Many critics\r\ncomplained of the book called \"Heretics\" because it merely criticised\r\ncurrent philosophies without offering any alternative philosophy.\r\nThis book is an attempt to answer the challenge.  It is unavoidably\r\naffirmative and therefore unavoidably autobiographical.  The writer has\r\nbeen driven back upon somewhat the same difficulty as that which beset\r\nNewman in writing his Apologia; he has been forced to be egotistical\r\nonly in order to be sincere.  While everything else may be different\r\nthe motive in both cases is the same.  It is the purpose of the writer\r\nto attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can\r\nbe believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it.\r\nThe book is therefore arranged upon the positive principle of a riddle\r\nand its answer.  It deals first with all the writer's own solitary\r\nand sincere speculations and then with all the startling style in\r\nwhich they were all suddenly satisfied by the Christian Theology.\r\nThe writer regards it as amounting to a convincing creed.

But there is a blessing on those who sell it.\"\r\nThis verse speaks truly concerning all that can serve the common\r\ngood or the well-being of Christendom. This is the reason the\r\nmaster in the gospel reprimands the unfaithful servant like a lazy\r\nscoundrel for having hidden and buried his money in the ground.\r\nSo that this curse of the Lord and the entire Church might be\r\navoided, I must publish this letter which came into my possession\r\nthrough a good friend. I could not withhold it, as there has been\r\nmuch discussion about the translating of the Old and New\r\nTestaments. It has been charged by the despisers of truth that\r\nthe text has been modified and even falsified in many places,\r\nwhich has shocked and startled many simple Christians, even among\r\nthe educated who do not know any Hebrew or Greek. It is devoutly\r\nhoped that with this publication the slander of the godless will\r\nbe stopped and the scruples of the devout removed, at least in\r\npart. It may even give rise to more writing on such matters and\r\nquestions such as these. So I ask all friends of the Truth to\r\nseriously take this work to heart and faithfully pray to God for a\r\nproper understanding of the divine Scriptures towards the\r\nimprovement and increase of our common Christendom.

Although considered to be pseudepigraphic by some, it carries\r\nsignificant meaning and insight into events of that time.  It is\r\ndoubtful that these writings could have survived all the many centuries\r\nif there were no substance to them.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 398 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Platt, Rutherford Hayes \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Platt, Rutherford Hayes,1894-1975 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211124048029,"sku":"gb-398-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/398_3dc88ddc-6b69-4fb9-ba25-0c1893e6e9a7.jpg?v=1671248014"},{"product_id":"dr-martin-luther-s-deutsche-geistliche-lieder-gb-417","title":"Dr. Martin Luther's Deutsche Geistliche Lieder","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Martin Luther's Deutsche Geistliche Lieder\r - The Hymns of Martin Luther Set to Their Original Melodies, With an English Version\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease take a look at the important information in this header.\r\nWe encourage you to keep this file on your own disk, keeping an\r\nelectronic path open for the next readers.

