No one who has ever felt the life-changing pull of Emerson's enormous mind, has ever doubted his power or his greatness; though we are often puzzled to know whether he is primarily a poet, an essayist, or a philosopher. Richard Geldard is not puzzled at all by this: he has written a book which plainly shows the essential Emerson to be a teacher, the Socrates of Massachusetts, a man with a message that we need to hear today. It is argued that previous generations 'beheld God and nature face to face' in contrast to modern life, where he suggests people seem able only to see t...

Shakespeare

Price: $25.95

Publisher: Princeton:

Seller ID: 10914

ISBN: 0691135355

Without Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), we simply would not understand Shakespeare in the way we do. In fact, much literature and art besides Shakespeare would neither look the same nor be the same without the influence of Herder's "Shakespeare" (1773). One of the most important and original works in the history of literary criticism, this passionate essay pioneered a new, historicist approach to cultural artifacts by arguing that they should be judged not by their conformity to a set of conventions imported from another time and place, but by the effectiveness of their response t...

On being introduced to the concept of evolving human consciousness, Brien Masters discovered that one could gain insight into the phenomenon by examining the musical styles of different composers.

"Tell us about when you were little."

It is a godsend when the grandchild's prod transforms the digital dizziness of life into vistas of realisation. Transforms the perpetual 24.7 whirl of life's hour hand into those moments when the pendulum of the grandfather clock changes direction from tick to tock, from short-sighted onrush to insight-seeking reflection. Perhaps to realise that the treasure hunt for life's meaning is a karmic treasure in itself.

The 80 pop-up vistas in the pages of this book circumnavigate the global life experience of its author, not as a documented aut...
