Sinopse

In "Of Plymouth Plantation," William Bradford provides a meticulous account of the Pilgrims' journey from England to the New World and their subsequent settlement in Plymouth. Penned in a plain yet eloquent style that reflects the Puritan ethos, Bradford's narrative blends personal reflection with historical chronicle, revealing the challenges faced by the colonists, their steadfast faith, and the communal spirit that characterized their survival. This text stands as an essential primary source from the early 17th century, encapsulating the hopes and trials of those striving for religious freedom against a backdrop of harsh conditions and complex native relations. Bradford, a key figure in the establishment of the Plymouth Colony, was deeply influenced by both his own experiences as a Separatist and the broader ecclesiastical tensions of his time. His leadership and vision were born from a deep commitment to his beliefs, and his detailed documentation serves as both a historical record and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. His background as a farmer, soldier, and Governor offered him unique insights into the hardship and necessity of community in the New World. "Of Plymouth Plantation" is indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of American history and identity. Bradford's narrative invites readers into the depths of early colonial life, providing rich reflections on faith, governance, and human perseverance. This book is not only a chronicling of events but a poignant exploration of the ideals that continue to shape American values today.

    “An important and profound contribution to the reorientation of modern man to the enigma of the drama of history.” —The Journal of Religion 
     
    Modern man sees with one eye of faith and one eye of reason. Consequently, his view of history is confused. For centuries, the history of the Western world has been viewed from the Christian or classical standpoint—from a deep faith in the Kingdom of God or a belief in recurrent and eternal life-cycles. The modern mind, however, is neither Christian nor pagan—and its interpretations of history are Christian in derivation and anti-Christian in result. To develop this theory, Karl Löwith—beginning with the more accessible philosophies of history in the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries and working back to the Bible—analyzes the writings of outstanding historians both in antiquity and in Christian times.

    Since the latter part of the twentieth century, breakthroughs in science, like advancements in brain imaging, have sparked a growing fascination with the intersection of emotions and neurobiology. Researchers have come to acknowledge the close connection between the brain and the immune system, the detrimental impact of chronic stress on the human body, and the significant correlation between emotions and health issues such as heart disease. 
    Before this scientific awakening, there was an undue emphasis on academic intelligence by researchers. This bias ignored the reality that intelligence is not a reliable predictor of success and happiness. Instead, emotional intelligence emerges as a more accurate indicator of life trajectory. It encompasses psychological resilience, the ability to persevere in the face of challenges, impulse control, and social skills like empathy. 
    Contrary to earlier beliefs that emotional intelligence was an inherent trait, recent research has revealed it to be a capacity rather than an absolute characteristic. Nevertheless, the formative stage for emotional intelligence is primarily in early childhood. A baby receiving nurturing care is more likely to develop a positive outlook, while a neglected baby may struggle with challenges later in life. Although tendencies toward optimism or pessimism take root early, they can still evolve later on, influenced by one's social network, as emotions tend to be contagious. 
    It's crucial to recognize that complete control over emotions is not feasible. Emotions are a result of the brain processing external feedback and are not consciously regulated. However, individuals can control how they respond to their emotions. The initial step in effective emotional management is being aware of one's emotions, forming the foundation for emotional intelligence.