The Occasion of the Work.Luther did not impose himself as reformer\r\nupon the Church. In the course of a conscientious performance of the\r\nduties of his office, to which he had been regularly and divinely\r\ncalled, and without any urging on his part, he attained to this\r\nposition by inward necessity. In 1515 he received his appointment as\r\nthe standing substitute for the sickly city pastor, Simon Heinse, from\r\nthe city council of Wittenberg. Before this time he was obliged to\r\npreach only occasionally in the convent, apart from his activity as\r\nteacher in the University and convent. Through this appointment he was\r\nin duty bound, by divine and human right, to lead and direct the\r\ncongregation at Wittenberg on the true way to life, and it would have\r\nbeen a denial of the knowledge of salvation which God had led him to\r\nacquire, by way of ardent inner struggles, if he had led the\r\ncongregation on any other way than the one God had revealed to him in\r\nHis Word. He could not deny before the congregation which had been\r\nintrusted to his care, what up to this time he had taught with ever\r\nincreasing clearness in his lectures at the Universityfor in the\r\nlectures on the Psalms, which he began to deliver in 1513, he declares\r\nhis conviction that faith alone justifies, as can be seen from the\r\ncomplete manuscript, published since 1885, and with still greater\r\nclearness from his Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (1515-1516),\r\nwhich is accessible since 1908; nor what he had urged as spiritual\r\nadviser of his convent brethren when in deep distresscompare the\r\ncharming letter to Georg Spenlein, dated April 8, 1516.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 418 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Luther, Martin \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Reu, Johann Michael, 1869-1943 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Luther, Martin,1483-1546 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211126866077,"sku":"gb-418-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/418_768add68-40d4-4843-840d-ff3c5d35f0d6.jpg?v=1671248057"},{"product_id":"the-vital-message-gb-439","title":"The Vital Message","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Vital Message\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n      In \"The New Revelation\" the first dawn of the coming change has been\r\n      described. In \"The Vital Message\" the sun has risen higher, and one sees\r\n      more clearly and broadly what our new relations with the Unseen may be. As\r\n      I look into the future of the human race I am reminded of how once, from\r\n      amid the bleak chaos of rock and snow at the head of an Alpine pass, I\r\n      looked down upon the far stretching view of Lombardy, shimmering in the\r\n      sunshine and extending in one splendid panorama of blue lakes and green\r\n      rolling hills until it melted into the golden haze which draped the far\r\n      horizon. Such a promised land is at our very feet which, when we attain\r\n      it, will make our present civilisation seem barren and uncouth. Already\r\n      our vanguard is well over the pass. Nothing can now prevent us from\r\n      reaching that wonderful land which stretches so clearly before those eyes\r\n      which are opened to see it.\r\n    \n\r\n      That stimulating writer, V. C. Desertis, has remarked that the Second\r\n      Coming, which has always been timed to follow Armageddon, may be fulfilled\r\n      not by a descent of the spiritual to us, but by the ascent of our material\r\n      plane to the spiritual, and the blending of the two phases of existence.\r\n      It is, at least, a fascinating speculation. But without so complete an\r\n      overthrow of the partition walls as this would imply we know enough\r\n      already to assure ourselves of such a close approximation as will surely\r\n      deeply modify all our views of science, of religion and of life. What form\r\n      these changes may take and what the evidence is upon which they will be\r\n      founded are briefly set forth in this volume.\r\n    \n\r\n      July, 1919.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 439 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Doyle, Arthur Conan \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Doyle, Arthur Conan,1859-1930 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211130110109,"sku":"gb-439-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/439_dda4a700-b7f1-46b3-9bfc-ca4876f852a6.jpg?v=1671248105"},{"product_id":"the-psychology-of-revolution-gb-448","title":"The Psychology of Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Psychology of Revolution\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease take a look at the important information in this header.\r\nWe encourage you to keep this file on your own disk, keeping an\r\nelectronic path open for the next readers.

With pick and shovel they are letting the rays of the April sun\r\n      into the great ice barrier which binds together the modern quays and the\r\n      old granite fortress where lie the bones of the Romanoff Czars.\r\n    \n\r\n      This barrier is already weakened; it is widely decayed, in many places\r\n      thin, and everywhere treacherous; but it is, as a whole, so broad, so\r\n      crystallized about old boulders, so imbedded in shallows, so wedged into\r\n      crannies on either shore, that it is a great danger. The waters from\r\n      thousands of swollen streamlets above are pressing behind it; wreckage and\r\n      refuse are piling up against it; every one knows that it must yield. But\r\n      there is danger that it may resist the pressure too long and break\r\n      suddenly, wrenching even the granite quays from their foundations,\r\n      bringing desolation to a vast population, and leaving, after the\r\n      subsidence of the flood, a widespread residue of slime, a fertile\r\n      breeding-bed for the germs of disease.\r\n    \n\r\n      But the patient mujiks are doing the right thing. The barrier, exposed\r\n      more and more to the warmth of spring by the scores of channels they are\r\n      making, will break away gradually, and the river will flow on beneficent\r\n      and beautiful.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 505 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: White, Andrew Dickson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"White, Andrew Dickson,1832-1918 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211138891933,"sku":"gb-505-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/505_63507d26-844a-4f83-a944-7a8ad943ccc2.jpg?v=1671248241"},{"product_id":"the-planet-mars-and-its-inhabitants-a-psychic-revelation-gb-563","title":"The Planet Mars and Its Inhabitants, a Psychic Revelation","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Planet Mars and Its Inhabitants, a Psychic Revelation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n  To the millions of God's children on\r\n  this earth enthralled in darkness, for whom\r\n  the solicitude of the Father is now in\r\n  evidence, this book is dedicated.\n\n\r\nOne hemisphere of Mars showing the North Polar Cap and the main Canal\r\nSystem covering the planet.

