  A Letter From Aldous Huxley to...

  Aldous Huxley

  In October of 1949, a few months after publication of George Orwell‘s masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four, he received a letter from fellow author Aldous Huxley, a man who, 17 years previous, had seen his own nightmarish vision of society published in the form of the classic, Brave New World. What begins as a letter of praise soon becomes a brief comparison of the two novels, and an explanation as to why Huxley believes his own earlier work to be a more realistic prediction. It should be noted that in 1917, long before he wrote this letter, Aldous Huxley briefly taught Orwell French at Eton College in Berkshire.

  Insatiably Mine - About...

  This is a book about the type of people who survive through destroying other people. 
  According to the author, we all do our best to make our way through life, and we are all forced to make sense of our own lives. In that respect, there is only one type of human being. You see, none of us really knows why we were born, and the people who have raised us, such as parents and teachers, are equally oblivious. 
  Getting through life involves a lot of pain and in our life journey, we will experience various kinds of pain. The pain has different origins, but it mainly has to do with fear and feelings of separation and isolation. 
  Some people have experienced these emotions to the degree that they have learnt to get through life by sucking the life force out of others; insatiably. The author shares his understanding of the destructive behaviour that comes along with these people. To do this in a balanced manner, the author moves between different vantage points; the emphatic, the accepting and the brutal. 
  This might sound strange, but even the most horrible tyrants are tyrants because they deep down crave to be loved. Reading this book is enlightening for every searching human being. The book can be read for self-development and personal growth, and it can be read to understand more about your own encounters with destructive people. It can help you understand interactions in family situations, childcare, work situations, politics and community life.

  In the following keynote address given at Baylor University, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan's seminal book, "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man," which proposed that the media--not the content that they carry-- affects the society in which it plays a role and, thus, should be the focus of study. Levinson, a colleague of McLuhan’s, lays out, how in the decades since its 1964 publication, McLuhan’s study of media theory and the concept that "the medium is the message," still holds true.

  Judeophobia - A History

  Shlomo Sand

  Throughout the history of the Western world, Jews have suffered various forms of exclusion, stigmatization, and discrimination that have forced them always to be aware of their particular situation. The Jews became a community under siege and, as Shlomo Sand argues, Judaism was shaped by the hostile gaze of Christian civilization. While the forms of hostility endured by the Jews have varied over the centuries, it is impossible to understand twentieth century anti-Judaism, or Jewish identity itself, without taking account of the sediments of mental hatred, fueled by religious belief, which have survived the passage of time. 
   
  While antisemitism is the term commonly used today, Sand prefers 'Judeophobia', which predates the appearance of 'antisemitism' and is more precise. Looking back over the centuries, he seeks to identify some of the stages in the age-old, incandescent hatred of the Jews and tries to understand what remains today of this trenchant hostility. He also questions whether Zionism, born as a distressed response to modern Judeophobia, has ended up mirroring it. To what extent has Zionism inherited the ideological foundations that have always been characteristic of the persecutors of the Jews? This history of anti-Jewish hatred will be of interest to anyone concerned with one of the most insidious and persistent features of Western civilization.
