  Nietzsche's Jewish Problem -...

  Robert C. Holub

  The first comprehensive account of Nietzsche's views of Jews and JudaismFor more than a century, Nietzsche's views about Jews and Judaism have been subject to countless polemics. The Nazis infamously fashioned the philosopher as their anti-Semitic precursor, while in the past thirty years the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. The increasingly popular view today is that Nietzsche was not only completely free of racist tendencies but also was a principled adversary of anti-Jewish thought. Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem offers a definitive reappraisal of the controversy, taking the full historical, intellectual, and biographical context into account. As Robert Holub shows, a careful consideration of all the evidence from Nietzsche’s published and unpublished writings and letters reveals that he harbored anti-Jewish prejudices throughout his life.Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem demonstrates how this is so despite the apparent paradox of the philosopher’s well-documented opposition to the crude political anti-Semitism of the Germany of his day. As Holub explains, Nietzsche’s "anti-anti-Semitism" was motivated more by distaste for vulgar nationalism than by any objection to anti-Jewish prejudice.A richly detailed account of a controversy that goes to the heart of Nietzsche’s reputation and reception, Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem will fascinate anyone interested in philosophy, intellectual history, or the history of anti-Semitism.

  One of the first books to explore this influential spiritual and magical tradition, covering its philosophy while also providing a practical hands-on guide. 
   
   
   
  Espiritismo is the Spanish word for Spiritism or Spiritualism, spiritual traditions that emerged to great popularity in the US following the Civil War. 
   
   
   
  In the US and Canada, Spiritualism's primary focus was on communication between the living and the dead. The spiritual tradition traveled around the world, especially in Latin America, where it evolved in different ways. 
   
   
   
  The Puerto Rican influence on modern Western magic is profound but largely unheralded. Beginning in the early twentieth century, Puerto Rican immigrants to the US introduced Espiritismo to the US spiritual landscape, strongly affecting the way magic was practiced. Hector Salva's book places Puerto Rican Espiritismo in this broader perspective.

  The Storming of the Bastille -...

  The French Revolution did not erupt suddenly on July 14, 1789. Rather, it was the result of deep-rooted issues that had been festering for decades. The Ancien Régime, a rigid social and political structure, created vast inequalities that left the majority of the population burdened with heavy taxes and little representation. At the same time, Enlightenment thinkers challenged traditional authority, inspiring people to demand fundamental rights. Adding to these tensions was a financial crisis that left the government unable to function effectively, further alienating the common people from the monarchy. 
  Under the Ancien Régime, French society was divided into three estates. The First Estate, composed of the clergy, and the Second Estate, made up of the nobility, enjoyed numerous privileges, including exemption from most taxes. The Third Estate, which included the bourgeoisie, urban workers, and peasants, bore the financial weight of the nation. These commoners made up the vast majority of the population but had little say in political matters. Discontent grew as food prices soared, wages stagnated, and oppressive taxes drained the resources of ordinary citizens. The nobility and clergy, unwilling to relinquish their privileges, further deepened the divide between the ruling class and the people. 
  As social inequality worsened, Enlightenment ideas provided a new way of thinking. Philosophers such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu argued against absolute monarchy and promoted concepts such as liberty, equality, and popular sovereignty. Their writings spread widely, influencing the educated middle class and encouraging political discussions. Many began to question the legitimacy of the monarchy and the rigid class system. The belief that power should come from the people, rather than from divine right, gained traction, setting the stage for a confrontation with the old order.