On the morning of\r\n      June 17th, 1775, a force of British soldiers attacked a small body of raw,\r\n      ill-equipped American volunteers, who had fortified a hill near Boston,\r\n      and quickly drove them from their position. By whom then was the Bunker\r\n      Hill Monument erected? By the victors in that first engagement of the\r\n      Revolution? No, but by proud descendants of the vanquished, whose broader\r\n      view showed them the incalculable benefits arising from that seeming\r\n      defeat, which precipitated the great struggle, forcing every man in the\r\n      Colonies to take a position squarely for or against the American Cause,\r\n      convinced the timid that only proper equipment would be needed to enable\r\n      the American army to hold its own against the foe, and taught the British\r\n      that they were dealing, not with hot-headed rebels who would run at first\r\n      sight of the dreaded red coats, but with patriots who would stand their\r\n      ground so long as a charge of powder remained, or gunstocks could be\r\n      handled as clubs.\r\n    \n\r\n      Very much the same line of argument may be applied to the first attempt of\r\n      the Moravian Church to establish a settlement on the American Continent.\r\n      The story is usually passed over by historians in a few short paragraphs,\r\n      and yet without the colony in Georgia, the whole history of the Renewed\r\n      Church of the Unitas Fratrum would have been very different. Without that\r\n      movement the Moravian Church might never have been established in England,\r\n      without it the great Methodist denomination might never have come into\r\n      being, without it the American Moravian provinces, North or South, might\r\n      not have been planned. Of course Providence might have provided other\r\n      means for the accomplishment of these ends, but certain it is that in the\r\n      actual development of all these things the unsuccessful attempt in\r\n      Georgia, 1735 to 1740, played a most important part.\r\n    \n\r\n      In preparing this history a number of private libraries, the collections\r\n      of the Georgia Historical Society, the Congressional Library, the British\r\n      Museum, were searched for data, but so little was found that the story, in\r\n      so far as it relates to the Moravian settlement, has been drawn entirely\r\n      from the original manuscripts in the Archives of the Unitas Fratrum at\r\n      Herrnhut, Germany, with some additions from the Archives at Bethlehem,\r\n      Pa., and Salem, N.

But the unexpected growth of the\n        psychological matter as I came to write it out has resulted in the\n        second subject being postponed entirely, and the description of man's\n        religious constitution now fills the twenty lectures. In Lecture\n        XX I have suggested\n        rather than stated my own philosophic conclusions, and the reader who\n        desires immediately to know them should turn to pages 511-519, and to the Postscript of the book. I hope to be able at\n        some later day to express them in more explicit form.\nIn my belief that\n        a large acquaintance with particulars often makes us wiser than the\n        possession of abstract formulas, however deep, I have loaded the\n        lectures with concrete examples, and I have chosen these among the\n        extremer expressions of the religious temperament. To some readers I\n        may consequently seem, before they get beyond the middle of the book,\n        to offer a caricature of [pg\n        vi] the\n        subject. Such convulsions of piety, they will say, are not sane. If,\n        however, they will have the patience to read to the end, I believe\n        that this unfavorable impression will disappear; for I there combine\n        the religious impulses with other principles of common sense which\n        serve as correctives of exaggeration, and allow the individual reader\n        to draw as moderate conclusions as he will.\nMy thanks for help\n        in writing these lectures are due to Edwin D. Starbuck, of Stanford\n        University, who made over to me his large collection of manuscript\n        material; to Henry W. Rankin, of East Northfield, a friend unseen but\n        proved, to whom I owe precious information; to Theodore Flournoy, of\n        Geneva, to Canning Schiller, of Oxford, and to my colleague Benjamin\n        Rand, for documents; to my colleague Dickinson S. Miller, and to my\n        friends, Thomas Wren Ward, of New York, and Wincenty Lutoslawski,\n        late of Cracow, for important suggestions and advice.

