Fichte's Conception of God

Joseph Alexander Leighton

Sinossi

Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) was a German philosopher who became a founding figure of the philosophical movement known as German idealism, which developed from the theoretical and ethical writings of Immanuel Kant. Recently, philosophers and scholars have begun to appreciate Fichte as an important philosopher in his own right due to his original insights into the nature of self-consciousness or self-awareness. Fichte was also the originator of the concept of thesis-antithesis-synthesis, an idea that is often erroneously attributed to Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Like Descartes and Kant before him, Fichte was motivated by the problem of subjectivity and consciousness. He also wrote some works of political philosophy that contributed to his reputation as one of the fathers of German nationalism.
Joseph Alexander Leighton (1870-1954), American theologian and philosopher, professor of Philosophy at Ohio State University, was one of the greatest scholars of Fichte's thought. In 1895 he published in The Philosophical Review the short essay Fichte's Conception of God, which we propose to our readers today.

Canadian Monsters & Mysteries

W.T. Watson

Canada is the second largest country in the world—a land of seemingly endless coastlines, vast prairies, jagged mountains, and deep boreal forests. Despite the vastness of its territory, 90% of Canadians live within 150 miles of the US border leaving room for all manner of strange beings to exist undisturbed. 
 
 
 
Canadian Monsters and Mysteries will take the listener deep into the mysterious north where mammoths may still roam the frozen tundra while the Manwolf, loup-garou, and Waheela stalk the dense woodland and mysterious valleys. The many lakes of Canada are home to an astounding variety of aquatic cryptids while the skies house everything from Mothman-like creatures to UFOs. Phantom ships sail the waters of lakes and oceans alike as shadow people haunt the nights of those who remain indoors. 
 
 
 
Canadian Monsters and Mysteries explores all these topics and more. Join author W. T. Watson on this tour of high strangeness in the Great White North.

Abortion and The Senseless...

Dorris S. Woods PhD

The overturning of Roe V. Wade will have long-term and indelible consequences on American society. 
The purpose of this book is to be part of the on-going conversations. 
Perfect or not, Roe was working for America. Consequently, it did not need to be “fixed”. 
The ignorance of attempting to fix it when the ramifications were unknown, has resulted in chaos, confusion, inconvenience and trauma for women who need abortions. In many cases viability of the embryo dictates an abortion. 
Also important is the fact that medical decisions were taken out of the hands of physicians. That is a “No, no”! 
The book also addresses the issue of poor ethics in the Supreme Court as this was also a factor in overturning Roe, as was arrogance.
