Sinopse

The Collected Works presents an engrossing exploration of the intellectual and ethical dynamism of the Renaissance era, harmoniously juxtaposing the intricate reflections of William Roper with the thought-provoking legacies of Thomas More. This scholarly compendium draws together writings that traverse diverse literary terrains, from philosophical treatises to nuanced biographical sketches, encapsulating the fervent conversation between early modern humanism and religious devotion. Through an adept blend of styles—including rhetorical prose and incisive argumentation—this anthology transcends the mere historical, offering insights into enduring questions of morality, governance, and human nature. William Roper and Thomas More embody the vital confluence of biographical close-up and broader cultural critique, with their works serving as a prism through which the temperaments of their age come alive. Roper, More's son-in-law, offers a perspective enriched by personal insight, chronicling More's life with critical empathy and intimate detail. In concert, the collection embraces the vibrant discourse of the Renaissance, rendering visible connections to timeless themes such as justice, conscience, and resistance. These complementary voices collectively honor the spirit of inquiry and valorize the courage of upholding one's principles in the face of societal pressures. This anthology is a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of Renaissance thought, offering a rare opportunity to engage with the eloquent dialogues between two profound minds. It not only furnishes an educational tapestry of historical insights but also fosters a space for reflection upon the moral challenges that remain relevant today. Readers will find The Collected Works indispensable for its breadth of perspective, inviting them to traverse and appreciate the multifaceted narratives that illuminate the intersection of personal and political, past and present.

    Aion is one of the major works of C.G. Jung's later years.  
     
    The title comes from the Greek word for aeon or age and refers to the age of Christianity, for, in Aion, Jung is concerned with the collective psychic development that the Christian era represents. How did it come about when it did? What psychic change did it represent? In exploring these questions, Jung (1875-1961) draws upon Christian symbolism and, in particular, the figure of Christ as a case study in the archetype of the Self.  
     
    The book begins with an account of the important concepts of the ego, the shadow and the anima/animus (here referred to as the syzygy). Jung then continues with his exploration of the Self archetype as represented through Christian symbolism and the figure of Christ. In particular, a discussion and critique of the Christian view of evil is provided. The symbolism of the fish, which recurs as a symbol of both Christ and of the devil, is examined in detail and a wide range of alchemical, pagan and gnostic material is drawn upon. The final chapter of the book proposes a model for the structure of the Self.  
     
    Aion is one of the most important volumes of the Collected Works and complements The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. Translated by R. F. C.Hull.

  • The Battle For The Jewish State - How Israel―And America―Can Win - cover

    On October 7, 2023, Israel was ambushed by the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas. The attack, underwritten by the Islamic Republic of Iran, unleashed unspeakable terrors on the Israeli population. Most of the world reacted with horror. But many commentators labeled the Jewish people, and Israel as a nation, as oppressors. The Palestinians, according to their Marxist calculus, were the oppressed. 
     
     
     
    A legion of figures in academia, the media, and the United States then declared support for Palestine, the perpetrator of the atrocities. Many American institutions have been indoctrinated and transformed into puppets who propagate hateful antisemitism. Why does Israel exist? Why is it worthy of remaining a critical ally of the United States? Why have critical race theorists identified Israel and the US as the most pernicious examples of "settler colonialism"? 
     
     
     
    Answers to these questions were developing during the first term of President Trump. But they were abandoned by the Biden-Harris Administration, imperiling Israel and the United States. In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates shows how the conflict in Israel is not a regional issue to be resolved through an interminable diplomatic peace process. Rather, it is a broader military and cultural war that must be won for the sake of Israel and the United States.

    Named the fourth most important “Book of the Year” by the National Post in 2015 and voted “One Book/One Province” in Saskatchewan for 2017, The Education of Augie Merasty launched on the front page of The Globe and Mail to become a national bestseller and an instant classic.
    		 
    A courageous and intimate memoir, The Education of Augie Merasty is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation. 
    A retired fisherman and trapper who sometimes lived rough on the streets, Augie Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of aggressive assimilation.
    		 
    As Augie recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse. 
    But even as he looks back on this painful part of his childhood, Merasty's sense of humour and warm voice shine through. 
    “In this book I have seen horror through eyes of a child.” — James Daschuk, author of Clearing the Plains
    		 
    “A story in which our entire nation has an obscure and dark complicity.” — David Carpenter, co-author of The Education of Augie Merasty and author of The Gold and other books
