The Story of Philosophy...

Will Durant

In "The Story of Philosophy. Schopenhauer" Will Durant delves into the life and ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer, a prominent 19th-century German philosopher. Schopenhauer's philosophy is characterized by his profound pessimism and the notion that the essence of reality is an irrational will. Durant explores Schopenhauer's influences, including Eastern philosophies and Immanuel Kant, and examines how his metaphysical and ethical views shaped his bleak outlook on human existence.
Schopenhauer's seminal work, "The World as Will and Representation," is central to Durant's discussion. This work posits that the will is the driving force behind all phenomena, leading to a perpetual state of dissatisfaction and suffering. Despite his pessimism, Schopenhauer's thoughts on aesthetics and compassion reveal a complex thinker who saw art and empathy as temporary escapes from the harshness of reality.
Durant's narrative not only provides a thorough analysis of Schopenhauer's philosophy but also situates it within the broader historical and intellectual context. By doing so, he highlights Schopenhauer's lasting impact on both contemporary and later philosophical thought, including existentialism and psychoanalysis.
This segment of "The Story of Philosophy" serves as an accessible introduction to Schopenhauer's challenging ideas, offering readers insight into one of philosophy's most intriguing and influential figures.

Free Exercise - Religion the...

Chris Beneke

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF. Those words, scratched on parchment in 1789, open the US Constitution's First Amendment. From them, countless interpretations have been drawn. As a consequence, an astonishing variety of activities in modern America—prayer after football games, Bible reading in classrooms, company healthcare policies, the baking of wedding cakes, and Ten Commandment displays around courthouses—have been alternately authorized, prohibited, or modified. 
 
 
 
In this compelling historical account, Chris Beneke explains how the religion clauses came into existence and how they were woven into American culture. He brings prominent early national figures to life, including George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Paine, while chronicling the First Amendment's relationship to defining social conditions like slavery, civility, family life, and the free market. 
 
 
 
Going beyond traditional church-state scholarship, Beneke also demonstrates how white women, African Americans, Roman Catholics, Jews, and nonbelievers widened religious liberty's application and illuminated its boundaries. In doing so he makes a groundbreaking contribution to both constitutional history and the history of American pluralism.

I feed on something far filthier than blood.