Their first\r\nmeetings were held in the room of a cottage in which one of the\r\nmembers lived; and, as others shortly joined them, the place soon\r\nbecame inconveniently filled. When summer set in, they\r\nadjourned to the cottage garden outside; and the classes were\r\nthen held in the open air, round a little boarded hut used as a\r\ngarden-house, in which those who officiated as teachers set the\r\nsums, and gave forth the lessons of the evening. When the\r\nweather was fine, the youths might be seen, until a late hour,\r\nhanging round the door of the hut like a cluster of bees; but\r\nsometimes a sudden shower of rain would dash the sums from their\r\nslates, and disperse them for the evening unsatisfied.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 935 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Smiles, Samuel \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Smiles, Samuel,1812-1904 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211204952221,"sku":"gb-935-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/935_5b56d112-d621-4739-9d7a-d058546b42da.jpg?v=1671249104"},{"product_id":"ethics-part-3-gb-948","title":"Ethics — Part 3","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEthics — Part 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost writers on the emotions and on human conduct seem\r\nto be treating rather of matters outside nature than of natural\r\nphenomena following nature's general laws.

But, before I begin, it would be well\r\nto make a few prefatory observations on perfection and imperfection,\r\ngood and evil.\nWhen a man has purposed to make a given thing, and has brought it\r\nto perfection, his work will be pronounced perfect, not only by\r\nhimself, but by everyone who rightly knows, or thinks that he knows,\r\nthe intention and aim of its author. For instance, suppose anyone sees a\r\nwork (which I assume to be not yet completed), and knows that the aim\r\nof the author of that work is to build a house, he will call the work\r\nimperfect; he will, on the other hand, call it perfect, as soon as he\r\nsees that it is carried through to the end, which its author had purposed\r\nfor it. But if a man sees a work, the like whereof he has never seen\r\nbefore, and if he knows not the intention of the artificer, he plainly\r\ncannot know, whether that work be perfect or imperfect. Such seems to\r\nbe the primary meaning of these terms.\nBut, after men began to form general ideas, to think out types of\r\nhouses, buildings, towers, \u0026amp;c., and to prefer certain types to others,\r\nit came about, that each man called perfect that which he saw agree\r\nwith the general idea he had formed of the thing in question, and called\r\nimperfect that which he saw agree less with his own preconceived type,\r\neven though it had evidently been completed in accordance with the idea\r\nof its artificer.  This seems to be the only reason for calling natural\r\nphenomena, which, indeed, are not made with human hands, perfect or\r\nimperfect: for men are wont to form general ideas of things natural, no\r\nless than of things artificial, and such ideas they hold as types,\r\nbelieving that Nature (who they think does nothing without an object)\r\nhas them in view, and has set them as types before herself. Therefore,\r\nwhen they behold something in Nature, which does not wholly conform to\r\nthe preconceived type which they have formed of the thing in question,\r\nthey say that Nature has fallen short or has blundered, and has left\r\nher work incomplete. Thus we see that men are wont to style natural\r\nphenomena perfect or imperfect rather from their own prejudices, than\r\nfrom true knowledge of what they pronounce upon.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 971 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Spinoza, Benedictus de \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Elwes, R.

