Beschreibung

The Greatest Works of Thomas More is a profound assembly of literature navigating the ideological and philosophical landscapes of the Renaissance through the lens of Thomas More's enigmatic oeuvre. This anthology intricately weaves More's esteemed works, such as his iconic 'Utopia,' with less prominent yet equally compelling texts, offering readers an expansive survey of humanist thought and social commentary. The collection showcases a blend of allegorical, political, and theological discourse, inviting readers to explore the complexities of More's visions alongside the reflective observations of editor William Roper, who seamlessly curates the tapestry of insights, ensuring both depth and accessibility in every reading experience. The contributing voices, primarily Thomas More, present a spectrum of Renaissance intellectualism, challenging conventional narratives of their era. Each author and editor in this compilation brings a wealth of historical understanding, which enriches the thematic explorations within. This collection resonates with the broader cultural shifts of More's time, capturing the tension between emerging modernity and enduring medieval traditions. The nuanced perspectives are deftly interwoven by Roper, whose editorial vision crafts a cohesive dialogue among the texts, highlighting the diverse influences that shaped More's thought and the shared human ideals that persist today. For readers seeking to traverse the intricacies of philosophical thought and literary craft, The Greatest Works of Thomas More stands as an indispensable resource. The anthology invites an immersive engagement with More's rich philosophical dialogues and Roper's meticulous presentation, offering a vibrant confluence of ideas that challenge and inspire. Revel in the chance to connect with the multifaceted themes and experiential narratives that forge new understandings and lingering contemplations, as part of a broader intellectual and historical discourse.

    Calvin Coolidge (July 4, 1872 - January 5, 1933) was the 30th president of the United States from 1923 to 1929. Born in Vermont, Coolidge was a Republican lawyer from New England who climbed up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, becoming the state's 48th governor. His response to the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight as a man of decisive action. Coolidge was elected the country's 29th vice president the next year, succeeding the presidency upon the sudden death of President Warren G. Harding in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, Coolidge gained a reputation as a small-government conservative distinguished by a taciturn personality and dry sense of humor, receiving the nickname "Silent Cal".

    Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and his ideology was disseminated through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. 
      
    Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay "Nature". Following this work, he gave a speech entitled "The American Scholar" in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. considered to be America's "intellectual Declaration of Independence." 
      
    Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first and then revised them for print. His first two collections of essays, Essays: First Series and Essays: Second Series, represent the core of his thinking. They include the well-known essays "SelfReliance", "The OverSoul", "Circles", "The Poet", and "Experience." Together with "Nature", these essays made the decade from the mid1830s to the mid1840s Emerson's most fertile period. Emerson wrote on a number of subjects, never espousing fixed philosophical tenets, but developing certain ideas such as individuality, freedom, the ability for mankind to realize almost anything, and the relationship between the soul and the surrounding world. Emerson's "nature" was more philosophical than naturalistic: "Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul." Emerson is one of several figures who "took a more pantheist approach by rejecting views of God as separate from the world."
