The Correction of Taste - The...

Denis Donoghue

   'Donoghue was alert to the idea of the unsayable, as he circled around the idea of language itself as pliable material, all the more beautiful for that and worthy of our full consideration, but yielding at times to further levels of mystery...' from foreword by Colm Tóibín   
In this last written work, the internationally renowned Irish literary critic Denis Donoghue brings an acute critical intelligence to bear on the late novels of Henry James. One of the greatest novelists in the English language, Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-British author who is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism.
James's The Portrait of a Lady (1881) was the central achievement of his early period. The Turn of the Screw (1898) was a high-point of Gothic literature. In The Correction of Taste, Denis Donoghue offers a close reading of James's final novels, taking as his starting point an observation by T.S. Eliot about the function of literary criticism. Exploring a succession of works such as The Ambassadors (1903), The Wings of the Dove (1902) and The Golden Bowl (1905), Donoghue brings into sharp focus the complex layers of James's literary genius.

Doctrine of the Mean

Zi Zisi

"What Heaven has conferred is called The Nature; an accordance with this nature is called The Path."

One of the "Four Books" of Confucianism, the Doctrine of the Mean is a profound philosophical treatise that provides the metaphysical framework for a balanced life. It teaches that the path to virtue—the "Mean"—is not merely a compromise, but a state of perfect equilibrium and harmony with the cosmic order. To find the Mean is to align one's personal conduct with the very pulse of the universe.

The Power of Sincerity (Cheng): At the heart of Zisi's work is the transformative power of "Sincerity." The text argues that by being true to oneself and one's nature, an individual can reach a state of enlightenment that allows them to "assist the transforming and nourishing powers of Heaven and Earth." It is a philosophy of active self-cultivation, where the internal moral state of the individual has the power to bring peace to the entire world.

A Blueprint for the "Superior Man": The Doctrine of the Mean outlines the characteristics of the Junzi (the Superior Man), who remains cautious even when unseen and walks the path of virtue even in solitude. It bridges the gap between everyday ethics and transcendental philosophy, making it an essential read for anyone seeking a life of purpose, stability, and profound ethical clarity.

Discover the wisdom of balance in a world of extremes. Purchase the "Doctrine of the Mean" today and align your life with the Way.