I shall therefore treat therein of the\r\npower of the reason, showing how far the reason can control the emotions,\r\nand what is the nature of Mental Freedom or Blessedness; we shall then be\r\nable to see, how much more powerful the wise man is than the ignorant.\r\nIt is no part of my design to point out the method and means whereby the\r\nunderstanding may be perfected, nor to show the skill whereby the body may\r\nbe so tended, as to be capable of the due performance of its functions. The\r\nlatter question lies in the province of Medicine, the former in the province\r\nof Logic. Here, therefore, I repeat, I shall treat only of the power of the\r\nmind, or of reason; and I shall mainly show the extent and nature of its\r\ndominion over the emotions, for their control and moderation. That we do\r\nnot possess absolute dominion over them, I have already shown. Yet the\r\nStoics have thought, that the emotions depended absolutely on our will, and\r\nthat we could absolutely govern them. But these philosophers were compelled,\r\nby the protest of experience, not from their own principles, to confess,\r\nthat no slight practice and zeal is needed to control and moderate them:\r\nand this someone endeavoured to illustrate by the example (if I remember\r\nrightly) of two dogs, the one a house-dog and the other a hunting-dog. For\r\nby long training it could be brought about, that the house-dog should become\r\naccustomed to hunt, and the hunting-dog to cease from running after hares.\r\nTo this opinion Descartes not a little inclines. For he maintained, that the\r\nsoul or mind is specially united to a particular part of the brain, namely,\r\nto that part called the pineal gland, by the aid of which the mind is\r\nenabled to feel all the movements which are set going in the body, and also\r\nexternal objects, and which the mind by a simple act of volition can put in\r\nmotion in various ways. He asserted, that this gland is so suspended in the\r\nmidst of the brain, that it could be moved by the slightest motion of the\r\nanimal spirits: further, that this gland is suspended in the midst of the\r\nbrain in as many different manners, as the animal spirits can impinge\r\nthereon; and, again, that as many different marks are impressed on the said\r\ngland, as there are different external objects which impel the animal\r\nspirits towards it; whence it follows, that if the will of the soul suspends\r\nthe gland in a position, wherein it has already been suspended once before\r\nby the animal spirits driven in one way or another, the gland in its turn\r\nreacts on the said spirits, driving and determining them to the condition\r\nwherein they were, when repulsed before by a similar position of the gland.\r\nHe further asserted, that every act of mental volition is united in nature\r\nto a certain given motion of the gland. For instance, whenever anyone\r\ndesires to look at a remote object, the act of volition causes the pupil of\r\nthe eye to dilate, whereas, if the person in question had only thought of\r\nthe dilatation of the pupil, the mere wish to dilate it would not have\r\nbrought about the result, inasmuch as the motion of the gland, which serves\r\nto impel the animal spirits towards the optic nerve in a way which would\r\ndilate or contract the pupil, is not associated in nature with the wish to\r\ndilate or contract the pupil, but with the wish to look at remote or very\r\nnear objects. Lastly, he maintained that, although every motion of the\r\naforesaid gland seems to have been united by nature to one particular\r\nthought out of the whole number of our thoughts from the very beginning of\r\nour life, yet it can nevertheless become through habituation associated with\r\nother thoughts; this he endeavours to prove in the Passions de l'ame, I. 50.\r\nHe thence concludes, that there is no soul so weak, that it cannot, under\r\nproper direction, acquire absolute power over its passions. For passions as\r\ndefined by him are \"perceptions, or feelings, or disturbances of the soul,\r\nwhich are referred to the soul as species, and which (mark the expression)\r\nare produced, preserved, and strengthened through some movement of the\r\nspirits.