Beschreibung

In 'The Garden of Cyrus,' Thomas Browne navigates the intricate relationship between nature, art, and philosophy through a distinctive literary style that intertwines prose and poetic elements. Published in 1658, this work exemplifies the author's fascination with the symbolism of the number five, which he meticulously explores through the lens of the quincunx—a geometric pattern that reflects both the intricacies of the natural world and human perception. Browne's exceptional blend of erudition and whimsy invites readers into a contemplative space where botanical observations flourish alongside metaphysical inquiries, positioning the book as a significant contribution to the genre of early modern scientific literature and an exploration of microcosmic and macrocosmic connections. Thomas Browne, a physician and polymath, is celebrated for his profound curiosity and intellect, attributes that propelled him to delve deeply into the philosophical questions surrounding existence and the natural order. His background in medicine informed his insights into the natural world, allowing Browne to blend empirical observation with philosophical reflection. 'The Garden of Cyrus' showcases his literary talents while reflecting the broader intellectual currents of the Renaissance, where explorations of nature often intersected with metaphysical musings. This captivating work is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of science, philosophy, and literature. Browne's eloquent prose invites a deep engagement with the themes of perception and order within the chaos of nature. Those who appreciate thoughtful introspection and the exploration of ideas will find 'The Garden of Cyrus' a richly rewarding experience.

    C. G. Jung, (Carl Gustav Jung) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion archetypes, as well as the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death. 
    The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development. 
    Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types. 
    Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the psychologization of religion, spirituality, and the New Age movement has been immense.

    Curiosity is a dangerous thing. I peered into the darkness. It crept into my brain. 
    I broke my promise. The village elder told me to stay away, but I didn’t listen. 
    I ended up trapped in an underground chamber with a crystal skull. It called out in the shadows, begging me to caress its smooth, cold surface. 
    That was the beginning of my transformation. 
    The demon filled me with a dark addiction. He feeds on my lust and uses me as a puppet. Here in the jungle, we’ll build a utopia. 
    A world where the strong rule the weak.

    Trump is running for President again and American democracy is on the ropes and teetering on the brink of authoritarianism controlled by theocrats and oligarchs. With its cherished institutions hobbled, political norms trampled, guardrails severely damaged, and body politic divided by chasms of race and geography, can the U.S. survive another Trump administration dedicated to establishing de facto single party rule? In this compelling, comprehensive analysis, Brynn Tannehill draws on her expertise in studying the collapse of weak democracies around the globe and her previous research in law, political science, economics and right-wing populism to explain the trajectory of how we got here and the current threats we face. Most importantly, she analyzes what the characteristics of fascism are, if they are applicable to the base of the GOP today, and what that means for us should Trump succeed in establishing permanent minoritarian rule. American Fascism is a surgical analysis of 250 years of struggle for democracy in America and a prescient prognosis of what’s to come if we do not heed Tannehill’s warnings and advice.
