History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe (Vol1&2)

William Edward Hartpole Lecky

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe," William Edward Hartpole Lecky meticulously examines the intellectual evolution that led to the emergence of rationalist thought across Europe. Lecky employs an analytical narrative style, richly interweaving historical events, philosophical discourse, and cultural shifts, which marks his work within the tradition of 19th-century historiography. The two-volume set traces the influences of Enlightenment thinkers, the Reformation, and scientific advancements, offering insight into how these elements converged to foster a spirit of inquiry and skepticism that would reshape European society. William Edward Hartpole Lecky (1838-1903) was a prominent Irish historian and political theorist known for his commitment to rationalism and liberalism, which are apparent in this work. Influenced by the tumult of his times, including the decline of religious orthodoxy and the rise of secular humanism, Lecky aimed to contextualize rational thought as a transformative force in European history. His extensive education and involvement in political life informed his critical approach towards societal progress rooted in reason. This comprehensive analysis is essential reading for anyone interested in the intellectual history of Europe, as it provides not only a deep dive into the philosophical undercurrents of the era but also a broader understanding of the dynamics between reason and belief. Lecky's eloquent prose and keen insights invite readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of rationalism and its influence on contemporary thought.

The 48 Laws of Power

Robert Greene

Cunning, instructive, and amoral, this controversial bestseller distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48 well-explicated laws. Law 1: Never Outshine the Master. Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions. Law 7: Get Others to Do the Work for You, but Always Take the Credit. Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally. Law 33: Discover Each Man's Thumbscrew. These are the laws of power in their unvarnished essence—the philosophies of Machiavelli (The Prince), Sun-tzu (The Art of War), Carl von Clausewitz, Talleyrand, the great seducer Casanova, con man Yellow Kid Weil, and other legendary thinkers and schemers. They teach prudence, stealth, mastery of one's emotions, the art of deception, and the total absence of mercy. Like it or not, all have practical applications in real life. Each law is illustrated with examples of observance or transgression drawn from history and featuring such famous figures as Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, Mao, Alfred Hitchcock, P.T. Barnum, Haile Selassie, Catherine the Great, and Socrates. Convincing, practical, sometimes shocking, this book will fascinate anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

In Search of a Boy Named Chester...

Ford S. Worthy

Shortly after the end of World War II, a 21-year-old Navy officer – just back after a year at war in the Pacific – was eager to return to his small hometown in eastern North Carolina for a brief home leave. At the San Francisco airport, a mother travelling to Omaha offered him her seat – a patriotic gesture of gratitude, he believed. There was one condition: the sailor would need to accompany her 10-year-old son and see him safely to his grandmother in Omaha. 
The boy’s name was Chester. The sailor never forgot him. 
Nearly 80 years later, the sailor’s son sets out to give his father a special 100th birthday gift: to discover what became of that precocious boy. 
The book blends memoir, investigative nonfiction, and family history into a poignant and suspenseful journey. Through letters, military records, census and newspaper archives and outreach to strangers-turned-allies, the author pieces together the life of a boy nearly lost to time. Along the way, the story explores themes of memory, intergenerational connection, and the lasting impact of wartime experiences. Rich in historical detail and emotional resonance, the book will appeal to readers of narrative nonfiction, World War II history, and family sagas, and to genealogical sleuths drawn to real-life mysteries. In Search of a Boy Named Chester is a story that shows us how even the most fleeting encounters can reveal who we are and who we may become.
