On Ghosts

Mary Shelley

Sinopsis

Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley (30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851) was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), which is considered an early example of science fiction. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley.Mary Shelley’s essay On Ghosts, written in 1824, only a few years after the tragic death of her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and published in the same year in the London Magazine, moves away from the traditional Gothic horror of her novels. Instead, it explores the psychological and philosophical nature of the supernatural, questioning why we are so drawn to the idea of the "returned dead".In this work, Shelley adopts a surprisingly skeptical and rationalist tone. She begins by admitting that, despite our modern advancements, the human imagination still clings to the possibility of ghosts. However, her approach is not one of a believer in the occult, but rather one of a keen observer of human emotion.

The Jewish Diaspora - How Global...

Joseph Arston

The origins of the Jewish Diaspora trace back to the ancient period, particularly during the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE. This event marked the beginning of a prolonged period of Jewish displacement, which would stretch over thousands of years and shape Jewish history, culture, and identity. The early history of the Jewish Diaspora is rooted in the geopolitical conflicts of the ancient world, where empires and kingdoms frequently clashed, leading to the forced relocation of populations.
In 586 BCE, the Babylonian Empire, under King Nebuchadnezzar II, destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem and exiled a large portion of the Jewish population to Babylon, modern-day Iraq. This marked the first significant moment of Jewish displacement and established the foundation of the Jewish Diaspora. While some Jews returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian Empire fell to the Persians in 539 BCE, a large number chose to remain in Babylon, where they were able to build communities and maintain their religious practices. This shift from a centralized community in Jerusalem to a more dispersed existence set the stage for future Jewish migrations.
The period following the destruction of the First Temple saw the rise of Jewish communities in the Persian Empire. The Jewish population in Babylon continued to grow, while new communities were established in Persia, Egypt, and other parts of the empire. In these areas, Jews were able to maintain their cultural and religious identities, particularly through their synagogues and study of the Torah. The influence of Jewish scholars and religious leaders during this period helped to solidify Jewish traditions and practices that would endure throughout the centuries.
