  Max Heindel is recognized as one of the greatest western mystics of the 20th century and he is the founder of the Rosicrucian Fellowship and author of a number of essential Rosicrucian works.  
  First published in 1916, Heindel's "The Rosicrucian Mysteries" is regarded as a classic work providing a guide for students to understand basic Rosicrucian teachings. 
  Max Heindel's mysticism is set firmly in the western tradition of the Gnosis. Following a series of disappointments and ill health, Heindel claims to have been visited by a Spiritual Being, who he identified as an Elder Brother of the Rosicrucian Order. From this entity he received a compelling explanation of the spiritual evolution of both the Cosmos and Humanity, couched in terms best suited to the logical, linear mind of western culture. 
    
  "The Rosicrucian Mysteries" is an elementary exposition of these teachings and training methods, and a perfect introduction to the philosophy of this important teacher of the Western Mystery Tradition.

  Mengele And Nazi Doctors During...

  The experiments conducted during World War II provide some of the most extreme examples of human rights and ethics breaches the world has so far seen. There is no benefit in considering the Nazi experiments as “other” or irrelevant. The greatest good that can come from these atrocities is the lessons they have to teach about what plays into and creates a hostile research environment. Before the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, Germany was at the forefront of medical research and ethics.The rise of the National Socialist movement led to a moral decline in physicians’ perception of their professional identity.This was reinforced by concepts like “lives not worth living,” which were often repeated in Nazi propaganda and played a central role in justifying the atrocities committed under the Nazi regime.The Nazi era in general, and the behavior of Nazi doctors in particular, show that despite a general historical progression toward greater humanity, egregious regressions and moral backsliding have occurred.

  Shakespeares Philosophical...

  Is Shakespeare a philosophical playwright or not? T S Eliot suggests he is not, a point of view which this work disagrees with. The reason he has not been identified as a philosophical artist is because of the modern philosophical view of aesthetics, which is at odds with both Aristotelian and Kantian views. Freudian and Kleinian psychoanalytical concepts are used to analyse the "enveloping" qualities of his productions as well as the aesthetic result. Shakespeare has an awareness of what happens in life when the balance of the mind of an agent is disturbed by mental illness and he demonstrates the grasp of this problem in several of his most famous plays. He also has a deep understanding of the psychology of the tyrant and the large-scale consequences which follow from this.
  
   
  
  Kant argues that beauty and the sublime are "symbols of morality": a judgement that requires an analysis of both symbolism and the metaphysics of morality if it is to be fully understood. Shakespeare's work is described as "cosmopolitan", and this attractive characteristic is linked to what is described as the "hidden plan" for civilisation: a plan aiming at the Aristotelian hylomorphic essence-specifying-definition of man as a "rational animal capable of discourse". The commentaries of Wilson Knight and Harold Bloom are also philosophically evaluated from a philosophical point of view.

  In this searing new volume, Lynn Melnick dives head-first through concentric waves of personal and generational trauma with her trademark fearlessness. Evincing a complex mind shaped by the late 20th century’s misplaced priorities, Refusenik interrogates misogyny and anti-Semitism across time and a shifting global landscape—from a football field in Los Angeles to a Russian shtetl to a beloved daughter’s Brooklyn bedroom. Variously unraveling and allowing for intricate tangles of anger, nostalgia and love, these agile poems furrow deeper into the terrain of Melnick’s much-celebrated earlier titles, arriving at a profound and pressured understanding of what it means to be a contemporary American. Audiobook recorded by JBI Library for inclusion in the Yetzirah Audio Poetry Series (YAPS!).
