and later to London, eventually settling in Reno, Nevada, as a teenager, right around the financial crisis and the collapse of the housing market. At twenty, still a practicing evangelical Christian and newly married, Vanessa applied to and was accepted by Harvard Law School, where she was one of the youngest members of her class. There, she forged a new belief system, divorced her husband, left the church, and pursued a career in economic justice upon graduation. 
 
 
 
Vanessa's upbringing has caused her to grapple for years with foundational questions such as: What is home? Is it the country we're born in, the body we possess, or the name we were given and that identifies us? Is it the house we remember most fondly, the social status assigned to us, or the ideology we forge? What defines us and makes us uniquely who we are? 
 
 
 
Vanessa tackles these timeless questions thematically and unpacks the many layers that contribute to and condition our understanding of ourselves and of our place in the world.

The Hindu Pantheon - Myths Gods...

Odessa Nightshade

Hindu mythology is one of the oldest and most complex religious traditions in the world. With a vast pantheon of gods, goddesses, and celestial beings, it weaves together myths, legends, and philosophical concepts that have shaped the spiritual landscape of India for thousands of years. Unlike many monotheistic traditions, Hinduism does not center around a single deity but instead embraces a diverse array of divine figures, each representing different aspects of existence. These deities are not merely supernatural beings but embodiments of cosmic principles, making Hindu mythology a unique fusion of religion, philosophy, and storytelling.
The foundation of Hindu mythology lies in its sacred texts, particularly the Vedas and Puranas. The Vedas, composed over 3,000 years ago, contain hymns and rituals dedicated to early Vedic deities, forming the spiritual bedrock of Hindu belief. The Puranas, written centuries later, expanded upon these traditions, introducing detailed narratives about the lives, battles, and divine exploits of gods like Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi. Together, these texts provide an extensive mythological framework that continues to influence Hindu practices and beliefs to this day.
One of the central themes in Hindu mythology is the concept of dharma, or cosmic order. The gods play a crucial role in maintaining balance in the universe, ensuring that righteousness prevails over chaos. Myths often depict the eternal struggle between good and evil, with divine beings intervening in the world through incarnations known as avatars. The most well-known avatars belong to Vishnu, who manifests as Rama, Krishna, and other heroic figures to restore harmony when disorder threatens creation. This belief in divine intervention reinforces the idea that morality and duty must be upheld in human life, as they are reflections of the cosmic law.