\" (Passion del l'ame,I.27.) But, seeing that we can join any motion\r\nof the gland, or consequently of the spirits, to any volition, the\r\ndetermination of the will depends entirely on our own powers; if, therefore,\r\nwe determine our will with sure and firm decisions in the direction to which\r\nwe wish our actions to tend, and associate the motions of the passions which\r\nwe wish to acquire with the said decisions, we shall acquire an absolute\r\ndominion over our passions. Such is the doctrine of this illustrious\r\nphilosopher (in so far as I gather it from his own words); it is one\r\nwhich, had it been less ingenious, I could hardly believe to have proceeded\r\nfrom so great a man. Indeed, I am lost in wonder, that a philosopher, who\r\nhad stoutly asserted, that he would draw no conclusions which do not follow\r\nfrom self-evident premisses, and would affirm nothing which he did not\r\nclearly and distinctly perceive, and who had so often taken to task the\r\nscholastics for wishing to explain obscurities through occult qualities,\r\ncould maintain a hypothesis, beside which occult qualities are commonplace.\r\nWhat does he understand, I ask, by the union of the mind and the body? What\r\nclear and distinct conception has he got of thought in most intimate union\r\nwith a certain particle of extended matter? Truly I should like him to\r\nexplain this union through its proximate cause. What clear and distinct\r\nconception has he got of thought in most intimate union with a certain\r\nparticle of extended matter? What clear and distinct conception has he got\r\nof thought in most intimate union with a certain particle of extended\r\nmatter? But he had so distinct a conception of mind being distinct from\r\nbody, that he could not assign any particular cause of the union between the\r\ntwo, or of the mind itself, but was obliged to have recourse to the cause of\r\nthe whole universe, that is to God. Further, I should much like to know,\r\nwhat degree of motion the mind can impart to this pineal gland, and with\r\nwhat force can it hold it suspended? For I am in ignorance, whether this\r\ngland can be agitated more slowly or more quickly by the mind than by the\r\nanimal spirits, and whether the motions of the passions, which we have\r\nclosely united with firm decisions, cannot be again disjoined therefrom by\r\nphysical causes; in which case it would follow that, although the mind\r\nfirmly intended to face a given danger, and had united to this decision the\r\nmotions of boldness, yet at the sight of the danger the gland might become\r\nsuspended in a way, which would preclude the mind thinking of anything\r\nexcept running away. In truth, as there is no common standard of volition\r\nand motion, so is there no comparison possible between the powers of the\r\nmind and the power or strength of the body; consequently the strength of one\r\ncannot in any wise be determined by the strength of the other. We may also\r\nadd, that there is no gland discoverable in the midst of the brain, so\r\nplaced that it can thus easily be set in motion in so many ways, and also\r\nthat all the nerves are not prolonged so far as the cavities of the brain.\r\nLastly, I omit all the assertions which he makes concerning the will and its\r\nfreedom, inasmuch as I have abundantly proved that his premisses are false.\r\nTherefore, since the power of the mind, as I have shown above, is defined by\r\nthe understanding only, we shall determine solely by the knowledge of the\r\nmind the remedies against the emotions, which I believe all have had\r\nexperience of, but do not accurately observe or distinctly see, and from the\r\nsame basis we shall deduce all those conclusions, which have regard to the\r\nmind's blessedness.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 975 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Spinoza, Benedictus de \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Elwes, R.

(2) They suppose, forsooth, that God is inactive so long as\r\nnature works in her accustomed order, and vice versa, that the power of\r\nnature and natural causes are idle so long as God is acting: thus they\r\nimagine two powers distinct one from the other, the power of God and the\r\npower of nature, though the latter is in a sense determined by God, or (as\r\nmost people believe now) created by Him.

That belief is not orthodox Christianity; it is not,\r\n      indeed, Christianity at all; its core nevertheless is a profound belief in\r\n      a personal and intimate God. There is nothing in its statements that need\r\n      shock or offend anyone who is prepared for the expression of a faith\r\n      different from and perhaps in several particulars opposed to his own. The\r\n      writer will be found to be sympathetic with all sincere religious feeling.\r\n      Nevertheless it is well to prepare the prospective reader for statements\r\n      that may jar harshly against deeply rooted mental habits. It is well to\r\n      warn him at the outset that the departure from accepted beliefs is here no\r\n      vague scepticism, but a quite sharply defined objection to dogmas very\r\n      widely revered. Let the writer state the most probable occasion of trouble\r\n      forthwith. An issue upon which this book will be found particularly\r\n      uncompromising is the dogma of the Trinity. The writer is of opinion that\r\n      the Council of Nicaea, which forcibly crystallised the controversies of\r\n      two centuries and formulated the creed upon which all the existing\r\n      Christian churches are based, was one of the most disastrous and one of\r\n      the least venerable of all religious gatherings, and he holds that the\r\n      Alexandrine speculations which were then conclusively imposed upon\r\n      Christianity merit only disrespectful attention at the present time. There\r\n      you have a chief possibility of offence. He is quite unable to pretend any\r\n      awe for what he considers the spiritual monstrosities established by that\r\n      undignified gathering. He makes no attempt to be obscure or propitiatory\r\n      in this connection. He criticises the creeds explicitly and frankly,\r\n      because he believes it is particularly necessary to clear them out of the\r\n      way of those who are seeking religious consolation at this present time of\r\n      exceptional religious need. He does little to conceal his indignation at\r\n      the role played by these dogmas in obscuring, perverting, and preventing\r\n      the religious life of mankind. After this warning such readers from among\r\n      the various Christian churches and sects as are accessible to storms of\r\n      theological fear or passion to whom the Trinity is an ineffable mystery\r\n      and the name of God almost unspeakably awful, read on at their own risk.\r\n      This is a religious book written by a believer, but so far as their\r\n      beliefs and religion go it may seem to them more sceptical and more\r\n      antagonistic than blank atheism. That the writer cannot tell. He is not\r\n      simply denying their God. He is declaring that there is a living God,\r\n      different altogether from that Triune God and nearer to the heart of man.\r\n      The spirit of this book is like that of a missionary who would only too\r\n      gladly overthrow and smash some Polynesian divinity of sharks teeth and\r\n      painted wood and mother-of-pearl. To the writer such elaborations as\r\n      begotten of the Father before all worlds are no better than intellectual\r\n      sharks teeth and oyster shells. His purpose, like the purpose of that\r\n      missionary, is not primarily to shock and insult; but he is zealous to\r\n      liberate, and he is impatient with a reverence that stands between man and\r\n      God. He gives this fair warning and proceeds with his matter.\r\n    \n\r\n      His matter is modern religion as he sees it. It is only incidentally and\r\n      because it is unavoidable that he attacks doctrinal Christianity.\r\n    \n\r\n      In a previous book, First and Last Things (Constable and Co.), he has\r\n      stated his convictions upon certain general ideas of life and thought as\r\n      clearly as he could. All of philosophy, all of metaphysics that is, seems\r\n      to him to be a discussion of the relations of class and individual. The\r\n      antagonism of the Nominalist and the Realist, the opposition of the One\r\n      and the Many, the contrast of the Ideal and the Actual, all these\r\n      oppositions express a certain structural and essential duality in the\r\n      activity of the human mind. From an imperfect recognition of that duality\r\n      ensue great masses of misconception. That was the substance of First and\r\n      Last Things. In this present book there is no further attack on\r\n      philosophical or metaphysical questions. Here we work at a less\r\n      fundamental level and deal with religious feeling and religious ideas. But\r\n      just as the writer was inclined to attribute a whole world of disputation\r\n      and inexactitudes to confused thinking about the exact value of classes\r\n      and terms, so here he is disposed to think that interminable controversies\r\n      and conflicts arise out of a confusion of intention due to a double\r\n      meaning of the word God; that the word God conveys not one idea or set\r\n      of ideas, but several essentially different ideas, incompatible one with\r\n      another, and falling mainly into one or other of two divergent groups; and\r\n      that people slip carelessly from one to the other of these groups of ideas\r\n      and so get into ultimately inextricable confusions.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1046 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Wells, H.

In treating of popular legends and superstitions, the paths of\n      inquiry are circuitous enough, and seldom can we reach a satisfactory\n      conclusion until we have travelled all the way around Robin Hood's barn\n      and back again. I am sure that the reader would not have thanked me for\n      obstructing these crooked lanes with the thorns and brambles of\n      philological and antiquarian discussion, to such an extent as perhaps to\n      make him despair of ever reaching the high road. I have not attempted to\n      review, otherwise than incidentally, the works of Grimm, Muller, Kuhn,\n      Breal, Dasent, and Tylor; nor can I pretend to have added anything of\n      consequence, save now and then some bit of explanatory comment, to the\n      results obtained by the labour of these scholars; but it has rather been\n      my aim to present these results in such a way as to awaken general\n      interest in them. And accordingly, in dealing with a subject which depends\n      upon philology almost as much as astronomy depends upon mathematics, I\n      have omitted philological considerations wherever it has been possible to\n      do so. Nevertheless, I believe that nothing has been advanced as\n      established which is not now generally admitted by scholars, and that\n      nothing has been advanced as probable for which due evidence cannot be\n      produced. Yet among many points which are proved, and many others which\n      are probable, there must always remain many other facts of which we cannot\n      feel sure that our own explanation is the true one; and the student who\n      endeavours to fathom the primitive thoughts of mankind, as enshrined in\n      mythology, will do well to bear in mind the modest words of Jacob Grimm,himself\n      the greatest scholar and thinker who has ever dealt with this class of\n      subjects,\"I shall indeed interpret all that I can, but I cannot\n      interpret all that I should like.\"\n    \n\n      PETERSHAM, September 6, 1872.\n    \n\n \n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1061 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Fiske, John \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Fiske, John,1842-1901 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212100829341,"sku":"gb-1061-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/1061_6a74d541-bae9-4e6d-9618-1ccaf8a4540a.jpg?v=1671250028"},{"product_id":"the-memorabilia-gb-1177","title":"The Memorabilia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Memorabilia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      I have often wondered by what arguments those who indicted (1) Socrates\n      could have persuaded the Athenians that his life was justly forfeit to the\n      state. The indictment was to this effect: \"Socrates is guilty of crime in\n      refusing to recognise the gods acknowledged by the state, and importing\n      strange divinities of his own; he is further guilty of corrupting the\n      young.\"\n    \n\n      In the first place, what evidence did they produce that Socrates refused\n      to recognise the gods acknowledged by the state? Was it that he did not\n      sacrifice? or that he dispensed with divination? On the contrary, he was\n      often to be seen engaged in sacrifice, at home or at the common altars of\n      the state. Nor was his dependence on divination less manifest. Indeed that\n      saying of his, \"A divinity (2) gives me a sign,\" was on everybody's lips.\n      So much so that, if I am not mistaken, it lay at the root of the\n      imputation that he imported novel divinities; though there was no greater\n      novelty in his case than in that of other believers in oracular help, who\n      commonly rely on omens of all sorts: the flight or cry of birds, the\n      utterances of man, chance meetings, (3) or a victim's entrails. Even\n      according to the popular conception, it is not the mere fowl, it is not\n      the chance individual one meets, who knows what things are profitable for\n      a man, but it is the gods who vouchsafe by such instruments to signify the\n      same. This was also the tenet of Socrates. Only, whereas men ordinarily\n      speak of being turned aside, or urged onwards by birds, or other creatures\n      encountered on the path, Socrates suited his language to his conviction.\n      \"The divinity,\" said he, \"gives me a sign.\" Further, he would constantly\n      advise his associates to do this, or beware of doing that, upon the\n      authority of this same divine voice; and, as a matter of fact, those who\n      listened to his warnings prospered, whilst he who turned a deaf ear to\n      them repented afterwards. (4) Yet, it will be readily conceded, he would\n      hardly desire to present himself to his everyday companions in the\n      character of either knave or fool. Whereas he would have appeared to be\n      both, supposing (5) the God-given revelations had but revealed his own\n      proneness to deception. It is plain he would not have ventured on forecast\n      at all, but for his belief that the words he spoke would in fact be\n      verified. Then on whom, or what, was the assurance rooted, if not upon\n      God? And if he had faith in the gods, how could he fail to recognise them?\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1177 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Xenophon, 431 BCE-350?
